The United States is not the same as China.

China is a country with a complex religion, but the United States is a country that is very religious.

From civilians to presidents, they all have their own beliefs.

Although among these people, they are also supporters of materialism.

But they also believe that materialism is not incompatible with having one's own beliefs.

In other words, they are guided by materialism in their daily lives.

And deep down, they pursue their own beliefs, their own gods.

Brahma dreamed, this is as beautiful as God created man.

Moreover, in Brahma's dream, he also metaphorically alludes to Pi's cannibal island.

The already popular Life Pi finds the true meaning of the novel in the new Brahma dream.

It turns out that Pi is not a wilderness survival.

It turns out that the Youth Pi is not a torture of human nature.

It turns out that Life School is a work that proves the existence of God.

Because of this most real and meaningful metaphor, Youth Pi wrote the ending even when it was serialized. However, for the sake of this postscript, in search of the legendary God, countless readers did not hesitate anymore and chose to buy this work. And, at the same time, they don't forget to introduce Life Pi to other readers while buying it themselves.

Everything became logical, and the record of 1.65 million copies sold by the Youth School in a week became no longer so difficult to accept.

And because of the youth pie, Huang Yifan's pen name HYF in the United States instantly rose to 5 stars.

Of course, this is not the final result, and if it can remain popular in the future, it is unknown that the final score will rise to 6 stars with 5 million copies.

It's just that the creation record of the youth school on one side, and some authors on the other side are extremely unbalanced.

"Guys, what do you think of Pi Pi?"

The well-known American writer "Cisse" said a sentence in the "Who is the first" YY group.

The "Who is First" group is a group of 300 writers invited by Cisse to launch a new book in 2019.

The meaning is very simple, I want to compete with all the writers in the group to see whose novels sell the best in 2019.

Of course, such a competition is half a competition and half a game. Everyone knows each author, and although everyone is competing in secret, it doesn't matter much who wins the first place. However, just when these writers were promoting their own works, going on sale and other activities, suddenly a novel sprung up and directly grabbed the first place in their hearts.

Yes, they think that the number one best-selling list of American novels in 2019 must be in their group.

You know, their group of writers are some of the best-selling and well-known writers in the United States in recent years. Although not all well-known writers are in the group, nearly 300 writers who have been active recently are in their group. It would be nice to say that a writer in their group won the first place, but no one expected that an unknown author would make them a little incomprehensible.

As the group management, "Cisse" said a word in the group at this time.

"I've seen it. ”

"This work is okay. ”

"Cisse, what?"

Soon, the other authors in the group had replied.

"It's nothing, I just think the sales figures for this novel are incredible. ”

Cisse said directly.

"It's a little incredible, but this novel is very popular, and it seems normal to create such a record. ”

"No, no, no, this novel is very popular, but, everyone, have you ever wondered why this novel is popular?"

"Well, I haven't studied it too closely, Cisse, what do you think?"

"I researched it, and although the novel of Life Pi is not badly written, it is not particularly well written. Anyway, I thought a lot of the plots in it were fake, and I didn't understand them. Of course, it doesn't matter. Haven't you noticed that in fact, at the beginning of the novel of Youth School, there have been many interpretations of works on the Internet?"

"Cisse, it doesn't seem like much. ”

"Well, how can I tell you? I have investigated, the author of the Youth School, HYF, is not actually a well-known writer, and he is also the vest of the immortal author, he is a rookie author. Moreover, he is only 21 years old. In particular, he is only an international student from China......"

"Hey, 21 years old, a Chinese student?"

"New author?"

A few key words surprised the other writers in the group at once.

"Yes, so do you think that such a new writer can make such a big splash when he first starts writing a novel? No, absolutely impossible. ”

Cisse shook his head.

He doesn't have any grudges with HYF, but Cisse's recently published work "Canadasi" was supposed to sell so well that he thought it would win the 2019 best-selling novel list in the United States. However, a juvenile school has pressed his work into the quagmire. In a few weeks, his novels could sell more than 10,000 copies a week, but now they can sell 1,000 copies.

In his heart, Cisse naturally hated the author of HYF.

"Everyone has come from a new author, and I don't want to say that everyone knows the difficulties of new authors. Not to mention an ordinary work, even if it is a famous work. At the beginning, because he was a rookie author, he had no fame and no influence, and his works could not attract too much attention. Danny's novel "Grimm's Travels" is a classic, but when he was not famous, Grimm's Travels only sold less than 100,000 copies a year, and only sold 10 million copies in the following decades. ”

"Cisse, you're saying there's a problem with the Juvenile Pi's data?"

"The data should be fine, the Writers Guild of America has certified HYF's sales figures, and just yesterday, it has upgraded HYF's writer star rating to 5 stars. However, the fact that there is no problem with the data does not mean that there is no problem with this novel. I think that the reason why the novel of Life Pi is selling so well must have used some despicable means. For example, on the Internet, please sought-after and shamelessly obscene screen ads...... I'm going to expose HYF's outrageous behavior through the media, would you be interested in going along?"

"Cisse, I think it's better to be cautious, after all, we don't have direct evidence. ”

"Hehe, guys, when have you been so cowardly. Those of us who write for a living, when do we need direct evidence? Even if there is no evidence, we can still suspect the other party. Of course, if you don't want to, you can do that. However, I would like to remind you to take a look at the sales figures of their respective works in the recent period......"

Looking at this, many writers in the group have changed color.

Immediately, no longer hesitating, "Cisse, I think you're right, I'll publish an article on my blog in a moment." ”

"Well, tomorrow I'm going to talk to the newspaper reporter about the boys. ”

"I'll also have a good time analyzing the life of Pi. ”

……

Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes.

Although Huang Yifan has come to the United States, the United States also has rivers and lakes.

While the U.S. may not be in vogue about the quacks, the U.S. challenges from its peers are greater than at home.

[Youth Pi became famous by hype, but in fact, the work is very ordinary. 】

[From ordinary works to popular bestsellers, you just need to package them.] 】

[On the role of Internet gunmen in promoting a novel, Life School is the best example.] 】

[Of the 1.65 million copies sold, 1 million of them were sold to readers who did not know the truth.] 】

Just the day after Huang Yifan was promoted to a 5-star writer, a series of writers from the United States have all attacked Huang Yifan.

"Huang Yifan, why don't you stand up and explain to the media. ”

On campus, Huang Yifan met Annie.

Anne, who has been paying attention to Huang Yifan, talked about many authors' attacks on Huang Yifan.

"Explain what?"

Huang Yifan didn't have any expression, as if these things had nothing to do with him.

"Explain that these guys are maliciously slandering you. ”

"Oh......"

Huang Yifan looked suddenly enlightened, "But what's the use?"

"How useless. Huang Yifan, you have just written, if you are hated by all writers in the writing circle, or even misunderstood by many readers, then your reputation will be ruined. Aren't you worried that the readers of your next novel will misunderstand your pseudonym and your work because you've been attacked by these people?"

"Not at all. ”

Huang Yifan shook his head, "Classic works have never been afraid of being questioned by others. ”

"Khan ......"

Anne was a little speechless.

She wants to say that new authors will think very highly of themselves, and think that their works are more classic than the other.

But often these newcomer authors don't say that what they write is classics, and many of them can't even be published.

It's just that thinking of Huang Yifan's genius, Anne didn't know what to say.

"Are you sure the next work can be written like a classic like Life Pi?"

"Sure. ”

Huang Yifan nodded and confirmed, "I'm not only sure that my next work will be as classic as Youth School, but I'm also sure that my next work next work, or even the next next work, can be the same classic as Youth School." ”

After speaking, Huang Yifan shook his head again, "Okay, I said something wrong. ”

Seeing that Huang Yifan took the initiative to admit her mistake, Anne smiled and was about to praise Huang Yifan, but Huang Yifan said, "Actually, what I want to say is that my next work is more classic than Juvenile School." ”

After speaking, Huang Yifan and Anne should not be separated.

What was left behind was Anne, who was crying and laughing.

However, Anne didn't know.

When she thought it was just Huang Yifan's joke, or a sentimental remark.

Ten years later, Anne looked back and she realized.

It turned out that in the past ten years, Huang Yifan's worst work was the Youth School. (To be continued.) )
