"My God! It's unexpected! "Brothers" actually won the first place on the best-selling list in March! ”

The New York Times editorial office, Allison exclaimed.

New York Times has a tradition of publishing best-selling books, and now, Allison is looking at the national best-selling list of books in the United States in March, and the Chinese novel "Brothers" is impressively ranked first.

It's so eye-catching!

"Brothers" sold a total of 480,000 copies nationwide in March! Later, he came to the top and won the best-selling champion in one fell swoop.

The books of the original best-selling authors in the United States have been crushed by it!

"'Brothers' it has this potential, Allison, it deserves this best-selling number one, it's really good to read, I've watched it twice in a row, and I've started watching it for the third time now. Moreover, I also participated in that book review contest, not for the huge prize money, but because my heart is now in my throat, and if I don't say it and write it, I will be disturbed! Bobby said.

"Oh hehe!" Next to him, a reporter sneered.

"I said, Bob, why are you smiling like that? Isn't "Brothers" good? Or are you biased against Chinese writers? Bobbi frowned.

The sneering reporter was called Bob.

He is a veteran journalist in his forties.

"It's not interesting to sell this well, Bobby, Allison, it's not worth the fuss! It used some extraordinary tactics, in other words, it cheated, and it used the '100,000 dollar book review contest' to stimulate people's greed, I think, the vast majority of people who bought "Brothers." It's all because of this! This Chinese book, to be honest. I'm not interested in reading it, it's too commercial. It makes me feel nothing but nausea! Bob said.

"Bob, you are too extreme, the great man of China, Mao, once said that without investigation, there is no right to speak, you haven't even read this book, how do you know it's not good? You are prejudice, you are racist! When you say the book "Brothers" in this tone, you are insulting my intelligence, isn't the book that I like Bobby deserving of a good book? Do you think you have a much higher vision than I do? No. No! Bob, it's dangerous to think like this, and it's going to keep you from making progress! I suggest you read this book, read a few pages, and you will definitely be hooked! I never lie, and I don't have to lobby you to lie to you, do I? I'm just kind enough to recommend you a good book! Poppy said excitedly.

Bob's attitude made him uncomfortable.

"Okay. Okay, Bobby, I'll take a look at this book. Bob shook his head.

He turned away, muttering, "It's all crazy." It's all crazy! ”

At the beginning of April, the New York Times March bestseller list was announced. After seeing that the first place was the Chinese novel "Brothers", the whole United States was sensational.

A lot of media are involved. Rush to report on this amazing thing.

Among them, there are praises and disadvantages. Unable to agree or decide which is right.

Praisers believe: "The novel "Brothers" by the Chinese wonder boy Xiao Fei is written in a magnificent manner, writing about the vicissitudes of China's history for decades, and its literary value is comparable to Black Pearl's "The Earth"! In Xiao Fei's pen, the strange events in the land of China are absurd or sad, warm or cold, very real and shocking! Moreover, the story is very readable! ”

The detractors criticized: "Literature should not be too philistine, it should not be too stained with the smell of copper, and it is not advisable to use the form of heavy money to solicit book reviews for marketing in order to sell more books!" If "Brothers" hadn't used a $100,000 book review campaign, the book would not have been able to sell so well, that's for sure! ”

Praisers think that this is the best Chinese novel they have seen, and it has a world style!

Detractors say the book is terrible, and the story told is a fabrication of the author's imagination and is untrue.

However, both praisers and detractors have to admit that "Brothers" is on fire, and it is a hot mess, and many Americans are reading and talking about this novel.

Snowflakes of book reviews are sent to all media outlets across the United States.

The vast majority of these book reviews are positive compliments.

Of course, there are also many university professors and literature students who have conducted professional research and in-depth evaluation of "Brothers".

In the study of these people, the novel is deconstructed and analyzed from many aspects, such as cultural significance, social background, narrative means, and the spiritual core of the story.

Experts and professors in the United States believe that the language of the book "Brothers" is very distinctive and the sentences are exquisite, of course, this is all done well by the translator, but it is not difficult to see that the language of the original Chinese book is also quite exquisite. And the reason why this book is so easy to read and attractive is because the author handles the details very well, the feelings are very full, and there is a very important one: the curiosity of the book is very good!

If, in the beginning, the vast majority of American readers paid attention to "Brothers" because of 100,000 dollars, later on, this big-money book review contest was rarely mentioned, and everyone began to discuss the various benefits of "Brothers" itself.

In the United States, there are quite a few Chinese.

The popularity of "Brothers" also made the local Chinese very proud.

Many Chinese families even bought the book "Brothers" as a gift to each other.

A large number of Chinese people who lack English reading skills have begun to look for brothers in the Chinese version, which has led to a rapid increase in the outsourcing business of the Chinese version of "Brothers" by the Chinese Writers Publishing House: in just one month, thousands of readers from the United States have written to buy the "Brothers" novel.

The English version of "Brothers" was a bestseller in the United States and quickly spread back to China.

Especially when the "New York Times" best-selling list came out in March, the news that "Brothers" topped the list caused a lot of noise and carnival in domestic public opinion.

Even the People's Daily devoted a lot of space to reporting on the incident.

The newspaper posted a message on the front page: China's young writer Xiao Fei's masterpiece "Brothers" is selling well in the United States, selling nearly 500,000 copies in a single month! Ranked No. 1 on the New York Times best-seller list.

This achievement is undoubtedly epoch-making.

No Chinese writer has ever achieved such a best-selling result in the United States before.

Therefore, after seeing this news, the domestic literary world and ordinary people are boiling.

"Xiao Fei is good."

"I knew that my Xiao Fei would be so good! Woooooo There is no better Chinese writer in this world than him. ”

"It's unprecedented! This is a good thing that has never been done before! Xiao Fei is winning glory for the country! ”

Xiao Fei's peaceful life was also shattered, and reporters flocked to interview him and want him to say something to his readers.

And all of Xiao Fei's books have once again set off a sales frenzy in China. (To be continued.) )
