Chapter 31 Entering the International?
Chu Li's fury is well known, big and small things can make him scold and dirty, let's not mention that he blames the slump in the science fiction market on the fact that readers don't know how to appreciate this kind of vexatious behavior, because the facts have proven how ridiculous these words are.
If this is the case, then how can Xiqiu increase the sales of "Fantasy World" to 150,000 copies in a single issue is not enough to meet the market, and even "Science Fiction Sky" has taken a ride, and how can the 200,000 copies of "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" be sold out in such a short time. Of course, we don't have to take the opportunity to mock Chu Li.
Talent can be proud, since ancient times, literati have been light, and Chu Li is indeed one of the few people in China who can write science fiction novels not so badly, so I used to think that it was not a big deal for him to be open-mouthed, and it was not a big deal for talented people to be low-key, and it didn't hurt to be empty-eyed, because others couldn't help you.
It's just that if you have no merit in yourself, and you have to blame others, it will be as disgraceful as a clown. Chu Li has criticized Xiqiu and his works several times, and threatened to let Xiqiu understand what science fiction is, but what is he writing when he is so ashamed?
Chu Li emphasized that the core of "The Public Enemy of Machines" is the moral issue between humans and machines, but the description is so blunt and contrived, if this theme is abandoned, the quality of the novel will be better. On the other hand, Xiqiu, she described this theme more freely, and Chi Guoguo slapped Chu Li.
After the creation of the autumn is born, it will definitely be enshrined as the three rules of the Bible, and it will be discussed in more depth in the second short story of "I, Ji Qì People", and at this time, Chu Li shows us a boring procrastination plot.
In all fairness, "Mechanical Public Enemy" is not useless, if it is not necessary to compare it with better works, its watchability will actually be higher, because if you don't compare, many of the shortcomings are actually not obvious.
If you don't write a collapse, this story is also worth reading, after all, the description and details of the battlefield scene are also in place, but such expectations are completely extravagant, from the moment of dragging the plot, this story has actually collapsed, the only thing to be thankful for is that Chu Li, who has always had a big mouth, finally closed his mouth this time, indicating that he can at least see himself clearly.
As a reader, we should be grateful to Chu Li, without him we may not be able to see the wonderful story of "I, Ji Qì People", Xiqiu's original intention in writing this story was to fight with Chu Li, with the element of anger, but I have to say that this is a very good story.

"This guy said that there was no need to taunt Chu Li, but he ran through it first, is this really good?" Zhang Qiuxi held the newspaper in her hand and smiled like a flower, which was enough to see how wonderful her mood was at this time.
Li Yue smiled and said: "Chu Li's big mouth has not offended people, but he does have two brushes, people didn't have the upper hand in arguing with him before, but he was attacked more fiercely, and now he messed up himself, can it not make people feel relieved." ”
The arguments between ordinary people and celebrities are very bad, because the weight of what celebrities say is heavier, not to mention that there are some brainless fans behind each celebrity, and ordinary people can never share the same hatred when arguing with celebrities, so it seems even more unconfident.
For example, Chu Li criticized the Chinese people for not knowing how to appreciate and appreciate science fiction, this kind of vexatious remarks still have some brainless fans who think it is correct, and others argue as if they can't accept reality, in fact, Chu Li also said the same thing in the scolding, this fact once again proves how important it is to have no pig teammates.
Because there is usually no one in his eyes, this time Chu Li planted his heel and ushered in countless people who fell into the well, and the media on the Internet was full of ridicule, many of which were well-known book reviewers, and the opening article was widely reprinted.
For the matter of irrigating water at the moment of Guanjing, even the most loyal brain-dead fans can't actually shout, the facts are already in front of them, and no matter how strong the words are, they will only attract more ridicule.
Countless people waited for Chu to leave, and they really wanted to see what he would say now, Chu Li, who could suffocate to death without scolding for a few days, still chose to be silent at this time.
"Hawkers, people are scratching their heads now and thinking about the follow-up plot, and it's normal to have no time to pay attention to these little things." Zhang Qiuxi's current expression looks a bit villainous, but in Li Yue's eyes, it is cute......
"The sales of recent issues of Science Fiction Sky are close to 120,000 copies, although this issue was very popular in the first few days of release, but the irrigation caused public anger, and the sales are likely to drop sharply, and the next issue is only afraid that it will fall back to the previous level."
"This is inevitable, but compared to this, what I care more about is that the matter is finally over, Chu Liyin should not attack me again in the future, and others will not compare me with him, right?"
Li Yue said: "If you want to win or lose, in fact, it has already been separated, and now Chu Li is just losing even more miserably, and he can't turn over at all, I'm afraid that few people will pay attention to what will happen to the mechanical public enemy." ”
"Winning is winning, but looking back, I actually spent months with him, and suddenly I feel a little unworthy."
"Ah Qiu, aren't you now known as the leader of science fiction in the Celestial Empire? It's not worth the delay, by the way, you seem to have said before that you wanted to try to write martial arts novels. Li Yue suddenly remembered after realizing it.
Compared with Chu Li, who was ridiculed by countless people, Zhang Qiuxi got a lot of praise, what kind of title such as carrying the banner of Dingren and science fiction was added to her one after another, and she blushed when she looked at some comments, feeling that she was too popular, but no one refuted it.
"It is still necessary to pay attention in the future, the higher you hold it, the more painful it will be, if you drop the chain, it is estimated that it will be worse than the current Chu Li."
Zhang Qiuxi's mental age is not only sixteen years old, many things are very clear, and he is not dizzy to be sought after.
There are already many people on the Internet talking about how far she can go, the Celestial Empire has never had an influential science fiction writer in the world, can she be the first?
In this regard, her supporters swore that whether it is "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy", "The Restaurant at the End of the Universe" or "I, the Machine Qì Man" are all world-class, and she is only 16 years old now, and it is not a problem to work hard to become internationally famous.
Not only fans, many well-known writers and critics inside and outside the industry think that Zhang Qiuxi's future achievements are limitless, but they don't know that Zhang Qiuxi never thought of studying science fiction at all, if it weren't for Chu Li's relationship, she would have run to copy it a long time ago...... Wrote martial arts novels.
If the outside world knows what her thoughts will be, it is estimated that many people will feel heartbroken, worried that she will be greedy and chew more, and finally delay the development in the field of science fiction.
Zhang Qiuxi never thought about this kind of thing, he was just one of the thousands of unknown otaku before, and now he can mix the identity of a well-known writer is just a crossover welfare and cheekiness, which is already very satisfying.
But the truth is always unexpected, someone @ her on Weibo, when she asked what her goal was, she didn't respond, but Hongdou brought a blockbuster good news. By the way, she already has more than 50,000 fans on Weibo.
——————
"What, you said that an American bookseller took a fancy to my book and wanted to translate it into English and publish it?" Zhang Qiuxi was very surprised when she heard the news, this matter was still being discussed on the Internet, but she didn't expect the first step to be taken out so soon.
Hongdou said: "What's so surprising about this, with the development of all aspects of my Great Celestial Empire, foreigners are becoming more and more interested in us, and there are more than ten or twenty books translated into English every year." ”
"It feels amazing."
"But don't get too excited, although it is said that the manuscript fee is indispensable to you, but it doesn't mean anything, in fact, those works that are translated into English will eventually be lost." The red bean followed with another basin of cold water.
Zhang Qiu held his forehead and said, "I know that this is the case, but in fact, the only benefit is just to be able to earn a little more manuscript fees, right?" ”
"Cultural differences, after all, the world is still dominated by the West." The red beans are also a little deflated.
"Although it is good to be able to earn a little more manuscript fee, but with the current situation, it seems that it will be a bit troublesome if the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy hits the streets in Europe and the United States." Zhang Qiuxi has a headache when she thinks about it, so many people on the Internet are full of expectations for her, but the result is that her miserable words seem to attract a lot of ridicule.
"Actually, you don't have to be too pessimistic."
Hongdou continued: "Almost all of the works translated into English before were literary works, because the ideas and cultures are different, it is understandable that foreigners can't understand them, and the situation of popular novels is much better, Hua Yongsheng's martial arts novels have sold hundreds of thousands of copies in the United States." ”
"That's for the Chinese." Zhang Qiuxi couldn't help but complain, Hongdou said that she didn't feel looking forward to it at all.
"Hawkers, science fiction knows no borders, and it will be easier for foreigners to accept it, if your book is not so Chinese-style humor."
“……”
Zhang Qiuxi was speechless and said, "If you want to comfort me in the future, can you not tell me the real situation?" ”
Chinese humor must be difficult for foreigners to understand, if it is to maintain British humor according to the original work, then it is estimated that it will be suspended in China, after all, not everyone is so "tall" and can understand British humor.
"The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy and the restaurants at the end of the universe may be a bit of a problem, but I, the machine qì people, are worth looking forward to, otherwise the American booksellers wouldn't have spent this unjust money, right?"
"Uh, it's not just the English rights to the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy that have been sold?" Zhang Qiuxi was a little surprised.
