"Love in the Time of Cholera" has a total print run of 32 million copies.

Half of it, that's 16 million copies.

Gu Yuanzhen was stunned for a moment when she heard this.

Others have little exposure to the book industry and have little idea of 16 million copies.

Qin Yunchu and He Shiying only knew that it was very impressive to sell 16 million copies.

And Gu Yuanzhen has dealt with publishing houses because of the family business.

He knew it.

What is the concept of 16 million copies?

In the whole of Jiangdong, the total number of readings of everyone in a year is only 16 million.

Spreading the number of 16 million copies across the country, it doesn't seem like much, and only 1 in 100 people has read it.

But a shocking fact is: "Journey to the East", "Romance of the Seven Kingdoms", "Legend of the Foothills", "Qinglou Love" and other four famous novels combined, the sales volume is only 20 million.

In other words, 16 million copies have touched the ceiling of domestic books.

It is equivalent to covering the entire reading population.

This means that anyone who reads a book must have read this book.

Gu Yuanzhen cautiously asked, "What's the name of your book?" ”

Liu Ruyan's voice seemed to float from a very distant place:

""Offside Cohabitation" ......"

"Ahh

He Shiying covered her mouth and screamed a little.

"I've read your book!"

Her face was flushed and she was a little excited.

Although Qin Yunchu was very calm, her heart was still shaking.

She had also read the book.

"You're that genius female writer like smoke?"

He Shiying was very annoyed.

She should have thought of it a long time ago.

Willow is like smoke, like smoke.

The name is almost explicit.

Most of all, she especially likes the book "Offside Cohabitation"!

"It's so beautiful like smoke......"

He Shiying muttered.

While reading that book, she fantasized about what the author would look like.

If you can call the name "like smoke", you should not look ugly.

How do you know when you see a real person, isn't this just "not ugly"?

She has already restrained herself quite a lot, otherwise this place will immediately become a large-scale star-chasing scene.

Gu Yuanzhen put it under the table, and his hands trembled slightly.

He tried to restrain his uneasiness and said: "I heard that "Offside Cohabitation" is going to be filmed? ”

Liu Ruyan nodded: "Yes." ”

"The adaptation rights were sold to Double Star?"

"Hmm."

Gu Yuanzhen puffed up his chest slightly: "You may not know that Shuangxing Company is a subsidiary of my company. ”

Liu Ruyan raised her eyes and glanced at him.

Gu Yuanzhen showed a smile: "If there is something in the company that makes you embarrassed, you can come to me, and I will help you settle it." ”

Liu Ruyan shook her head: "Thank you, no need." ”

Compared with the other two people's different star-chasing behaviors, Qin Yunchu's attention was still on Chen Ya.

She took the book in Liu Ruyan's hand, glanced at the words on the title page again, and read it out in a low voice:

"Love is an instinct, but creation is not.

I'm not good at love, you're not good at writing......"

She looked up and asked, "When did he write this?" ”

Liu Ruyan's little face showed a trace of resentment: "A few months ago." ”

"A few months ago?" He Shiying found the problem, "Didn't your "Offside Cohabitation" be written a long time ago? ”

Gu Yuanzhen also frowned and said: "Joke, if you write such a good book as "Offside Cohabitation", can you still be considered bad at writing?" ”

The two of them were fighting for Liu Ruyan, but the more they talked, the more Liu Ruyan's mood was visibly depressed.

"I'm useless compared to the teacher......" she frowned, annoyed.

Qin Yunchu asked in a low voice, "Your teacher...... Chen Ya, what is his pen name? What books have you written? ”

He Shiying and Gu Yuanzhen were suddenly so nervous that they held their breath.

To be able to teach such a powerful apprentice, how powerful does the master have to be?

Liu Ruyan's eyes were hazy again, and after a while, the voice seemed to float from a long distance:

"I don't know."

"Huh?"

This answer surprised everyone.

"How could you not know?" Qin Yunchu said, "When he was writing, weren't you beside you?" ”

Liu Ruyan's voice was a little aggrieved: "When I started writing, the teacher had been closed for ten years. ”

"Seal the pen? Why did he seal the pen? He Shiying asked.

"He said that he had finished writing all his books in his life and that he didn't want to write anymore."

"Wait," Qin Yunchu's eyes widened, "Isn't Chen Ya only 27 years old this year?" He sealed the pen for 10 years, so he sealed the pen at the age of 17? ”

"Poof!" Gu Yuanzhen laughed suddenly.

Most writers have not yet started writing when they are 17 years old, and Chen Ya has already closed his pen.

When this was heard in the ears of everyone, they felt particularly ridiculous.

Gu Yuanzhen said loudly: "He won't lie to you, right?" In fact, he never wrote a book at all. ”

Liu Ruyan looked taken for granted: "The teacher closed the pen at the age of 17, is there any problem?" ”

Gu Yuanzhen sat up straight: "Of course there is a problem!" The golden age of the average writer is 25 to 45 years old, and the peak age is generally 35 years old.

Because of this period, a person's three views can be regarded as fully mature, and it is the most creative period.

That's a good saying, the world has never been seen, where is the worldview? 17 years old, the age when I don't understand anything. How is it possible to write something that shocks? ”

Qin Yunchu and He Shiying also frowned.

As soon as Gu Yuanzhen explained this, they also began to find out that something was wrong.

Liu Ruyan shouldn't have been deceived, right?

Chen Ya said that Liu Ruyan was "not good at writing", but what about himself?

I don't know the pen name, I don't know the work, and I haven't seen anything written, but I just talk about it.

No matter how you look at this, it's all bragging!

Qin Yunchu asked: "Are there any writers who were active 10 years ago, and then suddenly closed their pen?" ”

Gu Yuanzhen said with disdain: "I have never heard of a writer suddenly closing his pen at the age of creation. ”

"Didn't you suddenly close your pen?"

"No," Gu Yuanzhen said, "Generally, because of poor health and poor creative ability, there is naturally no work, and I have never heard of a sudden closure of the pen in the prime of life." ”

He Shiying leaned towards Liu Ruyan, and now, she is already her idol, so she naturally began to worry about her idol:

"You can't be deceived, are you?"

Liu Ruyan still sat there in her original position, as if she had not had these doubts at all.

She opened her mouth and said slowly:

"Whenever I thought I had mastered writing, my teacher would give me a few pointers.

When I hear his advice, I feel like I don't know anything yet.

He was like a high mountain, and I stood at the foot of the mountain, and no matter how I looked, I couldn't see the top of the mountain. ”

Everyone looked at each other.

Liu Ruyan looked at her phone and suddenly said, "Oh, it's not good, the time is almost up." ”

"What's wrong?"

Liu Ruyan stood up: "I'm going to the kindergarten to pick up the child." ”

"Kid?"

Gu Yuanzhen's pupils dilated for a moment.

"Is it your child? Are you married? Qin Yunchu asked.

Liu Ruyan shook her head.

"It's the teacher's child. The teacher asked me to take care of him. ”
