Chapter 415: The air conditioner is a little sufficient
"What is the book 'Ordinary and Great'? Europa Writers' Awards Surprise ......"
The domestic Internet was also affected by this incident, and it was full of related news.
At this moment, Fancheng and Ye Linhan were also watching the news on the Internet in the house.
Previously, he and other readers had similar thoughts, thinking that after the release of "Shadow Empire" and "Kite",
The first, with some weight, will certainly be awarded to one of the two works, or both,
After he watched "Shadow Empire" yesterday, he thought even more.
As a result, under the expectation and expectation of the public, the judges of the Europa Writers Award gave this play?
Neither the readers of ABC nor the readers of dog authors are angry, even angry, about this.
If you don't choose a work that everyone expects, you have to choose a book that most readers have never heard of.
Ye Linhan is looking at these news now, a little angry, and a little happy, purely angry.
He was already preparing to make a new video about "Shadow Empire", which is not sarcastic at the end of the new video, and he is sorry for his love for "Shadow Empire" and "Kite".
For the time being, I shut down the news and reader comments on the Internet, although the words of the readers who were weird and yin and yang looked interesting and relieved.
The copywriter who opened the new video was writing, and Ye Linhan added another paragraph.
"...... Shadow Empire deserves any awards, it's another great ABC work after The Imperial Epic. "Shadow Empire", which has sold more than 6 million copies, does not actually need any awards to receive honors, but some small awards should be awarded to it to maintain its authority...... However, some of the awards do not seem to be considered small prizes, and they seem to be able to distort the reading tendencies and preferences of the general reader......"
Ye Linhan looked at the added copy, laughed, and looked at it again with satisfaction,
Then the copywriting was turned off for the time being.
In my spare time from making videos, I looked at the book friend group of dog authors.
The crowd on the Internet is outraged, and there must be a riot in the book friend group of the dog author.
"Canyon grass: haha...... I'm laughing to death, this award was given to this book that I had never heard of, and the ABC and the dog author might have looked at each other with a confused look when they heard the news.
Canyon Grass: Look, dog author, how about you speed up the update, the awards are gone.
Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea: Isn't it a little bad to say that the dog author is so bad, but I still agree with the second sentence. Dog author, keep you yesterday, 10,000 dog authors a day!
Zeng Canghai: It really laughed at me, I wanted to laugh when I thought of the dog's bewildered expression. ”
Seeing the message in the readership,
Ye Linhan was stunned for a moment, this is not the same as the movement on the Internet.
Well, it may be that it is still so harmonious in the book friend group, and when it comes out of the book friend group, it is estimated that it still smells of gunpowder.
"Little Black House: But it's really funny, this Europa Writers' Award is really courageous, admire.
Little Black House: He dares to do what the British Literary Award does not dare to do, and he dares to do what the Goncourt Literary Award does not dare to do.
Little Black House: I just admire the courage of these jurors. #吃瓜.
Canyon Grass: Well, that's good! To do a good job in a literary award, you need this spirit of daring to defy the world's condemnation! Even if everyone in the world is against it, I will give an award to that book whose name I have never heard of! ”
All right! The news in the book friend group is right.
Ye Linhan nodded with satisfaction.
That's it, all yin and yang weird.
Then Ye Linhan also happily added to it.
"I'm mortal: hey, you say, such a courageous award won't be a cosmic award.
Little Black House: No, people are a second-rate award in Europa, but people are so courageous. ”
With the readers in the readership group, people are much more comfortable.
After complaining, Ye Linhan was about to slip away, and saw that someone in the book friend group sent a message again.
"Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea: Happy, the readers on the side of the White Flag Country are also so fierce?
Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea: [Link]"
Ye Linhan saw it and went in with some interest to take a look.
It's a new piece of news that hasn't been released for a long time.
"Dissatisfied with the Europa Writers' Award for 'Ordinary and Great,' readers of ABC and dog authors protested en masse to the publisher that published 'Ordinary and Great.'"
Ye Linhan clicked in and took a look,
The news is that some readers in the capital of the White Flag Country went to the El Publishing House to block the door to protest against it.
Ye Linhan looked at it and thought it was quite interesting.
After browsing the news, look at the comments below.
“…… The Europa Writers Award is really useful, and in addition, the award is given to this work, and I am not afraid that this work will not be able to stand it! ”
"It's just roasting on the fire, if you want to say that this is the shady curtain of this publishing house, I don't believe it, after all, looking at the news from abroad, this El Publishing House is a small publishing house, and it is not capable of operating this matter at all."
"Isn't it this Europa Writers' Award, or Tou Tie doesn't want to choose one or the other or award both, so he draws lots for other candidates?"
"I think you're telling the truth."
"Friends, the latest news, this Al Publishing House is also very brave, and even directly sent the book "Ordinary and Great" to the readers who protested at the scene, so that the protesting readers can read it."
Looking at the last one, because the likes increased rapidly, it didn't take long to send the reader comments that came up,
Ye Linhan couldn't help but pause.
This Al Publishing House seems to be very confident.
I'm not afraid that the group of protesting readers will just turn a few pages and throw them directly into the trash can or on the ground.
After all, this group of readers is subjective, and preconceived notions are not so easy to reverse.
But this publishing house is still so iron-clad that it did it.
Ye Linhan couldn't help but be a little curious.
Exited the news again and returned to the book friend group, and the readers are still talking about it.
"Canyon Grass: Friends, I'm curious, what kind of book is this "Ordinary and Great"?
Little Black House: Honestly, I don't know.
Little Black House: It seems that it is mainly published in Europa, but in China, I don't seem to have found it, and I don't know if there is a Chinese version. ”
Looking at the news in the book friend group, Ye Linhan didn't reply,
Thinking about the reader reviews and news I just saw, I gradually became interested in this book "Ordinary and Great".
He was a little curious about what and how the work that won the awards of "Shadow Empire" and "Kite" was written.
Maybe it's the Europa Writers' Award that randomly found a work that backs the pot,
But the publisher of the book, Al Press, did not react quite right.
Why don't you buy a copy and come back and read it?
If you can't write it, make a complaining video.
If it's well written, make a video of the book being interpreted......
It seems that there is no relevant video on the domestic Internet that has rubbed this wave of popularity for the time being.
Then this heat, let me rub it!
Ye Linhan thought so, and became even more energetic, feeling that a popular video was beckoning to him.
As video material, he also had to buy a copy and come back and read it.
put aside the matter of continuing to do videos,
Ye Linhan's eyes lit up a little, and he first went to the shopping website and went around.
Let's see if there is a book for sale "Ordinary and Great".
However, after wandering around several shopping websites, I didn't see any of them selling this book.
Just like the readers in the book friend group, I basically can't find this book in China.
It seems that it has not been published in China?
Ye Linhan went to foreign shopping websites again, and this time he found it.
However, after Ye Linhan tried to place an order and bought a copy, he looked at the estimated delivery time and gave up directly.
As for the express delivery abroad, it is shipped from the white flag country and then shipped to China.
The daylilies are cold, not to mention anything else, this wave of heat may have passed,
What else do he do videos to gain popularity.
Thinking like this, Ye Linhan had a headache.
Finally, after looking around again, Ye Linhan finally contacted the last purchasing agent. You can buy this book directly from the White Flag Country and let him get it as soon as possible.
"Let me see how this book goes!"
After paying the book price and the high purchasing fee, Ye Linhan was a little painful,
Then he looked at the page where the mobile phone had just been successfully paid, and said through gritted teeth.
But no matter how fast it is now, it will take some time.
What Ye Linhan can do now is to wait!
……
Downstairs from the El Press.
There were a lot of people gathered on the side of the street, some readers who came to protest, some passers-by who passed by to see the excitement, and some who rushed to get the news, loyal readers of "Ordinary and Great".
It's just that at this moment, this place is very quiet.
Al and Penny stood aside, waiting for the protesting group of readers to read The Ordinary and the Great.
Loyal readers of "The Ordinary and the Great" watched the protesting readers.
And these dog authors or ABC readers who originally came to protest opened "Ordinary and Great" one after another, although with some subjective emotions, but they were still described by the author's brushstrokes.
Gradually let go of prejudices, put my mind on the story in the book, and began to immerse myself in the story.
Some people hurriedly turn a few pages, and then gradually slow down, or even turn back to read again.
Some people, when they first started reading, looked left and right, but gradually their eyes stayed on the page for longer and longer, and they didn't raise their heads again until a long time.
Some of them just took the book and never opened it, watching the other people next to them seem to be gradually immersed in the book, and some of them opened it one after another with curiosity.
Later, this group of readers began to simply read this book "Ordinary and Great".
There were also passers-by who were attracted by this scene, and some curious, took the initiative to buy "Ordinary and Great" from Al, and stood on the side of the road to read.
On the side of the road, together with the original protesting readers, there are more and more passers-by who are standing or sitting reading "The Ordinary and the Great".
And this quiet scene lasted for a long time,
Until some of the people who were standing simply looked at the book and sat directly on the ground.
The loyal readers of "The Ordinary and the Great" who rushed to the scene also smiled.
The rising sun overhead gradually rose to the sky, getting hotter and hotter.
Or Al spoke up again.
"Dear readers and friends, I believe you have your own feelings after reading this book. But now it's noon, and it's hot. I thought, maybe you can take your books home with you, or find a quieter and more comfortable place to continue reading? ”
At the sound of Al's words, the readers sitting on the ground came back to their senses one after another from the stories in the book,
Some people raise their heads, some people get up, some people look at each other without saying a word,
Still no one spoke, and no one had any opinion on Al's words.
will protest at the door of the publishing house for their favorite works, which are a group of very simple readers.
I was simply angry at the injustice I encountered when I liked my works,
And at this moment, when I really read this "Ordinary and Great", I found that this work was not as unbearable as they imagined, and even very good.
They will also simply get rid of their previous prejudices.
Of course, most of the readers who come here to protest are loyal readers of ABC and the dog author.
Even now, they don't think that "Ordinary and Great" is better than "Shadow Empire" or "Kite".
However, it is like ABC and the dog author who either wins an award, and the other party is not satisfied with it, and will argue with the readers on the other side on the Internet, but will not go to the offline publishing house to protest.
Because this is not shady, at most it can be said that the reading preferences of those judges are biased.
"Well, it's a pretty good work."
Finally, a reader spoke up.
"It's a great piece of work, and he deserves any award."
Al spoke up again.
Readers didn't refute it.
And the reader who spoke out loud before walked up to Al,
One hand holds "Ordinary and Great" in his hand, and the other hand reaches out and touches his pocket.
"How much, I'm willing to spend money on this work."
"20 euros."
Al had a smile on his face, and didn't refuse.
"Hmmm......"
Handed Al the money to buy the book, and the reader took "The Ordinary and the Great" and left.
Someone took the lead, and this group of simple readers did not choose to take this work for nothing.
They stepped forward one after another to pay for the books, and then left one after another.
He didn't continue to protest in front of the El Publishing House, and just scattered.
In the end, passers-by, as well as loyal readers of "The Ordinary and the Great", also left.
Al looked at the side of the street that had been vacated again, and a smile appeared on his face,
"Look, Penny, I'll just say that 'The Ordinary and the Great' can conquer any reader."
"Yes."
Al turned his head again and walked over to the media members who hadn't left yet.
“…… A few media friends, have you all seen that scene just now? I hope you can report truthfully, this is a little gift for you. ”
The small gift that Al gave was "Ordinary and Great".
Several media took it, with more or less excitement on their faces,
"Of course, this scene is really worth reporting and newsworthy!"
"Readers will know that it wasn't the Europa Writers' Award jury who made the wrong decision, they just preferred another equally good book!"
One of the media outlets excitedly said that he believed that many people would enjoy the news report.
Picking up the book, these media also left in a hurry.
Then, on the Internet, public opinion began to undergo some subtle changes.
……
"Al, do you think it's time for us to tell the editors who can still come to work to come back to the publishing house?"
"Of course, I think we have a lot of things to do. However, double wages remain unchanged. ”
Al walked back to Penny, who asked with a smile, and Al replied with a smile.
The two went upstairs again and continued to get busy.
Foreseeably,
The day when the sales of "Ordinary and Great" will completely explode are coming,
Until then, El Press will have to be ready.
“…… I'll tell Mr. I the good news later, and he'll be happy...... Ha! Even readers of ABC and the dog author can't completely reject Mr. I's work. ”
"I think it would be a nice surprise for Mr. I to see it on the news. Or, tomorrow, when today's sales are counted, tell Mr. I. Of course, I think Mr. I was confident enough in his work, and he must have expected this scene a long time ago. ”
"Yes. Okay, let's tell Mr. I tomorrow. ”
In the office, Al and Penny are talking.
……
"Ah Qiu......"
Ji Zhuo, who had just finished today's "Kite" update, sneezed in the study,
He suspected that the air conditioner was turned on too much.
