Eyre Press,

After receiving Mr. I's compliment, Al had a smile on his face and was more and more excited.

“…… Penny, we need to increase publicity, although we can't compare with the resources of those big publishing houses, we must also let Mr. I's works play a faster role in word-of-mouth. ”

"Of course."

Penny smiled as well.

Al turned his head back and looked at the news and discussions on the Internet displayed on the computer screen.

"Although there are still many readers who have doubts about "Ordinary and Great", now is a great opportunity, and I believe that any reader will agree with the excellence and greatness of this work after opening "Ordinary and Great"."

"Contact the printing house and ask them to print as soon as possible. We can't hold Mr. I back. We can pay a little more, but we can't miss this opportunity! There have to be enough books to reach readers! ”

Penny nodded again, and got up to get busy.

Al looked at the discussions and news on the computer screen again,

I also got up again and was busy excitedly.

After waiting for so long, Mr. I's work "Ordinary and Great" will bloom into its own, and the time for that dazzling light is finally coming.

It's like the rising sun gradually rising, breaking through any clouds that stand in its way!

……

And this side.

Magic City, in the house.

After chatting with Al, Ji Zhuo's whole body was numb.

Throwing his phone on the edge of the sink and rinsing his mouth with a toothbrush.

But at this time,

The other two editors, Editor-in-Chief Carol and Editor-in-Chief Lou, also sent messages one after another.

"Carol: Mr. A, yesterday "Shadow Empire" sold about 800,000 copies, compared to the previous day, there was basically not much drop in single-day sales.

Carol: The problem of insufficient offline stock has been alleviated to a certain extent, and about half of it was sold directly from offline channels yesterday. ”

Ji Zhuo glanced at the mobile phone that lit up from time to time,

Carroll's message should technically be good news, from any point of view.

But Ji Zhuo, who had just finished chatting with the editor-in-chief of Al, was a little excited.

Then there is the message from Editor-in-Chief Lou.

"Editor-in-Chief Lou: Mr. Ji, the overseas version of "Star Dream" has been released today.

Editor-in-Chief Lou: The online pre-sale sales have exceeded 3 million copies! At present, the information obtained from various offline channels is also very enthusiastic among readers. ”

Well?

Ji Zhuo paused,

I was full of thoughts about the recent events of "Ordinary and Great",

I have forgotten a little about the release time of the overseas version of "Dream of the Stars".

Thinking about it in my mind, isn't the overseas version of "Star Dream" on sale today?

Ji Zhuo, whose toothbrush was still in his mouth, was a little reinvigorated.

Although judging from the current public opinion, discussion and heat on the Internet, the situation has been a little worse.

But the release of the overseas version of "Star Dream" can muddy the waters again?

At least divert readers' attention from the fact that "Ordinary and Great" won the award,

Back to the competition between the overseas version of "Dream of the Stars" and ABC works?

Ji Zhuo held on to a small and faint hope,

Looking at the mobile phone screen again, the mobile phone screen that lit up again displayed the message that Editor-in-Chief Lou sent next.

Editor-in-Chief Lou: The publishing house has also prepared enough goods in advance, hoping to satisfy the enthusiasm of readers as much as possible.

Editor-in-Chief Lou: Although there have been some other buzz on the Internet recently, I think that under the wave of overseas release of your new work, Mr. Ji, all other impacts are just small things.

Editor-in-Chief Lou: I can't shake the overseas sales of your works, Mr. Ji.

Clumsy and Extraordinary: Hmm...... Editor-in-Chief Lou is talking about "Ordinary and Great"?

Editor-in-Chief Lou: Well, Mr. Ji noticed?

Editor-in-Chief Lou: This small publishing house in the White Flag Country can't confront Delvin Press head-on, and the work they published can't compare to your work Mr. Ji.

Editor-in-Chief Lou: I used some shameless means to confuse some readers who don't know the truth, trying to seize the popularity of Mr. Ji's work.

Editor-in-Chief Lou: But don't worry, Delvin Publishing and ...... Well...... It's not vegetarian either!

Editor-in-Chief Lou: We will never let the overseas sales of your works be badly affected! ”

It's really one thing in the mouths of two people, it's just two looks.

Editor-in-chief Al said that this is the attraction of "Ordinary and Great" to those readers.

In the mouth of Editor-in-Chief Lou, this is shameless.

In addition, in the last sentence of Editor-in-Chief Lou, Ji Zhuo basically has no opinion.

Because even the popularity of "Ordinary and Great" and the works of the other two vests are three-legged.

It won't have much of an impact on the sales of ABC or 'Dog Authors'.

Again, it is impossible for a reader to just read a work.

When three good books appear, most readers probably choose to buy three, rather than necessarily choosing one of them.

The previous suppression of 'I' by 'ABC' and 'Dog Authors' was basically a squeeze on the heat.

Let 'I's work go unnoticed at all under such a hot wave.

Even if "The Ordinary and the Great" is gaining traction now, it is impossible for readers not to notice the new books of "ABC" and "Dog Author".

But what Ji Zhuo cares about is that the sales of the overseas version of "Star Dream" will not be affected?

What he cares about is that the sales of "Ordinary and Great" have not been affected.

……

Ji Zhuo hasn't replied to the news yet, and there is no new news from Editor-in-Chief Lou for the time being.

But the editor-in-chief Carol sent another message,

The content of the message is basically the same as what Editor-in-Chief Lou said.

"Carol: Also, Mr. A, have you been paying attention to the news?

Carol: The damn publisher of "The Ordinary and the Great" is trying to rub the heat of your work in a disgusting way, Mr. A.

Carol: But rest assured, Mr. A, Bert Publishing will not let this affect the sales of your book Shadow Empire.

Carol: Even if the Ordinary and the Great is good, it can't compare to Shadow Empire, at best it's about the same as your friend's work.

Clumsy and Extraordinary: ......"

Ay......

Ji Zhuo sighed,

sent a message back to Editor-in-Chief Carol and Editor-in-Chief Lou in turn, and then didn't reply.

Tired, that's all, destroy.

"Gollum ......"

After rinsing his mouth, Ji Zhuo turned around and walked into the study.

Code word bar.

……

"The overseas version of "Dream of the Stars" is officially on sale, and the pre-sales have exceeded three million copies before."

"Delvin Publishing House claims that this stock is sufficient to cope with the enthusiasm of readers, please feel free to buy it!"

Although there have been a lot of movements on the Internet recently,

But the release of the overseas version of "Star Dream" is still eye-catching.

Now the popularity of the overseas network is probably that ABC's duel with the dog author has attracted the attention of most people.

Secondly, it is I's "Ordinary and Great", which firmly occupies a small area of popularity and is still gradually expanding its influence.

Under the relevant news, there are also all comments.

“…… Cool, I've been waiting for a long time, and I've finally waited for the release of "Star Dream" in different languages. ”

"I'm guilty, I've seen the pirated translation of "Dream of the Stars" before, so I decided to buy two copies this time and give the other one to my friend!"

"Friends, what day is it? I just discovered the good work of "Ordinary and Great", and then I saw the overseas version of "Star Dream" on sale! ”

"I'm already in line in front of the bookstore! I'm going to be the first to get it! ”

"Haha, I'm afraid not, I've already got it and bought it!"

"Please don't mention 'Ordinary and Great' here, that shameless, stealing the work that originally belonged to the ABC awards."

"Why did you snatch the award that originally belonged to ABC, how could it be the award that originally belonged to the 'dog author', do you think it was ABC that should have won the award?"

"Friends, I am a reader of ABC's works, I have read all of ABC's works, I am also a reader of 'Dog Authors', I have read all the works of 'Dog Authors' published overseas.

I've also read The Ordinary and the Great, and I want to seriously say that The Ordinary and the Great is really a very good work, no worse than the works of ABC and dog authors. ”

On the web,

The readers of the three parties are simply together and in chaos.

Even if I has the smallest number of readers, its combat effectiveness is not weak at all, and fierce arguments are indispensable.

At this moment, Xi Yuan's roommate, who was queuing up to buy the English version of "Star Dream" in the bookstore, looked at the bad evaluation of I's work "Ordinary and Great" on the Internet.

I wrote this comment very carefully and sent it out.

However, his 'heretical' comments were just sent out and were quickly drowned out.

“…… Xi Yuan, what do you say they have to quarrel about? Aren't they all good works? Do you have to distinguish between the best and the best? The dog author and ABC are still friends. ”

The roommate looked at the phone screen and said with some distress.

Xi Yuan smiled and looked at his phone.

"The dog author and ABC have to compete against each other. Although they are all good works, there must be works that different people like better, isn't it, just like you, there must also be a favorite work. ”

"Hmm...... I like "Dream of the Stars" the most right now"

"Before that."

"I liked Shadow Empire the most"

"Then you like the new and hate the old."

Xi Yuan smiled and talked to his roommate.

At this time, the roommates who finally lined up arrived at the bookshelf,

Then he hurriedly walked two more steps towards the bookshelf and grabbed an English version of "Star Dream".

"Great! Finally got it! I'm going to go back and read ...... now."

……

"Hello, Courier!"

Bustling city.

Ye Linhan slumped on the sofa in the room, holding his mobile phone,

He was waiting for the courier who had called him a few minutes earlier to come to the door.

Hearing a knock on the door, Ye Linhan suddenly made a noise and opened the door of the living room.

The door opened, and Ye Linhan's eyes naturally fell on the package handed over by the courier, and his eyes were hot.

"Please sign for it."

"Good...... Good ......"

Quickly signed for the courier, and the living room door was closed again.

Ye Linhan, who was holding the express box, sat back on the sofa,

Looking at the package that had not yet been opened, there was some strong expectation in his eyes.

This is a book that he paid a lot of money to buy back from abroad.

Whether the book is well written or poorly written, he is looking forward to it,

In a few clicks, the express box was torn,

I held the English version of this book "Ordinary and Great" in my hand.

"Just let me see, what about this book that won the ABC and Dog Author awards?"

With a sense of sacred mission,

Ye Linhan sat on the sofa and opened the book.

The first is the introduction on the title page.

Looking at the somewhat interesting introduction, Ye Linhan was a little more interested,

He shifted on the couch and opened the text.

The English version of "The Ordinary and the Great",

At first, Ye Linhan struggled to read.

But fortunately, this writer rarely uses any obscure words in the text,

Always use some relatively commonly used words to form a sentence that is just right, and describes the progress of the story very appropriately and fluently.

This is the embodiment of the writer's writing.

Well...... This feeling and this style seem familiar?

This thought flashed in Ye Linhan's mind, and he was forgotten again.

Gradually, the plot develops downward,

The miscellaneous thoughts in Ye Linhan's mind have also been emptied,

Judge if this book is good or bad? Is there any right to snatch that award from ABC and the dog author?

Ye Linhan, who was reading this work, couldn't take care of these things,

I just want to continue reading page by page and watch the plot develop,

I gradually immersed myself in the world and story depicted in the book.

It's just that as the plot changes, the emotions also rise and fall with the plot.

The sun outside the window,

From noon, gradually westward,

In the quiet living room, only the sound of the pages of a book turning is left.

Ye Linhan from the beginning of the ordinary chapter,

I have been seeing the end of the ordinary chapter.

From the death of Little Hoth's father Medioc, to the fact that Little Hoth was saddled with a debt that he could not repay in his lifetime.

to Little Hoth's secretly erecting a monument to his father Medioc, to Little Hoth's encounter with Aunt Valina in the farmland.

The dependence on Miriah and the day-to-day work in the fields, and finally the bard's words, exemplify another kind of cruelty.

……

"Gollum ......"

Obviously, it's a good piece.

And to withdraw from the reading of such a good work can only be because of the rebellion of hunger.

The stomach screamed twice,

Ye Linhan finally came back to his senses from the story in the book,

By this time, he had read the entire ordinary chapter.

Reluctantly withdrew his gaze from the book, raised his head, and his eyes were still a little dazed.

It's like still immersed in the world described in the book,

The world that is extremely depressed.

After a trance, I finally screamed twice more when I was hungry,

Ye Linhan came back to his senses,

"Hoo ......"

He let out a long breath and looked at the already dark sky outside the house,

lowered his head again and looked at the spread out book of "Ordinary and Great" in his hand.

All previous questions seem to have been answered.

Even though it is possible that the judges of the Europa Writers' Prize chose the third book because it was difficult to choose between ABC and dog authors,

This book won't be randomized.

Needless to say, this is a good book, no worse than a new book by ABC or a dog author.

He is worthy of any award.

But

Ye Linhan's mind is no longer on these issues.

And more in the content described in the book.

The ordinary chapter, which begins with the death of Little Hoth's father, Medioc,

It ends with Hoss's decision to transcend the ordinary.

However, many of the questions left in the ordinary chapter are not answered in the ordinary chapter.

Aunt Valina's child, Walker's death,

The difference between the church's punishment of Medioc or Hoth and the bard's statute of the church......

The Ordinary Chapter tells an ordinary and depressing story.

Isn't that great chapter supposed to be the story of a great man?

Ye Linhan raised his head,

In order to appease his hungry stomach, I ordered a takeout first.

Then in the process of waiting for takeout, my eyes couldn't help but gradually move down,

finally fell on the "Ordinary and Great" spread out in his hand.

"Then go ahead and look at ......."

Something was about to move, Ye Linhan continued to read,

Turning the page of the content of the great chapter, gradually,

And the room was quiet again,

From the beginning of the great chapter, little Gerritt gave his father Hoss's advice with what he had learned in school.

Gradually to the many problems of Little Gretel,

Changes in Valina's family.

Little Gerritt's tuition issues, and then Miri's death.

During this time, Little Gerrit clarified some questions, but also more questions.

Immersed in the story, Ye Linhan continued to read.

The plot in the article also continues to progress.

“…… Little Glitter seemed to understand something, but had more questions. ”

His previous inquiries to the doctor were the doubts in his mind. The doctor only treats those who pay the fee, but says that the devout can be treated, is there money for the pious, or is there money for the pious?

In addition, what is wrong with the devout who have been healed but still die because of their ungodliness? ”

"The first question, it seems, can be answered in his father Hoss......"
