Chapter 421: Word of Mouth Reverses

"Cool, Xi Yuan, "Star Dream" is so well written!"

"I have to warn you...... You've heard about "Dream of the Stars" before."

"Hmmm......"

Great Britain, it's already nightfall.

In the dormitory, the lights are still on.

Xi Yuan's roommate held the English version of "Star Dream" that he bought back during the day,

watched with relish, read a paragraph from time to time, was silent for a while, and then shouted a little excitedly.

It's like watching "Dream of the Stars" for the first time.

This had to make Xi Yuan, who had translated and read "Star Dream" for his roommate before, deeply doubt his translation level.

The roommate listened to Xi Yuan's words, was silent, then turned his head, and continued to watch "Star Dream" silently.

Immediately after, he gradually forgot about the previous events and read them with relish.

“…… Xi Yuan, that old man is really admirable, is Xiaohong the witness of the old man's life? ”

The roommate looked at it for a while, and then spoke again,

"No, Xiaohong is the old man's star, star...... It turned out to be this star. ”

The roommate suddenly realized again, and then hummed the song that often appeared in the first chapter of "Star Dream" with some excitement,

"Dongfang Hong...... The sun rises ......"

Next to him, Xi Yuan listened to the British roommate sing this familiar song with a broken accent,

It's really a little unbearable,

“…… Where did you learn this song? ”

"On the Internet, there are people who are keen to collect all the songs that appear in the works of dog authors, and there are people who teach people to sing them."

"The previous one, 'Forward, forward, our team to the sun'"

"And that one, 'A great river, wide waves......'"

Listening to my roommate singing these songs lamely with some pride,

Xi Yuan was silent, didn't ask again, turned his head, and continued to play with his phone silently.

"Xi Yuan, what do you think I sing?"

The roommate was interested, humming fragments of these songs repeatedly, and confidently asked Xi Yuan for his evaluation of it.

"It's good."

"Haha."

The roommate was a little happier, and then turned his head and continued to look at "Star Dream".

Immediately after, immersed in the story again.

He had listened to Xi Yuan translate "Star Dream" before, but at this moment, it seems,

I found that there were still a lot of details missing, and I looked at many places by myself, and I suddenly realized.

Read on such a chapter of "Star Dream",

Completely immersed in the world of the book, the emotions of the roommates only rise and fall with the plot,

From time to time, two words subconsciously came out of his mouth,

Or a little depressed, or a little uncomfortable.

"Hey...... Damn, it's so uncomfortable...... The old man in the second chapter always reminds me of my grandfather. ”

"How can this be."

My eyes were a little red.

"Stars...... Stars in a jar, my God, damn the author, you kill me, don't cut my heart with such a knife. ”

“…… The little girl's mother also took out a bottle of stars from under the bed, my God, my God...... Woohoo......"

"Star Dream" saw the back,

The roommate's eyes have been completely red, and the chapter of the star in the jar has completely penetrated the psychological defense.

Xi Yuan next to him looked at some messages on the Internet on his mobile phone,

Glancing from time to time, next to the roommate who is immersed in the story of "Dream of the Stars".

Looking at his roommate, it seems a little uncomfortable, and the big body can't wait to shrink in the open "Star Dream".

Covering his face with the opened "Star Dream", burying his head, the whole body trembled,

Probably crying.

didn't bother, Xi Yuan paused, then turned his head again, looking at the news he was watching on his phone.

On the web,

Even though it's night, it's still lively.

……

"On the first day of the release of the language version of "Dream of the Stars", it is reported that the online sales alone have exceeded 4 million."

"Can the stars of "Star Dream" be such stars? Readers collectively broke the defense. ”

"The stars shine for you tonight! A torrent of sorrow has swept the whole world! ”

These reports are all about the overseas release of "Star Dream".

There are many comments left by overseas readers who saw "Star Dream" for the first time,

"How can there be such sad stories and words, no, the author just told such a story in very calm words, but it already made me feel the sadness that penetrated my body and mind."

"I read this work under the night sky, and I looked up for my star."

"Although this is not a fairy tale type work, I think it is still more like a fairy tale than other themes, stars, star dreams, what a beautiful name, I hope that the stars that belong to me will one day return to me."

"Yes, friend. Be the little girl Yuxi in the third chapter, believe in the miracle of the stars, it's okay, even if the stars haven't come back for a while. Friend, close your eyes, the stars have always been by your side, but you can no longer hear his voice or see his figure. ”

"Everyone, do the stars really work? My mother left the other day. ”

"Useful! Even though I'm almost forty years old now, I still want to believe it. ”

"I love this work, the story of every chapter of "Dream of the Stars" touches my heart."

"Friends, it's a little weak to say, I read this work and cried."

"Me too, friend, when Xiaohong hummed that song again, when the old man in the second chapter squatted on the ground at night and cried like a child, when in the third chapter, Yuxi's mother also took out a jar full of stars from under the bed, when Yuxi's parents left, Yuxi was doing what her parents had done before in the kitchen, washing vegetables, stir-frying, and sitting back in the kitchen to look at it obsessively, and when the last chapter, when the stars were shining on the flag, I was also moved.

All of this made my eyes red, and even made me cry uncontrollably. ”

Obviously, the overseas language versions of "Dream of Stars" have not encountered the slightest adaptation.

Just because of the work of the dog author, the readers who did not consider anything else and bought it directly were not disappointed at all.

But

Even the popularity of "Star Dream" is already like this.

But the popularity of "Ordinary and Great" still failed to suppress it.

When the Internet is full of comments and discussions from readers of "Star Dream",

There are still the voices of the readers of "The Ordinary and the Great".

……

"Ding-dong...... Dingdong ......"

"Tweet ......"

Birds chirp outside the window, and the cell phone rings on the bedside table in the bedroom.

Everything urged Ji Zhuo, who had slept until almost noon, to get up,

But listening to the sound of messages that haven't stopped much,

Ji Zhuo really didn't want to get up.

As far as I saw yesterday, Ji Zhuo could already predict it,

There won't be any good news at this point.

Turning over, Ji Zhuo pulled up the quilt and covered his head.

"Knock ......"

But the sound of the message prompted, stubbornly through the cover of the quilt,

I tossed and turned in bed again for a while, and finally I lost my sleepiness completely.

Ji Zhuo sighed and got up from the bed,

"Hey......"

sighed and touched the phone next to him that had finally stopped the message prompt.

On your phone,

There are several contacts, messages sent one after another.

First of all

Editor-in-Chief Lou of Delwin Publishing.

"Editor-in-Chief Lou: Mr. Ji, congratulations to you.

Editor-in-Chief Lou: The overseas version of "Star Dream" was released very well on the first day yesterday, and the sales on the first day met expectations.

Editor-in-Chief Lou: With the more than 3 million copies pre-sold before, the sales volume sold in various offline channels on the first day yesterday, the total sales of all language versions yesterday just exceeded 5 million copies!

Editor-in-Chief Lou: Judging from the enthusiasm and evaluation of readers on the Internet, in the next period of time, the sales of overseas language versions of "Star Dream" will also be good.

Editor-in-Chief Lou: Perhaps, Mr. Ji, you and your friend ABC will not need to publish a new book, just the overseas version of "Dream of Stars" can end this showdown. ”

The message sent by Editor-in-Chief Lou was somewhat excited and excited,

Through the screen, it seems that you can see the smile on the face of Editor-in-Chief Lou.

This should be good news for Ji Zhuo.

For him, it is natural that the higher the sales of the overseas version of "Star Dream", the better.

Whether it is the royalty sharing brought by high sales, or the squeeze on the popularity of "Ordinary and Great".

However, Ji Zhuo was happy about this good news.

Because there are still a few contacts who have not finished reading the news.

"Clumsy and extraordinary: rejoicing together."

typed these words weakly and replied to Editor-in-Chief Lou with a message in the past,

Ji Zhuo looked at the message from another contact.

"Carol: Mr. A, the single-day sales of "Shadow Empire" yesterday were still good, maintaining a relatively stable trend.

Carol: I believe it won't be long before your book Shadow Empire will reach a total of 10 million copies.

Carol: And no other work can influence or stop this process!

Carol: In addition, due to the release and popularity of your new book "Shadow Empire", Mr. A, the sales of your previous two works have also been growing rapidly recently. ”

Strictly speaking,

The message from Carol is also good news.

The rise in popularity of "Ordinary and Great" has not had any impact on the sales of "Shadow Empire".

Single-day sales are also stable.

However, Ji Zhuo still has reservations about this good news.

Because, looking down at the contact, there is a message from a contact,

Naturally, Al.

"Mr. al:I, yesterday the sales of "Ordinary and Great" increased dramatically in a single day, and more and more readers recognized the excellence of your work!

AL: After reading it, I have chosen to recommend your work to other readers, and the doubts and hesitations of previous readers are constantly dispelled, and the brilliance of your work is gradually blooming!

al: Mr. I, yesterday's single-day sales of "Ordinary and Great" were 110,000 copies! ”

Looking at Al's excited appearance, Ji Zhuo couldn't get excited.

Indeed, the growth in popularity of "Ordinary and Great" has basically no impact on the sales of works under the name of dog authors or ABC.

But the reverse is also true, the works under the name of the dog author and ABC have not been able to affect the growth of the popularity of "Ordinary and Great" at this time.

really

Just as Ji Zhuo expected,

After "The Ordinary and the Great" snatched the ABC and Dog Author awards,

The popularity of "Ordinary and Great" is even more popular, and the readership base has gradually become huge, but now it is even more unbearable.

And what happened at the door of Al Press, although the news heat was suppressed by Delvin Press and Bert Press.

But if this can happen at the door of El Press, it can also be published elsewhere.

That can only be regarded as a sign of the reversal of the reputation of "Ordinary and Great".

Curiosity, Buying, Reading,

After reading it, I also joined the camp of pushing books,

Then the readership base of "Ordinary and Great" is getting bigger and bigger, a vicious circle.

Ay......

Ji Zhuo looked at the message sent by Al, and did the math, after spending the first month after the release,

Sales these days, huh...... Only a few days into the second month, the sales of the second month are 'finished' ahead of schedule.

He just wanted to 'win once',

Why is it so hard...... Maybe it's a bit vindictive.

"Clumsy and Extraordinary: Thank You......"

In addition to thanks, Ji Zhuo really has nothing to say.

Sent a note back to Al,

Ji Zhuo touched his mobile phone again and looked at the movements on the Internet at home and abroad.

And then

Sure enough,

With the efforts of a group of readers, the reputation of "Ordinary and Great" has begun to reverse.

"Is 'The Ordinary and the Great' really not eligible for the Europa Writers' Award?"

"Ordinary and Great, a dark horse, a work that deserves any awards!"

"ABC Challenger with Dog Author Appears, Facing the Highest Wave, I Will Win Over All Opponents!"

Mixed with a lot of news about the overseas release of "Star Dream", and "Shadow Empire" news,

can still see a lot of news about "Ordinary and Great",

The headlines are either relatively restrained, or already exaggerated,

Click in to see, the comments of the readers below have basically begun to change the style of painting.

“…… I've already watched "The Ordinary and the Great", well, maybe he's not bad, but it's about the same quality as the dog author's work, is there a work that beats ABC's? - The Kakis. ”

"What do you mean? What does it mean to be about the same quality as a dog author? At most, it's about the same quality as ABC...... But I also want to ask, will this take away the prize that belongs to the dog author - the stars are my dream. ”

"But the truth is, Ordinary and Great wins! Ha, it's useless for you to say anything! It wins! - My little Hoth. ”

It seems that the readers of the three parties are arguing, but some things have basically reached a consensus,

The quality of "Ordinary and Great" is gradually recognized.

"Friends, let's not talk about this for now, is "Ordinary and Great" really good? Is it really worth reading, I just finished reading "Dream of the Stars" and "Shadow Empire", chasing the update of the dog author. ”

"Of course, it's a great work, just like 'Imperial Epic' and 'Shadow Empire' are to ABC."

"Are you all serious? Two days ago, you were still mocking the inadequacy of "Ordinary and Great". ”

"Friends! I recommend you to read "The Ordinary and the Great", this is an excellent work that is no worse than the dog author and the ABC work, and this is the first work of I, so don't buy it at this time! What if the sales are not high enough and I don't release new books! ”

"Makes sense, I'll buy another copy!"

Ji Zhuo gave the penultimate comment a vicious step.

Isn't this an encouragement to buy a reader to buy two more?

At first glance, it is a trust!

Ji Zhuo said viciously.

and then a little discouraged, seeing the word-of-mouth of "Ordinary and Great" spreading on the Internet,

It's just exhausting.

Now, it may be that the situation on the domestic network is slightly better.

Mainly because of the limited channel coverage of the small publishing house of Aier Publishing House,

There are basically no channels in the country,

Even if domestic readers are curious, it is very troublesome to buy "Ordinary and Great".

Thinking so,

Ji Zhuo barely had some psychological comfort.

Although this psychological comfort is actually not very useful.

Ay......

Ji Zhuo picked up his mobile phone and looked at the news on the domestic network.

While getting up, go to the sink to wash up.

“…… I was so angry that someone even said that "The Ordinary and the Great" is a good book, and I can't accept it! ”

"Well, it's possible that 'The Ordinary and the Great' is a really good book, and I have a friend...... Well, it's me...... I quietly found a little pirated content to read, although not all of it...... But it seems to be pretty good? ”

"The overseas sales of "Dream of the Stars" seem to be good, by the way, hasn't the Europa Writers' Award been moved yet, just pretending to be dead?"

"I'm really a little interested in the book "Ordinary and Great", has anyone really read it?"
