Chapter 172 Famous in the literary world
Now every time "Youth Pi" adds a paid reader, that's a brand new step!
No one knows where this record will stay, whether it will be a hundred thousand or two hundred thousand?
It is precisely because of so many people reading, discussing, and sharing with their friends, classmates, and colleagues that the brilliant achievements of Pi have been achieved.
Not to mention the rest, Zhang Chu suddenly realized that he seemed to have earned 300,000 yuan this day, he only needed to pay taxes and not to share the money for others!
It was only more than a day after that, and the various interpretations and analysis posts in the novel comment section emerged like mushrooms after a rain. The readers below either agree or object, and the posts were refreshed very quickly.
Almost every reader who has read the novel will come to the comment section to see if anyone has the same idea as him.
This kind of fun of reversal, this sudden realization of the previous text after reading the following text, and the traditional writing style of ink paintings that leave blank spaces, make readers enjoy it.
The novel actually tells the story of events from a very objective perspective. There can be any possibility that Zhang Chu did not magnify or ignore at one point.
Readers’ understanding is actually very subjective, and their views and understanding of this novel actually come from themselves.
Some readers said they were crying when they read it, while others said they were indifferent and could not feel anything. These were related to their own personality and knowledge.
The question facing Zhang Chu now is whether such successful commercialization of the Young Pi will become a shortcoming in the eyes of the judges.
Some people may ask why it sells well, but it will be a disadvantage if you see it more people.
In fact, the reason is very simple. In order to show their taste, some people among the judges feel that they will change their taste after being linked to money!
In the eyes of many people, the word "literati" can only be associated with poverty forever, as if this can better demonstrate its character.
"Youth Pi" is neither a work with mainstream values, aesthetic standards, nor a work with critical colors. It has disadvantages in such literary awards.
...
If the 60,000 paid readers are converted into e-book sales, it is actually not too much.
When many top writers release new books, it is common for e-book sales to exceed 100,000 on the first day, and Zhang Chu still has a way to go before the top.
However, because this location is a bit special, many people in the literary world have known this young man who created miracles in the essay contest.
The Chinese Writers Network has an extraordinary status. Even if its traffic is not high, since it is the face of the Writers Association, no one in the Chinese literary world dares to underestimate its existence!
"Have you heard that this year's good Chinese literature essay competition was masterpiece?" Qian Linghao broke the silence in the group. He had just heard gossip news from other friends, so he quickly came here to share it.
The QQ group "Liaozhu in the Forest" that looks a little elegant is not simple. More than 40 people in it are almost all famous figures in the Chinese literary world. Without more than three people, they cannot be added.
Soon another female writer Wan Juan replied: "I heard that, but I just don't have time to check it out. It is said that he broke Xiao Mo's horror record two years ago. I don't know if it was a swipe."
"It shouldn't be a fan. My master is a judge of this essay competition, but he is from the theater team. According to him, their old guys gathered together to stay up late to watch "Youth Pi", and even called Zhang Chu to ask about the ending in the middle of the night." Qi Gaoxuan appeared and denied their thoughts and revealed some inside information.
Of course Qian Linghao knew how deserted the writers’ website was. Almost none of them came out through essay contests, so they were inevitably looked down on essay contests.
"Doesn't this mean that this book has won a prize? Who of you has read this book?" he typed in surprise.
Feng Ning posted a screenshot and found that he was staying in the comment section of "Boyant Pi". The writer in his forties was even plagued by a vest and posted a plot analysis post.
His post analyzes the symbolic meaning of several animals in the novel, and many readers are already admiring it later.
"This book is indeed interesting, I recommend everyone to read it." Feng Ning was very direct. At first, he was just curious about what kind of book could be read by so many people, but he ended up falling into the trap.
The rest of the people saw that they were discussing hotly, so they also bubbling. However, some people were not sensitive to the news and couldn't understand what was going on now.
Bu Wenyuan, who has been traveling outside, asked: "Which book are you discussing? I haven't been online for a few days, why do I feel that I can't keep up with the trend of the times?"
"We are talking about a work in this year's Good Literature Essay Competition. The number of paid users has exceeded the highest record in history. The key is that it is only more than a day now."
"Who wrote it? It's so amazing. Could it be that anyone is idle and has nothing to do. Go to that competition, and there is no bonus."
Feng Ning shook his head, "Brother Bu, you probably got it wrong. The person who wrote this book is Zhang Chu, the young man who went to the United States to sue. He not only knows how to write fan novels, but also writes this type of work."
"Is it really that good? It takes more than ten hours to come back by plane. Why not read this novel?"
Another active group member also participated in the discussion, "I only read about 50%. I think the quality is not very good. It's just that the discussion of religion and science is interesting. This kid seems to be less than twenty years old, so how can he write Indian culture so realistically!"
"Zhang Chu? Isn't this the top scorer in the college entrance examination in Jiangdong Province?" Bu Wenyuan said in surprise, "It seems that you have to take a look. Maybe this kid will be the backbone of our province's literature and art in the future."
Usually, writers just talk about family matters and comment on current affairs. At the same time, some dirty jokes appear, which are quite down-to-earth.
If a writer is arrogant and becomes an exiled immortal, he is not as good as a worldly firework, then what he writes will probably be very empty.
Writers need life, and even need a more colorful life as materials and accumulate!
Not only this group of people are talking about Zhang Chu and his works, but the entire Chinese literary world seems to be talking about the young man who suddenly emerged, and the ending of the book "The Fantasy Drifting of the Young Pi".
Although everyone knew about this person before, they did not regard him as a part of the literary world, but were a wandering person.
Even though he had written two books, traditional literature did not include Zhang Chu among young writers, and his treatment was slightly better than that of online writers.
