Chapter 10 One Night Famous

On the national highway from Xingshan to Bincheng, the capital of Songjiang Province, Chen Zhisheng was driving in an old-fashioned jeep, and Jiang Xiancheng sat in the co-pilot position. Because there were not many cars on the road, the two talked casually.

"Auncle, isn't this a big risk?" Chen Zhisheng said worriedly, "100,000 copies, if it can't be sold, the loss in the community will be too great!"

The laws of this world are strict, and piracy is a felony, so the sales of books are about three to five times that of the previous life. But even so, nearly 400,000 kinds of books are published a year, with an average sales volume of only 15,000 copies. That is to say, except for those best-selling books, most of the books published are sold for 18,000 copies, and there are also hundreds of books. Therefore, Zhang Duo's book was first printed with 100,000 copies, which is definitely the treatment of first-class writers.

Jiang Xiancheng said confidently, "Zhisheng, I know what you are worried about. I think I'm for the face of the second lady, but don't forget that uncle, I climbed up from the bottom and have been wandering around the world for so many years. Do you know what it is based on? It's just that my eyes are bright enough! Uncle, I can't figure out what elements a book has, whether it can be sold well, and to what extent it can be sold!"

"But even so, my uncle is too...too...too enthusiastic about Zhang Duo!" Chen Zhisheng thought about it several times, but finally didn't say anything that embarrassed his uncle.

Jiang Xiancheng said with a smile indifferently, "What does Zhisheng think of Zhang Duo?"

Chen Zhisheng meditated and said, "Young and old, quite talented, and the future is hard to say!"

Jiang Xiancheng laughed and said, "Zhisheng, in my view, this son is not a thing in the pool. First of all, he is young and old, and he is not surprised by favor and humiliation; in the paper, at the age of a weak crown, he wrote a novel of 'pure love', changed the model of talented and beautiful people in the past, and has the atmosphere of establishing a sect; in terms of opinion, his understanding of the hype of the concept of bestsellers is also greatly impressed by the hype of you and me who have been immersed in this book for many years; as a 16 Old teenager, don't you think it's a genius?

Chen Zhisheng said, "From this relationship, Zhang Duo is indeed extraordinary, but it is not amazing and gorgeous. When the talented Wang Cheng published the famous work Romance of the Song Dynasty, his uncle did not give him the first seal of 100,000 copies!"

Jiang Xiancheng's face changed color in an instant, knocked on the car fiercely, and said with hatred, "Well, Wang Cheng, you really humiliated me too much!"

Chen Zhisheng listened, but stopped talking. It turned out that Wang Cheng was the grandson of Wang Ji, a Chinese sage. He was full of talent. At the age of 17, he made his debut with the Romance of the Two Songs, which was written in one article, and became famous. After that, he published a number of historical novels. Wang Cheng's novels have a grand war scene and magnificent momentum. The characters are vivid, and the overall feeling is magnificent and has a strong sense of history, which makes countless people intoxicated. He is a regular customer on the best-seller list.

But Wang Cheng is proud of his talent, * unruly and addicted to alcohol. Originally, Wang Cheng and Jiang Xiancheng made an appointment to talk about the publication of the new book. Jiang Xiancheng also went to Beijing. He didn't want Wang Cheng to get drunk and woke up for two days. After that, a friend visited, postponed the appointment, and got drunk for another three days. On the fifth day, Jiang Xiancheng asked Wang Cheng, who was drunk and relaxed, when he could talk about publishing. He told him lightly that he had given the copyright of the new book to his friends when he was drunk, and asked Jiang Xiancheng to come next time!

Jiang Xiancheng was naturally furious and left angrily. It happened that the second Miss Jin Yuzhi sent someone to send the manuscript. After reading it, he was overjoyed that he came to see a newcomer like Zhang Duo in the literary world in person and gave the first prints of 100,000 copies.

Songjiang People's Publishing House is indeed a influential publishing house in China. After Jiang Xiancheng went back, he went all out. In less than a week, Mo Xiang's "Days to Live with Stewardess" was put on the shelves recommended by new books in major bookstores across the country. In Xinhua bookstores across the country, posters of new books were also posted, with pink tones, blue sky and pink balloons, revealing a beautiful taste.

However, when it was just put on, no one asked. Sometimes a few middle-aged people picked up the new book and saw the title of the book and put it down. Some people saw that it was vernacular and shook their heads with a smile.

At noon, three female students in school uniforms came into the Xinhua Bookstore in Bincheng City and were attracted by the big poster at the door.

"The elaborate work of a 16-year-old genius writer, the peak work of aesthetic and pure love, the opening work of the new school romance, the true feelings warm the world."

"Wow, this poster is so beautiful. I want to paste it in my bedroom!" Zhang Xiaowan said.

Li Qingping said, "From this poster, this new book seems to be very interesting. Let's go and have a look!"

When the two finished talking, they found that Zhou Yuzhen, the cans in their "bottles, cans and bowls" combination, had gone to the exhibition stand of the new book and was very happy to read.

"Ah, you dead can, and you are secretly eating alone!" Two little girls quickly ran to the new book stand and read one by one. They are just junior high school students, and classical Chinese classics are too difficult to understand. Although teachers always recommend them to read, they still buy some vernacular romance novels most of the time when they arrive at the bookstore.

Ran Jing, a barbaric and gentle stewardess, fell in love and drunk, and was "picked up" home by white-collar Lu Fei. Because of Lu Fei's stupidity and humor, Ran Jing began to take the initiative to contact him. After that, he accidentally got the key to Lu Fei's house and soon began the incredible "cohabitation life".

The core of the whole book is one word: pure. Under the name of the seemingly erotic book, it is a healthy and messy description. The whole book has nothing to do with sex. Light and pure love, like a trickle, flows through your heart, penetrates into the internal organs, all over the nerve endings, and finally the whole body has been opened by a faint touch. When I put down this book, I knew that I couldn't stop. The fresh experience of love has become a lingering scenery in my mind.

The three little girls looked at the book very fascinatedly. Zhou Kunqi suddenly exclaimed, "Oh, I'm going to be late, I'm going to be late!" After saying that, he ran to the cashier in a panic and said, "Auntie, I want this book. Please pay the bill quickly!"

Zhang Xiaowan and Li Qingping realized that they had been watching here all noon and would be late in the afternoon if they didn't leave. They also took the books to the cashier to pay. When she went out, Zhou Yanzhen complained, "I've bought books. What else do you buy? Just go back and read them. What a waste!"

Li Qingping said, "I'm anxious to see it, so I can't wait!"

"Yes, who has the patience to wait for you to finish reading it! Besides, it is written on this cover that "Stewardess" is long-lasting and will last forever. I'm going to finish reading the collection!" Zhang Xiaowan said.

"Cut, I'm too lazy to pay attention to you. Oh, it's your fault that you two can't catch the bus. I'm really late this time." Zhou Yan looked at the bus that walked away from her and said sadly.

"It's your fault!"

"It's your fault!"

"It's obviously your fault!

A very similar scene occurred in major bookstores across the country. Many male and female students walked into the bookstore to buy "Days of Living with Stewardess" before the new book stand

Of course, Jiang Xiancheng's publicity can't be just a poster. Songjiang People's Daily used half of the page to recommend a new book - "A beautiful and pure love opening work, the days of living with a stewardess".

Meng Nanxing: The Rise of a 16-year-old teenager - Northeast Evening News.

"Love at the intersection of ideals and reality, reading 'the days of living with stewardesses'" - "Southern New Evening News".

I don't know whether Jiang Xiancheng was stimulated by Wang Cheng, or because of Jin Yuzhi's family background, or Zhang Duo is really a genius. In short, in Chen Zhisheng's opinion, his uncle's action this time was too big and too risky. It's not that there is no opposition in the community. The president talked to him and learned about some information, but the president still refused to express his position.

Jiang Xiancheng went to seven or eight well-known domestic newspapers and periodicals to do publicity, and invited Feng Zixuan, a famous critic, to make a comment in Reading magazine. Feng Zixuan has been Jiang Xiancheng's good friend for many years. Originally, he disdained to comment on this kind of vernacular romance novel, but he agreed to write it after Jiang Xiancheng's soft and hard blistening.

Fairy Tale Love

"As we all know, I am a loyal supporter of classical literature. When I was entrusted by my friends to comment on this novel, I read it with disdain. But after reading the whole story, I found that I was wrong and decades of faith were shaken.

I used to think that classical Chinese was the best way of literary expression, but now I'm not sure, because of this "Days of Living with a Stewardess" appeared. As we all know, in the field of classical literature, romance novels have always been dominated by the type of talents and beauties. From the late Ming and early Qing dynasties to now, they have not declined for hundreds of years. Talented and beautiful people are the eternal complex in a man's heart. Talented people are in trouble, and young ladies give money. They are privately determined for life. After suffering, they have been named on the gold list, and lovers will eventually get married.

For hundreds of years, men with literati dreams or a little talented people have longed for the story of talented women to happen to themselves. He may be a white-collar worker in the company and longs for the daughter of the big boss to favor him. He may be a small clerk of the government, eager for high-ranking officials and noble girls to fall in love with him. But all this is just a daydream!

The Days of Living with Stewardess is also a dreamy love fairy tale, but it is so plain, warm and real. Although it is difficult for us to meet a smart, cute, understanding and beautiful girl like Ran Jing, from another perspective, in fact, many emotional problems in life are felt by ourselves. If we meet the right person, we can be happy every day. The advantage of living with a stewardess is that many times a man has a dream, that is, after a busy life, he can find some fun for himself. There is a woman behind him who is worth fighting for himself, protecting her, and letting her live a good life..."

Reading magazine is a semi-monthly magazine with a circulation of * million copies this month. Its influence in China can be imagined. After the release of this book review and the publicity in other publications, "Days of Living with Steward" can be said to be popular all over the country overnight.

Zhang Duo, as a pure newcomer and an unknown "Meng Nanxing" as a pseudonym, sold 11,000 copies on the first day, 23,000 copies on the second day, 46,000 copies on the third day, and on the fourth day, sold out of stock. 100,000 copies were first printed and sold out within four days.

In fact, this is not difficult to understand. After all, the Chinese people at this time have watched the talented and beautiful series for hundreds of years, but no matter how wonderful it is, there is also a time when they are tired. Nowadays, there is a pure love of Stewardess, which is naturally highly sought after by book fans. Just like the mainland people who watched model dramas for decades in their previous lives, when they saw Hong Kong and Taiwan martial arts dramas and hegemony dramas, they naturally sought after them. Tens of thousands of people were empty, and only then did Hong Kong and Taiwan dramas became popular in the mainland.

And Zhang Duo's harvest is his pen name Che*. Meng Nanxing became famous overnight, because he is said to be a 16-year-old high school student and affectionately called Xing Zai by the majority of flight attendants.
