I really don't want to be a novelist

Chapter 417 "Star Dream" Overseas Edition Released
Al Press,
After being praised by Mr. I, Al smiled more and became more excited.

"...Penny, we need to increase publicity. Although we can't match the resources of those big publishing houses, we must let the word-of-mouth effect of Mr. I's works play out faster."

"of course."

Penny also responded with a smile.

Al turned back again, looking 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. I believe that any reader who reads "Ordinary and Great" will recognize the excellence and greatness of this work."

"Contact the printing house and let them print as soon as possible. We can't hold Mr. I back. We can pay a little more, but we must not miss this opportunity! Enough books must reach readers!"

Petunia nodded again, and got up to get busy.

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

I got up and got busy again.

After waiting for so long, Mr. I's work "The Ordinary and the Great" blooms its own, and the time to shine is finally coming.

It's like the rising sun is gradually rising, breaking through any clouds and mists that block it!
……

And here.

Magic City, inside the house.

After chatting with Al, Ji Zhuo was numb.

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

But this time,
Messages from the other two editors, Editor-in-Chief Carroll and Editor-in-Chief Lou also came in one after another.

"Carol: Mr. A, "Shadow Empire" sold about 80 copies yesterday. Compared with the previous day, the single-day sales basically did not drop much.

carol: The problem of insufficient offline stock has been alleviated to some extent. About half of the products were sold directly through offline channels yesterday. "

Ji Zhuo glanced at the cell phone that lit up from time to time,
Strictly speaking, the news from Carroll should be regarded as good news, no matter from any point of view.

But Ji Zhuo, who had just finished chatting with Editor-in-Chief Al, was a little excited.

Then came the news 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: Previously, online pre-sales have sold more than 300 million copies!Readers are also very enthusiastic about the information obtained from various offline channels. "

Ok?
Ji Zhuo paused,
Before, I was full of attention on the recent affairs of "The Ordinary and the Great",
I almost forgot the release time of the overseas version of "Star Dream".

I thought to myself, isn't the overseas version of "Star Dream" released today?
With the toothbrush still in his mouth, Ji Zhu perked up a little.

Although judging from the current public opinion, discussion and popularity on the Internet, the situation is already a bit bad.

But can the release of the overseas version of "Star Dream" muddy the water again?
At least divert readers' attention from the award of "The Ordinary and the Great",

Return to the competition between the overseas version of "Star Dream" and ABC's works?

Ji Zhuo held a small and feeble hope,

Looking at the phone screen again, the lighted up phone screen displayed the next message from Editor-in-Chief Lou.

"Editor 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 are some other buzzes on the Internet recently, I think that under the wave of overseas sales of your new works, Mr. Ji, all other influences are just trivial matters.

Editor-in-Chief Lou: The overseas sales of your works cannot be shaken by Mr. Ji.

Clumsy and Uncommon: Hmm... Editor-in-Chief Lou meant "The Ordinary and the Great"?
Editor-in-Chief Lou: Well, did Mr. Ji notice it?
Editor-in-Chief Lou: This small publishing house in the White Flag Country has no way to confront Delwin Publishing House head-on, and the works they publish cannot compare to Mr. Ji's works.

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

Editor-in-Chief Lou: But don’t worry, Delwin Publishing House and...um...are not vegetarians either!
Editor-in-Chief Lou: Never let the overseas sales of your works be adversely affected! "

It's really two people's mouths about the same thing, but they look different.

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

From the mouth of editor-in-chief Lou, this is shameless.

In addition, Ji Zhuo basically had no opinion on Editor-in-Chief Lou's last sentence.

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

It will not have much impact on the sales of works of ABC or 'dog author'.

Again, it is impossible for readers to read only one work.

When there are three good works, the choice of most readers is probably to buy three books, rather than choosing one among them.

The previous suppression of 'I' by 'ABC' and 'Dog Author' was basically a squeeze on heat,
Let the work of 'I' not be noticed at all under such a wave of heat.

Now even if "The Ordinary and the Great" is gaining attention, it is impossible for readers not to notice the new books of 'ABC' and 'Dog Author'.

But what Ji Zhuo cares about is whether the sales of the overseas version of "Star Dream" will not be affected?
What he cares about is that the sales of "The Ordinary and the Great" have not been affected.

……

Ji Zhuo hasn't responded yet, and Editor-in-Chief Lou hasn't sent any new news yet.

But the editor-in-chief Carol sent another message,
The content of the news is basically the same as what Editor-in-Chief Lou said.

"Carol: Also, Mr. A, have you paid attention to the news?
Carol: That damned publishing house that publishes "The Ordinary and the Great" is trying to woo Mr. A's enthusiasm for your work in a disgusting way.

Carol: But Mr. A, don't worry, Burt Publishing will not let this affect the sales of your work "Shadow Empire".

Carol: Even though "The Ordinary and the Great" is not bad, it cannot be compared with "Shadow Empire", at most it is similar to your friend's work.

Clumsy and uncommon:..."

Hey……

Ji Zhuo sighed,

I replied to the editor-in-chief Carroll and the editor-in-chief Lou in turn, and then did not reply.

Tired, just like that, destroy it.

"Gollum..."

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

Code it.

……

"The overseas version of "Star Dream" is officially on sale, and the pre-sale has exceeded 300 million copies."

"Delwin Publishing House claims that the stock is sufficient this time to meet the enthusiasm of readers, please rest assured to buy!"

Although there has been a lot of movement on the Internet recently,

But the release of the overseas version of "Star Dream" is still attracting attention.

The current popularity on the overseas Internet is probably that the showdown between ABC and the author of the dog has attracted the attention of most people.

Secondly, I's "The Ordinary and the Great", which has firmly occupied a small area of ​​popularity and is still gradually expanding its influence.

Under the relevant news, there are also all kinds of comments.

"...Cool, after waiting for a long time, finally the release of "Star Dream" in different languages."

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

"Friends, what holiday is today? I just discovered the good work "Ordinary and Great", and then saw the overseas version of "Star Dream" released!"

"I'm already in line at the door of the bookstore! I want to be the first to get it!"

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

"Please don't mention "The Ordinary and the Great" here, that shameless book that stole the work that originally belonged to the ABC award."

"Why did you take away the award that originally belonged to ABC? Why should it be the award that originally belonged to 'Dog Author'? Do you think ABC should have won the award?"

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

I have 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, not inferior to the works of ABC and Dog authors. "

online,
The readers of the three parties simply got together and were in chaos.

Even I has the least number of readers, but its combat effectiveness is not weak at all, and fierce debates are inevitable.

At the moment, Xi Yuan’s roommate, who is queuing up in the bookstore to buy the English version of "The Dream of the Stars", reads the negative reviews of I's work "The Ordinary and the Great" on the Internet,

I wrote this comment carefully and sent it out.

However, his 'heresy' comments were only sent out, and they were quickly drowned out.

"...Xi Yuan, what do you think they are arguing about? Aren't these all good works? Must there be a competition? The dog author and ABC are still friends."

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

Xi Yuan smiled and also looked at the phone.

"The dog author and ABC have to compete. Although they are both good works, different people must have more favorite works, right? Just like you, there must be a favorite work."

"Well... I like "Star Dream" the most now"

"Before that."

"Before I liked "Shadow Empire" the most"

"Then you are liking the new and disliking the old."

Xi Yuan was talking to his roommate with a smile.

At this time, the roommates who had finally lined up came to 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!"

Fancheng.

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

Waiting for the courier who had called him a few minutes ago to come to his door.

Hearing the knock on the door, Ye Linhan jumped up and opened the living room door.

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

"Please sign for it."

"well……"

After signing for the express delivery quickly, the living room door was closed again,
Ye Linhan, who was holding the express box, sat back on the sofa,

Looking at the unopened package, there was some strong anticipation in his eyes.

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

Regardless of whether the book is well written or poorly written, he is looking forward to it,
Tore open the courier box in a few clicks,
I took the English version of "The Ordinary and the Great" in my hand.

"Let's see, what's up with this book that snatched the ABC and Dog author awards?"

With a sacred sense of mission,

Ye Linghan 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 became more interested,

I moved my body on the sofa, and then opened the text.

The English version of "The Ordinary and the Great",
At the beginning, Ye Linhan had a little difficulty reading.

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

Always use some relatively commonly used vocabulary to form an appropriate sentence, describing the progress of the story extremely appropriately and fluently.

This is the embodiment of the writer's writing.

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

This thought flashed through Ye Linghan's mind, and then was forgotten again.

Gradually, the plot develops downwards,
Those miscellaneous thoughts in Ye Linhan's mind have also been emptied,
Judge whether this book is good or bad?Does anyone deserve to steal that award from the ABC and dog writers?
Ye Linhan, who was reading this work, could no longer care about these things,

I just want to continue reading page by page, watching the development of the plot,
Gradually immersed in the world and the story depicted in the book.

It's just that as the plot changes, emotions also fluctuate with the plot.

the sunshine outside the window,
From noon, gradually to the west,

In the quiet living room, only the sound of pages being turned was left.

Ye Linhan started from the beginning of the ordinary chapter,
I have been seeing the end of the ordinary chapter.

From the death of Hoss's father, Medioc, to this incident, Hoss was burdened with a debt that he could not repay in his life.

Then to Little Hoss secretly erecting a monument to his father Medioc, and then to Little Hoss' encounter with Aunt Varina in the farmland.

Dependent on each other with Mrs. Milia, and working in the fields day after day, the words that the bard finally spoke reflected another kind of cruelty.

……

"Gollum..."

Obviously, it's a good piece of work.

And the withdrawal from the reading of such a good work can only be due to the rebellion of the hungry.

My stomach screamed twice.

Ye Linhan finally recovered from the stories in the book,
At this time, he has read the entire content of the ordinary chapter.

With difficulty, he pulled his eyes away from the book, raised his head, his eyes were still a little dazed,
As if still immersed in the world described in the book,
That extremely depressing world.

I was in a daze for a while, and finally I was hungry and screamed twice,

Only then did Ye Linhan come back to his senses,

"call……"

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

He lowered his head again, and looked at the "Ordinary and Great" opened in his hand.

The previous questions seem to have been answered.

Even if it is possible that the judges of the Europa Writer's Award chose the third book due to the difficulty of choosing between ABC and dog authors,

This book will not be randomly selected.

There is no doubt that this is a good work, not worse than ABC or the new book of the dog author.

He is worthy of any award.

but,

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

And more is placed in the content described in the book.

An ordinary chapter, starting with the death of Hoss's father Medioc,
Ends with Hoth's otherworldly decision.

However, many questions left in the ordinary chapters have not been answered in the ordinary chapters.

Aunt Varina's children, Walker's death,

The difference between the church's punishment for Medioc or Howth and the church's laws in the bard population...

The ordinary chapter tells an ordinary and depressing story.

Should the great chapter be the story of a great man?

Ye Linghan raised his head,
In order to appease my hungry stomach, I ordered a takeaway first.

Then, while waiting for the takeaway, I couldn't help but move my gaze down gradually,

Finally, it fell on the "Ordinary and Great" spread out in his hand.

"Then continue to look at..."

Feeling ready to move, Ye Linhan continued to read,
Opened the contents of the great chapter, gradually,

The house was quiet again,
From the beginning of the great chapter, little Gerrit begins with advice to his father Howth from what he has learned in school.

Gradually to the many questions of little Gerrit,

Changes in Valina's family.

Little Gerrit's tuition problem, and then the death of Mrs. Milia.

During the period, Little Gerrit figured out some problems, but also had more doubts.

Immersed in the story, Ye Linhan continued to read.

The plot in the article also continued to progress.

"...Little Gerrit seems to understand something, but has more doubts."

"The question he asked the doctor before was the doubt in his heart. The doctor only treats those who can afford it, but he says that all pious people can get treatment. Is it true that if you have money, you will be pious, or if you are pious, you will have money?
In addition, pious people who have been healed will still die because of impiety, so what is wrong? "

"The first question seems to be answered by his father Hoss..."
