Grandpa's great writer

Chapter 311: Stand Up (33)
A week after the release of "Rainbow in the Drizzle", Huaxia's book market experienced another wave of shocks, because the great devil Zhang Zhong released a new book.

The new book "After School" will officially meet readers on September [-]th.

The promotion of "After School" has been going on, but there are too many other news about Zhang Zhong during this period, so the news of "After School" being on the shelves has been drowned out, and it has become a bit inconspicuous.

It's really hard to be eye-catching. After all, the two books "The Shining" and "I, Robot" have been on the lips of people this summer. Apart from hiding under the covers and feeling the horror of "The Shining", people also Keep discussing the "Three Laws of Robotics" with people.

Moreover, the residual heat of "Dune" and "The Wandering Sea Ball" has not dissipated, and the global sales of "Dune" continue to rise. Book lovers have been paying attention to where they can go.

There is also a sequel to "The Wandering Sea Ball", which readers have been looking forward to, but there is no news at all.

In addition to these books, Zhang Zhong's inscription for He Ruchu in Yanjing was also aroused.

Just imagine, under such circumstances, how difficult it is to promote "After School".

But even so, the sales of "After School" did not have any problems, maintaining Zhang Zhong's level, and crushed all the books on the market as soon as it appeared.

The book did not arouse much response, neither much criticism nor praise.

There are not many criticisms because this book is indeed a good book, and it is definitely of a high standard in mystery novels.There are few praises because the author of this book is Zhang Zhong.

Since his debut, Zhang Zhong has given readers too many surprises, bringing something different almost every time.

If "After School" was written by other writers, readers might be more relaxed and give it an eight or even nine.

But this book is Zhang Zhong, so it is different.

For Zhang Zhong, this book can only be regarded as qualified, so it is enough to give it a score of six or seven.

This is called the expectation gap.

However, the readers were saying that there was no surprise in this book, but after going to the bookstore, they did not return empty-handed, they all bought a copy and went back.

There is no way, although it is not as good as Zhang Zhong's own book, but it is different compared with other books. It seems that Zhang Zhong's book is the best.

The sales volume of this book is very good no matter in China or in Europe and America.

What Zhang Zhong didn't expect was that "After School" still encountered Waterloo in Neon.

Isn't this unscientific?

If the times and the world have changed, "After School" is not accepted by people, but readers in other countries also read it with gusto.

Only Neon, they even showed a kind of repulsive reaction to this book.

The funniest thing is that a Nihong historian named Rixiazuo jumped out to criticize "After School".

His point of criticism is also very strange.

"Before, there was no precedent for Zhang Zhong's book to be published simultaneously in Neon, but this time Neon was chosen as the first batch of countries to be released simultaneously, probably because his book did not perform well in the Neon market before. I am very relieved that Zhang Zhong attaches great importance to the neon book market, but he should not try to use such a rough book to open up the neon market. Neon readers have their own aesthetics, and they pursue The Internet never flatters outsiders, and never looks up to Zhang Zhong because of his fame. They are good readers, but they are also the most difficult readers to conquer. Obviously, it turns out that "After School" is not sincere. Books cannot conquer the readers of Neon. Because Zhang Zhong's reputation is stripped away, this is just a very ordinary mystery novel..."

This is a bit disgusting to say, first let me say that Zhang Zhong is very optimistic about the Neon market, that is to say, Zhang Zhong wants to curry favor with the readers of Neon, but in the end he won’t lose money, and the readers of Neon will not buy it at all.In the end, it was explained that the reason why readers of Neon did not buy it was because the book "After School" would have hit the street long ago if Zhang Zhong hadn't become famous.

This kind of theory seems to be the same thing. After all, the sales volume of this book is not high in Neon, but the problem is that the sales volume of Zhang Zhong’s previous books is not high in Neon. Could it be that those books before Zhang Zhong Is it also because of Zhang Zhong's fame that people from other countries bought it?

You know, when the book "Ten Little Indian Boys" came out, Zhang Zhong was not well-known.

But such a passage with a lot of logical loopholes is still very marketable, and many people in the Neon country support this theory.

After all, this paragraph on the left under the sun is full of neon readers.

Well, we don't like your book, it's not our problem, but because we are all aspiring readers, it's your book that has a problem.

When Chen Qing reported the sales of "After School" to Zhang Zhong, he specifically mentioned this matter.

"Boss, I really don't know why you want Neon to be the starting country. Now they're going crazy."

"I just think this book is quite suitable for neon readers." Zhang Zhong really didn't expect that the sales would be so poor. This is the work that won the Edogawa Rampo Award on earth.

It seems that the boss was also mistaken. Chen Qing sighed and said, "Then, can we properly give up the neon market? It's time-consuming and labor-intensive.

Zhang Zhong pondered for a while, then said, "Why do you think this book was frustrated in Neon? Is it because the book is not good?"

"How is it possible? Even if this book doesn't become popular, it won't be sold in a country with more than 1 million people. I think they are simply xenophobic, but they say it nicely. They all have pursuits. Readers will not be affected by unexpected things in the work, I bah!"

Zhang Zhong smiled, it seemed that Chen Qing was so angry that he started to swear.

"How about this, let's do an experiment to see if they are not affected by foreign objects. I will send you another book tomorrow, this time only in the neon language version, you can just name it as the name of the neon country author's name."

"This trick is okay." Chen Qing exclaimed, then hesitated again, "But isn't it a waste of words like this, this is a book."

"What's the waste? It's not that it can't be published in other countries. When the time comes, just change the author's name. It's just a small experiment."

"Well, I want to see if Neon's readers are really as fair and just as they say."

……

In fact, Zhang Zhong also had some opinions on Ri Xiazuo's words.

Why, the biao is pawned for you, and you still want to erect the archway, how can there be such a good thing.

Zhang Chong did this experiment to smash down their archway.
