Grandpa's great writer

As the owner of a leisure and entertainment bookstore, he can certainly empathize with what the daily said.

Even when Zhang Zhong first emerged in the literary world, people came to the bookstore mainly to read popular novels, and later they were even divided into the science fiction camp and the detective suspense camp.

But I don't know when, there is an additional serious novel camp.

And this camp was not created out of thin air, they were also separated from the science fiction camp and the detective suspense camp.

These readers may be only interested in Zhang Zhong's science fiction novels or detective suspense novels at first, but they fall in love with Zhang Zhong's traditional novels after watching them.

The reason why Zhang Zhong’s traditional novels sell so well is that on the one hand, the works are really excellent, and on the other hand, it is also because popular novels have brought him a huge fan base.

Even if [-]/[-] readers are willing to read a traditional novel every day because of Zhang Zhong, this number is still very impressive.

Now in the bookstore, you can often see many people holding a copy of "Border Town", "To Live" or "Ordinary World".

Two years ago, Zhang Junwei didn't even dare to think about it, but now he is used to it.

He suddenly remembered the chat with a friend who was in sales a few years ago. At first, the two just chatted about some gossip. Later, the friend asked Zhang Junwei what he was doing recently. Zhang Junwei told his friend that he was reading a good book recently. The title of the book was passed on to a friend.

The friend's reaction at that time made Zhang Junwei very uncomfortable.

"I'll go, it's so compelling."

What he pushed was just a very ordinary novel, not to mention high-spirited, let alone gaudy. Anyone who has received compulsory education can understand that book, but my friend still thinks that reading such a novel The book is very compelling.

In fact, it has nothing to do with what books Zhang Junwei reads. In the eyes of my friends, as long as they read books, they are very compelling.

And my friend has said it very euphemistically, maybe I will feel that Zhang Junwei is pretending to be coercive.

That friend is not an uneducated person, he is still a college student who graduated from a certain 211 university, and is an intellectual with a higher education.

But precisely because of this, Zhang Junwei felt even more uncomfortable.

These people who have read books for more than ten or twenty years and have received higher education still hold the idea that reading is pretending to be forced. One can imagine how poor the reading environment in China is.

Even scholars who don't read much, let alone expect others.

Some people may say that there are many college students now, and it is normal that there are many who do not like to study.

But how many college students are there in Huaxia?

Perhaps the number is not bad, but proportionally speaking, only 5.00% of Huaxia's people have a bachelor's degree or above.

The 211 of friends crushed most people even more.

And that friend is not a special case. There are many highly educated people around Zhang Junwei who don't really study.

There are so many entertainment activities these days that you can watch a movie in two hours, or two if you fast forward.In two hours, you can watch dozens or even hundreds of short videos, play a few games on the PC, and play a dozen games on the mobile phone.

But I can't finish a book in two hours.

And Zhang Zhong can steal people's time in such a big environment, and he will know the greatness of it.

A few days ago, Zhang Junwei saw a post in the circle of friends of that friend, saying that it was because he watched the movie "The Last Starfish" and thought it was very good, so he bought a copy of the original book and prepared to read it carefully.

Although I don’t know if this friend has finished reading the book in the end, but this is undoubtedly a good sign, at least he is willing to walk into the bookstore, and his previous view of "reading a book is pretending" has also been reversed .

Also at the beginning of the year, a young couple came to the bookstore. They were still college students. The girl’s name was Yu Jing, and the boy’s name was Li Yu. "I met on the day of the release.

It was the first time Yu Jing went to a bookstore to read a science fiction novel, and she spent several hours reading it. At that time, she met her boyfriend who was a fan of Zhang Zhong, and the two formed a bond.

Later, Yu Jing seldom read those idol dramas and romance novels, and began to read some Zhang Zhong's books, science fiction, suspense, detective and traditional literature.

These living examples around Zhang Junwei made him very clear that what the daily said was not an exaggeration. Many people really embarked on a journey of science fiction and entered the world of detectives because of Zhang Zhong, and then picked up traditional literature. .

"What are you thinking about?" His wife's voice brought Zhang Junwei back from his memories to reality, and he smiled, "I wonder if I can see this number reach thirty in my lifetime."

Li Tianyi laughed, "You really dare to think, do you know what thirty is?"

"Of course I know. If it was before, I wouldn't dare to think about it, but now I suddenly have a little confidence. Maybe in a few decades, the country's basic education will be better, and the cultural atmosphere will be stronger. This data is not fantastic. Isn’t Tan Zhang Zhong doing such things now? He has sponsored so many Hope Primary Schools and donated books to primary schools from time to time. Isn’t he just cultivating children’s reading habits? Isn’t this why we open a bookstore? original intention?"

The more Zhang Junwei spoke, the more excited he became, his eyes were full of expectations.

Li Tianyi was affected by her husband's emotions, and he also took a deep breath, "After you said that, I also started to imagine. If there is such a day, when we are walking on the road, we can see people holding notebooks on the side of the road. Life must be good to sit on a bench and read a book."

"Haha, at least it's more comfortable than releasing video software." Zhang Junwei teased.

……

The daily data spread quickly, and book fans were eagerly discussing it.

But also set off a wave of "show off" frenzy.

Many people put the books they have read in the past year into a book list and put them on the Internet, proudly declaring that they have also made a small contribution to this data.

[This is all the paper books I have read this year, and I will not take out the e-books.After hours of searching, I sorted it out. 】

[Wow, the host must have hundreds of copies here. 】

[Haha, most of them are magazines, "Zero Zero One" and "Agitation Literature" I must buy every issue, and other impurities will occasionally buy a copy, and it doesn't cost much money or time. 】

[It doesn’t cost much, but these books and magazines are estimated to cost several thousand dollars together. I dare not compare, dare not compare. 】

[I haven’t calculated it, anyway, buying a magazine every week is only a few tens of dollars at most, and buying one or two booklets of novels, it’s probably a few hundred dollars a month, but I didn’t feel it when I bought it. 】

[Indeed, I bought "Zero and One" all the time. It doesn't feel like a few yuan for a book, and it's hundreds of dollars a year. 】
