Grandpa's great writer

Chapter 768 Readers Protest

Zhang Zhong didn't expect that he would have an extra apprentice after going to Qin's house for a meal. He was still thinking about it on the way home. Accepting Qin Zhao as a student is completely different from teaching at school. Case teaching is enough, and most students have any questions to communicate with.

As for Qin Zhao, there are no lesson plans to refer to.

But Pengpeng is very happy, she also has a junior brother.

"Pengpeng, who taught you that someone called you big sister?" On the way home, Hu Huifang asked with a smile.

Pengpeng said with a smile, "It's always like this when I watch TV. Dad is the master, and I am the elder sister."

Zhang Xingjun laughed, "Hey, I'm still the head of the sect. According to you, your father will pass on the position of the head of the sect to you in the future?"

"That depends on how I perform." Peng Peng said quite seriously.

Xu Yuhan smiled and said, "Then if you inherit your father's position, what will you do, Mr. Wu? Mr. Wu is only one of your apprentices. If you don't inherit the position of Mr. Wu, then Mr. Wu's sect will be a broken."

"Oh." Pengpeng patted his head, "Why did I forget, it's all right now, I can be the head no matter what."

Zhang Zhong hasn't watched TV with Pengpeng recently, but he can guess that this girl must have watched a lot of martial arts movies recently.

"Junior junior brother is getting started, and the general senior sister will definitely give a meeting gift. What meeting gift are you going to give your junior brother Qin?" Zhang Xingjun joked with a smile.

"I still need to give a meeting gift." Pengpeng scratched his head and said, "Then I'll give him a painting."

"What painting to send?"

"Of course it's my painting. I'll draw a portrait of him when I get back. I'm the best at this." Pengpeng said with a smile.

Hearing that Pengpeng wanted to paint a portrait for Qin Zhao, the old couple shuddered at the same time.

The paintings that Pengpeng gave them before made them still have a deep memory. Pengpeng, this girl likes to draw people as animals, and she insists that she looks like them.

They could only mourn Qin Zhao in silence, and no one knew what Pengpeng would paint Qin Zhao.

……

"The Call of the Wild" has been on the shelves for a week, and the sales performance has exceeded Zhang Zhong's imagination. In just one week, the sales volume reached 200 million.

The first week score of 200 million is not an amazing thing for Zhang Zhong, but "The Call of the Wild" is different from science fiction or detective novels, its audience is relatively narrow, and he is willing to read such a book There are also fewer people.

You know, some time ago, Zhang Zhong's science fiction novel "A Clockwork Girl" only sold 900 million copies in half a month, basically the same as "The Call of the Wild" in a week.

Among Zhang Zhong's non-science fiction and non-detective novels, "The Call of the Wild" is second only to "Sophie's World".

Of course, such a good result is still due to the Goncourt Literature Award some time ago, because this award directly led to a surge in the sales of the award-winning work "Lord of the Flies" and the subsequent release of "The Call of the Wild".

But at the same time, readers are also a little worried, because Zhang Zhong's novels released during this period are all based on literariness.

Even the previous "Wind-up Girl" was a tiring read.

It has been a long time, and readers have not tasted the thrill of brainstorming from Zhang Zhong.

They don't have any opinions on Zhang Zhong's highly literary works, because they also know that they are all excellent works. Although they sometimes don't eagerly plunder the contents of these works, they at least know these works. Works are good, they can purify the soul and elevate the mind.

But most readers don't want to wash their minds all the time, they also want to eat a hearty meal while washing their minds.

Will Zhang Chong stop writing popular novels?

This situation often occurs in the literary world. Some writers are from popular literature or even online literature, but when they become popular in the mainstream literary world and win literary awards frequently, they may no longer be involved in popular literature or Internet literature. Network literature.

They tried their best to get rid of the label of popular literature or Internet literature, because in the eyes of many people, serious classic literature is higher than popular literature.

Like Zhang Zhong, he can be said to be the writer with the least money in the world. Does this mean that Zhang Zhong lacks the desire and motivation to write best-selling books?

And even if Zhang Zhong stopped writing popular literature, his books would still sell well.

From all perspectives, Zhang Zhong seems to have good reasons for not getting involved in popular literature.

Thinking of this possibility, many readers panicked.

But at this time, some readers said that everyone should not panic, there must be science fiction and detective novels behind Zhang Zhong.

Another part of netizens expressed puzzlement, why these people speak so convincingly?
After asking, they only knew or remembered the lottery draw in the Juwang Exhibition Hall.

Most of Zhang Chong’s book fans know about the lottery draw in the commercial area of ​​the Juwang Exhibition Hall. When Juwang first opened, the lottery draw was still a thing of the past, but this time has passed, and many people have forgotten about it. , and some people don't even know about it.

It is said that there are five grand prizes in the lottery of the Juwang Exhibition Hall, all of which are signed books by Zhang Zhong, and so far, two books have been drawn out.

A passage written by Zhang Zhong himself was left on the two signed books.

The first paragraph is rather long: In the undeclared silent void at the end of the western spiral arm of the Milky Way, there hangs a small, unnoticed yellow sun...

The second paragraph is shorter: My puzzle is nearing completion—every piece fits perfectly, seamlessly.

These two passages are the basis for readers to speculate that science fiction and detective stories will follow.

Needless to say, the first paragraph is a sentence in a science fiction novel just by looking at the text, and Zhang Zhong’s book fans know that this paragraph is not in any previous science fiction novel, which means that there should be a sentence in a science fiction novel. New science fiction.

As for the second paragraph, it looks very ordinary. At first glance, it may not necessarily make people think it is a sentence in a detective novel.But readers who are familiar with Zhang Zhong's works, and even Poirot fans, can naturally understand the mystery. They can think of Poirot just by seeing this sentence. This should be Poirot's tone, and this kind of words often appear in a case At the end, Poirot makes the final revelation.

Hearing the analysis of some netizens, everyone's hearts settled down, but at the same time they started a new round of protests.

Because these two paragraphs mean that the new book is already available, but it has not been released for a long time.

Especially in the later Poirot series, it looks like the ending has come out.
