Entertainment, I really only know a little

Chapter 216 Another one: "Camel Xiangzi"... (Please subscribe)
"I really didn't expect that we in China could have such excellent pure literary works. I bought it."

"Stay alive. Although I feel this novel is cruel, I must support it."

"Wandering Wind can sell 10 copies a day. The sales volume of "Alive" depends on everyone."

In fact.

It doesn’t take too many people to advertise.

Physical pure literature generally does not win through advertising.

If pure literature wants to sell well, the most important reference indicator is word of mouth.

If someone reads it, they will recommend it to others, and to most people.

Then.

This work is a success.

Not to mention this "Alive".

Almost everyone who has watched this work has tried every possible means to bring constant benefits to everyone.

The result is.

Originally, the sales of "Wandering Wind" were okay.

but.

Facing "Alive", his sales dropped rapidly.

"10 copies, brothers, Alive sold 10 copies yesterday."

"Let me just say, "Alive" can definitely defeat Piaoyou. The public's eyes are sharp. How can the sales of "Alive" not increase?"

"Boss Chu Ying is a loser. I think now I can say that Boss Chu Ying is qualified to defeat the old thief Qingya."

"That's necessary."

There were stars in everyone's eyes.

People had also compared Chu Ying with Qing Ya before.

Although many people said that Chu Ying should be able to compete with Qingya.

But most people don't agree.

This is mainly because Qingya's martial arts is too powerful.

Although Chu Ying is also very powerful, the publications and online novels he writes are still unable to compare with Qingya's martial arts.

But now.

"Alive" instantly raised Chu Ying's passion to the highest level.

Really take the style to say.

Sometimes, pure literature like "Alive" has more status in the eyes of many people than a series of martial arts works.

of course.

This is naturally controversial.

After all, pure literature and martial arts novels are not in the same category, and it seems impossible to force them to compare.

But no matter what.

The appearance of "Alive" made Chu Ying's status rise sharply.

even.

Such a work.

Even the Eastern Continent has been conducting research recently.

"Live" by Zhonglu looks good."

"Not only does it look good, it's simply a classic. I feel it's even better than our Donglu "Wandering Wind"."

"Damn, are you from Donglu, how can you speak for Zhonglu?"

"It's not to help Zhonglu. It's better than "Wind Wandering". Do you want me to talk nonsense. Why don't you go and read "To Live". After reading it, if you still feel that "Wind Wandering" is written Okay, let me lose."

"Well, I've actually finished watching it, and I also think "To Live" is more classic."

"Nah, that guy is still talking about me."

"I'm not afraid of what others will say about me."

"roll……"

……

"Old Xu, don't worry about it. Victory or defeat is a common matter in military affairs. Besides, this is Zhonglu's own territory."

"Lao Xu, just don't be sad and drink tea."

"Old Xu, why haven't you spoken?"

It’s still that teahouse.

Still Xu Taiyuan, Wang Ruocheng, and Liu Zhijun.

But today, Xu Taiyuan has been silent.

After arriving at the teahouse, he kept reading a book.

The name of the book is "Alive" which is currently selling well.

"Old Xu, I told you to speak. If you don't speak, we will leave."

Seeing that Xu Taiyuan didn't speak, Wang Ruocheng took the book away from Xu Taiyuan: "If you ask me, this book "Alive" is just like that."

"Oh, you..."

Seeing this, Xu Taiyuan had no choice but to take a sip of tea and said: "Old Wang, don't say such things, we know our own affairs, and this "Alive" is indeed very well written, much better than what I wrote. "

"Old Xu, are you trying to boost others' ambition and destroy your own prestige?"

"I also want to grow my ambition."

Lao Xu spread his hands helplessly: "Guess how much my "Wandering Wind" sold yesterday?"

"How many?"

"8000 volumes."

"Did you drop so much?"

The two took a deep breath.

To know.

Some time ago, I heard that this book sold 10 copies.

As a result, it has now dropped to 8000 copies.

Although a number like 8000 volumes is not bad.

But compared to before, it was too miserable.

What's even worse is.

At this time, "Alive" has hit a new high, with 13 copies sold yesterday.

"Hey, by the way, Lao Wang, Lao Liu, don't you also have works that you want to put on the shelves of Zhonglu? When?"

"This one……"

When it comes to his own works.

Wang Ruocheng was a little embarrassed: "The publishing side said there are still procedures to go through, and it may take a while."

Liu Zhijun was also embarrassed and said: "Originally, I planned to put it on the shelves soon, but damn, that publishing house said that it has not yet connected with Zhonglu. I believed him."

"Yeah, it's better to take more time to prepare."

Xu Taiyuan laughed loudly and did not expose the two of them: "Come on, let's drink tea."

……

"Teacher Chu Ying, yesterday the sales volume of "Alive" exceeded 13, 13 copies."

Editor Xiaochun excitedly sent a message to Chen Yi.

For them.

Pure literature generally has average sales.

Not to mention that pure literature sales are average.

In fact, the sales volume of all paper books is not necessarily large.

With 3 copies sold, it is already a bestseller.

And many works cannot even sell 3 copies.

Not to mention pure literature.

Most of the time it is pure literature, and if it relies solely on market sales, he may not even publish it.

Because for publishing houses, it is actually a loss-making business if they really want to publish these pure literature.

So now there are many pure literary works, some of which are self-financed, and some of which are supported by higher authorities.

just.

This is for ordinary pure literary works.

But for classic pure literature, his sales are no less than bestsellers.

But even so.

Xiaochun did not expect that the book "Alive" could sell 13 copies in one day.

If you add up the sales of the previous few days.

So this book is alive, the industry predicts that it can sell at least 800 million copies, or even higher.If it can be maintained in the next few years, or if it is not maintained, some people will continue to read it.

Then.

It is possible for this book to sell 1000 million copies.

This is why Xiaochun is so excited.

"Thank you, Teacher Xiaochun."

For such a number, Chen Yi is quite calm.

The sales volume of "Alive" in the previous life was no lower than it is now.

The single volume sales exceeded 2000 million copies in the previous life.

From this, we can prove the influence of the work "To Live".

"You're welcome. I have to thank you. You don't know that since I took charge of your work, I went from being an intern editor to being the editor-in-chief."

"Congratulations, try to become the editor-in-chief."

"Forget it as chief editor. The competition is too strong. I have never thought about being chief editor before."

"What's the point? People have to have dreams. What if they come true? Besides, there's still me."

"Teacher Chu Ying, what are you doing?"

"I'm going to write another book."

"Wow, another one."

"Correct."

"what type?"

"It's still pure literature."

"Teacher Chu Ying, you really want to promote me to the position of editor-in-chief."

"Of course."

Chen Yi smiled and nodded.

of course.

It was just a joke to say that Xiaochun was promoted to the position of editor-in-chief.

Whether Xiaochun can become the editor-in-chief is a matter for their publishing house.

Although Chen Yi has a good relationship with Xiaochun, he doesn't have much interest in such things.

but.

He is really ready to write another purely literary work.

……

"Camel Xiangzi".

Yes.

Chen Yi is going to write another pure literary work, "Camel Xiangzi" from Mr. "Lao She" in his previous life.

This work is more famous than "Alive".

I believe that anyone who has attended nine-year compulsory education knows this work.

"Camel Xiangzi" tells the story of a rickshaw driver.

The protagonist of the story is Xiangzi.

As for the camel among them, it was the camel that Xiangzi picked up when he escaped after being caught by the soldiers to do something.

Later, when he was sleeping, Xiangzi kept thinking about his camel, so Xiangzi got the nickname of Xiangzi, the camel.

of course.

The story has to start from the beginning:
"The story is actually not complicated. Xiangzi was born in a rural area. After his parents died, he went to the city alone to pull a cart. After his unremitting efforts, he bought a cart of his own, which is this kind of human-powered cart. With this car, Xiangzi became the first-class rickshaw driver in the city.

But within half a year, a war broke out in the city.In order to make a little more money, Xiangzi took a few guests to a well-known university.Unexpectedly, at this time, he was caught by the warlord doing something, and his car was also robbed.Fortunately, Xiangzi was smart enough to escape and successfully took away the three camels. Then Xiangzi sold the three camels to others and received 35 yuan. "

"Camel Xiangzi" is one of Mr. Lao She's masterpieces.

Unlike other well-known writers.

in that era.

In fact, there are many well-known writers who have written about rickshaw pullers.

It's just that most of them analyze these rickshaw pullers from an intellectual perspective.

Although this analysis is also full of sympathy.

But I didn’t appreciate the life of these rickshaw pullers from the bottom of my heart.

Lao She was born in a poor family, had been in contact with the lower class people since he was a child, and had a deeper understanding of the living conditions of the working people.

The camel Xiangzi here is the story of a real rickshaw driver recorded by Mr. Lao She.

The story continues.

"Xiangzi, who had no car, deposited the money from selling camels with Liu Siye, hoping to buy another car. So Xiangzi worked hard again. Unfortunately, when Xiangzi's accumulation was almost the same, he was caught by his grandson. The detective was given away, all savings were gone, and the hope of buying a car for the second time was in vain. In the end, Xiangzi married Liu Siye's very ugly daughter, Huniu. Girl, Xiangzi bought a car.

But after buying the car, Huniu died of dystocia. Huniu had no choice but to sell the car to Huniu for funeral.In the end, because of Huniu's departure and because his favorite lover Xiaofuzi committed suicide, Xiangzi no longer wanted to work hard and started eating, drinking, whoring, gambling, doing everything, and eventually became a pitiful person..."

Copy it in one go.

Chen Yi was filled with emotions.

Although "Camel Xiangzi" was written nearly 100 years ago in the previous life.

But the story of "Camel Xiangzi" still made Chen Yi unable to calm down for a long time.

He kept thinking about it in his mind, what did Xiangzi do wrong?
But no matter how he looked or thought, Chen Yi never thought that Xiang Zi had done something wrong.

He was originally a promising young man. Although he came from a poor background, he was able to endure hardship and wanted to make progress.

That's the kind of person he is.

Why did he end up becoming a selfish, free-seeking, and unmotivated person?

This is a very heavy topic.

of course.

Although the protagonist in "Luotuo Xiangzi" is Xiangzi, it is not just about Xiangzi.

In this work, there are also a series of extremely profound characters.

For example, Xiao Fuzi is also someone Xiangzi likes.

Xiao Fuzi is an extremely kind person, but he is also an extremely sad person.

She was first sold by her father to an officer. After the officer was transferred, she returned to her parents' family. Her mother had been beaten to death by her father, and her father was an alcoholic. The family had no financial resources. She watched her two younger brothers starve and were forced to go on the road. The road of prostitution.In the end, she was sold to a brothel by her father. Unable to wait for Xiangzi to pick her up, she couldn't bear the inhuman treatment and hanged herself.

Another example is the two strong sons.

Erqiangzi is Xiaofuzi's father.

He sold his daughter, Xiao Fuzi, and bought a car. After a good time, when the money ran out, he drank and lost his temper at home. In the end, he beat his wife to death. He was so drunk that he didn't care about the two children at home.After her daughter Xiaofuzi came back, she forced her to work to support the family. She often went home to ask for money from her daughter, and after asking for the money, she would go back and get drunk.

And Lao Ma.

Lao Ma, like Xiangzi, is also a coachman.

He wanted to be strong all his life, but in the end he still failed to protect his grandson and watched helplessly as his grandson died in his arms.

Later, he sold his family property and car, and finally had to rely on selling some things to support himself.

Yes.

Later, Xiangzi also became another old horse.

of course.

And Platoon Commander Sun.

There are many reasons why Xiangzi finally became insensitive and selfish, but the most direct reason was because of Platoon Leader Sun.

When this guy first started, he took away Xiangzi's car.Later, this guy stopped serving as a soldier and became a detective, but he still arranged a trick with Xiangzi and robbed Xiangzi of all his savings.

This series of characters, every one of them, is so distinct.

"Headache."

Press your head.

Chen Yi didn't want to continue.

It's different from watching "Alive".

I cried while watching "Alive", and my heart ached from crying.

As for "Camel Xiangzi", Chen Yi did not shed a single tear throughout the whole process.

But after copying it, Chen Yi not only felt distressed, but also felt pain in his liver.

wrong.

Now, even my heart, spleen, lungs and kidneys hurt.

"Forget it, don't think about it."

want to.

Let the readers think for themselves.

He is only responsible for copying.

What readers think is up to them.
