Chapter 910 Dominate the world
There are many doubts inside, and there are too many things waiting for readers to discover.
Where is Gushan and what is the Battle of the Five Armies? Bilbo picked up the Lord of the Ring from a strange creature. This world called Middle Earth has bred such a wonderful and complete history!
It is different from traditional networks, or even in the opposite direction.
However, Zhang Chu made "The Lord of the Rings" accepted by netizens. As long as you can like a little more content, you will like it.
This is not much like his previous style. It is more of an academic work with stories and plots than a popular one.
The structure is very rigorous, the progress of the chapter is under control, the history of the characters is told in a leisurely manner, the ideas are very clear, and the whole clues are numerous but not disordered. As long as you keep reading, you can understand the story in it!
Many people only want to understand the plot behind the scenes after reading books or movies, and say they can’t understand them.
If you can really understand it in such a short time, that would be a hell!
No work can let you know everything that comes later at the beginning, even if it has put the ending in front of you, the cause and passage need to be slowly unfolded.
There are many fantasy themes, surreal elements or fantasy elements, and a grand story is created in this superficial world!
It’s just that the Lord of the Rings can justify itself, and the strange race of the Hobbit created can make people believe that it is true in all aspects, and it has a long history and can be traced back many, many years ago.
Personal heroism is inevitable in fantasy, even Harry Potter is the savior of the magic world and the nemesis of Mr. Indescribable.
In "The Lord of the Rings", the protagonist is just a hobbit. This dwarf with big feet does not seem to have agility, no superb witchcraft, and has no advantage in strategy. It is extremely ordinary!
If he has any advantages, it may be that he has a legendary uncle who inherited the Supreme Lord of the Ring from his uncle.
Many readers are looking forward to Frodo becoming stronger and able to grow up when he arrives at the Volcano of Mordor and kill the Demon King Sauron directly, so there is no need to destroy the Lord of the Ring.
With such a powerful ring and the company of Gandalf, a wizard from the famous mainland, this is an opportunity!
Seize the opportunity and find several adventures on the road, and your cultivation and combat power will rise.
Zhang Chu did not follow the ideas of this group of people. Frodo mainly resisted the temptation of the Lord of the Ring, and had a very strong willpower. At the other time, it was probably like a drag. By the end of the trilogy, he still fought against the Five Slags.
The story is surprisingly slow and there are very few dialogues. He sings at any time. There are so many descriptive words that are outrageous, and it is often just a few pages of environmental description!
If they knew that this was the result of Zhang Chu's condensed content, they would not know what they would feel.
Zhang Chu himself is plot control, and for him plot is the most important thing in a work, character image and environmental description are slightly secondary.
He always relies on the ups and downs of the plot to attract readers, but this time he actually faced his weaknesses.
It's fantasy, but if the identities of the characters in it are slightly changed, it's not impossible to regard them as history.
There are very few fantasy factors inside. Those extremely vicious ring spirits actually rode horses to search for the rings everywhere. The wizard holding the staff did not use spells but wanted to fight in close combat. There seemed to be no problem with the elves to replace them with a race that was good at archery.
Zhang Chu was not sure that this would become a classic work. It is hard to say whether "The Lord of the Rings" can take on this title.
However, in the modern fast-paced society, it is very pleasant to stop and read such a work with full pace!
It is not obscure, but it is still extremely grand.
Zhang Chu faced his shortcomings and also magnified his advantages.
He injected wonderfulness and excitement into the text, bringing some legendary color to Frodo and his group's journey to the east.
Use the charm of the beginning and end of the poem and the vivid details to describe it. Although the characters don’t have many dialogues, those gorgeous and ups and downs are like the singing of a medieval European minstrel.
Although the movie trilogy shot by Peter Jackson is a classic film history, there are many deletes in it.
Many old readers were joking at the beginning. If they really wanted to get these plots at a high price, it would probably take 10 hours to complete the first one!
Now, what Zhang Chu has to do is promote the Lord of the Rings in Cannes.
When celebrities from all walks of life compete to be exposed in the film and television sectors and the entertainment sectors, the attention of the cultural sector and the reading sector was put on Zhang Chu.
The praises of a hundred literary critics are not as good as a movie, so his purpose is naturally clear when he goes to Cannes, such a holy place for film art to promote books!
When watching movies, 80% are for enjoyment; when reading books, 80% are for thinking.
Now the staff of Random House have built a small press conference on the sidewalk outside the hotel. The poster of "The Lord of the Rings" is hung on both sides, and many passers-by and reporters are watching it.
Many of them even use their mobile phones to capture time, for fear that they will forget it later!
"I have to say that this book is very well written. Even if it looks a little old, readers have already told you how popular it is!"
The long-lost Blair did not miss his trip to Cannes. One of him was to promote "The Lord of the Rings" and the other was to "The Boy Pi".
Director Li An’s Young Pi will also release posters and trailers here. Since that is the case, many people will definitely be interested in the original work of the movie.
There has been news from the start of the filming to the completion of the filming before, but the pictures were limited, so I should look at the finished products given by the crew.
Zhang Chu stretched, and he smiled and said, "What good news did you bring? Let me be happy, it's more refreshing than drinking coffee."
"In the past 24 hours, your Lord of the Rings is the most downloaded e-book work in the world. Did you know that it has won the e-book sales list on all Amazon's global sites?"
"Well, I really don't know about this. Every country has an Amazon website?"
Blair shook his head: "No, no, no, it is impossible to have it in every country, it is the main countries. North America has the United States, Canada, Central America and South America has Brazil and Mexico, Europe has the United Kingdom, Germany, France, Spain, Italy, the Netherlands, Asia has China, Japan, India, and Australia of course. If they are users of other countries, they will choose to download e-books in the nearest country or the United States, and they can also provide services."
"The problem is that we have released the English version, Chinese version, French version, and German version, and so many people have bought e-books? Can they understand it after they buy it?"
Zhang Chu’s doubts are here. He thought that several major English-speaking countries won the championship, but he didn’t expect that the whole world was so powerful.
"There are so many people, otherwise why do you say you are amazing? There will always be some people in a country that can understand English. Look at Singapore, the download volume of the English version and the Chinese version is almost the same. On the Amazon e-book sales list of other countries, the Chinese version of "The Lord of the Rings" also has good rankings, but the gap with the English version is a bit big!"

Today I tracked the Yangtze River Bridge incident in my hometown for one day. At night, I was talking to my friends about the news reveals of CCTV ten years ago, and I felt a little uncomfortable.
Although I am not in my hometown for the time being, my family is all there, and they all say they dare not take the bus recently.
Chapter completed!
