Chapter 935: Soaring Sales(1/2)

After two days of absence, Zhang Chu did not delay many courses, but some teachers gave lectures very fast, copying notes is no longer as fast as typing, and a complicated word is not as fast as typing a keyboard.

When he filled all the notes, it was already past ten o'clock at night, and his neck and back were hurting a little.

"It's finally done, and it's two years to graduate, it's really too long!"

It's only the second semester of the sophomore year, and there should be no classes in the second semester of the senior year. It's better to stick to it until then. You don't have to consider the situation of enrolling in graduate school or postgraduate entrance examinations and you will naturally be liberated.

To the point where he is, he doesn’t need to go out to work at all. Writing a book well is the best job!

Zhang Chu got up and pulled off a banana from the fruit plate on the table next to him, peeled it and started eating it.

Now that there are no bells, Matcha is even more elusive, and his favorite thing to do is hide and seek.

But Zhang Chu is not at ease now to find it. The yard is so big, it is very difficult to find it. It might as well wait for it to come out by yourself when it is tired of playing.

He threw the banana peel into the trash can with great accuracy, and then celebrated himself excitedly, "What a pity! If you record this video, it will be a collection of cool and handsome appearances."

Back at the front of the desk, he put the book, notebook and printed PPT into his backpack, and then pressed the boot button on the host to read the news online.

The computer boots up very quickly, and it doesn't get stuck at all when playing games, and the effect of watching videos is also very good.

Originally, Zhang Chu was going to play games for a while, but after opening steam, he looked at the column of games but didn’t know what to play. Many games just started with the beginning, and if you have enough money, you can buy them at will!

"Forget it, I have to go to school tomorrow. It's better to play this game on ps4."

There are a lot of news on the Internet, but most of them have nothing to do with him, and only a small number of them mentioned his name directly or indirectly.

[New Cannes films are released one after another, "Farewell My Concubine" continues to be added!]

[Released simultaneously around the world, "Ghost Blows Out the Light" will lead global audiences to experience tomb robbery experience this summer!]

[Zhang Chu's new work "The Lord of the Rings" has attracted the attention of Hollywood companies, and Paramount intends to invest hundreds of millions of dollars to create a fantasy classic!]

["Farewell My Concubine" has no special momentum and has jumped to the top of the odds list of this year's Cannes Film Festival!]

[Hollywood director Di Cardo praised "Farewell My Concubine" and said it was the best film in the last decade!]

[Shocked! "Farewell My Concubine" was actually filmed at Mei Lanfang's former residence!]

[Cannes' first poster of "Pi's Fantasy Drift" will be released, and the boy and tiger will appear together. It will be released in November in North America, and it is expected to be synchronized in China.]

When Zhang Chu saw the news title of the Young Pie, he remembered that he had forgotten the movie!

Although I went to the set to see how Dahai was filmed, I have never seen this poster.

Even if the director is the same person, but the actors and production teams are different, the posters must be different.

He clicked on the news with his mouse and found that the poster was very interesting, and even had the ancient Taoist principle of yin and yang balance.

A tiger was half-squatting in the cabin, and its open mouth could see its sharp teeth; a naked upper body stood on the canvas at the bow of the boat, and each person and tiger looked at the distance with bright eyes!

The whole picture looks harmonious and heart-wrenching, emphasizing the opposition and conflict in life and complement each other, with a different kind of balanced beauty.

If its poster is "The tiger pounces on the teenager, the teenager is brave" or "the boat capsizes, the teenager and the tiger both struggle in the sea", then it will be a complete failure because it destroys this delicate and lasting balance.

The poster was greatly restored, which made Zhang Chu breathe a sigh of relief.

Although the starring actor is an Indian teenager, since the director and original work of the movie are both Chinese, the movie "Pi" has received a lot of attention in China.

The film company is Hollywood giant Warner Bros. It is not Chinese film company Huayi Brothers. Their company is not very popular on Weibo. The only time it is popular is probably being scolded by movie fans.

This time, with the poster released in Cannes with "Boy Pi", they also updated the ultra-clear and watermark-free version on social media such as Weibo, instagram, etc., so that netizens who missed the news can take a look!

"Wow, God restored! It's exactly the same as inside!"

"This is better than the picture I imagined when I read a book. Director Li An is so awesome!"

"Is this tiger real? I'm a little worried about that little actor. What if something goes wrong during the filming?"

"Just for this poster, I want to buy a ticket to take a look. This tiger doesn't eat it!"

"Have any class representatives who have seen it give me a brief introduction to the plot? If I go now, is it still too late?"

"Sure enough, the Chinese director understands more clearly what he wants to express. Unfortunately, there is still half a year left, which is really awesome."

"This poster alone won. Could it be that the whole movie was drifting on the sea, right?"

"I haven't seen it, but this poster looks very dramatic. I want to see the boy fighting wits and tigers on such a small boat. I've booked it, take a look!"

"I originally read the introduction and said that it was a story about an Indian, but I didn't read it. Now I regret it so I quickly make up for this book."

"Why don't you just write a Chinese boy? This way the movie will be perfect! The original work of a Chinese actor, a Chinese director, and a Chinese writer."

"If it were Chinese, the sect would probably be caught if it could not float to the sea. He had to explain why there was a tiger, which was a national-level protected animal!"

Zhang Chu couldn't help laughing as he looked at the comments from netizens. The expectations of these viewers were the best reward for the film.

Some of the problems he considered when he was writing this book, such as completely Chineseizing "Youth Pi".

But in that case, the conflict of faith in the whole work will disappear, and the overall background is difficult to integrate into it, and it is even impossible to explain from the name.

That's why he chose to be consistent with the original work!

The power contained in this story can transcend human race restrictions, survive in adversity, about growth, and about life.

In addition, the discussion about the ending has once again topped Zhihu's popular discussion list. The ending will make readers question everything they have seen before, and then tell them a second cruel story, which makes them scratch their ears and confused.

The most direct reflection of the popularity of movie posters is these discussions, and there are also amazing responses in other fields.

Thanks to this poster released worldwide, the original "Pi's Fantasy Drift" has ushered in a small sales peak, whether in Chinese or English, French, German or Japanese!

The most prominent thing in China is the online bookstore.

On the 24-hour sales list of Dangdang Books, the first place is "The Lord of the Rings", which has just been released not long ago, followed by several other promotional works and new works of the master.

But in the tenth place, "Pi's Fantasy Drift" quietly kicked down another one that became popular through Douyin, leaving a bright red rise↑ arrow!

The spring river is warm and the duck is prophet, and whether a book is best-selling or not can be seen through the Internet.

If it sells well on the Internet, then the sales of physical bookstores will definitely not be too bad.

Now, the book "Youth Pi", which has been completed for almost two years, is no longer known how many times it is to return to the top of the sales list. This long-term sales are enough to surpass 99% of the books on the market!

Like Dangdang Books, this old book is also on the 24-hour sales list in Douban Reading, Amazon and other places.

The movie has not been released yet, and even the trailer has not been released. Just a poster can achieve such a terrifying effect!

Not only those related to the publishing industry, but also Hanlin Cultural Media, Zhang Chu himself was so surprised.

I never expected that things would go so smoothly.

It seems that an excellent poster can bring extraordinary attention!

However, the return to "Boyant Pi" is far less powerful than Zhang Chu's other old book. "Farewell My Concubine" has been in the runner-up position in the 24-hour sales list for two days.

If "The Lord of the Rings" weren't too evil, I'm afraid "Farewell My Concubine" would have to enjoy the taste of champions.

In fact, if "Farewell My Concubine" can win one or two heavyweight awards on the night of the Cannes Film Festival this year's closing ceremony and award ceremony, then it will not be difficult to overturn "The Lord of the Rings"!

What we are talking about here is of course sales in China. Globally, "Farewell My Concubine" does not have an English version, and it cannot be compared with "The Lord of the Rings" and "The Young Pi".

It is like a diamond, and after being polished it becomes a shiny diamond.

Although "The Lord of the Rings" and "The Young Pi" are written by Chinese writers, they tell stories about foreigners and even another world. "Farewell My Concubine" tells stories about Chinese people. It combines characters, plots with history, making the Chinese very friendly after watching them.

Since the opening of the Cannes Film Festival, the most popular reports in entertainment news are about "Farewell My Concubine", who asked it to bring honor to Chinese-language films on the other side of the earth!

All kinds of news are sent back, and even a little sesame thing can be posted separately.

As long as you read news in your daily life, even if you don’t pay attention to entertainment news, the news media will actively push it to readers.

After being bombarded by these news one after another, even passers-by who didn't care about this subject were brainwashed successfully, thinking that not reading the same name would be a big loss.

This is not an effect that Hanlin Cultural Media or Nanhai Publishing Company can achieve, but a general trend!

Although there is news about "Ghost Blows Out the Light", it is probably because it was the most popular in the early stage, and it was only the sales volume and attention of the market. So it was found news of global publishers in Cannes. The news that the movie was well received did not help it make much progress in book sales.

It is very difficult to go from 8 million to 10 million. The other few books have hit 5 million from 3 million. The difficulty of both sides is not consistent.

"Ghost Blows Out the Light" is a movie that fans feed back, while "Farewell My Concubine" is a movie that feeds back the original work.

In this May, Zhang Chu is the most concerned writer, not only at home, but also around the world!

His sales have ushered in a period of rapid growth, which has made Nanhai Publishing Company happy.

I thought it would be good if the new book "The Lord of the Rings" could be sold, but I didn't expect that several of his old books would take turns to cheat the zombies, and they were very slaughtering the list.

The movie is so strong before it is released. When it wins the prize and is released, it will probably be so strong that the rest of them lose confidence in competition!

Chen Yi is a very ordinary graduate student. He doesn't like reading books very much. He is a standard movie fan and has a special love for dramas. He is fascinated by both Chinese-language movies and movies from other parts of the world.

In order to understand those ancient and niche English films, he even improved his English ability to the level of not requiring subtitles, and listed all filmmakers, awards from various periods, and representative works of each style.

However, in recent years, special effects blockbusters, action movies and comedy have occupied the majority of movies, and fewer and fewer feature films with connotation. Even Oscars and the three major European film festivals are not as good as before.

Fortunately, there are countless excellent works in the movie Curtain. Even if he doesn’t watch works in recent years, he just watches old movies in the past, and probably can’t finish so many in his life.

"Oh, the dramas of the last century are really great. Any work you can win an Oscar. There are too few good movies in China!"

Chen Yi posted on the movie forum and chatted with netizens with the same hobbies. He had already lost confidence in domestic movies.

"There are few good movies, but not without them. Lao Shen, do you know the recent "Farewell My Concubine"? It's on the news every day, and people almost all gave positive reviews from film reviewers. This should be a good movie."

Because Chen Yi has too many views, all kinds of movies can be said very well. Many netizens think that he must be a middle-aged man, and watching movies takes time.
