Although many people on the Internet say that they must go to the cinema to support "Farewell My Concubine", this is only a few situations.

Just like the average income per capita on Weibo is over 10,000 yuan. No matter how you look at it, it is a carnival of a small group of people, which cannot represent the idea of ​​silent majority.

Just listen to it if you don’t have money, don’t take it seriously!

The remarks on the Internet are sometimes completely different from those in reality. Some people and some things are almost discussed online, but in reality no one cares.

Although many netizens said they wanted to go to the cinema to support a movie, the pre-sale situation seemed that these people did not practice their promises. They just said such words when they saw the news. They did have this mentality at that time, but they were forgotten or awakened later.

"Don't worry about the box office of the movie. Didn't we think about it when we were filming it? Just don't lose money, it doesn't matter if we get more or less."

Xu Ji said while pouring Zhang Chu a cup of tea.

This is a very simple tea room, with unknown potted plants placed on the table, embellishing the greenness of the entire room, and a screen separates the quiet space.

Zhang Chu sat on the cushion, and he picked up the small cup in front of him with his hands. The tea fragrance was soaring. After drinking it, he said: "I wasn't too worried, I was just a little curious about the audience's thoughts after seeing the video. This movie should have been seen by more people!"

"Farewell My Concubine" has already started to make a profit before it was released. After the screening rights in various regions around the world were sold, domestic video websites were still competing for it. The final result was only in the past two days. iQiyi bought the exclusive online broadcast rights for a price of up to 8 million yuan.

This is already a sky-high price for an art film.

"There is nothing that should be. We should be grateful to every audience." Xu Ji continued to add tea to the cup, "I specially asked you to come here this time to say goodbye to you. Since the film is about to be released, I, as a director, can be considered a matter of understanding. The weather conditions in Yanjing in recent days have not been very good, so I plan to change places to escape the summer and retire."

Zhang Chu said in surprise: "You are leaving now? Are you not waiting for the movie to premiere?"

Xu Ji smiled and said, "I have attended the premiere in Cannes. I am too lazy to go to this in China. Don't be idle, you kid. I still expect to see your new book when you are away from the summer heat."

"It just so happened that the first draft of my Lord of the Rings has been basically completed. If you settle down, send me the address and I'll send you the book."

"No, can't you buy your books in China?" Xu Ji said exaggeratedly. Zhang Chu may not be the most well-known writer now, but he is definitely the most widely covered book.

In the southeast, northwest and north of the country, his works can be seen in places where there are bookstores, both men, women, and young and old like them!

After being said this by the old man, Zhang Chu couldn't help laughing: "It's a bit exaggerating to say this."

"It's the world of young people now. Your "Lord of Rings" series must be supervised globally. If you shoot it well, you may have a long-term meal ticket in your life. Fortunately, we retired just right, otherwise it would be miserable. By the way, since "Lord of Rings" has been written, "Ghost Blows Out the Light" must be put on the schedule, right?"

As a person in his seventies, although Xu Ji can accept "The Lord of the Rings", what he likes even more are works such as "Ghost Blows Out the Light" and "Farewell My Concubine".

Don’t think that the elderly will not read the stories. It is because they come into contact with more things that they believe in the contents more!

Therefore, the reader group of Zhang Chu's "Ghost Blows Out the Light" is very interesting. Young people like it, the elderly people like it, and middle-aged people also like it. People of all ages can find fun.

Zhang Chu thought for a while and said, "The Ghost Blows Out the Light" should be serialized online. You may publish a piece of content after a single volume. If you find it inconvenient, then listen to the radio station. We also cooperate with the radio station and will find someone to talk about it specifically."

Now there are eight volumes in total, and only two of them have been published.

Originally, he wanted to publish two volumes a year, but was scolded by readers to death. At the same time, the financial supporter's father was also urging him to update more.

So this time I just finished writing it all, and I don’t know when it will be serialized from June.

The remaining words of more than one million words are obviously impossible to explode within a month, even if his hand speed can become a tentacle monster in the online literature circle.

"Who said I can't use electronic reading? My grandson made some reading software for my phone. Many stories in it are quite good. Of course, it's more convenient to have a radio station, and it would be even better if it was changed to storytelling!"

"Or else you would recommend a storyteller to me, and I will be responsible for asking him out of the mountain?" Zhang Chu also felt that the quality of the audio book market is uneven now, so he simply set a benchmark so that those listeners who have been perfunctory by ordinary anchors can wash their ears, and at the same time, they can carry forward the art of storytelling, which is almost lost.

Except for the older generation, most young people around the age of 20 have never heard of this, and they don’t even know what storytelling is.

Of course, Xu Ji was also a little interested: "I'll help you ask first. Others may not be willing to go out now. It would be great to take care of their apprentices at home."

When Zhang Chu heard this, he felt that there was basically no problem.

With Xu Ji's status, can't he even invite a master of storytelling?

Let the masters show it, the story-book style of "Ghost Blows Out the Light" is very suitable for storytelling, and it is simply a natural couple!

Zhang Chu is not in a hurry to continue to update Hu Bayi's story. Since readers have been waiting for so long, there should be no problem waiting for two more days. The focus is on the English version of "The Lord of the Rings".

"Farewell My Concubine" release has nothing to do with Zhang Chu himself, and he doesn't need to go on a show or run a road show, but he just occasionally looks at the box office or comments.

However, Random Bookstore is preparing for the English version of "Farewell My Concubine" only to require Zhang Chu to read it. This book is probably later than the English version of the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy.

The translator they hired is also a veteran, and has translated a large number of works and is experienced.

The most important thing is that there is a reference for the English translation of "Farewell My Concubine". The subtitles of the movie with the same name were created by Zhang Chu himself. Many of the nouns and expressions of them were translated and the story context was extremely clear.

This makes it very easy to save!

There is no need to translate and rack your brains to think about the characters' dialogues, names, etc., these are ready-made things.

Therefore, when writing the book, in addition to Gao Shiyou, the signature of the translation must also be written with Zhang Chu's name!
