The Great Era of Rebirth: 1993 Chapter 866

   After going around for a few hours, the non-stop Old Chen finally came to the capital and walked into the study of an old friend.

   "Old Chen, you've been running around all day, do you want to rest for a while?" Zouping's wife asked with concern.

   "No, no, I slept all the way on the plane, and now I'm in good spirits." The two have known each other for many years, and Lao Chen didn't have so many politenesses. When he entered the study, he started looking for a copy of the manuscript from Zouping's mouth.

   "Hey, okay, then you're busy, go to rest by yourself when you're tired, and I'll go out and buy some food." After pouring a cup of tea for Lao Chen, Zouping's wife closed the study door and left.

The    manuscript was easy to find, it was on the desk, aiming at the target, Lao Chen rushed to the front in three steps.

   "The world..."

   Looking at the cover of the manuscript copy, Lao Chen couldn't help whispering the name of the book.

   "Simple and meaningful."

  Old Chen stared at the three words "human world" for a long time. After giving a five-word evaluation, he couldn't wait to sit down in the next second and began to read.

  Chapters 1 to 5 are the introduction and preface of the whole book, explaining the scene, the main characters and characters, and the beginning of the story.

   After reading the first five chapters, Lao Chen paused for a while and couldn't help drinking a sip of tea. The literati understands the literati, and the literati understands the quality of the writing.

   After reading only 5 chapters, Lao Chen dreamed back to the age of the book, with a sense of substitution and a strong emotional narrative.

  Old Chen understands that this beginning is very difficult, and at first glance, it is hard work. Every word, every sentence, and every character is extremely exciting and vivid, and it is very level.

   After drinking half a cup of tea in one breath, Lao Chen entered the book world again, and then he got out of control.

  The sun sets, the moon rises, and the food on the table outside is steaming from steam to cool as water, and Lao Chen has never been moved.

   After 11pm, Zouping came back.

   As soon as he entered the door, Zouping's wife asked in a low voice, "You are not too young, how did you work overtime to this point?"

  Zou Ping changed his shoes: "The office is busy, which is a good thing."

   Wife pours a glass of water: "Busy" in the world"? This book is so good?"

  Zou Ping nodded: "Okay, it's rare! I've worked in the club for decades, and this is the first time I've seen a book with a consistent reputation."

   His wife came over and asked, "I also read a little bit today. You said this book was really written by that young man? So young, why is it so powerful?"

  Zou Ping sighed with emotion: "You shouldn't have such doubts, the world in the book takes place in the small towns and villages around him, it can't be faked.

   In addition, he has a simple background, as clean as white paper, and his style of writing is as always, open-minded, simple and powerful! If others had such half of the writing power, he would have become famous long ago, and it is impossible to hide behind the scenes.

  This person, no one can escape fame and fortune, this is also the reason that although someone attacked him before, he never questioned whether it was written by him.

   Let me say it again, this "world" is destined to go down in history, have you ever seen a test taker who cheated in the examination room get a higher score than the one who was copied?"

   "Yo! You're protecting yourself. I used to think that you didn't like seeing people." Unable to stand up, Zouping's wife simply found another way to ridicule her husband.

  Zou Ping shook his head: "The past goes back to the past, and the present goes back to the present, it's not the same thing, I'll serve it now."

   "Xingxingxing, I know you are convinced by a young man, okay!"

   Wife babbled: "I don't doubt it, I just saw that Lao Chen never came out as soon as he went in this afternoon! The food is on the table, so I can't call him for fear of disturbing him."

Zou Ping glanced at the four dishes on the table, and sighed for a long time: "I love to meet good talents and chess opponents, and I am most afraid of being born and born. After reading "The World", Lao Chen estimates that he will have to go back to his hometown in Shaanxi to retreat for several years. already."

   Wife asked: "What about this meal?"

   Zouping said: "Go and rest, I'll be waiting here."

   "Okay, I'm going to sleep." My wife didn't know much about the affairs between literati, so she went to sleep with her granddaughter next door.

  After two o'clock in the morning, Lao Chen came out, and his face, which was not young, was even less young tonight, adding many wrinkles.

   "You're hungry, let's eat first." Zouping, who was watching TV, got up from the sofa to say hello.

   "Why don't you go to sleep?"

  Chen washed his hands and went to the table.

   "I'm old, I don't get much sleep when I lie down all night, and it's not bad if I don't sleep." Zouping poured him a glass of soju, made a glass of his own, and stayed by the side.

   "How do you feel?" Touch and take a sip, Zouping asked.

  Old Chen put a peanut in his mouth, chewed it slowly, and swallowed it for a long time before he let out a bitter breath:

   "It's going to be hard for me in my life."

   Hearing this sincere self-evaluation, Zouping was not comforted. Although the two are close friends, it is really difficult for Lao Chen to write such a work in his life.

  Old Chen spontaneously picked up the glass, touched Zouping again, and said slowly, "It's a worthwhile trip, finish this glass for the prosperous world."

  Zou Ping understands what Lao Chen means, knows that he sympathizes with each other, and knows that he is highly praising the level of "human world".

   Tao Ge called.

   picked up the phone, Zhang Xuan's first sentence asked: "It's been so long, why haven't you left the capital for Singapore?"

   Tao Ge said happily: "Sis is happy, so she postponed the trip."

   Then she added: "You can rest assured, the sister in Southeast Asia is always paying attention. The problem is not big at present, and the situation is developing as expected."

   Zhang Xuan is really not worried about the situation in Southeast Asia.

   If something goes wrong, it is estimated that these sisters are more anxious than herself. At that time, there is no need to hurry, and she will go on her own.

   If it goes on like this, that **** Xinxin will be a bit miserable, and will have to wait for her hair in the Shanghai market.

  Tao Ge didn't have time to think about what he was thinking, and added: "Just now, the result came out."

  's mindless sentence, Zhang Xuan was a little confused, "What's the result?"

  Tao Ge spit out four words: "Subscription data."

   Zhang Xuan asked nervously, "You mean the subscription data of Xinhua Bookstore?"

  Tao Ge said: "Yes, the first subscription data of Xinhua Bookstore is now in my hands."

   Zhang Xuan hurriedly asked: "How much?"

   Tao Ge smiled and said, "I've never seen you so anxious before, are you afraid of bad data?"

   Zhang Xuan said: "That's natural, don't you know how much effort I spent on this book?"

   Hearing this, Tao Ge stopped selling off, looked down at the data, and muttered: "612317 volumes."

   Zhang Xuan was taken aback and exclaimed in disbelief: "Did you make a mistake? So many? 610,000 copies? Breaking through 600,000?"

  Tao Ge shook his hair and teased, "Is there a lot of books written in Wangwu Ershan?"

   Zhang Xuan shot back: "Really? You should have a sense of accomplishment when you think about it now?

  610,000 copies, this is inlaid with gold, you have made a lot of money. "

  Tao Ge lifted Erlang's legs: "Public property, and it doesn't belong to my sister alone, what is there to make a lot of money."

   Zhang Xuan: "."

  Tao Ge lowered his voice and asked mysteriously, "Do you know what expression President Hong had when he saw this subscription data?"

   Zhang Xuan asked: "What expression?"

   Tao Ge said: "It's like being drunk, and your face is flushed."

   Zhang Xuan said cheerfully: "What should I do? Hearing your words, I'm feeling a little flabbergasted now."

   Tao Ge said: "Actually, the 610,000-volume collection was beyond everyone's expectations, but it made sense.

From "The Sound of the Wind" to "Hidden", to "Harry Potter", "A Clockwork Girl" and "A Song of Ice and Fire", you have already told the world with iron-like facts that any organization that is involved with you , followed by a windfall.

   So the subscription data of your new book can rise, and it is not difficult to accept that it can reach an astonishing 610,000 copies.

not to mention…"

At this point, Tao Ge took a sip and continued: "What's more, you have made a name for yourself abroad in recent years, but you haven't published a new book in China for 2 years. Many young people in China who regard you as their idol are holding back. Anger, they are all waiting for this moment, it is a matter of course that there is such a big outbreak."

   Zhang Xuan grinned: "Ouch! No matter how much you praise me, I won't be a little bit floating, but floating up to the sky."

  Tao Ge changed his sitting position gracefully, “People's Wen

  The first subscription data reserved before learning was created by your "hidden", 380,000 copies.

  After two years, you have set a new record and almost doubled it. This is a great achievement. Sister allows you to float for a while. "

   Without waiting for a reply, Tao Ge continued: "As usual, we held a new book subscription meeting, and the heads of Xinhua Bookstores from various provinces and cities gathered together to show them the opening of the article.

   The response was very enthusiastic. Before we could mobilize, they all reported the number of words for subscription. "

   Zhang Xuan was very proud in his heart: "Isn't your people's literature very worry-free when you meet a big-name and powerful writer like me?"

Tao Ge rarely refuted him, "It's really worry-free. At the internal meeting, when President Hong proposed to print 1.2 million copies for the first time, the top executives in the company put forward different views, and they all believed that 1.2 million copies were less, and finally the first print was hard. Shengsheng has improved a lot, reaching an unprecedented 1.5 million copies."

   Hearing 1.5 million copies, Zhang Xuan felt a little pressure, but he still confidently encouraged himself: "Wait and see, the "world" deserves this kind of treatment."

   Tao Ge said: "Sister is waiting, everyone is waiting. I heard from some friends that many newspapers have already started writing, and they have backed up two drafts."

   Zhang Xuan was surprised: "Two drafts?"

  Tao Ge helped him answer: "One is a praise draft for riding the wind, and the other is prepared to prevent you from encountering "Waterloo"."

   Zhang Xuan was depressed, "These are all small newspapers, it's too blind to see."

   Tao Ge said: "It is indeed a small newspaper, they have no way to get your copy, so they can only speculate.

   The big unit that has a close relationship with us is different. I got some manuscripts of the "human world" at the first time, and I knew it. "

   In the days to come, the national media and newspapers are swiping the screen.

   is reporting like crazy.

   Crazy coverage of Zhang Xuan's new book "The World".

   "March New Book "The World", The King Returns!"

   "The writer's shocking work in March! The subscription has exceeded one million, which is unprecedented!"

  《Are you ready? The writer is coming with a famous novel in March!》

   "The Last Masterpiece of This Century "The World"!"

   "The New Work of a Generation of Writers "The World"!"

   "The World! The Great Work!"

  "Return to traditional literature, "the world" bravely climbs the highest peak!"

   Niang Xipi's!

   Looking at these titles, Zhang Xuan's old face turned red. I am already embarrassed enough, these newspapers are even more embarrassing than myself!

   It's just a slap in the face, but I'm really proud.

  Why proud?

   That is because there is capital!

   "Human World" has set off a storm in readers and literary circles after the intensive printing and listing! It has caused a frenzy!

   Yes, it's a storm! It's a frenzy!

   Let's talk about readers and market reactions first.

  11 days!

  Only 11 days!

  The first print of 1.5 million copies was quickly sold out as readers lined up to buy it.

   Seeing that the newspapers were reporting that the major Xinhua Bookstores across the country were seriously out of stock, Zhang Xuan, who was pretending to be a fake, went to the Xinhua store near Zhongda University to verify it on the spot.

What    said is true, the Xinhua Bookstore is indeed out of stock, but the long queues outside are still there.

  After visiting the first Xinhua bookstore privately, Zhang Xuan thought about it, afraid that a bookstore would not be representative, so he went to other Xinhua bookstores in Yangcheng.

  The result is the same: out of stock! Seriously out of stock!

   Looking at the noisy picture outside, Zhang Xuan was a little anxious, these are all money!

   These are all their genuine supporters. If genuine books are not available, they will be cheap and pirated.

   called Tao Ge and asked about the situation: "When will your second batch of books come out?"

   Tao Ge replied: "The second batch was released overnight last night, totaling 1.29 million copies.

   is still working overtime and printing, and printing in three shifts.

   In order to compete with pirated books, People's Literature also contacted several large printing houses. "

   Zhang Xuan can hear it

   was silent.

   Seeing that he was emotional, Tao Ge explained: "We knew it would be a big sale, but no one expected it to explode so violently!

   After all, "the world" is traditional literature. Anyone who can read books must have certain experience and cultural background, so we are still conservative in our thinking. "

   Zhang Xuan asked: "What causes it?"

   Tao Ge said: "We sent people to do market research and interviewed a total of 1,300 readers in major Xinhua bookstores across the country.

The information collected by    shows that there are some people who are your **** readers and buy spontaneously, and this type of people is the vast majority.

   There are others who are here for your fame. According to their words, you are so famous all over the world that the literate people around you have bought it, and you are talking about "the world" after dinner. "

   Well, these people are completely paying for vanity, to be arty and to fill the facade.

   While talking, Tao Ge suddenly laughed and saw her say, "Do you know? A small group of people bought your book because of superstition."

   Zhang Xuan's eyes widened: "Superstition?"

   "Yes, it's superstition!"

  Tao Ge said: "But because of superstition, all you buy books are aunts and aunts.

   They say that scholars control evil and suppress ghosts, and they say that you are what Wenqu Xingxing is, and that your book's own literary energy can suppress ghosts and exorcise evil spirits. "

   Zhang Xuan was so stunned, he couldn't do it at all.

  When did you start the business of Zhong Kui?

   For a moment, he thought he had traveled to the world of Liaozhai.

   His grandma's! The imagination of these aunties is really good enough.

   Then he couldn't help but think differently: Now that he is buying his own book, is he going to put his portrait on the door next?

   Like that door **** duo Qin Shubao and Yuchigong?

   Qin Shubao posted it on the left, Yuchi Gong posted it on the right, and hung it by himself, just to form a couplet.

  Tao Ge said: "Now your new books have become a kind of prosperity. You can go and read the newspapers to learn more about the situation."

"to make."

   hung up the phone, Zhang Xuan began to read dozens of newspapers that Shuangling bought.

  The local newspapers were put aside for a while, and he first picked the influential big newspapers to read.

   The first thing I picked was a certain newspaper. There was news on it, and it was still a large-scale editorial on the front page.

  I saw his editor-in-chief published the latest editorial:

   "After reading "The World" overnight, there are four sentences that have been lingering in my mind: self-cultivation rooted in the heart, self-awareness without reminder, freedom based on constraints, and kindness for the sake of others.

   This is the definition of civilization and culture in the book by the writer March.

   Actually, this is the standard set by March for "good people" from the perspective of civilization and culture.

   Starting from such a standard of good people, it is hoped that human nature will be upward and kind, and the society will be beautiful and good. This is the profound connotation of the writer's "cultural view of good people", and it is also the profound charm of "the world".

   "Human World" is of extraordinary significance to Chinese traditional literature; it is like a comet running through the universe, and it is an epoch-making masterpiece.

   The book tells about the social development process in China for more than 30 years, about the trend of the times and the fate of individuals, and about the writer's true feelings.

   It spreads out all this art and eloquently, pointing directly to today's readers, let us see how the country came step by step? What did the fathers experience? At the same time, we think about where our own life should go?

  For readers, "The World" is undoubtedly a review and supplementary lesson for history, which makes us think about where we came from in the long river of time? Where will we go?

  Time never speaks, but it always brings the characters it cares about to the foreground. The characters in "The World" have very distinct characteristics and a very strong sense of immersion. In a certain period of time in history, under a certain scene, if we think from another perspective, we are one of them, what are we experiencing? How to go down? We will get more enlightenment.

   "The World" allows us to put ourselves in the place, to be there, to feel, to comprehend, to know life, society and the times, to know the time

The meaning of   .

   This is a work that retains time, and it will certainly be retained by time. "

  There is a comment in a certain newspaper. Coincidentally, the new X agency also published an editorial today:

   A "human world", half the history of China's reform and opening up, and a picture of human feelings and customs in the world.

  The stories in the book reflect the "big events" that have changed China, such as the construction of the third line, the restoration of the college entrance examination, the return of educated youth to the city, the opening to the outside world, the tide of going abroad, going to the sea, revitalizing the economy, and transforming shanty towns...

   "Human World" blends the times into the characters' daily life and even the turning point of fate, which makes people feel even more emotional. With the ups and downs of the characters' fate, it seems that he has also turned into a book person and experienced a mixed life.

   "Human World" depicts the different strata of Chinese society composed of countless ordinary people with spicy and even cruel brushstrokes.

   Among them, there is a stinging reflection on reality, and there is a deep concern for human nature, but always retains such an attitude: there is hope in pessimism, and there is a rainbow after the storm.

   Over 20 years of reform and opening up, Chinese society has undergone earth-shaking changes. The great river is rushing forward, and the fate of countless families and individuals is also involved in the wave, which resonates with the times. "Human World" has written a vigorous and powerful people's epic by sketching the changes of a family. It not only outlines the life of ordinary people, but also transmits positive values ​​such as dreams and struggles, showing the changes of people, society and thoughts. changes.

  Each of us in the torrent of the times has a particularly profound feeling!

   Tribute to the writer March, the civilian epic created with heart, affection and strength. To the times, to the youth...Historical memory and the good and evil of human nature are forever engraved in the depths of time. "

   After reading these two editorials, the old man who was excited just now suddenly calmed down.

  Tong was always concerned about his Shuangling and nodded, Zhang Xuan walked out with his little hands behind his back, intending to blow the southeast monsoon outside.

   As for other newspapers, I don't want to read them anymore, and I don't need to read them again in a short time.

  The two most authoritative newspapers are participating in this grand event. What an honor!

   Worth it! Everything is silent.

   Shanghai Stock Exchange.

   Mr. Wen, who had the habit of reading newspapers in the morning, put down the newspaper, closed his eyes and thought about it, and later said to his granddaughter Lin Sisisi:

   "Sisi, go buy me a copy of "The World" and come back."

   Lin Sisi, who was also reading the newspaper, raised her head: "Grandpa, it's out of stock now.

   Yesterday afternoon, my cousin and I went to the Xinhua Bookstore, and we waited in line for a long time without buying any books. "

After    finished speaking, Lin Sisi glanced at Yuan Mei opposite.

   Yuan Mei echoed: "I can testify about this. My aunt told us to buy it yesterday morning. We sold a piano between us and it took a little time. We went a little late, and I didn't expect it to be out of stock."

   Mr. Wen didn't say anything.

   At this time, Zhou Rong next to him came over to pour a cup of tea for the old man and said, "Dad, wait a minute, I have already greeted my friends from Xinhua Bookstore, and I will pick up the next batch as soon as it arrives at the store."

   Yuan Mei asked: "Aunt, when will the next batch of goods arrive?"

   Zhou Rong said: "It's about one o'clock in the afternoon, but it's not so sure. You'll call me when it arrives."

  Lin Sisi suddenly interrupted: "If you want me to tell you, don't buy it at all, isn't Huihui a good friend with that great writer?

   Just ask him to give some away, the key is to get him to sign it, then it will be worth the money.

  I don't think he would refuse, after all, Huihui has cooked for him for several years. "

   As soon as these words fell, the huge living room was instantly silent.

   Paused Zhou Rong, who was waiting for a few people to drink tea, and stopped for two seconds before continuing to pour tea.

   Yuan Xiao, who knew something, blinked hard at his cousin Lin Sisi, his eyes seemed to say: You are a fool, don't say it if you don't understand, you are adding fuel to the fire!

   Mr. Wen's eyes were so vicious, he could see the trio's little movements, but there was no movement.

   He picked up the tea and sipped it. After drinking half a cup, Mr. Wen put down the cup and asked, "What is Yuansheng doing now?"

   Zhou Rong replied: "Yuansheng is preparing for the club's affairs."

  Wen Lao

   Father said: "The club's affairs will be slowed down for a while, and let him go to Yangcheng."

   Hearing this, the three people in the living room understood what the old man meant: This is an old problem, and he is jealous of other people's manuscripts.

   Before Zhou Rong could reply, Lin Sisi said, "Grandpa, it is useless for my dad to go.

   Yesterday, my eldest cousin had a long phone call with Du Shuangling about the piano shop. During the period, I talked about the manuscript. It is said that there are only 7 editions in total, and it is almost finished. "

   In fact, there are only 6 editions of the manuscript, but due to insufficient points, Zhang Xuan decided to make another copy by hand, and said that there are 7 editions in total.

   Zhang Xuanming said, 7 editions, then only these 7 editions are valuable. Later, even if you copy more, it will not be worth much. This is the same as stamps.

   Of course, he is not short of money now, and he will not copy it again in the future, and he will not be stupid enough to copy the 8th edition. If he does that, he will smash his own brand.

  After Lin Sisi said this, Zhou Rong and Yuan Mei looked at Mr. Wen at the same time.

  ps: Ask for a subscription! Ask for a monthly pass!
