Chapter 205 I'm Not Rare About the Topol Literature Award

Because Du Caige sacrificed some interests in exchange for the help of some famous singers and musicians, as well as Yan Yingzhen's shot, the navy disappeared (some ordinary sunspots were still active), the word of mouth of "Fairy Tale" achieved a counter-attack, and online The positive reviews completely outweighed the malicious negative reviews from the few sunspots.

"This song and the MV made my father cry."

"It's not very good, and the single has only been looped more than a hundred times."

"I don't know music, but I just think it sounds good. Then I listened to the other singles of this singer named Jiang Youxi, and the others are hard to say, but there is one "First Time" which is also very good. I will continue to pay attention to this singer. ."

"Speaking of what's going on with this Jiang Youxi, who has been unknown for a long time, and asked the great god Lin Ke to write songs for him without saying a word? Lin Ke was the first to cooperate with him after his comeback. I don't believe there is no inside story. "

"Sister upstairs, do you want to read the book? A sister in our team drew Lin Ke and Jiang Youxi, the beautiful love story of two handsome men. Would you like to join the group?"

Seeing this, Du Caige almost silently picked up the phone and called the police.

Hello, Yao Yaoling, someone is publicly spreading the information of Seqing Silver Grey on the Internet, infringing on the portrait rights of others.

Of course, not everyone gave it a good review, and there are still some fans who think it's not good here or there.

This is normal, even if it is a good song, it is impossible to get 100% praise, so Du Caige doesn't care.

With the fermentation of word of mouth, the sales of "Fairy Tale" also began to rise.

According to the data at noon on May 13, the 24-hour sales rebounded again, with 98,000 copies sold on the entire platform. Although it has not reached the sales volume on the 11th, it is also a good signal.

According to the statistics at noon on May 14, 148,000 copies were sold on the entire platform in 24 hours, an increase of nearly 50%, and Niu Beer made a big hit.

"Fairy Tale" was 5 days from May 9th to the 14th, and the total sales volume on the whole platform reached 536,000 copies. Perhaps this data is not much for a singer of Duan Xiaochen's level, or even just unsatisfactory.

But Jiang Youxi, as a rookie singer, can achieve such a result, it is simply against the sky!

However, after Du Caige's calculations, it is not very realistic for "Fairy Tale" to sell 1 million copies in the first week.

In the next two days, 230,000 copies need to be sold every day, which should be impossible.

However, even if it only sells 150,000 copies per day, the sales of "Fairy Tale" will exceed 800,000 copies in the first week. This is already the data of the singer and queen. Jiang Youxi can definitely break into the second-tier singer with this. ranks.

On the afternoon of the 14th, Du Caige finally completed the soundtrack and handed it over to Liu Zifei.

When they filmed "The Depths of a Hundred Flowers" before, they collected live sound, most of which can be used.

After all, it's just a small 10-minute short.

It is equivalent to going to the convenience store at the door to buy a bottle of soy sauce. What Rolls-Royce do you need if you have a bicycle?

There are still a few places that need to be re-dubbed. Liu Zifei will immediately find someone to make up the recording, and then complete the subtitles. It can be done in at most 2 days, and it can definitely be submitted before the deadline for the event of Zongheng Film and Television.

Before he could relax, the editor's favorite call came after him. "Hemingway, are you busy now? I have something to communicate with you."

Du Caige asked her, "Is it because "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" was on the shelves? You can arrange it, I don't care."

"Okay, then arrange for you to put it on the shelves tomorrow."

"Okay, I'll hang up then, bye bye..."

"Wait acridine!" Zhong Yi was a little annoyed, "There are other things."

Du Caige said helplessly: "You talk."

He really didn't want to gossip with the editor, lest his personal emotions get in the way of his work.

"That's right, you've been busy in a few days. "Zhu Xian" went on sale on the 17th, and then the publishing house arranged a signing for you on the 18th, and you agreed to them, right?"

"Yes,

but……"

Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Zhongyi, "But your author training class is also between the 17th and the 19th, so there will be conflicts. Everyone talks for half an hour. After all, you are the best-selling author this year. So, I just want to ask you, can the signing party be held later?"

Du Caige said helplessly: "I just wanted to say this, but I was interrupted by you. The launch of "Zhu Xian" has been postponed, and the signing ceremony will also be postponed, so you can rest assured that there is no conflict in my timing."

"Scared? Why delay? There is a printing problem?" Zhong Yi seemed more nervous than Du Caige himself.

Du Caige really wanted to tell her, don't talk in such a delicate tone, it's really not used to it.

However, when he opened his mouth, he felt that his friendship with his favorite was not that good, and some words seemed inappropriate to say.

So he sighed and explained: "It's not a printing issue, it's because I got the news that the jury of the Topol Award is considering to include my "The Old Man and the Sea" into this year's Topol Literature Award Best Short Story Competition. So... …”

Before he could finish speaking, an excited scream erupted from the receiver, and Zhong Yi shouted: "Hemingway, you are amazing! My God! My God! Topol Literature Award!"

Du Caige had no choice but to hold the phone away, and after she calmed down a little, she said, "I'm not sure about this yet."

Zhong Yi said excitedly: "Is it the Mo Yu that the old man's words work?"

"Maybe it is," Du Caige couldn't figure it out himself, but it's not surprising that a book like The Old Man and the Sea won an award, after all, it's a masterpiece that won the Nobel Prize on Earth, "In short, Sprout Press I hope to wait until it is confirmed that I am really selected, and then talk to me about the publication of "The Old Man and the Sea", as a bonus of "Zhu Xian" - buy one get one free, the new work of the author selected for the Topol Literature Award, and that's it. Publication has been delayed."

Zhong Yi was silent for a while, only to hear the crackling of the keyboard, and then she said: "I found out that the Bai Yang Literature Award is selected every four years, and this year, 10 novel competitions will be decided before May 31. The shortlisted works of the unit and the 10 short-and-medium story competition units, and then 3 winning works will be selected between September and October."

"Hemingway, I admire you so much, sincerely."

What else can Du Caige say? Can only say: "Thank you."

"I believe "The Old Man and the Sea" will definitely win!"

Du Caige was not so sure.

After all, although the Nobel Prize tycoon Mo Yu highly praised this book, Lu Wu, another Nobel Prize tycoon, obviously disliked this book.

They are the two who stand at the top of the literary world in Dahua, but their literary ideas have always been different, and this time it happened that "The Old Man and the Sea" became the target of their battle.

Du Caige estimated that in order not to offend Mo Yu—after all, Mo Yu used his right of recommendation—“The Old Man and the Sea” would definitely be shortlisted.

But at the same time, in order not to offend Lu Wu, the award committee will not let "The Old Man and the Sea" win.

So be it.

Anyway, he is not very rare.

Well, that's too lemony to say.

He admitted that he was a little rare about the Topol Literature Prize, just a little bit, a little bit rare about the size of a fingernail.

For the next two days, Du Caige was still very busy.

The things that were promised before are about to be fulfilled. Brother Fan took him to several companies in Modu, and also talked to the executives of the two companies in the north to discuss the specific cooperation content.

In the next period of time, Du Caige's schedule will be full, and he will write 9 songs for 7 singers including Duan Xiaochen.

He suddenly felt a lot of pressure.

"I'm very busy. Brother Fan, you should take more responsibility and let me concentrate on writing these songs." Du Caige said calmly.

But Fan Yuhong saw through him almost immediately, and sneered: "Come on, you have written those nine songs long ago, right? I don't believe you haven't written a song in these years, just haven't published it."

Du Caige was speechless for a while, so he could only say, "Then I also have a novel to update."

"Your "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" was on the shelves yesterday, how was the result?"

"Let's be so-so." Du Caige didn't want to pretend to be a beep. The key point was that Brother Fan didn't understand the field of online literature, and if he pretended to be a beep in front of him, Brother Fan didn't understand how awesome it was, and he didn't have a sense of accomplishment.

But earlier, he also received congratulatory calls from Zhong Yi, Shi Kejian, Lu Xudong and others.

"Congratulations, brother/Brother Du/Haida, you have set the highest subscription record on the first day of the founding Chinese website."

How many subscriptions are there?

On the day it was put on the shelves, the collection of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" was close to 1.24 million, and the first order was 280,000, which directly rushed to the top of the best-selling list.

As a comparison, the average subscription for "Zhu Xian" is less than 240,000.

The gap is very obvious. After all, "Ghost Blowing Lamp" has just been launched, and there is still a lot of room for improvement.

The entire online literature circle has exploded, and everyone actually guessed in advance that the results of "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" would be so good that people felt magical, but before the facts came out, after all, it was still speculation and imagination.

But now it is a fact recorded in the history of online literature.

Before "Ghost Blowing the Lamp", the first order record for online novels was 92,000.

Hemingway nearly doubled the record at once.

It's a miracle that's hard to replicate.

"If the previous "Zhu Xian" has become a phenomenon," Lu Xudong, the fat house, was talking on the other end of the phone, "then "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" has become our strategic weapon. There is such a book that is the most popular on the Internet. The best-selling book is here, and we can attract a large number of readers to switch to our founding Chinese website in the next few months or even a year or two and become our paying users."

"If "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" can maintain the current momentum, then your new book can also be of high quality. I guarantee that the founding Chinese website can become the industry leader within two years, and the second to ninth combined can't compete. "

"But seriously," Du Caige shook his head, threw the fat house out, looked at Fan Yuhong and said, "What price did Yan Yingzhen buy your shares in Blue Bird Music at? After I start paying for the manuscript next month, I also want to buy it. One point, I'm very optimistic about Blue Bird Music."
