"What?! Is Chu Tiankuo the author of "Ghost Blowing the Lamp"?" Jiang Chuan from the High School Affiliated to Normal University also received a call from Lin Yang.
After hearing the news, I was stunned.
"It's impossible, how is it possible?" He refused to believe it.
"Ghost Blowing the Lamp" is also very popular in their school. After all, it is indeed a good-looking book.
However, he never expected that the book was actually written by Xiang Nan.
"It's true, it's confirmed. Publishers have come to the school." Lin Yang explained, "They still have to spend one million to buy his books."
"..." Jiang Chuan was speechless for a long time after hearing this.
Xiang Nan is already great enough. He has good academic performance and was recommended to Peking University. He also won full marks and a special award in the International Olympiad. He is also versatile and can write and draw... In terms of personal qualities, he is much better than him.
The only thing he can comfort himself about is that Xiang Nan's family background is not as good as his, which allows him to maintain a little self-esteem.
But now that he heard that Xiang Nan was the author of "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" and that the publisher wanted to pay 1 million to buy the book, his only confidence was gone.
"Jiang Chuan, weren't you curious before about how someone from a family like Chu Tiankuo's could afford Japanese food and concert tickets?" Lin Yang added, "It turns out that Chu Tiankuo had already started writing a book at that time. "
After Jiang Chuan heard this, he smiled bitterly.
He really thought something was wrong with Xiang Nan at the time. After all, his family was so poor, how could he afford Japanese food and tickets.
But he didn't expect that he would use the heart of a villain to judge the heart of a gentleman. Since then, I have been making money writing books. Moreover, I still write books and study at the same time.
While serializing, he got first place in the exam... I can't say enough about him. He was so strong that he didn't have any resentment at all for losing.
I'm convinced, and I'm in awe!
…
Entering September, the first part of the "Ghost Blowing Lamp" series, "Jingjue Ancient City", is officially on sale.
The first printing was 500,000 copies. After it was launched on the market, it was very popular among readers and the sales volume was very good.
On the one hand, the popularity of Touzan's "Ghost Blowing Lamp" has made this IP very famous. When people buy books, they naturally give priority to famous ones;
On the one hand, compared to the serialized version of "Ghost Blowing Out the Lamp", the stand-alone version of "Ghost Blows Out the Lamp" has more content, which is still attractive to book lovers.
On the other hand, as a long-established publishing house, People's Literature Publishing House has very wide sales channels, and it has also made great efforts to market "Ghost Blowing the Lamp".
Therefore, the first printing of 500,000 copies was sold out within a month of its release. Xide People's Literature Publishing House quickly printed an additional 300,000 copies, and Xiang Nan naturally got an extra share of the royalties.
The popularity of "Ghost Blows Out the Lamp" has also attracted media attention.
Or, it can also be said that People's Literature Publishing House used the media to build momentum for the sales of "Ghost Blowing the Lamp".
As for media reports, they naturally pick out newsworthy highlights for publicity.
In this way, Xiang Nan caught their eyes and attracted their attention.
A senior high school student, under 18, a master of science, a genius in mathematics, an Olympiad champion, recommended to Peking University, from a poor family, with a million-dollar book... When these elements are put together, it is really worth writing about.
For a time, all major media, both print media and online media, reported on Xiang Nan.
"Written by a master of science in the third year of high school, one book sold for one million!"
"A noble son comes from a poor family! A top student in the senior year of high school writes a best-selling book, with a total sales volume of over one million copies nationwide!"
“The senior high school student excelled in both arts and sciences, won the Olympiad in science, and wrote a million-selling book in liberal arts.”
With extensive media coverage, Xiang Nan's fame has also grown, attracting local media in Shanhai City to interview and report on Xiang Nan.
For a time, more and more people knew his name.
…
"Qianxi, your classmate is really amazing. You're so young and you've already earned more than two million." Ling Xiangqian's mother Tian Miao couldn't help but look at her daughter after watching the news and said, "You must have I am content with half of what others give me.”
"Mom, do you really think he is awesome?" Ling Xiangqian asked with a smile.
"Of course, isn't this amazing? He is a master of arts and sciences before he is eighteen years old. He is really a genius." Tian Miaodu said with emotion, "If you could be so good, I would wake up laughing even in my dreams."
"Mom, he is a real genius, I can't compare to him." Ling Xiangqian said sincerely.
"Then we can't just let it go. We still have to learn from him." Tian Miao urged her daughter again.
"I know, don't worry, I have always learned from him." Ling Xiangqian immediately smiled.
"Well, that's pretty much it." Tian Miao nodded.
…
Due to numerous media reports, Xiang Nan's popularity has increased sharply, and he has become a shining golden brand of Zhenhua.
To this end, Director Pan also published a special interview report of Xiang Nan on the homepage of the school's official website to attract more outstanding students to apply for Zhenhua.
The attitudes of other teachers towards Xiang Nan have also undergone subtle changes.
Before, he was just a good student who was liked by the teacher. Now, in addition to liking him, there is also a hint of respect and pampering.
After all, Xiang Nan is really outstanding and is the best among the students they have ever taught. Such students are destined to be successful in the future.
As teachers, they naturally feel proud.
However, Xiang Nan did not become distracted by this. To be honest, this achievement is really nothing to him. He is a man destined to make a name for himself, and now he is just getting started.
Therefore, he was not arrogant at all, but consistently adhered to the principle of "being low-key and doing things high-key". Listen carefully in class, complete your homework after class, eat as usual, study by yourself as usual...it's the same as before becoming famous.
This made many people see it and admire it.
"Tiankuo, you are really good. I thought that after you became famous, you would stop eating with us." Weekend said with a smile.
"Yeah, I thought you would go to the teachers' cafeteria to eat." Feng Guoxin also said with a smile.
"I heard that the food in the teachers' cafeteria is better than that in the student cafeteria, and they also sell large elbows at noon." Tang Weihong also laughed.
"I've never been there before." Xiang Nan waved his hand and said with a smile, "No matter how famous you are, you have to eat. I am famous, not an immortal. I haven't learned how to live without grains yet.
Besides, what's the point of eating by yourself? It doesn't taste sweet at all. I still think it’s good for everyone to eat together. You fight for me, which makes you particularly appetizing. "
"You're right, I just like to compete with everyone to eat." Weekend smiled, then took a mouthful of braised pork and threw it into his mouth.
"Your sister, there are only two pieces of braised pork, and you took one away!" Feng Guoxin immediately cursed.
"Then why don't you eat that piece quickly? If you don't eat it, the piece will be gone." Xiang Nan laughed and said, frightening Feng Guoxin to eat the piece quickly.
