Kong Zhou can be considered a celebrity, and he is a relatively famous celebrity. He walks on the fringes of the literary world. People in the literary world regard him as an outsider, but ordinary people regard him as a member of the literary world. After all, this
Guy's news is always related to people in the literary world.
Compared with ordinary literati, Kong Zhou is exposed in the media much more frequently. This is due to the fact that he dares to criticize anyone, or that criticism is wrong. He dares to scold anyone, and is known as Kong Datai.
It's easy to scold people, but it's not easy to scold people in a variety of ways. However, Kong Zhou seems to have a talent that surpasses ordinary people in this aspect, and ordinary people really can't scold him.
This time he scolded Zhang Zhong very openly, saying that Zhang Zhong’s books were only for him to use as toilet paper.
Of course, Zhang Zhong's readers were the first to quit, and rushed to Kong Zhou's whispers to surround him.
【Who is Kong Zhou? Has he published any works? 】
【You are just a dog, you will bite whoever you catch.】
[Who is scolding someone for being bad? Are you scolding Zhang Zhong? Do you deserve it? 】
[Hey, the Kong dog is out to bite again.]
【Whose dog is not tied up and let out to bite someone?】
[I’m sorry, everyone, this is my dog, it’s not tied up, and it’s causing trouble for everyone.]
[Uh... I think you shouldn't scold him. Maybe he is happy hiding behind the keyboard right now, and he just wants us to scold him.]
Someone told the truth. In fact, most people knew that Kong Zhou was probably just trying to gain popularity, but they knew it, but it was really unpleasant to come and scold him.
And Kong Zhou was really hit by the netizen at this time. He was sitting in front of the computer and laughing while reading the comments. Wasn't his purpose just to attract attention? Wasn't his purpose achieved?
After rubbing his hands, he began to fight, and he replied to all the comments in the front row.
[Haha, is this the quality of Zhang Zhong’s fans? Are they full of shit when they come up? 】
[You can tell the author’s level by looking at the readership.]
[Oh, what’s wrong with toilet paper? I just used one, it’s not easy to use, it’s too hard.]
[When does a writer’s work stop being criticized?]
[Ask me what works I have? According to you, if I evaluate the cooling effect of refrigerators, I also need to be able to build refrigerators? 】
…
Zhang Zhong only found out about being scolded by Kong Zhou when Chen Qing called him.
After reading the copy written by Kong Zhou, he then specifically checked who this Kong Zhou was. After seeing the identity of the other literary critic, he couldn't help but shake his head.
Critics always like to teach novelists to write novels, poets to write poems, and essayists to write prose. In fact, it is just like father-in-law teaching people to write zuoai.
I guess Kong Zhou knew Zhang Zhong’s thoughts and might have scolded him again: What’s wrong? If he discriminates against his father-in-law, he is no longer a human being? Can’t his father-in-law teach others how to do things?
Compared to Kong Zhou's copywriting, Zhang Zhong became a little more interested in Lin Ai's words.
Maybe it's because I didn't have much contact with the literary and artistic circles before going to Earth, so I didn't know that the literati in their world valued literary genres so much.
Although there are school disputes on earth, generally speaking, as long as there are no particularly tit-for-tat and incompatible views, there will be no such obvious conflicts between schools. Everyone generally talks about their own good and will not openly talk about others.
Difference.
The current genre situation in the world is a bit like China in the early 20th century, quite chaotic.
However, Zhang Zhong is not willing to participate in it. After all, there is no such thing as a genre in his works, and they all have some influence on them.
Maybe today he is still writing a new historical novel, tomorrow he will write realism, and a few days later he will write romanticism, and finally stream of consciousness and magical realism will join the battle.
After thinking about it, he ignored what Lin Ai and Kong Zhou said. Like Lin Ai, it was basically impossible for him to change his opinion that he had insisted on for so many years, so it was useless no matter how much he said.
As for Kong Zhou, it was even more of a waste of time. It is said that this guy scolded everyone except the Water God Liu Yuan. He probably also knew that Liu Yuan's fighting power was stronger than him.
Moreover, Liu Yuan spent time online every day and had time to deal with him, but Zhang Zhong couldn't. He still had many things to do, so there was no need to waste time on Kong Zhou.
Due to Zhang Zhong's cold treatment, things tended to fade away. The sales volume of "Lotus Leaf Collection" was not affected by this wave of public opinion. It was still very strong, with sales of nearly two million in one week, making it the new book of the year.
It ranks fifth on the best-selling list, and two of the top four books are Zhang Zhong's own books, the first-place "Flowers for Alger" and the second-place "Murder on the Orient Express."
Martial arts master Qi Feng's new book "The Swordsmith" in February ranked third, and thriller master Lin Hehe's new book "The Hanging Coffin" ranked fourth.
But looking at the current momentum, it won't take long for "Lotus Leaf Collection" to surpass its previous two books in sales and become third.
…
"Thanks to you this time, my small newspaper office is very proud. Yesterday I went home, and my old man pulled me and kept laughing. He probably didn't expect that his son would have such a day."
The sales of "Lotus Leaf Collection" are booming. The happiest person is not Zhang Zhong, but Lin Lin. This guy keeps an eye on the sales every day. Basically, as soon as the sales come out that day, he will call Zhang Zhong to tell him the good news.
At the beginning, Zhang Zhong smiled at him, but now he doesn't want to talk to him at all.
"I suggest you tell me your sales volume every month next time. If you tell me every day, it won't bother you."
"It's not annoying! How could it be annoying?"
"You -" Zhang Zhong was about to say something to Lin Lin, but another call came, so he said to Lin Lin, "There is a call, I will hang up first."
After hanging up Lin Lin's call, he answered another call. Chen Qing's voice came from the other end of the phone, "Teacher Zhang, that guy Kong Zhou scolded you again."
Zhang Zhong lamented, and he suddenly felt that it was not that uncomfortable to answer Lin Lin's call, at least he wouldn't be like Chen Qing, who would be scolded when he called.
"Why are you scolding me again?" Zhang Zhong asked.
"The content of the criticism this time was a bit richer. I almost picked out all the poems in "The Collection of Lotus Leaves" and criticized it."
Zhang Chong smiled and said, "This guy is quite willing to put in the effort."
"No, it's not easy to be a critic."
"Okay, I understand, I'll go take a look."
After talking to Chen Qing, Zhang Zhong looked for articles on the Internet where Kong Zhou criticized him. Sure enough, the article was much longer this time, from "error" to "out of chapter", and from "out of chapter" to "men".
"Previously", it seems that nothing was omitted, and I scolded them all.
"Pretentious, mysterious, sad..."
They are probably all these words, but Zhang Zhong has learned a lot of idioms.
After returning from Kong Zhou's whisper, Zhang Zhong himself posted a post. Unlike Kong Zhou's long speech, Zhang Zhong only posted one sentence.
"I heard that Mr. Kong Zhou sent my "Lotus Leaves Collection" into the toilet last time. It seems that in order to scold me this time, he went out to buy another copy. It was really a waste of money."
