Suddenly, a new book manuscript sent by Zhang Zhong was received in the mailbox. Chen Qing called Zhang Zhong and sounded very surprised.
Zhang Zhong's itinerary Chen Qing knew that according to the flight time, Zhang Zhong would have just arrived home at most.
"I just got off the plane, and sending emails with just a few clicks of my fingers doesn't have to be done until I get home," Zhang Chong said with a smile.
"Is there any requirement for the release date of this new book?" Chen Qing asked.
"There is no requirement, you can make your own plans. After this book, there may not be any new books for two or three months, so it can be released at any time during these months."
"Okay, I understand, this is a new series." The title of Zhang Zhongfa's previous book was "Blind Spot 1", and it is easy to imagine that there are two, three, and four that follow.
"Yes, a new series." Zhang Chong replied.
"Yes, I understand. I will send the manuscript to the editorial department in a moment."
…
"Blind Spot" is the book written by Zhang Zhong himself. After such a long time, it is finally going to be published.
He has already started writing the second part of this series, and it is estimated that it will be completed in one or two months.
Writing by yourself is completely different from copying a book.
When it comes to copying books, he can finish a novel with more than one million words in a week of overtime work.
But he couldn't finish a novel of about 200,000 words by himself in two or three months. He didn't write as brilliantly as outside readers thought. He just read so many books for so many years and copied so much.
The books have been written for a long time, and the books are imprinted in the brain, so they have more advantages than ordinary people writing.
The English version of "Blind Spot" was also handed over to the translation team, and he had to set aside more time for his own work.
…
As soon as Parker got off the plane, he went straight to Banbian Street at the foot of Iris Mountain. This time he came specifically for Tongyoutongwu Bookstore. As a loyal fan of Zhang Zhong, and also a frequent poster on Zhang Zhong's theme,
Of course you can’t miss this bookstore.
In fact, the news that Zhang Zhong is related to this bookstore has not been widely known to everyone, but Parker has joined many Zhang Zhong's book friend groups and accidentally heard the news in the group.
Although this news may not be true, Parker still decided to come and take a look. Apart from Zhang Zhong, he was also quite interested in the business model of this bookstore, and it was definitely worthy of a program.
After arriving at the bookstore, Parker did not start shooting rashly. Instead, he ran to the counter and found the bookstore's boss Qin to ask for his opinion.
Qin Cheng heard that Parker was here for filming and that he spoke clear Chinese, so he agreed to Parker's filming without saying a word.
"No problem, no problem. In fact, you are not the only one who came to shoot today." Qin Cheng pointed to a young man holding a selfie stick in the hall and said: "That young man is also here to live broadcast. He seems to be from some kind of microphone.
Live broadcast platform, what about you, which live broadcast platform are you from?"
"I'm a YouTuber." Parker smiled.
"Are all the foreigners on the oil pipeline?" Qin Cheng asked.
"No, many of my viewers are Chinese. But today I am not live broadcasting. I am going to shoot a video to make an album, which will be uploaded to some video websites in China later." Parker explained with a smile.
.
"Oh, okay, then you can take whatever you want."
Parker took out his cell phone and asked Qin Cheng, "Boss Qin, are you willing to appear on the camera?"
Qin Cheng waved his hand, "I'll forget it."
"Why forget it? This is a good opportunity to promote the bookstore."
"I'm not very photogenic, and I'm not very good at talking."
"Okay." Parker nodded with some disappointment and ran to the hall to start shooting.
Parker came at just the right time, at three or four o'clock in the afternoon, when the bookstore is most crowded.
After this period of operation, the bookshelves of Tongyoutongwu Bookstore have gradually become more abundant, but if you walk a little further inside, you can still see many rows of bookshelves with only a few sparse books.
There are fewer people studying in bookstores than in other large bookstores.
"The location I am currently in is Tongyoutongwu Bookstore located on Banbian Street at the foot of Iris Mountain in Jiangyang City. Although it is called a bookstore, we can see that there are almost no new books here, and most of them are second-hand books. This is what makes this bookstore special.
This place, all the books here are voluntarily provided by members of the bookstore..."
Parker took pictures with his mobile phone and walked to the empty bookshelf at the back. He said, "The bookshelf here is still very empty. We can see that the categories of these rows of bookshelves are philosophy, art, social science, etc., which shows that
Members of this bookstore rarely read books in this area. This is easy to understand. After all, compared to novels, these types of books are rarely exposed to ordinary people."
"Look at these rows of bookshelves, there are obviously a lot more books on them. Let me pick one at random and take a look."
Although he picked it randomly, Parker still found the oldest novel on the bookshelf.
"The name of this book is "The End of Sorrow is Sadness". Judging from the cover, it seems to be a love novel. The author is Chi Qing. Oh, I seem to have heard of this Chi Qing, but her book is still my first
Saw it once.”
Parker opened the book casually, and he was surprised by the content in the book.
"The owner of this book must like this book very much. You can tell by looking at these dense annotations. I should be able to read these, after all, its owner has put it here."
Parker looked at the small handwritten words in the book. These small words looked very graceful and should have been written by a girl.
Looking at the content of these words, Parker could already determine that the other person was a girl in puberty.
Of course, considering that this book may have been bought a long time ago, its owner must be quite young now, but he was still a girl when he wrote these words.
What is written in it is the original owner's feelings after reading this book. Sometimes he complained that the male protagonist was too ink, and sometimes complained that the female protagonist was too timid. While urging the male and female protagonist to get together quickly, he also scolded those who blocked the relationship between the male and female protagonist.
Progressive people.
As he looked at it, Parker laughed. This might be an early text barrage, because when he was reading this book, these small words gave him the feeling that he was reading a barrage.
It's a pity that he can't write on it, otherwise he would be willing to communicate with the other party, but even if he writes on it, the original owner may not see it. There is a high probability that the person who will see this will be the person who borrows the book later.
After putting down the book, Parker went up to the second floor with his cell phone.
There are more people on the second floor because there is a balcony, and many people are sitting on the balcony with a book and watching quietly.
