Chapter 865 The encounter between Qin Lang and Tang Chuanxue
Of course Kulikli is not the biggest winner, because the biggest winner is Zhang Zhong.
Zhang Zhong is also invested in the movie "The Shining". When the movie box office is released, he will also receive a large box office share, which should make him hundreds of millions of Chinese dollars.
In addition, sales of "The Shining" have been increasing since the movie was aired. According to statistics, sales of "The Shining" increased by 30 million copies in just over two weeks.
, an increase of more than 60%.
Sales of 30 million copies can bring Zhang Zhong at least hundreds of millions in royalties.
The most important thing is that not only the sales of "The Shining" are increasing, but the sales of Zhang Zhong's other books have also increased more or less.
It's only been more than two weeks, and the impact of the movie is still lingering.
During the period when "The Shining" was about to be released in China, Zhang Zhong published two works in succession within a week, a novel and a short story.
The short story "Gibson" came out first. This extra "Clockwork Girl" with only tens of thousands of words was not published as a single book due to length issues, but was made available to readers in electronic form.
This novel didn't create much of a stir. After all, it was just a spin-off, and it was a spin-off of "The Wind-Up Girl".
But for loyal fans of the "Clockwork Girl" worldview, this is undoubtedly a great gift.
Readers have been saying before that they hope Zhang Zhong can fully expand the world of "Clockwork Girl" and let everyone see more, and now it seems that Zhang Zhong is doing just that.
But even so, some greedy readers are still dissatisfied. It has taken so long to publish a spin-off with only tens of thousands of words. When can the world view of "Clockwork Girl" be completed?
In their opinion, it would be best for Zhang Zhongneng to publish a novel of several hundred thousand words a year.
It’s okay to publish short stories, but it’s best to publish one piece a month, so that you can enjoy it.
This time I wrote "Gibson", next time I can write about a prince or something, and then extend the world view to other countries.
Many readers would like to know how other countries are living in such an era.
…
I don’t know since when, that kind of role-playing group started to exist on the Internet.
It is a group of like-minded people who create a group, assign an identity to each of them, and then use this identity to chat in the group.
There are almost all kinds of groups, all kinds of film and television works, novels, everything you want.
However, there are the most groups about Zhang Zhong’s works. When searching for role-playing groups on social media, the first thing that pops up is also related to Zhang Zhong.
Because of the release of "Gibson", the most popular group during this period was the Clockwork Girls World Group.
In this kind of group, conversations similar to the following often occur.
Mieko: [Ah, there was a guy in a white coat chasing me today and I almost got caught. Alas, this body always overheats.]
Gibson: [Haha, poor clockwork man.]
Anderson: [Have any of you seen Chen Fusheng? I don’t know where this little old man went.]
Carlisle: [Are you talking about the yellow card man?]
Zhaidi: [Gibson, you’ve been very popular these past two days.]
Gibson: [Haha, stupid person.]
…
There are many groups like this, but those are the most famous ones.
Some groups just play casually, while some groups really have a lot of strict rules.
Some groups with a large number of people will regularly change the roles in the group and choose people who are more suitable for the roles.
In such a group, group members will try their best to fit the storyline and characters when speaking, instead of talking nonsense.
In addition to the "Clockwork Girl" group, there are also many groups such as "Along the River During the Qingming Festival", "Harry Potter", and "The Three-Body Problem", and the members in them are basically Zhang Zhong's fans.
After the "Clockwork Girl" group became popular for a while, the "Blindspot" group became active again, because a week after "Gibson" was released, Zhang Zhongshu's "Blindspot 2" was also officially released.
Xu Zizai looked at the messages in the group and then sent one.
Zhou Yuan: [I heard that Officer Qin has been busy again recently?]
Yes, Xu Zizai also joined a role-playing group in "Blind Spot" and even snagged the role of Zhou Yuan. He posted this message because "Blind Spot 2" was released today.
Putting away his mobile phone, Xu Zizai walked into the bookstore. He wanted to buy the new book and read it before the broadcast started at three o'clock in the afternoon.
There were many people in the bookstore, many of whom came to buy new books like Xu Zizai.
There were many people gathered around the bookshelf of the New Book Express. Xu Zizai got through the crowd, picked up a book and ran to the checkout counter.
After running home panting with the book, Xu Zizai did not rush to read. Instead, he made himself a cup of tea, then carried a pot of boiling water to a wicker chair and sat down comfortably.
At the beginning of "Blindspot 2", the news reported two missing cases. In both cases, the missing boys were about seven years old, and the interval between the two cases was no more than forty-eight hours.
Immediately afterwards, the male protagonist of the story, Qin Lang, appeared.
Xu Zizai breathed a sigh of relief. Some people said before that "Blind Spot 2" might change the male lead, but now it seems that Zhang Zhong has not done so.
Fortunately, it's still Qin Lang.
Although many people criticize Qin Lang and think he is too mediocre, Xu Zizai feels that Qin Lang has many shining points and is very real.
This kind of unconventional detective story fascinated him very much.
After Qin Lang took over the case, the development of the case was not ideal. Soon the police discovered the bodies of two boys.
"Qin Lang realized that two years later, another serial murder occurred in City J."
Has it been the past two years?
Seeing this, Xu Zizai suddenly felt that his mind flew to two years ago - no, for Qin Lang it was two years ago, but for Xu Zizai it was only four months.
The murderer of the last serial murder case in J City was the astonishing driver hunter Zhou Yuan.
However, compared to Zhou Yuan, Xu Zizai hated this murderer even more.
A killer who specializes in killing seven-year-old children seems a little more disgusting.
Xu Zizai's idea was actually quite funny. They were all killing people, but he rated them higher.
But Xu Zizai was also curious, why did this murderer kill a seven-year-old boy?
Not only could he not understand it, but Qin Lang in the book could not understand it either. He could not determine the motive for the crime, which made the investigation more difficult.
The case could not progress for a while until the third murder occurred in Xin'an.
When he saw Xin'an, Xu Zizai raised his eyebrows. Zhang Zhong really died wherever he went.
But what surprised him even more later was that Qin Lang actually met Yukawa Xue in Xin'an.
