After getting off the airport, Lin Fei went to the hotel to rest for a while, and then prepared to go to the promotional meeting after dinner.
On the way, he was closing his eyes and concentrating. The translator next to him suddenly patted his shoulder and said, "Brother Fei, please read the news."
Lin Fei opened his eyes and asked, "What news?"
This translator is good at everything, but he was surprised. This time I don’t know if he saw some shocking UC title and came to share it with me, but he is really sleepy now, so his tone is also dismissive.
The translator directly put the phone screen in front of Lin Fei, "Look, this is the news."
Lin Fei looked at the screen. The first thing he saw was a heavy photo, and then the screen was filled with French text.
The French knew him, but he did not know them.
He glanced at the translator and said, "Xiao Zhao, why did I bring you here?"
"Ah?" Xiao Zhao was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized, "Oh, oh, let me translate it for you. This news said that Mr. Zhang appeared at the wedding of a couple at the Leslie Hotel. It is said that this couple
The newcomers are all Mr. Zhang’s fans.”
Hearing Xiao Zhao's words, Lin Fei became interested and lost his sleepiness. "So, Mr. Zhang went to the wedding?"
Xiao Zhao nodded, "That should be the case, and it is said that the bride's name is Anna. Mr. Zhang met him when he visited Paris before, and the story of the girl by the Seine was also relayed by Anna. The most surprising thing
Yes, Mr. Zhang actually gave them a manuscript."
"Manuscript? What manuscript?"
"The manuscript is the original manuscript written on the paper by the author himself." Xiao Zhao explained the meaning of the manuscript to Lin Fei seriously.
Lin Fei patted Xiao Zhao on the head angrily, "Xiao Zhao, are you kidding me? I asked you which manuscript of the book Mr. Zhang gave them. Who asked you to explain to me what the manuscript means?
."
Xiao Zhao touched his head and said, "Oh, let me see... what Mr. Zhang gave them was "Metamorphosis"."
Lin Fei raised his eyebrows. Unexpectedly, what Zhang Zhong gave to others was the manuscript of "Metamorphosis". Although this book did not win any awards, it had a great impact when it came out and once caused heated discussions in the literary world.
.
Mr. Zhang is so generous to send such an important manuscript as a gift.
However, Lin Fei then thought about it and realized that none of Zhang Zhong's manuscripts were valuable, and the manuscript of "Metamorphosis" was relatively thin. If he had a manuscript of "The Ordinary World", it would probably need to be packed in a box.
OK.
"The Ordinary World" has one million words. It felt very thick when I bought it from a bookstore. But if it were a manuscript, it would be at least five times thicker. If there were a lot of revisions, it would be more than ten times thick.
Times are normal.
Manuscripts are completely different from published manuscripts. On the one hand, the font size is very different. Generally speaking, handwritten fonts are larger than printed fonts, and the spaces left are also larger.
Moreover, both sides of a page in published books are used, but this is different for handwriting. Most people will only write on one side, leaving the other side empty.
When some writers are writing, in order to facilitate revision later, they will also deliberately set up a large blank space for later revision, comment, addition, and deletion.
Some writers only write half of a page, and use the remaining half to revise, and some even write it again below.
To be honest, Lin Fei was a little envious of the newlyweds. After all, things like manuscripts were of great significance.
"Is this news hot?" Lin Fei asked again.
Xiao Zhaomeng nodded, "High, quite high. I just browsed the news and found it. This news was published by the Seven Years News Agency, which is a well-known local news media in France. The things that can be reported by them are in themselves
It represents popularity. And this news has only been published for more than half an hour, and the number of views has reached 100,000."
"One hundred thousand, it doesn't seem like much."
"My brother, this is France. There are only over 60 million people in France, and there are even fewer Internet users. News that can reach 100,000 views in half an hour is incredible," Xiao Zhao said.
Lin Fei was right. He couldn't read the news in France according to the standards in China.
The number of Internet users in China has soared in the past decade or so. It seems that a piece of news is not considered big news unless it has millions of views.
It is not impossible for some popular news to have tens of millions of views.
Take Weiyu, for example. If Lin Fei posts a Weiyu update now, it would be considered bad if the number of comments is less than 10,000, let alone the number of views.
So when I heard Xiao Zhao talk about 100,000 views just now, he subconsciously felt that the popularity was not very high.
"And this number of views is very real, because there are more than 3,000 comments alone, and it is still rising." Xiao Zhao said.
Lin Fei smiled and said, "Yes, this kind of news is the most attractive. A person like Mr. Zhang suddenly ran to attend the wedding of an ordinary couple. It looks like a plot in a TV series, and it will definitely arouse heated discussions.
.I guess many people in the comment area are envious of this newlywed couple."
"Brother Fei, you are right. Most of the comments below are envying the bride and groom. Of course, they are not just envying Zhang Zhong for attending their wedding. Many people are also discussing the manuscript. Many people are
I’m asking how much this manuscript is worth.”
"Unless the couple is willing to sell, there is no point in discussing this matter."
"Yes, there are random quotes on the Internet. I also saw a person offering 100 million euros to buy Mr. Zhang's manuscript. But when I clicked on his personal homepage, I saw that he just participated in the discussion of discounts in shopping malls yesterday...
…“
Lin Fei laughed, "If you click on his homepage to see it, then he has succeeded."
While we were talking, the car had already arrived downstairs at the hotel where the promotional meeting was being held.
Lin Fei breathed a sigh of relief. Although he didn't rest in the car, he was still in a good mood after hearing such exciting news.
His task today is to prepare well for the front line, and then wait until Zhang Zhong comes tomorrow.
He also expected that at the publicity conference later, reporters would definitely ask him about Zhang Zhong attending the wedding, and he had already thought of how to answer.
Zhang Zhong went to attend the wedding this time. It seemed that he was just taking time to deal with personal matters, but it was also equivalent to doing official business. With this wave of news, their publicity in France this time is bound to be more effective with half the effort.
When Lin Fei came to the conference room lobby, he was startled by the excitement of the conference room.
The conference room was large, but it was already packed with staff from various media companies.
Lin Fei knew that the reason why so many people came was definitely not because of his fame, but because these reporters knew the news about Zhang Zhong in Paris.
