Chapter 869: The All-American Shocking Specialist (End)
In Shanghai, there are crowds of people outside a large bookstore.
Ye Zhiqiu's fourth physical book "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" was released, and Jin Taineng held the first book signing here.
There were a total of 2,000 places for the autograph session, and an online reservation system was adopted. However, the number of fans present far exceeded this number, and the large shopping mall was completely surrounded.
Fortunately, the host Chengzi Reading Network and the shopping mall were well prepared and arranged sufficient security forces.
Just kidding, Ye Zhiqiu's current international superstar level of popularity is no joke.
Although it was a book signing event, many book fans were also holding Ye Zhiqiu's music albums. Anyway, signing one is still signing, so why not sign a few more.
The entire autograph session lasted for nearly three hours. Like previous events, Ye Zhiqiu, who transformed into a ruthless autograph machine, had his hands numb again.
Even if you write the word "one", you will still be confused if you write three or four thousand.
However, there is one thing that is different from previous autograph sessions. The atmosphere today is particularly harmonious.
The main reason is that the novel "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" has not been serialized online, and fans who have just gotten the physical book have not yet had time to read the story in the book.
In the past few times, book fans have just been so excited that they finally had the opportunity to meet the author face to face, and the atmosphere was naturally much more "warm".
The autograph session went smoothly overall, and there was also a question-and-answer session on site.
"When will I open the next book?" is the question that book lovers are most concerned about.
Although I haven't finished reading "Legend of the Condor Heroes" yet, given the author's urinary temperament, I'm sure it would be a good idea to hurry up.
In response to this, Ye Zhiqiu's reply was: "I have an idea in my head. Let me first reveal that the new book will be a sequel to "The Condor", and there will be two books."
"But I'm not sure when exactly I will write it. It depends on my schedule later. If I'm too busy, I will meet you in the form of a TV series."
Ye Zhiqiu's highly informative words became the hot search topic of the day after the autograph session.
There are three parts of "The Condor Shooting"!
This series will be made into a TV series!
As soon as this news came out, it immediately caused shock in the circle.
The biggest feature of the novels written by Ye Zhiqiu is the "IP" orientation. From the "Zhu Xian" to the "Sword of Immortal" series, they have been adapted into games or TV series, and they have all achieved great success.
Now it seems that "The Condor" is following the same route.
For this reason, many actors in the film and television industry have already inquired in many ways, seeking connections, hoping to get a role in the TV series "The Condor" that may be filmed in the future.
Popular IPs cannot be created just by building them, but not many people doubt Ye Zhiqiu's ability.
Everyone wants to be the next Li Xiao or Long Yuqing, star in the drama adaptation of Ye Zhiqiu's novel, and become an instant hit.
However, compared with the popularity on Weibo, the physical book sales of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" are a bit unexpected.
——On the first day of release, the sales volume was more than 50,000 copies. On the second day, the sales volume did not rise but fell, with only 48,000 copies. It also showed a slow downward trend in the following days.
In today's era, this is already an unattainable physical book sales volume for ordinary authors, but for Ye Zhiqiu, compared to the popularity of "Sword of Immortality", "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" seems a little "deserted"
.
Online, many readers who have read this book have polarized comments.
Some readers think that compared to the immortals who fly with swords and destroy heaven and earth, the world of martial arts seems dull and boring. It is not a wise move for Ye Zhiqiu to "go against the market" and write martial arts.
At the same time, many readers sneered at this statement and held opposite opinions.
This group of readers believes that "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" is Ye Zhiqiu's novel that has a breakthrough in quality.
If you give up on this book because there are no flying swords or exotic beasts in the story, then you are missing out on an absolute masterpiece.
Regarding "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", some old fans used a sentence written by Ye Zhiqiu before his debut.
——The great chivalrous person serves the country and the people.
The genre of martial arts is indeed outdated nowadays, but this is not a work that "picks up people's wisdom", but a classic that redefines and purifies the style of martial arts.
The two groups of people on the Internet are quarreling fiercely, but what is interesting is that the old writers who wrote about martial arts in the past often criticized Ye Zhiqiu's works, but this time no one came out to speak out.
When Ye Zhiqiu announced that he would write martial arts, there were indeed many "old martial arts" authors who were gearing up and ready to find faults. They studied "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" as soon as it was released, and then these people fell silent.
It’s not that I don’t want to spray, it’s that I can’t spray.
Sometimes, your opponent is the one who best understands your awesomeness.
Although there are mixed reviews online, Ye Zhiqiu doesn't care about it.
Orange Reading has discussed this issue with itself before, and the current situation is within the expectations of both parties.
Judging from the writing standards of "online novels", "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" is certainly not excellent. After all, the plot is slow in pace, there are no three golden chapters, and it is more enjoyable.
It can only be said that the readers who were "dissuaded" after reading the beginning are not the audience for this book.
There is a threshold for reading, which requires a certain amount of text comprehension and imagination. However, the format of TV dramas has greatly lowered this threshold.
Chapter completed!
