I don’t want to be a star, I became famous

Editors are night owls.

Xu Zhi, who has been promoted to editor-in-chief, has developed the habit of reviewing manuscripts in the early morning.

It's quiet at night.

efficient.

Of course, as an editor, he also has some desire for expression and creation.

After becoming the editor-in-chief, he no longer needs to review most manuscripts in person, except for a few big-name writers such as Zhou You who need him to review manuscripts and maintain relationships.

A lot more time.

He finally started writing something in Golden Bookstore... He liked Xianxia, ​​so he started serializing a Xianxia novel.

More than one million words have been written so far.

The results were so-so.

Writing a book is really not that easy. He was stuck at this moment and couldn't write. He couldn't write at all.

It took him less than half a year to write these one million words.

I don’t know how Mr. Zhou You is so productive... He can write millions of words or tens of millions of words a year. Is he a ruthless typewriter?

Sure enough, there is still no way to compare with such a big guy.

I was thinking wildly,

Suddenly the mail icon is jumping.

Who is sending an email so late?

Open.

I was surprised to see the manuscript sent by Zhou You.

I'll go!! He wrote a new book? You know, The Ordinary World is still selling well all over the world.

This book...is in response to the siege of those eighteen literary giants?

It must be like this.

The Old Man and the Sea, he immediately thought of Reuven's new book The Fisherman, Is this still a response to The Fisherman?

Out of curiosity, he dived into The Old Man and the Sea and accidentally stayed up late again, unable to stop watching it.

…

Zhou You's book is basically free of typos, logical errors and obvious loopholes.

Production and distribution are quite hassle-free.

You can skip the fine-tuning step directly.

So productive and yet so attentive...Xu Zhi feels that Zhou You is a rigorous monster. You know, people not only have to write novels, but also scripts and songs.

Now I am still posting about my daily life with my baby on Weibo.

Doesn't he have three heads and six arms?

Just 24 hours a day.

But he arranges his work and life in an orderly manner... I would like to call him a master of time management.

It seems that I need to ask Teacher Zhou You for some tips and methods on time management...

The next day.

Xu Zhi directly applied for a book number for The Old Man and the Sea.

Since this is a traveling book, it went through a special process, so the book number came out that afternoon. At the same time, the artist has also designed the cover and layout.

After reading it, Xu Zhi thought there was no problem. After signing and confirming, he arranged for intensive printing that night.

Then notify the bookseller.

On the third day,

The first batch of The Old Man and the Sea was printed in branch offices and cooperative publishing houses in various places in the first edition, and 10 million copies were printed for the first time in the world.

There are very few premieres of Zhou You's works around the world.

But there is no way.

This is already the limit of production capacity.

The publicity for The Old Man and the Sea was overwhelming.

Xu Zhi is very good at publicity and momentum.

soon!

The news that Zhou You's new book The Old Man and the Sea will be released soon swept the entire Internet.

It ranks first on the popular lists of major media platforms.

Netizens and fans discussed it enthusiastically.

The new book is called The Old Man and the Sea. Why does it feel like it has the same theme as The Fisherman?

I feel the same way. Is this in response to Reuven?

Most likely.

The new book Zhou You comes out too quickly. Not long after The Ordinary World came out, a new book came out.

A lot of inspiration! It's still a tentacle monster.

Definitely support it!

…

The literary world of the Tang Dynasty.

Eighteen literary writers who are besieged and traveling around are all paying attention to The Old Man and the Sea.

It's so arrogant. He really dares to challenge me.

Does anyone want to fight us?

Whimsical.

@Luwen, is this guy here for you?

Lu Wen peeked at the screen quietly.

But there was no response.

He also felt that traveling around was arrogant. I wrote The Fisherman and you wrote The Old Man and the Sea? It's obvious that you are provoking me.

Although Lu Wen has confidence.

But I still lack confidence.

After all, Zhou You is a very evil and talented person. Now that this guy is coming for him, he really has no confidence that he can win...

If a group fights, we'll beat you up!

But why the hell did you single out me for pinching?

Could it be that I was the first to stand up to suppress you and challenge you?

Are you taking revenge on me?

Reuven is not afraid either.

there is always a solution to a problem.

However, what Lu Wen didn't expect was that Zhou You would take advantage of the popularity and release a song with the same name as The Old Man and the Sea.

I wrote a new song The Old Man and the Sea to share with everyone. Everyone asked when the new album will be released. The answer is: it is already being prepared. This time it is a brand new album, so stay tuned.

After Zhou You tweeted, Li Qingyao also tweeted immediately.

I recorded a song The Old Man and the Sea with my husband and shared it with everyone. We are already preparing for the new album. It should be a surprise for everyone, so stay tuned.

Two tweets were posted one after the other.

It quickly sparked heated discussions among fans.

The new song is called The Old Man and the Sea? I'll go for it!! Now Zhou You has started to write promotional songs and promotion songs for his new song.

Sure enough, if you have talent, you can do whatever you want.

It was recorded together with Li Qingyao!

Hahaha, they are indeed a couple!! Both of them are preparing for a new album, so look forward to it.

Is there a possibility that they will release a new album on the same day?

When will Zhou Kexin release a new album?

Zhou Kexin: About three years old!! My dad is already preparing a new album for me.

Zhou You and Li Qingyao quickly occupied the top two positions on Weibo's popular list.

The popularity of the song The Old Man and the Sea and the book continue to soar.

Reuben is not interested in this song.

But I clicked on it, and then I couldn't bear to close it... He had to admit that the songs written by Ren Zhouyou were really good.

The intro to The Old Man and the Sea is very nice.

How nice does it sound?

Zhou You felt that he could praise him a hundred times.

When this song was first released, he often played it on repeat.

The night eagles of autumn are among the fallen leaves in the sky.

The yellowed world is drifting away little by little with the wind.

The snow in winter turns white to your Valentine's Day

The fragments of love disappear

Zhou You once used this song as an alarm clock.

Popular singing, rap, Li Qingyao's female voice... all add a lot to this song.

The plot of the old man and the sea, but you vaguely appear in the picture... The old man smoked silently, and he and I had insomnia...

When it comes to the chorus,

Li Qingyao's voice sang.

The love of the sea is too deep and time is too shallow

How can my love for you be stranded?

The old man's thread tightly holds the faith of love

The sails of time are gradually moving away

After the song The Old Man and the Sea was released, it quickly spread widely and became popular.

Sweeping the new song charts on all major platforms.

Zhou You's current appeal in the music world, he dares to say that he is second, but no one dares to say that he is first.

What's more, this song was recorded by him and Li Qingyao together.

The fan appeal is even more terrifying.

Sounds good!

Now let's start a couple's duet.

While listening to the song, I was shown a show of affection and was so sweet.

The song is very nice, I like it!! I really want to read the novel after listening to it.

Isn't the novel also about love?

After listening to the song, I already fell in love with the novel! Although I haven't read the novel yet.

The song is fermenting!

The book The Old Man and the Sea is fermenting.

after one day!

The Old Man and the Sea is released simultaneously worldwide.

The first-day circulation of 10 million copies was simply not enough, far from it. The Old Man and the Sea was sold out in all major bookstores, and not a single copy was left.

Lu Wen relied on his connections to get a copy of The Old Man and the Sea.

“He’s really good at marketing!”

I would like to see how you write this book.

So far, although 10 million copies of The Old Man and the Sea have been sold out on the first day, he does not admit that Zhou You is awesome. He only admitted that Zhou You’s marketing methods were awesome.

Not only promoted the book.

They also promoted the couple's new album.

The traffic is understood by them.

After getting The Old Man and the Sea, Lu Wen immediately locked himself in the study and opened the novel.

He likes to shut himself in his study.

Whether it’s writing or reading.

No one should bother me.

I am in a hurry with anyone who bothers me.

He was an old man fishing alone on a small sailboat in the Gulf Stream. He went back for eighty-four days without catching a single fish...

Really a fisherman? Lu Wen's heart skipped a beat.

This is so similar to his The Fisherman.

The protagonist of his The Fisherman is also an old man.

Sure enough, he came for me. Lu Wen's expression became serious, and his previous relaxed attitude was completely gone.

Keep your head down and keep looking down.

See what you can do with an old fisherman!

Can you write better than me?

It turns out that this old man's name is Santiago. He is an unlucky old man who went to sea for eighty-four days without catching any fish.

Bad luck.

But the old man didn't think so, and he didn't feel discouraged. Instead, he continued his fishing journey.

A sea, a ship, a person...

He fights on the sea!

Lonely.

endure.

wait!

Finally he caught a big fish! Fight with big fish! Bloody water attracts sharks! Fight with sharks!

When he finally came back,

Only the skeleton of the big fish was brought back.

Lu Wen read it word by word. At first he felt that the writing was not very clever, but the more he read, the more wonderful it became, the less control he got, and the more he read, the more shocked he became.

Tough guy! !

This is a tough guy.

A person is not born to be defeated. You can eliminate him, but you can't defeat him.

The real strong man is not the winner, but the one who can start over after failure.

Pain is nothing to a man.

Numerous languages ​​​​are shocking Lu Wen.

The fisherman's thoughts were ingrained in his mind.

This book only has 40,000 words. After reading it, he had to sigh: This fisherman is better than my fisherman! More charming, more tenacious, and more manly.

And at this time,

Many people on the Internet have finished watching The Old Man and the Sea.

I finished reading it!! I was so moved.

I'm at a low point in my life, but after reading it, I feel like I can do it again.

Strive!! Work hard, fight.

Men have to be tougher.

I really like this book! Inspiring and inspiring.

The undefeated Santiago!! Zhou You also continued this book and said: You can't defeat Santiago, and you can't defeat me Zhou Yu! Even if only the remains of the big fish are left, it is the big fish I brought back.

This statement was quickly recognized by fans.

Everyone thinks that traveling around becomes San Diego.

Telling 18 literary writers: I am a tough guy!! If you don't believe me, you can come and try! You can't challenge me. I will hold you down even if you die.

The sea alludes to world literature.

A tough guy is a metaphor for traveling around.

The big fish and sharks in the sea refer to these writers who besieged him.

Zhou You will fight until the last moment!

Don't admit defeat.

Zhou You was confused when he saw this kind of comment... I really didn't mean it.

But there is no way,

Readers have already interpreted it this way.

After reading The Old Man and the Sea, Lu Wen stopped without saying a word, and the other seventeen writers were suddenly speechless... His works are here! ! It's really well written.

If you jump out and talk again, you have no vision.

Unless there is a better work than The Old Man and the Sea.

But such a work,

How can it be that you can take it out whenever you want?

The silence of the eighteen writers signifies the staged victory of the tour.

in the coming week.

The Old Man and the Sea sold like crazy.

Fifty million copies!

Eighty million copies!

One hundred million copies.

One hundred and fifty million copies!

Sales soared like crazy, breaking the record for the fastest sales of The Ordinary World to exceed 100 million.

Suddenly the entire literary world fell silent.

I feel...his two books have completely wiped out the literary world.

Turns the world upside down.

His literary novels actually sell better than commercial novels.

This kid is so scary.

Students, office workers, celebrities, entrepreneurs...people from all walks of life are reading this book, recommending it, and regard it as a classic.

at the same time,

The word tough guy has also become popular frequently.

People's ideas are gradually changing, and they are more and more fond of the image of a tough guy and a masculine image. Little fresh meat and sissy are gradually losing their market.

…

Zhou You didn't pay much attention to the sales of The Old Man and the Sea and rarely read reviews and reactions online.

Instead, he and Li Qingyao are preparing a new duet album.

Zhou You bought all the classic duet songs on Earth and listed them one by one with Li Qingyao.

You are a song in my heart, Rooftop, Have to Love, Rose in the Palm, Another Paradise, Happy Worship, Myth. Love Words, Iron-Blooded Heart, Beautiful Myth, Break Up with Good Will, Because of Love, No. 18 on the Bund, Coral Sea, You Will Marry Me Today, Little Dimple, Hello in the World, It's Difficult to Love, Liang Shanbo and Juliet, I Want to Understand You Better...

Zhou You has a long list of works.

Li Qingyao was greatly shocked by this.

Honey, when did you write so many songs? In Li Qingyao's opinion, Zhou You didn't spend time writing songs every day, and spent most of his time with her and her daughter.

I don’t know when he wrote it.

Zhou You Xiaoxiao lied, I wrote these before. I thought I could sing with you one day.

Even though I know it is stock.

But she still thinks her husband is awesome.

There are already a huge number of works released, I didn’t expect there to be so many in stock!

Husband, you are as powerful as an alien. Li Qingyao sighed.
