Xiao Zhen's first work published after many years was a historical academic monograph titled "The True Story of the Ming Dynasty", which talked about the official history of the Ming Dynasty, leaving many of his acquaintances in scientific research puzzled.
You are a guy who does scientific research. It would be enough for you to make some money for milk powder around the world by making stories and writing novels. But brother, you have crossed the line, do you know?
It is embarrassing for a group of people who only rely on their eloquence to show off their knowledge. However, before Xiao Zhen published his own academic monograph on history.
In December, he ordered his publishing group to publish the original woodblock edition of all his quotations, and translated them into vernacular Chinese out of fear that those who talked nonsense might not understand or distort his meaning.
Vernacular manuscripts are reviewed and revised three times by professionals who study classical Chinese before they are published.
In December, a batch of ancient woodblock books that have never been published were published at once, and these "professors" active on the front line have never seen them.
The collection of these 242 ancient woodblock books by Xiao Zhen is called "The Private Collection of Woodblock Books in Xiao's House on Taiping Mountain". It is very expensive, costing 1888 per set. Those who engage in academic research really need such heavyweight books.
These are from Xiao Zhen’s own family library, and Xiao Zhen and his son selflessly made them public. This is the knowledge and cognitive foundation of a large family.
Since this series of books came on the market, the first wave was that almost all major libraries purchased and entered a set. Xiao Zhengtang donated a set to the library system in his hometown of Yuzhou.
Other national libraries and Beijing libraries, including Shanghai Library, Gangcheng Library and Macau Library, donated another set in Xiaozhen.
The rest are sold out. If you want, you can buy it yourself. In the first month of being on the shelves, 280,000 physical books were sold, and 1.2 million e-books were sold online.
The online electronic version is cheaper, only 188 yuan per set. It can only be viewed online and cannot be copied.
Xiao Zhen saw that 30,000 computers that took illegal screenshots burned out in one month when he looked at the data backend.
These guys will also face charges from Xiaozhen GPM's luxurious legal team, and every one of them will be held accountable.
The number of people who received the free electronic version before the release can be counted on one hand: Uncle Yang from Xiaozhen, Uncle Feng, his father, his uncle, Teacher Tao from Xiaozhen, Teacher Xia, and Teacher Liu.
There is also Lao Liu who has been very active in the black fish industry in the past two years and Lao Ma who is researching electric motors.
There is also Old Yang from Huangtianba, Old Cheng, the former chief engineer of China Airlines, and Old Zhang, the family’s old housekeeper.
Old Zhang is not even counted as this old guy has read the original book. The old man wants to read the electronic version, so Xiao Zhen gives him his PAD to read directly.
Anyway, the only ones who read it seriously were Uncle Yang, Uncle Feng and Lao Tao. You wouldn't have thought that Lao Tao also likes to read historical materials. His teacher Tao Dapao said that he was bored of staying in the laboratory, so he read some historical materials to change his mind.
Starting from the summer vacation, my eldest son and second son will read the family collection of books in our library during holidays and weekends to improve their thinking and knowledge.
Xiao Zhen has been reading a lot of books since he started writing novels as a child, especially his uncle Liu Jun and Lao Zhang, who started collecting things in 1985 and have never stopped.
Xiao Zhen told his father what Old Zhang said about the eldest son of his previous master's family. A large family that has lasted for more than four generations must be a family with a long history of family learning, otherwise it is just a nouveau riche. Xiao Zhen agreed with this point of view.
Old Zhang was the study companion of his former eldest son. He was smart enough, so he became an expert in Chinese studies. Now Old Zhang is in his 80s and is still the president of the Shanghai Chinese Studies Association. It is clear that his old butler is not as simple as the old Chaofeng.
On January 11, Xiao Zhen’s new historical novel "The Glory of the Ming Dynasty" was released globally.
The natural common market for this thing is the bathtub of East Asia.
However, Xiao Zhen and Phoenix Publishing System made a wrong estimate. The English international version was sold out in just three days after it was released worldwide, with 1 million copies sold.
A total of 18 million copies of various versions in East Asian languages such as Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Vietnamese and Thai were first released, and 75% of them were sold in half a month.
Xiao Zhen’s ability to sell products is still so strong. As the Spring Festival is approaching at the end of January, 24 million sets of the second edition have been printed as stock.
The first batch of the second edition, worth 8 million, was printed in three shifts in a printing workshop and shipped to offline stores before the Spring Festival.
Xiao Zhen also took out 5,000 sets of the collector's edition of fresh stamps on his domestic and international Weibo, and gave them away for free to his fans around the world.
After this news was released, the domestic and international versions of Weibo added servers three times a day to prevent the platform from crashing.
More than half a month after the release, the first wave of keyboard warriors came out to criticize the film. Some people are specifically trying to get attention by taking advantage of the situation. However, Xiao Zhen's popularity is toxic and dangerous. If he is not careful, he will be sued to the end by a team of luxurious lawyers.
Three days before New Year's Eve, his exclusive assistant knocked on the door of his uncle's office with the film and television adaptation plan of "The Glory of the Tang Dynasty".
"What's up, Runsheng? Pack up and go back to Bangkok for the New Year. I've already given you my year-end bonus." Xiao Zhen teased the girl.
"Uncle, this year's year-end bonus is 5 million more, uncle, you are so generous!" Run Sheng said while giving a thumbs up.
"Tell me what's the matter?" Xiao Zhen asked
"Uncle, this is the film version plan sent by Director Zhang, and this is the TV series version plan sent by Director Chen. Would you like to take a look?
I heard Mai Ziwei say that there is no rush and that he can give him some revision suggestions after the New Year. ” Run Sheng said as he handed over two thick plans.
"Well, leave it here! I'll email him my suggestions when I get back to work after the holiday and ask him to check his email. He must make sure the costumes and makeup are done well.
The lines should be modern but in tune, not messy. We asked them to consult more with our expert group who helped us organize and review the manuscript and serve as historical consultants. They must be rigorous.
There are also two lists of actors submitted by Run Sheng, which were carefully investigated by the Quantum Business Investigation Department.
My dear, there is more to this chapter. Please click on the next page to continue reading. It will be even more exciting later!
