A few days later.
The New York Times: Gone with the Wind sells big in North America!
Canadian Daily News: Gone with the Wind sets sales records!
Australian newspaper: A novel that has swept the nation!
British newspaper: "Gone with the Wind sets new heights for literary fiction!"
New Zealand media: An in-depth analysis of the characters in Gone with the Wind!
Irish Television: Why did Gone with the Wind become so popular in English-speaking countries?
Many English-language media and television stations around the world reported about it!
Float!
Float!
Float!
All of them had this name!
This was undoubtedly an even bigger advertisement!
All of a sudden, Gone with the Wind became even more famous overseas. More and more people from English-speaking countries came to know about this book and the author, Zhang Ye. Even many non-English-speaking countries where Gone with the Wind had not been released before also developed a great deal of interest and curiosity about this book. Some of the foreigners who were better at English even got their friends to buy it for them. Even if there was no local language available, they could still read it in English. They wanted to know just what was so magical about this book! Once this cycle started, it would be very difficult to stop in a short period of time!
As a result, Gone with the Wind sold even more crazily!
Every day, the sales volume was rising like crazy!
Three million!
3.5 million!
3.7 million!
…
Meanwhile.
China.
At Zhang Ye's Studio.
At this moment, everyone was crying out in joy!
Ha Qiqi was extremely excited. "It's done! It's done! "
Zhang Zuo laughed heartily. "The foreign market has really opened up! This was a historic breakthrough! Even if we can't win the Nobel Prize, we can still go down in history! There had never been a China novel that sold so crazily overseas! The sales volume definitely broke records! And it's still breaking new highs! "
Tong Fu wiped his sweat. "This … can this be considered a China novel?"
Zhang Ye rolled his eyes. "I'm a Chinese, so why wouldn't it count if I wrote it?"
Written in English!
First released overseas!
And it was written with an American background!
And now you're telling me this is a China novel?
Tong Fu fainted!
Little Wang said in surprise, "Who cares what novel it is, as long as it sells well! We're rich this time, it's all money! "
Wu Yi was also panting. "How much money will that cost? Ever since Director Zhang came back, the studio has been struggling to make ends meet. But we're finally going to have money this time!"
Zhang Ye smiled smugly. "Money? That's not important. What's important is the fame. If I can break into the international scene and get a spot on the international celebrity rankings, wouldn't there be more opportunities to make money in the future? Don't set your sights so low. Oh yes, when are the Russian and Chinese versions going to be released?"
Ha Qiqi said, "We'll be debuting today!"
Zhang Ye said, "Alright, let's keep up the good work and strive for another victory!"
"Got it!"
"Director Zhang is almighty!"
"You're too awesome!"
Everyone started sucking up to him. But actually, it couldn't be said that they were sucking up to him. They were really convinced by Zhang Ye's abilities. They were convinced from head to toe! An English novel with an American setting, everyone thought that Director Zhang was going to fail this time. Everyone thought that Director Zhang had been too rash this time. He was someone who had never even been to America before, so how could he possibly write a novel with an American war setting? But the reality was that Director Zhang had really done it. He had actually used this novel to kick open the door to the international literary market, so how could they not be convinced?
At this moment, Zhang Ye felt more at ease. A huge rock had finally been lifted off his shoulders.
He knew that Gone with the Wind wouldn't have any problems. There were no signs of it not getting acclimatized. The fact that it could sell so well had nothing to do with the promotions, the advertisements, or his character. It was purely because the book was good. This was a novel that could shock the world's literary world even if it was left in a corner. The history of his previous world had already proven this point. A person, a person who could stand at the top of the world's literary world with just a single novel, could only be Margaret Mitchell!
And now.
Zhang Ye had recreated Old Ma's story in this world!
…
At the same time.
It blew up in China!
The news and feedback from the international community over the past few days dumbfounded countless Chinese citizens!
On Weibo.
"Holy shit!"
"This can't fucking be real, right?"
"He's really breaking into the international market?"
"Gone with the Wind is selling like crazy?"
"Zhang Ye! Teacher Zhang! Fellow Zhang! I'm really fucking kneeling to you! "
"It can even be done like this?"
"Is this novel really that good?"
"Who knows? How could it be selling like crazy?"
"It's sold out in the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, and Australia?"
"I'm feeling a little dizzy. Let me calm down!"
"I'm curious too. Just what kind of novel is this?"
"Who managed to buy the English version?"
"I couldn't get it."
"I heard that the Chinese version will be released today!"
"Really? Then I must definitely buy a copy and read it! "
"I have to read it too. Just what's so awesome about this novel!"
"I've never read foreign novels before, but I have to read it no matter what."
"What foreign novel? It's clearly a Chinese novel."
"Pfft, you call this a Chinese novel? There's not even a single Chinese name in the main character's name! "
"This Zhang Ye fellow's transformation into the international stage this time is too fucking huge!"
"But it looks like this fellow has still succeeded in his transformation!"
"Hai, when has he not succeeded before? As long as he wants to do something, there's basically nothing he can't do. This fellow is really too damn strange! "
…
In the Chinese literary scene.
"Oh my God!"
"He can even do that?"
"Did he really buy it so crazily?"
"It's sold out in more than a dozen English-speaking countries like the United States and Canada?"
"It's very difficult for a foreign author to do that!"
"What kind of book is this?"
"I don't know. I can't read it in English."
"I've read a little. I think it's about war and life. It's set purely in American history!"
"How on earth did he write it!"
"Actually, I wouldn't be surprised if a person who could write a book like Fortress Besieged could write anything else. Zhang Ye's literary foundation is too deep! He's already mastered everything! "
"But he can't possibly sell it all the way to America!"
…
At a male idol's studio.
"Can he really do it?"
"Why do I feel like this is so unreal!"
"He's sold it all over the world?"
"There's even a fucking Russian version?"
"How does he know Russian!"
"Who should I ask if you're asking me!"
"He can even speak English, so I wouldn't be surprised if he knows Russian as well!"
"When will the Chinese version be released? Let's buy a few copies as well. I want to see what it's about! How could something written by a notorious person like Zhang Ye possibly be accepted by the international community! "
…
In the Chinese media.
"Zhang Ye's new novel sells well overseas!"
"Zhang Ye may already be the number one person in China's literary scene!"
"Will the Nobel Prize winner take notice of Zhang Ye?"
"Gone with the Wind debuts in China today!"
"The Russian version of Gone with the Wind will be released soon!"
Will Gone with the Wind sell well in non-English speaking countries? Let us wait and see! "
Zhang Ye's new novel had indeed shocked too many people this time!
