There are some things that apply, whether in Li Chenchan's previous life's time and space or in the current time and space.
For example, hype.
Li Chenchan did not deliberately create hype, but after the scolding of a few old antiques and some rebuttals, the two opposing forces collided fiercely, and the result was that more and more people knew about "Those Ming Dynasty Things." The book's sales also saw a significant increase.
When Zhao Zhongyang heard this news, he felt a darkness before his eyes, almost spitting out a mouthful of black blood and losing consciousness!
Because, this matter was truly speechless. Zhao Zhongyang originally wanted to suppress Li Chenchan's fierce momentum and indeed gained some resonance. Who knew that such a debate would instead boost the sales of "Those Ming Dynasty Things." In the recent book sales, with the addition of this new force, the Rongcheng Hundred Flowers Publishing House became very arrogant. Zhao Zhongyang felt that the looks his subordinates gave him were becoming increasingly mocking.
At the same time, the next day, a famous literary critic, classical poetry researcher, and best-selling author, Professor Wu Yantian from the History Department of Jiangnan University in Jiangsu Province, joined the debate. He directly said, "We live in an increasingly restless society, and some people feel angry at others' success, so they try hard to criticize successful people. In my view, 'Those Ming Dynasty Things' is a humorous and interesting history, a successful history. Li Chenchan used a 'playful history' approach in 'Those Ming Dynasty Things' to make the originally stern history lively and vivid. This is a success! And his success is first reflected in the high sales of this book, which proves that the public likes his book."
"Moreover, no matter how people attack 'Those Ming Dynasty Things,' there is one thing they cannot eraseāLi Chenchan used 'Those Ming Dynasty Things' to make many people understand the history of the Ming Dynasty and care more about the history of the Ming Dynasty... This is an achievement! On the contrary, those who curse Li Chenchan every day, if they ask themselves, how many people have they made care about history and look at the history of our Chinese nation?"
This question was deafening, and Wu Yantian had a good reputation in the entire empire's historical community. After his words, many readers who were still wavering and had been misled to doubt "Those Ming Dynasty Things" immediately became firm in their beliefs and regained sufficient trust in "Those Ming Dynasty Things."
Zhao Zhongyang, hearing Wu Yantian's voice, had to temporarily give up. Arguing with a scholar like Wu Yantian, he would definitely not have the upper hand.
In the empire, experts still had a good reputation, especially those like Wu Yantian, who had been tested by time and facts. Everyone would be very convinced.
Even Han Fanghao could only think of laying low... but he was unwilling to miss this opportunity for fame. Han Fanghao had no significant achievements in his studies and no financial improvement, and he was somewhat restless, mainly wanting to become famous... Often, cursing already famous people was a shortcut to fame, so Han Fanghao did not stop cursing Li Chenchan.
After thinking for some time, he posted on Weiboā
"Looking at the book 'Those Ming Dynasty Things,' there is an unstoppable flavor of being humorous just for the sake of being humorous. I think this is a trick the author used to get good sales, and this is precisely what I feel needs to be pointed out. Author Li Chenchan can use this method to attract attention, so I believe that in his life, he is also a person accustomed to taking shortcuts. He may have a little talent, but it won't be too high."
Han Fanghao's Weibo post immediately poured fuel on the fire!
Most people immediately came to denounce Han Fanghao, thinking he was unscrupulous and that he attacked another author's character without ever meeting him, which was extremely unfair.
"Ridiculous! Using one's imagination to judge another person's character from a thousand miles away is too ridiculous!" After seeing Han Fanghao's Weibo post, Wu Yantian immediately retaliated on his own Weibo! Wu Yantian had over 500,000 followers, more than ten times that of Han Fanghao, and quickly gained a lot of resonance.
"Han Fanghao just wants to become famous, don't fall for his tricks!"
"This person will do anything to become famous, truly despicable!"
"Just a scoundrel!"
Seeing everyone cursing him, Han Fanghao was so angry that his nose was twisted. After thinking for a while, he said, "Regardless of what 'Those Ming Dynasty Things' is, isn't this writing style just a way to attract attention? What achievements does the author Li Chenchan really have? At least, I have never heard of this person's name before..."
After Han Fanghao's Weibo post, among those who witnessed it, some were indignant, angry at Han Fanghao's relentless attacks, but many others indeed had some doubtsāindeed, they had never heard of Li Chenchan's name before. Who is this Li Chenchan?
What kind of person is he?
Why is there no specific introduction of Li Chenchan in "Those Ming Dynasty Things"?
Amidst the various discussions and speculations, one thing did not make them wait longāLi Chenchan's name came out, and in a shocking way!
Someone revealed that the author of "Those Ming Dynasty Things," Li Chenchan, was this year's top scorer in the liberal arts in Tianfu Province! Moreover, he was also the author of the recently very popular songs "Deskmate," "Brother on the Upper Bunk," and "Friend"!
When this news broke, many people could hardly believe their eyes, and soon, the Rongcheng Hundred Flowers Publishing House, Rongcheng No. 1 High School, and Star Creation Music Production Company quickly confirmed the matter.
Suddenly, the internet was in a state of panic!
Heaven! Such a genius as Li Chenchan actually exists!
"I've heard those songs! Especially 'Friend'! I almost cried! I thought it was just a coincidence in names, but now I realize that the singer and the author of the book are both Li Chenchan! That Han Fanghao can go to hell! Li Chenchan's talent is right here, the top scorer in the liberal arts in Tianfu Province, is this just for show?"
"Turns out Li Chenchan is so talented... and he just graduated from the college entrance exam? This is really surprising! I love those songs, and I love 'Those Ming Dynasty Things.' Now, hearing that they are all by the same person, and he also scored the top in the liberal arts in Tianfu Province, I really feel that heaven is too biased towards him!"
"Top scorer in the liberal arts, best-selling author, and best-selling song singer... Li Chenchan is really awesome!"
For a moment, the internet was flooded with voices!
