Chapter 11 The Lonely Monkey (Part 2)
"Does your boss have any new books recently?" Zhou Ye, a person who has just graduated from university and has not found a job, likes to read novels the most, but he doesn't like to read e-books on his mobile phone. Because this hurts his eyes too much, he likes to buy physical books, and most of his pocket money is spent on buying books.
"Of course there are new books. The new books that were published just today are just in the front row of the bookshelf to read by yourself." The owner of the bookstore.
Zhou Ye moved to the bookshelf and saw the new book "The Legend of Wukong" mentioned by the bookstore owner. When he saw the name Zhou Ye was stunned, "This is not the poster of Journey to the West, right?" Zhou Ye picked up the novel with a scrutiny look.
The cover of the novel is a monkey standing on a tall lonely peak, arrogant and independent, looking at the world, this should be Sun Wukong. If Sun Wukong was so domineering, it would make sense.
Due to the promotion of CCTV's TV series, the big fuss in the sky, the Dragon Palace borrowing treasures, and the modification of life and death books are all well-known stories. It is said that CCTV is also investing heavily this year to prepare for a new version of Journey to the West.
It is reasonable to be able to do such a thing, but Zhou Ye saw a hint of sadness and loneliness in the cover, as if it was the kind of spirit that even millions of people would go.
[The 14-year-old genius writer Su Shichen is meticulously written!]
"A novel written by a 14-year-old kid can be published, and the publishing level is getting lower and lower now." Zhou Ye said disdainfully. Fourteen is just a junior high school student. What good novels can you write? You are a genius writer, a joke! Put down the novel, but Zhou Ye thought that there were no new books to read anyway, so he reluctantly opened them and read them.
"I want this day to be unable to cover my eyes, I want this land to be unable to bury my heart, I want all sentient beings to understand my intentions, and I want all the Buddhas to disappear."
The title page, a domineering introduction instantly caught Zhou Ye's eye. Now that online novels are developing in this way, there are naturally various pretentious introductions, but from the introduction of this book, there is a hint of other flavor in addition to domineering—
I want all sentient beings to understand my intention, what does it mean?
I want all these Buddhas to disappear, why do I want all the Buddhas to disappear?
Zhou Ye is sure that there is absolutely no such sentence in the original text of Journey to the West, which means that this sentence was added by the author, so who said this sentence?
Sun Wukong? Or who?
Interested suddenly.
"I bought this book by the boss."
I went home with the "Book of Wukong", and there were many people in Yangcheng who were interested in this book because of the introduction of the title page.
At the same time, Deyun Publishing House also made the first round of momentum.
"The post-90s generation is not as good as the post-80s generation, and tells OUT that the post-90s generation, the 14-year-old genius writer is going to be the first to travel to the West!" - Fashion Morning News
"The Legend of Wukong is born, are you ready?" - Independent Issue
"Su Shichen: A Fourteen-year-old writer." - People Evening News
I have to say that Deyun Publishing House has great financial resources. On this day, the main page of Qibazi newspapers published about "The Legend of Wukong".
However, this round of momentum is not over yet.
The famous commentator Xin Ping published an article on the school’s publication.
"The Spirit of a Generation"
I accidentally saw this novel, but found that it was written by a fourteen-year-old classmate. I would think about what I was doing when I was fourteen. I was thinking about villain books every day, or playing marbles. I couldn't remember it. Anyway, I was not so good that I could publish a book.
Therefore, I am looking forward to the novel written by this fourteen-year-old novelist. I watched the full text but found that the quality is good. Let me analyze the characters in this novel a little bit-
The protagonist of the novel, Sun Wukong: He is a great eternal hero, but this hero is tragic. It is like the image of a tragic hero in Western culture. He has the spirit of eliminating everything, but he does not have the wisdom to resolve everything. He represents the courage of mankind to never give in.
Tang Seng, who is Jin Chanzi's past, is also an amazing hero. In this book, his return to mine is no less than Sun Wukong, and he dares to directly challenge the authority of Tathagata.
His ambition is so great, but so hard, it symbolizes the hope of mankind to break free from all constraints and obtain true evolution.
Human nature has desires, which is the source of joy and pain. Zhu Bajie, his infatuation is no less than that of anyone, no less than that of Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai who turned into life and death, earned countless tears.
It symbolizes human yearning and pursuit for a better life. Maybe this pursuit is ordinary, maybe this pursuit is simple, but it is persistent!
Monk Sha, I know that many people are mocking Monk Sha, mocking Monk Sha’s “slaveness”, mocking Monk Sha’s “pedantic”, and mocking Monk Sha’s “obedience”. His efforts five hundred years ago only became servants of the immortal’s roller shutters.
But I couldn't laugh. Monk Sha actually represents the large logarithmic people in the world, they represent you and me. Monk Sha was powerless to resist. His strength was insufficient to Sun Wukong and his wisdom was insufficient to Tang Monk. What would he resist?
He wants to live a peaceful and stable life, even as a servant, in fact, this is the wrong of most people. It is safe and stable, simple, but this seemingly simple wrong is a luxury for Monk Sha. His fate has long been decided, and he cannot control himself or resist the arrangement of fate. Monk Sha represents the weak and obedient side of human nature. Everyone has this side, and laughing at him is laughing at ourselves.
"The Legend of Wukong" is definitely worth watching, recommended by Xinping.
Comments float like snowflakes. Of course, the most important comment is still published in the campus magazine. As long as the content of the campus magazine is specifically aimed at students, let alone Yangcheng, it has a considerable influence in the entire south. The main consumers are junior high school students, high school students, and college students.
Zhuo Luo, the editor-in-chief of the campus magazine, is a famous novelist. His novels are often ranked among the top ten in sales, and he specializes in writing some campus romance books, which has a great influence on students.
Zhuo Luo published an article on Su Shichen's new book "The Biography of Wukong" in the campus magazine.
"The Lonely Monkey"
The Biography of Wukong is very popular. It was written by the 14-year-old genius writer Su Shichen. I wondered when it was so easy to publish a book. Even the books written by a 14-year-old junior high school student could be published.
What’s even more strange is that this novel is actually pretty good!
Su Shichen's name is not unfamiliar with it. The first time I saw this name was on Yangcheng Daily. A comment on an environmental protection article written by Zhao Dandan, editor-in-chief of Yangcheng Daily. "Hey - Come Out" is an essay that uses science fiction novels to remind people to protect the environment. As a junior high school student, Su Shichen's level of this article completely exceeds that of college students, and I am not wrong. Even if this article is published on my campus journal, it is more than enough.
I did a detailed investigation, but found that Su Shichen, who is known as a genius writer, was the same person as the one who wrote this article, undoubtedly.
Most people may have a question. Even if a 14-year-old junior high school student writes a good article, it does not mean that he can write novels. The article can be as high as five or six thousand words, less than ten thousand words, but the novel can only be as fast as one hundred thousand words. Is this genius writer's name hype? At first I also had such doubts, and I would think of human nature like this.
However, after I finished reading "The Legend of Wukong", this doubt disappeared. Su Shichen used another perspective to write Journey to the West, and was worried that the novel would not be able to continue gambling due to naive writing. There is no need to worry. The Wenfeng of the whole novel is similar to prose. Writing novels with the brushwork of prose will definitely look very messy. However, Su Shichen did the characteristics of prose into the novel.
What are the characteristics of prose? Teachers should have read this. The shape is scattered but the meaning is not scattered. The whole novel is almost developed by a dialogue mode. This is a major test for the author in controlling the text, but Su Shichen did it and felt ashamed of himself in this regard.
Just from the writing style, the name of a genius novel is well deserved. Of course, this novel is not a novel with just writing style but no content. I was particularly impressed by the words of Sun Wukong in the whole book.
God will not save anyone, but you are the one who can save you.
If you die, you can't change anything, but as long as you are alive, you can change everything.
It is true that you rely on the mountains and mountains to fall, and you can only rely on yourself.
Indeed, only living people can change the world. In the novel, Sun Wukong is a hero, a great hero, but few people can understand the loneliness of heroes.
"To me, any place is home. But some people put their homes in a certain part of the world, so they can't find it and die on the road."
"You are wrong. I'm not forgetting everything, I have nothing."
"You think you have many roads to choose from, but there are many invisible walls around you. In fact, you only have one road to go."
Sometimes it is really like this, not to forget everything, but to really have nothing. The monkey is certainly a hero, but he is also a lonely monkey!
The monkey had no other way out, there was only one way in front of him.
Zhuo Luo's article has at least increased the sales of the early "The Legend of Wukong".
On the first day, under the hot publicity, Su Shichen, the new writer, sold 12,000 copies of "The Legend of Wukong".
The purchasing levels of each country are different. If you sell about 50,000 yuan a year on Earth, it is a bestseller. If you sell 200,000 yuan, it can be called a super bestseller. If you can buy 500,000 to 1 million yuan, it is a super red book.
In this world, the people's purchasing power of books and the blow to piracy is very powerful, and only 500,000 yuan can become a bestseller.
But even so, the sales of 12,000 copies on the first day was an amazing skill. Of course, Yangcheng City contributed the most, because although Deyun Publishing House is one of the top publishers in Yangcheng, its influence on Yangcheng is not so great. Therefore, with the sales of 12,000 copies on the first day, Yangcheng contributed at least seven or eight thousand copies. In addition, it relied on the influence of campus magazines to sell it, and only three or four thousand copies were sold.
However, Su Shichen has also become completely famous. Now, as long as anyone who cares a little about literature in Yangcheng knows that a genius writer has appeared in the Experimental Junior High School. At the age of fourteen, he not only wrote a thought-provoking science fiction mini novel about environmental protection, but also published a novel that is being sold well, at least known around Yangcheng. In other words, Su Shichen is now a well-known writer.
