When Yu Dong came out of Jinling Hotel, his nose felt cold.
It's raining?
He raised his head and saw snowflakes falling from the sky.
It turned out to be snowing.
It did snow a few days ago, but it was the kind of light snow that couldn't be accumulated, and sometimes the ground wasn't even wet.
Look at the snow tonight, it shouldn't be too light.
Yu Hua and Bi Feiyu rushed over from behind. Seeing the snow falling outside, Yu Hua blushed and said with a smile, "It's snowing."
The two of them drank a lot tonight. They drank a lot in Luoyuan. When they came here, Spielberg and the others caught them drinking.
Bi Feiyu burped, "Hiccup - it's snowing well. I'll be able to have a good sleep tomorrow. If it doesn't work, I'm here to feel it..."
Yu Hua grabbed Bi Feiyu's arm, "Big or small?"
Bi Feiyu threw his hand away and said angrily: "Whatever big or small, I said I'll feel it, I want to write something."
"It's your fault for not making it clear..." Yu Hua muttered, "I've come to feel it too... The road in front of the Jinling Hotel is covered with snow, as if it's sprinkled with salt."
"Fart, you've used this before."
"Fart, I used it differently before. I said it was moonlight before. You are awesome. Can you tell me something?"
Bi Feiyu shook his head and began to brew his feelings, then said: "Eight...hey, how many years have I been in Jinling?"
"Nine years." Yu Dong said with a smile, "I'll keep it in mind for you."
"It's better that the members are kind to me." Bi Feiyu nodded with a smile, and then continued: "It has been nine years, and Jinling has become more beautiful. When I came here, Jinling was made of cement horizontally, and it was still cement vertically...nine years
Jinling became beautiful in a short time, the dingy Jinling turned into colorful Jinling, the slow Jinling turned into fast Jinling. I stood in front of the Jinling Hotel, so happy. At that time, there was only Jinling Hotel in Xinjiekou.
It has one pillar to support the sky. Now, the Jinling Hotel is sunk in the middle of a lot of buildings. The taller the building, the shorter the people..."
"Well, the taller the building is, the shorter the person is. Well written..." Yu Hua rubbed his face, held another handful of snow, and said with a smile: "I must be drunk, otherwise I wouldn't be able to write these
Looks like snow."
Bi Feiyu said, "They are snow."
Yu Hua nodded, "Well, they are snow, but if I were not drunk, I would probably see them as salt, as foam, as moonlight, but not as snow. A sober Yu Hua, a writer Yu Hua
, like to look at the world from a perspective that they think is different, or truly different. A sober Yu Hua, when hearing Comrade Bi Feiyu say this is snow, will definitely cover his ears and say, I don’t listen, I don’t listen.
, they are salt, foam, and moonlight."
Yu Dong smiled and said: "I think you didn't drink too much, you were suffering from alcohol poisoning and there was something wrong with your brain."
Yu Hua grabbed Yu Dong's arm again and said, "Why don't you say something embarrassing?"
"It's such a snowy day, with two drunkards around me, how can I feel like that?" Yu Dong wanted to throw Yu Hua's arm away, but he couldn't. He couldn't help but curled his lips and said, "Then I'll do it for you.
Two sentences...Winter is coming, can spring be far behind? Answer, spring is actually still far away."
"Then what?"
"Then we have to go home quickly. It will snow heavily soon and the road will be difficult to walk."
Yu Dong didn't want to play with Yu Hua and the others anymore, so he directly grabbed the two of them by their arms and dragged them into the car.
The three of them got into the car noisily. The snow in Jinling was getting heavier and heavier. It didn't look like moonlight, foam, or salt, but like white boats floating leisurely in the black ocean.
…
Yu Dong finally understood why Li Bai loved drinking so much. It turned out that drinking really helped improve his poetry.
Even a poet-illiterate like Yu Hua can come up with a few crooked poems after drinking a little wine.
"The snowflakes in Jinling are as big as a mat, and they fall into my heart."
"Three strange knights vying for the favor of Goose Feixue."
“It’s snowy in Jinling and it’s hard to see cars on the road.”
"I saw the heavy snow pressing down on the green pine trees. It must be very tiring to see how green the pine trees are."
…
Yu Dong looked at Yu Hua, who was in a poetic mood in the back seat, and gently touched his forehead. This guy had never had this symptom before.
When the car arrived at Luoyuan, Yu Dong and the driver sent the two of them back to their respective rooms. They were already sweating from exhaustion.
When they returned to their own small building, Cheng Yanqiu was still awake. She had just watched the Spring Festival Gala with her elders. Now she felt a little tired, so she came back to sleep.
She wanted to wait for Yu Dong to come back, so she leaned on the sofa and took a nap with a copy of "In Search of Lost Time".
As soon as Yu Dong opened the door, she woke up and said, "You are back."
She rubbed her eyes and saw a layer of snow falling on Yu Dong's shoulders again, and asked in surprise: "Is it snowing outside?"
"It's raining heavily. We can build a snowman tomorrow."
Cheng Yanqiu smiled and said, "Then let's build a snowman together tomorrow morning."
Looking at the joy in Cheng Yanqiu's eyes, Yu Dong smiled and suddenly remembered that in the winter a few years ago, Cheng Yanqiu came to his window skipping in a red coat and asked: "It's snowing, shall we build a snowman?"
?”
…
On the first day of the new year, when Cheng Yanqiu woke up, he found that his side was empty and Yu Dong had already gotten up.
She got up wrapped in a blanket, searched around the room, and then found Yu Dong in the study.
Yu Dong was writing at his desk with a serious look on his face. Looking from the side of Yu Dong's face, he could just see the snowy world outside the window.
It's like a hard-working painter who worked overtime all night and painted the whole world white.
She did not bother Yu Dong and was about to go to the bathroom to wash up, but Qin Fang's voice came from downstairs, "Luoluo, Yu Dong, come down for breakfast."
"coming."
Yu Dong and Cheng Yanqiu responded at the same time. Then Yu Dong looked at Cheng Yanqiu and laughed, "You're awake."
"I've been awake for a while, what are you writing?"
Yu Dong put down his pen, "Suddenly I got some inspiration and I am working on the structure of the novel."
"What does it have to do with?"
Yu Dong grinned and said: "Snowman."
Cheng Yanqiu thought for a while and said, "It sounds quite warm."
"Well, it's very warm, especially suitable for watching when it snows."
When he said this, Yu Dong couldn't help laughing. He felt a little embarrassed for lying to his wife like this.
His "inspiration" was actually "The Snowman", which was originally supposed to be a novel by Yau Nesbo, but now Yau Nesbo continues to make music.
Judging from Yu Nesbo's current situation, he would definitely not write any more thriller novels. Yu Dong simply showed his kindness and helped him write this novel.
"The Snowman" is the first novel written by Yosef Nesbo that Yu Dong read. When he finished reading this novel, Yu Dong sighed with emotion, Yos Nesbo is a detective novelist with a very strong writing ability.
Its ability to render atmosphere is top-notch even among thriller novelists.
Yu Dong originally thought that Yo Nesbo was an old writer who had been immersed in this art for many years. After doing some research, he discovered that Yo Nesbo was actually a rock star and financial analyst before.
Yo Nesb was one of those people who was fed by God, and God was worried that he would not be able to get used to his tricky taste, so God fed him several kinds of food.
Football player, financial analyst, rock star, horror king...His talents in any aspect are difficult for ordinary people to obtain, but he does well in every aspect.
Although Yo Nesbo will now lose his title as the King of Thrillers, he will also become more famous in rock music.
The beginning of "The Snowman" has a very scary atmosphere. A mother takes her child to find her lover. While she was having an affair with her lover, the little boy was left in the car. The lover said that someone was peeking, but the mother only saw what was outside the window.
snowman.
On the way home, the little boy said, "We are all going to die."
Then the scene changed, and the protagonist Harry began the investigation of serial murders.
The tone of this book is relatively dark, and the narrative of the story adopts the form of multiple parallel lines. Because the protagonist has no halo, it seems a bit unexciting, but the multi-line story can always arouse the curiosity of readers.
Yo Nesbo's mystery novels, or Western mystery novels, are very different from Eastern mystery novels. Eastern mystery novels like to cover the readers' eyes, so that readers cannot see all the clues and cannot judge who is the murderer.
Often there is a reversal effect at the end.
However, many Western mystery novels like to give readers various clues and let the readers stand from God's perspective. In this way, readers can often guess who the murderer is in advance.
The same goes for "The Snowman". Many people will know who the murderer is after reading this novel.
But the beauty of this book is that even if you can guess who the murderer is, you are still willing to read on and follow the protagonist to solve the mystery, looking forward to the protagonist confronting the murderer head-on.
Yu Dong had actually been thinking about whether to Chineseize this novel and move the story to China, but later he found that it was very difficult.
In addition to being a thriller, "The Snowman" also reflects many social issues that China does not have. For example, the book mentions a social survey result: the fathers of some children in Nordic families are not actually the biological fathers of the children.
, and the proportion is as high as 20%, whether it is Norway, Sweden or Finland.
And this problem cannot be eliminated because it can be said to be the core of the novel.
The murderer was mentally distorted because he was the child of his mother and her lover. This was also the case with the people he killed later.
After much deliberation, Yu Dong decided not to completely Chineseize it, but only to make partial modifications.
…
During the meal, the two elders were discussing how to visit relatives this year.
The Cheng family doesn't have many relatives, so it's easier to get around. The Yu family needs them to go back to Shanghai and stay for a while.
After some discussion, we decided to visit the relatives of the Cheng family first, and then go to Shanghai to visit the relatives of the Yu family.
Yu Hua and Bi Feiyu were originally going to return to their hometown on the first day of the Lunar New Year, but because of the heavy snow, they had to stay in Jinling.
Since they couldn't leave, they gathered together three tables, two tables of mahjong and one table of egg-beating.
At the card table, Yu Hua scolded him several times, but it was obvious that he was quite happy about not being able to return to his hometown.
…
While Yu Dong and the others were busy visiting relatives, the Deep Space Company was already going crazy in the United States.
After New Year's Eve, Jimmy rushed back to the United States.
In the first step, Deep Space launched their first online web game "Xiaxiaole".
This game can be played online for free on the Deep Space website or pogo, but only the first level is free online. To unlock the levels, you need to download it and pay fifteen dollars.
As soon as "Xiao Xiao Le" came out, it quickly became popular.
Deep Space Games has a special counting card. Every time they sell a game, the staff will add the number to the counting card.
When the game was first launched, many people were in the trial stage. Not many people purchased it, and the staff could still operate it. However, after the first wave of trials passed, the sales of the game began to rise crazily, and the staff were overwhelmed.
Come on, you can only change the number once if it's less than 10,000.
Less than a week after it went online, the average daily players reached 30,000, and this number is still rising rapidly. According to predictions, by one month, the daily average is expected to reach 80,000, or even exceed 100,000.
Such results have stunned people in the industry. They did not expect that the first web-based online game produced by Deep Space Company could achieve such a sales miracle, and the game was also very simple.
People have to sigh that Deep Space Company is not only able to make a big impact in the film and television industry, but it is also able to continue this miracle in the gaming industry.
But this is not over yet, what surprises them is yet to come.
Just seven days after the launch of "Xiao Xiao Le", Shen Kong Company launched its second game "Lian Lian Kan".
This game is simpler and does not even have dynamic special effects, but it has been popular among players as soon as it was launched.
And compared to "Xiao Xiao Le", "Lian Lian Kan" has a better visual experience. There are many very interesting cartoon patterns in it, especially the cartoon zombies, which are deeply loved by the majority of "Resident Evil" fans.
Deep Space Company also took the opportunity to launch a series of cartoon figures. These figures are not for sale to the outside world. Players who pay to download can draw a lottery on the official website of Deep Space and have a chance to get a cartoon figure.
In addition to the figures that can be obtained by purchasing the game through lottery, the official website of Deep Space also has an online ranking list. At the end of the monthly list, the top ten will also have the opportunity to obtain figures.
In just one week, the daily average of "Lianliankan" exceeded 40,000, and the daily average of "Xiaoxiaole" exceeded 60,000.
This is not over yet. Just when the sales of the two games are in full swing, Deep Space Company announced the news of their acquisition of PDI and the purchase of "Shrek", and will soon release the "Shrek"-themed "Lianliankan"
》Level.
Later, the cast of "Pirates of the Caribbean" was officially announced, and several character posters were also released.
For more than ten days in a row, the headlines in the entertainment section have been occupied by Deep Space Company. Some companies originally planned to promote this month, but seeing the momentum of Deep Space Company, they simply postponed the promotion.
