Chapter 722: Shining Shawshank (1/4)

On Monday, Yang Yi and Murphy went out together to participate in the parent-child activities held by Xixi Kindergarten!

Murphy has always wanted to participate in her daughter's activities, however, many times, she can only watch Yang Yi go, envious in the back. Either because she had not been exposed by the media at the beginning, she was worried that her identity would bring trouble to her daughter's normal life, or because she was pregnant again, and she could only sigh with joy because of many inconveniences.

In fact, Murphy also received an invitation from the kindergarten last year, wanting her to tell the children about her path to fame, just like Yang Yi's speech when Xixi was still in middle class, Murphy was happy to tell stories in front of her daughter and her classmates, but at that time she was also several months pregnant, so she could only decline.

This parent-child activity held by Springfield Kindergarten, Murphy said that he would go with him, and now even Xixi is already a "big star", how can he have any scruples?

Yang Yi is chic, he has a new book released today, but he left all the matter to the Sahara Press, and he didn't care at all and devoted himself to the production of handicrafts.

Of course, Yang Yi knows that his book, the story is wonderful, the fire is predictable, even if it is not popular, his ultimate goal is not the book, and it will be made into a movie in the future, and it will naturally shine!

......

Mu Yucheng is queuing up again!

"What are you buying today?"

"What else could it be? Yang Yi's new book is on the market today, of course he is buying his book! Aren't you?"

"Hey......

Obviously it was a Monday when he was going to work, but Mu Yucheng still took half a day off, came to a shopping mall near his home early, and lined up at the door of the Aiyu Big Bookstore, waiting to buy Yang Yi's new books.

In fact, Mu Yucheng is also sick, obviously he has ordered this book in advance online, but he still likes to go to the bookstore to queue up, maybe it was the last time he queued up to buy a book and got a good experience, so this time he will come again, right?

Queuing at the door of the bookstore, although waiting is a chore, Mu Yucheng likes this feeling, he can hear the whispered discussions of those readers before and after, and hear others praise Yang Yi, Mu Yucheng, a die-hard fan, is also honored.

Then again, now looking at this big bookstore, Mu Yucheng remembered that under Yang Yi's personal homepage, an insider had posted a post.

said that when Yang Yi's "Soldier Assault" and "Bright Sword" were sold in entities, big bookstore chains such as "Love Reading", "Book Bar" and "Shuxiang Pavilion" looked down on the works of this newcomer online writer.

Later, "Soldier Assault" and "Bright Sword" both sold out and became one of the bestsellers of the year, and these big bookstore chains naturally regretted it!

That insider was a former employee of the promotion department of the "Book Bar" chain bookstore, and he vividly described the appearance of his department manager at that time.

Of course, that's all in the past!

Now almost every book of Yang Yi can be squeezed into the bestseller list, he has become synonymous with quality and sales, and he will not be a chain of big bookstores that can't get along with money, and naturally he will no longer despise Yang Yi, but actively cooperate with Sahara Publishing House to put Yang Yi's books in the most conspicuous position!

Now Mu Yucheng walked into the big bookstore and picked up a copy of Yang Yi's new work from the mountain of books built up in the big open space inside the main entrance, and the pride in his heart spontaneously arose.

"However, why is this book so thin?" Mu Yucheng pinched the thickness of the cover removed, I am afraid that it is only a hardcover book of about a hundred pages, and muttered a little, "The Shawshank Redemption...... Is this a novella?"

After buying the order at the front desk, Mu Yucheng still found a coffee shop like last time, opened the plastic film, and couldn't wait to look through it.

"I guess in every provincial prison and national prison in China, there is a number one person like me......"

Seeing the opening, Mu Yucheng was dumbfounded, how could it be a first-person narration?

However, it's prison again!

Mu Yucheng couldn't help but feel his blood boiling.

Could this be another prison break story?

After Yang Yi, there were countless people who followed the trend to write stories similar to prison escapes, but none of them could write the story wonderfully...... I really can't stand it!

"The Shawshank Redemption", will it be Yang Yi's new prison theme? Can it surpass the classic of "Prison Break"?

Mu Yucheng watched it with such expectations.

The redemption of Shawshank, the name, at first made Mu Yucheng feel that Shawshank should be referring to the name of the protagonist, but it didn't take long for him to be at a loss.

The first-person protagonist is called Fried, and he says that the real protagonist of the story narrated and told in the book is Andy...... Damn the prison name is Shawshank!

Why the name of the book ...... Call the Shawshank Redemption? Not Andy's Redemption, or Fourred's Redemption?

Mu Yucheng read this book very quickly.

Yes, although he did read it very carefully, but the book is not very long, the plot progresses quickly, the rhythm is tight, the conception is tight, and there is no water!

When Yang Yi rewrote this book, a story that he liked very much in his previous life, he combined the original book and the movie, and the content increased slightly, but it was still in a reasonable range.

I don't know how long I watched it, but it certainly didn't take long, Mu Yucheng was about to turn to the end, and when he saw Andy on the night when Fried thought he was going to commit suicide, it suddenly seemed to evaporate from the air and disappeared into Shawshank Prison, Mu Yucheng was shocked!

Especially after seeing that the prison warden inadvertently discovered the hole that Andy had spent nearly twenty years digging out, Mu Yucheng understood!

Or jailbreak!

Mu Yucheng was also convinced, although he had a faint premonition when he saw the book introducing Andy and Fried to buy a small hammer, but he looked at everything Andy actively did in Shawshank Prison later, and felt that this person would not escape from prison......

I didn't expect Andy to be so meticulous and long-term...... Mu Yucheng vaguely understood why Yang Yi wanted to use Fu Ruide's perspective to describe the whole story.

Only in this way can the suddenness and unexpectedness of events be vividly reflected! If the reader knows everything from God's point of view, then the story may become cheesy!

Wait, why do you think jailbreak is cheesy?

Mu Yucheng was shocked, he found that he had unconsciously replaced this initially inconspicuous book with the status of "Prison Break" in his mind.

The story that happened at the end of "The Shawshank Redemption" still holds Mu Yucheng's heartstrings, but what Mu Yucheng remembers more deeply at this moment is Andy's escape!

After Mu Yucheng closed the book, he breathed a long sigh of relief, although there was a lot of reluctance, but after reading such a book, Mu Yucheng had a sense of satisfaction after the high tide.

Such a story is like a mole in my heart, which can't be removed, so it's stuck there, and it's like a pot of fragrant strong tea, which makes people have endless aftertaste!

Mu Yucheng couldn't help but turn on his mobile phone, find the group of book friends, and see what they felt after reading this book.

In order not to spoil it, someone set up a small discussion group to chat after reading, and after Mu Yucheng added it, he saw a group of people shouting excitedly.

"A work of gods, an absolute work of gods! Yang Yida's book came out, I'm afraid no one in the literary world will dare to question his status anymore!"

"Xiong Di, did you eat Yang Yi's "White Night Walking" and "Anxiety Relief Grocery Store"? There are also "Soldier Assault", "Bright Sword" and so on, aren't those books also masterpieces?"

"It's different, I think the depth of thought expressed in "The Shawshank Redemption" is even higher!"

"I agree with this! Look at those sentences in Yang Dada, I can see that my scalp is really numb!"

The book friend couldn't help but pick it up and hit it out with his hand: "You know, some birds are not destined to be locked in cages, and every feather of them shines with the brilliance of freedom!"

"Seeing this sentence, I feel like I want to jump off a dozen floors, I want to fly, I want to be free!"

"Haha, there's a crazy one upstairs!"

"I also have a saying here: these walls are interesting. When you first go to prison, you hate the walls around you, and slowly you get used to living in them, and eventually you find yourself having to live on them. This is called institutionalization. ”

"And this! Fear has made you a prisoner, hoping to set you free. Wait, I remember another ......"

"Yes, this 'I also survived the long lonely night, thinking about it alone in the dark, time was as slow as a knife, it was the longest night of my life', after reading it, I felt that many sentences in this book are as beautiful as poems!"

"My favorite is this sentence: The strong save themselves, and the sage crosses the people! Damn, when I saw this sentence, I wanted to copy it down and make it my life motto!"

Looking at their chat, Mu Yucheng suddenly found that he had patronized and watched the story develop, and he actually missed so many wonderful details!

"Lao Mu has also finished reading, hurry up and tell me what you think!" someone was calling him.

"I've finished reading it, but I still don't think it's enough!" Mu Yucheng replied with emotion, "After reading what you guys talked about, I think I have to watch it again!"

"I don't get tired of reading good books a few times! Lao Mu, I'll also go with you, and I'll go to it twice!"
