The gardener's affair is just a small episode, and the most important thing today is actually Zhuang Yan's new book.

Since the last Pu Songling Award ceremony, Zhuang Yan revealed that he would release a new book, and readers' appetites have been aroused.

At first, there was speculation that it might be a sequel to Bordertown, because the time between the two books was too short.

Later, when the title of the book "The Old Man and the Sea" came out, this statement disappeared, because no one would associate "Border City" with the words "The Old Man and the Sea".

However, there are still some readers who like to spoof and make a brief introduction to the yet-to-be-released "The Old Man and the Sea", forcibly linking the two books together.

The spoof profile was quite popular during that time, and Zhuang Yan was also curious to take a look.

In terms of introduction, in fact, "The Old Man and the Sea" is the sequel to "Border City", and the old man in it refers to the send-off.

He never came back, but he met a boat passenger from overseas on the river, and he became fascinated by the sea.

Fascinated by the sea, he left his family's hometown and ran to the sea alone to run his life, running for decades, and finally became a dying old man.

That's what the introduction basically means, but it's a little more detailed.

No one takes this profile seriously, it's just a joke. Readers are still looking forward to what Zhuang Yan's new book came about.

Finally, today, after the new book came out, the veil of "The Old Man and the Sea" was finally lifted.

The Old Man and the Sea sold well, but that doesn't say anything. Does it mean that people prefer it to "Alive" and "The Catcher in the Rye"? No, no.

The reason why most people buy it home is because of Zhuang Yan's signboard, and they will think that since Zhuang Yan can write books like "Alive" and "Border City", it makes perfect sense to write other good books.

But after many people buy the book and take it home to read, they are disappointed in their hearts, because the plot of this book of tens of thousands of words is too plain in their opinion, and it is full of a lot of old man's self-talk and inner monologue.

A boat, a man, and a school of fish, the plot is repetitive, there are no ups and downs at all, and the plot is passionate.

Not only that, the writing style of this book is flat and straightforward, simple and direct, which is completely incomparable with the beautiful words of "Border City".

This is the thinking of many people, especially young people, and even some readers who are very fond of Zhuang Yan, think that this book is a bit too wordy.

But none of them dared to say it on the Internet, because no one dared to challenge Zhuang Yan's authority.

So until the gardener incident was hot in the evening, there was not much talk about "The Old Man and the Sea" on the Internet.

Still, no matter what, what should come is still coming.

Not long after Zhuang Yan posted a new FOF, the famous Chinese writer Tie Xin also updated his FOF.

There aren't many fans of Iron Heart, and even fewer young people know about him, but when he updated this FOF, almost everyone knew about him.

His latest FOF wrote: I thought there was a breakthrough in the new work, but I never thought that it was like clear water, without any aftertaste.

Tie Xin did not name whose new book it was, but it had to be immediately reminiscent of him talking about Zhuang Yan, because Zhuang Yan released a new book today.

Some people saw this fof, and it was not a big deal to see the excitement, so they immediately forwarded the fof, and some people also commented on Aite Zhuang Yan.

Before that, there were basically no negative reviews about "The Old Man and the Sea" on the Internet, but when this FOF came out, it seemed that a gap was opened all of a sudden, and readers who had not said it had expressed their opinions under this FOF.

"Teacher Tie Xin is really right, the new book is really not interesting at all. ”

"It's still the old artist's evaluation, and I can't read it after reading half of this book. ”

"Rory's rambling all the time, the old man and the sea? I think it's the old man talking to himself. ”

"Is Zhuang Yan crazy for money? Write a book to fool us?"

Of course, there are also fans of Zhuang Yan who came to refute it.

"Have you read it carefully, just talk nonsense, you can't feel the power of this book, I don't blame you, but please shut up, okay?"

"Where did you get the courage to say Zhuang Yan, are you jealous that other people's books sell better than you?"

"The waves in front of the Yangtze River were photographed on the beach, of course, I was unwilling and wanted to come out and jump. ”

Regarding the comments of Zhuang Yan's fans, those netizens who don't like "The Old Man and the Sea" immediately jumped out to besiege them.

"Hehe, it's ridiculous, the iron-hearted old-timer, as a senior in the literary world, is it his blessing to point out the juniors, is there something wrong with it?"

"How long has Zhuang Yan just come out, and he doesn't even listen to the words of his seniors?"

"Isn't it just that I just won a Pu Songling Award, and I don't have a strong heart?

The two sides have been in contact with each other, and they are scolding.

Zhuang Yan quickly learned about this matter, and deliberately ran under Tiexin's FOF to look at it for a while, not only looking at his FOF, but also reading the comments that were messed up in a pot of porridge underneath.

Of course, the comments under Zhuang Yan's FOF are not much better than those on Tiexin's side.

After all, as one of the parties involved, when this incident happened, everyone would think of him immediately.

Seeing that many people in the comments expressed their disappointment with "The Old Man and the Sea", Zhuang Yan was also a little strange, because this was the first time that the work was unsuitable.

Zhuang Yan can see that these people who can't say it well are basically not water armies, and they are really disappointed in "The Old Man and the Sea".

Holding his chin and thinking about it for a while, Zhuang Yan probably thought of the reason why he was not adapted.

The storyline of the book "The Old Man and the Sea" is indeed very monotonous, and the writing technique is also very simple, even more simple and clear than Yu Hua.

People read the book with hope, but they didn't expect to see any wonderful plot at the end, and of course they will be disappointed.

As for the fragmented thoughts of the criticized old man in the middle, the same is true, repetitive, monotonous, and simply boring.

From this point of view, Tiexin's evaluation is indeed pertinent, but it is limited to the previous half of the sentence "just like clear water".

Because Zhuang Yan does not admit that this book is "no aftertaste", because as long as you feel it well, you can experience the power that goes deep into the heart in those simple plots and almost wordy self-talk.

The book was written in the last world shortly after World War II, when the world was devastated and people had not yet recovered from the wounds they had suffered in the war. So at that time, such a powerful and courageous book was sought after by people as soon as it came out.

But this world is different, decades have passed since the war, and people now mostly live happily ever after. They can feel the progress of life every day, so it's hard to find strength in such a bland story.

Lu Xun said that listening to thunder in a silent place, but some people have never even seen thunder, so how can they listen to thunder in a silent place.
