Chapter 232 Shortest Fiction Collection
The topic of the new book "The Little Prince" is in full swing, and various analyses are emerging one after another. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
After several news, the day after "Pinocchio" won the award, that is, on the 7th, the sales reached the top, and more than 118,000 copies were sold in one day nationwide.
You must know that in today's era when piracy is rampant and e-books are developed, 30,000 copies are all hot sellers, and Pinocchio almost sold four hot sellers in one day.
Blinded the eyes of the people who eat melons, which made many authors envious.
"A fairy tale can also sell the sales of a hot-selling book, Han Gongzi is really Han Gongzi, pity my sales of 20,000 copies, I am really envious and jealous. ”
"This kind of sales can't be envied, although Han Gongzi is young, he has an old pen and a first-class level of storytelling, this kind of thing can't be envied. ”
On the 8th, although sales fell by about 40 percent, there were still more than 62,000 copies, and two were hot sellers.
Just like when Mo Yan won the Nobel Prize in Literature on Earth, all the news reports were Mo Yan, of course, it was just an analogy, and now Han Shi is far from being compared with Mo Yan, but this kind of momentum that everyone discusses is really similar.
As an aside, in 2012, most people had the impression that Mo Yan won the Nobel Prize in Literature for "Frog", but in fact it was not, Frog was published in China in 09, and the earlier English version was published in 14 years, while the Swedish version was later, in short, there was no award at the time.
So in fact, the Nobel Prize in Literature was awarded to Mo Yan, and the year before Mo Yan, Trundrom, and the year after Alice Munroe, were awarded to the author.
To get back to the point, although Pinocchio's sales have soared and it has won awards, it still hasn't accepted any invitations to interviews and TV programs, and is at home.
It was written "The Little Prince".
Because of Han Shi, there are two people who are angry, one is Chang He, deputy editor-in-chief of Modu Publishing House, and Meng Tao, editor-in-chief of Huadu Daily.
Let's talk about the former first, two days before Han Shi received the award, Chang He also asked on the phone if there was any new book idea, and Han Shi naturally answered no.
However, the name of the new book was directly revealed at the award ceremony, Chang He was bitter, of course, what was even more bitter was that Chang He called over and obviously wanted to get angry, but he was suppressed.
"Han Gongzi, what are you trying to make a fuss about? Didn't you say that you didn't have a new book idea before? Why do you even think of a name now? Chang He said on the phone.
Han Shi replied: "After that day." ”
"It was only two days ago, and it wasn't long. Tsunega said.
"I thought of it in the past two days. Han Shi flickered seriously.
"......" Tsunega found that he was speechless.
"This Sunday, make an appointment to talk about the contract. Han Shi said, and he didn't know what kind of mood Chang He was having, so he hung up the phone.
Now let's talk about the latter one, Meng Tao.
Newspaper.
"It's finally sent, it's not easy. Meng Tao breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the document sent by Han Shi in the mailbox, and he was not interested in drinking the tea in his hand, so he hurriedly opened it.
Previously, the newspaper and Han Shi reached a verbal agreement to have a short story every week, but since "Dr. S's Pillow", Han Shi has not written it.
Now I owe seven or eight articles, and if you think about it, you can see that the message area of the electronic version has been opened.
For example, a message like this:
"Why isn't it a short story of Han Gongzi, where did Han Gongzi go?"
"I'm not targeting the author of today's short story, I'm targeting everyone, who is inferior to Han Gongzi. ”
"Originally, it was to watch the app under Han Gongzi, but now it's gone, so let's unload it. ”
Like this, Han Shi's short stories are still very popular, and the electronic version of Huadu Daily has lost a lot of traffic, and Meng Tao is in a hurry.
It's almost a phone call a day, and there are many good things, and today I finally succeeded.
But the content -
Clicking on the developed document, Meng Tao found that the document was very small, less than 2kb, which means less than 1,000 words.
"Is it a computer data error? Otherwise, there are seven or eight articles in less than a thousand words, and even a short story should not be so small. ”
A bad premonition suddenly appeared in Meng Tao's mind.
Name: "Han Shi's Shortest Novel Collection"
Seeing this name, Meng Tao's brows couldn't help frowning, what the hell.
Synopsis: The shortest novel, challenging the limits of words.
The first and shortest mini-novel: "The Lion Hunt of the Báb"
[Elivina's brother Flett accompanied her husband Báb on a hunting trip to Africa, and soon after, she received a telegram from her brother at home: "Báb has died while hunting lions—Flett.] ”
Ellie was overwhelmed with grief and called her brother back: "Carry his body home." ”
Three weeks later, a large package arrived from Africa containing a lion carcass.
She sent another telegram: "The lion received." Brother, please send back the corpse of Babu. ”
Soon, a call back was received from Africa: "Yes, the body of the Babu is inside the belly of the lion." - Flett. ”

After Meng Tao read it, he was a little ignorant, the first is that it is too short, and it is gone before he sees anything, which is probably more than 300 words.
The short three-hundred-word story is quite complicated, and I still haven't understood it after reading it this time, so read it again.
I can probably understand what this shortest miniature novel is about, the story is about Illavina's husband Babu and her brother Flett going hunting, and then the brother says that her husband Babu died while hunting lions.
Elivina said, "Bring the body back."
Then Flett didn't understand the meaning of the words, so he sent back the carcass of the lion.
Illavina wrote back and said that she had received it, but it was wrong, and I wanted the body of my husband, not the body of a lion.
In the end, Flett replied that there was no mistake, the body of Illavina's husband Babu was in the lion's belly, and it was simply eaten by the lion.
"In less than 300 words, you can write a story with such twists and turns, challenging the limits of words, this is really not a casual statement. Meng Tao was a little convinced, this shortest miniature novel is worthy of its name.
In fact, it is easy to write shorter, but it is difficult to write shorter, and there are such twists and turns.
"It's too short, if it were sent out as an issue, the reader would fall out. Meng Tao thought so in his heart, and prepared to publish the two shortest stories together.
Speaking of which, Meng Tao is still too naïve, because the next one is shorter.
The second shortest moral and ethical religious novel: "The Dispute between Buddhism and the Path"
[Bald donkey, dare to compete with the poor Dao?
(ENDS)]
The third shortest mystery novel: "The Irrefutable Reasoning"
[He is dead, must have lived.]

Meng Tao: "......"
