On April 20th, under the completely opposite attitude of many domestic netizens looking forward to the drama and Western netizens watching the play, this day finally came. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Before 8 o'clock in the morning, major bookstores across the country hung up billboards early.
Jin Guliang, "the first person in Chinese martial arts", the oriental fantasy debut "The Ethereal Record of Kyushu" was released for the first time today.
At the doors of major bookstores, there are already readers waiting, some of these people are Jin Guliang's martial arts fans, and some are fantasy readers who are curious about gimmicks.
At the beginning, Eastern and Western netizens didn't know how much saliva they sprayed for the scolding war caused by the rankings, and there was a lot of commotion, some people either rushed to support Jin Guliang, or they were really curious about whether the fantasy debut of this martial arts league leader was really as amazing as his title in the literary world.
As soon as eight o'clock arrived, as soon as the bookstore opened, readers poured in, and many bookstores' "Kyushu Ethereal Record-Savage" was sold out and announced to be sold out.
The first volume of "Kyushu" "Wilderness" has only been printed for the first time in the country, and all of them are concentrated in bookstores in first- and second-tier cities.
As a long-standing super bestseller, Jin Guliang will flock to the physical book every time a new book is put on the shelves, which reflects that the audience of his works is very popular in today's withered physical book market.
On the same day, the English version of "A Song of Ice and Fire" was also released on the shelves of small and medium-sized bookstores in several major European and American countries at the same time, after a few hours of jet lag.
It's just that unlike in China, the place where this shelf is placed is full of doors, and few people care about it.
In order to attract customers, some bookstore owners even put up promotional slogans with a mocking tone.
"Do you remember the Eurasian fantasy war a few days ago? 'Dongfang Jin''s new book "A Song of Ice and Fire" is on the shelves, is he a clown?"
In fact, many Western netizens remember this incident, and many corners are also talking about it, but in their tone, "ghosts are willing to waste money watching the fantasy works of an oriental kung fu writer", they use their actions to prove that watching the excitement is to watch, but they don't want to waste money, and strive to hold their necks high, maintaining ridicule and disdain, very arrogant.
In the United States, in a bookstore called "Rota Book House", old Smith with thick white tendrils sat at the cash register and looked at the bookstore with only three or two people in the room, shook his head and sighed, now this bookstore is really getting more and more difficult to operate.
The elder Smith was almost sixty years old, and had been running the bookstore for more than thirty years, when he had nothing to do with his hands, so he took a clean cloth and meticulously sorted and wiped the books on the shelves.
As Smith Sr. sorted out the shelves of his new book, his deep-set eyes stopped on the book A Song of Ice and Fire.
At such an age, Smith Sr. is deaf and blind, and he keeps pace with the times, often surfing the Internet and Facebook. As the owner of a bookstore, he will have heard about the things in the publishing literary world, and he also knows the ins and outs of the war between the East and the West a few days ago, and he also knows that "A Song of Ice and Fire" is a work of Dongfang Jin.
"Wow, I haven't sold a single one, and Dongfang Jin, a Chinese boy, seems to be very unpopular. Boss Smith rolled his beard and trembled, teased himself, pulled out a copy of "A Song of Ice and Fire - Game of Thrones" from it, and then put it on the cash register and read it alone.
Old Smith was just curious about the fantasy novels written by kung fu novelists in the East.
From the first page of the book opened by Smith Sr., just as in all corners of several countries in Europe and the United States, there are a small number of people who either come to buy this book for gimmicks, or just buy it without knowing it, or buy it with a mocking mentality.
A small portion of the first thirty copies were circulated.
With suspicion, curiosity, ridicule, one kind or another, most people opened "A Song of Ice and Fire - Game of Thrones", which once had another world, a good reputation, and an epic saga that can be called a fantasy classic.
The story of "A Song of Ice and Fire" takes place in an illusory medieval world, mainly focusing on the "sunset kingdom" of the West - the continent of Westeros, telling the encounters and experiences of the people there in the political background of the time, the battles and battles of the seven kingdoms, the betrayal of family affection, the suicide of love, and the betrayal of friendship. "Ice" and "fire" are meant to highlight the meaning of human struggle. The book features countless characters, but heroism, dedication, or intrigue are not isolated from each other.
The series has been translated into more than 30 languages, sold worldwide, has tens of millions of fans around the world, and has been adapted into films, television, and plays, making it famous.
This is destined to be the beginning of a legend!
At the same time, when the book "A Song of Ice and Fire" was just opened abroad, readers who bought the first volume of "Kyushu" "Savage" in China were already deeply amazed.
Especially those domestic fantasy fans, when they entered the first chapter of "Wilderness", a grand overhead world painting scroll swept away, the words were as refined as sharp, the words pierced people's eyes, and the words entered the hearts of the people, and their eyes couldn't jump at once.
These fantasy fans are like nectar for a long time, like not eating meat for a long time, and they spent three or four hours immersed in the overhead world of Kyushu without stopping for a moment, and suddenly finished reading more than 100,000 words of "Savage" in one go. After reading it, many people are still unsatisfied with one word -- good, four words --
The domestic fantasy novels of this world, like the others, have only been transmitted from the West for more than 30 years, and they are slowly developing with unique oriental characteristics, and they are a niche in domestic literature. In the past 30 years, although many amazing and brilliant writers have emerged in the domestic fantasy literary circle, they are originally niche and their development potential is very low, which has slowly declined, and many fantasy fans have no good works to follow.
And now, "Kyushu", created by the Seven Heavenly Gods back then, borrowed Ye Chen's hand, with the sentence "The iron armor is still there", the pride can swallow the wind and thunder, the blood can melt the frost, and the edge is gradually revealed.
On this day, in various forums in the domestic fantasy circle, in the post bar, "Kyushu - Wilderness" made the hearts of niche fantasy fans sway, their eyes bright, and breathtaking.
This genius in the literary world is really not in vain!
What no one expected was that on the same day, in another circle in China, a devastating "ten-magnitude earthquake" was occurring!
(ps: This time the protagonist is going to put away the blade.... How do you feel like I'm a virtuous person... Ask for a reward, a monthly pass, give some, full-time is not comfortable!) (To be continued.) )
