"How can it be just an advertisement for a book? And it's still the book of the Chinese people? "Shama was in disbelief, really unbelievable, and at this level of production, the resulting film could definitely be called a blockbuster. No, it should be said that it is a blockbuster, and it is completely believed that this film will definitely be a box office bomb as soon as it comes out, anyway, Shama will not only support herself, but also pull a group of friends to support it.

A rare and wonderful Western fantasy movie!

But the result? But what the result! It's just a promotional video for a book, and it's simply an advertisement!!

Well, don't say it's a book, even if it's an advertisement in any other industry, such as famous cigarettes and wine, brand-name clothing, high-end cosmetics, no matter how profitable the industry is, Shama has never seen such a big advertisement.

"Is it really okay to make such a big advertisement for the promotion of a book?" Shama couldn't help but ask.

Shama had heard the name of "The Frozen Throne" a long time ago, but she never read it, Shama was a loyal supporter of Kode, and in her heart's words, Western fantasy is their Western legend, how can a Chinese person write well.

And in the news report, Su Shichen said that he wanted to use "The Frozen Throne" to surpass the Alien Continent created by Kode, which made Shama feel very bored.

Of course, Shama is not discriminating against Chinese people, she knows that there is a special genre of novels in Huaxia called martial arts, she doesn't believe that Su Shichen can write Western fantasy well and she doesn't believe that a Chinese can write martial arts novels well, the reason is the same. She has read many Chinese novels, including Mitte. Chu's, although trying to imitate the way of thinking of Westerners. But it still feels weird between the characters' dialogues.

Therefore, even if it was revealed that Su Shichen was the legendary black godfather, and even said that "Love Without Boundaries" became the first place on the DD network, she did sound good after listening to it, but Shama still didn't buy the book, but this time it ......

She packed up and went out in a hurry, she was going to buy it and take a look, even if the text was weird, she recognized it. Because she was now desperate to know what the black dragon Deathwing was going to do when it flew out, and she wanted to know who Arthas had won the battle with Illidan, and even more so who Arthas had become one. Weishenme went from being a Death Knight to a Lich King with a mask......

One by one, the questions were like a stubborn physical illness that had been haunting Shama, making her desperate to know the answers to the questions.

Looking at Shama's reaction, Su Shichen's promotion of "The Frozen Throne" is undoubtedly super successful.

Whether it's from the music to the picture. Or from the plot to the characters. Undoubtedly, they have conquered many people. In particular, the ferocious Deathwing and the domineering Arthas attracted a lot of people, which also made many American readers who were originally dismissive of "The Frozen Throne" run to the bookstore.

The six-and-a-half-minute CG animation of "The Frozen Throne" plus the money spent on advertising is really not a small price. But the effect is completely worth it, yesterday's sales exceeded two million and approached three million, looking at today's situation, this is the rhythm of directly breaking through five million!

With a daily sales volume of five million, this sales volume can completely squeeze into the top 20 of the best-selling books in the United States, from the top 50 to the top 20. Some authors may not be able to cross this span in a lifetime, but now Su Shichen has crossed it with an advertisement. What's not worth it?

The first part of Su Shichen's conquest of the rice country can be said to have been completely successful, and the rest is the second part......

Shama rushed to the bookstore in a hurry, and "The Frozen Throne" has been selling well in the past two days, so the bookstore owner also put it in an obvious position, and it can be easily found.

"That's it!" In the hand, it is somewhat heavy.

"So cool! This is what Arthas did after he became the Lich King? Shama exclaimed.

The cover of the English version and the Chinese version only change the name from "Frozen Throne" to "Frozen Throne", so the cover is still the image of Arthas wearing the Lich King's Crown, holding the Frost Sorrow high above the Frozen Throne.

"Why is the price so high?" Shama wondered, "Is it because it's a foreign novel, so it's more expensive?" But this is not right, the price of "Song of the Stars" is normal. ”

It's more expensive, but Shama's strong curiosity really can't help it, so she doesn't care too much, pays the bill at the counter and leaves with the book.

Carrying it home, Shama couldn't wait to open the book, and the first volume she read was naturally "The Betrayal of Alsace".

"Sure enough, just as I thought, Arthas should be the knight who was originally subordinate to the light, and then he was lured by the powerful Liliang and Zuihou defected, this is already an old story, and the only cleverness may be to turn the name of the fallen knight into a death knight."

Seeing the name of the first volume, Shama couldn't help muttering, she had already made up all the plots in her head, and she was still slandering this author for not having any new ideas at all, if she didn't want to know the answer above the promotional animation, she probably wouldn't have read it.

"I hope it's not too weird!" After reading part of the content, Shama had this question in her heart, "Is this really written by a foreigner named su?" ”

This style of brushstrokes is completely Western, and the most important thing is the dialogue of the characters, which is a typical Western model, and if you don't know in advance that the author of this book is Chinese, you won't notice it at all.

People who have not lived in the West will not understand the Western way of life and way of speaking, this is a hard injury, even if you study more Western literature, this point is difficult to make up, in a word, it is in vain. A master writer like Chu Xing, who won the Lifetime Achievement Award at the Hugo Awards, has this problem, but this rule will not work at all when applied to Su Shichen, the most genius.

"I've heard that SU has never been to the United States, but he can write this kind of purely Western-style novel. That's genius! ”

Continuing to read, the story of Alsace slowly unfolds, this "Frozen Throne" is not only a break from the norm. It also broke Shama's obsession that it was impossible for a Chinese to write a good Western fantasy novel.

It is unexpectedly wonderful and ......

Stratholme's killing race, seduced by Naozu, pulls out the sorrow of frost, and one by one the wonderful plots stimulate Shama's brain.

"I'm really thinking too simply, Alsace is not an old-fashioned story of pursuing liliangzuihou depravity." After watching Alsace's defection, she had no idea that it would be so complicated.

Truly. It is indeed not as good as the word Death Knight for Fall, because Arthas's defection cannot be described by the word Fall, his whole psychological process. And the oppression of that environment is very well described.

"The battle between Alsace and Illidan, the winner is Alsace, so it is."

The views of the West and the East are different, and to be precise, the focus is different. It's like the same content. Shama's focus was on Arthas's ascension to the Frozen Throne with the mortal Liliang.

Although the text does not have the intuitive feeling of animation, the text is more detailed. Illidan was scarred and almost broke down, and Arthas felt the Liliang of the Lich King pass through within him during the battle. So this battle is not just two lonely men fighting as the propaganda CG animation filmed, but two exhausted fighters fighting, although zuihou Alsace still wins, but if he wins, he wins, but the liliang in his body is almost gone.

Arthas became a mortal. However, he still ascended the Frozen Throne and wore the Lich King's crown. Merge with it and become the new Lich King, which is the meaning of the sentence at the end of the promotional anime, from now on there will be no Naozu, only the new Lich King!

"Arthas went from Paladin to Lich King, it's amazing!" Next, Shama read all the other three characters.

But......

"Why isn't there Deathwing? Will the Deathwing Weishenme, who broke free from the seal, appear? Obviously there is a promotional animation on it. "Shama is not stupid, and she quickly understood, and the promotional animation did not say that there must be books in it, and it is likely that the second and third parts will be there in the next part, simply put, it is used to make a name for yourself.

"Su is too bad, I actually came up with such a way, and the writing is very wonderful, but I feel that this scene is a little small, it is the story of several heroes, although such a work is wonderful, it is completely impossible to surpass the alien continent constructed by Mr. Kode with the "Outsider Series". Shama commented that she did not regard "The Frozen Throne" as an opponent of "The True Outsider" at all.

"Huh? There seems to be a mezzanine in the book. "Shama was so focused on reading it that she didn't notice that the book actually had two parts.

"The war chapter and the character chapter? Is it any wonder that it will be a little more expensive than the rest of the books, the character chapter is used to construct the characters, and the war chapter is used to construct shijie? What a cool way to write! ”

【Battle of Mount Hyjal】

The war chapter feels completely different from the previous character chapter.,The character race that appears and the prominence of the entire shijie view.,It's not at all comparable to the character chapter.。

"That's what makes Shijie." After reading this war chapter [Battle of Mount Hyjal], a small part of Shama finally paid attention to it and regarded it as the opponent of "The Real Outsider".

But Shama discovered something else...... She discovers that the words spoken by the elves in the novel are a kind of writing she doesn't recognize.

weishenme is not a word that is not recognized? Because this kind of writing is obviously not English, let alone French, German, etc., it is a kind of writing that she does not recognize.

"This is definitely not Chinese, I have seen Chinese, but what kind of text is this? Was this because the book was not translated when it was translated? The writing is somewhat similar to Arabic, but Shama searched the Internet and found that it was not Arabic, and most importantly, it didn't seem to belong to any of the languages of any of the countries on the shijie.

It doesn't belong to any one country, is it? A crazy thought came to Shama's head.

"It can't be true, can it? Yes, I think I'm thinking too much. Shama thought it was crazy.

But sometimes the craziest thoughts are often the truth......

Immediately, a note in the margin above the book confirmed her idea. 】

"Oh my God! That's not true, is it? Is this author trying to create a language? ”

Shama was dumbfounded......
