Chapter 237: The Performer
Subtitle of this chapter: What is this book?
"Miss Rochelle, why are you here?"
Miss Lillian-Gish walked out of the bookstore and found a no-man's corner, and smoked two cigarettes in a row, which was to calm her mind.
And when she walked back to Barnes & Noble's bookstore, she saw a shadow wandering on the side of the road, pushing open the door several times but not entering, and this woman was Miss Ainyuka.
"It's you, Miss Gish!" Xiaolongnu was taken aback by the greeting of the big star, and said in the future, "I, I, just passing by, thinking, thinking, wanting to buy a book." ”
Miss Ji Xu rolled her eyes and asked with a smile, "Then why are you still outside?" ”
"I, I...... I remembered something again. With that, Miss Ainuka bowed her head and turned to leave.
The big star didn't stop her, but said leisurely: "Miss Rochelle, do you know that Neo's Chinese fiancée is coming?" ”
"Neo's Chinese fiancée?!" These words hit the little dragon girl's head like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, and her footsteps couldn't help but stop, just standing on the side of the road in a daze.
Miss Guish walked up to her, took her around her fragrant shoulder, and whispered in her ear: "Miss Rochelle, love and happiness must be earned by yourself!" ”
"Fight for it yourself?" Hearing this, Miss Ainuka regained a trace of anger.
"yes, fight for yourself." The big star smiled, pointed to the coffee shop at the intersection and said, "Why don't you go there and let's talk." ”
Of course, Master Yuan in the bookstore didn't know that such an incident had happened outside the bookstore, and he didn't know that there would be a big head for him in the future. After all, he drove the Crystal Palace, not someone else's toilet...... Well, RBQ showroom.
He answered more than a dozen questions about "Chocolate Love" and "The Case of Di Gong", during which he was witty but personable. Even Bai Pi, who originally discriminated a little against Chinese, had to admit that this Chinese was indeed a writer with a little talent.
"Ladies and gentlemen. You're all right, right? Yuan Yanqian opened her purse, took out a stack of manuscripts and said, "I have a new book that is about to be released, and I just take this opportunity to introduce it to you." I hope you all like it and get your valuable feedback"
He turned to Miss Cather and Mr. Dresser and smiled and said, "Of course, I would like you two to give me advice. ”
In the expectant or not-so-expectant eyes of everyone, our Master Yuan cleared his throat and began to read aloud:
"Now that the wildlings are dead," Gary urged as the surrounding woods faded, "let's go back." ”
"Did the dead scare you?" Sir Weimar-Royce asked with a light smile......
Writing and reading aloud are, of course, two different things. The former is the interpretation of words, and the latter is the performance of language.
Well, it's better not to see each other than to see each other. In fact, some authors still don't meet their readers, let alone read their works in front of readers.
For example, Luo Yin (833-909 AD) during the late Tang Dynasty was called the first poet of the Five Dynasties, and he wrote the famous sentence "Heaven and earth are all working together, and heroes are not free". It is said that there was a female fan who was fascinated by him at that time, but after meeting him, the fan girl went home and burned Lao Luo's poetry collection.
Just like Zhou Xingxing's "God of Food" said, if the chef is too ugly, he will have plastic surgery.
Of course, Yuan Yanqian didn't need to go to plastic surgery, and what was even better was that "the mask worn by Ciric" brought him a +10 performance bonus, plus his original 3 points, and now he has a 13-point performance bonus.
A hundred years later, the average performance level of the Ceris little fresh meat and plastic face is 1 point, with a 2-point performance bonus, that is, the little fresh meat and plastic face who work hard, with a 3-point performance bonus, that is, the little fresh meat and plastic face that will not ruin the show in the end, and with a 4-point performance bonus, then ...... It's out of the category of small fresh meat and plastic faces.
The performance bonus of 13 points means that our Master Yuan has become a performing artist!
If before that, he could trample a certain deer, a certain Wu, and a certain Li under his feet. So after getting this mask, he can play with Secretary Dakang, Secretary Yuliang, and Director Wei, and there will definitely be no situation where Director Liangping is seriously suppressed.
What a great pleasure for a performing artist to read aloud a wonderful book for the average reader.
Yuan Da performance artist fully demonstrated his performance ability, and with only a few words at the beginning, he brought everyone present into the reckless and harsh, only black and white ice and snow.
In his mouth, each character who appears has an accent and voice that matches his identity and origin. If someone closes their eyes and listens, they will really think that there are several different people on stage playing these roles. So someone really closed their eyes.
And when he narrates, he uses a deep and somewhat cold British accent, and his tone does not fluctuate much. But he only used accent and rhythm to make everyone present feel the deep meaning and coldness in each word.
“…… Suddenly there was a shout from a young nobleman below.
"Who's there?" Will heard the uneasiness in his intimidation, and stopped crawling, listening intently, and observing carefully.
The forest gave him the answer: the rustling of fallen leaves, the murmuring of cold streams, and the mournful cry of snow owls in the distance.
The strange ghost appeared silently......"
With the appearance of the strange ghost, the plot took a sharp turn, which also made everyone present gasp and "listen" even more.
“…… Weimar? Sir Royce stood before him.
His robe was shattered, his face was completely ruined, and the splinters of the broken sword reflected the blankness of the pupil of his left eye.
His right eye was open, and his pupils were burning with blue fire, looking at the living.
The broken sword fell from Will's feeble hand, and he closed his eyes in silent prayer. Graceful, slender hands brushed his cheeks and grabbed his throat. The hands, though encased in the finest moleskin gloves and covered in sticky blood clots, were cold. ”
After reading the prologue, Yuan Da raised his head and found that the audience was already silent, and everyone was brought into the world of the book by his wonderful recitation, as if they had experienced the story as if they were there. Some of the timid female readers turned pale and trembled a little.
A hundred years later, readers and viewers have watched more horror movies, and naturally they will not be frightened by such a beginning. To them, the so-called alien is nothing more than a variant of a zombie.
But a hundred years ago, where did readers read films like "Dawn of the Living Dead" and "The Walking Dead", and they were really shocked by the passages in the books that can transform dead people into "strange ghosts".
After a while, when everyone broke free from the plot, they inevitably whispered.
Ms. Cather and Mr. Dresser glanced at each other, and the latter couldn't help but raise his voice and ask, "Mr. Yuan, the name of this one is ......"
"A Song of Ice and Fire."
