Lin Zixuan's "The Man in the High Castle" is very different from the original book.

The original novel was loosely structured, and the connections between the characters were not strong, and sometimes it seemed a little inexplicable.

In order to make the plot of the novel more compact, he made changes in combination with the plot of the American drama "The Man in the High Castle", and the TV series needs to have an excellent plot if it wants to attract the audience.

The original author of the book is an American, and the portrayal of Americans in the book is more positive and positive.

The focus of the writing is on justice and injustice, cultural inferiority and identity, and the consequences of fascist dictatorship and racial discrimination on human society.

Lin Zixuan focuses on the numbness and inferiority of Americans under German and Japanese rule.

After more than twenty years of colonization, Americans became accustomed to being ruled by the Japanese and developed a tendency towards servitude.

The rebels were only a minority, and most Americans took pride in serving the Japanese and watched and mutilated their own compatriots on behalf of the Japanese.

This is Lin Zixuan's version of "The Man in the High Castle", revealing a deep sadness.

He borrowed Lu Xun's style and used the tone of "mourning his misfortune and being angry with him" to show the daily life of Americans.

Cole looked cold, he couldn't imagine what a cold world it was.

Americans want to learn Japanese culture, they have to treat Japanese people with servile attitudes, and the Japanese can shoot Americans at will and dump their bodies in mass graves.

He felt that the author of this novel was either psychopathic or had delusions of victimization.

Who would have thought of this kind of storyline, but from the perspective of science fiction, this kind of background setting is really unexpected. It's full of novelty.

The manuscript has more than 100,000 words, and I am afraid that I will not be able to finish reading it today. He was going to take it home and continue watching.

This is something that has not been done before, for new writers' book manuscripts. It would be nice if he could endure seeing a third.

After work, instead of going to a bar near Wall Street to inquire about the financial markets, Cole went straight home, ate dinner in a hurry, and continued to read a novel while lying in bed.

It was midnight.

After reading the novel, he also figured out some of the main points of the story, such as the film reel.

There are two worlds in this novel, in the real world the United States lost World War II, while in the film film the United States won in World War II.

What caused the two very different results?

Cole recalled the plot of the book.

It seems that because in 1933 the elected president of the United States, Roosevelt, was shot. Then the United States never recovered from the economic depression, pursued a conservative isolationist policy, and did not align itself with the European continent, which led to the fall of the European continent.

He didn't know the future President Roosevelt, he hadn't even heard of it.

This may just be a character made up by the author, including Churchill and Hitler, who has no impression.

At this time, Hitler had just been released from prison and was at a low point in his life.

Churchill was appointed Chancellor of the Exchequer in Britain, but this guy is okay with leading troops to fight, and he doesn't know anything about finance. It has become the laughing stock of the British financial community.

Cole is just an ordinary person in the United States and is not keen on politics.

Moreover, the exchange of information between the United States and continental Europe lagged behind, unlike later generations watching TV news. Or you can search the Internet to find out what is happening in each country.

So, he thought it was just a science fiction novel with ideas.

He decided to recommend the novel to the editor-in-chief tomorrow, although the writing of the novel is not very good. Or it's worse, but there is a chance of publication just because of this setting.

The writing can be modified. Innovation deserves encouragement.

He put down the manuscript and turned off the light. Lie in bed and get ready to rest.

But the plot of the novel kept spinning in his head, and the thought of the terrifying atmosphere of the future made him creepy.

Cole got up, went to the window, looked out the window at the lights of New York City, and recalled the picture of the city being ruled by the Germans in the book, with black smoke incinerators everywhere.

In order to make future generations healthier, Nazi Germany put to death all those who suffered from diseases.

They also carried out a policy of genocide against Jews and Slavs.

It was a desperate world!

Cole thought so.

The next day, Cole came to the publishing house and wrote a review for the novel "The Man in the High Castle."

It is full of praise, and he even thinks that this novel has become a classic of science fiction because it successfully depicts a possibility of a future society.

The editor-in-chief couldn't help but frown when he saw Cole's comment.

He knows Cole as a person, and Cole's reading interests have always been contrary to the market, which means that the manuscripts that Cole values are niche books and have a wide audience.

What's more, science fiction is a niche among the niches, and classics are so easy to write there.

The editor-in-chief has a general understanding of the contents of the book from Cole's introduction, and writes about the future world of Japan and Germany to divide the United States, which is not easy for American readers to accept.

Who wants to see their country occupied, and the reader has no masochistic tendencies.

It seems that Cole still values this kind of book with no market potential, and perhaps he is not suitable for the publishing industry.

The editor-in-chief casually threw the manuscript and comments in the trash, took out Cole's resignation letter the other day, and signed it.

Cole didn't expect that it was because of himself that "The Man in the High Castle" lost a chance to be published.

He didn't have any thoughts when he learned the news, he was used to this kind of thing in the publishing house, but he felt sorry for the author of the book, and hoped that someone in other publishing houses would be optimistic about the book.

Cole left the publishing house and devoted himself to the booming financial industry.

Over the next few years, he made his way up Wall Street, succeeding and failing, eventually earning millions of dollars and becoming a wealth myth.

In 1929, when he became a rich man, he suddenly remembered the science fiction novel he had read a few years earlier when he dreamed about it.

It is said that the U.S. economy will fall into the Great Depression this year.

Cole pulled his money out of the financial markets with a rather than a believable mentality, thus getting out of the stock market before the crash.

After this catastrophe and rebirth, he could no longer tell whether the account in that book was a coincidence or a prophecy.

At this time, he turned his attention to the governor of New York, Franklin Roosevelt, and if the book was true, then this Mr. Roosevelt would become the future president of the United States.

Do you want to gamble?

After years of ups and downs in the financial markets, Cole knows the importance of investing, and what better way to reap the rewards than investing in a future president, even if it is written in a book, it is worth the risk.

At this time, Franklin Roosevelt was seeking re-election as governor, and Cole fully supported Roosevelt with all his assets.

In the United States, when the economy was in the midst of the Great Depression, Cole became Roosevelt's re-election as governor of New York, and the two developed a deep personal friendship.

Three years later, Roosevelt was elected president of the United States, and Cole was called by the media the most trusted person of the American president. (To be continued.) )
