Chapter 441: Suitable for All Ages
“…… When the Chinese version was not released, I watched some intermittently. Now after buying it back at the bookstore, I finally finished reading it, and there is no doubt that this is a good work. ”
"I like Hoss, I like little Gerritt, although the ending is not bad, but it is still a little uncomfortable to think that Hoss is dead."
"This is not only the story of greatness born in the ordinary, but also the story of Hoss bursting with great brilliance in the ordinary, like the fire that lights up the night sky."
"In the ordinary chapter, the ordinary is Hoss, and in the great chapter, the great is still Hoss."
"Eh, don't spoil it! I can't see it, I can't see what you're talking about, I can't see ...... Can't see ......"
With the Chinese version of "Ordinary and Great" being read by readers for the first time,
Some comments about "Ordinary and Great" also began to appear on the domestic Internet.
"That dog up is okay this time, "Ordinary and Great" didn't disappoint me either."
"So there is a big guy who can see, who may I be? Does he have anything else? ”
"Woooooooooo......oo Why didn't you say that "Ordinary and Great" looks so uncomfortable...... Hoss, woo, my Hoss! ”
"Well, I'm almost done, but when I close the book, Hoss and Little Glitter still seem to be in their minds, and they seem to see a thin young man, trembling against fear, burying a wooden strip with the name of his father, Medioc, in the dirt in front of the grave.
It seems that a young man in coarse cloth clothes can still be seen, standing in the brightly lit church, facing the scene of the dazzling candles.
Ay...... This is probably the after-effect of a good work, and it feels like I either can't sleep tonight, or I'm going to dream of Hoss. ”
"I feel especially sorry for Laina, the woman whom the author did not spend much time describing.
She spent the first half of her life in ignorance, and was finally abandoned by her husband, or rather by the world in which she lived.
In the second half of his life, in order to wait for the answers to some questions, he tried all the ways to live hard.
But fortunately, Layina waited for an answer. ”
"It's a good thing upstairs, but the answer is not waiting for it, it's someone, and little Gerrit took the initiative to find it."
"Yes, so little Gerrit is the protagonist of a great chapter, and in the ordinariness of Hoss, such greatness is born. It was he who transcended the ordinary and made the decision to let little Gerrit go to school, and it was he who finally chose to die like that, in exchange for little Gerrit's future.
Perhaps Hoss's life was ordinary, but he also had some great deeds.
In other words, little Gerrit is the ideal product of Hoss's ordinary people. And this ideal may have been born from the bard he had seen. Or it could have been born earlier, born from the painful fear and indelible doubts in his mind when his father died.
He couldn't find these problems anymore, so he pinned his hopes on little Gerrit.
It would be gratifying if, in the end, Hoss could see and hear the answer that little Gerrit brought back at the end! ”
"No spoilers! Fuck it! Can you please stop talking! ”
……
"Sounds pretty good......
"Yes, Uncle Yu, I looked at it a few times on the way back, and I felt a little unable to stop, and I wanted to continue reading."
Yucheng. house.
The old man listened to the evaluation of the book "Ordinary and Great" on the Internet that the nurse read to him, and said with a smile on his face.
The nurse responded, and then picked up "The Ordinary and the Great" that he had just bought from the bookstore.
"Tell me about it, then?"
"Okay."
Resist the urge to hold the book and continue reading without hanging it out.
The caregiver reopened the title page of the book,
Start reading the book to the elderly, and at the same time read it yourself.
"Then I'll start reading, Uncle Yu?"
"Hmm."
"First of all, the introduction of the book: white demons fall from the sky, and they use their feathered wings to stir up a violent wind......"
The nurse endured the excitement, read, and then opened the text,
Gradually, I was attracted to the story of the text again, immersed in it, and the excitement was replaced by the emotions that fluctuated with the change of the plot.
The old man also listened quietly with his ears sideways, gradually immersed in the story.
……
"Daddy...... What kind of book did you buy? Is it a story? ”
Capital New Area.
When the man came home, he also had a book in his hand.
His daughter was eating dinner in the evening, and from time to time she was curious about the book.
The interesting cover of that book attracted her.
The entire cover is split in half.
On one side is a gray style, a group of people who can only see a vague figure, surrounding a figure who has fallen to the ground.
The figure who fell to the ground seemed to be dying, and his face was full of pain,
Most of the people around them cowered and shrunk outwards or prayed.
In the whole picture, only the blood flowing under the figure lying on the ground is a bright color.
And on the other side of the screen,
But it's a very different style, although it's still a dark night sky,
But there was a raging fire burning under the night sky, and the light of the fire lit up the entire sky, the fields that were about to be harvested in the distance, and the houses and buildings of other families in the village.
Just look at this cover,
It's a little scary.
So the little girl kept glancing curiously, but at the same time, she was a little scared.
"It's a book with some stories."
Dinner was finished.
The family sat down on the couch.
The little girl looked at the book on the sofa and wanted to reach for it, but she was a little scared.
Then she looked up again at her father, and there was some sparkle in her eyes.
"Dad, can you tell me this story?"
"Hmmm......"
Looking at her daughter's curious and expectant, but also a little scared,
The man hesitated.
The book he bought back was naturally "Ordinary and Great".
Looking at the reviews of this book on the Internet, they are all good, and this writer I has reached the point where he is on par with the dog author.
The man wanted to buy it back and see what the book was like.
Now my daughter is reading this book and is also interested.
However, "The Ordinary and the Great" seems to be a serious work on the theme of magical realism.
The writing is also more depressing, is it suitable for your daughter?
The man glanced at his daughter, and subconsciously turned his head to look at his wife,
I saw my wife roll her eyes at her,
"Ahem...... This story sounds uncomfortable, so why don't we talk about kites? ”
"It's okay, Dad, I want to listen."
The little girl's eyes were even more frightened, and they all came to her father, eager to shrink into a ball.
But I still insisted on listening.
The wife of the man next to her rolled her eyes at the father and daughter again and did not speak.
"Alright then......"
The man hesitated and thought about it,
"Night Tour to the Capital City", "Shadow Empire" and other books have been told to their daughters,
One more copy of "Ordinary and Great" will do.
My daughter also has a rich childhood.
As for how much you can understand, that's the girl's own business.
"Hmmm! Mom, you sit here, I'll sit in the middle. ”
Probably the cover of the book gave the little girl the impression that it was 'not very good',
She nodded emphatically, and pulled her mother over a little,
He shrunk between his parents, and then looked at his father with some nervousness.
“…… It's okay, this book isn't scary. ”
"Really? Mom, have you seen it too? ”
The wife glanced at the man again and comforted her daughter.
But the girl's words stopped her.
She really hasn't seen it, that is, she has seen some comments on the Internet.
"Daddy...... Tell me, I'm ready. ”
Her mother didn't reply, and the little girl probably understood something.
Tightening herself a little more before she looked up, urging her father to tell a story.
"Okay......"
Looking at his daughter's appearance, the man couldn't help but smile,
However, looking at the roll of his wife's eyes thrown at him, he coughed dryly and restrained his smile.
“…… So let's get started. ”
"The story, it takes place in another world...... The protagonist of the story is called Hoss, and because he is still young, the people in the village call him Little Hoth......"
The man sorted out his sentences and spoke to his daughter.
……
"Ten silver coins! What about robbery! ”
"Hey...... Don't listen to him, Hoss! ”
Magic City. Downstairs in the complex.
Under the gazebo, Ji Zhuo leaned on this side to enjoy the shade.
Chubby Dun was watching "Ordinary and Great" over there.
The reading seems to be fascinating, and the substitution is very thorough,
From time to time, I could hear the little chubby dun muttering quietly, a little indignant.
Behind the little chubby dun, there were still two children, with their waists low and supporting their legs, watching intently.
Ji Zhuo held his mobile phone,
Looking at some comments in the comment area of "Kite",
From time to time, I heard the little chubby dun being indignant there, and he also turned his head to glance at it.
Turn back again,
Ji Zhuo looked at the comment area of "Kite" displayed on his mobile phone,
On the non-Mo international version of the website, there are really comments in various languages at the bottom of the comment area.
Ji Zhuo will be able to see what he can understand.
"The dog author has been updated so fast recently, so you must keep it!"
"Foreign readers may not know that in the past, dog authors were people who updated 10,000 or 20,000 words a day, and now, hey, sigh."
"I feel that the dog author should have been stimulated by I and ABC, otherwise how could it be updated so quickly."
"It's been so long, I feel like "Kite" is about to finish, I don't know if "Kite" can have the publication of "Shadow Empire" after the publication of this book."
"It feels like it's going to be a little worse, after all, many readers have already subscribed and read it online, plus the online results, I believe it must be the dog author who won."
"Win, what to win? Just kidding, I think "Kite" is good, but it's still a little short of "Shadow Empire" - Sen Rain! ”
"Huh? How did you get in with an ABC reader, big brother, this is the comment area of the dog author, and in addition, look at your nickname, the ingredients are somewhat complicated. ”
"That is, centrists? - Kaki Man 0203"
Looking at the comments of this group of sand sculpture netizens,
Ji Zhuo is in a good mood.
In addition, "Kite" is indeed close to completion.
Originally, the expected length of "Kite" was about two or three hundred thousand words.
In order to let "Kite" catch up with the pursuit and encirclement of "Ordinary and Great", he also accelerated the update.
Of course...... There's no need for that now, but he hasn't slowed down the update again.
Now, "Kite" has long been on the shelves,
With the addition of non-Mexican international websites, non-Mexican domestic websites, and other online channels, the total average subscription of "Kite" has exceeded 4 million, and it is still growing.
Probably some readers of dog authors started to read the whole book after the publication of "Kite", but when they heard that there were people discussing it on the Internet, they were itchy and afraid of being spoiled, so they didn't hold back and started reading it directly.
Of course, just looking at the online subscription results, the results of "Kite" are still somewhat worse than those of "Shadow Empire".
At present, the sales of "Shadow Empire" are already sprinting towards 10 million copies.
Many people in the media and publishing industry believe that "Shadow Empire" may be able to sell more than 20 million copies a year.
However, after all, "Kite" has not been published in its entirety, and the power of the huge number of physical book readers accumulated under the name of the dog author has not yet fully exploded.
Judging from the popularity on the Internet,
is basically a three-legged triumph of "Kite", "Shadow Empire" and "Ordinary and Great".
"Big brother...... Do you think Hoth will be able to live a better life in the future? ”
At this time,
The little chubby dun who was reading "Ordinary and Great" next to him probably read some content,
Turning his head, he asked Ji Zhuo.
Ji Zhuo looked away from the screen of his mobile phone,
glanced at the book opened in the hand of the little fat dun, probably still in the first half of the ordinary chapter,
"Are you trying to get me to give you spoilers?"
"Big brother, have you finished reading it?"
Listening to Ji Zhuo's words, Xiao Chubby's eyes lit up a little.
"Do you want me to give you spoilers?"
“…… That's still it. ”
Little Fat Dun struggled for a while, but still shook his head.
"Let's just talk about it."
"How do you feel?"
"I don't think Hoss will be too good in the future, eh, what a big person, he has to farm to survive, and he has to pay off the debt of the seven silver coins, to be honest, I feel that with the appearance of Raleigh in the book, it doesn't look like he can make Hoss pay off the money."
Little Chubby Dun sighed and said,
But it's really interesting to listen to the young chubby dun saying that there are more than one person in others.
"Then you can read on."
Ji Zhuo smiled and answered again, then turned his gaze back,
Chubby turned his head and continued to look,
Immerse yourself in it quickly.
The two children who watched with him behind him were finally called away by their own adults.
When I left, I was still a little reluctant, and asked Little Fat Dun for the title of the book.
“…… Dad, I want to buy a book to read. ”
"Yo, my son still wants to read, it's amazing, what do you want to read, Dad will buy it for you."
"I want to see 'Ordinary and Great'"
"The vision is not bad, okay, there is no need to buy it anymore, your father and I have bought it, wait for the express delivery to arrive tomorrow."
Little Fat Dun turned his eyes from the page and looked at the children and adults who were walking away,
He sighed like an adult.
"Eh, I found that I's work is the same as ABC and Dog's work."
Little Fat Dun sighed.
Here, Ji Zhuo, who was looking at his mobile phone, paused, raised his head, and chuckled in his heart.
"What's the same?"
"They write books for all ages...... Phew, it's suitable for all ages. ”
“……”
"Big brother, what's wrong?"
Little Fat Dun looked at Ji Zhuo and looked at him silently, a little puzzled.
"It's fine."
"Oh."
Scratching his shoulders in some confusion, the little chubby dun lowered his head again,
Flipping through "The Ordinary and the Great", I soon became immersed in the story again.
It's just the same as before, muttering two sentences from time to time,
Feeling sorry for what happened to Hoss, feeling angry.
"This priest is not a good man either. Hoss was dressed in coarse rags, and he wore silk robes. ”
“…… This Moss is not a good person, he doesn't farm himself, he has so much food, and he dresses well......"
"Hmm...... This Moore died well...... But it looks a bit like Miria killed her...... But the book doesn't say it. That's what he drowned...... Night blindness, it makes sense. ”
"Hey......"
Ji Zhuo was here, listening to the little chubby dun muttering there from time to time,
It can be regarded as the most direct first-hand reader evaluation.
didn't look at the little chubby mound again,
Ji Zhuo leaned on the pillar of the gazebo and slumped on the bench,
Holding his phone, he scrolled through the discussions of the sand sculpture readers on the Internet and the rainbow farts of ABC, the dog author, or I.
