"Alive".

Although the content has not yet been released, judging from the cover style and length, it is definitely not the previous fantasy department, or this "survival" type.

After all, that type of depiction in just 100,000 words will definitely not be depicted.

After the explosion of "Harry Potter" in Kyushu, the old thief and even the Xiazhou literary world have received more attention than before!

Ever since the old thief stepped into the physical book world, the controversy has not stopped.

There are many arrogant physical book authors, and there are even more authors who can't look down on "Harry Potter", and they feel that Harry Potter has a logical flaw, and the text is slightly white, so I can't read it at all.

There is nothing in this world that is perfect for everyone to love, except RMB.

But what really disgusts many people is when they think that this work is "not worthy of virtue".

Obviously, a movie with a box office quality of one billion yuan has been praised to 10 billion.

Obviously, an ordinary actor is praised as the actor, and naturally many people will be disgusted.

Especially "Demon Slayer" and "Harry Potter", the two works of the old thief.

It's really excellent, but the fire is completely unreasonable, and a terrifying storm has blown across Kyushu!

Some people are envious and some are sour, and some people really feel that it is not good.

This includes several well-known physical book writers, who don't know why, said things like "Harry Potter" with a low level and no literary value!

Lin Qiu doesn't know much about this aspect, but the old thief's thousands of book fans and anime fans have "fought" with those well-known authors, which naturally adds fuel to the fire and ushers in a bigger struggle!

Lin Qiu's thoughts were very simple from beginning to end, he just wanted to bring more classics from his previous life to this world, as for slapping his face or not, he really didn't have much interest.

In August, Lin Qiu was still filming a big scene about "The Romance of the Yang Family" on the hot set, and the date of "Alive" came as scheduled!

……

On the day of the sale, the entire bookstore in Xiazhou once again ushered in the long-lost madness!

Because it was still during the summer vacation, a large number of student parties came early to wait.

Since the "Harry Potter" series, the popularity of the old thief among the student community in Xia Zhou has been rising.

This kind of "weird" picture of thousands of young people getting together to buy "Alive", if anyone who knew about the book "Alive" in their previous life knew about it, the corners of their mouths would definitely twitch!

In fact, even in the previous life, there must have been more people who knew the book "Alive" than those who had read the book "Alive", and it was a well-known masterpiece.

"Boss!"

"Boss, has the old thief's new book arrived?"

"The old thief's book has arrived! Feel relieved! Enough! ”

……

"Here's a copy of 'Alive'!"

"Queue up! You can buy it all! ”

……

All over Xiazhou, there have been similar crazy robberies!

Many of these Xiazhou bosses are book lovers, and in this year's time, the name of the old thief is almost "known to everyone, no one knows it", and even the original ID cement seal of the old thief has gradually been forgotten by these bosses and readers.

These bosses know a truth, that is, the old thief's book, no matter how well it is written, it will not be sold!

And after "Harry Potter", many bosses are fans of the old thief.

This includes bookstore owner Andy Cheung!

"Where's your boss?"

A customer came to the bookstore and didn't see Boss Zhang, so he asked.

The clerk smiled and pointed towards the second floor:

"The boss is on top."

"I'm going to read a book."

……

The second floor balcony of the bookstore is sunny.

Zhang Dehua was holding a brand-new book with great interest and made tea.

As a bookstore owner, Zhang Dehua, who loves literature, should belong to readers who do not exclude any type, whether it is online literature or physical books.

After watching it for so many years, the freshness brought by the old thief to Andy Cheung is the strongest.

I always feel like an old thief, it's just different from others, it's not a problem with the routine and plot, if you want to say, it's the taste.

The portrayal of the atmosphere is too strong, works like "Sword and Fairy" and "Harry Potter" actually have big problems in logic, but the old thief is able to completely substitute the reader into it!

Let the reader see the world described by the old thief!

"Oh?"

"It's a new style?"

"No ......"

"It's traditional literature!"

Based on Zhang Dehua's experience, just when he opened "Alive" and saw the first line of text, his eyes widened!

He had thought of many types of old thieves that he would challenge, but he had never thought of this type!

It turned out to be a literary work with a realistic theme!

Just a few words in the first line completely substituted Andy Cheung into the atmosphere of the story of "Alive", as if returning to the time many years ago!

[When I was ten years younger than I am now, I got an idle occupation and went to the countryside to collect folk songs. 】

[All the summer of that year, I was like a sparrow flying around, wandering in the fields of cottages and sunshine. 】

……

First person?!

This kind of first-person writing is very common in physical books and early online texts, in fact, early online texts are not much different from physical books, which are published on the Internet.

In the previous life, works such as "Ghost Blowing the Lantern", you can say that it is the Internet, but the content is not much different from the content of the physical book, and it is not until the development of the online text that the two are clearly distinguished.

The reason why the early online texts, such as "Zhu Xian", such as "Ghost Blowing the Lamp", "Zichuan", "Blasphemy" and "The Legend of the Little Soldier", are not as cool as the works of the next ten years is because with the development of the times, online literature has formed a "highly entertaining" label.

This is the characteristic of online texts, focusing on the content and form that readers like, paying attention to whether it can bring pleasure to online readers, paying attention to the expression of emotions, and ignoring the existence of cultural connotations.

The popular characteristics of online literature in terms of ideological content cater to the needs of most readers for "entertainment" in this era.

In terms of ideological content, traditional literature is mainly based on the expression of major realistic themes, and the content is relatively serious.

Regardless of whether it is "elegant" or "classic", in the previous life, such works became more and more boring in people's lifestyles, but it is difficult to say whether it is the progress of the times or the regression.

At least some of the early classic literary works in China may not be available again for many years after 2020.

But the creative environment of this world and the public's acceptance of the works are fully able to accept these serious literary works, so Lin Qiu is determined to release them.

It's just that books like "Alive" and "Xu Sanguan Selling Blood" are destined not to have a terrifying audience like "Harry Potter", and it is even more impossible to achieve hundreds of millions of sales.

As the story of "Alive" unfolded, Andy Cheung seriously devoted himself to it.

"It's really atmospheric."

Zhang Dehua secretly exclaimed.

In fact, the old thief's rhetoric is not gorgeous, but in the narrative, the rural atmosphere of many years ago comes to his face.

In particular, objects and scenes similar to [Wide-brimmed Straw Hats], "Field Paths", "Dusty", and "Fans" really have a sense of picture.

In this era, fans are becoming scarcer.

In the first chapter of the story, the narrator "I" was given an idle career as a young man - collecting folk songs in the countryside.

And when summer just came, I met the old man named Fugui and listened to Fugui tell about his bumpy life experience.

's perspective on writing instantly shifted to Fugui's perspective.

It is said that Fugui was originally a young master of a landlord's family, and before his family was defeated, he became addicted to gambling.

And not only that, when I was young, I ate, drank, prostituted, gambled, and did all kinds of prodigal things.

……

"It turned out to be that era."

"The old thief actually wrote the story of this era!"

"This author is too mysterious."

Zhang Dehua shook his head, but he felt surprised.

There have been a lot of speculations on the Internet about the true identity and real age of the old thief, because of works like "Fairy Sword", "Unheard of Flower Name" and "April", it is said that the old thief's age is actually very young.

It is also said that the old thief has deep writing skills, and he guesses that he is relatively old.

But as soon as this "Alive" comes out, it should be a real hammer!

The old thief is at least forty years old.

If you weren't forty years old, you wouldn't have been able to write anything like that.

How do you know what it was like if you didn't experience that era?

……

Judging from the character creation in it, Fugui is really not a good person.

eating, drinking, prostituting and gambling, and his wife Jiazhen is at home, so naturally he doesn't know about Fugui's messy things.

And what's even more frowning is that Jiazhen is still a virtuous woman, according to the description of the text, it is [in exchange for barking a dog in the previous life], Fugui is messing around outside, Jiazhen has always been obedient, even if she knows, she never says anything.

Just seeing these lines of text, Andy Cheung sighed slightly.

The women of that era were sometimes even more pathetic than the words described.
