581 Beautiful Because of Fetters (2/4)
October 10th, this is a rare weekend. Mu Yucheng did not stay at home, but appeared in a big mall near his home. Of course, Mu Yucheng didn't like shopping. He was in a bookstore. Like some people, he was holding a new book that Yang Yi sold today, lined up to check out.
Yang Yi has a different identity now. He is not only a best-selling writer, but also a songwriter and a singer. Therefore, the owner of the bookstore is still very happy to arrange heavy publicity for Yang Yi's new book for his own interests!
The Rolla Bao placed at the door and the posters pasted on the floor-to-ceiling window are all about the new book in Mu Yucheng's hands.
""Worry-Thanks Grocery Store": This place not only sells groceries, but also provides trouble consultation. Whether you are struggling and hesitating, or you are desperate and in pain, welcome!"
"After "White Night Walk", Yang Yi has another new work that is not a children's literature. It is not online literature or a mystery novel, but it is all incorporated into the essence of these categories. The story is wonderful, exciting, and subverts people's imagination!"
"This grocery store can help you find what is lost in modern people..."
The meaningful advertising slogans made Mu Yucheng look at them and couldn't help but want to open it and read it carefully. However, he still needs to pay first before talking about it!
In fact, Mu Yucheng has also participated in the pre-sale online. Just like before, at noon, the Sahara Express delivered the new book to him. But Mu Yucheng couldn't wait this morning, so he simply came to the largest bookstore near him and bought one.
Although the bookstore is priced a little more, Mu Yucheng thinks it doesn't matter. He bought one more, which is also a small reward for Yang Yi, the cute author who is grateful to him and invited him to a meal.
While queuing, Mu Yucheng heard the few customers who were also fans of Yang Yi’s book were chatting.
"I heard that "Prison Break" will be made into a TV series?"
"I know, didn't you read the news early this morning? The Sahara Publishing House held a press conference. One talked about the news that our book was launched, and the other focused on introducing "Prison Break", saying that not only the copyright was sold, but also the project was launched and people were selected to be selected and filmed!"
"Hey, are you two saying true? Who will shoot it? "Prison Break" has a background in the United States, and with such a wonderful story, I don't want some small domestic film and television companies to ruin the classics!"
"Don't worry, I sold it to Woolf TV. I heard it wasn't just selling it, but it also had the ratings. The director is Palton Yi. Have you heard of it? He filmed "Crime Thought" in the United States."
"I have watched "Criminal Thought", a very exciting Mi drama! If its director came to film "Prison Break", I would be much more relieved..."
Hearing this, Mu Yucheng patted the other person on the shoulder with a funny look and said, "Brother, I don't think you have to worry at all. Yang Yi pays great attention to the changes in his works. For example, "Soldier Assault" and "Bright Sword", didn't he choose a good director for these two works? If Chen Fengchen cannot shoot well, there are probably few directors in China who can't shoot well!"
"That's right!" Several Yang Yi's book fans laughed.
"And, I tell you that before the copyright of "Prison Break" was sold, there was another story. I wonder if you know it?" Mu Yucheng deliberately kept it a secret.
"Old and mediocre, don't do this. Tell me what you know!" The book fans shouted impatiently.
"Okay, listen to me. It is said that before Woolf TV came, Global Pictures took a fancy to "Prison Break", but the conditions they gave were not good, and they hoped that Yang Yi would adapt the work into a story that happened in China. Yang Yi disagreed and kicked Global Pictures. Of course, now it was sold to Woolf TV, and Yang Yi could also offend Global Pictures." Mu Yucheng shrugged and said.
This is what he said on Yang Yi’s personal website. The people from the Sahara Publishing House did not clarify or admit it, which means that this matter is likely to be true!
"Really? Global Films! This is a giant. If you offend them, what should you do?" The book fans were worried.
"It's okay, Woolf TV's backstage is no worse than Global Pictures. It's under the time group, Yang Yi is not afraid of them!" Mu Yucheng comforted.
But, aren’t you really afraid? Mu Yucheng himself didn’t know that it might be fine abroad, but the Time Group’s cover has not been extended to China.
Don’t think of so many intrigues, after Mu Yucheng paid for the book, he sat in an open-air coffee shop in the middle of the mall, finding a comfortable and quiet location, and couldn’t wait to open the book and look.
Mu Yucheng read the first few pages for some reason.
It seemed like three thieves, one named Liu Xiang, the other named Wu Dun, and the other named Guan Xing. They had to hide from something bad, and then hid in a shabby grocery store.
Then the descriptions in the middle, such as the rusty washing machine in the grocery store, dusty slippers, and the sudden appearance of envelopes, made Mu Yucheng confused and also felt a little creepy.
Could this be a horror story?
If it is a horror story, this is not great! Mu Yucheng doesn't like horror stories, he is afraid of ghosts...
In October, Yangcheng is still midsummer, and the hot sun outside is exposed to the earth, which is hot. But the air conditioner is turned on inside the mall! Some sweat still seeps behind Mu Yucheng's short T-shirt, which shows how much he resists ghost stories.
However, out of trust in Yang Yi, Mu Yucheng still held back and watched.
But after watching this, Mu Yucheng couldn't extricate himself!
The book "The Grocery Store" is not thick, and it is small, compared with "White Night Walk", the number of words has been reduced by at least half!
There are only five chapters in the story. Of course, each chapter has several sections, but before I knew it, Mu Yucheng had already translated half of it...
The story is beyond Mu Yucheng's expectations - although he has given Yang Yi great expectations, he never expected that this book is so enigmatic than "White Night Walk"!
First of all, it does use the most common element in online novels, "time and space travel", as Yang Yi said. However, the increasingly sophisticated writing style in this book makes Mu Yucheng unable to see any shadow of online novels.
Secondly, a question-and-answer game played by the grocery store owner Grandpa Jiang and the children turned into a "work" that Grandpa Jiang insisted on pointing out the direction of their hearts for some people who lost their hearts. Now in this story, three thieves who make people doubt their qualities answered questions and answered questions for some people with vague entanglements in this grocery store that was trapped in a time-and-space bug.
These stories that trigger deep thoughts to people, these may be choices made by everyone inadvertently, just like stones thrown into the lake, ripples are rippling. These ripples slowly expand, and eventually form surprising entanglements. The past, present, and future gradually converge together.
Very wonderful...
Mu Yucheng's coffee was cold, and he didn't bother to take a sip, and he couldn't bear to let go of it.
During this period, the courier from Sahara Express called him, and Mu Yucheng was reluctant to go back, so he had to call the neighbors to help sign on, but he still wanted to continue watching.
But before I knew it, Mu Yucheng suddenly shed tears!
Yes, a big man was sitting in an open-air coffee shop in the middle of the mall, holding a book and crying like rain.
The emotions came so suddenly that Mu Yucheng forgot to wipe away tears in case others saw a joke.
Nothing is important. What matters is that in this second chapter, all the previous stories are about a man named Song Ke. He does not have a good musical talent, but he still persists in working hard for his musical dream...
Mu Yucheng saw the letter from the thief trio to Song Ke, saying, "Your persistent pursuit of music is definitely not a waste of effort... Someone will be saved because of your songs... The music you create will also be passed down..."
He thought Song Ke was about to succeed!
But who knew that Song Ke sacrificed his life to put out the children in the fire during an orphanage performance!
"Red light and darkness surrounded him at the same time.
It seemed that someone was calling him, but he was unable to answer...
Ah, that's it! Now is the last moment, can I just still believe it now?
If it is true as the letter says, Dad, I have left my footprints, right? Even though I lost a battle..."
Song Ke's inner monologue before his death made Mu Yucheng burst into tears.
He finally understood why the thief trio said that in the previous letter, "Please always believe in this and believe until the last moment of life..."
It turned out that the thief trio had already known that Song Ke would die, and the little girl he saved would also take his music to the music scene and let his music pass on!
...
In the afternoon, Mu Yucheng finally finished reading "The Grocery Store". The moment he closed the book, he couldn't help but smile and still had a lot of reluctance.
The story of the whole book seems dull, but the story of each chapter is ups and downs and exciting.
But isn’t the most wonderful thing still the intertwined connection between people in this letter delivery?
Mu Yucheng suddenly remembered a sentence he had seen before: "The water surface wrinkled by the wind, the faint fragrance from unknown wild flowers in the distance, the water plants dancing gently under the clear water, and the smile of strangers who nodded slightly when the boat passed by are all essential elements that make up this happy picture, and they are also bonds that cannot be easily abandoned, just like the life of each of us."
The origin of this beautiful text is no longer found, but the same is true of the emotion this book brings to him.
After Mu Yucheng took a sip of the coffee that seemed a little bitter, Yang Yi's new song rang in his ears. It was not his auditory hallucination, but the mall was indeed playing the launch of Fei Yi's Studio a few days ago, and then it was loved by many people.
"Because I just happened to meet you, I left my footprints to be beautiful. The wind blew the flowers and tears like rain, because I didn't want to separate..." Yang Yi's falsetto was like a female voice, plucking Mu Yucheng's heartstrings.
This song is very nice, just like his new book, it's great!
"what_ a_ beautiful_ day! (What a wonderful day!)" Although I was hungry for lunch, Mu Yucheng was in a good mood and still slapped a foreign article, holding a book and kicking a small dance move. He didn't care about the curious and interesting eyes of others, and walked out with a tap.
A science man can be very sexy too!
Chapter completed!
