Entertainment: My knife has made the whole world sad

Lao Zei is an unusual author.

Not only in terms of his writing level, but also in terms of his writing style.

The works of different writers have different artistic characteristics and creative personalities, and therefore different "styles".

Regardless of whether an author's writing style is delicate, implicit or concise, the writing style is basically relatively unified.

But Lao Zei is an outlier...

Since the first book, the style of each book has changed a lot.

Now it's even better. Even in a collection of short stories, it seems that "many different souls" have appeared. The influence of the novel in just half a month must be unprecedented in Xiazhou.

During this period when the summer vacation has not officially arrived, it has occupied almost every corner of the Xiazhou network and has been constantly discussed!

...

Is the first book so awesome?

What about the second and third books?

This is what almost all readers think!

They don't know yet that the first book is actually Xiazhou literature and the second book is Jiuzhou literature, but the degree of classicism is no less.

In the previous life, the three great short story masters, Chekhov, Maupassant, and O. Henry, were all well-known figures, leaving behind many classic works.

Coupled with some textbook-level works that were almost household names in the previous life, this novel is destined to be no less than the first one!

These include Maupassant's "My Uncle Jules", Gorky's classic "The Seagull", the "Last Lesson" by the French writer Alphonse Daudet in the previous life, Chekhov's "Chameleon" and so on!

Of course, generally speaking, there is no first in literature. Comparing literary works, unless there is a difference of two levels, it is difficult to tell the winner.

Lin Qiu has never thought that Mr. Lu Xun is inferior to these masters. Even in terms of writing style, as a Chinese child, he appreciates Mr. Lu Xun's artistic words more. But it is undeniable that if we talk about influence in the world, the three great short story masters and many world masters have greater influence.

It has to be said that in the field of short stories, there are still aesthetic differences between states.

After all, short stories often reflect social reality or social background, which is different from long novels with clear story lines. After all, it is still difficult for people in different states to truly understand each other's history.

But no matter which state, people are still able to identify good works and good novels!

Although I don't know why this short story collection Xiazhou has such a terrifying influence, I have to admit that this is a classic!

But these Kyushu readers and Kyushu writers who don't understand Xiazhou's crazy current situation would never have thought that in just half a month, they would become the same, or even...

More crazy! !

...

The second part of Lao Zei's short story collection is definitely the most watched work of Lao Zei in recent times, no one else!

After all, everyone knows the story of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" in advance, and the "Lord of the Rings" series does not have such a strong influence and appeal, so that the media in Kyushu are reporting.

Half a month later, the second part of Lao Zei's short story collection was officially released simultaneously around the world!

Once it was released, it attracted the attention of the world!

"Damn? This is Jiuzhou literature!"

"I see!"

"The first one is Xiazhou, the second one is Jiuzhou!"

"According to common sense, a Xiazhou author like Lao Zei shouldn't be awesome when writing Jiuzhou short stories, but he is Lao Zei. Which of his previous Sherlock Holmes and Harry Potter is not awesome?"

"Let's read it!!"

Due to the unprecedented influence of the first one, the second one was so popular when it was released that everyone was paying attention to it. Judging from the pre-sales in various channels, the sales volume is no worse than those of the previous novels with stronger entertainment nature!

You know, this is traditional literature, short stories!

The fact that it can have such sales volume is enough to prove everything, and the reading level of readers in Xiazhou has been greatly improved.

For the first collection of short stories, Lin Qiu used Mr. Lu Xun's classic words as the cover language, and for the second one, he used a classic sentence from "The Seagull":

"Let the storm come more violently!"

...

"Huh!"

Zhu Xiahua has never been so looking forward to a work.

As soon as the second collection of short stories was released, Zhu Xiahua got this work that was snapped up by the whole nation!

Logically speaking, for a writer like Zhu Xiahua, Lao Zei could have written a message with the word "To" and sent Zhu Xiahua a copy for friendly communication, but Lao Zei never revealed his handwriting.

There are lines and texts on the original comic manuscript, but the original manuscripts have been collected by the company. Those Changan Animation staff are not professionals who study with magnifying glasses, otherwise they should be able to find clues if they are compared under the attention of the whole network.

Opening the first page of the second volume, Zhu Xiahua glanced at the catalog and hurriedly began to read the first short story.

The cover text comes from Mr. Gorky's classic work "The Seagull".

[On the vast sea, the wind rolls up the dark clouds. ]

[Between the dark clouds and the sea, the seagull is like a black lightning, flying proudly. ]

...

"Prose poem!"

"This is..."

"Oklahoma background!"

Zhu Xiahua murmured.

Under the Xiazhou characters, there are also special Ozhou characters, almost marking the social background from Ozhou.

The work "The Seagull" is of course not just a description of the magnificent scene of the seagull facing the storm and the turbulent sea. If you can only see this part, it is somewhat superficial, and such a work cannot become a classic handed down from generation to generation.

The reason why this short work "The Seagull" can become a classic is because it combines the descriptive characteristics of prose and the expressive characteristics of poetry. It depicts the heroic fighting posture of the brave spirit-the seagull.

"What does this seagull refer to?"

"The revolutionary period of Ozhou?"

If there was no first part, Zhu Xiahua might not be able to react to what this work wants to express at the first time.

Precisely because of the first work, in the second part, Zhu Xiahua determined that the article would have metaphors. Since he thought about it in this direction, it must be about the revolution in Ozhou in the early twentieth century. This article is reflecting the rapidly developing revolutionary situation at that time and praising the immortal image and strong and fearless fighting spirit of the pioneers of the Russian proletarian revolution!

As Zhu Xiahua expected, in the second half of "The Seagull", as the thunder roared louder and louder, "The Seagull" was not afraid at all and faced it bravely!

[This is a brave seagull, flying proudly on the roaring sea and in the middle of lightning. ]

[This is the victory prophet shouting——]

[Let the storm come more violently! ]

...

Symbolism!

By the last paragraph, almost all readers realized that this was a symbolism, calling on the people of Ohio at that time to bravely welcome the coming of the storm.

In just this moment, Zhu Xiahua saw the soul behind this novel again!

This is an Ohio writer who lived between the 19th and 20th centuries, a creator of socialist and realistic literature, and a soul who participated in politics and had a strong appeal.

The reason why classic works are classics is because of their great vitality!

Gorky's famous autobiographical trilogy has always been in Lin Qiu's publishing plan. "Childhood", "In the World" and "My University" are almost all classics, vividly reproducing the living conditions of the lower classes in Ohio before the 1870s and 1880s.

He wrote about his profound understanding of suffering and his unique insights into social life.

There is an endless desire and strength between the lines.

The vitality of this kind of text cannot be extinguished.

Just this first article, "The Seagull", which is only 600 to 700 words, is enough to shock people.

The subsequent works made Zhu Xiahua dumbfounded, and he once doubted whether Lao Zei had split personality...

Among these works, there are too many works of different styles, and even the souls behind each article and the social background of each article are somewhat different.

"Kyushu literature, thousands of styles."

"Is there anything he can't write?"

Zhu Xiahua is a little skeptical about life. It's really that this person is too good to be true.

Previously, works from Yingzhou and Mizhou appeared in Lao Zei's novels, and now the scope has been expanded again, as if to prove that there is no novel in the world that he cannot write.

Zhu Xiahua does not have such a deep attainment in Jiuzhou literature, and he cannot write high-quality works even if he writes them himself, but Zhu Xiahua knows how high the artistic value of these works is.

So after reading this book with great shock, Zhu Xiahua forced his beating heart to suppress his beating heart and called a friend who is a writer in Jiuzhou.

But the first call was made to Hulk, a writer from Xizhou, but he didn't even get through. It was obvious that Hulk hung up the phone directly!

…

Xizhou.

Hulk's home.

When the phone rang, Hulk didn't even look at who was calling, and turned off the phone and threw it on the sofa next to him!

During the whole process, his eyes were always staring at the collection of short stories by Lao Zei in his hand, and he was amazed while reading.

…

The second person Zhu Xiahua called was Hansen, a writer friend from Mizhou.

Who knew that just as Zhu Xiahua answered Hansen's call, there was an extremely crazy cry from the other end of the phone:

"WTF!!"

"What kind of work is this! Is there any better work in the world than this!"

"Zhu! Have you read it!"

"Zhu! Are you reading this novel!"

Although Zhu Xiahua strongly recommended Lao Zei's short story collection series to all his friends in Jiuzhou, with Lao Zei's current level and influence, why did Zhu Xiahua recommend it!

As soon as the work is published, writers all over the world will pay attention to it, especially when the first part shows a very high level.

Before Zhu Xiahua could speak, Hansen's voice came from the other end of the phone:

"Lao Zei must be the most powerful author on this planet! No one else!"

"This work is so great! So great!"

Even if Zhu Xiahua was holding the phone, he could clearly feel Hansen's excitement.

In just a few minutes of the phone call, Hansen said "unbelievable" at least ten times and "so great" eight times!

Unlike the excitement and agitation of the authors in these states, countless writers in Ohio read the book and their eyes became wet without them realizing it.

…

Vladimir is one of them.

Vladimir is a well-known writer in Russia who is not the first, but at least one of the top three influential writers in contemporary Russia. In the literary world, Russia's works have always been very important, which is related to history.

In the entire second collection of short stories of Kyushu literature, the works collected by Lin Qiu are the ones with the Russian social background. The works of classic literary masters such as Gorky and Chekov have brought these Russians back to the past era.

As he read, Vladimir began to wipe his tears.

In the past two hundred years, Russia can be said to have undergone drastic changes. Vladimir has not experienced the previous history, even though he has gray hair and is in his twilight years.

But Vladimir's grandfather and father once held Vladimir's hand and told Vladimir stories about that time when he was a child.

This sense of scene of Russians is similar to that of Xiazhou people around the 20th century.

In this collection of novels, there are also concise and popular works with humorous language. Behind seemingly ordinary little events, there are often phenomena and meanings that can make people think.

Even when writing articles that expose and criticize autocratic rule, Lao Zei still uses humorous writing techniques.

Revealing deeper connotations in a funny and ridiculous way.

This advanced way of writing works can be said to be amazing as long as you are a writer with literary attainments!

"It can be magnificent and profound."

"It can be lyrical and rough and surging."

"It really is..."

"Lucky."

Vladimir saw the end and actually used the word "lucky" to describe it.

In Vladimir's view, he can see these works, the literature of this world, and readers can see these works, which is a kind of luck for the whole world and the whole history!

...

The Jiuzhou literary world, which said before that it didn't understand why Xiazhou people had such a big reaction to the first collection of short stories, was slapped in the face in just half a month, and the degree of madness was even worse!

Almost from the second day after the release of the second collection of short stories, all major literary media and media in Jiuzhou were flooded with this collection of short stories by Lao Zei!

And exactly the same as the plot a month ago, many literary masters in Kyushu, including some who have won the Kyushu Literature Award, have expressed their admiration for this collection of short stories through various channels! !

Vladimir even publicly stated that if such a work does not win this year's Kyushu Literature Award, it will be a shame for the entire literary world!
