Reborn great writer

"How could it be just an advertisement for a book? And it's the book of that Chinese person?" Shama felt unbelievable, really unbelievable. According to this level of production, the resulting movie can definitely be called a blockbuster.No, it should be said to be a blockbuster movie. It is completely believed that this movie will definitely be a box office bomb when it comes out. Anyway, Shama will not only support herself, but will definitely bring a group of friends to support it.

A rare and wonderful western fantasy film!

But what about the result?But the result!It turned out to be just a promotional video for a book, simply put, it was an advertisement! !

Well, don’t say it’s a book, even if it’s an advertisement for any other industry, such as famous tobacco and wine, famous brand clothing, high-end cosmetics, no matter how profitable the industry is, Shama has never seen such a large-scale advertisement advertise.

"Is it really okay to make such a big advertisement for the promotion of a book?" Shama couldn't help asking such a question.

Shama had heard the name of "The Frozen Throne" a long time ago, but she never watched it. Shama is a loyal supporter of Curd, and in her heart, Western fantasy is their Western legend, How can a Chinese person write well.

Moreover, in the news report, Su Shichen said that he wanted to use "The Frozen Throne" to surpass the Outsider Continent created by Kodd, which made Shama feel very annoyed.

Of course, Shama is not discriminating against Chinese people. She knows that China has a special type of novel called martial arts. She does not believe that Su Shichen can write a good Western fantasy and she does not believe that an American can write a good martial arts novel. The reason is the same. Well, she has read a lot of Huaxia's novels, including Mitt Chu's. Although they try their best to imitate the way of thinking of Westerners, they still find the dialogue between characters very weird.

So even if it was revealed that Su Shichen was the legendary black godfather, and even that "Love Without Boundaries" became the No. this time……

She hurriedly packed up and went out.She is going to buy it to have a look, even if the text is weird, she will recognize it, because now she is eager to know what the black dragon Deathwing is going to do after flying out, and also wants to know the relationship between Arthas and Illidan. Who won the battle, and I want to know who Alsace merged with, why he changed from a death knight to a Lich King after wearing a mask...

These questions one by one seem to be haunting Shama all the time, making her eager to know the answer to the question.

Look at Shama's reaction.Su Shichen's publicity plan for "The Frozen Throne" is undoubtedly super successful.

Whether it's from music to pictures.Still from the plot to the characters, they undoubtedly conquered many people.In particular, the ferocious Deathwing and the domineering Alsace attracted many people, which also made many American readers who had dismissed "The Frozen Throne" go to the bookstore.

The six-and-a-half-minute cg animation of "The Frozen Throne" plus the money spent on advertising is really not a small price.But this effect is totally worth it. Yesterday the sales volume exceeded 200 million and was close to 300 million. Judging from today's situation, this is the rhythm of directly breaking through 500 million!

With a daily sales volume of 500 million, this sales volume can already be squeezed into the top [-] of the best-selling book Bandana in the United States, from the top [-] to the top [-].Some authors may not be able to cross this span in their lifetime. Now that Su Shichen has crossed it with an advertisement, why is it not worth it?

The first part of Su Shichen's plan to conquer the United States can be said to have been completely successful, and the rest is the second part...

Shama rushed to the bookstore in a hurry. The sales volume of "The Frozen Throne" has been booming in the past two days, so the bookstore owner also put it in a prominent place, so it is easy to find.

"That's it!" Hold it in your hand.Some heavy.

"That's cool! This is after Arthas became the Lich King?" Shama exclaimed.

"Why is the price so much higher?" Shama wondered, "Is it because it's a foreign novel, so it's more expensive? But that's not right, the price of "Song of the Stars" is normal."

It is more expensive, but Shama's strong curiosity really made her unable to bear it.So she didn't care too much, paid the bill at the counter and left with the book in her arms.

After taking it home, Shama couldn't wait to open the book, and the first volume she read was naturally "The Betrayal of Alsace".

"Sure enough, it's just as I thought. Alsace should be a knight of the light, and then he was lured by a powerful force, and finally defected. This is an old-fashioned story. The only cleverness may lie in the The name of the fallen knight became the death knight."

Seeing the name of the first volume, Shama couldn't help muttering. She has already completed all the plots in her mind, and she is still complaining that the author has nothing new. If she didn't want to know the answer above the promotional animation, she probably wouldn't have read it. will see.

"I hope it's not too weird!" Shama was still thinking in her heart before reading it, but after reading a part of the content, Shama had such a question in her heart, "Is this really written by that foreigner named su? "

This style of writing is so western that it can't be more western. The most important thing is the dialogue between the characters, which is a typical western pattern. If you don't know in advance that the author of this book is Chinese, you will not notice it at all.

People who have never lived in the West will not understand the Western way of life and speaking. This is a blemish. No matter how much Western literature is studied, it is difficult to make up for this. In a word, it is It has its shape but not its spirit.Master-level writers like Chu Xing, who won the Lifetime Achievement Award at the Hugo Awards, have this problem, but this rule does not work for Su Shichen, the most talented person.

"I heard that Su has never been to the United States, but he can write such a purely Western-style novel. This is really a genius!"

Continue reading, and the story of Alsace slowly unfolds. This "The Frozen Throne" not only breaks the rules, but also breaks Shama's obsession that Chinese people can't write Western fantasy novels well.

Unexpectedly wonderful, and...

The Stratholme killing contest, being seduced by Ner'zhul, pulling out Frostmourne, all the wonderful plots stimulated Shama's brain.

"I really think it's too simple. Alsace is not the old-fashioned story of pursuing power and finally falling." After watching Alsace's defection, she had no idea that it would be so complicated.

Indeed, there is no proper word for death knight to use degenerate, because Alsace's defection cannot be described with the word degenerate, and his entire psychological process and the oppression of that environment are very well described.

"The battle between Arthas and Illidan, the winner is Arthas. So it is."

The views of the West and the East are different, to be precise, the focus is different.Just like the same content, Shama's focus is on the fact that Arthas ascended the Frozen Throne with mortal strength.

Although the text does not have the intuitive feeling of animation, the text is more detailed.Illidan was scarred and nearly collapsed, and Arthas was even worse. During the battle, he felt the power of the Lich King in his body was passing.So this battle is not just two lonely men fighting as in the promotional CG animation, but two exhausted fighters fighting. Although Alsace still won in the end, the victory is He won, but the strength in his body almost disappeared.

Arthas became a mortal.But still boarded the Frozen Throne, put on the crown of the Lich King, merged with it, and became the new Lich King. This is the meaning of the sentence at the end of the promotional animation. The new Lich King!

"Arthas went from paladin to Lich King. It's really amazing!" Shama then read all the other three character chapters.

but……

"Why is there no Deathwing? Why didn't the Deathwing who broke free from the seal appear? It is clearly shown in the promotional animation." Shama is not stupid, and she quickly understood that the promotional animation did not say that it appeared in it. There must be some in the book, and it is very likely that there will be the second and third parts in the next one. To put it simply, it is used to build popularity.

"Su is too bad. He actually came up with such a method, and the writing is very exciting, but I feel that this scene is a bit small. It is a story of a few heroes. Although this kind of work is wonderful, it is absolutely impossible to surpass Mr. Ke De's "Alien" The Outlander Continent constructed by the "Outsider Series"." Shama commented in this way, and did not regard "The Frozen Throne" as the opponent of "The Real Outsider".

"Huh? There seems to be a sandwich in the book." Shama was too focused when reading, and didn't notice that the book actually had two parts.

"War chapters and character chapters? No wonder they are more expensive than other books. The character chapters are used to construct characters, and the war chapters are used to construct the world? Such a cool way of writing!"

【Battle of Mount Hyjal】

The war chapter feels completely different from the previous character chapters. The races of the characters appearing on the stage and the entire world view are highlighted, which is not comparable to the character chapters at all.

"This is building the world." A small part of Shama who read the war chapter [Battle of Mount Hyjal] finally paid attention to it, and regarded it as the opponent of "The Real Outsider".

But Shama discovered another thing... She discovered that the words spoken by the elves in the novel were a language she didn't know.

Why unknown characters, not words?Because this kind of writing is obviously not English, let alone French, German, etc., so it is said that it is a kind of writing that she does not know.

"This is definitely not Chinese. I have seen Chinese, but what kind of language is this? Didn't it be translated when the book was translated?" The writing of this kind of language is somewhat similar to Arabic, but Shama searched it on the Internet. , nor Arabic, and most importantly, the writing of these characters does not seem to belong to the language of any country in the world.

Doesn't belong to any country, does it?A crazy idea emerged in Shama's head.

"It can't be true, right? Yes, I should be thinking too much." Shama felt that her idea was too crazy.

But sometimes the craziest ideas are the truth...

Immediately, a line of notes on the blank space above the book confirmed her idea [Elvish: [Translation] Let's fight together! 】

"Oh my God! Isn't this true? Is this author trying to create a language?"

Shama was dumbfounded...
