Culture Conquers Foreign Worlds

　　 The hard winter has passed, and there are no traces of white snow on the streets and streets. You can feel the obvious warmth in the sun in the early spring.

The city of El Roy has undergone tremendous changes in the past six months. The Earl of Monte Cristo novels are turbulent in the city of El Roy. After they shine in the Norton literary world and are supported by the Earl of Henrietta, Bernard is the largest city in the city. The publishing house was ruined in the social world because of deliberately suppressing "The Count of Monte Cristo", and had to declare the family bankrupt.

Then the phantom appeared. The current downtown railway station and central square both retain the photographic crystals donated by Harvey. They will continue to play videos, often attracting a large number of children to stop and watch and play around. In this era of lack of entertainment, It is also a great satisfaction for poor children who are illiterate to see novel phantoms.

Harvey felt a bit empathetic when he saw this scene. Harvey still remembers that color TVs were not even popular in the city where he was a little boy, and he often went to watch TV at his friends’ homes. At that time, he played "Little Overlord". The games are connected to a black and white TV, so most of the Xiaobawang games he remembers are black and white.

These drastic changes made El Roy the title of "Phantom City", because the first true phantom, the "Count of Monte Cristo" promotional film was released in El Roy, and the second was called the Phantom City. Father Harvey also settled in this city. The title has significantly increased the number of tourists in Elroy. What makes Harvey dumbfounded is that his old house is about to become a popular tourist attraction, and people can often be seen. Use the photography device to take pictures of the souvenirs.

On the other hand, since Harvey announced the method of making photographic crystals, in just half a month, various photographic installations have been flooded in the kingdom, with good or bad quality. The most representative one is produced by the Cromwell Chamber of Commerce. The photographic crystals that came out were positioned as luxury goods and were sold exclusively to aristocratic merchants or professionals in the field. The price was not low, but because it used the technology developed by Harvey, it was once sought after and became the most representative brand in the high-end photography field. , Is always in a situation of short supply.

　　 Now, the reviewer Pulan takes a photographic device with a photographic crystal as the core to take pictures of a bookstore, which will be used for the headlines of the newspapers printed by their publishing house tomorrow. Although there is no photosensitive material, the images captured by the camera can still be printed on newspapers by special methods, but the images captured are only in black and white, and the clarity is not high.

　　 Now there is a long line up in the bookstores owned by the publishing house operated by Pulan. Looking at the end of the line at the corner of the street hundreds of meters away, it is roughly estimated that there are no fewer than a thousand people in line. There are young and old in the queue, poor people in tattered clothes, and wealthy people in decent overcoats. Most of the people in line have an eager look and sometimes talk to others about their excitement.

　　 Standing across the street, Pulan leaned back against the wall and watched this scene. He asked profoundly: "Mottley, what day is it today?"

　　 Motley faintly responded with a cigarette: "Three."

Pulan continued to ask in a complacent tone: "Why do you say that it is obviously Wednesday, but there are so many people queuing here, maybe none of them have a job, oh~ Seeing these people in line wearing beautiful clothes, it’s obviously not that same. What's going on."

　　Senior reviewer Motley exhaled a puff of white smoke and said amusedly: "What do you want to say?"

"Don't you have any special thoughts when you see this scene? Today is our publishing house's last day! This camera will record all this scene!" Puland took a photo fixed with a tripod. Yi quipped with a smile.

　　"······"

　　Pulan is still yelling: "I will go to the old place to have a drink later, celebrate and celebrate, wait for a period of time, and then officially celebrate again."

　　 Motley looked at Pulan, who was full of excitement, shook his head and laughed, but he understood his feelings now.

　　 After getting the complete illustration of "Dark Age" more than half a month ago, Pulan devoted all his time to this novel, thinking about publicity plans, planning publicity slogans and publicity activities. From Motley's point of view, most of them are useless. It is not that publicity is ineffective, but the name Harvey Adrian itself has a huge influence, and publicity is just icing on the cake.

　　 More than half a month ago, the publishing house and newspaper operated by Pulan began to disclose the news of "Dark Age".

Pulan was originally Harvey’s reviewer, and what he released was quite convincing to fans of the "Count of Monte Cristo". Then, as time went on, on the day Harvey was awarded the Bauhinia Literary Award, Pulan officially It is announced that Harvey's new novel "Dark Age" will be published soon, and the literary world of Elroy is boiling again!

　　 How long has the "Count of Monte Cristo" been published! ? How long has the Phantom been in theaters! ?

　　The new novel is finished so soon?

Because of this incident, other publishing houses in the city also feel uneasy. Harvey’s name has become the logo of Elroy. If Harvey’s name is used in an article, it will surely take away a large number of readers. UU read www.uukanshu. Of course, because of the Bernard Press incident, they dare not complain about Harvey, and they have implicitly questioned the authenticity of this incident.

　　 Pulan was very happy about it. Isn’t this a great opportunity to get hot on this topic? He took advantage of the situation and issued a novel illustration of "Dark Age".

Shirley’s illustrations are unparalleled in recognition. In addition, Shirley is the actor of the "Earl of Monte Cristo" Phantom Melcedes, Harvey’s maid, Harvey did not deny it, and the publication of the new work is finalized. Down. Now even the Norton newspapers were alarmed, and the news was published in "Norton Night" the next day, which caused a shock in Norton's literary world.

　　Norton's literary circles have mixed opinions on this.

　　 Harvey was the first novelist to win the Bauhinia Award for his novel. Many well-known novelists questioned Harvey’s writing ability, believing that Harvey was opportunistic and won the Bauhinia Award by making the so-called Phantom. This kind of suspicion is natural. Harvey is not the only novelist in this world. The development of the times has promoted the birth of countless novelists. Novelists who have struggled for decades in the field of literature are everywhere, and the works by them are The middle power of the Kingdom’s literature. However, the Bauhinia Award, which represents the highest contribution in the field of literature, was won by a novelist who was less than twenty and had written only one work. How to get them to accept it.

On the one hand, "The Count of Monte Cristo" was highly praised. On the other hand, because Harvey won the Bauhinia award, Norton appeared many voices criticizing Harvey and Count Henrietta, criticizing the two for their opportunism in the literary field and suppressing them with new things. Literary development.

It seems to others that the second novel will become a work that will establish Harvey’s status in the kingdom’s literary world, but maybe even Count Henrietta himself did not expect that Harvey wrote "Dark Age" with a joke mentality. .
