Global Update [Quick Transmigration]

Compared with "56", which is more popular among students and young people, the book "Ordinary Man" can be said to have truly broken the age gap and achieved widespread dissemination in a full sense.

In this era, most people are still illiterate. After all, reading newspapers is only a pastime for a small number of people in the big cities. Drinking wine, and by the way, chatting and farting with a bowl of peanuts is the greatest pastime for them.

If you have a little spare money, you will go to a tea house in the city to sit.Compared with the Qing teahouse where businessmen talk about things, it is obvious that the kind of teahouse that also sells alcohol is more popular with the general public.

Order one or two small dishes, a pot of hot tea or a pot of rice wine, and they can sit in the teahouse for a whole day without moving their nests.

But chatting with people all the time will also get boring, so a novel and wonderful storytelling plays a vital role in it.Many teahouses employ storytellers to attract customers. After two or three storytelling sessions a day, the business can often be improved to a higher level.

Most of the storytellers talk about the four great classics, the official history and the unofficial history, and the more powerful ones will add a few paragraphs of Allegro or Lotus Fall.But now business is hard to do, the competition between teahouses is gradually heating up, and the competition among storytellers is also becoming more and more fierce. These alone are no longer able to satisfy the audience's requirements. Content wins.

Therefore, storytellers turned their attention to the most popular vernacular novels.

However, not all novels are suitable for adaptation into storytelling.

For example, Qiao Jing's essay "Untimely Birth" has a sense of drama and irony.In the process of adaptation, the storyteller will also add some exaggerated plot plots, such as saying that many literati published in the newspaper to criticize "All Living Beings", saying that three hundred Confucian scholars besieged Yan Heqing, and that he was not afraid of power and Yuan Ma Er Fighting wits and courage, and so on, he is almost portrayed as a glorious and tall image like Zhuge Kongming who is fighting with the Confucians.

However, the audience likes it.

After the storytelling book adapted from "Untimely Life" became very popular, storytellers have tasted the sweetness, and they have their eyes on Qiao Jing's new book.

Unfortunately, "56" is not suitable for adaptation into storytelling.Although some people have tried it, ordinary people just listen to it. The most important thing about storytelling is to mobilize the audience's emotions. In this regard, "56" is a bit too sunny.

But "Everybody" is different.

This book seems to be tailor-made for storytellers. The independent serialized character stories are not only very interesting to tell, but also the content is very down-to-earth and full of emotions, which can easily resonate with the audience.

When they heard it, they sometimes laughed loudly, sometimes mourned, and sometimes burst into anger, fascinated, as if they had become the people in the book.Even more temperamental people, when they heard that the Mu family was full of heroes and only the eighty-year-old mother asked my son if he was brave, he couldn't help crying, and he gritted his back molars, looking like he wanted to rush to the city right now. Shanhaiguan killed the enemy for revenge.

After a storytelling session ended, many people were still unsatisfied, shouting loudly for the storyteller to say two more paragraphs, some of them were rewards.

Every time at this time, the storyteller can only show a wry smile and apologize.

Is it because they don't want to talk about it?

Yan Heqing, the original author, didn't write the following content, so what can they do with storytellers?

So...

For their jobs, the storytellers also rolled up their sleeves one after another and joined the mighty army of reminders.

Yan Heqing!Update quickly! !

If you don't update it, they will still tell the same old stories, and the words will be bad!

Not only that, but some storytellers will give all of you a hand when a storytelling is over and the audience is still feeling disappointed, and frankly explain the reason for the absence of the following, and sincerely invite you to contribute to the "Dongfang Beijing News" and the audience. The editor of "Aimin Daily" wrote a letter, asking them to urge more manuscripts to benefit you, me and him.

In the end, the biggest winners became the owners of the major post offices in the city.

In order to express their gratitude, they also specially hosted Xu Weixin and Xu Xiaoming for a meal.Of course, Yan Heqing himself was the one these people most wanted to invite, but after thinking about it, Qiao Jing would definitely not go to this kind of entertainment.

At the dinner table, several people smiled and said that thanks to Mr. Yan, your newspaper has now become the biggest partner of our post office.

Xu Weixin: "..."

Now, he only needs to think of the snowflakes of letters from readers sent to the newspaper office every day. How many letters are there?Even if they are used as firewood, they are enough for a family of three to live through the winter!

Coupled with several reprints that were all sold out, the income of the newspaper office more than doubled. Xu Weixin has already begun to consider whether to rent a new building, or contract out the garden restaurant downstairs to expand the office space of the newspaper office. up.

And with the experience of the previous few times, Xu Weixin began to carry out the work of integrated publishing in the middle of the serialization of "Ordinary People".After consulting Qiao Jing, he divided "Ordinary People" into two volumes. The paper and ink are all made of the best materials. The cover also specially invited a famous artist in the city to design it. It can be said that he is very caring. .

But after doing all this, Xu Weixin still felt that it was not enough.

He had an inexplicable premonition that this "Ordinary Man" might become Qiao Jing's masterpiece in the near future and become the most brilliant stroke in his writing career.

Therefore, he hopes that there will be a heavyweight person to write the preface for this book.

Xu Weixin thought for a while, and finally visited Wen Chunqiu on a rest day.

"Preface?" Wen Chunqiu laughed when he heard his intention, "Okay, I was thinking about it!"

He agreed in one gulp, so fast that Xu Weixin, who had just cleared his throat, was stunned.

"Does Qiao Jing know about this?" Wen Chunqiu asked again.

Xu Weixin shook his head: "I haven't told him yet."

He scratched his head, and said with some embarrassment: "Isn't this coming here to test your reputation? I didn't expect you to agree so readily. I will tell him tomorrow and let him come to the door to thank you in person."

"... Forget it, don't embarrass him."

Wen Chunqiu is very aware of Qiao Jing's character, and he will definitely come, but when the time comes, it is estimated that they will just sit at home and stare at each other, or listen to him without saying a word, which is meaningless up.

Xu Weixin sighed enviously.

To be able to find such a good teacher, he thought, Qiao Jing's luck is really first-class.

But looking at it from another angle, you need to be hardworking yourself to forge iron, and to be appreciated by a master like Wen Chunqiu, then there must be a lot of excellence in this person, which most people can't envy even if they want to.

It's another Monday.

People on the street are no longer satisfied with going to teahouses to listen to storytelling. After all, it takes time to adapt, but they are illiterate. Even if they spend money to buy a newspaper, they can basically only stare at the printed words on it.

The new president of the Vernacular Fiction Club at Jingluo University has noticed this keenly.

At an event, he told the members about this and made a suggestion:

They can mobilize the students of Jingluo University to go to the streets to read books for people for free and promote patriotism.

The Fiction Club unanimously approved the proposal.

The next day, many students in black tunic suits appeared on the street. Each of them held a stack of newspapers and a piece of white cardboard with the words "free listening to books" written on it with a brush.When encountering a crowded place, he would put down the cardboard, yell, pick up the newspaper and start reading aloud.

People stared at these young people strangely at first, not knowing what they were doing, but soon they heard that they were reading the content of "Ordinary People"-isn't this equivalent to free storytelling?

Even if the students are not as professional as the storyteller, as long as there are fresh stories to listen to, no matter what!

Basically, it didn't take long before a circle of people surrounded the students.

There are men, women and children here, even if the students are nervous because of the crowd, sometimes stuttering when they read, no one will rush or show any impatient appearance, just staring at the direction in the middle of the crowd intently, and Kind people handed them water to moisten their throats.

As the students' reading became better and better, the emotions of the people around them were also mobilized. Many men couldn't help their eyes turning red, and the girls even burst into tears.Even old women and ragged beggars walking on the street are attracted by the sound of their reading, and they can't help but stop and listen. When they hear the empathy, the numb faces covered with dust and frost will also feel the same. He showed a dazed expression.

The monitor who used to be in the same class as Qiao Jing saw this scene by chance, and felt mixed feelings for a while.

He stared blankly at the crowd gathered around the students, listening quietly and attentively to their studies. This was something the class president never dreamed would happen in this country, but it did happen now.

Qiao Jing...Yan Heqing once told him categorically that the future of this country will definitely be hundreds of times better than his most optimistic imagination.The squad leader didn't really believe it at that time, but now when he saw this scene, a small spark of hope could not help but ignite in his heart.

Perhaps what he said was true?

The family has already booked a boat ticket for him. After half a month, he will leave this country and go to study abroad on the other side of the ocean.

"The purpose of our higher education is not to get rid of the impoverished hometown," the squad leader murmured what Wen Chunqiu said to them standing in the auditorium when he entered the school, "...but to let the hometown get rid of poverty. poor."

Four years passed in a flash, and until now, he really understood the profound meaning of the principal's words.

Before leaving, the squad leader thought, buy a copy of "Ordinary Man" and take it away. ,

A week later.

The first volume of "Ordinary People" was released, and within half a day, the entire city was out of stock.

The literary circles in the north and south were shaken, and it was hard to find a book in China.

Wen Chunqiu personally wrote the preface for his students.

The content of this preface seems to have nothing to do with this book, but it is related word by word.

This is the first passage in classical Chinese written by this old man who firmly supports the new culture and vernacular in decades:

"...Thirty-six thousand days in a hundred years, we have experienced the suffering of the nation, and gone through the vicissitudes of change. The flames of war and the smoke of the country are passionate."

"Turn the tide before it falls, and support the building on the broken beam. The only wish in this life is that the spring breeze will be green again, and China will be bathed in the morning sun again."
