Chapter 419: World's Great Writers, the Power of Fate?
Chapter 419: World's Great Writers, the Power of Fate?
Wu Youde still underestimated Shazhu's determination to become stronger!
In order to become stronger, this horse is actually willing to be his son? ? ?
Nima!
I want a son as old as you to do it?
If I want a son, can I have one myself...
Just when Wu Youde was complaining in his heart, Shazhu saw that he was silent, but thought that he was moved. He suddenly felt happy, and quickly pursued the victory, and continued: "Brother Ang, don't worry, I will definitely honor you well in the future, compare with me." Kiss dad again!
When you get old, I will support you till the end of your life and burn paper for you every month! ! "
The corner of Wu Youde's mouth twitched and he said angrily: "You can pull me down, and you can give me a pension until the end of my life..."
I am determined to live longer than you, and it is almost enough for me to burn paper for you. "
Seeing that Sha Zhu was unwilling to give up and wanted to talk more, Wu Youde said again: "Zhu Zhu, as the saying goes, the master leads you in, and cultivation depends on the individual.
It's not that the more powerful the master is, the more powerful the apprentice will be, that's not the case.
Isn’t your master a ready-made example?
His father is a master of Anjin and a dignified master. This relationship is closer than that of master and apprentice, right? But hasn’t your master reached the realm of dark power now?
The key is to look at yourself and the individual. As long as you have perseverance and perseverance, are you still worried about not being able to improve? This is absolutely impossible, even God can’t see through it!
Your master has the inheritance of the magic gun Li Shuwen, which is no worse than my ancestral martial arts. Just follow your master and learn hard..."
Silly Zhu thought for a while and nodded.
"Brother Angkor, you are a master of dark energy. You must have much more experience than me. Can you give me some pointers and impart some experience to me so that I can avoid detours?"
Wu Youde also took it, and it turned into a dog-skin plaster.
You wouldn't be willing to go back without getting some benefits, right?
It's not that he hides his secrets and doesn't want to teach, but Wu Youde believes that he can't bite off more than he can chew. Now that he's learning guns well from Li Etang, he should just concentrate on learning.
As for giving advice, I am limited in what I can give.
After all, I only know Bajiquan and nothing else. Silly Zhu only practices spears. How can I give you some advice?
But it’s not good to just refuse.
In addition, from the bottom of his heart, Wu Youde still hopes that Shazhu will become stronger, so that he will be able to use him more often in the future.
After thinking about it,
Wu Youde then said: "Just give me advice. What you are practicing is spear. I don't know how to shoot, so I have nothing to give you advice. However, I will give you something that will help you recover your physical strength and increase the energy and blood in your body."
Silly Zhu, who was a little disappointed at first, suddenly became happy and grinned from ear to ear.
"Really?"
"Hahahaha...that's great!"
"Brother Angkor, thank you! Thank you so much! You treat me better than my father treats me. Thank you Brother Angkor..."
Wu Youde waved his hand, indicating to him to wait for a while, then stood up and walked out.
Not long after, he came back with a bottle of Guilingji medicinal wine.
"This medicinal wine is a bit strong. You should drink half a sip every day first. When you feel that your body can handle it, you can drink a sip every day."
"remember!!"
Wu Youde's face suddenly darkened and he said solemnly: "This medicinal wine is a secret recipe passed down from my ancestors. It is very difficult to brew and the quantity is limited.
If he is not one of my own, I will never give it to him.
Zhuzi, you have to keep it a secret. If it is leaked, don’t come to me to get it from me in the future. Is it possible for you to do it? "
Seeing Wu Youde being so serious about it, and then looking at the bright yellow-brown medicinal wine with a hint of fluidity, Shazhu's heart trembled, and he was even more happy.
This is good stuff!
Quantity is limited...
So what's there to hesitate about?
He nodded decisively and said hurriedly: "Okay, okay! Brother Ang, don't worry, I will definitely keep my mouth shut and won't say a word to anyone!"
I took this medicinal wine back and drank it secretly. If anyone asked, I would tell them that I bought it at Huichun Hall. Oh, right……
I didn’t even tell my master! "
Wu Youde glanced at him and said in his heart that you are such a good apprentice.
"Okay, okay, take it and go."
"Hey, thank you Angkor, thank you!"
……
After sending Silly Zhu away, Wu Youde sat at the desk.
He spread out the letter paper, thought for a moment, and then started writing...
"Dear baby, we have only been separated for more than ten days, but I have already thought of you thousands of times, tens of thousands of times, so many times that I can't even count you...
No matter how many times I count, I can’t count them all.
This finally understands an old saying from the East, which goes like this: Not seeing each other for one day is like three autumns.
It's true, my dear, this is how I feel right now..."
Wu Youde was writing a letter to Margaret. He promised to come back and write to her. He had been delayed for several days and it was time to write. Otherwise, Margaret's letter would have come first.
How embarrassing is that?
He first expressed his lovesickness, and then lamented the pain of lovesickness.
Then he talked about his plan...
Simply put,
He wants to write a European novel and serialize it in the West. After the work sells well, it will naturally attract a large number of fans. In this way, as the author of the novel, he will naturally have a name in the Western world.
In theory,
The more popular the work, the greater his fame.
When they become famous enough and announce their relationship, there will definitely be less resistance.
In theory,
The greater the reputation, the less resistance.
This plan has been thought up by Wu Youde for a long time. It is not difficult for him now. In the past, he thought of writing a Chinese version first and then translating it into English.
But not long ago, I opened a gift box and got a [Proficient in English], so I don’t need to go to such trouble, I can just write in English.
In addition, this plan fits his character very well.
A writer!
This is his current occupation. If he can write Chinese novels, then writing an English novel is not so out of the ordinary. It makes sense.
And there is,
The persona of a writer has a bit of a personality. The more popular a book is, the higher the author's personality, and the higher the recognition and respect among the public.
Just imagine,
What would it be like if Wu Youde wrote a book that sold well in dozens of European countries and swept through bookstores in Europe and the United States?
Knowing that her sister is in love with such a talented writer, the Queen will only be happy and bless her!
The majority of people in the Eagle Country are only proud of their princess and think this is a perfect love!
After explaining the plan in detail,
In order to provide Margaret with confidence, Wu Youde also said that he had already thought about the core of the story of the new work and the general plot development. He also said that he would start writing in the near future. When Margaret receives this letter, she may He has already started writing.
As for what Wu Youde said when they parted in Kowloon, there was something he didn't want to hide from Margaret, and Wu Youde also mentioned it in this letter.
But he said,
I won’t tell Margaret this time. I’ll give it to her together with the manuscript of the new book when I write to her next time.
He wrote a letter of four or five pages before he stopped writing.
……
After finishing writing and putting the envelope in place, Wu Youde began to prepare for his new work.
He has relatively ample time now. The only novel he is serializing is "The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber", and he has already written half of it.
In addition, "Wenyi Bao" is a bimonthly magazine with only two issues a month, so the requirements for updates are very low.
Wu Youde is just too idle now. He will write a little, tens of thousands of words at a time, and can stick to the update requirement for two months.
Therefore, he has plenty of time and energy to write a new book.
What should I write?
Wu Youde fell into deep thought...
If you want to become famous in the Western world, you naturally have to write masterpieces and best-sellers, otherwise it is better not to write.
Wu Youde also knew the best-selling books in Europe and the United States in recent years.
In other words, all the foreign classics he had read in his previous life were bestsellers!
If it's not a best-seller and it's not circulated domestically, he won't read it, right?
I'm afraid I haven't even heard of it.
So, what are the best-selling books in Europe and the United States?
First of all, the Bible.
This book is the best, no doubt about it.
The best-selling and most popular book in the world!
The total global sales volume exceeds 5 billion copies, and data also shows that the global circulation of the Bible exceeds 10 billion copies!
It doesn't matter, this book has been around for hundreds of years.
Moreover, even if there is none, I can’t write it. It’s not that I can’t write it, I can definitely write it, but no one will read it, or it will definitely not have such a big influence.
There is no doubt about this!
There are many reasons for this, so I won’t go into too much detail.
So besides the Bible, what other best-selling books are there?
The Lord of the Rings sold 250 million copies.
Harry Potter has sold 700 million copies.
The Little Prince has sold 200 million copies.
Don Quixote sold 500 million copies.
A Tale of Two Cities sold 200 million copies.
Alice in Wonderland sold 100 million copies.
"The Count of Monte Cristo" sold 500 million copies.
There are also "A Tale of Two Cities", "The Old Man and the Sea", "Wuthering Heights", "Pride and Prejudice"...
Etc., etc.
These are all bestsellers, but many of them could not be written because the time was not right.
Take "The Lord of the Rings" for example. This book was officially published in 1954. Up to now, the original author has revised the whole book several times. What's the point of writing it? Pass!
And The Little Prince.
This book is also very good and can easily capture the hearts of readers of all ages. It's a pity that it was published last year in 1953.
The same is true for Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, but this book was published earlier, as early as 1865.
Pass!
Pass! !
There are other books like this, such as The Count of Monte Cristo, Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea, A Tale of Two Cities, etc.
thinking about it,
Wu Youde feels that there are not many works that meet his requirements, except for "Harry Potter" and "Game of Thrones".
There are also "Who Moved My Cheese" and "One Hundred Years of Solitude", which are also suitable.
These four books have different styles and literary qualities.
The first two books are popular novels that readers can get into and continue reading at first glance, and they are very good at attracting readers.
The last two are different.
Let’s talk about "One Hundred Years of Solitude" first. This book is the kind that has hypnotic effects. It makes people sleepy as soon as they read it, and they fall asleep without realizing it after reading just two pages.
It's amazing.
But its literary quality, as well as the social reality it reflects, examines life and the world...
In this respect, it is much better than the previous two books.
Just one sentence, "One Hundred Years of Solitude" won the Nobel Prize in Literature!
If you write this book, your status will soar to the sky, and you will have a place in the world literary world, and you will be the center of attention, and your name will go down in history! !
This is something that cannot be compared to writing twenty Harry Potter books!!
Just think about it, it’s pretty exciting!!
Well, this book must be written.
But forget about the first one. Anyway, there are still more than ten years before this book comes out. It’s still early and there’s no need to rush.
After thinking for a while,
Wu Youde decided to write "Who Moved My Cheese" first.
This book came out relatively late, not until 1998, and has relatively few words, only about 40,000, making it a short story.
However, its sales volume and influence are not low.
Since its publication in September 1998, the book has sold 20 million copies in two years and quickly ranked first on the best-selling book lists of The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, and Business Week.
Until 2001,
After being introduced to China by CITIC Press, the book topped the bestseller lists of major Chinese media for 128 consecutive weeks. There are a total of seven Chinese translations.
One hundred and twenty-eight weeks, that’s two and a half years!
By the time Wu Youde traveled through time, the global sales of this book had exceeded 200 million copies!
More appropriately,
This book is a fable, which is suitable for people of all ages and does not pose any reading difficulties. It is very suitable as a test work in the Western world.
Make up your mind.
Wu Youde began to recall the book "Who Moved My Cheese" he had read before. The plot of this book is very simple.
Two little mice, "Sniff" and "Scurry", and two dwarfs, "Hum" and "Haw", live in a maze, and cheese is what they are looking for.
one day,
They also discovered a cheese warehouse with abundant reserves, and built their happy life around it.
One day, a long time later, the cheese suddenly disappeared...
This sudden change exposed their mentality.
The four people reacted differently.
The two mice sniffed and hurried, moving with the changes, and immediately put on the shoes that were always hanging around their necks, started out to look for more, and soon found fresher and richer cheese.
The two dwarfs, Hem and Haw, were hesitant and troubled in the face of change. They could not accept the cruel reality that the cheese had disappeared.
After a fierce ideological struggle,
Ji Ji finally broke through the shackles of his thoughts, put on his long-unused running shoes, re-entered the dark maze, and eventually found more and better cheese, while Heng Heng was still depressed and complaining about everything.
……
I recalled the plot carefully.
The sentences he had read before appeared clearly in Wu Youde's mind one by one, and the pen in his hand began to move...
As his internal strength deepens, his physical condition is getting better and better.
Not only do the hearing and eyes become sharper, but the flexibility and agility of the limbs are also greatly improved, as can be seen in the writing speed.
Brush, brush, brush... brush, brush, brush...
A series of English words appeared quickly under his pen with extremely high accuracy. He wrote a whole page of paper, and there was not a single mistake in the thousands of words.
Being proficient in English is really a plus!
This allowed Wu Youde to write very smoothly and his efficiency soared. After three hours, there was a stack of manuscripts on the table and most of the story had been written.
Looking at his results, Wu Youde thought that writing in English seemed to be faster than writing in Chinese, because each word in English was winding and convoluted, while writing in English was very smooth.
Chinese is different. It has horizontal and vertical strokes, as well as left and right strokes.
That night, Wu Youde was unusually diligent.
After dinner, he returned to his desk and continued to write, intending to finish "Who Moved My Cheese" in one go.
I didn't stop writing until nearly eleven o'clock at night.
Finish writing and end the exercise.
……
The next day,
Wu Youde wrote another letter, in which he said that after writing to Margaret yesterday, perhaps because he missed her too much, he suddenly felt something in his heart and suddenly thought of a little story.
Then I wrote this short story overnight.
He hoped that Margaret could help contact some serialization channels, such as the London Daily News, the Times, etc. He also said that he would entrust the book "Who Moved My Cheese" to Margaret and let her handle it.
This letter mainly reflects the "power of longing" and "unconditional trust in the lover". Wu Youde feels that Margaret will definitely be overjoyed when she sees this letter.
After finishing writing,
The two letters and the manuscript were put into a large kraft paper envelope, and Wu Youde went out to Tong Ren Tang, where Le Wenyuan happened to be.
"Why haven't you come to my house to pick up letters recently?" Wu Youde asked.
Le Wenyuan rolled his eyes and said unhappily, "Am I sick? Why are you making trouble for yourself? Whoever sends the letter should send it. I won't run errands for them."
"Ah!"
Wu Youde smiled and said calmly: "Okay, then I will write a letter to Margaret and tell her that Peter is not in a hurry to send letters, and ask her to help me think of a solution.
Let’s go, Master Le…see you later.”
Le Wenyuan's face changed and he quickly shouted, "Hey, don't, don't, don't!"
He hurriedly ran out from the counter, stopped in front of Wu Youde, frowned and said: "Old Wu, why are you acting like a child and complaining?
Isn’t it interesting? "
"Isn't what I said the truth?"
"…You…the truth is bullshit!"
Le Wenyuan slapped the big envelope, unwillingly, and said viciously: "Alright, alright, let's go!!"
"When the reply comes, remember to send it to me. I won't come here to get it. It's too far."
"Get lost! I really owe you..."
Wu Youde left happily.
……
Coming out of Tong Ren Tang,
He didn't go home either, but went to the silk shop again.
As soon as I entered the store, I saw Xiao Cui'er talking to a young man. When she saw Wu Youde coming in, Xiao Cui's face lit up and she left that man and walked over.
"Brother Wu, you are here."
This is the name Wu Youde asked Xiao Cui to call him. Before, hearing "Mr. Wu" or "Mr. Wu" sounded too unfamiliar.
"Well, busy?"
Wu Youde nodded and asked casually, looking at the man who just turned around.
Suddenly, he was stunned.
Why is he here?
Could this be the power of fate?
"Miss Xiao Cui, since Boss Chen is not here, I will come another day. Please tell her when she comes back."
"Goodbye, Miss Cui."
The man was very polite, and said with a smile, then glanced at Wu Youde and left the store...
After the man left, Wu Youde asked, "Is your young lady not here?"
"Here!"
Xiao Cui blinked her big eyes and said with a smile: "In the backyard, Miss misses you very much."
"Didn't he just say he wasn't there?"
"Hehe! I was just trying to scare him. The young lady is too lazy to see him, and I'm also annoyed by him... Humph, I won't let him see me!
Isn't it possible for everyone to see Miss? ? "
Xiao Cui acted very proud and arrogant.
Wu Youde couldn't help laughing when he saw this. He reached out and rubbed her hair, then walked to the back.
