A healing writer? No, it's a depressing writer!

Chapter 173 Enjoy this tragic feast! The master of depression is online, and no one can be spared! (4k)

One must do something meaningful in one's life.

Some people live just to pursue love and the illusory Sakurajima Mai.

Some people live just to enjoy this world, and then escape with David Tao after the concert.

Some people live to sacrifice themselves and illuminate others.

obviously--

Jiang Hai is the third type!
Mr. Lu Xun once said a wise saying:

“A true master always has the heart of an apprentice.”

Although Jiang Hai has been the school's cherished treasure, the teacher's model student, and the wandering code publicized by major newspapers and media, Jiang Hai has never forgotten from beginning to end -

Writing is his mission!
After receiving the receipt from Fenghui magazine, Jiang Hai looked at the dark versions of Little Red Riding Hood and The Wolf is Coming published in the 321st issue of Fenghui magazine, and was immediately very pleased:

“Finally published”

When each issue of the magazine is released, the magazine will mail a copy of the magazine containing the author's story to the contributor free of charge, for the author to keep as a souvenir.

Jiang Hai got this issue of Feng Hui magazine, stroked the beautiful illustrations on the cover, and was immediately amazed:
“This quality is actually quite good?”

To be honest, after his manuscripts were rejected by first-tier domestic children's magazines such as Children's Literature and October Boys, Jiang Hai once thought that Fenghui might be a small magazine that was not up to standard. Because of poor sales, they included children's stories like Little Red Riding Hood and The Wolf and the Little Boy with more dark elements. The purpose of doing so was -

This is to distinguish it from the mainstream children's magazines on the market.

The reason why they are willing to include their own stories may be more for the sake of curiosity?
Imagine this scenario:
When the children's literature market was dominated by "truth, goodness and beauty", a magazine that mainly featured dark fairy tales and realistic stories that shattered children's worldviews suddenly appeared on the market. The selling point of their promotion was not the truth, goodness and beauty in the traditional sense, but the realistic fairy tales that were against traditional literature.
Isn’t this the gimmick and selling point?

Mainstream magazines generally disdain to create these boring selling points and gimmicks. Only some small magazines are willing to use such eye-catching gimmicks to attract children and parents with a curiosity mentality to come and repurchase.

But when Jiang Hai checked the Internet for the sponsor of Feng Hui, he was surprised to find that Feng Hui was not some small magazine that was not worthy of being published. On the contrary -

Is this a multinational publishing company with a French joint venture background?

The so-called "Feng Hui" is to tell stories to readers with words while inserting some colorful paintings in the text to enrich children's imagination and develop their associations.

For example, in the real-life version of Little Red Riding Hood published by Jiang Hai, at the end of the story, the evil Big Bad Wolf not only defeated the hunter who represented justice, but also bit Little Red Riding Hood's throat with his sharp teeth.
In order to prevent children from having insufficient imagination and being unable to associate this picture with the text, the artist of Feng Hui also deliberately interspersed a hand-painted picture of the Big Bad Wolf biting Little Red Riding Hood's throat among the text. The content of the picture can be described as lifelike.

Looking at this seemingly warm but actually sinister and vicious scene, Jiang Hai was immediately amazed:

"How is this more cruel than me?"

That scene might scare even female college students, let alone children?
Logically speaking, shouldn't a children's magazine promote mainstream values? Why is it so eager to focus on the childhood shadow series?

Jiang Hai searched online again and found that the French joint venture publishing house behind "Feng Hui" had produced an animation called "Chinese Boy" more than ten years ago. When he saw the words "Chinese Boy", Jiang Hai suddenly realized:

"No wonder he's even more ruthless than me? Turns out he has a criminal record."

"Kids of China" is a 2007-episode animated series produced in 26 with French investment and co-production with China. It is a magical mythological drama that combines Chinese martial arts and fairy tales. The plot roughly tells the story of three lay disciples of Shaolin Temple, Hua Xiaolan, Tang Xiaolong, and Chen Xiaohu, who slay demons and fight against the Black Fox King.

This animation is very exciting and full of suspense elements. When it was broadcast, its ratings once surpassed the Japanese classic animation "Detective Conan". It is precisely because the whole show is full of suspense elements and the style is too adult that "Chinese Kids" was directly -

Reported by parents!
Halfway through the story, the company came to an abrupt end, citing a broken funding chain as an excuse.

“If Feng Hui is backed by the same French company that invested in Chinese Kids, then the illustrations for Little Red Riding Hood wouldn’t seem so bloody?”

Looking at the illustrations in the stories of "Little Red Riding Hood" and "The Boy Who Cried Wolf", Jiang Hai suddenly sighed:
“I hope I won’t be reported.”

Today is indeed a very special day.

On the one hand, Jiang Hai's drama "Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai", which won the Cao Yu Drama Literature Award, will be performed for the first time in first-tier cities across the country, including but not limited to: Yanjing, Chenghai, Guangzhou, Shenzhen.
On the other hand, "Feng Hui", which serializes Jiang Hai's original short stories "Little Red Riding Hood" and "The Wolf is Coming", and "Youth Preface", which serializes the finale of "Dragon Tribe II: The Eyes of the Mourner", were both released to the mass market on the same day, as if by coincidence.

In the dormitory.

Jiang Hai combed his hair into an adult style and put on a handsome suit. Before leaving the house, he did not forget to admire himself in the mirror:
"So damn handsome"

Last week Jianghai received a notice that his play The Butterfly Lovers would start its first round of performances at the National Centre for the Performing Arts this week. Of course, the National Centre for the Performing Arts is in the capital, and Jianghai certainly couldn't go that far.

But even if you can't go to the National Grand Theater, it wouldn't be nice to go to the Chenghai Grand Theater to see the results of your hard work, right?
Since he is his disciple, the rehearsal of the drama "Butterfly Lovers" should naturally be handled by teacher Tao Chunfang.

Not long after Jiang Hai left the house, he received a message from Teacher Tao Chunfang:
[Many city leaders will be present at the first performance of "Butterfly Lovers". Try to be more diplomatic and get to know more people. It will only benefit your future development.]

This world is a huge world of fame and fortune.

This statement is absolutely true.

I still remember that before winning the award, the plays written by Jiang Hai were only worthy of being performed in the smallest performance hall of Chenghai Grand Theater, which could only seat about 200 people at most. And even then, it couldn't even fill half of the seats?
However, ever since Jiang Hai won the award, ever since Jiang Hai was awarded the honor of Best New Screenwriter by the Cao Yu Drama Literature Award, all of this——

Everything has changed!

The Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai written by Jiang Hai can not only be performed in the largest performance hall of Chenghai Grand Theater, but even during the first round of performances, the performance hall had more than 2000 seats for viewing.

The seats were packed!

Almost full!

The original ticket price for the theater was 350 yuan per ticket, but after being publicized by media reporters and the hype of "First Round of Performances of the th Cao Award for Outstanding Dramas", the original yuan ticket price was directly raised to more than yuan by scalpers, and the price fluctuated by more than double.

Even so, it’s still hard to get a ticket!
"Brother Hai, do you have any tickets left for your performance of The Butterfly Lovers? I heard that your play is about love, right?"

"My goddess seems to be quite interested in this. Can you help me get three tickets? I want to bring her and her boyfriend to watch it together."

The moment Jiang Hai saw the fat man’s message, he was speechless.

You said that if Fatty himself wanted to bring a girl to watch a play, Jiang Hai, as his brother, would definitely have to find a way to help him.

Even if he couldn't get the ticket himself, he had to find someone to get it for him. After all -

Our brother’s lifelong event cannot be delayed!

But, not only do you want the tickets for yourself, you also want to bring the goddess’ boyfriend along?
What is going on?
When they use the small umbrella orz-7 (hey hey hey) that you bought, it makes you feel more involved, right?
"Get lost, I don't have it!" Jiang Hai rejected the fat man's request without hesitation, and his attitude was very tough, "Even if I have it, I won't give it to you."

"I hate licking dogs the most in my life."

On the way from school to Chenghai Grand Theater, Jiang Hai passed by several bookstores and newsstands located near the school in the city center.

In the car, he saw several high school students holding several copies of the "Youth Preface" magazine which contained the serial "Dragon Tribe II: Eyes of the Mourner".

As if they couldn't accept this inhumane ending, these high school students broke down in front of the newsstand and almost burst into tears:

"So Xia Mi didn't come back to life in the end, right???"

"So Chen Motong finally married Caesar, right? "

"What should Lu Mingfei do?" "What should Chu Zihang do???"

"Damn it, you Jiangnan bastard, you really deserve to die!!!"

The ending of "Ryuji" was too tragic. As if they could not control their emotions at all, these high school students, who were mentally broken, tore the "Youth Preface" in their hands to pieces on the spot. They even tore it up while crying and cursing at the top of their lungs:

"Jiangnan, you deserve to die!"

"The review editors of the magazine, you deserve to die too!!!"

"Don't think I don't know. The reason why Gou Za Sui Jiang Nan dared to write like this is inseparable from the tacit approval of your magazine."

I have to admit that when Xia Mi's life was ended by her beloved Chu Zihang, and when Chen Motong, the senior sister who symbolized the bad boy Bai Yueguang, agreed to marry Caesar, these adolescent boys' fantasies and filters about the beautiful opposite sex -

It broke directly!

so.
Love always ends in tragedy, right?
so.
In the end, love is still unrequited, right?
When I saw these adolescents’ filters of beautiful love shattered, when they were heartbroken and shouted out in unison:

"Jiangnan, you should have been strangled to death in your mother's womb since birth!"

"Youth Foreword, a black-hearted magazine like you should die with Jiangnan."

When you witness this scene with your own eyes.

Jiang Hai felt a little nervous and subconsciously sent a message to Editor-in-Chief Mo:
"Can you still stand it?"

Youth Foreword Magazine.

Editor-in-Chief's Office.

Ever since the latest issue of the magazine went on sale, Chief Editor Mo's daily work can only be described as overwhelming.

Do you think the sales of the magazine’s journals have increased?
Sales volume has definitely gone up!

However, the negative impact that comes with it can be described as unbearable!

Every day, there are insane readers from all over the country who send some weird and even disgusting things to the magazine!
At the beginning, there were all kinds of kitchen knives and blades. Can we consider these things as a threat?
However, when Editor-in-Chief Mo opened a package and found that it contained some animal feces,
Editor-in-Chief Mo admitted that he really couldn't hold it in any longer!
“Really sending shit???”

This type of operation can be said to be not very harmful but extremely insulting.

Editor-in-Chief Mo suffers from a huge psychological trauma.

He immediately ordered his subordinates:
"During this period, please suspend all interactions with readers and do not accept any unsolicited express deliveries."

To prevent the tragedy of the magazine office doorplate being splashed with paint from happening again.

Editor-in-Chief Mo specially installed three more cameras around the magazine office, and even recently hired three more security guards for the building. Through the cameras, he saw some young people around the building holding unspeakable liquids and ready to move.

He immediately shouted to the security guard downstairs through the intercom:

"Tell Chris to close the door."

"Tell Chris to close the iron gate downstairs and don't let them come up."

Editor-in-Chief Mo just shouted these words to the security guard.

The next moment, he received a message from Jiang Hai:
[Can you still hold on? ]

Even though the current situation was indeed extremely difficult, thinking back to his original promise to Jiang Hai, Editor-in-Chief Mo gritted his teeth and immediately sent a message to Jiang Hai:
【I can handle it! 】

Although the words are brief, the literal meaning is expressed very clearly.

When Jiang Hai received the reply from Chief Editor Mo that he could handle it, he was immediately relieved while sitting in the car:

“Just be able to handle it”

Jiang Hai was holding his phone, thinking about how to comfort Editor Mo, but he didn't even have time to edit the text message.

A very sharp voice suddenly rang in my ears:

"What kind of book is this that you are selling at the newsstand!!!"

Jiang Hai looked in the direction where the sound came from.

I saw a middle-aged woman with a very fierce appearance. She threw a magazine called "Feng Hui" in her hand in front of the newsstand and book stall. Then she pointed at the boss with one hand, put her other hand on her waist, and cursed in a very fierce tone:
"Old ghost, what kind of crappy magazine are you selling? It scared our Zi Han to tears."

The newsstand owner tried to explain to the middle-aged woman:
"I just sell magazines, not write for them. What does it have to do with me if your daughter is scared and cries after reading a magazine?"

"If you want to cause trouble, you should go find the magazine that published the book."

But the middle-aged woman didn't want to listen to the newsstand owner's explanation at all. She immediately shouted at the owner in an unreasonable manner:

"I don't understand what you're saying. Anyway, the book you sold scared our Zi Han to tears, so you have to take responsibility!"

"You have to pay the money."

Jiang Hai was sitting in the car and saw this scene. He sighed and his words were full of helplessness:
"Sure enough, the trouble-making parents finally showed up."

Vehicles are driving fast on the road.

Passing by the mall.

Jiang Hai saw the Mercedes-Benz 4S store used for the auto show, and the Maybach slogan had been changed to:
[Destined to break through the Nibelung, destined to break through the torrent of time, destined to break through the shackles of fate! ]

[Dear Mercedes owner, let Maybach follow you to fight against Odin, the father of the gods]

Northwest Shanxi is in chaos, and Mercedes-Benz wants to get involved?
When I saw the Maybach slogan.

A feeling of powerlessness suddenly arose from my heart.

The development of the situation had obviously long exceeded his expectations, and it was all completely beyond his control.

Jiang Hai took out a cigarette from his pocket and lit it silently:
"Since you can't refuse, just enjoy it."

"Let the bullets fly for a while."

About half an hour passed.

Jiang Hai took a bus from the school to the Chenghai Grand Theater in the city center.

Jiang Hai got off the car and looked around, and found that most of the people who came to watch the first performance of the drama "Butterfly Lovers" were young, beautiful and well-dressed young couples.

He had just gotten off the car and taken a few steps when he saw the graceful Xiao Linyu standing at the entrance of the theater, waving at him:
"Jiang Hai, we are here."
