House Dad’s Literary Life Chapter 722: Shining Shawshank (1/4)

Published:

On Monday, Yang Yi and Murphy went out together to participate in the parent-child activities held by Xixi’s kindergarten!

Murphy has always wanted to participate in her daughter’s activities. However, many times, she can only watch Yang Yi go, and she is envious from the back. Either because she had not been exposed by the media and worried that her identity would bring trouble to her daughter’s normal life; or because she was pregnant again, which caused many inconveniences, so she could only sigh.

In fact, Murphy received an invitation from a kindergarten last year, and wanted her to tell the children about her road to fame, just like the speech Yang Yi gave when Xixi was still in middle school. Fei was happy to tell stories in front of her daughter and her classmates, but at that time she was also several months pregnant and had to decline.

This parent-child activity held by Springfield Kindergarten, Murphy said that she should also go with it. Now that even Xixi is already a “big star”, how can there be any scruples?

Yang Yi is quite dashing. He has a new book released today, but he left everything to the Sahara Press, and he devotes himself to the production of handicrafts without caring at all.

Of course, Yang Yi knows that his book, the story is wonderful, the fire is predictable, even if it is not popular, his ultimate goal is not the book, and it will naturally shine when it is made into a movie in the future. !

Mu Yucheng is in line again!

“What are you buying today?”

“What else could it be? Yang Yi’s new book is on the market today. Of course, he bought his book! Don’t you?”

“Hey…”

Obviously it was Monday when he had to go to work, but Mu Yucheng took a half-day off and came to a shopping mall near his home early. There was a queue at the entrance of Aidu Bookstore, waiting to buy Yang Yi’s new book.

Actually, Mu Yucheng is also ill. He clearly ordered the book in advance online, but he still likes to queue at the bookstore. Maybe he had a good experience queuing up to buy a book last time, so he will try it again this time?

Although waiting in line at the door of the bookstore is a chore, Mu Yucheng likes this feeling. He can hear the whispered discussions of the readers before and after, and hear others praising Yang Yi. Mu Yucheng is a diehard fan too. with honor.

Then again, looking at this big bookstore now, Mu Yucheng remembered that under Yang Yi’s personal homepage, an insider posted a post.

Said that when Yang Yi’s “Soldier Assault” and “Bright Sword” were sold in physical form, big chain bookstores such as “Love Reading”, “Book Bar” and “Scholar Pavilion” did not look down on this newcomer. Works by web writers.

Later, “Soldier Assault” and “Bright Sword” both sold out of stock and became one of the bestsellers of the year. Naturally, these big chain bookstores regretted it!

The insider is a former employee of the promotion department of the “Book Bar” chain of large bookstores. He vividly described the sighing appearance of his department manager at that time.

Of course, these are things of the past!

Now, almost every book by Yang Yi can be squeezed into the bestseller list. He has become synonymous with quality and sales. The big chain bookstores that will not be able to get by with money will naturally no longer despise Yang Yi. Actively cooperate with Sahara Press to put Yang Yi’s book in the most conspicuous position!

Now Mu Yucheng walked into the Aidu Bookstore and picked up a new book by Yang Yi from the mountain of books built in the large open space in the main entrance. He felt a sense of pride in his heart.

“However, why is this book so thin?” Mu Yucheng squeezed to remove the thickness of the cover, which is probably only a hundred pages of hardcover books, and was a little muttered, “The Shawshank Redemption… This is a book in A novel?”

After paying the order at the front desk, Mu Yucheng, like last time, found a coffee shop, took off the plastic film, and couldn’t wait to read it.

“I guess every provincial and national prison in China has a number one person like me…”

Seeing the opening chapter, Mu Yucheng was dumbfounded. How could it be a first-person narrative?

However, it’s prison again!

Mu Yucheng couldn’t help feeling his blood boil.

Is this another prison break story?

Mu Yucheng feels that he really loves “Prison Break”! After Yang Yi, there were countless people on the Qiyue Chinese website who followed the trend and wrote stories similar to prison escapes, but none of them were able to write the stories wonderfully. Mu Yucheng felt that Yang Yi’s pearls were ahead, and other people’s works… I really can’t stand it!

Will “The Shawshank Redemption” be Yang Yi’s new work on prison? Can it surpass the classic “Prison Break”?

Mu Yucheng watched it with such anticipation.

The Shawshank Redemption, the name, at first made Mu Yucheng feel that Shawshank should be referring to the protagonist’s name, but after a while, he was at a loss.

The protagonist in the first person is named Fred, and he said that the real protagonist of the story told in the book is Andy… The name of the **** prison is Shawshank!

Why is the title of the book… The Shawshank Redemption? Not Andy’s redemption, or Fred’s redemption?

Mu Yucheng read this book very quickly.

Yes, although he did read it very carefully, but unfortunately the book is not large, the plot progresses quickly, the rhythm is tight, the idea is tight, and there is no watering!

When Yang Yi rewrote this book, a story that he liked very much in his previous life, he combined the original book and the movie, and the content was slightly increased, but it was still within a reasonable range.

I don’t know how long I watched it, but it certainly didn’t take long. Mu Yucheng was about to turn to the end. He saw Andy on the night when Fred thought he was going to commit suicide, he suddenly seemed to evaporate in the air and disappeared in the When he was in Shawshank Prison, Mu Yucheng was shocked!

Especially after seeing that the warden accidentally discovered the hole that Andy had dug for nearly twenty years, Mu Yucheng understood!

It’s still a jailbreak!

Mu Yucheng was also convinced. Although he had a hunch when he saw that Andy and Frederick bought a small hammer in the book before, he saw that Andy was actively doing it in Shawshank Prison. I feel that this person will not escape from prison…

I didn’t expect Andy to have such a meticulous and long-term plan… Mu Yucheng vaguely understood why Yang Yi used Fried’s perspective to describe the whole story.

Only in this way can the suddenness and unexpectedness of things be fully reflected! If the readers knew everything from God’s perspective, the story might be cheesy!

Wait, why do I feel like a jailbreak is tacky?

Mu Yucheng was shocked. He realized that he had unknowingly replaced this inconspicuous novel with “Prison Break” in his mind.

The last story of “The Shawshank Redemption” still holds Mu Yucheng’s heartstrings, but what Mu Yucheng remembers more deeply at this moment is Andy’s escape!

After Mu Yucheng closed the book, he breathed a long sigh of relief. Although there was a lot of reluctance, after reading such a book, Mu Yucheng felt a sense of satisfaction after the high tide.

A story like this is like a mole in my heart, it can’t be removed, it’s stuck there, and it’s like a pot of fragrant strong tea, which makes people unforgettable!

Mu Yucheng couldn’t help but turned on his mobile phone and found the group of book friends to see how they felt after reading the book.

In order to avoid spoilers, someone set up a small discussion group for chatting after reading. After Mu Yucheng joined in, he saw a group of people shouting excitedly.

“A work of conferred gods, an absolute work of conferred gods! When Yang Yida’s book comes out, I’m afraid no one in the literary world will dare to question his status again!”

“Xiong Di, have you eaten Yang Yida’s “Walking in the White Night” and “The Grocery Store”? There are also “Soldier Assault”, “Bright Sword”, etc. Aren’t those books also conferred gods? ?”

“It’s not the same, I think The Shawshank Redemption has a higher depth of thought!”

“I agree with this! Look at the sentences in Da Yang, I really feel my scalp go numb!”

The book friend couldn’t help but pick and type it out: “You know, some birds are not destined to be caged, and every feather of theirs shines with the brilliance of freedom!”

“Is there any? Seeing this sentence, I feel like I want to jump from a dozen floors, I want to fly, I want to be free!”

“Haha, there’s a crazy one upstairs!”

“I also have this: These walls are interesting. When you first went to prison, you hated the high walls around you; slowly, you got used to living in them; eventually you found yourself having to live by them~ IndoMTL.com~ It’s called institutionalization.”

“And this! Fear has made you a prisoner, and I hope you’ll be free. Wait, I remember one more…”

“Yes, this ‘I have also survived a long night of loneliness, thinking about things in my heart alone, time slows like a knife, it was the longest night in my life’, after reading this book, I feel this book Many sentences in the book are as beautiful as the poems!”

“My favorite is this sentence: The strong save themselves, and the saints save others! Damn, when I saw this sentence, I wanted to copy it and use it as the motto of my life!”

Looking at their chat, Mu Yucheng suddenly realized that he was watching the development of the story, but he missed so many wonderful details!

“Lao Mu has finished reading it too? Hurry up and tell me what you think!” Someone was calling him.

“I’ve finished reading it, but I still don’t think it’s enough!” Mu Yucheng replied with emotion, “After reading what you guys talked about, I think I have to read it again!”

“You can read a good book several times before getting tired of it! Lao Mu, I’ll be with you, too!”
