722 Shining Shawshank (1/4)

Chapter 722 Shining Shawshank (14)

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

In fact, Murphy has always wanted to participate in her daughter's activities. However, many times, she can only watch Yang Yi go, and Guang 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, Murphy was very happy Telling stories in front of her daughter and her classmates, but at that time she was also pregnant for several months, so she could only decline.

In this parent-child activity held by Springfield Kindergarten, Murphy said that he would also go with him. Now that even Xixi is already a "big star", why should there be any scruples?

Yang Yi is rather 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 the story of his book is wonderful, and the fire is predictable. Even if it is not popular, his ultimate goal is not the book. If it is made into a movie in the future, there will naturally be a time when it will shine!

...

Mu Yucheng is lining up again!

"What are you going to buy today?"

"What else could it be? Yang Yi's new book is on the market today, of course, to buy his book! Don't you?"

"hey-hey……"

It was obviously a Monday when he had to go to work, but Mu Yucheng still took a half-day off, came to a shopping mall near his home early, and lined up in front of the Aidu Bookstore, waiting to buy Yang Yi's new book.

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

Standing in line at the door of the bookstore, although waiting is a chore, but 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, a die-hard fan, is also with Yourong. Yan.

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

It is said that when Yang Yi's two books "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 online writer. work.

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

The insider was a former employee of the promotion department of the "Book Bar" chain of big 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, but will actively cooperate with them. The Sahara Press cooperated 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 novella? "

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 look at 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?

But again, it's a prison!

Mu Yucheng couldn't help feeling his blood boil.

Could this be another prison break story?

Mu Yucheng feels that he really loves "Prison Break"! After Yang Yi, there are countless people on the Qiyue Chinese website who follow the trend and write stories similar to prison escapes, but none of them can write the stories wonderfully. 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"?

With such anticipation, Mu Yucheng looked on.

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 of 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 damn 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 very long, the plot progresses very quickly, the rhythm is tight, the ideas are rigorous, 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 it took, but it certainly didn't take long, Mu Yucheng was about to turn to the end, he saw Andy suddenly disappeared in the Shawshank Prison as if it evaporated from the air on the night when Fred thought he was going to commit suicide. When inside, Mu Yucheng was shocked!

Especially after seeing that the warden accidentally discovered the hole that Andy had dug for nearly 20 years, Mu Yucheng understood!

Or jailbreak!

Mu Yucheng was also convinced. Although he had a hunch when he saw that Andy and Frederic bought a small hammer in the book before, he saw everything that Andy actively did in Shawshank Prison. I don't think this guy can escape...

Unexpectedly, Andy's plan was so meticulous and long-term... 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 you think jailbreaking is tacky?

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

The final 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.

This kind of story 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 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!"

"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 expresses a deeper level of thought!"

"I agree with this! Look at the sentences in Da Yang, I really feel my scalp tingling!"

The book friend couldn't help but select and typed it out: "You know, some birds are destined not to be locked in a cage, and every feather of theirs shines with the brilliance of freedom!"

"Is there? 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 came to prison, you hated the walls around you; slowly, you got used to living in them; eventually you found yourself having to live by them. It's called Institutionalization."

"And this! Fear has made you a prisoner, and I hope you will be free. Wait, I remember there's a..."

"Yes, this 'I have also survived long lonely nights, 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 that there are many sentences in this book As beautiful as a poem!"

"My favorite is this sentence: The strong save themselves, and the saints cross 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 found that he was watching the development of the story, but he missed so many wonderful details!

"Lao Mu has finished reading it? 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!"

"Reading a good book several times won't get tired of it! Lao Mu, I'll be with you too, let's go!"

The movie "The Shawshank Redemption" is highly recommended. Of course, many book lovers should have seen it.
