Chapter 1070: Ten Deadly Sins
Wang Qian was struggling to deal with a customer who was difficult to deal with, and when he saw Zhang Zian coming downstairs, he hurriedly called him over to take over.
Zhang Zian waved his hand, "I have something to do, you can handle it yourself."
When passing by the cash register, Lu Yiyun picked up a stack of printing paper and said, "Mr. Store Manager, just take a look at the inventory quantity..."
Zhang Zian kept walking, "You look at it yourself, buy what you need to buy, and deal with what you need to deal with."
He walked quickly to the outside of the store and trotted towards the north. There used to be a newsstand that was open all year round. I don't know if it is still open now, after all, he hasn't bought a newspaper for a long time.
"Master, do you still have today's newspaper?"
After running there, although the newsstand was still there, all kinds of colorful magazines and comic periodicals were placed prominently outside, mainly for young women and primary and middle school students, and the number of newspapers was not much.
"What kind do you want?"
The old man at the newsstand who was flipping through a magazine asked.
When Zhang Zian mentioned the name of the newspaper, he thought that the newspaper with the largest circulation in the country must be here. Unexpectedly, the master shook his head and said, "No more, it's sold out."
"What? There's no one left?" Zhang Zian was disappointed and confirmed to the master. Do you think there is such a shortage of newspapers that are serious about current affairs? It stands to reason that apart from middle-aged and elderly people, few people watch it...
The old master said unhurriedly: "No! That newspaper is not easy to sell, and only two copies are bought in every day. They are all ordered by regular nearby old neighbors, and they will be gone when they are sold out."
Zhang Zian: "No wonder...then do you know where there are newspapers nearby?"
"I don't know about this, you can find someone else to find out." The master's eyes fell back to the magazine again, and the conversation ended.
Few people read newspapers these days. Newsstands can no longer be described as a sunset industry. It is already a setting sun industry. It is not so easy to find another newsstand. What’s more, even if you find one, they may be sold out. Read newspapers carefully. Timeliness, usually bought in the morning.
Standing on the street, Zhang Zian felt a little worried. He wanted to ask the customers for help through the official account, just like the last time he searched for fresh crucian carp to milk the female cat? Among the people who follow the official account, there are always one or two people who subscribe to that newspaper at home, right?
"What are you doing here? Are you connecting with the underground cat?"
Zhang Zian heard voices behind him, turned his head to see that no one was there, then lowered his gaze, and saw that it was Vladimir talking to him. It didn't know where it went to play again, and there were several pieces of dust on its face.
"What the hell is the underground meow? I wanted to buy a newspaper, but the newsstand was sold out." He complained before answering.
"Newspaper? Do you still read newspapers?"
Vladimir's contemptuous tone hurt him, but it was irrefutable, because he really didn't read newspapers.
Zhang Zian coughed dryly, and explained: "The main reason is that there is a very important content in a newspaper today, and I want to look for it."
"What's the content? The country has approved the establishment of the small animal protection law?" Vladimir asked curiously.
"No...not that fast, it's actually related to π."
Talking to the cat on the street was too eye-catching, so he took Vladimir to the shadow of the wall and briefly explained to it what happened just now.
"Oh, I see, you wait here."
Vladimir understood the reason, and immediately jumped up the wall and disappeared.
Within a few minutes, it jumped off the wall again with a newspaper in its mouth.
"Is this one?"
Zhang Zian took the newspaper from its mouth. Although there were a few more holes in the newspaper, it was indeed the newspaper from today.
"It's really helpful! Let's go back first, and we'll talk about it in detail when we go back."
He didn't ask about the origin of this newspaper in detail, and took Vladimir back to the pet shop. When he passed the cash register, he told Lu Yiyun, "I have something to do right now. If anyone comes to see me, just say I'm not here and go out."
Lu Yiyun nodded.
He whistled again, and Zhan Tian, who received the order, obediently lay down on the stairs, taking on the responsibility of guarding.
Entering the living room, he first asked π: "How is it, π? Has anything changed?"
"Zhizhi." π had long been fidgeting and shaking his head anxiously.
Zhang Zian spread the newspaper flat on the table, π leaned over to watch him read it together, and Vladimir also jumped onto the table.
His eyes scanned the content of the headlines on the front page line by line, and the more he read, the more he felt chilled. At the beginning of this article, he briefly reviewed the birth and development of Internet literature as a whole, and affirmed the influence of Internet literature. Turn around and list the top ten sins of online literature, such as excessive entertainment, empty themes, repetitive themes, vulgar content, similar details, serious follow-up, lack of criticism, and failure to establish correct values for young people, etc... and even mentioned The characteristics of each website are unclear and the quality of editing needs to be improved urgently.
What shocked him the most was that at the end of the article, several books were listed as key targets of criticism, one of which was a novel by π.
After reading it carefully, he quickly scanned it a second time, in case he missed anything, and then fell into deep thought.
In all fairness, the ten crimes criticized in the article are not entirely groundless. After all, flies do not bite seamless eggs. There are many people in the society who are quite critical of the vigorous development of Internet literature, and it is understandable to criticize it. A new thing never It takes time for the order to become standardized. But the problem is that the few books that the article focuses on, except for π's novels, are all written by long-established masters. How can π's novels He De be on par with others?
Besides, there are so many books on the website, and there are books that are more in line with these ten crimes, so why focus on π's novels? In π's novel, except for Richard who is suspected of vulgarity, the other characters, including Zhang Zian, are all Wei Guangzheng characters who are out of vulgar tastes, okay?
In short, the article takes π's novels as a target and criticizes them harshly, which is both strange and unconvincing.
π couldn't bear to look at half of it, so sad that he squatted in the corner and drew circles.
It has become clear by now that the reason why the recommended place was temporarily replaced with other books is probably because this article named and criticized π's novel.
This was difficult, the arm couldn't twist the thigh, not to mention that the thigh was like an elephant's leg, and it was impossible for his tiny arms to twist it.
Zhang Zian sighed, trying to find words to comfort π, but he couldn't find any suitable words after searching. Any book listed in such a national publication would have to be skinned.
Vladimir finished reading the article a little slower, raised a cat's paw and pressed it on the author's signature, and asked, "Who is this Zhu Jisheng?"
