At the end of the press conference, Su Cheng immediately called Yang Jiezi.
"Professor Yang, I'm coming over now, is that okay?" The new book launch started at 8 am this morning, and it's already past 3 pm, a whole eight hours. During this time, Su Xianchen was probably the busiest one, his stomach growling with hunger, but in order to save time, he still took care of going to Professor Yang's house first, besides, what's there to fear about not having food at Professor Yang's house?
"Come over tomorrow, something minor came up on my end."
"Is there a problem? Does Professor Yang need my help?" Su Xichen asked.
"No need, originally it was expected to be done today, but one of them had a temporary issue, so it will be delayed for a day. But that's okay, little friend, you coming over tomorrow is also a nice surprise."
Not too big or small surprise? And what was said earlier about one of the temporary ones having a bit of an accident and being delayed for a day, what is the surprise after all? Still need to prepare.
"Alright, I'll come over tomorrow, it just so happens that today is the end of my new book's release event and I have a lot on my plate."
"I know that 'The Matrix' has recently caused a stir, and I think that only Chu Xing and Xiao You two can cause such a big stir when opening new books in the entire writer's circle. How about it? Does 'The Matrix' have confidence to surpass 'Ghost Blows Out the Light'? Yang Jie is actually also an old man who can keep up with the trend, otherwise, have you ever seen someone of his age and education reading web novels?"
"The Ghost Blows Out the Light" can be said to have started the tomb raiding genre and is revered as a classic in the field, but after "The Matrix" was released, it triggered a wave of collective commentary in the West. The media and newspapers analyzed the film from multiple angles, including the director's intentions, philosophical theories, religious combinations, and more, as if they wanted to study every line of dialogue in depth.
In terms of depth, Ghost Blows Out the Light is absolutely no match for The Matrix. So Su Lei's answer was: "I wanted to write something that would make people think after they finished reading it, I wanted to write a book with substance, so The Matrix was written under those circumstances."
"Little friend, you've made me even more expectant, remember to bring a set of books for me when you come tomorrow."
"That's for sure." Hung up the phone, don't go to Yang Jie's place, no need to rush around like this, first send Bai Yan and Liu Keke back safely, these two little loli haven't eaten yet, three people had a simple meal at a small restaurant near Yicheng Middle School.
Su Zhechen was still calm and quiet in the morning, eating with two little loli, but outside because of him it was a complete mess.
The struggle between the press conference of "The Matrix" and "2012" is a bit like the dialogue between Siddhartha Gautama and Jade Emperor.
It is said that another time, Tathagata and Jade Emperor were comparing who was more powerful.
Jade Emperor: I am the master of the three realms and control the heavenly way.
The Buddha said: Your daughter (the Weaving Maiden) has been slept with by a mortal.
Jade Emperor: I have gone through more than 10,000 kalpas.
The Buddha: Your niece (the Third Lotus Saint) has been slept with by a mortal man.
Jade Emperor: I...
Tathagata: Your sister (Yaoji) has been slept with by a mortal.
……
And now this scene is also very similar: The release conference of "The End of the World" has a relatively well-known reasoning expert, "The Matrix" has Sohu's Chen and "Sherlock Holmes".
"Apocalypse Earth" has suspenseful authors, "The Matrix" has Su Shi Chen and "Ghost Blows Out the Light".
The press conference of "Doomsday Earth" has a romantic writer, "The Matrix" still has Su Xianchen and "Journey to the West".
It's this kind of spirit that can hold its ground against all odds, it's a kind of pride that no matter how many famous people there are, with Su Shi and Chen Zi'ang we can still remain unmoved.
The next morning, almost all the newspapers' headlines coincidentally chose: "The Largest New Book Release in History", "The Matrix is Coming Strongly, Are You Ready?", "Ji Wen's Blood Recommendation, Subverting Your World View"…
Yesterday in Yangcheng, Mingming had two new book releases, but now it seems like only one is left. The news of "Apocalyptic Earth" has been completely overwhelmed by the wave of "The Matrix".
It turns out that at a new book launch event, it's best not to collide with Su Rui Chen.
"I said this original resident is a good young man, isn't his brain problematic? He actually held the new book launch on the same day as Su Xiechen's, that pervert. First of all, regardless of the quality of the two books, just this idea of wanting to compete with Su Xiechen for popularity is extremely unwise." Mo Xiaodi bought both Yuan Ju's "Apocalyptic Earth" and Su Xiechen's "Black Hacker Empire: Hacker Mission" from the bookstore at the same time.
"Challenging Su Ye-Chen himself is an unwise choice, as Su Ye-Chen's popularity among writers is second only to Chu Xing. In this situation, even if 'Apocalyptic Earth' really surpasses 'The Matrix: Hackers' Mission', the difference in popularity will make up for it, at least in terms of sales, it's hard to exceed, after all, the number of book fans between the two is too large."
Mo Xiao Di was a special commentator for a newspaper. She had some fame, and in the Kyoto Daily, a large newspaper, she had her own column, "Xiao Di's Book Reviews", where she wrote fair and honest reviews of new books she read, without being swayed by any particular reason. As a result, Mo Xiao Di had many fans, and some book lovers would even check out her reviews before buying new books.
Today Mo Xiaodi's task is to comment on the two most popular new books, such a hot book if not evaluated that would really make him feel uncomfortable.
New books were bought back home, the house was messy, banana peels, apple cores, snack bags or leftover bread could be seen everywhere, the house seemed like a garbage dump, and most importantly, beer bottles could be seen everywhere.
This doesn't look like a girl's home at all, it looks like the kind of messy and dirty place that a lazy otaku would live in. It completely contradicts Mo Xiaodi's youthful and beautiful image outside. But who says that a beauty's home must be clean and tidy?
As soon as Mo Xiaodi returned home, he seemed to have changed into a different person. His straight back suddenly slumped, and he trudged towards the refrigerator with his head down, opened it, took out a can of beer, and gulped it down.
"Hmm..." Mo Xiaodi let out a satisfied burp and seemed to have gained some spirit. Beer was like her spiritual food.
"Let's take a look at 'Post-Apocalyptic Earth' first. Actually, if it weren't for the hacker conference being too grand, the post-apocalyptic conference was also quite impressive, after all, they invited many industry insiders to recommend it. The original disk even called it a classic in the sci-fi genre, so I'll take a look and see if it can be considered a classic."
Opening "The End of the World", Mo Xiaodi read it slowly. She was very careful when reading books because she wasn't just a person reading for fun, after finishing the book, she had to write a review and be responsible for what she wrote.
The post-apocalyptic earth is probably talking about the nuclear war, the killing spread throughout the world, the order of the human world collapsed, and the law of the jungle became the first law. At this time, it was the end of the world. Once the shackles were lost, there was no way forward, only choose to go left or right, the left is hell and the right is also hell.
The earth is in such a state and another planet is approaching, waiting for the earth is only the end of the world.
Retreat is called desperate without hope, thorough apocalypse without dawn.
"The writing is sophisticated, and the portrayal of characters is particularly good, depicting the desperation and madness of humanity in the face of the apocalypse with great detail. This is a strong point as it has always been the author's forte, but what puzzles me is..."
Mo Xiao Di looked carefully at the "War between Earth and an alien planet, a lawless planet versus another planet with strict rules. Such a grand setting and this kind of ups and downs development seems familiar, I remember seeing it somewhere..."
Suddenly, Mo Xiao Di got up and rummaged through the study. Her family's study was different from others, where books were neatly placed on bookshelves one by one. In contrast, her home's study had piles of books stacked like a second-hand bookstore, which was quite spectacular.
After searching for half a day in the ruins, Mo Xiaodi found a book with a lot of dust on it. The title of the book was no longer visible. When he opened it and read for a while, he muttered to himself, "As expected, my feeling was right. The background setting of 'The End of the World' is exactly the same as this book."
The writing style being similar does not necessarily mean it is plagiarism. In fact, the settings of "End of the World" and this book are vastly different. Mo Xiaodi was talking about the method of setting up the background, the way the plot unfolds is fundamentally the same as one person's. And the author of the book in Mo Xiaodi's hand is Yuan Pan.
"So that's how it is, no wonder Yuan Ju was so confident in challenging Su Ruo Chen, that's what it was all about."
This "End of the World" is clearly written by two people, and the main writer must be Yu Ju, but this magnificent and grand background setting is definitely Yu Pan's handwriting, because Yu Ju doesn't have such ideas and momentum.
"Although Su Xingchen had not written science fiction before, I have always believed that the winner of this science fiction competition must be him, because Su Xingchen has created too many miracles. From suspense to science fiction, it seems like a huge leap, but this leap is nothing compared to his previous leaps."
"From turning to script, turning to comics, the span is even greater. The questioning voices were not very loud at that time, but each time they succeeded perfectly." Mo Xiaodi had already finished two cans of beer and went to the refrigerator to grab another one.
"Yuanju and Yuandian are together, this time against Su Shichen...” Mo Xiaodi's tone couldn't be discerned whether he was worried about Su Shichen or gloating. He had finished reading "The End of the World", and opened up "The Matrix: Hacker Mission".
The new book bought in the bookstore has a transparent plastic bag as packaging, and when it is torn open, a fragrance of books comes out. In fact, that's just the smell of ink from freshly printed books.
Picked up the book and prepared to lie on the sofa, drinking beer while reading, but just as I picked up the book, a small piece of paper fell out... (Please search for 5du5, updated faster!)
