Chapter 4 Su Xuanmian, who reined in his horse on the cliff
Bookstores in the island country sell three kinds of things at the same time. The first is books. This is natural. If you don’t sell books, what else can you sell?
Well... I feel that it is not accurate to say this. It is just like actors don’t necessarily sell acting skills now, restaurants don’t necessarily sell taste, and bookstores don’t have an absolute connection with selling books.
Back to the topic, the island country bookstore sells books first, the second, the second, the third, the third, the AV.
There is no mistake, these three things are sold in bookstores.
Me, Su Xuanmian, a cultural person, would I go to see something as insulting as AV?
"But there is no way, I can't control myself from sending a few."
Su Xuanmian felt a force of majeure and an indescribable magical force, and pushed him to the AV shelf.
The flowers fell helplessly, and the swallows returned as if familiar, and Su Xuanmian had to take a look.
After reading it for more than ten minutes... Well, it was thirty minutes longer than ten minutes. Su Xuanmian slapped his head and thought of the serious things about coming to the bookstore.
I communicated with the clerk in Japanese and originally wanted the clerk to recommend the most popular books at present, but then the clerk told him directly that there was a sales list for the first half of the year in the store.
Su Xuanmian walked over and glanced.
[Sales list from January 7, 2018 to July 6, 2018 is as follows:
The first place "Shark", sold 350,000 copies
The second place is "Orphan", 330,000 copies sold
...】
There are several stacks of "Shark" and "Lonely". The shark book is just a name, but I really don't know what it is written in Su Xuanmian.
[The ferocious great white shark has been swimming all his life. Only when he swam continuously, blood flows in his blood vessels. Stop means hypoxia, sinking, and death. Yuwu Youqi's father once hunted a seriously injured white shark. He was regarded as a hero by the village, while Yuwu Youqi is a shark-like person, smelling the smell of blood...]
"Okay, I found that I was wrong. After reading the introduction, I don't know what it was about. This is a suspense novel?" Su Xuanmian guessed.
When you look at the author's name - Dahou Xia, Su Xuanmian will understand it, and the great god willful.
From the original memory, I learned that Dahou Xia is the most famous writer in the island country, and his novels are mostly entangled by men and women today.
As the saying goes, writers with a little bit of strong writing like to sarcastically sarcastically in society to show their uniqueness. However, Xia, the Great Old Sutra has extremely strong writing skills, and the content is not called satire, but ridicule.
The protagonist of "Shark", Yuya Yusu, is a prodigal son, in our words, and a cruel man who likes to fight. The whole book is his three love stories.
"Sharks don't like to eat people. He attacks humans just to bite and taste the taste, but this bite is fatal to humans." Su Xuanmian said it as if it makes sense.
So not long ago, a person who fell into the water was surrounded by a group of great white sharks and was then bitten to death.
If you can understand the language of Great White Sharks, can you hear: "Not delicious", "Not delicious", "This thing is not delicious", "I don't believe it, I'll take a bite", "It's really not delicious"...
After reading the book, Su Xuanmian summarized one thing: If "Shark" was written by Chinese, then the protagonist's name should be XXX.
Simply put, Chinese people prefer to give meaning to their names, while island countries prefer to give meaning to their surnames.
For example, the fish house is a typical functional surname. The ancestors must have slaughtered fish and bought fish. The surname means that the protagonist will be confused with the shark in his life.
In terms of naming, there is no difference between the two.
But it is not understandable that the island people prefer fatalism and believe that family blood can determine everything. For specific reference, Luffy, Naruto, and Ichigo.
The Chinese people value man more in seizing nature.
Su Xuanmian left behind all kinds of thoughts and looked down again. The top ten sales list are all RB domestic books, and few foreign novels can reach RB's book sales list.
Among them, eight are love novels.
Of course, love is also divided into categories, such as romance, pure love, misogyny or ethics, etc. The second-place "Orphan" is a misogyny.
"Yes, it's very good and powerful." Su Xuanmian nodded silently.
The two other than the eight books are "Paradise Lost" and "Thousand Crane", which is rightly the works of Junichi Watanabe and Yasunari Kawabata.
I don't know if this world called Blue Star is because the butterfly flapped its wings and left it without a subject of reasoning, but many well-known figures on Earth also coincide.
Speaking of which, "Paradise Lost" only looks at the plot, which is the extramarital affair between Rinko Matsuhara and Yoichiro Kuki. One is a married woman and the other is a married woman. In the end, the two of them died in love.
Thousands of cranes are even worse, and the deformed love between two generations.
Su Xuanmian did not count these two novels as romance novels, not because of his literary nature, but the theme.
Romance novels can contain many things, but the theme must be love. "Paradise Lost" and "Thousand Cranes" are just writing other things through the skin of love.
The former is RB's view of marriage and family, while the latter shows the island country's culture of arrogance to the extreme.
Su Xuanmian stopped at the cliff. He pondered seriously that the current island book market is a novel without any love elements. It is quite difficult to break through the siege.
"I was really a little bit floating after traveling through time. I didn't even know how to do the most basic market research. Sales in the previous year were really in vain." Su Xuanmian put the two books Qianzhe and Paradise Lost in the basket.
"Xuan Mian, I didn't expect to meet you in the bookstore." As Su Xuanmian turned around, a familiar middle-aged man's voice sounded in his ears.
"Uncle Zhao is such a coincidence." Su Xuanmian turned around and said hello.
The middle-aged man, who is called Uncle Zhao by Su Xuanmian, is the college boy's shoes of the original owner's mother. He has been working in Osaka for seven or eight years.
Studying in a foreign country, parents will definitely seek help from relatives. If they don’t have relatives, they are good friends. Uncle Zhao is the one who introduced the original owner to the original owner by his mother.
"It's been a long time since I've been to Uncle Zhao's house for dinner. I have time to come here to have dinner." Uncle Zhao said.
Su Xuanmian nodded: "I know Uncle Zhao."
"I have something to do, so I won't talk about it now." Uncle Zhao was in a hurry and was indeed busy.
"Uncle Zhao pays attention to safety on the road."
Su Xuanmian watched Uncle Zhao leave, then walked in the bookstore for a while, then bought two books, took the bus, and returned to the apartment.
As for why you don’t take a taxi, you should know that in an island country, those who can take a taxi for more than one kilometer are all rich.
Taxis in the island country are the second most expensive in the world. It is normal to charge you for 70 or 80 for two kilometers. Although Su Xuanmian has a good monthly living expenses, he is not a waste person.
"Hey, Sister Yan, I have some things to deal with in the island country, so I will be back one or two weeks later."
"No, I haven't seen each other for several months. I must have missed Sister Yan, but I really have to deal with it."
"It's okay to have enough money."
"Don't work too hard. Don't review the manuscript too late. You should pay attention to rest. You have more than a dozen editors under your command, so you won't get paid for it in vain."
On the way, Su Xuanmian called his mother Hui Yan, and his tone was based on the original owner's memory.
Since he occupied the body, Su Xuanmian felt that he should fulfill his corresponding obligations.
Also, it is impossible to reveal the truth. As for the original owner and his mother, they call him Sister Yan, which makes Su Xuanmian envious of the person whose memory of his own mother has blurred.
When I got home, my roommate was not here.
The method to determine whether this good roommate is present is very simple. If you are there, the wooden sign on the door is a cat pattern on the front, and the tiger pattern on the back when the person goes out, and the tiger pattern currently hanging.
Su Xuanmian placed his txt document "No one survived" in the U disk and placed it underneath, that is, put it in the suitcase. This book was released as the second or third book, and then it completely established the orthodox reasoning.
Su Xuanmian, who made up his mind, looked at the mystery novel that combines love and world-absorbed culture.
