In Shanghai, the bookstore on the first floor of Huiwen Building is crowded with people. It is said that another batch of hardcover editions of "Ten Little Indian Boys" have been released.
Many people have already bought it, but they still can't help but want to buy one. A book doesn't cost much, and if you buy more, you can give it to friends.
But if you are lucky, you might be able to buy a hardcover edition and get a postcard signed by the author.
It is also said that some of these postcards not only have a signature, but also a message handwritten by the author.
Someone has already posted the photos online, and the official website of Provoking Literature has confirmed the incident.
If the autograph of the fifth grader only makes people a little excited, then this handwritten message can make people crazy.
Now a handwritten message has been sold for more than 20,000 yuan.
Things are rare and valuable. Although as more and more such cards become available, they can no longer be sold for more than 20,000 yuan, but they still have collection value.
Huiwen Building is a high-end comprehensive office building that houses many large companies. One of the most famous is Huayi Entertainment Co., Ltd.
As an entertainment company, Huayi is well-known in the entertainment industry. The company owns movie queens like Zhang Yi and Zhou Xuan, as well as traffic niches like Cai Lifu.
Wen Jinjiang looked at the lively scene in the bookstore downstairs and asked the assistant next to him doubtfully, "What's going on over there?"
The assistant seemed to have known the situation for a long time, and explained with a smile, "It seems that another batch of hardcover editions of "Ten Little Indian Boys" have been released. These people are trying their luck."
"Oh?" Wen Jinjiang said with great interest, "Is the "Ten Little Indian Boys" you mentioned a book?"
The assistant nodded and said, "Well, it's a new book about fifth-grade vegetative subjects, but it has been serialized online a long time ago, and the physical version was released a few days ago."
Wen Jinjiang, a fifth-grade vegetative, has heard of this name. It seems that the script of the very popular sketch "Chameleon" some time ago was derived from his short story.
Does it turn out that he also has novels?
Looking at the crazy crowd in front of him, the name Fifth Grade Vegetative Person left a deep impression on Wen Jinjiang's mind.
"Assistant Xiao, could you please buy me a copy? I've become interested in this book." Wen Jinjiang suddenly said as he was about to reach the door.
Assistant Xiao raised his eyebrows in surprise, and then said to Wen Jinjiang, "Director Wen, if you want to read it, I happen to have more there. I'll just give you a copy later."
Wen Jinjiang nodded, "Thank you very much."
In fact, Xiao Can also bought several copies of "Ten Little Indian Boys" just to win the hardcover version. Unfortunately, he was unlucky and did not become one of the thousand lucky ones.
In the past two days, he had been worrying about who to give to the many books he had in hand. Now that Wen Jinjiang wanted to read them, he could just take out one and give it to him.
They returned to the company from outside. After returning, Xiao Can took a copy of "Ten Little Indian Boys" and gave it to Wen Jinjiang.
Wen Jinjiang is less than 60 years old this year. He is a representative of the fifth generation of Chinese directors. His career as a director has been very smooth. After graduating from the directing department of Yanjing Film Academy, his first film "In the Woods" as a director won the award.
After winning the China Outstanding Director Award, he started a normal life.
Although he hasn't made many movies, basically one movie every five years, he has made one movie after another, and he has never encountered a Waterloo so far.
Among the fifth generation of Chinese directors, he is not only the director with the lowest output, but also the director with the most stable quality.
However, in recent years, he has not acted as a director himself. He occasionally works as a producer and runs around in the company's projects when he has nothing to do.
Huayi Entertainment has his shares, so he doesn't have to think about making money from movies.
Asking Xiao Can to buy him a book today was also a whim.
The last "Chameleon" skit left some impression on him, and coupled with the scene of snatching books he witnessed this time, he couldn't help but have a slight interest in this fifth-grade vegetative person whom he had never heard of before.
"Ten Little Indian Boys" doesn't tell much from the name, but he is not in a hurry. His semi-retired life gives him a lot more leisure time than when he was young. He has enough time to read this book.
.
After reading this, Wen Jinjiang never put down the book. It wasn't until he read the judge's confession letter on the last page that he slapped his head and sighed, "So that's it!"
Wen Jinjiang even put himself in the position of a judge. After thinking about it for a long time, it seemed that if he were like him, he would not be willing to let the truth disappear like this. Maybe he would also show off the answer with the same intention as him.
Tell the world.
The most exciting thing about this book is not the development of the case. The reasoning about the murder is not eye-catching, but the portrayal of human nature and psychology made Wu Yuning amazed.
Perverted, weird, sinful, kind... everyone is different, but everyone is lifelike.
The author seems to be particularly good at grasping the hearts of the readers. In addition to the hearts of the characters in the book, he is also good at grasping the hearts of the readers.
Often at seemingly calm moments, there seems to be a special force between the lines that can pull the person reading this book into the book, and at the next moment, a heavy punch hits the chest, making people breathless.
Wen Jinjiang felt that when he was reading this book just now, he seemed to have stopped breathing several times, at least for more than ten seconds.
Calm, restless, scared... Wu Yuning felt like he was dominated by words.
For a man in his fifties like Wen Jinjiang, this is obviously not an ordinary thing.
He thought of the book-robbing scene he had seen downstairs before. There was always a reason for the development of things. This book was obviously worthy of their actions.
He became more interested in this fifth-grade vegetative person. He could capture people's hearts and arouse emotions so easily. It must be that this author is not young.
If possible... He sat on the chair and thought for a while, then dialed the internal number to his assistant, "Assistant Xiao, could you please come in."
When Xiao Can entered the office, he immediately saw the book "Ten Little Indian Boys" that he had brought over before. Several hours later, it was still placed in front of the literary director. Could it be that during this period, he had been
Are you all reading this book?
"Director Literary, what are your instructions for calling me in?"
Wen Jinjiang patted the book in front of him and said, "I want to meet this fifth-grade vegetative person. Is it possible?"
Hearing Wen Jinjiang's words, Xiao Can looked embarrassed, "I'm afraid I have to ask Provoking Literature about this. After all, they are the only ones who know the true identity of the fifth-grade vegetative person."
(ps: I will go to Sanjiang tomorrow, everyone will vote)
