After Harvey left, Pran closed the door and examined Harvey's new novel, the dark age, alone in his study. There is a novel outline of about 50000 words in the novel manuscript.
As a reader himself, he naturally doesn't want to be spoiled without reading the novel. He puts aside the outline of the novel and concentrates on reading the novel with more than 500000 words. This reading is from morning to night, as in the past, when he watched the novel the count of Monte Cristo and indulged in it. While reading, Pran realized that the dark age is a new type of novel, and its content is more wonderful and attractive than the count of Monte Cristo.
History of heroic Poetry
This is his first impression of the dark age. However, the content of the novel is completely fictional, with wonderful and compact plot, profound characterization, novel creativity and unheard of setting, and exquisite illustration of fighting plot. In his mind, he slowly unfolds a volume of grand epic, which greatly stimulates Pulan's desire to read.
"Soren, the Dark Lord, wakes up from the abyss and deceives irejan's Lord as a gifted master Ananta, casting 19 supreme rings. Soren secretly casts the supreme rings to control other rings. Soren's purpose is to rule the mainland, enslave the orcs and declare war on all races. Soren led the army to invade Elijah, the home of the elves
If the count of Monte Cristo is an innovation based on traditional literature, then the dark age is a complete heresy.
"What's missing... What's causing this strong sense of disobedience."
After reading it, Pran ponders hard and recalls every plot of the dark age. He wants to find out the difference between the dark age and traditional novels. He got up and picked up a traditional novel, the count of Monte Cristo, from his bookcase. He opened the three novels in front of him and read them page by page. His thoughts drifted away from the three novels, looking for their similarities and differences.
Before long, his keen sense of smell as a reviewer told him the biggest difference between the dark age and other novels.
"There is no thought belonging to the author in the dark age!" He stood up in horror, and quickly reread all the contents of the dark age.
"No wonder there is no clear main role, right! It is not that there is no thought belonging to the author! If there is no author's thought! Then literature can't be called literature. What's the difference between a novel without the author's thoughts and a disorderly arrangement of letters? "
"It's deeply hidden. The author's views on the novel and the characters are all reflected in the fierce collision of the plot. All this is the result of precise construction. The author acts as an objective identity and logically sorts all the clues to deduce the changes of the plot."
Pulan found out the reason why the dark age would give him a heroic poetic feeling. Every detail of the novel was carefully considered. For example, spider weaves its web, and the plot and details of the novel were constructed.
"How many days is it before the count of Monte Cristo is published?"
Pulan sighed sincerely that such novels have never appeared in history, but they are far less magnificent, complete and distinctive than the dark age. Moreover, those novels are usually written after years or even decades of precipitation by the author, such as grinding statues and exchanging the most exquisite works of art with the precipitation of time.
He has a strong premonition in his heart, which is also what the novel tells him. The dark age is far from being so simple, and such a precise structure of the novel can't be just for the content of 500000 words.
Five hundred thousand words, which is more than the first half of the count of Monte Cristo, is far from satisfying Pran.
Pran took out the outline manuscript of the dark age, which contains all the novels about the dark age conceived by Harvey.
Just as he thought, Harvey's 500000 character manuscript is just the tip of the iceberg in the outline of the dark age, in which all the development of the first half of the novel is planned in detail. There are no less than 100 characters with names and surnames, and dozens of them have specific settings.
It's not just the plot outline, including characters, geographical knowledge, culture and even the novel language system. All these make plann feel incredible. Has Harvey ever seen such a world? Otherwise, how can he write a novel with such authenticity.
The dark age is Harvey's reference to the novel of the Lord of the rings and the World of Warcraft. They are complementary to each other. They are the essence of a lot of time. After Harvey's screening, the quality of novels can not be said to be beyond the Lord of the rings, but it is rich and colorful.
The greatest lesson of the novel the count of Monte Cristo is to let him know how to identify the potential value of the novel.
The publishing house he founded is still on the tightrope stage. Only works with the same influence as the novel the count of Monte Cristo can help his publishing house out of the predicament. Pran has a hunch that the unique storytelling of the dark age will make the novel no less influential than the novel the count of Monte Cristo, The conditions are much better than the obscurity of the count of Monte Cristo when it was published.
He forced down his excitement and took a short rest. The next morning, he was awakened by his eagerness to try. He took the novel and outline of the dark age and returned to his own publishing house, a company with less than ten people. Before, he was basically responsible for the publication of count of Monte Cristo in Elroy.
The atmosphere of the company is gloomy. The staff are either looking at the documents or in a daze. Occasionally, the sound of turning books becomes the only news of the publishing house. Because there is nothing to do with the lack of work, the publishing house is not bankrupt because of the work related to the publication of count of Monte Cristo in Elroy. However, the publishing market of count of Monte Cristo is close to full, and there is nothing to do with them.
When he returned to his own publishing house this time, he was still full of energy. He pushed the door open and looked around the narrow open office. In a high and solemn tone, he announced: "inform all staff to go to the conference room before ten o'clock. This meeting is very important. It determines the survival of our publishing house... It should be said that how far we can jump in this opportunity, and all staff should not be absent."
The staff of the publishing house were speechless and surprised. It was the first time that they saw the energetic appearance of Pulan.
"Mr. Evelyn, do you know what happened to Mr. Pran? I left the company in a hurry yesterday. "
Evelyn, once a reviewer of Leonard press, looked at the newspaper and shook his head: "I don't know. You've heard what he said just now. Maybe he got a good contribution to the novel."
It was still a while before ten o'clock, and the staff were very excited to discuss it.
"It's a bit like Mr. Adrian's contribution?"
"What nonsense, Mr. Adrian is still shooting the phantom of count of Monte Cristo. I can look forward to that novel. It should be the same as several times before, I have a cooperation project with publishers outside the city."
"I haven't seen Mr. Pran like this before."
