Chapter 3

Fantasy stories are not popular recently?

Wang Jian continued to search on the list.

All of a sudden, he found a suspected fantasy novel, "dragon gun chronicle.".

Ranked 19th on the best seller list.

Hobbit, the Lord of the rings, etc. also ranked in the top 100 best sellers.

But the key to the problem is that there are no fantasy novels written in recent years?

Is it that the taste of readers has changed recently and the new book can't be published?

Or is it true that no author is willing to write fantasy novels recently?

Wang Jian is a little worried. Does "I am the great mage" conform to the taste of contemporary Americans?

Most importantly, can you make money?

At this time, a sound of opening the door came.

Al came out and asked Wang Jian, "Hey, Wang, have you found a job?"

When he looked back, he saw Al looking at himself with a bleary face, and some of his pigtails were stubbornly cocked up.

"Oh, forget it." Wang Jian was a little distressed and said, "the old white man wanted to find an African American waiter. I was brushed off as soon as I met him."

"Ah? African American At first, AI ER was stunned. Then he suddenly realized, "you mean, he wants to find nigger?"

"I probably know what he thinks."

"But it's really hard for you yellow people to find a job in a place where they don't live," Al said. Those books are so arrogant that no one likes them. "

"But I'm Chinese!" Wang Jian said helplessly, "I'm not a book."

"Well, for most white people, you're no different."

Al sneered and said, "I'm still of Nigerian origin. The opposite is of Cameroonian origin, but we're all Nigers."

"In the United States, only white people have the right to be Irish or German." Al continued: "it's really no good. Just go with me and get along with the boss. How much money can I make at work?"

"Well, I'll think about it again." Wang Jian replied.

Gangster?

You're kidding!

Genes from the deep of his blood prevented Wang from going that way.

Unless he is really poor and can't afford to eat, he won't even think about it.

Al shrugged and said, "it's up to you, but we're going to pay the rent again."

Then he went to the bathroom.

Wang Jian scratched his head hard, feeling very powerless.

Trapped in the Bronx and unable to find a job.

Sure enough, the most painful thing for people is to wake up and have no way to go?

Now, give yourself a chance to be a factory dog.

But Laomei's manufacturing industry has been completely destroyed by the book.

Most of the remaining profitable industries also need considerable professional knowledge.

Even white people are out of work, not to mention themselves?

"Go to the bookstore tomorrow and see what the most popular books are like now." Wang Jian thought to himself.

After a while, Al changed his clothes, said hello to Wang Jian, and went out to hang out with his boss.

Wang Jian turned on the light and slowly copied down the book I am the great mage in his mind with Chinese characters.

Soon it was dark outside.

From time to time, men and women exclaimed, and occasionally came a few shots.

Bronx district as in the past, as always, awesome.

The next day.

The warm sunshine on Wang Jian's body made him wake up suddenly.

Last night, I wrote all night?

Looking at the thick paper on the table, Wang Jian rubbed his eyes and was in a state of confusion.

Soon, he recalled going to the bookstore today.

So, after washing, eat something casually, and then walk out of the house.

In the Bronx, it's easier to find a leaf or a pistol than a bookstore.

According to Wang Jian, the nearest bookstores are all on the edge of the Bronx.

Although it belongs to the Bronx, it is a bit close to Brooklyn, which is similar to a paradise.

There are many rich hippies living there.

They advocate being different and call it art.

Well, maybe there are some artists who are not talented enough, but most of them are a group of innovative artists.

However, because there are a lot of rich people in it, the public security is not bad.

In addition to the proliferation of drugs, violent crime is far lower than other places in the Bronx.

Wang Jian came here by bus and found that the painting style here was different from that in other places.

has lost a number of black brother with a gang headscarf and tattooed knives and guns, but rather a lot of young people wearing black eye shadow and black fur coats.

What's the name of this style?Yeah, punk.

Wang Jian looked at a white girl who had just passed by with a ring on her nose and felt a toothache.

It's all free time!

Fortunately, on the corner of the street, there is a bookstore.

It's just that there is a big difference between the renovation and the bookstore in Wang Jian's mind.

Outside the bookstore, there is a big bat shape. In front of the bat, there is a masked spider man distributing leaflets.

Before Wang Jian entered the bookstore, he saw a long line of people outside.

Most of them were pale boys with glasses, half black and half white.

He grabbed a boy and asked, "Hey, bro, what are you doing here?"

The white fat man, who was obviously pale, looked at Wang Jian in surprise and said, "don't you know? Spiderman's latest book is coming out today

"Spider man?" Wang Jiansong opened his hand and thought silently, "is spider man so popular? I think it's much more popular than "Aquaman."

When he walked into the bookstore, he found that the bookstore was divided into two parts.

In the inner small space, there are mainly some books, including but not limited to those on the best seller list last night.

But there were only a few people in it.

I don't know if it's because I came too early, or if these books really don't have a big market here.

And outside, the larger space is mainly selling some comics, as well as comics around.

Now there are a lot of people lining up to check out.

Most of these people have hardcover versions of spider man and Spiderman dolls in their hands.

Wang Jian first walked into the best seller's side and picked up the fantasy novels like the chronicle of the Dragon spear, the dark elves and the Lord of the rings.

Then he found a stool and looked at it.

After gritting his teeth for half an hour, he stood up faintly.

It is undeniable that these novels have beautiful writing style, grand background and profound significance.

But

Wang Jian still can't see it.

It's just a novel. We're here to relax our nerves and relieve the pressure.

You have so many complicated settings, so many protagonists

Tired or not!

If I want to see serious literature, can't I see Wuthering Heights and Notre Dame?

The count of Monte Cristo is better than these books.

Is there something wrong with your own aesthetics?

Wang Jian looked up at the readers. Many of them were women, and someone was looking at a collection of poems.

Well

He felt that no matter what age, the people who went to see the poetry collection were in absolute minority.

These people should not represent the public aesthetic.

So Wang Jian raised his head and looked to the other side of the bookstore.

Why don't you check out the latest version of spider man?
