Chapter 317 American Storytelling (33)

Of course, Zhang Zhong couldn't read all of the [-]-word draft. He roughly glanced at the outline to understand their revision ideas, and then picked up the first few paragraphs to read.

Not bad, this is Zhang Zhong's evaluation.

This kind of storytelling-style manuscript should be as uncomplicated as possible in terms of language, so that the listener can understand it.

This, Parker and the others did it.

After reading these, Zhang focused on turning on the audio.

I have to say that Parker is still very talented in storytelling. Although Zhang Zhong didn't finish listening to this audio, but the first part was cadenced, he rushed when he should rush, and stayed when he should stay. Overall, he did a good job.

Zhang Zhong did not return the call, but sent an email: Very good.

Parker sat on the sofa and kept rubbing his hands. He felt like an elementary school student who had handed in his homework and was waiting for the teacher to correct him.

Li sat on the side, also a little nervous.

Before, he could console Parker from the perspective of a bystander, but this time was different, because he participated in the outline and revision of the story, and he also had his share in this assignment.

From a bystander to an authority, he also became nervous.

"Li, why don't you comfort me like last time?" Parker glanced at Li and said.

Li curled his lips, "I'm so nervous myself."

"Li, what do you say if pz is not satisfied with our revisions, or even thinks our revisions offend his works?" Parker said worriedly.

Li scratched his head, "I think he can understand, after all, not everyone is pz."

"Although it is said so, not everyone is as overconfident as we are." Parker said.

Ding dong.

The laptop on the desk beeped.

"Here we come, Lee, here comes pz's mail."

"Quick, open it and see what he said."

"Okay... Check where the mail is..."

"Fool, here, you can't even check your email?"

"Opened...he said, very good?"

"It should be. Do you want to look up the dictionary to determine the meaning of these two words?"

……

Audible is the largest audiobook software in the United States. Unlike literary websites, Audible has almost monopolized the audiobook market in the United States. It not only has the most complete audiobook resources in the world, but also has countless reading lovers.

Parker had registered as a member on this software before. Originally, his identity was just a simple listener, but now his identity has changed, and he has become a "reader".

Subsequently, he released an audio work on Audible called "The Complete Works of Dune".

Only the first audio is released for now.

……

Peak has been on Audible all year round. He likes to listen to books because he thinks it won't hurt his eyes.In his cognition, the ears must get better the more you use them, but the more you use your eyes, the worse they get.

He saw an audio called "The Complete Works of Dune".

"Dune"?

He has read this book, not just the title.Although he tends to listen to books, not all books have audio versions, and many new books do not.

He listened subconsciously for a while, but found something different.

Ordinary listening books are read according to the original text, but this audio is completely different, very different from the original text. Although the story is similar, it sounds easier to understand.

Kind of interesting.

Unknowingly, Peak listened to the passage just posted.

Different from reading a book, listening to a book makes people feel very relaxed and does not need to bother their brains too much, because many things in it are explained clearly.

This form is more like listening to stories told by adults when I was a child.

Pick took his mobile phone and went to his grandfather's room, where his grandfather was watching an old movie.

"Grandpa, here's something for you," said Peake.

"What?" Grandpa's eyes were still fixed on the TV.

"A piece of listening to a book, maybe you will be interested."

"If it's listening to books, I don't think I should be interested."

"This listening book is a little different."

"That's what you said last time." Grandfather pursed his lips, but still waved to Peak, "Bring it to me."

Peak smiled and turned on the audio in front of his grandfather.

[Copernicus put forward the "heliocentric theory", and we know that this world is not the center of the universe. Hubble used the telescope to unravel the mystery of extragalactic galaxies, and we know that there is a universe beyond the universe, and we are just a star in eternity. Tiny grains of sand. 】

[After all thinking machines are destroyed, the focus of the universe returns to the competition among humans. 】

【Planet Arrakis——Humanity's Dream...】

A few simple sentences revealed the background of the story, and then the story officially began.

On the whole, this audio has a Chinese storytelling style. When it comes up, it first points out the theme, and then enters the story. When entering the story, it leaves some superficiality, but hides some mysteries, so that people don’t feel too tired. At the same time, you will be attracted by the foreshadowing of the story to listen to it.

"It's interesting." After listening, the grandfather said with a smile.

"interesting?"

"It's very interesting," said the grandfather again. "The style is very friendly to me."

……

This American storytelling quickly became popular on audible.

The reason why it became popular so quickly is of course because of the word "Dune".

Most people clicked in to listen to it because of the word "Sand Dune", but after listening to it, they discovered the difference in this storytelling.

Although some original parties criticized the changes in the audio version, which made the book too popular and lost its mysterious veil, more people felt that this format made the book more accessible.

Car Radio seized the opportunity, contacted Parker, and purchased the rights to use The Complete Collection of Dunes.

Parker also recorded some audio to accompany the car radio station.

Such as:

"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the long storytelling "Dune."

"Welcome everyone to listen to the sixth episode of "Dune"..."

"The book continues from the above..."

Many people usually don't have time to read, or don't like to read, but they like to turn on the radio when driving. No matter what they are listening to, there is always some sound in the car.

Such a special way of telling a story, and it was about the most popular science fiction novel "Dune", so I listened to it unconsciously.

If "Dune" was popular in the book market before, but because of the appearance of storytelling, "Dune" has entered the field of vision of people who do not usually read books.

At the same time, the emergence of storytelling has also become a gospel for illiterate people.

Even in a country like the United States, there are many illiterate "illiterate" people, and these people are the main force of listening to books.

Of course, not only Americans find it novel, but Chinese people also find it novel, because most of them have never seen what English storytelling looks like.
