Chapter 84 Conception

"I recently read three or two martial arts novels by Gu Yongsheng, a writer of the Society. I was very happy about it. I talked about the meaning of publishing a book lover. I hope to meet you and meet to relieve some confusions in my heart. I also talked about a few brief views. I hope your society will convey it on your behalf and wish your company a prosperous future."

Lu Yicong finished reading the text message with great interest, and then left a sentence to Wei Wuzhi: "A university professor sent a letter to meet Gu Shao. I wonder if he was recruiting students or asking for a speech."

After a while, Wei Wuzhi replied: "By his personality, he probably won't go."

"After all, it's a good thing. If Xiao Gu is willing to cooperate, he can take the opportunity to open up the college student market. Hi."

"He is still a middle school student. By the way, he is going to take the college entrance examination. You can mention it, but it is best not to have any tendency to suggest it. I always feel that this child has a very disproportionate maturity with his age, which is a bit different from Han Shuo."

"If this is not the case, the professor cannot talk about the fan of publishing books."

"At this point, I just finished reading a post that summarized the relationships in "White Horse" and came up with a list of unrequited loves to the group."

"The same sentence, once the story discussion becomes cloud, there is no need to do any publicity. It can trigger the so-called 'white horse phenomenon' with just a few sentences. This kind of author cannot find it."

...

The post mentioned by Wei Wuzhi was exactly what he mentioned was "The Way of Heaven has a Constant" and the title was "Universal Love". The Idian of Heaven has a Constant position in the Douya Forum is already at the level of platinum VIP, so as soon as his post was released, netizens supported him and was quickly pushed to the homepage.

Although the title of Tiandao Youchang is amazing, the content of this post has maintained its consistent level and is an authentic title content of both parties.

The beginning of the post is similar to the commentary article of Radish Head, which summarizes several nine-serial emotional entanglements in the story, and then leaves the attribution. "This book describes a story of unrequited love for everyone."

The discussion on the emotional part came to an abrupt end. Next, Chang Jun began to compare "The White Horse Roaring the West Wind" and "The Legend of the White-Haired Witch".

"The author's book still starts with the word "white". The profound meaning is quite interesting. I wonder if it is the author's official response or even retaliation of everyone's "The Legend of the White-Haired Witch"?"

"Whether it is, it is a good thing, at least the author has contributed a good story to everyone, and we have a new topic."

"Although the author completely kept his promise this time, he really wrote a novel with love as the title of "The Legend of the White-Haired Witch". However, this does not change my evaluation of "The Legend of the White-Haired Witch". In fact, to a certain extent, the author's creation of "White Horse" has also more or less accepted some of everyone's suggestions. The love plot in "White Hair" is moving, but it is still conceptualized and programmed. In the end, the story is still not free from some of the old constraints."

"For example, we talk about the story of Hongfu Nu and Li Jing. 'Hongfu Nu met Li Jing and ran with her', such a simple sentence seems to be very imaginative, but when you read such words, you cannot feel particularly moved. The so-called words that reach people's hearts are similar to those confessions, dialogues, and stubbornness in "White Horse". That question..."

"The revelation is that after having a story, there must be words that carry the story. In other words, we cannot simply tell someone that a beautiful woman falls in love with a famous family. Later, because of the cowardice of the children of the people, she was unable to be together. The woman's hair was gray all night long. No one reads it. The words in "Green Hair" are naturally a thousand times better than my example, but "White Horse" is 1,000 times better. The extra one is exactly the key that can disturb people's itchy places."

...

The core point of the post "Tiandao Youchang" is to address the text expressions of the two novels. At the same time, those who noticed this problem also wrote a text message to Qianhong to invite Liu Jingting to meet Professor Chen Shirang.

Before, he frequently mentioned Gu Yongsheng's novels in class, but not everyone of his students likes martial arts, so he never seriously regarded Gu Yongsheng's novels as an example or a formal text.

Until today.

"It's not about forcing everyone to come into contact with this type of text, but now it's about letting go of all prejudices, analyzing these as pure texts, and then giving conclusions."

Professor Chen released excerpts from "The White Horse Screaming the West Wind" and "The Legend of the White-Haired Witch" on the multimedia screen, and then asked the students to compare and analyze and evaluate the pros and cons.

[Li Wenxiu sighed, took the rope out of Aman's neck, and said, "Sup likes you, I...I won't make him sad. You are Supu's person!" As he said that, he gently pushed Aman and let her lean into Supu's arms... Li Wenxiu was thinking, "No matter how many rare treasures there are in Gaochang maze, I must not let my life be happy."...That's all very good, but I don't like it...]

[……This is the conversation between Yu Luosha and Zhuo Yihang when they revealed their true feelings in Mingyue Gorge. Now it is a joke in the past, and it is all in front of you today! The cloud shadows change, and "Zhuo Yihang" is gone again. Yu Luosha smiled bitterly and said, "There is a magical medicine in the world, and I will never see you again in this life."…]

Professor Chen looked at the words on the screen with his head tilted, looked at the words on the screen for a while, then turned to look at the classmates and asked, "What do you mean?"

One of the graduate students who have always expressed interest in Gu Yongsheng's novels said: "The language of "The White Horse Snorkeling the West Wind" is closer to spoken language, but it is a more refined language that is more in line with our current reading taste. "The Legend of the White-Haired Witch" still retains classical Chinese sentences. For us students, when it comes to classical Chinese, the first thing that pops up in our minds must be exams, reading comprehension, and memorizing texts. Instinctively, there is a resistance mentality, so there is a gap."

"It's not all like this," another continued: "Although half classical Chinese and half vernacular sentences can feel awkward to read, we will feel particularly credible by the same principle. A more important criterion for a writer to create a novel is to be convincing, and there is this advantage in literary and literary deeds."

Professor Chen listened to everyone's discussion, smiled and did not interrupt. He did not skew, and nodded occasionally. When other students saw this situation, they were inevitably itchy. Although they usually sneer at martial arts, in order to show their unique views and opinions in front of everyone, they had to carefully read the text on the screen and then say a few condescending comments.

At this moment, Chen Shirang suddenly said in a shocking way: "If I invite Gu Yongsheng to give you a speech, would you say this be appropriate?"

The discussion disappeared instantly. Then everyone expressed their opposition in unison, including those students who had read Gu Yongsheng's novels, who also strongly opposed the teacher's proposal.

"Although martial arts novels are also part of literature and a branch, they are entertainment paths after all. They can never be compared with orthodox literature, and they cannot allow such an author to go to school to give a speech. This matter will definitely be joked when it is spread elsewhere."

"Martial arts novels are similar to soap operas or commercial movies, and the authors of martial arts novels are similar to those of film and television dramas. Although the audience of works is huge, they still cannot reach the point of becoming an entertainer."

"No matter what the author thinks, this kind of work has a tendency toward kitsch and writes stories that readers like. In ancient times, people from the world also did such work, but they were absolutely unable to enter private schools to teach students."

...

Although the students present did not say it clearly, Professor Chen could clearly feel that his students still failed to regard martial arts as real literature. This concept is simply inconvincing, and it is still the same truth. Unless one day Gu Yongsheng really made a great wish to write a work that was appreciated by both the elite and the masses and shocked the world, this kind of thought would never be eliminated. These words from his students reflected the views of most people.

"Then let's discuss this matter again," Professor Chen smiled indifferently when he saw everyone's excited expressions, and gave up his previous proposal. "I was still a little surprised by your views on martial arts authors. After all, they are different from artists. They are more low-key and silent."

The students disapproved: "It's all about entertaining the public in nature."

Professor Chen couldn't help but smile bitterly: "He usually teaches students to have the ability to think independently and have the attitude of 'I love my teacher, I love the truth more'. As a result, they learned this, but they could not learn to broaden their horizons and tolerate all teachings."

But to a certain extent, this is understandable. Students like him have been taking exams all the way to now and have become graduate students. What they see and learn are all knowledge points in a frame of rules and regulations. The concept of good and evil is too strong. It is indeed a embarrassment to them to accept martial arts novels. Let's proceed step by step.

...

When Professor Chen Shirang's students refused to give a speech to Liu Jingting at school, Lu Yicong passed the text message to Gu Yongsheng and keenly reminded: "Professor Chen's teaching style has always been famous for his freedom and independence, so he may ask you to give speeches to his students, so you must be mentally prepared."

Liu Jingting laughed and said, "It would be strange if I asked me, a high school student, to give a lecture to graduate students. I don't need to throw my stinky shoes. I will reply to Professor Chen in person, and forget about the speech. The time is not yet ripe."

"Oh? You mean the time is right in the future and you will give a speech?"

Liu Jingting pondered for a moment and said, "I may say that one day in the future, I may give a national tour speech, tell everyone some interesting things, and tell them some stories about amazing people."

Lu Yichou naturally welcomed this kind of thing and said with a smile: "Now it is still the main focus on writing books and learning."

"That's right, without a work, there will be no confidence, and there will be no audience."

"You have grasped the pulse of all speeches. In fact, you see that all successful speeches come from successful people. In fact, a successful person standing on the podium and saying nothing is enough to explain everything."

The two chatted for a while and then hung up the phone. Liu Jingting put his phone on the table, slid backwards onto the bed, leaning against the head of the bed, thinking quietly about something.

The birth of "The White Horse Screaming the West Wind" has a good effect, but like all events, after experiencing prosperity, it will definitely end. The plan to promote the book will continue. Who will be the next book?

After thinking for a long time, I suddenly thought of the conversation with Wang Qianqian that day. I felt so bad. I held a ballpoint pen on the table, spread out my notebook, and wrote two titles: "The Duck Sword" and "Xiao Shiyilang".
Chapter completed!
