Chapter 300 Literary Awards
Zhang Duo smiled and said, "I dare not say anything else. A few movie tickets are still no problem. When "Laughing Proud Jianghu" is released, I will send two tickets to each of my classmates. You can invite the people you like to go together."
"Can I invite you?" Deng Juan looked up at Zhang Duo and said expectantly.
Zhang Duo smiled and said, "Let's talk about it when I'm free!" The meaning of refusal is obvious, because everyone knows that Zhang Duo has always been very busy.
The party that day was held very late, and most people had a good time. Even some people who are not very grouped get along with everyone in such an atmosphere. Only Zhang Duo smiled when facing his classmates, but turned around with infinite sadness.
Compared with the staggering and intoxicated money in the luxury hotel at this moment, Zhang Duo misses the days when he drank in the stalls with his friends in college. Although he was poor at that time, he was very happy and full of hope for tomorrow. Unfortunately, that kind of time and that kind of feeling can no longer be found.
Although Zhang Duo misses the past, what satisfies him is his current life. People can't always live in memories. As sung in "It's better not to see", "Who wants to live a life" and "there is a gap between those ten years".
After the party, Zhang Duo rested in the hotel overnight and flew back to Nanhai Film and Television City the next morning.
Jin Yuzhi, who came to pick up the plane, smiled and joked, "I came back so soon. I thought you would fall into the gentle countryside of school girls and don't want to come back!"
Zhang Duo and Jin Yuzhi walked in front, while Wang Zicheng followed with luggage. Zhang Duo smiled and said, "Suddenly I feel that this university is quite boring!"
"Then didn't you go too?" Jin Yuzhi asked with a smile.
Zhang Duo shook his head with a wry smile and said, "I can't help it. This is this tradition in China. No matter how much you have, if you don't have a diploma, you will never be favored by others. Just like in the past, no matter how talented you are, if you don't take the exam, you won't be an ancestor. In today's society, if you don't have a diploma, you will not have enough confidence after all!"
Jin Yuzhi said, "This is true. Nowadays, many officials and businessmen spend money on academic qualifications, and it is impossible to learn anything."
The two talked casually in the car. When they arrived at the hotel where they stayed, Sun Rui, dressed in professional clothes, came over and naturally followed Zhang Duo. Jin Yuzhi rolled her eyes and said nothing. She turned back to her room.
Seeing this, Zhang Duo smiled awkwardly and said, "Sister Yuzhi is just like this. Don't take it to heart."
Sun Rui said blankly, "I know that she is not aimed at me. She just doesn't like Zhang Shao's women around you."
Zhang Duo was stunned when he heard this. Then he shook his head and walked into the lobby and went back to his room. Zhang Duo, sitting on the sofa, looked up and asked Sun Rui, "Do you have any work arrangements?"
Sun Rui took a black book and opened it and said, "I still have to continue to shoot Xiao Ao Jianghu. In addition, Mr. Jiang sent me the first monthly sales report of Lu Ding Ji and asked you when the second book will be released. In addition, the first volume of "Ji Xian" is popular all over the country. Fans are looking forward to the follow-up plot, and I hope you can produce the second volume as soon as possible. The problem in front of you now is which of the two books to write first, but I personally prefer Zhu Xian.
"Why?" Zhang Duo put his body close to the sofa, put his hands together, raised his legs and asked.
"Mainly because of the market, "Zhu Xian" is very popular at present. It should be done while the iron is hot. Over time, the expectations of book fans will decline, which is not conducive to future sales." Sun Rui calmly analyzed.
"Is that all?" Zhang Duo nodded and asked casually.
A trace of rosy suddenly appeared on Sun Rui's face, "What's more, I really don't like Wei Xiaobao."
Zhang Duo was a little speechless before he said for a while, "Okay, I will consider your opinion. Let's go out first!"
After Sun Rui twisted her slender waist and went out, Zhang Duo sat on the sofa and meditated. Compared with Jade Dynasty, the sales of the first volume of The Deer Tripod are undoubtedly much worse. But in terms of the quality of the book, of course, Deer Tripod is better. Now that his newspaper is unwilling to serialize it, Zhang Duo can't help feeling a little guilty.
Of course, Zhang Duo will not let "The Deer Tripod" sink. After thinking about it, he had a plan in his mind, but he still had to go to the crew to shoot first, and it was not until night that he was crazy. At the speed of 15,000 words a day, more than 100,000 words were written in early September, and the second volume of The Deer Tripod was published. He fought until the end of September and released the third volume.
At the Eleventh, "The Smiling Proud Wanderer" had been completed and turned into post-production. Zhang Duo did not go directly to Bincheng, but went to the capital to meet Wei Wenzhao.
When Wei Wenzhao learned that Zhang Duo was coming, he was very happy and talked with Zhang Duo in the study, "A Duo, I don't know what's wrong with you coming this time!" Wei Wenzhao said with a warm smile.
Zhang Duo said bluntly, "The students came here this time. On the one hand, they came to see the teacher, and on the other hand, it was because of The Deer Tripod, and asked the teacher to help expand the influence!" Although Zhang Duo has not yet taken the postgraduate entrance examination of Wei Wenzhao, the two have already talked about teachers and students, so Zhang Duo also consider himself as a student when talking on the phone.
Wei Wenzhao pointed to Zhang Duo with a smile and said, "You boy! It's not difficult for me to help you, but you have to say what's good about your "Deer Tripod"?"
Zhang Duo said with a pale face, "In terms of the ideological nature of this book, because of the Wei Xiaobao I created, his literary image is comparable to Ah Q."
When Zhang Duo said this, Wei Wenzhao was finally moved: "Are you talking about Ah Q?"
"Yes, Wei Xiaobao does not learn skills, steers when he sees the wind, but he can get promoted and make a fortune. This is not a compliment, but a satire on Chinese society, which implies criticism of the social system and national character. Lu Dingji is naturally not as deep as the biography of Ah Q, but because it is a novel, it is extensive and more extensive. Therefore, in terms of cultural value, Wei Xiaobao is the most glorious literary image of China after Ah Q in the 20th century, and his value can be compared with Ah Q. Zhang Duo said this calmly, but Wei Wenzhao couldn't calm down.
Who is Ah Q? That is the artistic image created by Mr. Lu Xun. He is full of flesh and blood, lifelike, and has a distinct personality, contains profound social and historical content, and has become an immortal artistic model. Taizu once commented: "Lu Xun mainly wrote about a backward and unconscious farmer in this novel." A Q shaped by Mr. Lu Xun is a typical character image with the characteristics of the times, class characteristics and personality characteristics.
Now Zhang Duo said that the Wei Xiaobao he created is comparable to Ah Q. Doesn't that his novels have left the category of popular literature and have begun to have profound and realistic social significance?
Wei Wenzhao thought about it carefully and found that compared with his previous work. Zhang Duo's narrative skills in The Deer Tripod are unprecedented, but they are really difficult to see in literature. The characters are pure and comprehensive, whether it is the plot, foreshadowing, character drawing, writing style, story structure, environment and imagination. It is much more advanced than Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils and Smiling Proud Jianghu. Although the theme is not to discuss martial arts sorrow, it is a funny story and more realistic.
"Maybe "The Deer Tripod" can participate in the " Midnight Literature Award"! Wei Wenzhao muttered, but shocked Zhang Duo.
"Teacher, what did you... say?" Zhang Duo thought there was something wrong with his hearing.
Wei Wenzhao continued to say, "I mean, your "Deer Tripod" can be used to participate in the "Early Night Literature Award." Why, you don't have confidence?"
"Me!" Zhang Duo was stunned. He came here to talk to Wei Wenzhao and ask him to write a film review for Lu Ding Ji and send it to Huaxia Daily.
Maybe because it was not serialized in the newspaper, or because Xianxia novels prospered in advance, Deer Tripod, which was originally rated as the number one of Mr. Jin Yong's novels in his previous life, has been teve sales. It's better than the Book and Sword, which can't be compared with Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils, Legend of the Condor Heroes and so on.
Zhang Duo originally thought that the situation would be better after the plot unfolded, but he didn't expect it to be published in the third volume, and there was still no better. He went to Wei Wenzhao to ask for help, but he never thought of participating in any literary awards.
"Teacher, Deer Tripod is a martial arts novel after all. If you take it for the Midnight Literature Award, you will be laughed at!" Zhang Duo said with no confidence.
Wei Wenzhao stared and said, "You dare to boast that Wei Xiaobao's literary image is comparable to Ah Q. Why don't you even have the courage to participate in the competition? It's okay. If I have a teacher here, I won't treat you unfairly, as long as you write this "Deer Tripod" well.
Zhang Duo was also a little excited when he heard it. After all, the status of a martial arts novelist is still a little lower. Only by winning the "Ziye Literature Award" at home and the Nobel Prize in literature abroad will his social status rise to another level.
Thinking of this, Zhang Duo finally made up his mind: "Since the teacher recommended it, I will fight. No matter who the opponent is, I will get a prize back!"
Wei Wenzhao patted Zhang Duo on the shoulder and said, "Well, this is the only way to be ambitious. After going back, make more efforts to write down the Deer Tripod. I really hope to see the moment when you receive the award."
The two said this, but Wei Wenzhao's mobile phone rang. When they picked it up, they knew that it was Xu Jingnian. Wei Wenzhao said a few words. After hanging up, he said to Zhang Duo with a smile, "It happens that Lao Xu will bring their children here later. You can ask Lao Xu for some advice. His literary attainments are also very high."
