"Pengpeng is better than me. I haven't written a novel yet, not even one." Xu Yuhan said.
"Have you never written a diary?" Zhang Zhong asked.
"I have written it, but a diary is not considered a novel."
"Of course it can be calculated. Don't you remember the three elements of a novel?"
Xu Yuhan laughed and said, "Take the test for me. Although I have graduated many years ago, I still remember this thing. The three elements of a novel are not only characters, plot, and environment. I not only know the three elements of a novel, but also the four components of a novel."
Part, beginning, development, climax, end.”
Zhang nodded and said, "In this case, you should know that many diaries can be regarded as novels. As long as these three elements are present, the diaries are actually first-person novels."
"But ordinary diaries don't have a beginning, development, climax, and end." Xu Yuhan retorted.
"Well, yes. But many novels themselves don't have these things. These are not necessary at all. So you must have written novels."
"Forget it, I won't argue with you about this. I can't argue with you anyway. Do you know that this is totally a bully behavior?"
Zhang Zhong shrugged, "Of course I know."
…
Pengpeng now has a great desire to create, and her enthusiasm has been mobilized by Zhang Zhong, but Zhang Zhong actually does not want her to spend too much time on writing.
He also hopes that Pengpeng can spend time on reading, and the root of writing lies in reading.
There are many writers with low academic qualifications, but Zhang Zhong has never heard of a writer who read less.
[Biquge www.biqugexx.co] They may have rarely written before, or they may have never created any works at all, but they must have read a lot of books.
In the past, Zhang Zhong usually didn't care what books Pengpeng read, because she didn't know many words and didn't have much reading ability. The works she liked to read were fairy tales with pictures.
But it's different now. She already has a certain reading ability. Even if Zhang Zhong doesn't let her read, there are so many books at home, she will go and read them.
In this case, Zhang Zhong had to start worrying about what books he wanted Pengpeng to read.
Zhang Zhong doesn't want to give Pengpeng too much freedom in reading at this time, because many books are really not suitable for her to read now.
When she grows up, Zhang Zhong will gradually give her the freedom to read. Until she forms her own three views, Zhang Zhong will not care about what she wants to read, and even if he does, he probably won't be able to control it.
.
Of course, Zhang Zhong would not limit what Pengpeng had to watch. He only gave Pengpeng a rough framework. As long as it did not exceed this framework, she could watch whatever she wanted.
For this reason, Zhang Zhong specially tidied up the study room.
He puts the books that he thinks Peng Peng can read on the lower shelf, and the books he thinks are not suitable for Peng Peng to read on the upper shelf.
This matter took Zhang Zhong a lot of time. In the past few years, there have been more and more books in Zhang Zhong's study. There are hundreds of his own books alone plus Zero Zero One Weekly.
There are also writers signed by his company. All the books of these writers can be found in his study room. Although most writers are not as productive as Zhang Zhong, they have been around for a long time and many of their books have various versions.
For example, Yu Dongyu, the books he wrote in his early years have been published by several publishers, and each publisher will publish at least one version.
Zhang Zhong has collected all these versions.
Although I haven't done a detailed calculation, there should be tens of thousands of books. Of course, many of these books are duplicates, and there are also many that Zhang Zhong himself has not read.
Zhang Zhong's study is not a beautiful study, it is mainly practical.
If it hadn't been for Pengpeng to sort it out this time, these books wouldn't have any classification. Most of them would be placed casually, as long as they don't look cluttered. Anyway, he has a good memory and can remember the location of each book.
In fact, even if he didn't have a super memory, he probably wouldn't go out of his way to classify these books, because this is his own study room, he stays in it every day, and no one else touches his books, so he can basically remember them all.
of.
Every time Yu Dongyu and others come over, they will envy Zhang Zhong's study, mainly because of its large area. The overall area of many people's homes may not be so large.
But now Zhang Zhong is facing a problem, because Mi had special plans when decorating the study, so there was not even a cabinet with a door in the study.
In this way, all books are in direct contact with the dust in the air.
Although the study room is very clean, there will always be some dust over time, so it needs to be cleaned frequently.
And cleaning is not the main problem, dust can also cause damage to some books.
Forgetting ordinary books, there are some more precious books in Zhang Zhong's study that need to be protected. At this time, a cabinet with a door is needed.
So Zhang Zhong has also recently been considering whether to renovate his study room.
There is no problem with small renovations. If large-scale renovations are to be carried out, these books must be removed first, which is another troublesome matter.
This house has been under construction since last year. The sunroom, fireplace, Peng Peng's new room upstairs, and Zhang Zhong and Xu Yuhan's future new houses were all completed during this period.
Pengpeng's room has been renovated, but the furniture in it has not been purchased yet. A few days ago, Xu Yuhan said that she would take Pengpeng to choose things.
…
"The Shadow Stealer" has been published, and Zhang Zhong has also translated the book into Chinese.
There is no pressure at all to translate this book into Chinese, because there are relatively few things related to national characteristics, and there are not many places to revise.
Moreover, he also let the original author play a cameo role in the novel. He changed the protagonist's good friend Luc to Li Wei. Anyway, the name Li Wei sounds like a Chinese name.
After finishing it, he sent the manuscript to Chen Qing and asked him to take it to the translation team for translation. He also asked Chen Qing to have the French version translated and show it to him first.
Chen Qing didn't quite understand Zhang Zhong's instructions. He couldn't figure out why the boss wanted a French version. According to him, the boss's French seemed to be average... He was generally polite.
Since the boss doesn't understand French, why does he want the French version? He can't understand it.
Although he didn't understand Zhang Zhong's purpose of doing this, Chen Qing still did it, and when he took the manuscript over, he specifically told Qian Peixin, the leader of the French group, about it.
Qian Peixin was also a little surprised, but his accident was different from Chen Qing's because he had experienced this kind of thing once.
Since "Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea", Qian Peixin has led the translation of all Zhang Zhong's works in French classes. Under normal circumstances, Zhang Zhong would not ask about translation issues because he really does not understand French.
But Zhang Zhong, who translated "Sophie's World", had asked about it once before.
