Chapter 403 If there is a show or not, sing it twice
Wang Meng lives longer and sees more things.
China has developed too fast in recent years, so there are still many people who cannot keep up with the pace and are still living in their own dreams.
Many people hold on to the past and are unwilling to let go, and can never see the way forward.
Fortunately, China no longer faces the same disasters as before.
At that time, in the rapid social changes, it was impossible for every ordinary or extraordinary ordinary person not to be violently impacted in terms of concepts, psychology, and behavior.
Pessimism, disappointment, stubbornness, confusion, helplessness, passive retreat, wanting to make a difference but not being able to find the right way, and other manifestations are complex and difficult to describe.
The story of the soul-severing gun is not exclusive to that era. In these eras in China, there should be a soul-severing gun in every era. China has undergone too many and drastic changes.
Economically and culturally.
Cultural movements, land reforms, economic reforms...seem to have never stopped.
In the cracks of every era, there is the soul-cutting gun.
…
Zhang Zhong turned off the air conditioner in the study, opened the window, and let the air conditioner fill the entire room before he went downstairs.
Just now he read netizens' comments about "Soul-Breaking Gun" on the Internet, and they said everything.
This is the charm of implicitness. Sometimes it can not only express what the author wants to express euphemistically, but also bring out more other things.
Some people say that the Soul-Destroying Gun satirizes those who like to show off and pretend to be empty-headed, such as Wang Sansheng in the book, Tiantianhu pretends to be powerful, and uses the name of Shashalong to make a living.
Some people also say that the soul-breaking gun expresses regret for the decline of heroes. Sand Dragon was once so prosperous, but in the end he had to put down the gun in his hand.
Others say that the Soul-Destroying Gun illustrates the turbulent waves under the waves in the changing times.
Some people even say that the Soul-Destroying Gun is a martial arts dream of the author Zhang Zhong, but his martial arts dream is full of sadness and loneliness.
Zhang Zhong feels that the netizens are right. After all, there are 1,251 Supreme Treasures in the eyes of a thousand readers.
In fact, there is a little story about this "Soul-Severing Gun".
Originally "The Soul-Destroying Spear" was not so short. At that time, Lao She was preparing to write a full-length novel, which was part of "The Two Boxers".
However, due to the pressure of supporting his family at that time, he had to write it quickly, so he had to select the parts with more concentrated themes from the materials prepared for the long form and write it into a short story for emergency relief.
Later, "Two Boxers" was no longer completed, leaving only "The Soul-Destroying Spear".
It’s hard to say whether it’s a blessing in disguise or just a regret. After all, Zhang Zhong has never watched The Two Boxers, so it’s hard to judge. But no matter what, this “Soul-Severing Gun” has definitely survived, and as time goes by
As time went by, it became more and more popular among readers and became recognized as a masterpiece.
When he went downstairs, he could still feel the chill. He could no longer hear the sound of children playing in the community, but Zhang Zhong could vaguely feel the sound of a spear piercing the air in the dark night.
Zhang Zhong smiled, maybe the spear that pierced through time and space not only stayed in the dark night of the sand dragon, but also stayed in his heart.
I looked up at the waning moon in the sky. This month is about to pass, and soon after, this year will also pass.
…
When I woke up the next morning, Zhang Zhong received many blessing text messages on his mobile phone.
Because the messages on his phone are all acquaintances, most of them have been carefully edited, unlike those text messages that are forwarded uniformly.
Shen Jian's, Yu Dongyu's, Chen Qing's, Lin Lin's, Song Xiang's... Zhang Zhong was reading text messages, and Tong Can's message was also sent over.
The message was nothing special, just saying hello to the Chinese New Year.
However, Zhang Zhong remembered what he had promised him before, and after thinking about it, he edited a message and sent it back.
"Happy New Year's Eve. See you at Hongyunlai Hotel at noon on the sixth day of the lunar month."
Tong Can had just sent the text message to Zhang Zhong and was about to greet others when he found that Zhang Zhong had replied to the text message.
The content of the text message made him excited, and he didn't care about sending messages to other people. He ran to Tong Guan who was watching the news in the living room and said with a smile: "Dad, guess whose message I received?"
"Whose?" Tong Guan was watching the news about last night's Nanhuai New Year's Eve party. The ratings were pretty good. He wanted to see the audience's response again.
"Zhang Zhong, my brother Zhong."
Tong Guan raised his eyebrows, raised his head and asked, "What did he say?"
"We said we would meet at the Hongyunlai Hotel at noon on the sixth day of the Lunar New Year," Tong Can said.
"Hongyun is here, okay, the quality there is pretty good. Has he booked a private room? Or should we book it?"
Tong Can shook his head, "I didn't tell you. I'll go and ask."
He just picked up his cell phone and was about to send a message to Zhang Zhong, but Zhang Zhong sent another message. Tong Can raised his eyebrows and said, "He said that the box has been booked in box 888, so we can just go there when the time comes. .”
Tong Guan nodded, "Okay."
Tong Can smiled and took credit and said, "Dad, you see I'm not bragging. I accomplished the things you asked me to do."
"That's right. If you still have some skills, you can come with me on the sixth day of the Lunar New Year."
"Then you have to tell me what you are looking for for him, otherwise I won't know anything and it will be useless to go there." Tong Can said.
"It's useless to tell you." Tong Guan said with a smile, "But it's okay to tell you. Our TV station wants to win the film and television adaptation rights of "The Ordinary World"."
"No," Tong Can said in surprise, "How long has it been since this book was released? No, this is not the main problem. The main problem is that your TV station still produces its own TV shows?"
"Isn't it possible?" Tong Guan said with a smile.
"It's not impossible, it's just not easy. I remember that Xiangnan Satellite TV tried it before, but it was short-lived. Self-broadcasting is not a good thing in the long run."
"Well, you are right. It is indeed difficult for our mainland TV stations to find a way to make their own broadcasts. But we are not going to take the self-made route, but are going to make customizations. If we can get "The Ordinary World" "We will hand over the adaptation rights to others, and then our own TV station will broadcast it."
"Oh, this is a way. But I think dad, you should not have too high hopes. Although Zhang Zhong is from Nanhuai, no one stipulates that he should hand over the copyright to Nanhuai TV Station."
"Do I need you to teach me this? I just want a chance to talk to Zhang Zhong face to face. The TV station tried to contact Zhang Zhong before, but his agent gave him a call. They seemed to There is no intention to talk about copyright."
"Doesn't that mean there's no chance?"
"If there is a show or not, let's sing it twice first and then talk about it."
