Yu Dongyu is a person who doesn't want to suffer losses. When he came to the stage to give a speech, he insisted on letting Zhang Zhong be the host for him.
Zhang Zhong didn't care, since he was on his own territory anyway, so he went on stage and gave a "ceremonious" introduction to Yu Dongyu.
"A lot of people came today." Zhang Zhong glanced at the crowded lecture hall and said with a smile, "In order to bring a successful end to this semester, the school specially invited nine leading writers in the literary world to come over.
Let’s give a lecture to everyone.”
nine?
Not only were the audience sitting below wide-eyed and surprised, but also Yu Dongyu who was waiting to come up backstage was also surprised.
He also turned around and looked around. Apart from him, there were only a few students busy in the background, and Wang Xi. Where did those nine people come from?
Did Zhang Zhong count himself among them?
Even counting Zhang Zhong, there were only two people.
Just when everyone was confused, Zhang Zhong continued, "These nine people are cocklebur, Houttuynia cordata, and Candlelight in the Wind..."
Zhang Zhong said eight names in one breath.
Fans who are familiar with Yu Dongyu immediately understood that these eight pen names were all used by Yu Dongyu before.
Yu Dongyu likes to use vests. In addition to Xanthium, there are probably seven or eight well-known pen names. There may be other unknown ones, I don’t know how many there are.
Because of Yu Dongyu's many vests, when Zhang Zhong's first book "Jieyou Grocery Store" became a hit on the Internet, many netizens speculated whether "Fifth Grade Vegetative" was another new vest of Yu Dongyu.
The relationship between the two also started from that time.
Now Zhang Zhong used Yu Dongyu's vest to make a joke. In addition to being humorous, it also pointed out the origin between the two.
"This is Zhang Zhong." Yu Dongyu in the background smiled, thinking that he was dazzled by this guy again.
After some introductions, Zhang Zhong finally said, "Okay, without further ado, I would like to invite today's protagonist, Mr. Yu Dongyuyu, to the stage."
Yu Dongyu came up from the backstage, shook hands with Zhang Zhong, and then walked to the microphone.
As soon as he appeared, applause immediately broke out.
"Nine of us came up together, why do we get so much applause?"
Yu Dongyu's humor is not inferior to Zhang Zhong's, and he responded to Zhang Zhong's teasing as soon as he came on stage.
The audience below heard this interestingly, laughing and applauding vigorously.
When the applause subsided, Yu Dongyu continued, "Yesterday I was still in Yanjing. I was thinking whether to go to the north of the city to eat shabu-shabu or to the south of the city to have porridge tonight, but I didn't expect to end up here thousands of miles away. Your Zhang
The teacher was a master of deception, and he tied me up with just a few words. He also told me that the students at Jiangyang University were all simple and easy to deceive, so he just asked me to come over and say a few words."
The students below were stunned.
Wow, it turns out that Yu Dongyu was "tied" by Zhang Zhong.
No wonder there was no news at all before. This morning, the school official website notified that there would be a lecture in the evening.
After seemingly casually complaining and warming up the place, Yu Dongyu quickly got into the topic of today's speech, "On the way here, I was still thinking about what I wanted to tell you today. Zhang Zhong asked me to say a few random words, but these two casual words
I can't say it casually. On the way to Jiangyang, I saw a train passing by the window, a person walking by the river, and a leaf falling from the tree... These are all realities, and they are always
It appears in literary works, but the reality in the text I am going to tell you today is not these. When the train passes by, it will no longer return to our reading. When the people walking by the river walk away, they are immediately surrounded by ten thousand,
When the leaves fall, readers are indifferent. Although this reality appears in literary narratives, it is still a reality in reality, and it is still not a reality in literature."
"I read two real events in Chinese tabloids. Let me list them, maybe they can illustrate the reality in literature..."
Reality in words, such a lecture topic seems a bit confusing, but in fact, what Yu Dongyu wants to say is also some relatively basic things. He does not lead students to explore literature and art, nor does he lead them into a whirlpool of beautiful words.
, but tells them the charm of written narrative.
This kind of speech is very popular among students, because after listening to it, the audience will immediately find it useful.
Ah, it turns out that literature is like this, there are traces to follow and laws to follow.
Yu Dongyu tells everyone that not only imagination is very important to literature, but insight is also equally important.
Imagination without insight to help grasp the sense of proportion is often just random thinking. Only when imagination and insight are perfectly combined can there be reality in literature.
To help understand, he also gave several examples.
For example, Dante's archery verse.
"The arrow hit the target and missed the string."
Another example is Borges's description of a person's voice: It's the kind of voice I often hear on my tapes.
Another example is Yourcenar's description of the props added when the neck and head were separated and reassembled: a strange red scarf was wrapped around his neck.
These are all realities in literature.
…
After the speech, principal Liu Hong and some teachers hosted a banquet for Yu Dongyu, who had come from afar, with Zhang Zhong accompanying him.
Liu Hong was in a good mood. Since Zhang Zhong came to teach at the school, Jiangyang University's reputation has become more and more popular.
If you can invite Yu Dongyu to give a speech today, will you be able to invite Zhuang Yu and Wang Yi next time?
Everyone knows that Zhang Zhong has a good relationship with these people.
Liu Hong even started to think about it at the dinner table. Maybe in the future, Jiangyang University could set up a Jiangyang Lecture Hall series to specially invite these famous people to give lectures.
However, the school's lecture hall still seems a bit cramped, and perhaps we should build a larger lecture hall later.
As the school's reputation increases, all facilities must keep up.
The video of Yu Dongyu's speech quickly circulated, and various news came out.
Some unscrupulous media even directly headlined: Shocking, Zhang Zhong actually tied up Yu Dongyu, the truth of the matter...
Netizens were attracted by the title. After seeing the news content, they couldn't help but curse. However, while scolding the media, they also joked that if Zhang Zhong "tied up" Yu Dongyu this time, he would "tied up" next time.
who?
Netizens really guessed this, and Zhang Zhong was already thinking about who to invite to give a lecture at Jiangyang University next.
This impromptu speech turned out to be very successful, and it gave Zhang Zhong the idea of inviting more people to give speeches. Even if Zhuang Yu and the others cannot be roped in to teach at Shizhong College, it should not be difficult to come and give lectures occasionally.
.
Of course, next time we do it, we can't be so hasty. I heard that the school's official website is stuck in order to grab tickets. I will suggest to Liu Hong later that it is best to improve the server configuration. At least the school's computer school is not bad either.
