There are also some people in the literary world who particularly like to hide their ideologies.
For example, Jack London, the author of "The Call of the Wild" who moved to this world before Zhang Zhong, was a master of disguise.
If you don't know Jack London as a person and go directly to see his works, you may have some beautiful misunderstandings about this person.
As a result, there will be two voices in the literary world. One voice says that the writer's writing of the work has nothing to do with him. What the reader can get from the work is the most important.
Another voice believes that analyzing works cannot be separated from the author himself.
In fact, this point was mentioned in Zhu Guangqian's "Talking about Literature".
Many people feel that after a work is written, what it looks like does not depend on what the writer wants it to look like, but on how the reader sees it.
From an idealist perspective, this is absolutely correct.
Even the appearance of the entire world is due to "me", let alone a small literary work.
"Zhang Zhong can do this, and it's easier for him to do it than anyone else." Yu Dongyu suddenly said.
Yu Dongyu's words brought Zhang Zhong back from his wandering thoughts.
Zhang Zhong looked at Yu Dongyu, raised his eyebrows, and asked with confusion, "What are you referring to?"
"Of course, Zhuang Yu said that the writing methods of fantasy literature should be applied to root-seeking literature." Yu Dongyu said.
Wang Yize had a half-smiling expression on his face, "Why does it have to be root-seeking literature and not other literary genres?"
Yu Dongyu laughed, "Okay, okay, scar literature is best."
Regarding Yu Dongyu's words, Wang Yi was noncommittal. He looked at Zhang Zhong and said, "Don't listen to their nonsense. This is not about learning technology, but also adopting the best of hundreds of schools of thought."
After saying this, Wang Yi probably felt that this was not applicable to Zhang Zhong, so he pursed his lips and did not continue.
Zhang Zhong himself said with a smile, "I did have a work recently, which has a bit of what you are talking about, but I can't define it myself."
Hearing what he said, everyone else present became interested.
"What work? Has it been written?" Liu Yuan asked first.
"It's been written, but it hasn't been sent for typesetting yet," Zhang Zhong said.
Yu Dongyu asked tentatively, "Can you give us a sneak peek?"
Zhang Zhong shook his head, "Forget it. You can read it after the book is published. It's not long, but it will take a lot of time for you to read it now."
Yu Dongyu curled his lips and joked, "I think you have no choice but to earn the book fees for the few of us."
"It's natural."
Yu Dongyu and the others did not ask about the book again. Although they had a good relationship, they were still shy. The last question was already the limit.
Only Wang Yi complained, "It's better not to tell us, so that we don't have to worry about it now and can't see what the work looks like."
Zhang Chong smiled and said, "You just happened to mention this, so I just mentioned it by the way."
"That's it, that's all. I must buy this book. You must at least tell me what the title is or when it will be released. Otherwise, I will buy the wrong book again."
"Just go and buy my new book. After reading it, you will know which one it is." Zhang Chong said with a smile.
These words instantly caused public outrage.
"You are not satisfied with the price of one book, and you still want us to buy every copy. It is really greedy."
…
After chatting about the new plan, it was already getting late, so Zhang Zhong led everyone outside to prepare for dinner.
The place to eat is not far away, it is at the Orange Restaurant in the cafeteria of Jiangyang University.
Orange Restaurant is not big, with only five private rooms in total, making it a good place for gatherings.
Zhang Zhong has eaten at Orange Restaurant several times, and it tastes pretty good. The main reason is that it is relatively close to the Political and Educational Building, and it only takes five or six minutes to walk there.
However, the group of them walking struttingly on the road was indeed eye-catching.
When students coming and going saw such a combination, they all stopped and showed incredulous expressions.
For students in the School of Liberal Arts, Zhuang Yu, Wang Yi, Liu Yuan, Yu Dongyu, and Zhao Re, who were walking to the left of Zhang Zhong, except for Zhao Re, who might be a little unfamiliar, they generally knew the others.
After all, they always mention these people when they are in class, especially in contemporary literature classes, they cannot be avoided.
The people walking to the right of Zhang Zhong are also very well-known. After all, they are all regular guests of the Nebula and Hugo Awards.
But seeing these two groups of people walking together gives people an unreal feeling, because in the eyes of ordinary people, these two groups of people belong to two different worlds.
Especially for Penny Austin, many people even think she belongs in the entertainment industry.
But when I think about it carefully, it seems reasonable to put this combination next to Zhang Zhong, because Zhang Zhong himself is a writer with a variety of works.
Some students couldn't help but take out their mobile phones to take photos of such a lineup, and then posted them on social software.
In this way, a photo titled "The Same Frame of the Century" quickly spread on the Internet.
Titles such as "In the Same Frame of the Century" are somewhat exaggerated. The oldest among them is only in his fifties, and they belong to a "young" group.
And after all, they are both people in the literary world, so there is nothing unreasonable about them being in the same category.
But netizens still find it very strange. After all, they have never seen this group of people walking together.
[Okay, now my avatar is finalized. 】
[Although they are both writers, they always feel like they are from two different worlds.]
【Walking side by side like this is really shocking.】
[Is that Penny Austin standing next to Llorente? This is the first time I see Penny Austin dressed so well...]
[There were rumors that Penny Austin and Llorente were together, and it seems to be true.]
[That’s not called being together anymore, but getting back together. They were together before.]
[Yes, when Llorente was so handsome, they broke up. Now that Llorente has gained weight, they got back together again. It seems that the claim that Penny Austin has a facial control is fake. 】
[If they come together now, will something big happen? 】
[Didn’t Zhang Zhong announce a new plan a few days ago? 】
[That's the Fantasy World Project, and it has something to do with Zhuang Yu and the others.]
[They are all Zhang Zhong’s friends, so it’s normal for them to meet together. 】
[Am I the only one who cares about the combined net worth of this group of people?]
[Ahem, in terms of worth, the wave on the left should be weaker. After all, Linde is the second best-selling author in the world. The sales of Llorente and Penny Austen’s works are also very high.]
[In terms of sales, it is estimated that there is only one little cocklebur here that can do a little bit. After all, he is the second best-selling author in China.]
[I roughly calculated that the total book sales of this group of people are estimated to be hundreds of billions of Chinese coins.]
【Hundreds of billions? Zhang Zhong alone has hundreds of billions.】
【Well, they should have hundreds of billions.】
[Let me go, this is a group of tycoons worth hundreds of billions of dollars walking together.]
[Calm down, calm down, in a few years, the combined worth of the people in this picture may be in the trillions. 】
[No, do you include all their sales into their net worth?]
[That’s true, not all of them can get it no matter how much money is sold.]
[The combined worth of the people on both sides seems to be about the same as Zhang Zhong alone...]
[Oh, I envy the students of Shizhong College for being able to see them alive.]
[There are also students from Jiangyang University.]
