Grandpa's great writer

Chapter 387 People are alive, they must be ready to endure tribulations at any time

After Qin Ying from Xin'an News sat down, Zhang Zhong ordered another reporter.

"Hi Zhang Zhong, can you tell us what kind of book "The Ordinary World" is? There are many speculations about this book."

"This book will be available to you in three days, and I think this question will be answered soon."

"But most of the readers don't even want to wait for a few days. Of course I understand your concerns. I want to tell us about the subject matter of this novel. There should be no problem."

Zhang Zhong thought for a while and said, "This book is very long."

He didn't say anything after he finished speaking, but the reporters waited for him to continue.

Zhang Chong smiled, it seemed that he couldn't be fooled without talking too much.

"The length of this book is very long because it is a panoramic novel. My original intention in writing this book is to show readers the warmth between ordinary people. I believe this book is warm , It will also bring a warm experience to readers."

"May I ask, what is the background of this book?"

"Mid 70s to mid 80s."

"So, this is a realistic novel? Or is it similar to the previous "Xu Sanguan Selling Blood", a new historical novel? You just mentioned warmth, which means that this book may be Is it a romantic novel like "Border Town"?"

Zhang Zhong laughed, "You have a lot of questions."

The reporter also laughed, "I'm sorry, I couldn't help asking all the questions."

"This book has a realistic way of expression, and that's all I can tell you. I'm afraid you won't know until Xiaonian, when you go to the bookstore and buy a copy."

"Okay, I will definitely buy it when the time comes."

"Well, thank you in advance for your support."

……

The press conference was going on steadily. These reporters were still of a certain level. At least they didn't ask some gossip questions. They all revolved around Zhang Zhong's works.

Until the end, Hu Rui, who had never raised his hand, did.

In fact, Zhang Zhong saw Hu Rui as soon as he came in.

Liu Ming didn't even tell Zhang Chong what Hu Rui looked like, but Zhang Chong recognized him at a glance. After all, all the reporters present here were young journalists around 30 years old, and only one of them was full of white hair. Among the other reporters, there was an air of independence. From time to time, other reporters would look at him, obviously he was a special person.

Seeing Hu Rui raised his hand, the other reporters stopped raising their hands.

Zhang Zhong sat on it and said, "Please tell me."

Hu Rui held a pen, pushed his glasses, and said, "Mr. Zhang Zhong, I have noticed that when you talked about the new work "Ordinary World", you mentioned a word-panoramic, as the name suggests, panoramic novels attempt to show If it is a panorama of society, then it must not only be a cross-section of space, nor can the interlaced conflicts of characters constitute a panorama, but the conflicts of space and time that can constitute a panorama. I am a little puzzled, since "Ordinary World" shows the relationship between ordinary people How can it cover all aspects of society, and how do you deal with the relationship between them?"

Regarding Hu Rui's question, on the one hand, Zhang Zhong felt that he had something to say, but on the other hand, he felt that the question was really meaningless.

As Zhang Zhong said before, this question will be revealed in three days. There is absolutely no need for him to ask at this time. Could it be that he is also the kind of person who can't wait for three days?
impossible.

Thinking about it carefully, maybe Hu Rui didn't come here to get some answers as a reporter, but simply wanted to discuss it with Zhang Zhong. Even if Zhang Zhong didn't answer, it didn't matter.

Zhang Zhong looked at his phone, and with a little time left, he said with a smile, "I think the answer to this question, this gentleman himself knows that this society is closely related to everyone in the society, and he would never say that Who can break away from society. So even ordinary people have a close relationship with society, and seeing the shadow of big events from small people is not difficult in itself."

Hu Rui smiled, "When "Xu Sanguan Sells Blood" came out, Wang Yi from the scar school once said that "Xu Sanguan Sells Blood" is a re-exploration of "scar literature", and it does not break away from The category of 'scar literature'. What I want to ask is, will this "Ordinary World" also be a re-exploration of 'scar literature'? A journalist colleague mentioned warmth earlier, and he was asking whether it is related to "Border Town" The same romantic literature, but I have a different opinion, or it will be a book inscribed with suffering like "Xu Sanguan Selling Blood". Some writers, when embodying positive emotions such as warmth and strength , often accompanied by suffering.”

Zhang Zhong also smiled, "Do you think Mr. Wang Yi is right?"

Hu Rui raised his eyebrows, "That's why I want to ask you."

"You are right, but you are not right. It is true that many works that express positive emotions are often accompanied by suffering, but this does not mean that the author deliberately set up suffering in order to highlight positive emotions. In fact, in reality , Suffering and warmth are twin brothers. If a person’s life is smooth and everything is random, I don’t think there will be such a thing as warmth in his world. Even if there is, he can’t feel it. So, these Writers write about reality, not about suffering."

Hu Rui thought for a while, didn't say anything, but clapped his hands lightly twice.

Zhang Zhong said, "That's the end of today's press conference. There are still many readers waiting for me. If there is a chance, let's continue the discussion."

After he finished speaking, Liu Ming walked over to take the microphone, "Everyone, don't rush to leave. We have prepared tea for you next door. It's very cold, please drink some hot tea before leaving."

Liu Ming and Xu Yang were responsible for entertaining the reporters. Zhang Zhong and Chen Qing were led by the staff to the signing hall.

Book fans who had been waiting for a long time saw Zhang Zhong appear, and cheers erupted in the hall.

The people in the back didn't see Zhang Zhong's person, but they cheered after hearing the cheers in front.

Zhang Chong waved to them and said hello, then said to Chen Qing, "Let's get started."

Chen Qing nodded and talked to the staff, and then the team let a few people in, and the autograph session officially started.

Just like last time, Zhang Zhong gave a special lottery to the first book friend.

He was still thinking about the discussion with Hu Rui just now in his mind, so he wrote down casually: People are alive, and they must be ready to endure hardships at any time.
