Grandpa's great writer

Chapter 572

Zhang Chong Day in Cupertino is the only day commemorated by Zhang Chong's name so far.

In fact, many regions in the United States will set up some days to commemorate certain things and certain people. Generally, a certain day is used as a commemoration.

But Zhang Chongri in Cupertino is a little different, because except for November [-], [-], Cupertino will commemorate this day every year on November [-]. Organize related activities.

Maybe this kind of festival won't last long, but as long as Zhang Zhong can maintain his influence, the people of Cupertino will never forget Zhang Zhong.

And the thing of influence may still exist after Zhang Zhong's death, it depends on how far Zhang Zhong can go.

Although the establishment of Zhang Chongri in Cupertino has also attracted the attention of netizens, but during this time everyone is mainly concerned about Zhang Zhong's new book "Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea".

After reading this book, many book lovers first feel that this is not a science fiction novel, it looks more like a science enlightenment book, although it has a science fiction color, but it is more about the popularization of some scientific knowledge.

But unlike ordinary science popularization books, this book has unusual magic power.

Well-known publisher Qian Peixin wrote a long reading review after reading this book.

In addition to expressing his love for the book, he also analyzed why the book is popular.

"First of all, because it is Zhang Zhong's work."

In Qian Peixin's book review, this is his first sentence, which is very straightforward and sounds quite humorous.

But this is also true, because this book was published by Zhang Chong, so regardless of the content inside, there are countless readers around the world who will buy the word Zhang Zhong.

This is the celebrity effect, but also the brand effect.

And this brand effect is built up from previous works of high quality.

After shaking his wits, Qian Peixin began to analyze seriously.

"The point that touched me the most is that Zhang Zhong took readers on a thrilling underwater journey in "Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea". Before talking about this journey, I have to say that the appearance of this book It is very likely that it has something to do with Zhang Zhong’s previous experience in Paris. This summer, when Zhang Zhong received the Carrier Pigeon Award, he went to Paris. I think it is impossible for him not to appreciate the style of the Seine River.”

"Coincidentally, the length 'li' in this book is the ancient li in French history. The length varies from province to province, and there are also ancient post li, ancient land li and ancient sea li. In the book It is used in the ancient land. I also specially checked the information. There was an experiment on a submarine on the Seine River in 1800. Although the submarine did not have a name, I think from the content of this book, Zhang Zhong’s The inspiration should come from that experiment, maybe he learned about it while swimming in the Seine, and he was inspired by it."

"Great writers can always find inspiration from some small things in life. Perhaps the person who told Zhang Zhong this story did not think that Zhang Zhong could write a science fiction masterpiece with hundreds of thousands of words. In the novel, the parrot The Conch departed from the border waters of China, entered the Pacific Ocean, Oceania, then reached the Indian Ocean, passed through the Red Sea and the Arabian Tunnel, and came to the Mediterranean Sea. The submarine passed through the Strait of Gibraltar, along the coast of Africa, and headed straight to the Antarctic region. Then it went north along the coast of Latin America, and followed The warm current comes to the North Sea and finally disappears in a maelstrom off the west coast of Norway.

During the nearly ten-month seabed journey, the Nautilus, with an average speed of [-] kilometers per hour, allows readers to follow Captain Li Mo and his "guests" to enjoy the ever-changing and strange landscapes and various creatures on the seabed. "

"The whole voyage was full of climaxes. I have to say that even when I read this book, I was thrilled by the author's writing style. Undersea hunting, visiting underwater forests, visiting the ruins of Atlantis under the sea, salvaging the treasures of Spanish sunken ships, Witnessing the funeral of the Coral Kingdom, fighting giant spiders, sharks, and octopuses, and fighting back against the siege of the indigenous people, all these scenes are deeply memorable to me.”

"After reading it, I can't help feeling that Zhang Zhong's techniques are so consummate. He used magical techniques to take us to the farthest polar region, the deepest trench, and let us see the biggest pearl..."

"He always puts the protagonist in the most dangerous and desperate situation, shows us the power of nature, and makes us feel great spiritual and aesthetic enjoyment while being strongly stimulated and shocked."

"From a structural point of view, "Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea" is definitely an excellent suspense novel. The novel starts from the "monsters" appearing on the sea, frequently attacking ships of various countries, stirring up people's panic, until the Nautilus is swallowed by the Atlantic vortex, the whole novel The novel is suspenseful and interlocking. From the beginning to the end..."

Qian Peixin's book review is very long, and it contains a lot of spoilers, and he also marked the words "contains spoilers, be careful" in the title.

The analysis of this book review has been quite thorough, and the selling point of this book is not science fiction.

In a sense, it is more like "The Adventures of Hal Roger", taking readers to understand those interesting "knowledge" in an adventurous way.

Of course, much of this knowledge is not scientific knowledge, but fantasy knowledge.

When readers read it, they even feel that the things described in the book are true. The reason for this feeling is that most of the things described in this book are true, and some of the false ones are in these real things. built on the content.

In Qian Peixin's book review, he also focused on explaining the description techniques used by Zhang Zhong this time.

In such a novel, if you want to make the story fascinating, description is the most important thing.

However, Zhang Zhong used a photographic description method in "Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea". Some parts read like a description of an object in a museum. ".

In addition, there are some descriptions that are tireless in detail, showing the author's rigorous attitude, and also giving people a sense of immersive reality.

As we all know, Zhang Zhong has always been a master at playing with writing techniques, and some special writing techniques can always be seen in his works.

The pinnacle is "A Premeditated Murder".

Therefore, it is only natural that Zhang Zhong, who was able to write "A Premeditated Murder", can achieve the expressiveness of "Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea".

"Zhang Zhong just once again took us on a magical journey with his wonderful writing techniques and rigorous scientific attitude."
