Chapter 632 I Don't Care About What Others Need

Zhang Zhong sat next to Yang Fengxia. At the beginning, Gosling and Yang Fengxia were talking, while he was sitting on the ground with the old god.

Because of the language problem, both sides spoke at a very slow pace. The original words were tedious, but after translation they felt longer.

At this time, the language advantage turned into a disadvantage. Others tended to concentrate on listening to the translation, but Zhang Zhong listened to what Gosling said once and had to listen to the translator repeat it, which was very boring.

After a while, Gosling suddenly looked at Zhang Zhong and said, "Mr. Zhang Zhong came to the "Literary News" this time, do you have any special feelings?"

Zhang Zhong did not answer Gosling's question immediately because he had to wait for the translator to translate Gosling's words into Chinese.

He really doesn't need it, but that doesn't mean others don't.

After the translation in the headset was over, Zhang Zhong said with a smile, "I feel that your newspaper is a very humane workplace, and it pays great attention to the physical and mental health of its employees. When I saw the gym and game room just now, I even went to the newspaper The urge to come to work."

Gosling said with a smile, "If you really want to work for the "Literary News", I am willing to give up my position to you."

Zhang Zhong waved his hands again and again, "Then I won't be able to work here. But after this time, I can also understand why "Literary News" is so popular all over the world and has an amazing influence. Only by paying attention to the physical and mental health of employees like this Only a healthy enterprise can..."

Just now he was slandering Yang Fengxia and their business bragging was a bit boring, but now that it's his turn, he can't help it, and he still brags.

After he finished speaking, Carlisle who was sitting across from him suddenly said, "pz, it seems that you haven't released a work that is close to people's life for a long time. Is it because you have too many commercial activities now that you have no time to take care of them?"

This question was very straightforward, and everyone looked at Zhang Zhong, wanting to see how he would answer.

Zhang Chong said with a smile, "My recent books are very close to the people, because I am an ordinary person myself. As an ordinary person, there is no way to write works that are divorced from the people."

He felt that what he said was right. Whether it was "The Code of Shanghe Tu at Qingming Festival" or "The Da Vinci Code", they were all books that ordinary readers loved to read. Since they were books that ordinary readers loved to read, why did they say that they were not close to people?

Of course, Carlyle may not take these popular novels seriously.

He probably wanted to ask Zhang Chong why there had been no realistic works for so long.

Carlisle added, "I think Xu Sanguan is very close to the people, while Cui Cui is a little out of touch with the people. To the ordinary life of ordinary people, Xu Sanguan is real and flesh and blood, while Cui Cui is It’s like a castle hanging in the air, you can’t see it clearly, let alone touch it. I’m not denying a certain kind of literature, but what people need more is to see the reality clearly, whether it’s the past, the future, or the present. "

Zhang Zhongcai heard Carlisle say a few words, but he could clearly feel that the old man was very stubborn.

What other people need, in fact, none of them can be sure.

He said that he would not deny a certain type of literature, but he was denying Romantic literature every single word.

Zhang Zhong had no intention of arguing with him, and he was quite old, even a few words of argument would not change his mind.

"Maybe I can't write what people need. I just want to write what I think, but I don't think too much about what other people need or what the society needs."

Such a non-salty sentence made Carlisle somewhat at a loss as to what to say.

He told Zhang Chong that romanticism is unworkable and useless to the society and the people. Only by presenting the reality to readers can it be beneficial to the society and the people.

Then Zhang Zhong replied, "I don't care about others, as long as I enjoy writing myself."

The issue cannot be discussed at all.

It's like a teacher ran to the students and told him that you wrote this question incorrectly, and that question was written incorrectly, and the college entrance examination may be very disadvantageous.Then the student told him that he didn't care about the college entrance examination, that he just had fun studying, and it didn't matter whether he did well in the exam or not, he just enjoyed the learning process.

Maybe Carlisle will have the idea of ​​"angry for not fighting, mourn for his misfortune", but at least for now, he has no way to continue talking about this topic.

Gosling said at this time, "Our newspaper recently..."

When he spoke at this time, he naturally wanted to change the topic and not let the seminar be left alone.

For the next period of time, the seminar proceeded in an orderly manner, and the cue was tense a lot, but they were all simple questions, and he answered them casually, but the previous situation did not reappear.

Until the end of the seminar, the delegation ate in the cafeteria of the "Literary News", and then they returned to the hotel.

Tomorrow they were going to Columbia University, which was even closer to their hotel.

At night, Yang Fengxia sat in Zhang Zhong's room for a while.

"I didn't expect Carlisle to discuss such a direct topic with you." Yang Fengxia said.

Zhang Chong smiled and said, "This old man is quite cute, a bit straightforward, but not hostile."

"This is natural. After all, he is also a master of American realism. He may have a more direct temper, but he still has the measure he should have. Of course, your words also made him unhappy, otherwise he would not have stopped talking to you later. .”

"Differences do not conspire with each other. Although we haven't talked much, he already knows that I don't support realist literature like him, so naturally he has no interest in me." Zhang Zhong said.

"Well, you are right. I guess he also felt it was a pity. After all, he was very optimistic about your "Xu Sanguan Selling Blood". Maybe he also hoped that you could write more stories like "Xu Sanguan Selling Blood" "Same work."

"I know this, but there is no way, I can't create because of his preferences...

Yang Fengxia nodded and stood up, "You worked hard today, go to bed early tonight, we have another stop tomorrow, this stop is not as simple as today."

"Well, you should go to bed early, too."

After Yang Fengxia left, Zhang Zhong went to turn off the computer and was about to go to bed.

As Yang Fengxia said, the station starting tomorrow will not be as simple as it is today.

They only stayed at the "Literary News" newspaper office for half a day, and after a random visit, they held a seminar.

But at Columbia University, they have a lot more to do, visit the campus, hold seminars, press conferences, academic exchanges...

And the time is not one day, but two and a half days, because half a day is arranged just for a press meeting.
