Chapter 755 Narrative Time Distance (Supplement)

Zhang Junwei was not the only one who rubbed his eyes. The others followed Zhang Junwei's eyes and looked at Zhang Zhong. After seeing Zhang Zhong, their reactions were no different from Zhang Junwei's.

"Long time no see, don't come here without any problems." Zhang Zhong took the initiative to say hello.

When the others heard Zhang Chong speak, they felt even more like they were dreaming.

It was Tong Can who reacted first, stood up and waved to Zhang Zhong, "Boss, come and sit here."

But Zhang Zhong waved his hand and said to the person on the farthest side, "Please squeeze in and leave some room for us."

Although I felt that it was not good for Zhang Zhong to sit on the periphery, but after hearing what he said, the people in this row still squeezed involuntarily.

After the seat became vacant, Zhang Zhong pulled Xu Yuhan to sit down.

"What were you discussing just now?"

Zhang Junwei also came back to his senses at this moment, holding a small blackboard and said, "Some members reported that the Green Field Bookstore is a bit small, and each reading session cannot accommodate too many people, and many members who want to participate in the reading session cannot get in. .So I will take this opportunity to ask everyone for their opinions and see if there is any solution."

"That's it." Zhang nodded emphatically, "Then change to a bigger place."

"We think so, so now we are discussing where to change. Originally, Qi Lili suggested that everyone can go to the Expectation Exhibition Hall, where the exhibition area of ​​works is large, and it can also contribute an income to the exhibition hall. But I think The cost of going to the exhibition hall is too high," Zhang Junwei said.

"Well, it's really not necessary." Zhang Zhong nodded, and then he thought of the themed bookstore that Qin Cheng had mentioned before, and said, "Since I'm also a member, I should also contribute. How about it, I'll help you later. You contact a place, Zhang Junwei, you can talk about whether it can be done specifically. "

Zhang Junwei smiled and said, "That's good to be brave."

There is no need to think about the location of the reading club for the time being, but Zhang Junwei doesn't know how to carry out the meeting of the old members at the moment.

In any case, he never thought that Zhang Zhong would really come.

Two months ago, Zhang Junwei called Zhang Zhong to talk about the quotations, and they chatted casually about this gathering of old members.

At that time, Zhang Zhong did say with a smile that he would come and take a look if he had time, but Zhang Junwei thought he was just saying it casually. After all, Zhang Zhong is so busy now, and I heard that he couldn’t be invited to many events, so how could he come here? Come to some old members party.

It is also because Zhang Zhong would come, so Zhang Junwei expected in advance that today's gathering will first discuss the location of the reading club, and then everyone will talk about "Lord of the Flies" and the Goncourt Literature Prize, and then talk about the new book "The Call of the Wild". Afterwards, exchange reading experiences just like ordinary reading clubs.

But now that Zhang Zhong's deity is here, it seems a little inappropriate to discuss these things.

It was Tong Can who responded quickly, and he said with a smile, "Just now, didn't you all say that the boss won the award and you were very happy? Now that the boss is here, why are you silent? Come on, everyone, hurry up and say something auspicious." what."

Zhang Zhong rolled his eyes, "It's auspicious, but you have a lot of crooked ideas. Since it's a reunion of old friends, everyone should relax a bit. Just treat me as member No. [-] today."

After speaking, he also took out the nameplate that was uniformly issued by the reading club before.

Seeing that Zhang Zhong still kept the nameplate from that time, everyone was a little moved, and they all took out their own nameplates.

In fact, their batch of nameplates were out of print, and later the nameplates of the book club changed again, both in material and design, which were better than the first batch they had.

But even if this batch of nameplates is far behind, everyone still regards them as treasures, because they have special meanings.

Zhang Zhong looked at the nameplate in the hand of the fat man next to him, and said with a smile, "Brother Hu, do you still remember three times three wins nine?"

This fat man was Hu Jingzhi who was sitting next to Zhang Zhong at that time. I still remember that Hu Jingzhi was sitting next to Zhang Zhong at the first study session. At first, this guy was taciturn, and Zhang Zhong thought he was a mature and prudent person. Thinking of finally finding out that he is a talkative and funny guy.

Hu Jingzhi touched his head, "Remember, remember, three times three wins nine."

He didn't expect Zhang Zhong to still remember himself after a few years, which made him a little excited.

However, times have changed, and now that he already knows Zhang Zhong's identity, he naturally has no way to joke with him like before.

"Boss, you don't know, these days I have been miserably hurt by you. Our teacher talks about your works every day, such as criticism of literary ethics, symbolic meaning, and structural subjectivity, which makes my head dizzy. "After all, Tong Can is familiar with Zhang Zhong. Seeing that everyone was a little cautious, he took the initiative to find a topic.

Zhang Zhong looked at Tong Can with a sad face, and thought to himself that Tong Can deserved it all. He went to Jinling Normal University to study for a graduate student for nothing, and he also took the postgraduate entrance examination for modern literature.
Tong Can loves reading more than ordinary people, but his literary background is not solid.Literature majors don’t read more books than anyone else. Many people who like to study really study literature-related majors, which will definitely subvert the three views.

In Zhang Zhong's view, studying literature majors will definitely make people feel that reading has become a boring thing for a period of time at the beginning.Only after I really learn it will I find the joy of reading again, but it is another kind of happiness.

There are also two other literature-related majors present here, and they all feel the same when they hear Tong Can say this. One of them, Qiao Shan, said, "My graduation thesis is related to "A Murder Case That Was Publicized Beforehand". I've been looking for information, but it's really hard to find information about the narrative, and I also have a particularly headache."

Zhang Zhong raised his chin and asked, "Have you ever heard of Narrative Time?"

"No." Qiao Shan shook his head, and the others followed suit, because it was the first time they heard this word.

Their reaction was within Zhang Zhong's expectation. In fact, the concept of narrative time distance was proposed by Genette in his "Narrative Discourse".

"Narrative time interval is the comparison between story time and narrative time. According to this comparative relationship, time interval can be divided into four basic forms: summary, scene, pause, omission..."

Because Qiao Shan mentioned "A Murder Case Publicized in Advance" and also mentioned materials that are convenient for narrative, Zhang Zhong picked some things from "Narrative Discourse" that he thought were useful to tell Qiao Shan and the others.

However, considering that this was just an ordinary gathering, and not everyone here was a student of literature, he didn't talk too much, but just talked about some important conceptual things.
