After rebirth, I became a great writer.

Chapter 220 Wen Hao Also Has Curiosity (Happy New Year Everyone!)

Since ancient times, businessmen have pursued profit, politicians have pursued power, and literati have pursued fame.

People in each circle have their own principles and pursuits, just like a doggerel said in the previous life.

Since ancient times, whoever wants to cultivate fame and wealth has always been at odds with each other. Officials live and die in the court, businessmen use tricks for silver, stage actors show their flesh, literati fight for their names one by one, Mo laughs at fame and fortune in the world of mortals, only complains about being in the world of mortals
For Hong Tao, Li Laoyou and the others, the only thing that can make them win is beauty and fame.

They are all high-level intellectuals, and without exception, they are all professors and scholars, so there is no problem in assigning them to the circle of literati, and it can even be said that they have a relatively high status in the circle of literati.

The ancients said that a literati must have a strong character, and generally should not do things like the red-faced and thick-necked things that old man Li and Deputy Director Ma are arguing with, but since they are in the world, no one can guarantee that they really have no desires and desires.

Even those great literati who claim to be of high realm actually love fame, but their pursuit is higher, and they don't look down on petty fame and small profits.
Chen Tianhong is like becoming such a literati, writing books as a great writer, and seeking eternal fame in this world.

It's just that Wanshiming is not so easy, it needs to be accumulated step by step, and he has only taken a few steps now.

When Chen Tianhong pushed open the door of box 301, he almost thought he had come to the wrong place.

I saw a few elderly people over half a century old, each with red faces, thick necks, and hands and feet, arguing about something.

And although they were arguing with each other, they had a common goal, and this goal was Hong Tao who was sitting in the front seat.

Hong Tao didn't have the majesty of the dean of the department at the moment, half of his right sleeve was already rolled up, spitting stars were flying all over the sky, and he had the aura of Zhuge Liangyu to fight against the Confucians.

It's just that after they saw Chen Tianhong, the box fell silent instantly, still dead silent
Close the door, everyone is about the same age, and they have been friends for more than ten years. If they quarrel with each other, no one will feel that there is something wrong with their image.

But in front of outsiders, especially in front of students and juniors, they all pay great attention to their own image.

The awkward atmosphere in the box didn't last long. In fact, when Chen Tianhong saw Hong Tao and the others arguing, he had already retreated immediately.

To be honest, he has seen this kind of scene more than once, and even encountered the elders arguing in front of him, so he knows how to resolve the embarrassment.

After counting silently for 30 seconds outside the concierge, Chen Tianhong knocked on the door of the box again, and after a sound of "please come in" came from inside, he re-entered the box.

This time, everyone in the house has returned to normal, each with an extraordinary demeanor, full of elder demeanor.

In fact, Chen Tianhong also knocked on the door just now, but Hong Tao and others were arguing and didn't hear it.
"Student Chen Tianhong, come and sit with me."

Hong Tao greeted Chen Tianhong, there was an empty chair beside him, which was specially reserved for him.

Old Man Li and the others all looked at Chen Tianhong with smiles on their faces, and did not argue with Hong Tao again.

They wanted Chen Tianhong to sit next to them in their hearts, but there was only Hong Tao's empty chair in the box.

There are eight people at a table, and they have seven people themselves.

"Hello, Director Hong, Hello, Director Ma, Professor Li, Professor Wang"

Chen Tianhong did not sit down first, but greeted the old people present politely.

Chen Tianhong could recognize the names of the old people in the box, because they were all well-known professors in Kyoto University.

Of course, this is also related to Chen Tianhong's super memory, he can remember thick books, not to mention names.

When Chen Tianhong said hello, both Hong Tao and old man Li responded kindly, and everyone said something about Chen Tianhong, showing the demeanor of the elders.

They all tacitly forgot what happened in the box a few minutes ago.

"Tianhong, the food will be served soon, you can eat more later, you are a great hero, we have to reward you well, haha."

Hong Tao said cheerfully.

In fact, a few dishes had just been served, but when they were arguing, they left something behind, so they were taken away and served again when Chen Tianhong came.

Chen Tianhong said a few words modestly, he understood what Hong Tao meant by the words "great hero".

The dishes were served quickly, and Chen Tianhong started to eat under Hong Tao's call.

Old man Li and the others also picked up the chopsticks tacitly. Although they all have something to ask, they must let the children eat first!
Ten minutes later, Chen Tianhong burped slightly, and praised the chef. The food on the table was really good, and he ate it very comfortably.

However, his full belch, like a fuse, instantly broke the peace in the box.

"Student Chen Tianhong, let me ask a question! How did you conceive "The Wandering Earth" in the first place! Where did the inspiration come from?"

"I also have a question. Are the poems in "The Wandering Earth" not finished yet? Have you thought about the rest?"

"Student Chen Tianhong, do you have any plans to write the second part of "The Wandering Earth", or the final ending, is it really over?"

"Student Chen Tianhong"

Questions were asked one by one from the mouths of the old people.

Now they look like students with a strong thirst for knowledge, but Chen Tianhong has become a teacher who can answer questions.

And old man Li and deputy director Ma glanced at each other, and sparks burst out at the intersection of their eyes.

The two spoke almost simultaneously.

"Student Chen Tianhong, through "Wandering Planet", I can see that you have great respect for science and technology! This is correct. Science is truth, and truth needs our respect."

"Student Chen Tianhong, your description of human emotions and philosophical thinking in the novel is really a highlight!"

Hearing what Deputy Director Ma and Old Man Li said, Hong Tao almost couldn't help laughing.

I was thinking in my heart.

These two old fellows were still holding it, and they obviously wanted to ask a question, but when they said it, it became a compliment, Chen Tianhong can hear it!
Forget it, you are too embarrassed to ask, then let me do it!

"Tianhong! I see that you divide human beings into "Earth Faction" and "Spaceship Faction" in your book. Which faction do you personally belong to?"

Hong Tao asked with a smile.

His question brightened the eyes of Deputy Director Ma and Old Man Li, and Hong Tao's question was straight to the core.

If Chen Tianhong chooses "Earth School", then his preference must be human emotions.

Because the "Earth faction" is the one who formulated the "Wandering Earth" plan, they took their home planet to wander in the universe, because they couldn't let go of their inner emotions.

Even though the "Wandering Earth" project described in the novel is scientific and rational, in the final analysis, human beings still cannot let go of the home that nurtures their own growth.

If Chen Tianhong chooses the "Spaceship School", then his inclination is entirely scientific and rational.

Leaving aside the novel, from the perspective of scientific reality, the "Wandering Earth" project has no meaning to implement, and it is almost impossible to realize it. There is simply no scientific basis for promoting the escape of a planet.

Even the novel criticizes the "Wandering Earth" plan. The article states that "most of the energy propelling the earth is consumed on useless loads, that is, the material inside the planet's crust", such waste of resources will damage Or the life force of the earth.

To be honest, when the catastrophe of annihilation comes, choosing the spaceship escape plan is the most reasonable and scientific way.

Because from the theoretical analysis of existing science, the spaceship is easier to realize, and it is easier for human beings to survive.

Chen Tianhong originally planned to answer other professors' questions, but after hearing Hong Tao's question, he fell silent.

He knows the meanings of "Earth faction" and "Spaceship faction" better than anyone else. In his previous life, which faction to choose was more suitable for human beings. Can't convince anyone.

At that time, Chen Tianhong chose the "Earth School". The reason for his choice is very simple. The homeland complex of the Orientals
But in the end, it was the "Spaceship School" that prevailed, because the author Liu Cixin said that he was a "Spaceship School" through and through.

Da Liu is a firm supporter of scientific rationality. Anyone who has read "The Wandering Earth" knows that the core setting of the novel is to install engines on the earth and escape from the solar system.

Anyone who has studied physics for several years understands that this kind of setting is impossible, and it can even be said that it is no longer science fiction, but a fairy tale.

Then why did Liu still write like this?
Chen Tianhong also understood it after watching his interview in his previous life, but that statement is not suitable for this world.

And now, Chen Tianhong answered this question in this way.

"From the perspective of disaster and human survival, I am the "Spaceship School", and from the perspective of our culture and personal emotions, I am the "Earth School"."

"you boy"

Hong Tao couldn't help laughing dumbfounded.

Old Man Li and Deputy Director Ma also couldn't laugh or cry. They originally wanted to use Chen Tianhong, the original author's answer, to decide the winner.

In the end, Chen Tianhong came up with a balance for them. Who didn't know that the two factions have their own advantages and disadvantages separately.

Chen Tianhong scratched his head. After seeing everyone's performance, he also felt that his answer was a bit silly.

But it is not easy to choose between scientific rationality and human emotion.

And Chen Tianhong didn't want to do this multiple-choice question either. Children only do multiple-choice questions, and of course adults need all of them!

Of course, this is a joke. Putting aside my personal opinion, just from the meaning of the novel "The Wandering Earth", it is best to have both.

"Actually, I want to write innovative science fiction and write my own stuff. I think we Orientals should have our own style of science fiction, with our exclusive oriental romance, which is no worse than their Western science fiction."

Chen Tianhong expressed his thoughts.

This idea not only comes from the feelings of the previous life, but he also feels the same in this world.

Although Chinese science fiction in this world also has a place in the world, the mainstream science fiction style is also Western style, with a strong Western romanticism.

This is not to say that there is no innovation in domestic science fiction, but there are very few sci-fi romances that can represent oriental characteristics.

Even Cao Xingkui, Chen Tianhong's master, is well-known internationally for his science fiction works, and the quality of several novels even surpasses "The Wandering Earth".

This is because the scientific elements and logic in "The Wandering Earth" are still a bit flawed.

But in terms of the core idea, "The Wandering Earth" has more oriental characteristics.

It can be known only from "Take the earth home to wander", and this can only be written by Chinese people, and Westerners will definitely not be able to write it.

Moreover, it can also be known from historical and cultural traditions that in the face of the catastrophe of the great flood, Westerners directly chose to abandon their homes and escape on Noah’s Ark, while Easterners chose to stick to their homes and manage the floods. "Homeland Plot".

From this point of view, "The Wandering Earth" is a science fiction novel that can fully represent oriental characteristics.

As soon as Chen Tianhong's words came out, not only Hong Tao, but also all the old people in the box looked solemn. At this moment, their eyes when they looked at Chen Tianhong were different.

If Cao Xingkui could hear these words from his apprentice, he would definitely burst into tears, because what Chen Tianhong said undoubtedly expressed the dreams of all science fiction writers in China.

Huaxia's science fiction can't form inherent oriental characteristics, which has been criticized by Westerners.

Although they respect Cao Xingkui and other sci-fi masters, it does not mean that they respect oriental sci-fi. Because your oriental sci-fi is not as romantic as our western ones, and is more attractive.

Although Hong Tao and the others didn't write science fiction novels, their feelings were not as deep as that of professional science fiction writers like Cao Xingkui, but they agreed with Chen Tianhong's philosophy!

yes!We are a huge country in China, and our eastern romanticism is not inferior to your western ones at all, and it can even be said to surpass it. For example, can your fantasy novels be written like ours in China!
In the same way, the difference between fantasy and science fiction is only one word, and science fiction is nothing more than science plus fantasy.

Fantasy can be compared to your western ones, and science fiction is naturally no worse!

"Well said! Well said! Student Chen Tianhong, it's very good that you have this idea, no, it's very good! I look forward to your science fiction novels going to the world in the future, bringing our oriental characteristics to those in the west. Let people take a look and let them understand what an oriental sci-fi romance is!"

Hong Tao yelled out first, the more he looks at Chen Tianhong now, the more he likes it.

Old man Li, Deputy Director Ma, and other professors also praised it.

yes!Scientific rationality and human emotions are not important at the moment. The important thing is that "The Wandering Earth" is a romantic science fiction novel exclusively for us Orientals, and it is not inferior to Western romantic science fiction novels.

Even they all produced "The Wandering Earth" and won the first place in the domestic college student literature competition. This is the most important thing and the most gratifying thing to be able to go on the world stage in the future.

But, you have to eat one bite at a time, and Lu has to walk step by step. Let's get No.1 in the college competition first.

In the headquarters building of the Writers Association, dozens of people are busy reviewing manuscripts in more than a dozen large houses.

In addition to the members of the Writers Association Headquarters, there are also some people selected by the Education Bureau. Just for the sake of fairness, the people selected this time are not selected from various colleges and universities.

And they are only responsible for reviewing the manuscripts of the colleges and universities around Kyoto. As for the manuscripts of other provinces, they will be reviewed online in the Education Bureau.

Fortunately, the surrounding colleges and universities are far from the headquarters of the Writers Association. All the manuscripts did not arrive at the same time, otherwise the room would be piled up like a mountain.

It's just that the workload is still heavy, so after they finished their lunch, they immediately started reviewing manuscripts.

The competition system is the same as that of the middle school students' literature competition. There is a team leader in each room. The team members are in charge of the preliminary review, and the team leader is in charge of the review. After the review, there will be a final review.

The final judging is no longer in these rooms, and there is a special team in charge of the final judging, and the final ranking is also decided by them.

The manuscript from Kyoto University has arrived here and has been sent to the first large room on the 8th floor. Coincidentally, the manuscript from Guanghua University has also arrived and has also been sent to this room.

It cannot be said to be a complete coincidence, because Kyoto University and Guanghua University are on the same route, and it is normal to be able to catch up together.

When the team members in the room were reviewing the manuscript, upstairs in their spacious office, an old man wearing reading glasses and over seventy years old was holding a book and reading it.

The old man has a strong bookish air, and there are wise eyes in his cloudy eyes.

If Chen Tianhong were here, he would recognize this old man as Zhu Yanlin whom he met once in Zhenhua Middle School, that great writer who is called a modern literary giant.

Of course, this is just a respectful title for him by outsiders, Zhu Yanlin has never called himself a literary hero.

In his words, his achievements have not yet reached the level of a literary giant, that is to say, he is just an ordinary writer.

For this reason, there is also a meme circulating on the Internet, called ordinary writer Zhu Yanlin
However, this stalk is different from the ordinary family old horse in the previous life. Zhu Yanlin's stalk is a compliment.

"Jingle Bell."

The alarm clock on the desk beeped.

Hearing the sound, Zhu Yanlin closed the book in his hand and took off his reading glasses.

The clock pointed to : in the afternoon. Every time this time came, Zhu Yanlin would squint for a while. This was a habit he had developed, just like reading books every day.

But today Zhu Yanlin did not choose to rest, he got up and moved his aching body.

"It's not good to be old! I've only read the book for more than an hour, and I'm exhausted."

Sighing slightly, he walked towards the door.

After he opened the door, the opposite door also opened, and a man about 30 years old came out, his secretary Xiao Yan.

"President Zhu, this time is your lunch break! Do you have anything to do? I'll help you."

Xiao Yan was a little curious. Zhu Yanlin's lunch break habit would not be easily changed unless something happened.

"No, no, today isn't the day for college students to compete! The manuscripts from dozens of colleges and universities around Kyoto have also arrived at this point, I'll go and have a look."

Zhu Yanlin waved his hand indifferently, and walked towards the elevator.

Hearing this, Xiao Yan became more suspicious.

He knew that today was the day for college students to accept manuscripts, and many writers downstairs were busy reviewing them.

This competition is quite famous throughout the country, but with Zhu Yanlin's status, it shouldn't be too difficult for him to review the manuscript.

At most, wait until the final results come out, and there are particularly excellent manuscripts, such as the last "Village Teacher" that will be sent to Zhu Yanlin and other presidents for selection.

However, doubts are doubts, Xiao Yan hurriedly followed.

Zhu Yanlin is getting old, and there is no shortage of people around him. If he falls and touches him, he will be a sinner.

In fact, what Xiao Yan didn't know was that Zhu Yanlin chose to take a look, not because he went to review the manuscript himself, but because of his curiosity.

To be precise, it was for one person's manuscript, as for who this person is, needless to say!

In fact, Chen Tianhong is the one Zhu Yanlin remembers deeply among college students, not only because of the "Country Teacher", but also because of the shortest novel.

At that time, Zhu Yanlin used "My God, the queen is pregnant, who did it?" These few short words made the president of England speechless.

It can be said that Chen Tianhong's short story not only made Zhu Yanlin angry, but also earned face for middle school students in Huaxia Kingdom.

Because of this, Zhu Yanlin wanted to see if Chen Tianhong's entry could bring him another surprise.
