In the classroom office of the history department, an old professor wearing a sweater shirt pushed open the door, holding two freshly baked printers in his hands and said: "Lao Yang, your student is writing history again, and it is still the Ming Dynasty!"

Yang Xuancong was originally correcting the small essay in class, but now when he raised his head, he took off the reading glasses on the bridge of his nose by the way.

Although he didn't say his name directly, he knew exactly who his colleague was talking about.

I don't know how many people can write books and create, but now when it comes to writers at Yenching University, the first thing that comes to mind is Zhang Chu.

The reason is very simple, in the past two or three years, this product has been the most popular, and it happens to be studying at Yenching University, which is heavier than the Yanda label on those alumni who have graduated.

When Zhang Chufa posted the first chapter, a student handed me his mobile phone to read. Yang Xuancong had an indescribable pride in his words, although Zhang Chu's success had little to do with him, but it was a happy thing to have such a student.

Du Junjie waved the A4 paper in his hand and said, "This is still printed out by the teaching assistant for me today, and I really don't know what is going on with that Weibo." The first thing I asked him to come over every day was to help me print out today's manuscript. Now that you've read it, what do you think of his book "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty"?"

Yang Xuancong knew that Zhang Chu's literary skills and knowledge of history were very solid, and he could also open up a new path in addition to the traditional way of narrating history.

I've only read two chapters now, and it's too early to say that it's too early to comment or something.

"I think he's doing a good job, and maybe it's going to become a pop culture phenomenon. However, at present, the content he wrote is very interesting, it is not a joke at all, it is a real historical work, and it can't even be called, because it is almost completely faithful to the history of the Ming Dynasty, but it is described in a narrative way that is more acceptable to modern young people. ”

Jokes about history, they, old professors, have actually seen too much!

But Zhang Chu's thing is all official history, but it is just good-looking, so he was immediately moved.

The official history is actually the most difficult to write, but Yang Xuancong didn't expect that Zhang Chu would be able to sort out the priorities from the vast history of the Ming Dynasty at a young age.

This makes it very clear and easy to read, and the reader doesn't look tired at all.

If it weren't for the foundation laid by the last "Fifteenth Year of Wanli", I'm afraid it wouldn't have been so easy when writing this book.

Probably not enjoyable, Yang Xuancong laughed at himself after taking a sip of tea: "I know that I am not the material for writing books, but I have read a lot of books." His writing is very vivid, which is probably the vitality of young people. Each chapter is not very long, about one or two thousand words to form a story. It may be that there have been a lot of suspense written recently, and Zhang Chu, this kid, actually set up a suspense at the end of the chapter, a suspense waiting to be solved, so that people can read history and read a bit of suspense!"

This method of setting up suspense and creating gimmicks is very effective, and the reader is constantly fresh and active, and the reader pays more attention to the next chapter.

As soon as the praise is raised, it is simply endless, and I can't stop at all!

Du Junjie didn't expect Yang Xuancong to open the conversation box and inadvertently show off this student, and it seemed that he was very satisfied with Zhang Chu.

Other people's children are good for everything.

"I have to say that this kid really has the potential to be a great writer, and I think he has studied the hearts and minds of readers very thoroughly, and knows what readers want to see. Du Junjie can't wait to have such a junior, in that case, he can really brag with his good friends for half a lifetime!

War, officialdom, the fate of the characters and the hearts of the characters are all favorite topics and elements of ordinary readers, and although Zhang Chu has not even finished writing the first emperor now, he can already see some clues.

With a strong personal emotional tendency to describe specific historical scenes, and will also publish some interesting and resonant discussions, so that the characters and images portrayed are particularly vivid and prominent.

Yang Xuancong agrees with his old friend's point of view, "This kid just has too much knowledge, and I'm worried that he is a little knowledgeable but not sophisticated." If you write some works on any subject, you can get good reviews. But it is also possible to cause you to be proficient in everything, such as writing about foreign horrors some time ago, which is a bit of a waste of talent. It's good that he's back on the right track, otherwise he would have wasted his talent!"

"You old ghost is obviously too demanding, he is still a student, how can he imagine those thick literary works out of thin air without enough life experience and experience. What kind of book to write at what age, now that he is young, it doesn't hurt to try more. ”

"Co-authoring me right?"

Du Junjie nodded, "That's right." You are too rigid in your thinking, or you ask Zhang Chu to write "Alive", can he write it?"

Yang Xuancong didn't agree, "I didn't let him write "Alive", but I think something terrifying is not of much value, and people will forget it after reading it." Instead of wasting time writing about this kind of thing, it is better to write more works like "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty" and "The Fifteenth Year of Wanli" that can popularize historical knowledge to the public. ”

"You definitely haven't watched "The Silence of the Lambs" for a long time, and if you do, maybe you'll change your mind. Du Junjie looked at his watch, the next class was ten minutes away, and he couldn't continue to chat, "Even I've read this book, but you haven't read it yet, tsk"

"Okay, okay, I'm going to see if that book is as good as you say. ”

Yang Xuancong looked at his friend who turned around and left, "It's okay for people to leave, leave the things you printed out." ”

"Haven't you seen it?"

"It's okay to look at it again. ”

The door of the office was gently closed, Yang Xuancong got up and went to get a cup of tea, he has never liked to watch horror, he felt that it was completely scary, there was no nutritional value, and it was not worth wasting time.

Even if it is Zhang Chu's new book, even if it is well received by the outside world, it is still standing still!

Now he is a little curious, what kind of horror will it be that Du Junjie, who has always been picky, can't help but praise, is it really unique?

As an old professor who was hired back after retirement, Yang Xuancong is not busy with work every day, and he knows the courses he lectures well, and he just lacks some things to pass the time.

So he put his reading glasses back on, ready to finish commenting on these small articles in his hand first, and when he went to the faculty cafeteria for lunch, he bought a copy of "The Silence of the Lambs" in Zhang Chukai's bookstore to take a look.
