Chapter 678 - Different
[A long time ago, about 20 years ago, I lived in a student apartment. At that time, I was just 18 years old, and I was just going to university, and my parents were worried that I would not be familiar with the place in Yanjing, and secondly, I would leave home for the first time, so I helped find this dormitory......]
Once you've prepared in advance, it's time to write very quickly.
Zhang Chu's description of the dormitory situation has a very different result from Haruki Murakami, because the current situation of the two countries is not the same, and it is impossible to write that there are tatami mats or other things in China.
He also wrote about the dormitory of Yenching University that he is studying now, but the dormitory situation of the second college that he read in his previous life!
At that time, the economy was not particularly developed, and the two of them didn't think about it, the four-person room was dreaming, and the one-story floor used to be almost all eight-person rooms, and there was no air conditioning.
Many people have lived in such dormitories before, and it is estimated that readers will be able to smile after reading it, and everyone has suffered in the first place.
This is how the sense of substitution is formed little by little, slowly bringing the reader into it from the inconspicuous details.
If you write about what high-end apartment you live in and what private college you attend, then only Mary Sue lovers will like it, and ordinary people don't have the meaning to empathize with it at all!
A roommate who loves cleaning and is interested in making maps, while the protagonist Ning Yuan is a little dazed and likes a wide range of things, but prefers dramas and scripts.
The best thing about living in a dormitory is that you can't just take your own ideas into account, you have to take into account what your roommates think.
Zhang Chu's Ning Yuan is not a voice that swallows his anger, his roommate can't sleep early in the morning when he does radio gymnastics in the classroom, so he mentions it in person.
It is estimated that everyone has done it in the past to complain about strange roommates with friends, and Ning Yuan is no exception.
I haven't seen Du Ran for a year, and the two chatted after meeting by chance on the subway, but when I first met Du Ran, she was still the girlfriend of Ning Yuan's buddy Xu Mu.
At the beginning, the three of them often went out to play together, Du Ran and Ning Yuan were not very familiar with each other at that time, the two had nothing to say when they stayed together, and they all relied on Xu Mu to adjust the atmosphere, but later Xu Mu committed suicide!
The story is not complicated, or even very simple, and the focus is on the mental description of the protagonist.
Even if Ning Yuan is a bit maverick, it is indeed a kind of display of many people's hearts, but it is expressed more like no one.
He is a college student with the characteristics of his youth, drinking, falling in love with girls in class, and having fang, which can be described as everything, which is enough to make a single dog envious.
But he tends to be isolated again, and he seems to be different from the people around him.
Some people stay at the age of seventeen or eighteen forever, while others have to face the cruelty of growing up!
Zhang Chu clearly knows the pain and confusion caused by this growth, but it is a little difficult to write.
The writing style, the writing, the content of the story, and even the background that was done well in the past have to be carefully planned, and blindly pursuing resonance does not seem to be a good thing.
"It's too laborious to write, I don't know how many of these 5,000 words will be left in the end!"
Zhang Chu moved his neck, what he wrote at the moment was not even the first draft, and it might become unrecognizable after being revised and deleted at that time.
When writing works such as "The Da Vinci Code" and "The Legend of Wukong", he did not carve too much into the words, dialogues, and character descriptions, and focused on the story.
As long as the story is well told, the rest can be slightly secondary!
But now the sinicization of "Norwegian Wood" requires too many things, and he even thinks that this time it may take double or even more time.
As the saying goes, slow work makes meticulous work, and he doesn't want the whole thing to be filled with translators, and use translators to tell the love stories of young people in China, which is too serious.
This time, he didn't reveal the news of the new book to anyone for the time being, but he just treated it well after class, and occasionally acted as an observer when he was in class and after class, observing how young people and couples get along and how to talk to each other!
Literary works come from life, but they are higher than life.
……
"You want to see a psychiatrist? What's going on?"
After Zhou Kang heard the content of Zhang Chu's call, he couldn't help but be shocked!
It is said that artists and literary awards are prone to depression, they always take what they can't get in real life and write it into their books through imagination.
These works give readers a vision of their future lives, but they feel disappointed and pessimistic when they don't get what is described in literature.
There were poets who committed suicide by lying on the rails before, and now Zhang Chu actually wants to see a psychiatrist, Zhou Kang is anxious and frightened!
Not to mention the relationship between him and Zhang Chu at work, just because he has been classmates with Zhang Chu's father Zhang Bowen for many years, and now the son of the old classmate is going to see a psychiatrist.
Although Zhou Kang is a relatively enlightened person, he still can't get rid of prejudice and thinks that going to a psychiatrist is a very bad thing.
Zhang Chu hurriedly explained: "I'm okay, I didn't go to see a psychologist, but I wanted to communicate with the doctor, and there will be depression in my new book." ”
"What kind of book do you write, you actually have depression, and you have to run to the doctor?" Zhou Kang was puzzled, he didn't want Zhang Chu to write about any mental illness because of writing a book, and the current celebrities seem to be embarrassed to see people without depression!
"The content of the new book is about love, and the rest will not be revealed. Uncle Zhou, you can help me contact a reliable psychologist, it is best to be tight-mouthed and experienced, it would be better if I could arrange for me to meet directly with the depressed patient. Also, are there any sanatoriums in our country?"
If you don't know anything about it, it will be very empty and false.
The tone of the whole film is loneliness and loneliness, and although the heroine Du Ran did not directly say that it was depression, her related descriptions and even the sanatorium where she lived were for treating depression.
In reality, people's impression of depression is that they are moaning and sentimental without disease, and even many people think that this type of disease is idle, and they will be cured if they go to the construction site to move bricks for a year!
The biggest misconception is that depression is not a real disease, but it is a very serious disease, a health problem related to brain changes, and it is not that hard work can defeat depression.
Others say that depression is a gimmick used by pharmaceutical companies to sell drugs, a title imposed by cautious people to escape the responsibilities and pressures of the real world.
By writing this article "Norwegian Wood", Zhang Chu also hopes to correct people's wrong views to a certain extent, face up to this disease, and pay more attention to the people around him!
Don't get the public attention every time a celebrity commits suicide because of depression, which is often seen as entertainment news.
After sighing, netizens did not really understand depression and reflect on their own state.
Since Zhang Chu now has such a high degree of attention, and at the same time it will involve this mental illness in it, he obviously wants to show it in front of readers in a real way, which can be regarded as a little meager effort.
Zhou Kang didn't veto Zhang Chu's plan after knowing it, but he raised his vigilance in his heart, many people who looked sunny and happy on the outside were suffering in private, shouldn't this child also use writing books as an excuse, in fact, to find a doctor?
He pondered that after hanging up the phone later, he would call his old classmates to explain the situation, and this kind of thing must be done with the participation of parents.
However, if you take the initiative to go to the doctor for depression, it is also a gratifying thing.
"I'll definitely find you a proper doctor and ask about the situation. Isn't it good to go out outdoors for outdoor activities, don't stay at home alone for a long time to write books, young people should have the vitality of young people!"
Zhang Chu couldn't help but laugh after hearing Zhou Kang's instructions, "Uncle Zhou, I really don't have depression, I'm just a little homely." ”
"Yes, yes, I know you're not sick. I just care!"
After hanging up the phone, Zhang Chu shook his head, his preparations were still not in place, and he had already written a lot of content, only to find that he didn't understand depression or the inner world of depressed patients.
The image of several female characters in it is very important, but several of them have completely different personalities.
First of all, Du Ran, she and the actor Ning Yuan's buddy Xu Mu are childhood sweethearts, and when they grow up, they naturally become boyfriend and girlfriend, but when they were in love with Xu Mu, they didn't pierce the last layer of window paper.
After experiencing Xu Mu's suicide, she was mentally unstable, and finally admitted to a nursing home, and finally embarked on the road of suicide.
Du Ran is an isolated person, she puts herself in a self-enclosed world, so that her words and deeds are so different!
This taciturn man often talks to himself, ignoring whether others understand or understand.
In the first chapter of "Norwegian Wood", Zhang Chu wrote that in fact, Du Ran and Ning Yuan didn't want to love, but in the later text, the two of them became boyfriend and girlfriend, which seemed a little contradictory.
But who says you have to love each other to become a couple?
Readers are often confused by Du Ran's enthusiasm here, confusing the fact that she doesn't love the male lead.
didn't love him, but gave him the first time, Du Ran felt that Ning Yuan was like the shadow of his boyfriend, and following Ning Yuan was as if his boyfriend was still alive!
Unlike Du Ran, who does not eat fireworks in the world, Lin Lu and Ning Yuan are classmates in the same class, although she has also suffered the pain of the death of her relatives, she is very optimistic and cheerful.
Lin Lu seemed to be Ning Yuan's savior, pulling him back from the edge of darkness and nothingness.
Perhaps the greenery is a ray of sunshine in Norway's dense forests.
There is another female character in it, that is Duan Xueling, she is Du Ran's roommate in the nursing home, and she is also the object of Du Ran's talk.
Originally, Ning Yuan wanted to know about Du Ran's situation, but unexpectedly, he accidentally walked into Duan Xueling's world, and this woman who can play the piano and guitar and loves to smoke is also the key object of description!
So many characters have more or less psychological diseases, Zhang Chu is blind to these things, of course he has to seek help from professionals.
If this place can't be done, then the progress of the article will be stuck here.
If you can't describe these three female characters vividly, the literary value of the whole book will be greatly reduced!
Zhang Chu didn't want to see that happen.
If you want to write, try to write the best side!
……
After Zhou Kang hung up the phone, he exaggerated a tissue to wipe the sweat on his forehead.
Just now, he was scared out of a cold sweat, Zhang Chu is now the pillar of Hanlin Culture Media Company, an absolute soul, and there must be no problems.
If he had a choice, Zhou Kang would have chosen to ask Zhang Chu not to write this book, and if he learned from Hemingway's literary awards, he would have become depressed, it would be dangerous!
But Zhou Kang also knew that it was impossible for him to persuade Zhang Chu, so he targeted Zhang Bowen and Chu Lan, and estimated that the words of these two people could barely make Zhang Chu waver.
"Why should there be depression in love, isn't it enough to have leukemia?"
The agent whispered that leukemia has simply become the standard for idol dramas or romances, and if the heroine has leukemia, she is embarrassed to reunite with the male protagonist.
Now Zhang Chu's unknown new book has depression in it, and it's not just famous, Zhou Kang has a big head!
He has never been in contact with a psychiatrist, so how does he know which doctor is the most reliable?
If you ask a friend or colleague, they will be very curious about why they need to find a psychiatrist.
So this matter must be low-key, Zhou Kang thought about it and asked a question anonymously in Zhihu to see which psychologist in Yanjing was the most reliable.
It's safest in this way, no one knows that he is hidden behind this problem!
While waiting for netizens to answer their questions, Zhou Kang dialed Zhang Bowen's phone.
"Lao Zhang, have you been busy lately?"
Zhang Bowen sat in the office and watched TV comfortably, and said insincerely: "Busy, very busy! Although no new branches will be opened for the time being, these stores are now very busy." ”
Zhou Kang said earnestly: "No matter how busy you are, you have to care about Zhang Chu's psychological condition." The kid told me to find a psychiatrist, saying it was for writing, but I thought about it, there must be signs of this. Otherwise, if you don't write about so many diseases, you have to write about depression!"
"He said he wrote just to write. Didn't he go to the theater to get a VIP monthly ticket in order to write "Farewell My Concubine"?"
Zhang Bowen is very big-hearted, he doesn't have any worries at all, he knows his son's personality quite well, and it is impossible to get depression at all.
"I'm the emperor and I'm not in a hurry, the eunuch is in a hurry, anyway, you usually talk to him more, and I'll help you keep an eye on it here." ”
"Lao Zhou, you are just worried about the sky for nothing, and you are worried too much!"
