Chapter 110: The scale is unusual
After Yu Hai finished saying this, Wang Lijian also looked at Zhuang Yan with blazing eyes, wanting to hear what he said. Like Ma Yinchu, they also knew for the first time that Zhuang Yan had a new book plan, so they were as surprised as Ma Yinchu, but this surprise could not be said.
It can be regarded as Yu Hai's brain turning quickly, and he took the opportunity to ask what they wanted to know.
Of course, Zhuang Yan didn't say his new book plan quickly, and the reason why he said the plan for "The Catcher in the Rye" was also because he had recently entered a bottleneck when changing the book.
After all, it is not enough to understand the local customs of a country on the Internet, and some more detailed information cannot be found at all. And Zhuang Yan also has to admit that his level is still a little worse, and he still owes some heat if he wants to recreate this classic work.
Although the three people here are not literary masters like Gu Hongming and Kang Youwei, their literary attainments must not be underestimated, and if they can learn from them, they may be of some benefit to this book.
Zhuang Yan said with a smile: "The background of this book is New York, USA, and it probably tells the story of a middle school student. ”
"About education?" Ma Yin asked first.
Zhuang Yan nodded, "Since it is a story about a middle school student, it must involve education, but it is not exactly about education, but more about growth and some other things." ”
Wang Lixian leaned over and said, "Can you tell us more about it?"
Zhuang Yan was about to nod and say okay, when Yu Hai next to him suddenly said: "If we want to say that we should also change places, this place is suitable for eating, but it is not suitable for discussing these." ”
Ma Yinchu and Wang Lijian both nodded in agreement, and then several people combined, and under Yu Hai's strong recommendation, several people decided to go to Wang Lijian's house to sit.
Wang Lijian's family lives in a small apartment, and when several people came to his house, his wife Hu Qinglian opened the door for them with a smile. Ma Yinchu and Yu Hai seem to have been here, and Hu Qinglian also knows them, and when she saw Zhuang Yan here, Wang Lijian introduced her and said: "This is Zhuang Ziyan, the author of "Alive". ”
Hu Qinglian said with a smile: "It turned out to be you, our old king is talking about you and your books every day, but I didn't expect to meet a real person today." Okay, you go in and sit down, and I'll pour you tea." ”
When he saw Hu Qinglian, Zhuang Yan was very surprised, because Hu Qinglian looked very young, with long black and beautiful hair, and her figure was also very well maintained, giving people the feeling that she was around thirty years old.
Wang Lijian's age Zhuang Yan doesn't know, but looking at his appearance, especially the handful of white hair on his head, no matter how he looks, he looks like he is almost fifty years old, compared with Hu Qinglian, if it is a father and daughter, I am afraid that some people believe it.
This is a little strange, after all, Zhuang Yan thought that Wang Yuanshan was Wang Lijian's son, but no matter how you look at it, Hu Qinglian can't give birth to such a big son.
Could it be that Wang Lijian is married for the second time, and Wang Yuanshan is the son of his ex-wife? When he arrived in the room, Zhuang Yan also looked around, just to see if there were any traces of Wang Yuanshan, or whether there were any traces of their children, but after looking at it for a long time, he didn't find any clues, and it seemed that this house was where the husband and wife lived.
A few people walked into the study, and Yu Hai said with a smile: "My sister-in-law is still virtuous, unlike my family who doesn't go home in the laboratory every day, and I have to cook for her when I come back." ”
Wang Lijian smiled and said, "Brother and sister, she's busy." ”
"What are you busy with, she and her sister-in-law are doing the same job, why is everyone else busy, just her?" Yu Hai complained.
Wang Lijian didn't answer this question, because he knew that Yu Hai was just complaining about poverty.
However, Ma Yinchu also smiled: "To be honest, I sometimes envy Brother Zijian, not only is my sister-in-law virtuous, but my son doesn't want to be bothered, he is independent early, and he doesn't need to be taken care of when he studies outside." Unlike my daughter, who doesn't grow up every day, and goes to school is also sloppy, what I'm most afraid of when I go home now is that her mother told me that she was in trouble at school again. ”
Hearing this, Zhuang Yan was a little confused, it sounded like Wang Lijian had a son, or he was born to Hu Qinglian, but he was still in school. From this point of view, Wang Yuanshan is not Wang Lijian's son at all, he is too careful, no wonder Wang Lijian behaved like that when he asked Wang Yuanshan to go over before.
Shaking his head, Zhuang Yan smiled self-deprecatingly, fortunately he didn't ask Wang Lijian, otherwise he would make a joke.
Wang Lijian noticed Zhuang Yan smiling and said curiously, "Ziyan, why are you laughing?"
Zhuang Yan squinted his eyes to hide it, and said with a smile: "It's nothing, it's just that my book happens to be about teaching, but I didn't expect that Brother Zijian and Teacher Ma have children in school at home, which feels a bit of a coincidence." ”
Yu Hai laughed: "My kid is also in junior high school, isn't that more coincidental, in this way, we should pay more attention to your new book, I want to see what unique experience our Zhuang University writers have in education." ”
Zhuang Yan hurriedly said modestly: "Don't dare, I myself am a recent graduate, how dare I ignore education, this book is just some of my experiences, written out, just for others to taste, if there is really gain, it is also because the person who reads the book has his own feelings, not my credit." ”
"Ziyan, don't be modest, if you are still seen as a recent college graduate, then what's the point of us gathering here today?" Wang Lijian said.
Ma Yinchu also echoed: "Brother Zijian is right, there is no elder or younger, and the one who achieves it is the first. Although a few of us are a few years older, if we want to say that we are accomplished in novels, the three of us are not as good as yours combined. ”
His words made Zhuang Yan almost float, and Zhuang Yan hurriedly said: "It's too famous." ”
Ma Yinchu smiled and waved his hand, "Okay, let's talk about your new book." You said earlier that your book is set in New York, USA, is there any special consideration?"
Zhuang Yan shook his head, the reason why it is New York, USA is completely because the original work is New York, USA, if he wants to change the background, then the workload is not as simple as simply checking the information, revising and modifying.
"There are no special considerations, but I personally think that it is easier to solve the problem in terms of scale by putting the background on the American side. Zhuang Yan said a reason.
The expressions of the other three people all changed, and Ma Yinchu leaned on the armrest of the chair and asked, "Listening to the meaning of Ziyan's words, the scale of this book is a little unusual?"
Zhuang Yan bowed: "It is indeed unusual. ”
