Chapter 790: Breaking Precedent [Asking for Votes and Subscriptions]
Among the three people interviewed by Zhang Chu, almost everyone is expressing the same emotion, that is, regretting not being at the beginning.
I regret ruining the rest of my life because of greed!
When he came out of Qincheng Prison, he was still dizzy, and there were a lot of things that needed to be written down.
"Is this enough, is there anything else you need?" Zhou Kang asked, "The Chinese New Year is coming soon, and if you want to continue to apply for prison interviews, you have to say it in advance." Otherwise, there wouldn't be so much effort. ”
Zhang Chu spread out his hand and said in the same dazed: "Actually, I don't know what else is missing, I can only know when I start writing." ”
Writing a book is never perfect!
No matter how much information and content you prepare, you will always find that it is not enough when you write.
Only practice can produce true knowledge, and Zhang Chu plans to give it a try first.
"Then you write slowly, don't rush to post. Zhou Kang admonished, "Maybe you started very smoothly, but the more you write later, the more you feel constrained." ”
"Uncle Zhou, don't curse me, I will definitely write more and more smoothly!"
Zhang Chu yawned, the lunch he ate at the prison at noon, it seemed that the food level was quite good, at least better than the canteens of some middle schools.
When I go back in the afternoon, I will write the beginning of "In the Name of the People", and before that, I can determine the outline and language style.
The original author, Zhou Mason, writes fairly smoothly, and does not read like a foreign translation.
But compared with the rest of the writers who write commercially, his writing is actually too simple, which is an inherent characteristic of many old writers.
There is no problem in writing with this kind of writing about the three major themes of educated youth, rural areas, and military service in the 80s or 90s of the last century.
But now that "In the Name of the People" involves modern urban themes, it seems a little sticky and heavy with Zhou Mason's writing!
Of course, officialdom doesn't need to be interesting, but it also needs to adjust the atmosphere occasionally.
The writing needs to be more modern, and in terms of structure, the original work is actually very good.
"In the Name of the People" is a superior work in terms of structure, digging and filling pits is smooth and natural, which is easy for a long-form writer like Zhou Mason.
The plot of Gao Yuliang's blackening will be shocking to many people, which requires proper foreshadowing of the big turn!
While the reader is shocked, they look back and think that this turn of events makes sense.
And this happens to be what Zhang Chu is best at!
He has written many works with such big turns, and he is experienced enough to handle such a plot well.
For readers, a good plot should be like peeling bamboo shoots, slowly revealing the truth.
Instead of cutting pork kidneys in half with a knife.
Among the many main roles such as Hou Liangping, Gao Yuliang, Qi Tongwei, Sha Ruijin, etc., Zhang Chu is very impressed by those supporting roles or villains.
For example, Qi Tongwei has fallen very regrettably, and his depravity is of great practical significance.
Once Qi Tongwei didn't want to be attached to the powerful, he was full of enthusiasm and wanted to serve the country!
However, he was assigned to a small place with only three people as a judicial assistant, and after seeing the colleague who had worked in the poor ravine for thirty years, he decided to pursue the daughter of a high-ranking political and legal official who was older than him against his will.
He doesn't have a family background like Hou Liangping, so he can only climb up step by step on his own.
The former anti-drug hero, in order not to expose his own affairs, helped the deputy mayor escape, assassinated witnesses, murdered classmates, and became a murderer.
When all the truth was revealed, Qi Tongwei finally fled back to Lone Eagle Ridge, the place where he had been shot three times and almost lost his life.
When the roar of the helicopter sounded again, this time it was not to save him, but to arrest him!
Extremely realistic and full of irony.
Zhang Chu feels that this book portrays too many flesh-and-blood characters, and it also shows a more real social situation and officialdom.
In these years, there are not many works that dare to show the dark side of society and the hypocrisy between people!
He didn't know if this time it was just a release, and Secretary Dakang would be able to attract countless fans like in his previous life.
In the group of corrupt high-ranking officials, the character of Gao Yuliang is from a high-level intellectual who has corrupted and transformed into a fallen high-ranking official, although he is a big tiger, but he is far less attractive to readers than Li Dakang.
The most vivid, vivid, and tense character in it is none other than Secretary Dakang!
He was an official with strong political aspirations, and he was almost unkind to the local economy and to advance his work.
The domineering of the number one and the willfulness of power have been perfectly reflected in him, although it can cause a lot of controversy.
But for the local people, it is really a blessing to have such a pioneering official, at least he dares to do things, can do things, and can get things done!
For the people around him, such officials, relatives, and friends seem very boring, extremely selfish, and cherish their feathers, so they are extremely incorruptible.
At the beginning, the original author Zhou Mason deliberately led the suspicion of corruption to Li Dakang, making the audience think that this is another corrupt person.
However, after that, he focused on describing Li Dakang's pioneering, reform and dedication to work, obviously the secretary of the old leader, but when the old leader's son refused to sign and approve the opening project that destroyed the environment.
Such officials only have problems with work style, but there is no corruption.
Even if Li Dakang's wife is stained, he is eager to clear up the relationship.
The ambivalence and complex humanity of this character are thoroughly expressed!
There are officials who do nothing, and there are also people like Secretary Dakang who only pay attention to political performance and GDP.
Zhang Chu leaned on the back seat of the car and closed his eyes and thought a lot, and the images of various characters were churning in his mind.
After returning home, Zhou Kang drove to Hanlin Culture Media to continue working, leaving Liu Wei to shoot the scene of his code words.
……
Cui Jie is a newly hired prison financial officer in Qincheng Prison, and rarely goes to the prison to work on the front line.
Not long after he was admitted to the civil service, he also had a lot of connections in his family to allow him to enter China's No. 1 Prison as a civilian worker.
Finance is a pretty easy job.
Although he usually meets people who come to the prison to visit and interview, this time he was quite surprised.
It turned out to be Zhang Chu!
Those prisoners who have been detained for a long time don't know that Zhang Chu is normal, he is a person who pays attention to these things every day.
In his spare time, he watched Zhang Chu on the office computer, and he also urged him to change many times in the book review area of "Ghost Blowing the Lamp".
However, due to work discipline reasons, Cui Jie couldn't go to Zhang Chu for an autograph or a group photo, so he could only look into the distance.
"Brother Xu, what is Zhang Chu doing in our prison? Do those people have anything to do with him?" Cui Jie inquired curiously, trying to find out why Zhang Chu came over.
Xu Huilong has been in Qincheng Prison for more than ten years, and almost everyone in every position knows him, and he is very well-informed.
"He came to interview those corrupt officials, as if he wanted to write some new book. ”
Cui Jie's doubts are getting heavier and heavier, what kind of new book will need to interview corrupt officials?
And you can also apply to bring a camera with you, which probably requires a lot of energy.
"What's the matter with that reporter? Can he actually go in and shoot, is this going to be used for what kind of program?"
These contents are described in detail in Zhang Chu's application for prison visits, so Xu Huilong understands it thoroughly: "This writer named Zhang Chu is amazing, his new book is supported by the Commission for Discipline Inspection and the Supreme People's Procuratorate, and CCTV also sent someone to make a documentary for him, it is said that the new book is written on the theme of anti-corruption!"
Cui Jie gasped and said in surprise: "He writes about anti-corruption?"
"yes, I'm surprised, right? At such a young age, I'm afraid I don't even know what officialdom is, and I really don't know where the confidence to write anti-corruption comes from. ”
As a prison guard, Xu Huilong is used to seeing those corrupt officials who have fallen from power, and he also knows something about the life deeds of these corrupt officials.
Rao is like this, and he doesn't dare to say that he knows officialdom very well.
That young man was able to get official support to create an anti-corruption book, and the things in it were probably made up by himself!
Anyway, Xu Huilong is very optimistic about Zhang Chu's new book, even if he went to the prison to interview several fallen officials.
Cui Jie was also worried at this time, Zhang Chu's reputation that he had accumulated with great difficulty should not be destroyed by this anti-corruption theme, right?
"Is this a political task? Although the anti-corruption has been being emphasized all the time, shouldn't this type of writer be found by some highly respected writers? What is the matter with Zhang Chu?"
Cui Jie felt that it was impossible for Zhang Chu to take the initiative to write this type of article, which was completely inconsistent with the type of work he had previously written!
Can Zhang Chu master this special theme?
Doubts swirled in Cui Jie's heart, and he became more and more worried.
Such worries have always accompanied him to change into his own clothes after work, and they have not subsided!
You are required to wear a police uniform when working in prison, and you cannot carry a mobile phone when wearing a police uniform.
So Cui Jie changed his clothes at five o'clock before he drove out of Qincheng Prison to prepare to go home.
Qincheng Prison is in the suburbs, and Cui Jie's house is also in the Fourth Ring Road, so it is not too far apart.
When he was stuck in traffic, he couldn't help but take out his phone and share the news he got.
Although the situation in the prison cannot be announced to the public, Zhang Chu is not a person from the prison, so there is no need to keep it secret.
[Registered for the forum for so long, I have been diving to watch the big brothers post, today I know a shocking news, ready to listen to it for everyone.
First of all, Zhang Chu has finished his wave in the United States, and it seems that he returned to China yesterday. He went to Qincheng Prison with a camera today to interview several corrupt officials, supposedly in preparation for a new book!
Now comes to the point: his new book is the main theme of anti-corruption!
I was also stunned when I heard the news.
I don't know if Zhang Chu asked the Commission for Discipline Inspection and the Supreme People's Procuratorate for help, or if the two institutions designated Zhang Chu to write works on this theme, anyway, Zhang Chu's ability to enter the prison so quickly for an interview was the result of the two agencies' quick help in approval.
Oh, and there's good news. CCTV is making a documentary about Zhang Chu, and this time it was CCTV people who accompanied Zhang Chu to the prison to interview.
I don't know when I'll be able to see this documentary, and I hope it doesn't have a difficult birth.
PS: The moderator gives me an essence, so it's a big deal!]
Zhang Chu's official website has hundreds of thousands of active users, and there are all kinds of posts in the forum.
When Cui Jie sent out this post, it didn't take long for it to be liked by the rest of the popular discussion posts.
The forum is full of fish, and people often deliberately make up these fake news.
There are a lot of posts about Zhang Chu's new book, some rumors that Zhang Chu is going to write the second part of "Detective Sherlock", some are rumored that he is going to write the next plot of "Ghost Blowing the Lamp", and there are all kinds of rumors.
This time, Cui Jie's post said that Zhang Chu wanted to write about anti-corruption, and most of the people who clicked in to read it didn't believe it!
"Can the landlord make it a little more fake?"
"If Zhang Chu goes to write the palace fight, I still want to believe it. ”
"666, pretend to believe it. Where did the landlord get the news?"
"Anti-corruption has nothing to do with Zhang Chu, and the bull's head is not the horse's mouth. ”
"The more unlikely it is, the more likely it is!"
"Look at this tone, could it be that the owner of the building is a staff member of Qincheng Prison?"
"I'm rubbing, the famous Qincheng Prison, it's full of officials and celebrities. ”
"I wouldn't believe a word if I didn't see the photo!"
Everyone else is a picture at the beginning, and the content is all up to the editor.
But Cui Jie's post doesn't even have a photo, and there is no evidence, so it's normal to not be trusted.
If Cui Jie saw a similar post on the Internet, his first reaction would be to question it!
"Well, believe it or not, I believe it anyway. ”
Cui Jie felt that the reason for the visit to the prison written by Zhang Chu in the application form for the visit should be true, and when the unnamed work was exposed, he would put the post up again.
But things turned around very quickly, because someone quickly verified some of his claims!
"I'd better be anonymous, in case I am recognized by a colleague in the unit, it will not be good. The contemptible person works at CCTV, and he did hear about making a documentary for Zhang Chu during dinner. But that's not for him, but for how his new book was born. There has never been a precedent for documenting a literary work before, and this is an exception. As for whether this work is anti-corruption, I don't know if it is related to the Commission for Discipline Inspection and the Supreme People's Procuratorate. I'll come back tomorrow after I go and inquire about the situation!"
The person who answered chose to remain anonymous, and no one knew whether he was really an employee of CCTV.
In case it's the owner's trumpet, or if it's a joint deception, then you can't tell the difference.
But this answer did make Zhang Chu's fans start to worry, what if this revelation is true?
Zhang Chu's reputation is about to be ruined on this so-called anti-corruption!
