Chapter 244: The Sour Taste of Literary and Artistic Youth

Regarding Zhuang Yan's theory of saving the country by curves, Wang Lijian did not immediately express his position, he said: "This problem involves the whole body, and it is definitely not something that can be moved in a few words. ”

Zhuang Yan nodded, the reason why he said this was of course not for nothing, it was to pave the way for his own thing, he originally had something to say, but since Wang Lijian said this, he was not in a hurry.

It can be seen that Wang Lijian is still a little moved, otherwise based on his character, he will definitely deny it on the spot and will not say these words again.

Zhuang Yan clasped his hands together and said with a smile: "Okay, now I can talk about my new book." I was joking when I said it was a book of love, but this book does have elements of love. And there are two versions of the book, and both versions tell the same story, but they use different angles, and I define these two versions as children's and adults, which may not be appropriate, but that's probably what it means. ”

"There are still two versions?" Wang Lijian said in surprise, "You are playing a bit big this time, and there are two versions to publish the book." ”

Zhuang Yan joked, "Isn't it possible to make two copies of money by making two books, so why not do it." ”

"You'll settle the score. Wang Lijian said with a smile.

"As for the two versions, they are released together, and it is not specifically indicated whether they are children's or adult versions, so that readers can choose to go for themselves. Zhuang Yan said.

"Naturally, they chose the children's edition, the readers of the fairy tale manor are not old, most of them are children, even adults, they are also reading books for their children, and they must not be able to read the adult version. ”

Zhuang Yan shook his head and said, "Maybe these adults look at it and find that they fall in love with this book?"

"I see you, you are overconfident, and it is not easy to conquer adults with a fairy tale. Wang Lijian said.

Zhuang Yan shrugged his shoulders, "If I don't conquer adults, why should I bother to make an adult version." ”

Yao Qian next to him pushed his glasses and said with a smile, "I also have confidence in Mr. Zhuang, I have read the previous book "The Adventures of Shuke and Beta", and I also like it very much, and it does not rule out adult readers. ”

Wang Lijian rolled his eyes, "He is your boss, so naturally he has to hold it." Ziyan, don't just say it, do you have the manuscript in your hand, can you show it to me tonight?"

Zhuang Yan nodded, "No problem, I'll send you one in the evening, but it's too late today, I'll send it to you, you can't read it." ”

"You don't care about that, you just go back and send it to me, even if I don't watch it tonight, I'll watch it when I get up early tomorrow morning." ”

"Okay, I'll give it to you when I get back, and we'll eat first. ”

At this time, Yao Qian coughed lightly twice, grinned and said, "Teacher Zhuang, look at me......"

Zhuang Yan knew what he meant, and said with a smile: "I'll send you a copy when I go back." ”

"This dare is good!" Yao Qian said happily.

The three of them called for some omnivorous food, and they didn't delay for long, and they all knew that they couldn't eat too much at night, so they ate a little bit of fun, and went back separately.

After returning to the hotel, Zhuang Yan did not forget about Wang Lijian, and first sent the manuscript of "The Little Prince" to Wang Lijian's mailbox.

Over there, Wang Lijian went home and took a shower, thinking of Zhuang Yan's new book, and ran to the study to turn on the computer.

Originally, he thought that he would go back to sleep after collecting the documents, but when he clicked on the documents, he couldn't help but see what the new book was like.

There are two documents in total, which are also marked with the words "adult" and "child".

Wang Lijian didn't think about it, and first clicked on the folder that said "adult".

"Little Prince? ”

Seeing the three big characters on the first page of the document, Wang Lijian said to himself. It's a strange name, but it sounds like a fairy tale name.

Then Wang Lijian turned to the second page, and at first glance he didn't see any words, but a painting. Seeing this painting, Wang Lijian noticed that this document was not an ordinary text document, but the kind that could have illustrations.

This painting is not a delicate painting, or perhaps it is a painting that is too exaggerated, because it is nothing more than a circle, an irregular circle. If you have to say what this painting is about, Wang Lijian guesses that it should be a hat, with brims on both sides and the bulging part in the middle is the top of the hat.

Flipping back a few pages, there are really a lot of paintings in it, but they all look relatively rough, and they should be hand-painted by Zhuang Yan himself.

Wang Lijian couldn't help but laugh a little, even if it is a children's book, the illustrations in it should not be so perfunctory, it seems that when it is published, it needs to find a professional illustrator to redraw.

After turning a few pages, Wang Lijian wrapped his clothes and prepared to start from the beginning.

"When I was only six years old, in a book about a primeval forest, I saw a wonderful illustration of a python devouring a large beast......"

Seeing this, Wang Lijian realized that the illustration below was not an ordinary circle, let alone a hat, but a giant python digesting an elephant.

"It's really a child's imagination. Wang Lijian said with a smile.

After reading the first chapter, Wang Lijian didn't have any special feelings, but felt that the world of children was very different from the world of adults.

But now that it was only the first chapter, he hadn't yet seen Zhuang Yan's different purpose in highlighting it. And the text at the beginning does not feel like a fairy tale, but more like an old man reminiscing about the past.

When he saw the little prince appear later, Wang Lijian smiled to himself, because from here on, it really looks like a fairy tale.

A little prince of an alien planet, living on Earth, tells people the story of an alien planet.

The story is absurd and unbelievable, and if you think about it with a little scientific common sense that you have learned, this little prince does not exist. How could there be a planet the size of a room, and how could there be such a thing as a baobab tree?

If the planet is only the size of a room, how can there be sunrises and sunsets?

Fortunately, this is a fairy tale book, so Wang Lijian does not need to use common sense to scrutinize the story, just like watching "The Adventures of Shuck and Beta" and not thinking about why rats talk.

Reading and reading, Wang Lijian began to understand, different from the first glance and ten lines, he began to figure out the dialogue of the book.

To be honest, the dialogue in this book does not see the shadow of Zhuang Yan at all, it is a little pretentious, but it is just right.

Wang Lijian doesn't know the word literary youth yet, there is this word in this world, but it is not the same word as literary and artistic youth in another world.

If he knew the word and understood its meaning, he would definitely wrinkle his nose and say, "Hmph, the sour smell of literary youth!"
