Chapter 377: Old Naughty Boy (Asking for Tickets and Subscriptions)
The CCTV headquarters building has always been famous for its big pants, and when Zhang Chu watched the world-famous buildings from far and near, the shock in his heart gradually rose.
"I used to look at the pictures on the Internet and thought it was funny, but it actually looked like it was very unusual!"
Zhou Kang, who was driving, quipped: "Anyway, this is also CCTV, it can't be too shabby." Later, when you are recording the show, you must pay attention, don't be as arrogant as a certain actor, and you will be banned by CCTV. ”
Although Zhang Chu is not an actor or singer, he often appears in news reports in various fields of CCTV, except that he has not been on the news network.
These reports can bring him direct benefits and indirect fame, any writer who wants to be famous needs to be promoted, CCTV is obviously a good platform.
"Uncle Zhou, don't you know me? It's just a normal recording show, and I'm not here to cause trouble. "Zhang Chu now belongs to the kind of person who doesn't cause trouble but is not afraid of it.
Parking the car, taking the elevator upstairs, and following the instructions to the back of the recording studio of "Art Life", they saw the rest of the dressing room.
"Mr. Bi, we were just talking about the last guest to participate in the show, and he came over. This kid is really a representative of young writers!"
Without waiting for Zhang Chu to recognize the two people in the seat, one of the middle-aged men called out Zhang Chu's name.
Zhou Kang hurriedly said in Zhang Chu's ear: "The white-haired writer is called Bi Deyu, who used to be a soldier, is a master of realism, and has won many domestic literary awards. The person who spoke was Xie Anjiao, who was good at writing prose and several films from the Republic of China era were made into TV series. ”
"Teacher Bi, Teacher Xie, I really didn't expect the program team to invite you out of the mountain, and now I'm really a little scared to record the show with you. Zhang Chu said in a slightly respectful tone.
Most of his works are in the fantasy genre, but he ends up putting himself in the literary world, which is hardly the same kind of person.
Bi Deyu's hair was already completely white, but after hearing Zhang Chu's words, he still said in a neutral voice: "It's me who should be afraid, an old guy like me who has been eliminated by the times can't compare to you." I've heard your name from many old friends before, and "Ghost Blows the Lantern" is well written!"
Not only Zhang Chu, but even Xie Anjiao next to him was surprised, everyone in the literary world actually looked at this kind of tomb robbery, the image is too subversive!
"Teacher Bi, you still look at this type. Xie An said in surprise, "I thought you would praise his "Youth School" or "The Fifteenth Year of Wanli". ”
"I'm a little flattered, I should have written another one if I knew you were reading my one. ”
Zhang Chu took advantage of the situation to bring the relationship between the two sides closer, and he has not written any literary works for a long time, most of them are going for sales.
Bi Deyu leaned back in his chair, his face was crisscrossed with wrinkles, and the years had left a lot of traces, "Why can't I read this kind of book? Do you think I read literary masterpieces or historical works at home every day? I have to have some fun for myself." ”
After saying that, he actually laughed happily, not like he was lying at all.
In fact, people who don't know will always mystify some masters and big bulls, thinking that they are unattainable, that they are mysterious and abnormal, and that they do not eat fireworks in the world, but in fact, that group of people is very interesting.
Not to mention anything else, let's just say that many old experts and professors of Yan University are actually just a group of old naughty boys, with very lively and humorous personalities.
It's like after the host of CCTV's "Yan University is OK" met Professor Yan University, the two jokers clashed and found that Jiang was still old and spicy!
Zhang Chu shook his head, and he said with a smile: "After I finish writing the second part of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern", I will definitely send it to you first." ”
"You write whatever you want, don't say I'm urging the draft. Old Man Bi quipped, "My friends all said that the feng shui knowledge in your book is really not made up, and you have learned it before?"
"No, no, I just look for a book and use it in it. ”
"Then your self-learning ability is quite good, if it were in ancient times, maybe you could become a generation of feng shui masters. By the way, I saw the foreshadowing in this part, saying that Hu Bayi and they were cursed, and they should seek a way to rescue them in this direction, right?"
This master has really watched "Ghost Blowing the Lantern", otherwise he would not be able to say such a specific plot!
When it comes to seeking spoilers, readers across the world are the same, regardless of their identity.
Zhang Chu spread his hands and said, "I'm sorry, I don't have to comment, everything is in the next book." ”
Xie Anjiao has never watched "Ghost Blowing the Lamp", and now after hearing Bi Deyu's praise, he can't help but keep this title in his heart, and plans to wait for the recording of the show to go back and see if it is really that good!
"I really have to go and see what you said, and it just so happens that my son bought a copy and just go back and flip it out on the shelf. ”
Zhang Chu breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, at least these two seniors were not the kind of people with weird personalities, and there was nothing restrained when they talked.
Bi Deyu sighed and said: "Now there are fewer and fewer young people who can settle down to write books, Zhang Chu, it is quite rare for you to achieve so much at your age, but you still have to calm down and continue to write." Don't follow the rest of the people, don't write books, run to drive some kind of racing car, run to make some kind of movie. ”
This life is a crossing, not a rebirth, Zhang Chu doesn't need to make himself so urgent, he doesn't want to be an all-round person, and he has to get involved in all fields, which is obviously too tiring.
Writing is what he likes and wants to pursue, and if he can write a work that really belongs to him, that is the most important thing!
"Teacher Bi, don't worry, I guess I've been dealing with words all my life, and I watch TV and movies in my spare time. ”
Old man Bi is already in his eighties, but he is healthy and in good spirits, and he is wearing a pair of old Yanjing cloth shoes to go out to the toilet at this time.
After the old man left, Xie Anjiao took the initiative to speak: "Xiao Zhang, I heard that your "Detective Sherlock" is selling very well abroad, and it has already been on the bestseller list!"
"No, no, that book was pure luck, and if it weren't for the popularity of Sherlock Holmes itself and the BBC TV series, it probably wouldn't have sold at all. ”
Zhang Chu said very modestly, and at the same time he was a little vigilant in his heart, he should have praised Xie Anjiao's works by himself, but the form was reversed!
Xie Anjiao was also a little apprehensive, he rarely asked for anything or anything, so the flattery was a little dry: "Luck is also part of strength, if the translation is not good, then foreigners will definitely not read it." I've been in contact with overseas publishers before, but they have turned it down after reading my work. ”
"Why did you push it off? Your poetry collection and the Republic of China are so well written, I remember that the film adaptation was also selected for the main competition unit of the Cannes Film Festival, right?" Zhang Chu asked suspiciously.
It stands to reason that the original book of that kind of art film should be the favorite of the publisher, why would it be turned away!
Xie Anjiao sighed and said helplessly: "Because they can't find a suitable translator." Where did you find the translation of that book? I've heard that the translation is very authentic. ”
Zhang Chu suddenly realized, it turned out that this was the reason why Xie Anjiao took the initiative to talk to him!
"Mr. Xie, I translated the book by myself, and I didn't ask the rest of the people for help. ”
"You translated it yourself?" Xie Anjiao's eyes widened, he didn't think of this stubble at all!
Zhang Chu nodded heavily, "That's right, I translated it, and so did "Youth School". ”
Xie Anjiao's face was full of incredulity, "Wow, I thought it was a translator! But it's right to think about it, you are the top student in the college entrance examination, and it is normal for you to know English." ”
At this time, his heart was full of surprise and disappointment, since it was Zhang Chu who translated, then he would definitely not ask Zhang Chu to help translate, after all, Zhang Chu's time and energy were limited.
He had already heard that Zhang Chu was writing a new book, so he kept this idea in his heart and didn't say it!
