At this time, Wang Lijian did not expect that he would be immersed in the hypocrisy of literary and artistic youth and could not extricate himself.

He no longer reads this book as a fairy tale, but falls into the spiritual paradise created by this book with another back-to-basics mentality, wandering in it to understand the true meaning of communication, love and responsibility.

For example, when the little prince met the fox, when the fox said the paragraph about "taming", Wang Lijian felt that the essence of building a relationship between people lies in giving sincerity and emotion, and while enjoying the wonderful feeling brought by the "domesticated" relationship, he produced a sense of responsibility that tied each other's hearts.

Of course, although the language style of this book is somewhat different from Zhuang Yan's previous works, Wang Lijian still sees Zhuang Yan's shadow.

Fairy tales in general, or the vast majority of those who choose to narrate omnisciently, are outside the story.

But this "Little Prince" is different, the narrator of the story "I" is both the narrator and an important character in it.

Speaking of which, Zhuang Yan does not have a work that has this narrative mode, but Wang Lijian will not forget what Zhuang Yan said at his house some time ago.

It was in this study at the time that Zhuang Yan mentioned the Méri-American two-tiered narrative structure, and he also said that he had considered using this technique in "Alive" before.

Of course, Zhuang Yan did not mention Mérimée's narrative before, but Liang Qichao said it himself.

Wang Lijian sighed lightly, "Alas, this sub-dialect is quite tightly hidden, and when he talked about this kind of writing technique, he didn't even mention his new book. ”

I have to sigh that Zhuang Yan has really impeccable use of this two-tier narrative structure.

Among them, the alternation of two "I", one "narrative self" and the other "experience self", greatly enhances the generation of suspense. Two different perspectives reflect different levels of cognition.

The suspense of this kind of setting is that the narrator always reveals everything he knows from the perspective of the narrating self first, but does not tell the reader, leading the reader to continue reading.

"Experienced and skilled. Wang Lijian praised again, to be honest, through this period of time, his impression of Zhuang Yan has changed again.

Zhuang Yan is no longer the plain and simple storyteller, but has become an experienced master of literary skills.

His two most recent books, "Border City" and "The Little Prince", are perfect examples of Zhuang Yan's literary skills, and they can be used as examples for writing skills classes to explain to students.

While admiring, Wang Lijian also had some regrets, why should such a good book be released on the fairy tale manor, it can be released in his own name.

Thinking of this, Wang Lijian thought of Zhuang Yan's other new book "The Old Man and the Sea", which he had read two days ago, and he could only sigh about that book......

Squeak!

Before Wang Lijian could recall "The Old Man and the Sea", the door of the study was pushed open, and his wife Hu Qinglian pushed the door in pajamas.

Seeing Wang Lijian sitting at the desk with his clothes on, Hu Qinglian rubbed her eyes and said, "What time is it, why are you still in the study, what work do you have to stay up late?"

Wang Lijian looked at the clock on the table and found that it was almost two o'clock, he said: "I was looking at something, but I accidentally watched it so late, why did you get up?"

"I went to the bathroom and saw your study door open and came in to take a look. If it's not an important job, let it go first, how will you work tomorrow if you stay up late like this, and you are not young anymore. Hu Qinglian said.

"Okay, okay, I'll go to sleep. Faced with his wife's recitation, Wang Lijian could only raise his hands and surrender.

looked at the document on the computer desktop that was not opened, Wang Lijian sighed, after watching the adult version, it also aroused his interest in the children's version, but his wife was right, the time is indeed not early, and if you want to see it, you can only get up tomorrow and read it again.

……

Zhuang Yan booked a ticket back to Jinling after the signing meeting, and Yao Qian did not go with him, but stayed in Yanjing to negotiate with the Literary and Art Publishing House about the publication of "The Little Prince".

Yao Qian has been very busy lately, and as Zhuang Yan's assistant and agent, he is facing several times the work of an average writer's assistant.

Not only because Zhuang Yan has a lot of works, but also because Zhuang Yan himself is a hands-off shopkeeper, he doesn't want to take care of anything at all, and he leaves all the big and small things to Yao Qian to do.

Of course, Yao Qian was very busy, and Zhuang Yan also saw it, so he told him to find an assistant to help him share it, and some simple things could be handed over to the assistant to do.

At first, Yao Qian refused, thinking that there was no need to spend more money, and he also said that there was no need for an assistant, which sounded like a joke.

But later, as there were more and more things, Yao Qian was indeed a little unbearable, and when Zhuang Yan mentioned the matter of hiring an assistant again, he was also relieved.

Yao Qian, as a writer's agent, only gets a fixed salary, he still has to do what he has to do as a general life assistant, if he wasn't a fan of Zhuang Yan, it is estimated that there should be complaints.

asked Yao Qian to hire an assistant in order to reduce his pressure, and also to allow him to take a break from trivial matters, because Zhuang Yan would have to give him a big task in the future.

Yao Qian was originally a newspaper company, and he has experience and connections in this area, and Zhuang Yan recently wanted to make an organization similar to a newspaper on his own.

Of course, being a newspaper is not Zhuang Yan's purpose, and wanting to make such an institution is actually just to prepare for running a school in the future, and the future development of Maitian TV will definitely need such an institution.

Mastering a media outlet is equivalent to having a microphone, which makes it easier to speak.

With such a media, he can also develop other businesses in the future, such as making movies and the like, and his books can be used to shoot by himself in the future, without pretending to others.

Thinking about it this way, Zhuang Yan found that he still had a lot to do, but until now, everything had been handed over to Yao Qian and Yang Zhao, and he hadn't done anything himself. But he also knew that he just had to do what he could. All he can do is publish more books, build himself better, and make more starting capital.

In other aspects, he can provide advice to Yao Qian and Yang Zhao, after all, he has an experience that no one in this world has ever had.
