Chapter 674: Missed Opportunity
Although the name of this course is "Semiotics of Religion", there is no book of the same name.
And as a public elective course, it will not have such a thing as a textbook, it can only be said that Wu Zeyu simply recommended a few books as a reference for his hobbies.
What "New Theory of Signs and Semiotics", "Principles of Semiotics", "Zero Degree of Writing", "Semiotics and Literature", "Introduction to Semiotics" can only be understood by people like him!
It is more difficult for ordinary people to read these works, because the things in them are relatively boring and even have a reading threshold.
At present, Zhang Chu's "Da Vinci Code" actually integrates religious symbols very appropriately, adding a lot of mystery to it.
This approach also allows semiotics researchers to see a new way, perhaps they no longer have to present all their research results in the form of papers or academic works, but in a popular way to the readers!
Originally, this was an unpopular research scope, but now it has gained many followers after being passed on to tens of millions of readers by "The Da Vinci Code".
Even Wu Zeyu is thinking about whether he can recruit two more graduate students this year, so that the branch of semiotics in semiotics can be developed!
"If Zhang Chu is a senior this year, I have to ask the school to give him a guaranteed place, I don't know if he would like to come to my side. ”
It's a pity that the kid is only a sophomore, and there are still two full years to go, so there is too much change in such a long time.
But Wu Zeyu still kept it firmly in his heart, if Zhang Chu wanted to continue his studies for two years, he would definitely give him this opportunity!
At this time, Zhang Chu had just finished Thursday's class and was about to leave, who knew that the counselor had already stopped him outside the classroom.
"Teacher Shen, do you have something to do with me?" Zhang Chu stood at the door of the classroom with his bag on his back, and a group of classmates behind him looked curiously, wanting to eavesdrop on something exciting.
Shen Hao has been serving as their class counselor for more than a year, and both sides have cooperated well, plus they are both young people and there is no generation gap, so there is no serious atmosphere.
"I have good news for you, because your Da Vinci Code is so popular that it has led to a surge in the number of people auditing the religious semiotics classes in the school right now. Today, the 500-seat staircase classroom is crowded with almost 700 people, but there are still many people lingering outside the classroom. Therefore, under the recommendation of Professor Wu Zeyu, the school leaders decided to hire you as a teaching assistant to help Professor Wu Zeyu teach everyone!"
Before Zhang Chu could answer, the group of students behind him dropped their jaws one by one.
"Wow, Zhang Chu is going to be a teaching assistant. ”
"Religious semiotics is really hot, and I have a friend who is said to have to sit at the back of an hour early!"
"Actually, this is reasonable, Zhang Chu wrote about those semiotics very thoroughly, if I went to lecture, I would have to listen to it even if I skipped class. ”
"Awesome, this is only a sophomore year and I'm going to teach the whole school, shouldn't Zhang Chu stay in school to be a professor in the end?"
"Such a good opportunity, quickly agree!"
However, Zhang Chu knew that he had a few pounds and taels, and the things in "The Da Vinci Code" were all things he had read and then looked for materials to study.
This is like knowing the answer to a question, and then reversing the process of solving the question, saving a lot of detours in the middle, and it is also a lot of ingenuity.
He doesn't have a lot of goods in his stomach, and if he goes to teach someone else, it will be like laughing off his big teeth!
So at this time, in the face of the excited counselor, Zhang Chu could only politely decline: "Teacher Shen, I am still a student who needs to study now, how can I teach others." All the ink in my stomach was printed on it, and teaching the rest of the people was a class axe. ”
"There has been a lot of praise for your book, and it is clear that you have indeed achieved something in religious semiotics. Why don't you think about it again?"
As a counselor, Shen Hao certainly hopes that the students in his class can be dazzling.
Zhang Chu's light is already very bright, but it is all success outside the school, if he can still succeed in the school, maybe he will be able to enter the eyes of the leader, and the work in the administration will be easier.
"I'm not being humble. Now I have to prepare for my final exams, I have to prepare a new book, and I have to contact Hollywood from time to time, so it's not appropriate for me as a student to go up and give lectures. ”
Zhang Chu was not moved at all, and was even a little frightened!
As a person with otaku attributes, it is even more uncomfortable for him to give lectures in front of hundreds of people than to kill him.
If it weren't for the gradual training of his courage now, I am afraid that it would be difficult for him to make a group presentation in front of the familiar class!
The party didn't agree, and Shen Hao couldn't overstep his bounds, so he had to sigh and say, "Think about it again, this is really a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity." It's rare for school leaders to be so open-minded, and it's a good thing to talk about. ”
The students who were originally whispering also became a lot quieter at this time, and they would not open their mouths to leave Zhang Chu's mind left and right because of their own thoughts.
This kind of thing still has to be figured out by himself!
"Teacher Shen, don't think about it, if it's inconvenient for you, I'll go directly to that leader. ”
Zhang Chu has the right to refuse, he will not be put on the shelf without saying a word.
"Not really, if you don't want to, we won't force it. This is the case for many courses, and I haven't seen any other teachers find teaching assistants to teach them. That's it, the end of the semester is coming, and you all have to review it up!"
Shen Hao didn't force Zhang Chu either, although he had some regrets, he could accept it.
"Thank you, Mr. Shen, then we'll go first. ”
"Goodbye Mr. Shen~"
After Yang Ling, An Mi, Sun Ruiqi and their party walked out of the teaching building, they said in a low voice of annoyance: "This is an opportunity to be a teacher, it's a pity to miss it!"
"Yes, if I can give lectures to those graduate students and doctoral students, it will be very awesome. ”
"Zhang Chu, you really have the courage, you have to refuse this kind of good thing. ”
"Do you think I don't want to go to class?" I want to go too!" Zhang Chu said helplessly, "But I know how many pounds and taels I have, and I still don't go up to offer ugliness." It's almost as late as I go after I have cultivated my internal skills and really mastered these things. ”
Much of the knowledge of religious symbols in The Da Vinci Code comes from Dan Brown's pen, not Zhang Chu's own.
Now he wants to digest these things in a real sense, and strive to draw inferences from each other, so that the next opportunity will not be rejected because he has no goods in his stomach.
With so many works written in one year, even if he has a savior system, it is impossible to cover everything.
So he secretly made up his mind in his heart that the next step was to slow down the pace and really understand the relevant content of each book, so that he would not have stage fright when he stood on the podium, because those things were completely mastered and absorbed by himself!
