Text Chapter 108 Literature and Art Class
The literature and art teacher of the Chinese language and literature major is an old man in his fifties named An Biaoyuan.
This teacher An is kind and good-looking, with a not too big beer belly, wearing black-framed glasses, and smiling all day long, like a Maitreya Buddha. And he lectures with a sense of humor, so everyone likes him very much.
When Fang Tianwu and Gu Qianfan came to the classroom, Teacher An was preparing the lesson plan on the podium, and the class bell just rang at this time.
Seeing Fang Tianyu, this teacher An showed a kind smile and said, "Student Fang, we meet again, this should be the second time we have met this semester." ”
The first semester of the freshman year was almost over, but he had only met the subject teacher twice, Fang Tianwu was also a little embarrassed at the moment, and hurriedly said, "I'm sorry, Mr. An, it's my fault." ”
Teacher An waved his hand: "It's okay, your situation is quite special, and you can match such a beautiful tune for "Water Tune Song Head", if your literary literacy is not at a very high level, if you don't have a deep understanding of "Water Tune Song Head", it will never be possible, for this, I also admire you." ”
In fact, the school has already greeted the teachers of various subjects, Fang Tianyu's situation is special, and the teachers of various subjects want special things for him, and he can't be embarrassed by attendance or test results, not to mention that this teacher An himself also appreciates Fang Tianyu.
"The teacher has won the prize. Fang Tianwu hurriedly said.
"Alright, let's go back to our seats, it's time for class. Huh, classmate Gu is also there? I heard that you sang "I Wish People Were Long"?"
Gu Qianfan nodded slightly, and Teacher An smiled: "Sing very well, and now I am also your fan." ”
"Thank you, teacher. Gu Qianfan said, and then followed Fang Tianwu to the last row of the classroom to sit, and stuck out his tongue at Fang Tianxuan.
After all the students in the class were seated, Teacher An began to lecture. I saw him take out a beautiful book, pointed to the big characters of "Tianlong Babu" on it, and said to his classmates: "This novel, even if you haven't read it, you have heard of it, right?"
"Yes!"
Teacher An carefully touched the cover of "Tianlong Babu" and said, "This is the fourth volume of the newly published "Tianlong Babu", which I asked my son to grab after waiting in line for a long time in the bookstore. ”
Everyone couldn't help laughing, obviously they didn't expect Mr. An to be so obsessed with martial arts novels.
I heard Teacher An ask again, "Do you know which two novels are the most popular now?"
Zhang Lele raised his right hand and said, "It's "Dragon Babu" and "Peerless Double Pride"!"
"That's right!" Teacher An said: "The four volumes of the complete works of "The Peerless Double Pride" have been published, and the last volume of "Tianlong Babu" is left. I have checked the information, and the total sales of these two novels have exceeded 100 million yuan, and the total sales volume has exceeded 100 million! This is only the sales in China, and the foreign ones have not been counted. ”
Everyone was in an uproar immediately, and the boys knew that these two novels were a hot mess, and they were popular both on the Internet and in reality, but the total sales of more than 100 million shocked them.
Gu Qianfan couldn't help but say to Fang Tianwu beside him: "Wow! These two authors are very powerful, with this sales, they can become billionaires by collecting royalties." ”
"yes. Fang Tianxuan nodded.
Indeed, "The Peerless Twins" has been serialized on the Zhouguang Blog, and the last single book published by Wanshan Group was also put on the shelves some time ago.
"The Peerless Twins" has a total of four single volumes, and each volume has sold as much as 10 million. The "Dragon Babu" published by Crown Publishing House is also not far behind, the two are inseparable in the book market, and its frightening sales have also amazed the domestic publishing industry.
Thanks to this, the stock prices of Crown Publishing House and Wanshan Group have been greatly boosted and have risen several rounds.
According to the contract between Fang Tianyu and these two publishing houses, in the royalties alone, he can currently get hundreds of millions of money!
Of course, the money has to be paid in installments, but Fang Tianwu doesn't need to worry about the money owed to him by Crown Publishing House and Wanshan Group, because their publishing rights are only three years, while martial arts novels like "Dragon Babu" and "Peerless Double Pride" can be reprinted one by one, and if they want to continue the publishing rights, they can't offend Fang Tianyu.
It is precisely because of the backing of these hundreds of millions of funds that Fang Tianyu dares to invest heavily in Zhouguang Blog, Tiancheng Culture and "Little Bird Music" at the same time.
In particular, the Zhouguang blog itself does not have a stable profit channel, and its development requires continuous investment of funds, which can scare ordinary investors away at a speed of burning money.
In fact, thanks to the importance of intellectual property in China in this time and space, the problem of piracy in the field of books has been greatly curbed, and the interests of many book authors have been protected.
With the popularity of "Dragon Babu" and "The Peerless Double Pride", many film and television culture companies are looking for the authors "Lao Cha" and "Xiong Da", because martial arts novels have always had a tradition of being adapted into film and television dramas, and these two novels are grandmaster-level works, so these companies will naturally not let go.
However, Crown Publishing House and Wanshan Group have signed extremely strict confidentiality agreements with Fang Tianyu, and they cannot disclose the information of the original authors of the two novels, otherwise they will have to compensate for the sky-high liquidated damages. As a result, no matter how much the companies tried to coerce and induce the two publishers, they never got the information they wanted.
For the film and television adaptations of these two novels, Fang Tianwu has another layout, so he will not release it easily.
At this time, Teacher An's words pulled Fang Tianyu's thoughts back from drifting farther and farther.
I only heard Mr. An say: "I also watched the ending of "The Peerless Twins", how to say it, the general plot is in my expectation, because although Xiong Da's pen is strange, the main plot is still relatively simple, so the two protagonists recognize each other, and finally retire with beauty It is not difficult to guess. ”
Regarding Mr. An's opinion, Fang Tianyu also agreed. The main line of the book "The Peerless Twins" is relatively simple, and the whole story revolves around the two protagonists, focusing on the ups and downs of the process.
"Next, let's talk about "Dragon Babu", speaking of this work, I have to say that Lao Cha and Xiong Da are both grandmaster-level characters in the novel industry. As Mr. Zhong Luolei, a martial arts master, said, although they have only published one work, Lao Cha and Xiong Da are definitely not fledgling people, but a generation of grandmasters who have completed their internal cultivation and are invincible as soon as they make a move!"
Mr. An said: "Relatively speaking, I personally prefer Lao Cha, because in addition to the simple martial arts plot, "Dragon Babu" also involves the society, politics, ethnicity, culture, etc. at that time, and the overall pattern is grand and far-reaching, and even gives people the illusion of browsing history.
The focus of "The Peerless Twins" is all on the sinister rivers and lakes, and in terms of pattern alone, Xiong Da is inferior to Lao Cha. ”
The students listened with relish, Mr. An is a tutor of literature and art, and he likes to analyze the theme of domestic and foreign literary works when he lectures.
The boys were naturally defeated, and those girls who were originally not very interested in martial arts novels were all taken into the pit by Mr. An.
"Everyone knows that I like to speculate on the plot of novels, and now that "Dragon Babu" is almost over, we might as well guess what the ending of each person in this book will be. Teacher An said.
Chen Jialuo said at this time: "What else, Duan Yu has Wang Yuyan, Xuzhu has Menggu, and Xiao Feng has Ah Zi." ”
Everyone laughed when they heard this, and Teacher An couldn't help but laugh, and said: "Xiao Feng and Ah Zi are afraid that it will be difficult to become a family, Xiao Feng is a hero, and he attaches great importance to morality and ethics, and he will not attack his sister-in-law." And he has no love for Ah Zi, and more importantly, Lao Cha's setting for him, he is wholeheartedly devoted to Ah Zhu, and he feels guilty for killing Ah Zhu by mistake for the rest of his life, if he finally empathizes with Ah Zi, it will make his image of this character collapse. ”
Fang Tianwu thought that Teacher An's analysis was right, and at this time, he saw Teacher An's gaze looking at him beyond everyone, and said with a smile: "Student Fang, I want to hear your opinion." ”
"Me?" Fang Tianxuan pointed to himself.
Teacher An smiled and nodded, Fang Tianwu had no choice but to stand up and said, "Duan Yu and Xuzhu's endings should be good, it's Xiao Feng'......"
"How is Xiao Feng?" asked Teacher An.
Fang Tianwu said: "Xiao Feng is dead!"
After he said this, everyone, including Gu Qianfan next to him, showed a look of surprise.
Zhang Lele even said: "Old Fang, don't talk nonsense, Xiao Feng's martial arts are so strong, who else in the world can put him to death except for the sweeping monk?"
Teacher An's expression was a little solemn: "Student Fang, why do you have such an opinion?"
Because the conflict point on Xiao Feng's body is too strong, the conflict between the two hostile nations is almost concentrated on him. So I think that the day when the people's *clan*spear*shield breaks out, it will be the day when Xiao Feng will die!"
Teacher An couldn't help but nodded, and said slowly: "Actually, I also have such a hunch, in terms of character creation, Lao Cha's description of Xiao Feng is almost perfect. Xiao Feng is wise and courageous, in martial arts, he is talented in martial arts, and in terms of personality, he has the world in mind to distinguish between right and wrong. That's why I said that Xiao Feng is really a hero, and he deserves to stand up to the sky!
It's just that people who are too perfect are not tolerated by the world after all. And as classmate Fang said, in the conflict between two hostile nations, and in a high position, once the people's * clan * spear * shield erupts, it is difficult for him to have a good end. ”
Listening to Mr. An's analysis, Fang Tianhu had to admire, because Mr. An was different from him, Mr. An didn't know the final ending of "Dragon Babu", these things were all based on his personal speculation.
"Teacher, Xiao Feng is such a good person, we don't want him to die. A girl said.
"Okay, these are just the words of my family, what is the ending of Xiao Feng, it depends on how Lao Cha will write. Teacher An smiled.
