Chapter 222: The Melancholy Prince, Free and Handsome

Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.

The greatness of "Ode to the West Wind" is, of course, inseparable from the background of the times in which it appeared, when the European world, all kinds of workers' revolutionary movements flourished, the roar of the machine qì pushed the great era forward, the class contradictions were increasingly intensified, and all kinds of cold-blooded suppression were indispensable under the blood, in this environment, the poet sang the melody of life with a fearless heart, and composed an immortal song for the vigorous revolutionary movement.

However, the reason why this poem can be praised to this day, in addition to the characteristics of the times, the artistic charm of the poem itself plays a more important role, especially the timeless and profound sentence at the end of the sentence "Winter is coming, will spring be far away" has become a famous sentence that has inspired countless people.

At this time, this poem appeared in Cambridge University, and suddenly came to the front of these proud people, for a while, they even felt a little at a loss, especially those unruly and confident local students, after expressing reservations to Liu Jingting, a Chinese student, suddenly read this poem, and felt very embarrassed.

And when Liu Jingting's process of writing this poem was revealed, the more interesting it became.

"Everyone saw it with their own eyes, and there was no exaggeration, and the big boy from China did write "Ode to the West Wind" in less than 40 minutes, and he was directing the rehearsals of the play called "Hamlet", and all the actors could testify. ”

This post is exactly what Austin is doing, and the drama is about to be performed, so it is a waste of luxury not to make a fuss about such a gimmick.

After the poem appeared, there was naturally no doubt about Liu Jingting's writing ability, and "Hamlet" also showed a good face in front of everyone, and then, the latest issue of "University Daily" came out, and everyone saw Liu Jingting's official response.

"There are a thousand Hamlets in the eyes of a thousand readers. ”

The literal meaning of this phrase is easy to understand. It is nothing more than that different people will have different experiences when they read the same book, similar to Mr. Lu Xun's comment to the readers of "Dream of Red Mansions", the scholar sees "Yi", and the Taoist sees the obscene ......

Therefore, such a concise sentence was quickly seen by those theoretical researchers in the Faculty of Letters, and it was immediately cited as a golden sentence, and there is a saying in literary studies called "reading experience", which is aimed at the relationship between the reader and the text, after all. The reader is the foothold and the point of literary creation, and this kind of research is ultimately used to guide the author.

Any writer who claims that "his writing has nothing to do with his readers" is bragging.

Because a text without a reader is equivalent to a product without a consumer, i.e. without any meaning of existence.

In addition, in addition to dramas and literary works. This comment can be used in film and television works and even in everyday objects, just like in another world. This phrase quickly became a buzzword. "Hamlet" became popular in this way.

……

"A truly successful advertising slogan is one that eventually becomes a buzzword, and Director Liu's words are really a stroke of genius. ”

On the day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, this group of cultural exchange envoys from Vientiane naturally wanted to get together, Ye Hao and Sun Boya booked a hotel in Cambridge Town three days ago, and during the banquet, everyone talked about this drama. Ye Ju couldn't help but praise Liu Jingting.

"It should be that the foreshadowing of the poem is so well done, I read it several times, and I especially love the last line, if winter comes. Spring can still have to wait for a long time, and it feels very meaningful. Sun Boya continued.

Yang Lilu suddenly said: "The original sentence is 'Winter is coming, will spring be far away'." ”

Everyone's eyes were focused on Yang Lilu, and Kang Lingyue asked, "The original text, how do you know the original text?"

Yang Lilu suddenly remembered that she was sick that night, Liu Jingting was afraid that she would be bored, so she played a translation game with herself, this poem was read out casually by him that night, but about the situation that night, she insisted that she knew nothing, and now she was suddenly asked, she who had never lied suddenly panicked, her face instantly turned red, a nervous hand trembled, and a chopstick fell off, even more wolf.

Liu Jingting hurriedly continued: "Before doing the English translation of "Hamlet", I wrote this poem by hand and asked the half-immortal to help translate it, so she is the first reader in the world to read the Chinese version of this poem, speaking of which, this time I also want to thank her, the English translation, 90% of her credit." ”

"Oh, so this poem was originally in Chinese?" Yan Jing, a female teacher with more life experience, took over.

"Yes. ”

Liu Jingting was inconvenient to explain too much, so he simply replied, and at the same time, the waiter changed a new pair of chopsticks for Yang Lilu.

"It's easy to come to such a level, envy your brain. Ye Hori said.

"A little bit of luck. ”

"It's talent. ”

Liu Jingting smiled modestly and stopped explaining.

After dinner, everyone was free to visit this beautiful rural town, with Yang Lilu, Kang Lingyue and Liu Jingting as a team, and Ye Hao and Sun Boya accompanied the two teachers.

"I visited here when I was a sophomore at university and the town of Cambridge has done a great job of preserving the old buildings, and the trees lining the streets are very interesting. ”

Kang Lingyue incarnated as a tour guide and explained.

"It's a famous equestrian show, I don't remember exactly. ”

"Half ......" Kang Lingyue was about to call "half immortal", but as soon as she called out a word, she quickly stopped, smiled apologetically, and said, "Xiao Yang, you have also been here?"

Yang Lilu glared at Liu Jingting and said, "I came here when I was very young, and I remember watching an equestrian show." ”

"The Melbourne Cup equestrian competition between Cambridge and Australia had 13 horses from this town. Liu Jingting said confidently.

"You've been here too?" asked Kang Lingyue.

"Well, I've read the guide, why, you don't read the guide when you travel abroad?"

Yang Lilu and Kang Lingyue both cast disdainful glances at Liu Jingting, and Liu Jingting continued calmly: "There are more antiques and art goods stores here, bring a few when you return to China." ”

Yang Lilu glanced at him and said, "Want to cover up your tyrannical temperament?"

"No, some of it can be given away, and some of it can be used to decorate my magazine office. ”

Yang Lilu was about to continue to make sarcastic remarks, but she heard Liu Jingting say: "Speaking of half-immortals, what type of objects do you like?"

"Me?"

"Yes, "Hamlet" and "Ode to the West Wind", I owe you two favors. ”

"I don't need it, isn't this okay?" Yang Lilu frowned.

"You deserve the award and the prize money. It has nothing to do with the human debt I owe you. ”

"Hey, can I interject?" Kang Lingyue suddenly answered.

Kang instructed you. ”

"You just said the certificate and the prize money?"

"Oh, I'm kidding. ”

Kang Lingyue was relieved and thought: "This competition hasn't even started, you will customize the award, of course it's a joke." ”

"The certificate of merit refers to a certificate of honor, and I agreed with Demixian before that the honorary certificate and prize money of the world champion of "Hamlet" will be shared equally with her. ”

"Who said I wanted your bonus, you layman!" Yang Lilu reprimanded.

"It's not a question of whether you want it or not, it's the rule. As the core figure of the team, what qualifications do you have to refuse the bonus?" Liu Jingting criticized righteously.

Kang Lingyue held her forehead, looked at the two boys and girls in front of her who "completely missed the point" and "had inexplicable self-confidence", and asked, "Isn't this drama competition not started yet?" Why do you split the prize money?"

"Ah?!" Yang Lilu and Liu Jingting said in unison, "Director Kang, do you think "Hamlet" can't win the award?"

"This ......" Kang Lingyue looked at the disbelief expressions of the two and suddenly felt so guilty. It's so unsociable. "Of course, this is sure to win the prize." ”

"yes, just read the script. Yang Lilu said naturally, making Kang Lingyue sweat again.

"Okay, it's far away, what do you like like half-immortal, remember to tell me then. You're welcome, what about Director Kang, as well as Director Kang and Dean Wen, do they have any special hobbies?"

Yang Lilu glanced at him again. Snorted softly, obviously not appreciating this kind of style, but when Liu Jingting inadvertently passed by her left, he whispered in her ear: "There is also the matter of magazines." ”

Yang Lilu reacted quickly and asked, "How do you know?" As soon as this sentence came out, she suddenly screamed badly, which was tantamount to admitting that she had secretly tried to help.

Liu Jingting glanced back at her with a smile, and suddenly said a word: "Stupid." ”

At that time, the lights of the town were dim, and the clear night sky of England was full of stars, Liu Jingting suddenly replied and said "stupid" to Yang Lilu, which angered the pretty girl.

Then, "Liu Jingting, you pig, stop for me" resounded on a certain country road.

……

After the Chinese New Year, Liu Jingting devoted himself more wholeheartedly to the drama, in terms of plot, the two British directors automatically took him as the main director, and the modification of the lines, with Yang Lilu, an English expert, naturally did not have to worry about finding a suitable vocabulary expression, in terms of stage and costumes, with Kang Lingyue, an old partner, Liu Jingting's meaning wanted to express could basically be conveyed clearly.

In other aspects, Ye and Sun are responsible for daily affairs, including food, clothing, housing and transportation, and arranging daily outings, while the two teachers are responsible for communicating with the Cambridge school authorities.

Time seems to pass especially quickly in the orderly days, half a month of time slips away inadvertently, and "Hamlet" finally ushered in the day of its own big performance.

There was basically no suspense about the outcome of the performance, and "Hamlet" was only halfway through, and the audience was completely sure that this was the champion!

As soon as the play ended, the leaders and judges sitting in the first row couldn't wait to stand up and offer their applause, and for a while, the Cambridge auditorium was swallowed up by a sea of applause.

After Liu Jingting came to the stage, the ocean-like applause was raised to a higher level, and in this world-class famous school, everyone never skimped on their applause for the real strong.

Liu Jingting's speech was very brief, and it was the sentence: "For a thousand readers, there are a thousand Hamlets!"

……

As soon as Liu Jingting's sentence ended, China, which is eight time zones away from the United Kingdom, is also giving birth to a group event related to him: "Qianhong confirms the end of Chu Liuxiang's series, and thousands of readers have held various commemorative activities!"

The book review area of "Breaking the Sky" is all red because of this, and it is basically the champion of the monthly pass in advance! (to be continued......

ps: The first chapter is paving the way for "Shooting the Condor", and now that I confirm the detailed outline, I still feel a little nervous, and I feel that the qiē I did before is all paving the way for the advent of this king, don't write it badly!
