Chapter 12: Finishing
No amount of argument or explanation can be more useful than the facts. What is a fact? The live video of Zhu Ziqing's speech is a fact.
When the video appeared in front of everyone's eyes, everyone invariably paused the quarrel and turned on the video.
After many days of pointless arguments, they were desperate to find evidence to defeat each other in the video. Then, everyone fell silent.
Supporters, opponents, and neutrals stopped talking, as if they had been collectively silenced.
Everyone knows that it's not that everyone has nothing to say, but that they have to say too much, and they don't know how to speak for a while.
The silence was only temporary, and soon someone couldn't help but stand up.
First of all, the writer Mobei said publicly in an interview with the media:
"Seeking common ground while reserving differences is a great goodness. Due to differences in experience, personality, living environment, etc., each person's understanding of the Analects is different. Everyone understands the truth of this sentence, but how many people can do it in real life?
Especially in the field of literature, what doesn't suit me is heresy, and this has been the case for thousands of years. Even now, it's still the case. This kind of either/or thinking really goes against my traditional culture of forgiveness and forbearance.
Today, Zhu Ziqing said no to this kind of narrow thinking for the first time in his lecture on the Analects. He also put forward the viewpoint of seeking common ground while reserving differences. This kind of open-mindedness makes me both admire and shame. He is really practicing Confucius's path of benevolence with practical actions. ”
Coincidentally, ******, a current commentary expert, also said in public:
The interpretation of the Analects by the predecessors is not wrong, but it is not up to date with the times. In his speech, Zhu Ziqing questioned the annotations of his predecessors. The normal way is to completely deny the different views of the predecessors and elevate oneself. But Zhu Ziqing didn't do it.
Before questioning his predecessors, he first made a statement. The annotations of the predecessors are not wrong, and they are in line with the social relations of the time. It's just that time has passed, and social relations have changed. Looking at their commentaries from a modern perspective, there are too many fallacies.
People's way of thinking is limited by the times and has the limitations of the times. The same is true for us, and after a hundred years, our commentaries will not be considered a fallacy.
Moreover, before rejecting a certain senior's commentary, they will apologize to that senior in advance. This kind of modesty, sincerity, and truth-seeking attitude. It is worth learning from my generation.
It is precisely because of the lack of recognition of others that there are so many incidents in this world. ”
Although the two of them did not directly comment on the content of the speech, they praised Zhu Ziqing's mind from the side. But discerning people can see at a glance that they agree with Zhu Ziqing's point of view.
Some people took the lead, and others were not willing to be lonely and began to express their opinions in public. Although the number of people who praise it has increased, the number of opponents is still in the majority.
In this regard, Zhu Ziqing was not in a hurry at all. It is not an overnight thing for any new mind to be accepted. Too many advanced ideas have waited for tens or hundreds of years to flourish.
He didn't expect everyone to watch the video and become his fans. That's unrealistic. As long as it can infect some people and bring thinking to more people, it is a victory.
He believes that over time, more and more people will accept his ideas. And the most important thing for him is time.
After finishing what should be done, Zhu Ziqing quieted down and lived a normal student life, attending classes every day. Soak in the library.
Lin Baoer was at school, so he went to rent a house to live in a two-person world. Lin Baoer went to be busy with the company's affairs. He went back to the dormitory to play with his roommates.
Even though he wanted to act as usual, his life changed. The eyes of his classmates changed when they looked at him, with a little more admiration and a little more alienation.
Another change is that Ai Jiange often asked him to exchange his thoughts on the Analects. He didn't think much about it, he just thought that Ai Jiange simply wanted to understand the content behind.
Since it began, he didn't plan to hide the follow-up content. Sooner or later, it will be assembled and published as a book. Now Ai Jiange wants to know, and it's okay to tell him.
He is not worried that Ai Jiange will encroach on his works, and such works involving the field of thought are very related to the context.
There is no need for any evidence at all, just look at the context to see who wrote it. And he also believes that Ai Jiange's person will not do such a shameless thing.
As for the content of the book leaked in advance and affecting sales, it is even less worrying.
This kind of book even if everyone knows the content. I will still buy what I should buy. Even, because of the wide spread, those who were originally reluctant to buy will also enter the bookstore.
Such a peaceful and fulfilling life lasted for many days, except for the occasional observation to understand everyone's latest views on the video, Zhu Ziqing hardly cared about anything else.
On this day, he didn't go to the library after class, and Lin Baoer said that he would be back tonight, so he had to go back to the house early.
I went to the supermarket and bought some fresh vegetables, and when I got back to the house, I was ready to go to the kitchen to cook. Zhu Ziqing is not a glutton, but he lived alone for so long in his previous life, and he would cook a lot of dishes.
In the past, most of the time I made it for myself. After living together, as long as he has nothing to do, he will show his skills and make loving meals for Lin Baoer.
As soon as I got to the kitchen, I heard my phone ringing. As soon as I looked at the call number, I froze for a moment. Wang Zhibo, what did he call for?
"Mr. Wang, hello. ”
"Hello Mr. Zhu, I didn't bother you. Wang Zhibo said angrily.
"No, I don't know if Mr. Wang called at this time for advice?" Although he said no, Zhu Ziqing still went straight to the point. Lin Bao'er will be there in a while, and he has to hurry up to make the meal.
"Don't dare to be, we should ask you for advice. After a few months, Mr. Zhu made a great name in the literary world, and we were really both admired and shocked. ”
"Huh...... Mr. Wang has won the award, let's get down to business. ”
"Look at me, when I talk about it, I forget all about it. That's right, "Black Hole" has been filmed, and the post-editing is almost done. I would like to ask Mr. Zhu to come over and check to see if there is anything that needs to be modified. ”
Wang Zhibo didn't do anything wrong at all, and the call has always maintained etiquette. On the contrary, Zhu Ziqing's performance was a little rude.
But now he keeps apologizing, this is the change in identity brought about by fame, status, and strength.
Don't say that Zhu Ziqing is just a little impatient, even if he says something unpleasant. Wang Zhibo will still think that he made a mistake and keep apologizing.
"Shot?" Zhu Ziqing asked in surprise.
He barely asked about "Black Hole". It's not that this story is bad, on the contrary, this is a classic anti-crime theme, and the ratings will not be low.
It's just that he cares more about "Soldier Assault" than "Black Hole". Of course, this has something to do with the fact that Chenghai Entertainment doesn't want him to ask. I didn't think about it, this drama was filmed so quickly.
I just don't know if Wang Zhibo really wanted him to give his opinion when he called at this time, or if it was a routine matter. But it should be the latter, otherwise it should be the director or producer who made the call.
"Yes, it was just finished a few days ago, and now it's in the late stage. Wang Zhibo replied.
"Oh, I see. I haven't been involved in this drama from beginning to end, so I won't watch it. So as not to cause chaos to the crew. Zhu Ziqing thought for a while and refused directly.
"How, you are the original author, your opinion is very important. Wang Zhibo hurriedly said.
"Novels are different from TV series, and adaptations are inevitable. I didn't participate in the script adaptation, I don't know the specific situation, and it's useless to go. How could Zhu Ziqing take these polite words seriously.
"Well, you have a point. Since you don't want to come, then we won't force it. But it's a shame not to have you, the original author, involved. Wang Zhibo did not insist on his opinion, but followed his words.
His words verified Zhu Ziqing's guess that Wang Zhibo made this call just to show respect for himself. I don't really want to get myself involved.
In their original plan, they probably weren't ready to inform themselves. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been without contact with myself for so long.
It's just that he has been in the literary world recently, and Tao Yingshuang's relationship is there. Let them not dare to do things too much. So I asked Wang Zhibo, the vice president of the TV drama department, to call him.
If you agree without knowing anything, Wang Zhibo won't say anything. But when it's time to watch the film, I'll wait to be a stickman.
The literary circle and the entertainment industry are very close, but I have never proven myself in the TV drama circle. No wonder they don't trust me. Hanging up the phone, Zhu Ziqing thought helplessly.
But he wasn't angry, he wasn't discouraged. The world speaks by strength, and when you don't prove yourself, it's normal to be underestimated by others.
But he believes that these two TV series will make them rediscover themselves. Especially in "Soldier Assault", he is even more confident.
Thinking of "Soldier Assault", he remembered that he hadn't been in contact with the crew for a while. I don't know how the shooting went.
When I opened QQ, I was about to make a noise in the group, but after thinking about it, I decided to call Chen Guoli. It's polite that way.
"Hey, Mr. Zhu. It's really rare, aren't you busy in the literary world? How do you remember that my old Chen is here. Chen Guoli looked very happy, and said loudly as soon as he answered the phone.
"I haven't been in touch for a few days, so Director Chen gave me a look. But if you hear your voice and know that everything is going well, then I will be relieved. Zhu Ziqing also laughed and said.
treats Chen Guoli and Wang Zhibo, he has completely two attitudes. Chen Guoli is a director with real talent and real learning. Although he is a bit cunning, he is generally not bad. The most important thing is that the two get along well. So he spoke very politely.
Wang Zhibo is just a person with convenient administration, there are too many such people. Although he spoke very politely, he had no friendship with Zhu Ziqing. Naturally too lazy to talk to him so much.
"I'm happy not because everything is going well, but because Mr. Zhu you called me. Chen Guoli joked.
"Okay, okay, okay, Director Chen's mouth is really powerful. Whatever is dead can be said to be alive. I still have something to say, so I won't tell you more. I called mainly to ask, when will our TV series be completed. (To be continued.) )
