Chapter 120: University Lecture 3
"Mr. Wang, the sand monk in the Journey to the West seems to be a trick, he doesn't have many scenes, and he doesn't have many lines, why is this?" A classmate asks a question. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
"I don't think so, in fact, Monk Sha still has a lot of lines, let me give you a rough summary."
There was a lot of discussion in the audience.
"What lines does the sand monk have?"
"I'm not impressed!"
"Don't talk, listen to Mr. Wang."
I summed it up, and he had a few lines. However, there is no artistic conception in English, I would like to ask a student who can speak Chinese to come to the stage to help me translate, which student is willing? ”
There are many people who know Chinese at Seoul University, but there are not many who speak Chinese well, and the translation is not so simple, and many people think that their level is not enough and they dare not go up and make a fool of themselves.
Quan Enjing shook Taixi beside him vigorously, "Taixi, aren't you very good at Chinese, hurry up!" ”
"I'm not going!"
"No one is going, and if you don't go, you'll be cold." Eun Jing persuaded.
Taixi also hesitated when she heard that it would be cold, and she didn't want Wang Ling to be too embarrassed.
Before she could think about it, Enjing hurriedly raised her hand, this time no one grabbed her anymore, Wang Ling on the stage saw her at a glance, "This classmate, it's you again, do you want to come on stage to help me translate?" ”
"No, it's my classmate, she is very good at Chinese." She desperately pointed to Tay-hee beside her.
Everyone around looked at Tae-hee, which embarrassed the thin-skinned Tae-hee.
"Then please this classmate!" Wang Ling also came to join in the fun.
Taixi, who was still hesitating, saw Wang Ling calling her, so she had to come up to the stage.
As the school flower of Seoul University, Taehee's popularity is still very high, as soon as she came on stage, she caused warm applause from the classmates in the audience, and many people from outside the school saw her for the first time, and they were also attracted by her beautiful face and elegant demeanor, and there were coaxes and whistles one after another.
Standing with Wang Ling, facing thousands of teachers, students, and reporters in the auditorium, made Taixi a little nervous.
"Don't be nervous, I'm here!" Wang Ling whispered to Taixi.
In front of everyone, Wang Ling didn't have any physical movements, but his words suddenly made Taixi relax, which may be the power of love.
"Did someone give her a microphone?" Wang Ling said.
The host had nothing to do from the beginning, she wanted to say that she could also speak Chinese, but everyone came to the stage, how could she drive people down, so she reluctantly handed the microphone in her hand to Taixi.
Wang Ling began to summarize in Chinese, "First sentence, Master Brother, Master was captured by a monster!" The second sentence, second senior brother, the master was captured by a monster! The third sentence, senior brother, the second senior brother was captured by a monster! In the fourth sentence, the senior brother, the master and the second senior brother were all captured by the monster! ”
Wang Ling paused, and waited for Taixi to finish translating before he continued to say the next sentence.
Wang Ling continued, "The fifth sentence, Master, Senior Brother is right! The sixth sentence, senior brother, second senior brother is right! The seventh sentence, the second senior brother, the senior brother is right! ”
The audience began to snicker.
"Sentence eight, Master, don't worry, the senior brother will come to save us. Sentence 9, Master! You can't get rid of the big brother! ”
"Sentence ten, Second Senior Brother, this is your mistake! The eleventh sentence, second senior brother, you just say two words less! ”
Speaking of which, there was more and more laughter from the audience.
"The last sentence, Amitabha~"
The audience finally burst out laughing.
"You see, Sha Seng has so many lines, he is indispensable in the whole Journey to the West, and if he is less, he will have less taste, don't you say?"
Seeing that Wang Ling finished saying Sha Seng's lines and didn't need to translate them himself, Tai Xi consciously ran back to his seat.
"Mr. Wang, how long did it take you to create this work?"
"Mr. Wang, under what circumstances did you come up with the idea of writing this novel?"
"Mr. Wang, this novel of yours has a far-reaching impact, does anyone help you apply for the Nobel Prize in Literature?"
All kinds of questions came one after another, and Wang Ling also answered them one by one.
After answering the questions, Wang Ling continued his speech.
Although Journey to the West is a novel of gods and demons, his literary nature is relatively strong, and there are not as many people who like his martial arts novels.
Wang Ling then began to talk about his martial arts novels.
At present, his Condor trilogy has all been on the market, causing great repercussions, as the originator of the world's martial arts novels, and compared with various subsequent works, these three books have been praised as masterpieces in the martial arts novel industry.
As the Olympic champion of the "project" of martial arts novels, Wang Ling's extraordinary writing skills are even more talked about.
"I write martial arts to construct a chivalrous spectrum through romantic narratives. As a 'literature of dreams', martial arts novels are not known for their realism, and their character creation mainly comes from my imagination and writing tradition, and the procedural factor in the writing tradition is another matter, my imagination is mainly allegorical and symbolic, and it does not directly come from reality. As a classic, my novel is precisely because it expresses symbolic, allegorical, implicit and inexhaustible extra-verbal meanings, intriguing rhymes and other things that belong to the requirements of classical Chinese culture through the procedural form in the tradition, and with the help of the unique martial arts language and culture, we have made a utopian flight that can be called a feat. ”
After saying this, the audience burst into warm applause.
"The novels of modern Chinese new literature are actually quite out of touch with the Chinese literary tradition, whether they are written by Ba Lao, Mao Dun or Lu Xun, they are actually foreign novels written in Chinese...... Chinese art has its own unique expression...... People often ask me, why are martial arts novels so popular? Of course, there are many reasons for this, but I think the main reason is because martial arts novels are novels in the Chinese form, and of course Chinese people like to read novels in the Chinese form. ”
"Whether it's a martial arts novel, a romance novel, a detective novel, or whatever, as long as it's a good novel, it's a good novel, and it doesn't matter what form it's used to express it. A well-written martial arts novel that has literary significance is a good novel, and the same is true of other novels. After all, the martial arts in martial arts novels are just its form. ”
Wang Ling looked at his watch, "It's almost time, and the rest of the time is left for everyone to ask questions." ”
When the time for questions came, the audience was raising their hands again.
"May I ask Mr. Wang, is your next novel still a martial arts novel? Or is it like Harry. Fantasy novels like Spinte? ”
"Yes, the next one is martial arts."
"And what's going to be written in the next book?"
Wang Ling thought for a while, "I have already thought of the next book, it is called Tianlong Babu, the protagonist of this book is no longer single, but there are three people, three sworn brothers each of their own adventure stories." ”
"The three protagonists? Isn't it offensive to write like this? After all, in order to pursue the reader's sense of substitution, previous novels were dedicated to writing a protagonist. ”
"That's a good question, this is a great work, and the readability will surpass that of the Condor Trilogy, and you'll know when my book comes out." (To be continued.) )
