The sixth and final volume of "The Four Famous Hunting Generals" has been released in September. When it comes to the sales figures of a single volume, it is worse than "Xiao Li Flying Knife", basically hovering at the level of two million. But "Xiao Li Flying Knife" has only three volumes, and "Fighting General" has six volumes.

As a series of novels, the value of the four famous catches is generally greater than that of "Xiao Li Flying Knife".

It's a pity that Zhang Tan didn't think about creating the remaining Xiao Li Flying Knife series, otherwise it would definitely be a classic. Fortunately, this alone "Xiao Li Flying Knife" is enough to become the most charming classic in the history of martial arts novels.

Whether it is the four famous catches or Xiao Li Feidao, the copyrights have been sold one after another.

Now Zhang Tan is working on a new book.

After two months of creation during the summer vacation, "Heaven and Dragon Slayer" has completed 450,000 words, and after being delivered to Joint Publishing Co., Ltd., the first volume will be put on the shelves in October, which is also divided into a set of six volumes for sale.

Zhang Tan will finish the book by the end of this year.

Then next year, it will take a year to create the last two parts of the martial arts novel creation plan, "Smiling Proud Jianghu" and "Dragon Babu". After writing these last two novels, he will take a break from writing and start working as a director. The next year is exactly 2006 and the year after 2007.

In 2007, Zhang Tan was just a junior, and he almost finished his directing knowledge and could shoot films independently.

When he finished making his first film, almost 2008, he could use this film as his graduation work. Zhang Tan did not plan to continue his studies after graduation. The reason why he came to Nortel to go to school is because of his strong purpose, which is to learn directing knowledge. Four years of college is sufficient.

Continuing to do research doesn't help much in making movies.

……

On this day, Zhang Tan was returning from school with a book in his hand. Assistant Ma Weiwei informed him of something important: "Boss, the School of Humanities of Zhejiang University hopes to invite you to give a speech at their School of Humanities." ”

Zhang Tan was a little surprised: "Zhejiang University? Faculty of Humanities? ”

"Yes. It is Huang Lousheng, Dean of the School of Humanities of Zhejiang University, who personally sent an invitation, and the School of Humanities hopes that you can give a few speeches or give some lectures to Zhejiang University students. If it's convenient, he wants to talk to you on the phone in person. ”

"Speeches, lectures...... Isn't that too important, I'm a student now. Zhang Tan suppressed the turmoil in his heart and thought cautiously, "Zhejiang University is a famous university in the country, and the College of Humanities is a group of proud children. I was able to be admitted to university because of my fame, so why did I feel uneasy when I was asked to give a speech to college students? ”

Zhang Tan had never thought of giving a speech to college students by himself.

Because in his bones, he always felt that he was actually just that college student, a scumbag with more than 400 points in the college entrance examination. A lot of credit for being able to achieve the current results is the memory of the previous life, not the real ability.

Occasionally go to participate in the "Sword Discussion" a few times, you can also brag, after all, the so-called Sword Discussion. In fact, you compliment me, I compliment you, praise each other, and hold a meeting with him in the China Writers' Association, the same appearance.

"Ancient Legends. The martial arts version has held several sword discussion activities. Some publishing houses have also held martial arts academic exchanges, and Zhang Tan has been there a few times, but he is not enthusiastic. The last time the stage bent the crown press. also said that he wanted to hold a cross-strait martial arts master to discuss swords, but Zhang Tan refused. Didn't get up.

This sword discussion activity can be played idle and boring. It's a trip, and if it's too frequent, it's really not much fun.

However, giving lectures to students or giving special lectures is a good way to disseminate what they have learned in life.

Invited by the School of Humanities of Zhejiang University, it is difficult for Zhang Tan to say that he is not impressed.

When I thought that I could brag in front of so many top students, it felt so good, not to mention how sour.

A person's life, in addition to enjoying life, is not the pursuit of fame and fortune and the like, in short, it is pretending. Celebrities want to pretend to be forced in the spotlight, bosses want to pretend to be forced in front of employees, officials want to pretend to be forced in front of everyone, and big Vs want to pretend to be forced on the Internet.

Zhang Tan also wants to pretend to be forced, and giving a speech is a good way to pretend to be forced.

"With this bit of ink in my stomach, can I successfully pretend to be forced? Will you be able to give a few successful presentations? A speech without a level will not only fail to pretend to be forced, but will lose face and show its original form. Zhang Tan is now in a high position, and he is paying more and more attention to his image.

He is now a young master of literature, a revered famous writer, and represents the word "genius".

Especially among college students, they have a lot of fans, which is much better than those first-line stars. College students have nothing to do, and they like to read martial arts novels the most, and the best written martial arts novels are undoubtedly Zhang Tan.

If the speech is messed up, the image of the wise and martial arts will be greatly frustrated.

"It's just, why has the passion in my heart begun to burst out, it seems that this force, I am pretending!" Zhang Tan bared his teeth and made up his mind.

After a few years of pretending to be a career cultivator, if you can't even pretend to be a speech, what qualifications do you have to mess around.

At that moment, he said: "Weiwei, help me contact Dean Huang Lousheng, I want to talk to him about this speech." ”

Ma Weiwei nodded: "Okay boss." ”

……

Zhang Tan quickly talked to Huang Lousheng on the phone.

After greeting each other, when it came to the topic, Zhang Tan was very curious: "Dean Huang, how did you think that you wanted me to give a speech, I am just a student now, and I am far from experts and scholars." ”

"Tan Zhang, you are too arrogant, you are one of the surpassing predecessors in the field of martial arts novels. Your novels have reached the pinnacle of martial arts novels in terms of reading, writing, and thinking. You are literary and talented beyond most people. I've been working in literature for more than 30 years, and I only know when I see you that fiction can do this. ”

Huang Lousheng's words were simply to praise Zhang Tan to the sky.

Zhang Tan immediately said with sincere fear: "Dean Huang is too exaggerated, I just wrote a few novels. ”

"It's not just about writing novels, I know you're young, born in '86, and you're only twenty years old. However, you can't be judged by your age, your novel attainments are quite high, and your writing skills are quite mature, which can be said to have broken through the barriers of traditional literature and brought great progress to novels and Chinese literature. ”

Well, Zhang Tan is already embarrassed to answer, this hat is too high.

After the praise, Huang Lousheng said: "This time I invited you to give a speech at the School of Humanities of Zhejiang University, hoping that you can teach our students some experience in novel creation. ”

As a dean of Zhejiang University, although he is not the president, he is also a well-known bull, so he praised and invited him so kindly, Zhang Tan is really difficult to refuse.

Besides, I really want to give a passionate speech.

So, in the end, Zhang Tan nodded and agreed to the invitation to speak. (To be continued.) )
