The school auditorium is full of laughter and conversation.

"When Stone first started, it was not positioned as a simple genre comedy." Zhang Tan took the microphone and sat on a chair to answer the host Yuan Sisi's question.

What kind of comedy is "Crazy Stone"?

"I've been exposed to a lot of comedies, like our Fung comedies in the mainland, the, pee, farts and nonsense in Xiangxiang, and many comedies in Hollywood. At that time, I conceived the stone and felt that I needed to take an unusual route, if we talk about ordinary comedy, it is around a main line of the main character, and all kinds of jokes and baggage are designed on the main line. ”

After a pause, Zhang Tan continued: "Then the stone is to wrap this main line into a circle, or to put it another way, cut it into several sections and put it together. Each line has its own line of development, and these veins are entangled with each other, which eventually forms a very complex chain of events. ”

Smiling, Zhang Tan said: "I call this kind of narrative structure a multi-line narrative, I believe that everyone will find it very interesting when they watch the movie later." ”

"I see." Yuan Sisi asked with a smile: "So Senior Brother Tan, is there any difference between making a movie and writing a novel?" ”

"Writing a novel is a thing that works behind closed doors, one person uses his imagination, fights alone, and then is unfettered and imaginative. If you make a movie, you will be constrained by a lot of reality, but the achievements you touch are very real, there is a lot of expectation and satisfaction every day, and the crew is also lively. ”

Zhang Tan had already answered many questions, and Yuan Sisi shifted the target to Chen Li and Wang Xiaoyu.

It was another cheerful exchange.

Then, it was the students' turn to ask questions.

There are all kinds of questions, and Zhang Tan and the three of them sometimes answer seriously, sometimes joke, and have gags. There are also academic exchanges. The atmosphere at the scene was very high, and laughter continued.

"Senior Brother Tan, I want to ask a question that has nothing to do with movies." A beautiful little girl, raising her hand high to ask a question.

Zhang Tan motioned for her to tell what the problem was.

The little girl said: "I just recently finished reading a set of six books of "Smiling Proud Jianghu", and almost all of them agree with Ling Hu Chong's values, he seems to be the embodiment of Taoist thought. I like to be free, carefree, affectionate, wise, and humorous, and I am simply the kind of person I envy and favorite the most. ”

The question is a bit long, but the little girl spoke quickly, with a little northern Su accent: "Because of Ling Hu Chong's bitter love for the little junior sister, I have cried several times." What touched me the most was Yilin's infatuation with him, and I felt that Yilin was in true love for Ling Huchong. At the end, I think Ling Hu Chong doesn't really love Ren Yingying, Ren Yingying is too serious, polite, and cold, they are together, is this really the love that Ling Hu Chong wants, is he really free? ”

Zhang Tan picked up the microphone: "Well, this is indeed a problem that has nothing to do with movies." Let me make a long story short, I can grow old with my son with my son from my first love. It must be a perfect life. Many times, first love is sour and unforgettable, but this does not mean that there will be no love in the future and you can live together. This is true love. ”

When he was just reborn, Zhang Tan also fantasized about vigorous love.

Love at first sight, lingering compassion.

However, such love is very rare after all, and he has never bumped into it. There is a lot of ordinary love in this world, and there are very few happy and indifferent loves between Guo Jing and Huang Rong. Yang Guo and Xiaolongnu have less life-and-death sadomasochism. On the contrary, Zhang Wuji's love of stepping on four boats is a little more.

Of course, the most is actually the general love between Ling Hu Chong and Ren Yingying, which is more common. In reality, many people have had a happy and shy first love, but in the end, they regretted not being together and entering the marriage hall with another person.

Who hasn't had a few relationships that ended in failure?

Zhang Tan also talked about happy and sad love several times in his previous life, and he had a profound understanding.

"Thank you Senior Brother Tan for the answer you gave me, I must say, I have read a lot of martial arts novels, and this "Smiling Proud Jianghu" has surpassed pure martial arts entertainment, which is fantastic." The little girl got the answer and happily praised Zhang Tan a few words.

Zhang Tan smiled and didn't say much.

Today I am bringing "Crazy Stone" to exchange films, not to share my own novel experience. However, the little girl's question still made him feel better, because this "Smiling Proud Jianghu" has been touted since it was put on sale, and it is very huge.

The first volume sold 3 million copies in one month.

In September, the sixth volume was released, and by this time the first volume had already sold 3.5 million copies, and the total sales volume could sell at least 20 million copies. This novel alone brought tens of millions of royalty income to Zhang Tan, not to mention the various sky-high adaptation rights that followed.

Compared with making money, the influence of novels is what Zhang Tan is most excited about.

This "Smiling Proud Jianghu" has made two sentences deeply rooted in the hearts of the majority of readers, one sentence "If you want to practice this skill, you must first go to the palace", and one sentence "People are in the rivers and lakes, and you can't help yourself". It also made a group of characters deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, practicing the undefeated Dongfang of the Sunflower Treasure Book, the star-absorbing Dafa who did whatever it was, the hypocrite Yue Buqun, the leader of the Wuyue Alliance, Zuo Lengchan, and the world's number one master.

Not to mention the three heroines of the little junior sister Yue Lingshan, the infatuated nun Yilin, the holy aunt Ren Yingying, and the male protagonist Ling Hu Chong.

Before it was finished, it attracted many martial arts critics and researchers, who published various review articles and feelings after reading to evaluate the book.

Readers have also left their own reading insights, on Douban reading, there are almost no evaluations below three stars, five stars are the most, four stars are second, and three stars are very few. The score of 9.2 points may not be as dazzling as the 9.4 points of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", but most readers feel that it surpasses any of Zhang Tan's previous novels.

Especially after the finale of the sixth volume was released in September, after reading the novel in its entirety, martial arts critics, researchers, and enthusiasts discussed endlessly, and there was a great deal of momentum that this was a cultural masterpiece rather than a martial arts novel.

Some people discuss the love in the book, some discuss the politics in the book, and some discuss the personalities of the characters in the book, and there is no agreement.

"The best Tan-style martial arts, just because there is a Linghu Chong." -- Ye Hongsheng, a critic of martial arts in Taiwan, immediately published a special commentary in a newspaper column.

In the article, he praised "Smiling Proud Jianghu" to the fullest, starting from the pattern of the rivers and lakes, interpreting from the political struggle, and ending with women's love, infinitely expressing his love for the role of Ling Hu Chong: "Ling Hu Chong wrote all my admiration for the hero, and played a song "Smiling Proud Jianghu" with Ren Yingying, as if expressing his life. ”

Finally, Ye Hongsheng praised at the end of the article and said: "I once sighed that after "Dragon Babu", it is difficult to read better martial arts, and now after reading "Smiling Proud Jianghu", I know that there will be no regrets from now on, and martial arts can be stopped."
