Chapter 195: Talking

"Hello audience friends, I'm the host Xiaowei, and welcome everyone to watch the show every Friday night." The host Xiaowei first appeared in the camera and said while standing in the studio hall.

"In today's conversation, we invited a group of people who have been talking about a lot recently, they became famous at a young age, they are talented, they have made achievements far beyond their peers, but at the same time, some of their actions have caused criticism from many experts, scholars and the public, what kind of people are they? Please invite the winners of the Sprout Competition, Gu Cheng, Lian Jun, Lei Tian, and Yu Shi. ”

"Papapa", accompanied by a burst of electronic music, the audience who were lucky enough to come to the studio hall applauded. Amid this welcoming applause, four young men entered the hall from the side.

"Hello everyone, I'm Gu Cheng." "Hello everyone, I'm Lian Jun." "Hello everyone, I'm Lei Tian." "Hello everyone, I'm Yu Shi."

Three men and one woman, the four of them greeted the audience first after they came on stage. Then the host took the microphone.

"Okay, our young writers are already in the studio, so you must have a lot of questions to ask, don't worry. In this program, three guests were also invited, namely Zheng Shiwen, a young writer from Shanghai, Wang Shengshu, a famous journalist, and Professor Chen Lian, an education expert. ”

When the guests appeared, Gu Cheng looked around, very depressed, and looked at the few excited boys and girls around him, and couldn't help but sigh, it's good to be young! Such an ignorant person on stage can be difficult for a while.

Although the host didn't let him sit, Gu Cheng didn't give anyone face, he looked at the big sofa behind him, and sat down, and a few next to him, who were also from the same background, were a little more familiar, and they all sat down when they saw this.

After a while, when the guests were seated, the host said sweetly to the camera: "According to the usual practice, let's take a look at the big screen first!" ”

"Huh? What the? Gu Cheng thought in his heart, and then found that a wall inside suddenly shone, and the figures of himself and the other three people appeared on it, which was a photo. Gu Cheng knew at a glance that this was taken at the end of the shoot competition.

With Gu Cheng as the main body, supplemented by the other three, there were many videos on the big screen, and Gu Cheng didn't know when the process of signing and selling books was also filmed. Looking at the other three people, they coexisted with shyness and nervousness, and their expressions were equal to excitement and pride.

After a video was played, a hostess in her thirties named Xiaowei picked up the microphone and asked the audience: "How are they, I've watched so many things, even I think they are amazing." You say, "Don't you?" ”

"Yes." A very loud voice broke out below, mixed with a faint "so handsome". Obviously, Lian Jun and Lei Tian are both average-looking, and Yu Shi is a girl, so it has nothing to do with being handsome. The two guests are unsightly in appearance, naturally, they are talking about Gu Cheng.

Hearing the shouts from the audience, Gu Cheng smiled at the corner of his mouth, and bowed his head slightly, causing several screams.

"Huh. It seems that there are quite a lot of viewers who like Gu Cheng. The host teased, and then began to ask questions.

"Gu Cheng, can you tell us about your experience in writing the novel "Da Ming"? I think the audience is very curious about the circumstances under which such an epoch-making book was written. ”

"Yes." Gu Cheng took the microphone and thought for a moment: "Da Ming, this idea, from the ancient legend of the immortals in China, when I look at history, it is mixed with some assumptions, so a story that contains the world of mundane life and seeking immortals appeared in my mind, when I won the first place in the sprout competition, Mr. Jiang encouraged me to write it bravely, so I returned home and spent a month to complete it." ”

"Wow! You can write a masterpiece of 300,000 words in a month, which is really amazing. After hearing this, the host hurriedly praised it. The other three were then questioned. Even if the sales of the other three are not as high as Gu Chenggao, they are still the best after all, and they have a lot to say, talking about their creative experience in detail.

"Applause." Hearing the rest of the poems, the experience of a girl who insisted on writing in the winter and her fingers were swollen from the cold, the host immediately applauded, and the music became tear-jerking. Let Yu Shi cry with joy as she spoke, and the warm scene made Gu Cheng cry out for vulgarity.

But at this time, it was very effective, and Gu Cheng saw that many elderly women in the audience were wiping their tears. After all, Sprout Magazine contacted this program to turn the situation around. The moderator can also help.

"Okay, the four young writers just talked about their experiences, what do the three guests think?" When the scene calmed down, the host asked questions.

"I'll start with that." Young writer Zheng Shiwen picked up the microphone: "First of all, I would like to congratulate the four students, you have used your talent and hard work to walk out of a broad road. I've heard of several books, and I read them carefully before coming here, and although there are still some problems, they are still worth encouraging. ”

At this point, Zheng Shiwen paused, and the audience estimated that there was an arrangement, and they applauded cracklingly. Then he continued: "But there is a very important question, I have heard, some of you dropped out of school? That's not good, studying is the most important thing for your age to do, and writing shouldn't be a top priority. Thank you. ”

The camera gave a close-up of Lian Jun and Lei Tian, who were the people who dropped out of school. I saw that one of the two was disdainful and the other was ashamed. Obviously, each is different.

At this time, the famous reporter Wang Shengshu took the microphone: "I'm a reporter." I don't really do much research on novels, but I pay a lot of attention to the news. In the past month or so, there has been a lot of news about you, and I don't know anything else, I just want to ask if it's okay to focus all my experience on writing, and if other homework is red, leading to dropping out. Also, Gu Cheng, it is understood that your academic performance is the first in your grade, what is going on? ”

"Me?" Gu Cheng pointed to his nose and opened his eyes wide. This guy, when it comes to Gu Cheng, he mentions his name. Do you really think I'm a sick cat?

In fact, this kind of interview, Gu Cheng feels that there is no meaning at all. Because, he clearly knows that everyone will evolve in time in the future. It's like the other three juvenile writers, in their impression, they became popular by publishing books, and then disappeared. As for the three guests opposite, they belong to the existence of soy sauce, and they have no memory at all.

It's not that these people have lost their talents, but because they're destined to walk down a path that leads to darkness. Even if it is a short-term glory, it will be reduced to the shabby of the future, the direction is wrong, and no matter how hard you try, it is useless. It's just the opposite of the other!

Although the early explorers are still coding words on the simple homepages of the Internet, they will surely flood the literary world. So, in this sense, Jiang Nanchun's wish can be regarded as a failure. Sprout Magazine only had a year or two left to bounce around, and then it fell into obscurity. Officially, the orthodox ones have not developed, but are growing vigorously like weeds, and the green fields are vast.

The third guest, a woman in her forties, wore white-rimmed glasses: "I don't think there is anything wrong with this, Gu Cheng's excellent grades and popular novels show the success of China's basic education, and he is the pride of our education system." As for the other three of you, it's not a good reason to delay your studies because you're focused on writing. Moreover, because the novel was released, you took the initiative to drop out of school, which is irresponsible for your own life and contrary to the country's cultivation of you. With achievements, it is a failure of education to say something that obliterates the school without first thanking the country. ”

Talk shows, you always have to find some topics. After the three of them finished speaking, Gu Cheng understood. Young writers are supposed to be close to their own side, while other journalists are good at digging up private secrets, and education experts are obviously brain-dead, opening their mouths and closing their mouths to thank the state.

The host was secretly happy in his heart, noisy, noisy, it's good to quarrel. These days, it's big news that people bite people.

Okay, the three guests also expressed their opinions, and came down to invite a few students to talk freely. Please assign the microphone well. ”

While talking, the staff outside the camera in the studio hall gave a microphone to seven people on both sides, and the talk show began.

Lian Jun blushed, and as soon as he got the microphone, he began to go crazy: "I don't think my writing skills have anything to do with school education!" In fact, I am basically a poor student in the eyes of the teacher, and I am also criticized a lot in school, and I can get a ranking in the sprout competition, which is completely due to my own private reading of Chinese and foreign classics, and I work hard to practice writing. ”

Just looking at the words, it was nothing, but the tone was fierce and emotional, obviously with anger. Lian Jun can be regarded as having a deep grudge against school, and he was in the stage where he couldn't read it before, so he dropped out of school immediately after the novel succeeded.

"How can you say that it has nothing to do with schooling?" Professor Chen Lian grasped the language disease: "Can you read and read, the most basic Chinese skills are not given to you by the school?" You practiced your pen hard in private, and you ignored the help of your family and society? The country has worked hard to train you to become a talent, how can you turn a blind eye? ”

Lian Jun blushed: "My parents' support is naturally in my heart, but if you want to talk about school society or something, I really haven't seen it." Of course, I remember the opportunity given to me by the Organizing Committee of the Shoots Competition. ”

"Then you." Chen Lian was aggressive and wanted to continue, but was interrupted by the host Xiaowei: "Hehe, the conversation between Lian and Professor Chen is very warm, by the way, Gu Cheng, what do you think, about school education and your grades?" According to the survey of our program team, you are ranked first in your grade. Audience friends may not know that Gu Cheng's high school is a national key high school Shunshui Middle School, as long as you enter the top hundred, you can enter the key universities casually, and the first grade will be sent to Kyoto University and other famous institutions. ”

"Wow!" As soon as the host said this, the audience was in an uproar, and the audience in front of the TV was also surprised. It's better to be famous for writing books, and then look at the looks and are still handsome, and now, their academic performance is also among the best!? This also makes it impossible to let others live!

"That's right!" Wang Shengshu added: "Gu Cheng, after reading your novel, I only have one feeling, it seems to be written by someone in your forties or fifties, and it is hard to imagine that you can create it at such a young age. I don't know, how do you explain it! ”

I'll go! You dare to question brother!

Gu Cheng scolded in his heart, but he was not annoyed on the surface, picked up the microphone and said: "Academic performance, after I went to high school, the learning atmosphere in the class was strong, and the homeroom teacher was kind and persuasive, and I became more willing to work harder than before." The ranking can be ranked in the front, which can only be said to be luck and strength! Hehe! ”

With a chuckle, Gu Cheng glanced at everyone. If his words are heard by his classmates, he will shout disdainfully, and you, who don't attend classes all day, are embarrassed to say that you study hard!?

"As for the content of the novel!" Gu Cheng's words changed sharply and became sharp: "First of all, I don't feel like an old man, the knowledge contained in it is vast, I can only say that I think more carefully than ordinary people. You have to understand that sometimes, just because you can't do it doesn't mean that others can't do it too! ”

This sentence is obviously aimed at the famous Wang Shengshu. He deliberately doubted Gu Cheng, and he was inevitably slapped in the face.

Sure enough, Wang Shengshu sharpened his teeth and mouth, and immediately shot back: "Even so, classmate Gu Cheng, your situation is too beyond ordinary people, and ordinary geniuses can't summarize it anymore." The knowledge of science can be comprehended at a high IQ, but the liberal arts, without a certain amount of life experience, I don't think you can achieve it. Especially in "Da Ming", there are a lot of scriptures and classics, and it is also very successful in describing the mentality of some old immortals who have lived for hundreds of years or thousands of years. Gu Cheng, do you dare to confront you here? ”

Hearing this, the host and all the visitors at the scene were excited, looking towards Gu Cheng one by one, they were surprised, and naturally expressed doubts in their hearts, from the very beginning, rumors about whether the novel "Da Ming" could be written by a young man, there were constantly rumors of plagiarism ghostwriting. Now, does Gu Cheng dare to fight?

Gu Cheng listened to Wang Shengshu's words, his face was displeased, and then looked at everyone, whether it was the audience under the guest host, or the other three authors around him, they all looked at him with anticipation, and he sighed slightly.

"If you want to be a person beyond ordinary people, you must bear the jealousy of others, and it is mediocre not to be envied. Well, I'll show you it, so as not to be suspected of asking someone to write for you. ”

"Just ask!" Gu Cheng said lightly.

"Okay." Seeing Gu Cheng's promise, Wang Shengshu did not hesitate at all, and when he identified Gu Cheng's fake, he became angry. Even if it doesn't work, you can be named a fake warrior, why not!

Taking out a piece of paper from his bag, Wang Shengshu read it: "First ask the first one, Gu Cheng, you describe a lot of immortal monks in the novel "Da Ming", and there are also a lot of classic expositions on Buddhism and Taoism, so good, the first one will ask you to tell you the original text of the classics." Just talk about one. ”

This is the memorization question. The camera focused on Gu Cheng to see how he asked questions, the studio hall was silent, and the background music also released a tense atmosphere.

"Hehe, let's start with the Tao Te Ching. "Under the gaze of hundreds of people in the audience and thousands of people in front of the TV, Gu Cheng memorized the full text of the Tao Te Ching word for word, especially for those watching TV, and the content of the Tao Te Ching was released on the side of the screen for comparison.

After reciting it, Gu Cheng continued: "Another Prajna Heart Sutra. Contemplating the Bodhisattva of Freedom, when he walks in deep Prajnaparamita. ”

Balabala, after a while, the two classic articles were all memorized, not only the content was word-for-word, but the whole process was subdued and frustrated, as if listening to a recital, which made people involuntarily yearn for it. When Gu Cheng's voice lagged behind, the audience erupted in warm applause and applauded.

Seeing this situation, Wang Shengshu's face turned red, and he said reluctantly: "Very good, classmate Gu Cheng." However, the number of words in these two articles is still relatively small, so let's do it, I'll come up with a topic, and you can memorize it, even if you win. ”

The audience immediately coaxed, and some excited girls scolded loudly, and the director had to play music to cover up the past.

The host Xiaowei looked at Gu Cheng in embarrassment: "Is it okay?" She felt that it was already very good to be here, even if she wondered if Gu Cheng had memorized it earlier. But she can't say either.

"Yes." Gu Cheng thought to himself that when he was writing the book at that time, he had checked all the information that should be checked, and as long as the question was from the book, he should remember it.

"That's good!" Hearing this, Wang Shengshu became happy, and deliberately pointed the paper in his hand at the camera: "There is a paragraph in the novel, the article on the protagonist's participation in the imperial examination, I checked it and found that it was a scroll of a champion in history, Gu Cheng, but you copied it." ”

Seeing Gu Cheng nodding, Wang Shengshu was overjoyed: "Of course, this can't be regarded as plagiarism." I'm just curious, how can you find out such an obscure article, please memorize it. You don't need to memorize them all. ”

"Hmm!" Gu Cheng nodded and opened his mouth: "Gai Wen Dao is so big, it came from the sky." Okay, it should be over here. ”

"Wow!" There were articles quoted by Gu Cheng on the big screen, and all the viewers did not blink an eye at the comparison, but they were destined to be disappointed, because although Gu Cheng was not smooth in bumping and bumping, he basically memorized it throughout. To the surprise of all who doubted.

"This, this!" Wang Shengshu was stunned, when he came, he almost decided that Gu Cheng had asked someone to write for him. He didn't dare to say who the person behind it was in advance, because that person's status in the realm was too high. But he was ready, and after Gu Cheng revealed his stuff, he spoke out to expose the fraud of the pair of masters and apprentices.

"Well, I've passed it!" Gu Cheng looked at the famous reporter with a smile.

"Ugh! Kindness! You win! Wang Shengshu was hesitant, his face was flushed, and he couldn't wait to retreat immediately after watching the scene.
