Chapter 272: Su Wen's Ancient Novels
In order to make it easier for Hou Bowang to read, Su Wen printed out the three ancient novels he had concocted, instead of using electronic versions as he usually gave people manuscripts.
In other words, when looking at this kind of ancient novel, only the paper font is the most suitable, and it feels the most comfortable to read.
However, even if it was printed on both sides, the manuscript handed over to Hou Bowang was still as many as ten pages.
This made Professor Hou very surprised, looking at the weight in his hand, how could there be 10,000 words.
A 10,000-word ancient novel, what is that concept?
"Is this really what a student can write? It's not going to mess around, is it? Hou Bowang thought so, and was about to ask Su Wen, but the latter reminded him not to forget the agreement between the two, and then waved his hand and left, not even attending today's class.
"What do you mean?" Hou Bowang was stunned for a moment.
Su Wen's behavior is very obvious: with these three articles, he won't have to go to class, he can leave now, and you won't trouble me in the future!
Professor Hou came to his senses and was furious.
"That's arrogant! It's so arrogant! You must find a way to cure this guy! Hou Bowang suppressed the anger in his heart, pressed the manuscript handed in by Su Wen under the handout, tried to recover his mind, and continued to teach the students below.
Looking at the students below, looking at Su Wen's distant back, he was really envious and admired.
What do you mean by?
Su Wen is called awesome!
Even the serious Professor Hou can not be a bird, and take Professor Hou's previous threats not to give a passing grade as a deaf ear, and if he can't come, he won't come - is there a more awesome life than this?
Except for a few people in Su Wen's dormitory, most people didn't know the agreement between Su Wen and Hou Bowang, and they all regarded Su Wen's actions today as a personal behavior.
When they came back to their senses, Hou Bowang on the stage began to lecture. The crowd could only listen with various thoughts.
Hou Bowang's quality is superhuman, even if he is in a bad mood because of Su Wen, he is also very conscientious to teach his courses and not let the students down.
The two classes were completed quickly.
The students dispersed in a hurry, and Hou Bowang packed up the handouts and returned to the office with Su Wen's manuscript. Other teachers and professors looked at him sullenly. They all asked what was wrong.
Hou Bowang shook his head slightly and said that it was nothing, and sent everyone away, then he sat down in his seat, turned out Su Wen's manuscript, and planned to read it carefully, if the manuscript did not meet his requirements, then Su Wen would be dead!
First of all, Su Wen flipped through it, and it was indeed three articles, some long and some short.
Hou Bowang browsed the article. Slightly stunned: "Why are they all names, is it a biography?" Su Wen, don't think I'm so foolish, I want a novel, not a biography! ”
It turned out that Su Wen's arrangement of the articles was arranged according to the length of the article, first short and then long.
The first article is called "Painted Skin", and the second is "Nie Xiaoqian". The third article is "Infant Ning"!
Except for the first one, the last two are all personal names. No wonder Professor Hou thought it was a biography.
If Professor Hou was from another world, he would definitely yell: "Su Wen, you literary thief!" ”
Or if Pu Songling is resurrected here, he will definitely cry out angrily: "Su Wen, you shameless literary thief!" Return my article, or I won't let you go! ”
That's right. This time, Su Dacai extended his evil hand to Pu Songling's "Strange Tales from Liaozhai".
The Chinese Empire has been the world's leader for hundreds of years, and its cultural development has been extremely prosperous. There are even more ancient novels of the Zhiwei category. Especially after the establishment of the empire, there was a lot less ideological and institutional inhibition, and there were not many restrictions on literati writing bizarre novels.
With Gan Bao's "Sou Shen Ji" as the originator, many literati have some strange things in this regard, some are notes, some are biographies, and some are novels.
However, not everyone is Pu Songling, the same idea, the same material, but different talents, then, of course, there will not be the same "Strange Tales".
Therefore, Su Wen copied Liaozhai and did not have any burden at all.
If it weren't for the urgency of time, he would be reluctant to move the story of Liao Zhai to this world as soon as he came up, after all, this collection of novels was known as the pinnacle of classical Chinese novels in Su Wen's previous life. With the help of ghost fox things, to map the people of the world, there is no better way to write it.
In more modern terms, the fantasy and bizarre novels of the descendants are all left over from Pu Songling's play, and their imagination, in Pu Songling's view, is nothing more than a pediatric thing!
This kind of classic, even if it is the current Su Wen, is a bit of a psychological burden to copy, and the pressure is not small. Because this is classical Chinese!
Hou Bowang wanted Su Wen to write ancient novels, but he did not specify classical Chinese.
After the development of ancient novels, there are roughly two forms, one is classical Chinese, such as Pu Songling's "Strange Tales from Liaozhai" and other famous works; One is the ancient vernacular, which is relatively popular, such as novels such as "Journey to the West".
Although of course he wants to use the ancient vernacular penmanship, the novels he remembers are too long. In just one day, he couldn't copy three articles at all!
Regardless of the length, this kind of popular novel, the most famous is of course "Three Words and Two Beats", Feng Menglong's three words, and Ling Mengchu's two beats.
Originally, Su Wen planned to "borrow" Feng Menglong's classics, such as his favorite novel "Du Shi Niang's Angry Sinking Treasure Chest", which can be said to be never tired of reading.
However, it's just one article, there are tens of thousands of words, and three articles can be made, even if he typed fast, he couldn't make it out in less than half a day.
There is no choice but to endure the pain and cut love and find another chapter. Of course, you can also do one article with three words and two shots, and one or two articles to talk about fasting, but in this way, the style will not be uniform, and maybe it will cause more trouble.
Gritting his teeth at the end, Su Wen's eyes went straight to "Strange Tales from Liaozhai"!
He's kind of out of the way, didn't you Professor Hou say that as long as I can write ancient novels and prove that I have research on ancient novels, I don't need to take classes, then okay, I'll give you a strong medicine directly - the literary novels have come out, doesn't it mean that I have mastered ancient novels?
The idea is certain, and the rest is a matter of which one to choose.
There are hundreds of essays in "Strange Tales from Liaozhai", some of which are short like notes, which do not quite meet the requirements of Professor Hou's novels, so the selection is also a big problem.
Su Wen is also single, and the first criterion for selection is: fame!
Which one is famous, choose which one first!
Why?
can be circulated and familiarized, whether it is a film and television adaptation or a theatrical performance, those creators and processors will choose this article, there must be their reasons. At the very least, the story has a classic passing character.
Well, naturally, there is no problem in choosing them.
So, the first article Hou Bowang sees now is "Painted Skin", followed by "Nie Xiaoqian", and finally "Ying Ning".
His gaze sank and he began to read the contents of the articles slowly...... (To be continued.) )
