Chapter 416: Daughter of the Sea
"Please advise", "Please advise", "I still need to learn from you" and other low-key and humble ways of speaking modestly, it is not really to let the other party instruct and teach yourself, it does not mean that you think that your knowledge is inferior to the other party, this is just a "modest" attitude, it is a polite word, and you must not take it seriously.
Xiaochuan Zhou said that asking Zhao Xingchi to give more advice is a modest statement, and in combination with the environment of the scene, not only is it not modest, but it should be a kind of arrogance, a kind of arrogance, the real meaning should be: "What ability do you Zhao Xingchi have, dare to claim to be a national writer and a talented person, and take it out for me to see?" ”
At this time, the answer of ordinary people should be to humbly express that they can have today, which is completely the love of everyone, which is also the most suitable and reasonable answer that most people think.
But now, everyone in the reception room was dumbfounded, because they heard something they shouldn't have heard at all, and then it was as if they had encountered a big thunderbolt on a sunny day, and they were all stunned.
Stephen Zhao actually said: "Mr. Xiaochuan, don't worry, I will definitely advise where I should be taught, and I will never let Mr. Xiaochuan return disappointed." ”
"It's too arrogant!" This is the common voice of the Ten People's Group of the Japanese Kingdom, everyone's face showed an angry look, and the eyes looking at Zhao Xingchi were also full of anger, and there was no concealment at all.
Although Ogawa Zhou's words were inappropriate, in the end, it was also for their common interests. But now, Zhao Xingchi's commanding attitude seems to be saying: "Xiaochuan Zhou, and you, rest assured, I will point out one by one, and no one will be missed." "I put myself in a very high position and look at them as if I was looking at a junior or a loser.
"Young and rampant!" Zheng Yuan, Miracle, and seven other young people who represented China to attend cultural exchanges. They all frowned, and invariably commented on Zhao Xingchi on the psychological side.
If Zhao Xingchi hadn't become famous at a young age and wasn't the most popular writer in China, would he be able to speak with Xiao Chuan Zhou, who was very famous in the Wa Kingdom, in this tone today?
Of course, there are a few young people who have no shortage of schadenfreude: "Zhao Xingchi, Zhao Xingchi, so arrogant and arrogant." Later, if you lose to these devils in the Wa Kingdom, I'll see how you end! ”
"What is this kid Zhao Xingchi thinking? Even if you are very sure to win this Xiaochuan Zhou, there is no need to say such things, it is too immature. ”
Jia Xuan, who was sitting at the top, did not blame Zhao Xingchi, nor did he have the heart of gloating, because he was originally hot-tempered, and when he was a child, he listened to too many stories told by his family about being bullied by little devils, so Zhao Xingchi strongly fought back against Xiaochuan Zhou, and he had a positive attitude. Merely. On the issue of speaking, he felt that Zhao Xingchi was a little inappropriate, and he should not say such arrogant words, but should say things that hide needles in the cotton.
But soon, Jia Xuan comforted himself: "It's not bad, at least it's bloody." Young people, immaturity is understandable, if too mature. That's a real demon. ”
But no matter how you look at Stephen Zhao, everyone has to be patient for a while. Because Stephen Zhao's story is about to be told, he wants to talk about "The Daughter of the Sea".
"Daughter of the sea? Tell the story of a fisherwoman? Everyone speculated curiously, even Xiao Chuanzhou's eyes were on fire, this was Stephen Zhao's first time writing children's literature.
"In the distance of the sea, it is so blue, like beautiful chrysanthemum petals. At the same time, it is so clear, like the brightest glass. However, it is so deep that no anchor chain can reach the end, and it is necessary to reach all the way from the bottom of the sea to the surface. Many, many high-rise buildings have to be connected one after the other. The people at the bottom of the sea live down here...... And the youngest of them was the most beautiful, her skin was light and tender, like the petals of a rose, and her eyes were blue, like the deepest sea. However, like the other princesses, she has no legs, and the lower part of her body is a fish's tail......"
Stephen Zhao's voice was clear and passionate, and when the story was being told, everyone seemed to see the endless sea and felt the salty and refreshing water.
At this time, everyone understood: "It turned out that it was not a fisherwoman, it was a mermaid!" ”
Stephen Zhao is telling a story about a mermaid!
Her greatest joy was to hear stories about the Anthropocene world above, and her old grandmother had to tell her all about ships and cities, humans and animals...... But the most beautiful of them all was the prince with big black eyes, no doubt he was not yet sixteen years old, and it was his birthday...... The little mermaid kissed his delicate forehead, and combed his long soaked hair back to the back of his head, and she thought that he looked very much like the marble statue he had in the little garden under the sea, and she asked him again......"
Stephen Zhao's voice paused here, because in the reception room, many people shouted "oh", they woke up for a moment from the leisurely state of immersion in the story, and they knew what Stephen Zhao was going to say.
Stephen Zhao is telling a story about the love between a mermaid and a prince, and then about the dedication of love.
Everyone has to admit that the story depicted by Stephen Zhao can be called fantastic and magnificent, as if he has come to such a magical world in reality.
It's so detailed!
The palace, the gardens, the fiery red and dark blue trees, the fruits of gold, the flowers that burn like fire, the sand that is as blue as fire, the warm sun, the fish that swim freely, the whales that are huge, the icebergs that are huge, the beautiful songs, the unpredictable weather at sea......
The scene of the sea where the mermaid lives, through the life of the mermaid, is depicted in great detail, even to the point of redundancy, but the language is smart and lively, not only does not give people cumbersome and boring, but feels very fantastic and magnificent, and a wonderful taste permeates the heart.
"Okay, well, I know that this kid won't let me down!" Jia Xuan listened attentively, closed his eyes, shook his head and listened to Zhao Xingchi's voice, his eyebrows kept shaking, and a happy and excited smile appeared on his face.
"What a Stephen Zhao!"
Although he is not a writer specializing in children's novels, as the director of the "Novel Committee", Zheng Yuan is also very familiar with children's novels. Definitely a classic!
For the first time, Zheng Yuan felt that the attitude towards Stephen Zhao before was too undeserved, and he felt that the comments on Stephen Zhao just now were too early, maybe it shouldn't be "young and rampant", it should be "young and handsome", because Stephen Zhao told the truth to Xiaochuan Zhou.
Zheng Yuan's vision is still powerful. In his opinion, Zhao Xingchi's "Daughter of the Sea" and Xiaochuan Zhou's "Tears of the Red Ghost" are not superior in terms of ideas and thoughts. However, artistically, the "daughter of the sea" is more than the "tears of the red ghost". As for the acceptance of the little pot friends, the spread in the world, the influence in the world, etc., the "daughter of the sea" is even more about to burst the "tears of the red ghost".
"Daughter of the Sea" talks about mermaids, the sea, and love. When the words are expressed, it is even more dreamlike, the image is vivid and vivid, once it spreads, it must be killed by men, women and children, and it is popular all over the world.
"Tears of Red Ghosts" talks about red ghosts and friendship, and although the words are very well expressed, they are dry. It tastes like chewing wax, and it is actually conceivable how many people will like it. Little pot friends won't like it either.
What little pot friends like is innocent, dreamy, and beautiful stories, otherwise there would be no special word for "fairy tales".
"Damn, why is he so good?" As Zhao Xingchi's comrades-in-arms, the other seven young people were jealous and envious, and there was also a depressed mood, they didn't understand. Why is this Stephen Zhao so powerful?
Everyone can tell fairy tales, but to tell them very well, like the story of Stephen Zhao's current "Daughter of the Sea", it is extremely difficult.
If nothing else, let's just talk about the detailed descriptions of the scenery and the words that are repeated in arias. It's enough to stump the vast majority of people.
In fact, just thinking about it makes many people's scalps tingle!
Not to mention, it took Stephen Zhao less than half an hour from the beginning to the formation of this story!
"Ogawa Zhou lost this time!" Including the dying Miyazawa Osa, the people of the Wa Kingdom were shocked and looked at Zhao Xingchi with an incredible gaze.
They didn't expect that when Zhao Xingchi didn't speak, he was ordinary and couldn't see any difference, but as soon as he spoke, it was directly earth-shattering. They are not deaf, let alone stupid people without brains, they can naturally hear whose fairy tale is better, there is no doubt that it is Stephen Zhao's "daughter of the sea".
Although Xiaochuan Zhou's "Tears of the Red Ghost" amazed them, it was still far inferior to Zhao Xingchi's "Daughter of the Sea".
Born at the wrong time!
"Could it be that this is what the Chinese people say about not making a sound, a blockbuster?" They secretly thought, and finally understood why Zhao Xingchi became the "national writer" of Huaxia, and why everyone said that he was "talented and high"!
“…… You sit on the beach and take the medicine, and your tail can split in half and become a beautiful human leg, but it hurts, like a sharp knife into your body...... Before the sun comes out, you have to insert it into the prince's heart, and when his blood flows to your feet, your feet will join together again and become a fishtail, and you will be able to restore your original form to the mermaid...... But at this time, she threw the knife far into the waves...... She cast her bewildered gaze on the prince once more, and then she jumped out of the boat into the sea, and she felt his body melt into foam......"
In the exclamation of "ah" from everyone, the story finally came to an end"...... When we see a naughty and nasty child and have to cry out sadly, every tear adds one more day to our trials! ”
"It can't be! You cheat! ”
Xiao Chuan Zhou suddenly jumped up, pointed at Zhao Xingchi, who was no longer speaking, and asked loudly: "In such a short period of time, and without any auxiliary equipment, how can you organize such a long novel in your head?" You must be cheating, you must have memorized it before! ”
"Hehe......" What responded to him was a sneer from Zhao Xingchi. (To be continued......)
