Jiang Tianyi's grandmother finished stating the examples and opinions, the girls applauded her wildly, Xu Bin listened to it and didn't want it, only Jiang Shang, Jiang Xiang and him could join the fight, this is not only a debate about the length of literary works, but also a debate between boys and girls. Jiang Shang stated that he was a master of free debate, and it would be a bit of a waste of resources to express his arguments during the review, so he pushed Xu Bin up and asked him to fight against Jiang Tianyi's grandmother.

Xu Bin pursed his lips, put down the watermelon he had just picked up, and looked at Jiang Tianyi with his flickering expectant eyes and said: "Grandma is really a master, and she keeps pace with the times, even "Firefly Forest" has been watched, we all said just now that we went to watch this animated movie, we were all moved, and even I shed tears!" “

"En", Jiang Xiang agreed beside him, "Grandma, you are really eclectic, I didn't expect you to be so fashionable!" I heard that your public class is so popular that you have to line up to listen to it, and I thought someone was bragging about you! There is a teacher in our school who teaches an open class, and two days ago he was arguing with students in an open class, saying how good the American system is and how good the Taiwan system is. “

"Hahahaha", Jiang Shang laughed and said, "Don't compare the angry young people in your school with grandma, you can count this as a partial opportunity, or you will come to the review?" I see that your tongue usually brushes and talks so slippery, at this time, you also show your performance first, these female compatriots here, all of them are women who don't let their eyebrows go! All of them are graduates of various top schools, as a descendant of the Jiang family, are you embarrassed to be a turtle with a shrunken head? “

Jiang Xiang looked at Xu Bin and shook his head and said, "Eh, no, no, no, such a rare opportunity, let's let my brother-in-law go first!" This is called throwing bricks and attracting jade, I have a fast mouth, and I am more suitable for making a second argument. ”

Jiang Shang looked at Jiang Xiang with an expression of hatred that iron could not become steel: "Are you still throwing bricks and attracting jade?" Xu Bin is a brick, are you jade? ”

The girls hurriedly called for Xu Bin to start quickly, as the grandson-in-law of the future Jiang family who came up in the draft, this debate is also a comprehensive quality check for him, and everyone is waiting to see it.

Xu Bin put down his mobile phone, sat upright, crossed his hands and began to state in a serious manner: "First of all, I will state the first point, and a work that is too short cannot state rich clues and worldviews. Here I also give the best example "Your Name", this work by Makoto Shinkai is fresh and healing, beautiful and moving, it seems very simple but is actually very large and complex. The main climax of the plot of the story is also in the ordinary valley, and the object of description is only two characters, and the intricate timeline changes back and forth, whether the two people have a dream or a real change in history must be slowly understood through detailed details. This determines that the overall length can no longer be compressed, and the total length of the movie is 100 minutes, and it is really impossible to delete any loss of plot pictures, otherwise the story will not be complete, and it can be said that length is a necessary condition to ensure the integrity of the story.

Secondly, the second point is that length is not the key factor restricting circulation, but the plot and pen power of the story are important factors to attract people to spread, and the example I give is "Dream of Red Mansions". The first 80 chapters of "Dream of Red Mansions" have a total of 610,000 words, and the first edition published by the People's Literature Publishing House is more than 10.7 million words, not to mention the convenience of modern printing and typesetting, these 610,000 words are absolutely astronomical for people in the Ming and Qing dynasties. However, "Dream of Red Mansions" is a strange text through the ages, and it will also circulate in the world as a manuscript at the risk of killing the head, so length is not a problem. There are a total of 975 characters in the full text of "Dream of Red Mansions", each of which jumps off the page and has a distinct personality. The answer is definitely not, the storyline of this book is very full, and I can't find a single nonsense in the whole text, but it can also be said that the words are like gold.

Thirdly, the economic profit earned by novels is far greater than that of short novels. I would like to cite a particularly typical example here, which is Tolkien's "The Lord of the Rings", "Elven Diamond" and "The Hobbit" series, which can be regarded as a whole Tolkien world. In 2009, the writer was still the fifth most paid figure in the world by deceased celebrities, and he made fantasy fiction a mainstream genre from the Asian genre and created Elves with his deep linguistic skills. Not only has it endured for a long time, but it has also set up a very high literary monument, and its works are very popular whether they are adapted into movies, films, television or comics, and the total output value is not comparable to a simple short story.

The above is our argument, please give examples and refute it to the opponent's defense friend! ”

After Xu Bin finished expressing his opinion, grandma glanced at Jiang Tianyi, Jiang Tianyi smiled very shy and proud, and several other girls also applauded Xu Bin. She originally had a little bit of heartbeat since she met, but now it has completely turned into a flood of feelings, this person can always keep surprising her, after she listened to Xu Bin's statement, she didn't care about his cousin's play at all, she was immersed in the soap bubble of love and didn't want to wake up at all, all her eyes and movements turned into three words.

Jiang Tianyi's grandfather was infected by the warm atmosphere of the young people, and he was lying in the attic about to take a nap, but he came downstairs when Xu Bin began to make a statement, and sat at the door to watch the men and women express their opinions. After the girls finished their opinions in the second debate, the grandfather said: "Let me interject, since your discussion is so intense, then I will be a referee and win a masterpiece signed by grandma for a reward." ”

Female second debater Kobayashi has come up with a very famous short novel to --- from Nobel Prize winner Garcia. Márquez's "A Premeditated Murder." The total translation of the book from Spanish to Chinese is only 90,000 words, but the whole book took the author's thirty years of hard work from conception to completion, and in just 90,000 words, it has shaped the most dramatic suspense novel in the history of literature, which combines the confusion and magic of Márquez when writing "One Hundred Years of Solitude", and the delicacy and control of his later work "Love in the Time of Cholera", the rhythm control of this book far exceeds the long crime stories of the current century. Kobayashi uses this book to refute Xu Bin's weakness that the short story does not show more detailed flaws.

Jiang Shang applauded involuntarily when he heard this example: "Although I am the opposite, but your example is very to the point, "Your Name" does have the characteristics of a suspense drama, and I have also watched "A Pre-announced Murder Case", I really can't find any short stories that can PK with it." But what I want to counter to you is that if you want to make a detective novel that is more complete than suspense, it must be long enough, and the length does not make the tension of the plot lost. One of the best examples of this is "The 13th Hour", which tells the story that each rewind of time produces a different result, and each repetition produces a different detail than the previous one. This style of writing was later similar to a Japanese anime called "Gate of the Stone of Destiny". Works like "The 13th Hour", represented by jumping timelines, have created a new form of detective fiction, which does not focus on a single time to tell a closed world that is limited to death, but multiple results under multiple possibilities, and multiple may be completely impossible to show in a short story, so in the style of detective novels, long stories are better than short stories. ”
