Chapter subtitle: SCP Code
"Good evening, audience friends! Welcome to tonight's talk show, the next part is the guest interview. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"
"First of all, let me ask you a question, who was the greatest writer of the twentieth century?"
“NEO-YUAN。”
“YUAN-YAN-SHU.”
(The audience answers in unison)
"Wow, we viewers even know his Chinese name. That's right, it's NY-of-NY. So does anyone know why he is the greatest? Well, just this pretty lady. ”
Because Master Yuan has a wide range of fields in literature, the scope of his works covers all literary genres. And it's amazing that he's fluent in eight languages and can translate and write in those languages. ”
"His style is so varied that it is often claimed that he plagiarized his work, but to this day those people have been proven to be shameful liars."
"And he didn't really focus on writing, so it's often said that if he had devoted all his energy to writing, there would have been no other writer in the twentieth century......
(The audience laughs and applauds.) )
"That's a great point. Ma'am, I guess you're also a fan of him, right? ”
"Yes, yes, I had a wish to read all his works, but I haven't finished reading them since I was 15 years old."
"Ah, so you've only been reading for five years, so you really can't finish it."
"Hahaha, it's much longer than five years."
"I see, but I won't ask you how old you are, the lady's age is a secret!"
(Audience laughter and applause)
"By the way, which of his works do you like best?"
"Chocolate, of course. I've watched the movie of the same name starring Lillian Gish more than ten times. ”
"Wow, ten times?! Can you ask why? ”
"Because my mother is also a single mother, like the heroine of "Chocolate", she raised me alone. So ......"
(Audience applause)
"It was really very touching. Please sit down, ma'am, and our staff will send you a prize. The prize is (advertisement). ”
"So I'm glad to be here today...... The most controversial author of the 21st century, and he became a controversial writer because he wrote a series of novels based on the lives of the greatest writers of the 20th century. Let's welcome ......"
"Danny Brown!"
(Audience applause)
"Hello, Mr. Danny Brown."
"Hello, host. Good evening, audience friends. ”
"Mr. Brown, your novel about Master Yuan, SCP Chinese Code, was adapted into a movie last year, 2004, on the 110th anniversary of his birth. Both your novel and this film have sparked great repercussions and controversies in China, the United States and even the world. I've heard that since the publication of this novel, people have sent you threatening letters, right? ”
"Hehe, that's true. But luckily his fan is not Arabia......"
"Ahem, ahem...... Mr. Brown, please drink water. ”
"Okay, okay, I'm thirsty...... Excuse me, where did you go? I mean I was much luckier than Mr. Salman Rushdie, the author of the Satanic Verses, and no one offered a bounty to hunt me down. ”
(Audience laughter, applause, and whistles)
"Well, Mr. Brown, you're in luck. I've read your novel and watched the film. So as a reader and viewer, I would like to ask you, is what you write in your novel true or apocryphal? ”
"Are you asking about Mr. Yuan's being the founder of the SCP Foundation?"
"Yes, I know that Master Yuan is indeed one of the initiators of the famous SCP magazine. But does this so-called 'Foundation for Standard Procedures for the Containment of Foreign Objects' really exist? ”
"Mr. Host, this question I have answered many times on different occasions. Now I solemnly repeat, there really is such an SCP Foundation, and according to my research, Master Yuan is not only the founder of this foundation, but also its largest funder in its early days. He is, so to speak, the father of the SCP Foundation. ”
"So Mr. Brown, what is the relationship between the SCP Foundation and SCP magazine, other than the abbreviation?"
"Actually, the SCP Foundation's early funding came mainly from the SCP magazine, to be exact, Neo-Yuan, who was still studying for his Ph.D. at NYU at the time, invested the profits from the magazine and his own remuneration into the operation of the SCP Foundation."
"Mr. Brown, we know that Mr. Yuan is a famous writer of horror novels......"
"I'm sorry, Mr. Host, I'll correct you. Mr. Yuan is not only a famous horror writer, he is also the founder of the most influential genre of horror fiction, YL's-Style. ”
"Please Mr. Brown explain YL's-Style to me and my audience friends."
"Okay, host. YL's-Style is the Yuan and Lovecraft genre, also known as the yellow genre, firstly, YL is the abbreviation of yellow, and secondly, Mr. Yuan has a pen name called the King of Yellow. However, because the "yellow school" is easily confused with "yellow-book", this term is not known to ordinary people except for insiders and researchers. ”
"Oh, no wonder there's a saying that "Yellow-King" is a "yellow-book" master. That's a misconception, right? ”
"Well, what do you say...... Now there is a theory that the author of "Fifty Shades of Grey" is Master Yuan, but according to current research, he does not seem to have written any other erotic novels other than this novel. (note 1)
"Mr. Brown, let us return to the topic just now, and his contemporaries of Master Yuan have called him an all-round genius in literature, especially in imagination and humor. So what I want to ask is, isn't this SCP Foundation some kind of joke or even a prank on Mr. Yuan's part? ”
"Mr. Host, the SCP Foundation is really not a joke, but a real organization that has had a significant impact on history. Despite its strange name, the Foundation has been very closely associated with Nazi and anarchist organizations around the world in the first half of the twentieth century! ”
(Audience exclaims)
Note 1: For well-known reasons, both YL's-Style and yellow-book are extremely unhealthy poisonous weeds for some countries at a certain time, which makes the people of these countries have a great misunderstanding, so our "Yellow-King" master inexplicably ties in with the little yellow book "yellow-book". Even in the 21st century of Master Yuan's timeline, there are still people in the world who pretend to use his pen name to write "yellow-book".
