Chapter 226: Breaking the Fourth Wall
"It's a good work."
"What's a good way?"
This......
Jiang Yulou hesitated for a moment, he tried to recall the plot in the novel. He was lucky to have read this novel before and was even impressed, otherwise he would definitely be sitting on wax now.
"Borges is a maverick thinker, and there is an element of experimentation and showmanship in this work. I agree with Mr. Liu's statement that this novel is absurd. ”
Everyone is not surprised by Jiang Yulou's statement, even if there is disagreement, it will not be immediately refuted, this is a respect for a writer, even if the writer looks very young.
Jiang Yulou took a breath and continued: "At the beginning of the novel, Borges tried his best to create an authenticity in which both the magician and the reader believed that the magician was real, and the magician had no doubts about his own existence.
But the ending subverts the truth, and the magician's inner identity contradicts the actual situation, creating an imbalance in relation to his own heart, and also losing his dignity and meaning as a father.
The ending mocks the magician, and discovers that he is only a phantom in someone else's dream when he is convinced that he is real, radiating the absurdity of the magician to the reader, and perhaps everyone is guided and dominated by another person without knowing it. ”
"This technique is very clever and will undoubtedly make the reader fall into doubt and horror as he reads."
He looked at the crowd and smiled mockingly, "Think about it, you think you are flesh and blood people, but in fact they are just characters written by some street writer, and you shudder to think about it." If I had written it, it would have been more interesting to make magicians and teenagers aware of the existence of the Creator, and even the existence of the reader. ”
Wang Meng rubbed his chin, he really felt frightened.
He looked up at the ceiling, and was there a reader reading his life now?
If there really is a Creator, will He accept it?
He doesn't know, but there is a high probability that he can accept his fate calmly.
"Mr. Jiang's idea is very novel."
"Yes, it's wonderful that creatures created by the Creator can be aware of the Creator, and even aware of the existence of the reader."
Jiang Yulou smiled, without much smugness, this was just a common way to break the fourth wall in later generations.
It's just that the more indifferent he is, the more everyone evaluates him.
Everyone was talking about Jiang Yulou's feelings just now and the end of the adaptation, and their opinions were different, but they still affirmed Jiang Yulou's idea of breaking the fourth wall.
After the tea party ended, Jiang Yulou had many more ways to communicate.
On the bus back, Wang Meng said: "Yulou, you have such a deep understanding of avant-garde literature, have you ever thought of writing an article based on it?" ”
"In fact, I have been practicing the creative method of avant-garde literature." Jiang Yulou said with a smile.
Wang Meng hesitated for a moment: "You mean...... Innovation? ”
Jiang Yulou nodded, confirming his guess.
Avant-garde literature has its limitations, and in the final analysis, literary creation is still for the sake of readers, so writers of avant-garde literature will inevitably embark on the road of popularization in order to cater to the public.
Therefore, what he has to do is very simple, take the essence.
When everyone returned to the bus, William Chen suddenly said: "Teachers, let me tell you bad news, tomorrow's teacher-student symposium at Xiangjiang Chinese University will be canceled." ”
"Why?"
"How can this be, hasn't the itinerary been set a long time ago?"
"yes, that's too sudden, isn't it?"
Jiang Yulou frowned slightly, feeling that things were not simple.
Feng Xianzhi motioned for everyone to be quiet and said, "Mr. Chen, can you tell us the reason for the cancellation of the trip?" ”
William Chen said hesitantly: "This is not easy to say, I heard the boss say that it was a notice from the Hong Kong government, in short, I can't go tomorrow." ”
Jiang Yulou touched his chin, in this era, the waste youth is not even a fertilized egg, and the hearts of Xiangjiang people are still towards the motherland. Even in Xiangjiang University, there is no shortage of patriots.
The reason why the Hong Kong government prevented them from going was probably because they were afraid that they would publicize some ideas in public, or incite students to strike classes.
Of course, this is just a little conjecture on his part, and it is not necessarily true, maybe something happened at the school is not impossible.
Now that the matter has become a foregone conclusion, Feng Xianzhi has no choice but to be dissatisfied, "Now that the itinerary is all disrupted, what should I do now?" ”
William Chen saw that the exchange group was a little excited, so he whispered to Zhou Zhenni.
"Do you have any ideas?"
"Please, what kind of activities can be arranged?" Jenny Zhou frowned.
William Chen said helplessly: "That's all it takes." ”
After some instructions, "Everyone, all the trips will be canceled tomorrow, but you can do it yourself." ”
"Self-motivated?"
Everyone is even more dissatisfied, everyone is not familiar with life, and they don't have much money on them, even if they are free, where can they go.
"That, William Chen!"
Jiang Yulou suddenly raised his hand and said, "Can you take us to the set of Xiangjiang tomorrow to visit?" ”
"On the set?"
"That's right, in fact, we are all quite curious about the film and television production center in Xiangjiang and want to see it."
William Chen hesitated for a moment and wiped the sweat from his forehead, "This...... I'll have to ask the boss. ”
Then, he contacted his boss again, and after getting permission, he said, "Our boss agreed." However, this visit is based on the relationship of the boss, you can only watch, you can't say anything superfluous, let alone do it, in case you damage the props on the set, you need to compensate according to the price. ”
"Absolutely, we understand." Feng Xianzhi echoed and said: "In fact, literary creation and the film and television industry are inextricably linked, and it is beneficial for us to visit." ”
His last sentence was addressed to the other members of the delegation, and everyone thought about it, so they didn't make any further comments.
Seeing that the matter had subsided, William Chen and Feng Xianzhi were all relieved.
The next day, everyone got on the bus, and this time the destination was the set of TVB.
TVB, i.e. wireless television. It was officially opened on November 19, 1967 by Li Xiaohe, Qi Dezun, Run Run Shaw and others. It is the first television station in Hong Kong to obtain a free TVB license, and it is also the world's largest Chinese-language commercial television station.
In the 80s, the television industry in Hong Kong was in the same golden age as the economy of Hong Kong.
In this era, Hong Kong's TV drama industry is full of talents, and the two major commercial TV stations, Asia Television and TVB, are on par. For the sake of ratings, both stations have their own magic weapons, and TV dramas have become the biggest weight to compete for the audience.
Especially TVB's TV series, it is the youth of many people.
