Grandpa's great writer

Chapter 655 Independent Women

With "The Last Starfish", Zhang Zhong became the highest-grossing writer in China's domestic film adaptation, with a total box office of nearly 200 billion Huaxia dollars.

If nothing else, Zhang Zhong will firmly occupy the top spot of this list for many years to come, and no one can surpass him.

Not only that, outside of China, there are not many movie adaptations whose box office exceeds Zhang Chong's worldwide.

Moreover, adaptations of Zhang Zhong's several works have already been put on the agenda. Not surprisingly, he may win the global list within a few years.

There are too many good works by Zhang Zhong, even if only half of them are adapted into movies, and each movie only gets [-] million US dollars at the box office, it is a very scary figure, not to mention that it is impossible for each movie to only have [-] million US dollars box office.

In the past two days, apart from the box office of "The Last Starfish", there is also a relatively inconspicuous piece of news in the literary world.

The new work of Su Ai, a writer of root-seeking literature, is now on sale.

After the word-of-mouth fermentation of the first two works, Su Ai already has a group of fans.

After the new book was launched on August 20, the sales volume reached [-] on the first day.

Although it can't be compared with a pervert like Zhang Zhong, as a traditional writer, this first-day sales is already a very good result.

However, after this "Pride and Prejudice" came out, people in the mainstream literary circles gave it mixed reviews.

This book is somewhat similar to Su Ai's previous books, it tells stories about women.

But it seems to be similar to this. The background of the story is set in the "ancient times" of England, which makes people puzzled. After all, many people in the literary world have long labeled Su Ai as a genre of root-seeking literature.

Moreover, the plot of this book looks more like a dramatic story with some petty bourgeois sentiment.

Especially in the ending, the heroine Elizabeth and the hero Darcy let go of their prejudice and arrogance, and finally the lovers get married.

This is the most unsightly thing in mainstream literature.

Because they feel that such elements of love can only appear in popular scripts.

The work is not thoughtful enough, which is disappointing——Critic XX.

Of course, there are also optimistic ones. For example, he has always admired Su Ai's Zhuang Yu, so he greatly appreciated this work.

"It is difficult to write about things other than life. It is even more difficult to write some empathetic life stories outside of my own life. When I first read this book, I still I don’t know why Su Ai put the background of the story in a certain town in England. After all, it is too far away from us. Su Ai can follow the previous path. In China’s era, there are still many stories to write. But After I read this novel, I suddenly understood Su Ai’s intentions. Earlier than China, there was a trend of women’s feelings in Britain in the late eighteenth century. I think Su Ai may want to get from China. Starting from myself, to trace the female consciousness, so I chose such a special period of Britain."

"However, in the trend of women's emotions in that era, the mainstream was the sentimentality of sadness and tears and the hobby of melancholy. This reminds me of the women's literature that was popular in Taiwan and even the mainland in the 60s and [-]s and a period of time thereafter. , and mostly melancholy for the sake of melancholy, and sentimental for the sake of sentimentality."

"It may be that Su Ai dislikes this kind of female consciousness, which finally led to the emergence of this book. Compared with these alienation literatures that are based on sentimentality and always deliberately throw women into the abyss, making the sexes opposed , the female consciousness shown in this "Pride and Prejudice" is more active and independent. In the book, we can see that Su Ai expresses serious criticism of life in drama and drama, and explores the self-discovery of the heroine from love to marriage psychological process."

"Some so-called guardians of mainstream literature may feel a little uncomfortable with the happy ending in the book, but this is by no means a problem with the work, but the fault of those who always want to tell stories with imperfections and express their thoughts with imperfections... "

When Zhuang Yu said this passage, he originally wanted to say that a warm and happy ending can also express good expectations, and it can also be thought-provoking.

But this passage was taken out of context and misunderstood.

"Zhuang Yu reprimands some writers who like to tell stories with shortcomings!"

This is a headline made by a gossip website.

This matter had nothing to do with Zhang Zhong originally, but when "Alive" was released.

Some people with malicious intentions linked this passage with Zhang Zhong's new book "To Live".

"Zhuang Yu rebukes certain writers who like to use shortcomings to tell stories!" Adding ""To Live" is a novel full of suffering and shortcomings" is combined into one title—Zhuang Yu rebukes Zhang Zhong.

It doesn't make sense at all.

But the world is full of wonders, and just like that, Zhang Zhong, Su Ai, and Zhuang Yu were all on the news at the same time.

It was originally gossip news, and many people didn't take it seriously, but at this time, Li Siqi didn't know what was wrong, and came out to criticize Su Ai severely, and at the same time satirized Zhuang Yu in a roundabout way.

In fact, Li Siqi can't understand Su Ai, which is normal, because he is a representative of the "Scar School", and he follows the path of bitterness. Of course, he can't understand such literary works, and Su Ai was once regarded as a famous literary writer who seeks roots. He couldn't understand it even more.

But he shot Zhuang Yu at this time, which was a little baffling. To help Zhang Zhong speak?

However, Zhang Zhong and Zhuang Yu didn't respond to this matter at all. Who is he shooting at?
Many people know that Li Siqi had a quarrel with Zhang Zhong. Li Siqi scolded Zhang Zhong long ago when Zhang Zhong was just emerging.

Now that Zhang Zhong was "scolded" by Zhuang Yu, he jumped out in a hurry, and everyone couldn't understand it.

In fact, Li Siqi's behavior is not difficult to understand, as long as you know that he published a new book a week ago.

He probably wanted to pull Su Ai, Zhang Zhong, and Zhuang Yu off the stage at once, and everyone would say a few words back and forth, so that his book could also attract some attention.

Ordinary readers may not think that, after all, Li Siqi is also a respected old artist in the eyes of outsiders.

But in the literary circle, this kind of thing abounds, and it is no cleaner than other circles.

However, Li Siqi's wishful thinking was doomed to fail. He tried to drag Zhang Zhong and the others off the battlefield at night, but unfortunately, none of the three of them came out to reply.

Zhang Zhong is busy with the last few stops of the signing tour, Zhuang Yu is also busy with new works recently, as for Su Ai, there is no such person at all.
