Grandpa's great writer

Chapter 749 Innate Talent

On the way back to the hotel from the park, Zhang Zhong received a call from Lin Xiang.

"Ms. Zhang, I'm really sorry. I heard what happened last night from my friends, and I'm really ashamed." Lin Xiang's tone was full of embarrassment. Although he couldn't remember what happened last night, just listening His friend's description already made him wish he could find a place to drill down.

Why did I meet Zhang Zhong.

There were a few other people, and from his friend's description, Lin Xiang guessed that it might be Zhuang Yu and the others. After all, Zhang Zhong had the closest relationship with them.

Although Zhang Zhong was about the same age as him, he actually had the feeling of being discovered by his elders for doing bad things.

"It's nothing, it's not a crime to be drunk, and you're not playing drunk, you're doing pretty well." Zhang Zhong didn't say that to comfort him. It's not a bad thing for young people to drink sometimes, and Lin Xiang didn't play tricks. Drunkenness is also real.

"Anyway, I was very rude yesterday. I heard that there were a few friends who were with you yesterday, so I apologize to them too." Lin Xiang said.

"Well, I'll bring your apology. It must be uncomfortable just waking up from a hangover. Go eat something and drink some hot soup, let's not talk about it."

"Teacher Zhang--"

Just when Zhang Zhong was about to hang up the phone, Lin Xiang stopped him again.

"Huh? Is there anything else?"

"Mr. Zhang, although I'm very sorry, I have an unfeeling request. What happened last night..."

"Don't worry, we won't talk about it outside, but you should also pay attention to your health. Drinking alcohol is not the solution to the problem. If you really want to say something in your heart, you can open your heart and say it."

"Thank you, Teacher Zhang."

"Well, it's hung up."

……

"Lin Xiang, Lin Xiang, I found out, is he the author of "The Call of the Wild"?"

Just as Lin Xiang hung up the phone, the friend who was with him before ran over holding his mobile phone.

"The Call of the Wild? Did you make a mistake? He doesn't seem to have written this book." Lin Xiang asked suspiciously. Although he hadn't read all of Zhang Zhong's books, he had heard the titles of them all. Based on his memory , if Zhang rewrites the book, he should not forget it.

The friend also looked puzzled. Just now, after he told Lin Xiang that his friend was called Zhang Zhong last night, Lin Xiang was very excited, so he asked who Zhang Zhong was.

Lin Xiang didn't give him a detailed explanation, but said helplessly: You didn't recognize the light of Huaxia.

Hearing what Lin Xiang said, he checked it on his mobile phone, but the first message he found was Zhang Zhong and "The Call of the Wild".

"It seems to be a recent new book."

"It's even more impossible for a new book." Lin Xiang rolled his eyes, took the phone from him, read the news items on it, and then his expression turned sick, and he actually had "The Call of the Wild".

[Zhang's new book "The Call of the Wild" will be released globally on February 26]

It turned out to be a preview of the new book, and it was this morning when I saw the news release.

……

The news of the release of "The Call of the Wild" was only announced this morning, so the first thing Lin Xiang's friends searched for Zhang Chong was the name of the new book.

It has been two full months since the release of Zhang Zhong's last book "Lord of the Flies", which is relatively long enough.

However, because of the Goncourt Literary Award, everyone was distracted, so these two months have passed without feeling anything.

The release time of the new book "The Call of the Wild" is very intriguing, because the final result of the Goncourt Prize for Literature will be officially announced on February [-]th, Paris time, only about five days after the release of the new book.

From the moment the news of the new book was announced, apart from paying attention to the news of the Goncourt Prize, Zhang Zhong's fans had one more thing to do, which was to wait for the arrival of the new book.

Every time a new book is announced, the type of work will inevitably arouse people's discussion.

The call of the wild, such a title cannot provide any useful information. Detective suspense, science fiction and fantasy, and traditional literature all seem to be suitable for this name.

Of course, more people think this will be a serious literary work.

Because if it is another type of book, the title of the book is generally more representative, such as the Poirot series, "Murder on the Orient Express", "Tragedy on the Nile", "The Mysterious Case of Stiles Manor", these titles I knew it was a detective novel, and even the location of the crime was written in the title of the book.

Another example is science fiction, "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?" ", "I, Robot" and "The Last Starfish" all sound like titles that science fiction should have.

But this is only a possibility, after all, there are also misleading titles such as "A Bouquet for Algernon", "A Murder in Advance", and "The Snowman".

……

As soon as Fang Ya opened the group in the morning, he saw the news of the new book, and his younger brother "Xu Wule" even liked him.

Xu Wule: Fourth Brother, a new book is coming, does the title sound familiar?

Xu Sile: The title of the book doesn't tell anything. If you don't believe me, you can apply this title to "Lord of the Flies", isn't it okay?
Xu Wule: Fourth brother, what you said is very reasonable. The name change of "Lord of the Flies" seems to be true.

Fang Ya is right, "The Call of the Wild" does fit the theme of "Lord of the Flies" somewhat, so it is not impossible to use this title.

Bubbling in the group, Fang Ya rubbed his head. He looked at "Lord of the Flies" on the desk, and felt that his workload had suddenly increased a lot.

Two months have passed, and he hasn't studied this "Lord of the Flies" thoroughly.

Not only this book, but also the analysis papers written by critics and writers in Europe and America.

Fang Ya tried to analyze this book from different angles, basically he tried all the directions mentioned by scholars on the Internet.

In the past two years, the more Fang Ya studied Zhang Zhong, the more he felt that there was a huge treasure in front of him.He feels that Zhang Zhong is not only a material base for his study of comparative literature, but also a material base for all scholars of literature and art history today.

He looked at "A Premeditated Murder" next to "Lord of the Flies". This book had been on his desk for a long time, and he would pick it up to read whenever he had time.

Fang Ya feels that these two books alone are enough for him to study for a long time, especially the narrative method in "A Premature Murder Case", which is a magical method that even ordinary people can feel.

And behind the dazzling and extremely special narrative technique, lies the fact that Zhang Zhong's research on narrative has reached the point of proficiency.

No, it shouldn't be research, Fang Ya prefers this method because Zhang Zhong's innate talent.
