Huayu: As a child star, I just want to be famous

Chapter 577 Who is the best contemporary writer? (6K) (asking for monthly votes)
"Why don't you broadcast live? The effect should be better this way." Liu Qianqian asked curiously.

"With Li Ao here, of course we can't broadcast live,"

Chen Linfeng said helplessly, "This guy dares to say anything, and we are not sure whether he will say something that cannot be broadcast. The authorities must be cautious."

Li Ao once gave a speech at Yenching University, and was summoned for a questioning right after the speech because he spoke too recklessly.

"Ah? Isn't he a master?"

“It’s hard to say whether he is a master or not, but he is definitely the kind of scholar who is least like a scholar.”

Liu Qianqian blinked, with a puzzled look in her eyes.

I didn't know much about him before, I just heard his name and said he was a master or something.

Now hearing Xiaofeng say this, it feels different from what I remember.

……

Yenching University dormitory.

Lin Zhiyu was sitting at the table surfing the Internet.

Not far away, Li Kang was lying on the bed reading a book, and next door Cheng Zehao was playing the new game League of Legends.

Another one was out. If nothing unexpected happened, they were probably having a romance in the playground.

It can be said that the years are peaceful and quiet.

Suddenly, Lin Zhiyu sat up excitedly, "Fuck!"

The voice was high-pitched and loud, as if someone had seen a ghost.

Li Kang was reading a book and was so absorbed in it that he was startled by the sudden sound. He could not help but yelled angrily,

"What's the matter? Stop getting so startled, okay?"

"Chen Linfeng is coming to our school, and I heard that Li Ao is coming too. The two are going to have a summit dialogue."

"Fuck, is it true?"

Li Kang immediately became excited.

He quickly put the book aside and saw that the name of the book was "Lord of Mysteries".

Needless to say, this is also a loyal reader of Chen Linfeng.

Li Kang got off the bed, walked to the table, pulled a chair, and watched with Lin Zhiyu.

Cheng Zehao, who was playing games, heard the names of Chen Linfeng and Li Ao and immediately typed a message on the public screen:

"Brothers, I'm going to get some takeout first, please wait for me for a moment."

Then he moved his chair and moved closer.

"Oh my god, why are you so busy?"

"No, the team fight is about to start."

"Mad, come back soon"

"..."

The three of them looked at the contents on the computer together.

This is the content posted on the school's Weiming BBS forum. This matter is pinned to the top of the academic updates section.

"A special lecture by Li Ao and Chen Linfeng, in the form of dialogue and communication, will be held on November 11."

Some people are also discussing this in the popular comments.

Click on the announcement post and you will see the specific location, which is the Centennial Memorial Lecture Hall, where lectures or activities are often held.

All three of them had been to that place.

Scrolling down, there are also guests attending the meeting, including Ma Yun, Huang Yi, Wang Shuo, not to mention the school leaders and professors. It seems to be a large scale event.

"Oh my god, they are all celebrities." Cheng Zehao said.

As a student of Yan University, I certainly don't look up to others, but I still couldn't help but sigh.

"Indeed," Li Kang nodded, "I'm going to apply for registration, are you going?"

"Need I say more?" they said in unison.

This is Chen Linfeng!

Even celebrities are divided into different levels, and Chen Linfeng is undoubtedly the highest level cultural celebrity.

Especially this person has a close connection with Yan University. The top scorer in the college entrance examination rejected their invitation and went to Yan Film Academy. This is still a widely circulated news.

They had heard about it a lot in high school, and even more so after entering Yanjing University.

Being the rejected party is always a different feeling.

I heard that many senior students thought that he was self-degrading.

Of course, the current public opinion atmosphere has definitely changed a lot. After all, Chen Linfeng’s current achievements have proved the correctness of his choice, at least partially correct.

Quite a number of people have come to terms with his choice back then.

The three of them signed up quickly.

There are too many people who have signed up, so I guess we will have to draw lots later.

In the popular sections, everyone is discussing it heatedly.

"Li Ao is always rude when he speaks. Will the two of them quarrel?"

"Maybe, Chen Linfeng has a strong personality, and the two of us will definitely have some opposing views."

"Indeed, it will be fun to watch then."

The three of them looked through several posts, all of which were discussing related topics and speculating about the grand occasion.

This made the three of them feel a little excited.

When Cheng Zehao looked at it, he always felt that something was wrong.

When Lin Zhiyu clicked on the opinion post again, his attention was distracted, he tilted his head, and suddenly saw his own screen.

"Oh my god, my game isn't over yet."

Only then did he remember.

He quickly sat back down and typed out a long apology.

"Sorry, it took a while to pick up the package."

A series of information instantly appeared below.

"You took so long, you must have gone to take a shit."

"It didn't take that long to poop, I guess there was another rush."

"One wave is not enough. With the speed of the rat, two more waves won't be too much. We also have to take into account the sage's time."

"..."

The four teammates who refused to surrender launched continuous mental attacks.

Cheng Zehao was sweating profusely and quickly tried to save the situation.

But the idle time was too long and it was useless, and the base was pushed down without any suspense.

……

This celebrity dialogue lecture at Yenching University quickly spread throughout Yenching University.

A large number of students from other schools also wanted to attend the event and signed up.

Who hasn’t grown up watching Chen Linfeng’s works?
For these college students, Chen Linfeng is completely different from ordinary stars, because he is not only a star, but also a director and a famous writer.

This is a true idol.

The number of places is limited and the number of applicants is large.

This made our school's chances of being selected increasingly smaller, causing great dissatisfaction among our students.

Complain loudly in the school forum.

But there is no way, this kind of activity is usually open to the public, and as a student of this school, I already have a great advantage.

November 11, Yenching University.

There were already a large number of reporters gathered at the school gate.

Except for a few qualified media, no one was allowed to enter the school, but this did not affect the gathering of a large number of media.

Even if it's just taking a few photos, or stopping a vehicle and asking a few questions.

Just at this moment, three or four cars drove over.

The reporter had already noted down the vehicle models and license plates of several cars that Chen Linfeng often rode in.

As soon as they saw that it was me, a group of media reporters immediately surrounded me with cameras.

"Excuse me, Mr. Chen, what topic do you plan to discuss with Li Ao today?"

"Will the two of you start arguing right then and there?"

"There's news that Liu Qianqian is pregnant. Is this true?"

The reporters in the front row kept knocking on the car window, wanting Chen Linfeng to open the window and answer a few questions.

The reporters in the back row were trying their best to stretch the microphones forward.

The vehicle slowly drove through the crowd until it entered the school gate with the help of the security guard.

Get off at the underground station.

Traveling with him were not only members of Chen Linfeng's team, bodyguards, etc., but also the publicity photographers accompanying V Station.

V station is also one of the media that has obtained the qualification this time.

"Teacher Chen!"

Shen Xiaoming, the head of the Department of Literature at Yanda University, took several teachers and administrators and spoke to Chen Linfeng first.

"Welcome to Yanda."

Shen Xiaoming was a bit serious. There were no stars in his eyes. Instead, he treated his attitude as that of a writer or teacher from other schools.

"Hello, Mr. Shen."

Chen Linfeng smiled and shook hands with him.

The teachers behind Shen Xiaoming also came forward one by one to greet and shake hands.

"Teacher Chen is really young and promising."

"That's ridiculous."

"I really like your book 'She'. It's always new to me."

Chen Linfeng was speechless.

Sure enough, the academic community now attaches more importance to his previous work "She".

Now that we are approaching 2014, many of the views mentioned in the book have been confirmed at this point in time.

For the few that have not been fully confirmed, there are some rough signs.

This also makes the book "She" more valued in the fields of literature and academia.

In places like Yanjing University, some people even organized a research group to study this book.

Of course, this is a community-based organization and is not too formal.

But it's an exaggeration anyway.

Everyone was walking and chatting, not in a hurry to enter the venue.

It was still early, and Shen Xiaoming took Chen Linfeng on a tour of the school.

"Teacher Chen, are you interested in teaching at Yanda? Many students in our literature department like your works."

Chen Linfeng's heart moved.

Any Chinese person would be interested in this kind of thing.

Just think about how busy he is now, he really has no time to attend classes.

Even Yanying is supervising students on the crew, so it’s even harder for us to handle it here.

He declined with a hint of helplessness, "Yenching University is one of the best universities in China. I am very interested in this school, but I really don't have the time.

As you know, I not only write novels, but also have film work to do.”

Shen Xiaoming was unwilling to give up.

"What about an honorary professor? You don't need to come to school all the time. Just come and give a lecture once or twice a year."

If he were just a best-selling novelist, even a very best-selling one, he would not have made such an invitation.

But he is also a world-renowned director, and his work "Her" has an extraordinary status in academia.

This concept is different.

Look at Zhang Yimou, who has received honorary doctorates from the Maoxiong Film Academy, Hong Kong Island City University, Boston University, Yale University and other schools, and is also a distinguished professor at the College of Humanities of Zhejiang University. After winning the three gold director awards, he has been invited by famous schools.

It’s just that Chen Linfeng is too young now, so everyone is still quite reserved.

But Shen Xiaoming felt that if he didn't act quickly, it might be too late.

He would not be surprised at all if the School of Arts of Yanda University one day used the Department of Film and Television Directing as an excuse to take action.

Not to mention Shuimu University and a number of "friendly" schools further down the list are eyeing us covetously.

It’s better to strike first.

Back then, Xiao Chen rejected both Yanda and Shuimu schools. Now he would like to join Yanda.

Doesn’t this mean that Yan University defeated Shuimu University?

Thinking of this, Shen Xiaoming became even more anxious, and the word "win" was almost written in his eyes.

Honorary professor?

Chen Linfeng was completely moved now.

He never paid much attention to money in his life, or rather, if he wanted to make money, he had plenty of ways to do it.

But "fame" is really his weak point.

Do you use this to test cadres?

I can't stand it~
Chen Linfeng was still a little reserved, "Well, I'm only 25 years old now. According to the rules at Yanying, I haven't even been promoted to professor. It's a bit inappropriate for you to directly invite me to be an honorary professor."

"What's inappropriate about this?" Shen Xiaoming said immediately. "It's a new era now. How can we still use the old practices of looking at age and seniority?"

He said earnestly, "As the saying goes, those who are accomplished come first. Your attainments in popular literature have long surpassed those of your peers. Now in the whole of China, there is no one who is better than you. Students also recognize you. There is no one more suitable than you.

I think you can’t be too modest. You have to set a good example for your students.”

"Okay then." Chen Linfeng said hesitantly.

I feel like Dean Shen is really good at making things difficult for people.

For a long time afterwards, he tried his best to control his expression and press the corners of his mouth down as much as possible.

Fortunately, his acting skills are still up to par, after all, he is a professional.

There shouldn't be any flaws.

……

At 1 p.m., a group of people came to the Memorial Lecture Hall.

The activity started at 2 pm, but considering that the communication time might be a bit long, it was postponed to the afternoon.

This will allow for more flexibility.

Someone had already arrived in the reception room.

"Mr. Chen!"

The moment Ma Yun saw Chen Linfeng appear, she walked forward.

"I heard that there would be a topic about Jin Yong's martial arts this time, so I immediately decided to come."

"Mr. Ma is still so interested in martial arts."

Ma Yun was very pleased with herself, "Of course, I like the chivalrous and righteous stories in Mr. Jin Yong's books the most."

But you just like it. The greatest heroes serve their country and their people, but you haven't learned anything from them.

Chen Linfeng complained secretly.

The two shook hands, found a place to sit and started chatting.

It is true that Ma Yun likes Jin Yong's martial arts novels.

As early as 2000, he hosted the "West Lake Sword Discussion".

This was a very famous event in the early days of Internet companies.

Chen Linfeng couldn't help but ask about the inside details of the incident.

Ma Yun, the person involved, knew the most and explained it to him.

He talked about the grand occasion when everyone was discussing the future of the Internet, and how Jin Yong, as the host, had the demeanor of a master.

Finally, the topic turned to martial arts.

It seems like you really like talking about this.

"Mr. Jin Yong's martial arts world is indeed extremely exciting."

While the two were talking, someone else joined in the conversation.

"Mr. Huang Yi," Chen Linfeng's eyes lit up, "your new style of martial arts is not inferior to others."

Compared with Jin Yong, he actually likes Huang Yi more.

After all, this guy writes novels with really sexy content.

So much so that for a period of time, many similar pirated books were attributed to Huang Yi.

In addition, he also liked this gentleman's attitude towards online literature.

"Mr. Chen, you are too kind. In terms of writing, I am still far behind Mr. Jin Yong."

"Since we are making friends through writing, it would be more intimate to call you by your pen name," Chen Linfeng interrupted.

"Okay then, Mr. Qilin." Huang Yi readily followed suit.

He said with a smile, "In fact, your novel, Qilin, is truly amazing. From the very beginning, it is different from many traditional styles. It is like a thunderbolt that appears out of nowhere, and all kinds of wild and unrestrained ideas are really astonishing."

Ma Yun nodded in agreement, "Indeed, Mr. Chen's novels feel completely different from the works of other domestic authors."

Huang Yi said, "Speaking of which, every writer who has achieved a certain level of success has his or her own unique style, but among them, Mr. Qilin is the most unique."

Ma Yun interrupted, "Or rather, this variety of subject matter and the novel ideas that always come with it are Mr. Chen's style."

He became emotional and couldn't help but comment on today's Chinese writers.

"Mr. Jin Yong is the only remaining martial arts master.

Mr. Huang Yi, also a legendary writer of martial arts novels, has pioneered a new style of martial arts novels.

In terms of serious literature, Yu Hua and Mo Yan are the best. They both focus more on the past and traditional hometown. They are the epitome of that era and are at the master level.

Mr. Li Ao has sharp words and unique insights in literature, and is also a literary giant.

......"

"And Chen Linfeng," Ma Yun finally turned to look at him,
“You are now a world-class bestselling novelist, and you may become a creator of global popular culture that influences generations, just as much as your predecessors.

It is a wonderful thing to live in the same era as you all.”

After saying this series of words, Ma Yun felt refreshed and burst into laughter.

As a person who was a teacher, it was obvious that he had some literary dreams.

In other words, people of his generation have more or less similar ideas.

It was just that experience made him drift further and further away from this path.

But nowadays, it would be nice to be able to comment on some of the most capable literary writers of our time.

Many people in the room heard what Ma Yun said.

Li Ao, who had just come in from behind, also heard it.

"Boss Ma, I don't agree with your point of view. You are just praising everyone and you don't think independently at all."

Ma Yun turned his head and found that it was Li Ao. His expression immediately turned unfriendly.

Although Li Ao was praised in the previous speech, if you listen carefully you will know that he is the one who gets the least comments, or in other words, the evaluation is relatively low.

This is of course true. For one thing, Li Ao himself does not have any particularly famous works.

He also looked down on Jin Yong, which made Ma Yun very unhappy.

You are a writer who makes a living by copying other celebrities, so it's good enough that I praise you a few words.

"Oh? Then what do you think, Mr. Li Ao?"

Ma Yun looked at him and smiled politely.

Can you criticize all the writers I mentioned before and then highlight yourself?
Of course, Li Ao is not to the extent of looking down on everyone.

He smiled slightly, "We can discuss this issue on stage later."

After he reminded everyone, they realized that it was almost 2 o'clock and it was time to enter.

Outside, the multi-purpose hall was already full of people.

Li Kang and Cheng Zehao sat in chairs at the front of the hall, looking excited.

Three people from the dormitory signed up together, but in the end, the two of them drew the tickets, and Lin Zhiyu was left behind.

I guess he is crying in the dormitory now.

The two smiled at each other and felt very happy.

There were several cameras placed around the entire hall, most of which were aimed at the stage, and some were facing the audience.

Reporters from CCTV, Sina, V Station, Penguin Video and other media were walking around from time to time, interviewing the student audiences present.

"What do you think of Chen Linfeng?"

"What kind of person do you think Mr. Li Ao is?"

"What do you think of Mr. Jin Yong's evaluation of Chen Linfeng?"

"..."

As the time approached 2 o'clock, Xiao Sa, the host of "Yan Da is OK" began to warm up the audience on the stage.

The exchange speeches at the university are not like a show where everyone has to go on stage one by one.

All the participants came out directly and took their seats.

The first two are at the center, and the others sit on both sides.

Xiao Sa introduced the guests present today.

"Mr. Li Ao, a famous writer, critic and historian from Taiwan!"

"Mr. Chen Linfeng, a well-known Chinese writer, director, screenwriter, and actor."

"Master of martial arts, Mr. Huang Yi."

"Mr. Wang Shuo, a contemporary Chinese writer and screenwriter."

"Mr. Yan Jiayan, professor at Yenching University and literary critic."

Every time a name was called, there was warm applause from the audience.

Every one of them is a successful and famous figure, enough to impress these chosen ones.

Including Yan Jiayan, who used to be the director of the Department of Literature, and many students are actually quite familiar with him.

After Xiao Sa's opening remarks, he warmed up the audience a little and then turned the topic over to the guests on the stage. After all, they were the protagonists of today.

Chen Linfeng smiled and spoke first, "Mr. Li Ao, you said you wanted to talk about the topic we discussed in the room just now on stage. Now is the perfect time, you can continue."

Worried that the students in the audience might not understand, he described to everyone his experience in the reception room, including Ma Yun's comments and Li Ao's disapproval, saying that he would give his own evaluation on stage.

Li Kang’s eyes lit up immediately. It was so funny.

Let Li Ao evaluate famous contemporary literary writers?

Was it so exciting from the start?

The college students in the audience also became excited.

The reporters around were even more excited. Every cut should result in blood being shed. That's what makes the show great.

Everyone's eyes, including the camera lenses, were focused on Li Ao.

Li Ao may have already thought of what to say. He calmly said to Ma Yun,
"Mr. Ma, why do I disagree with the people you just evaluated? The key is that I think you are not a literary worker after all, and you cannot see some details clearly."

When in public, Ma Yun always does whatever she can to please the public.

He smiled and said, "Oh? Well, I want to hear your opinion, Mr. Li Ao."

Li Ao said, “In my opinion, Yu Hua’s portrayal of the mainland in the past era is quite good and deserves some praise.

Forget about Mo Yan, he is just a name."

There were some small discussions in the audience.

Li Ao didn't care and continued, "I am different from Yu Hua. I like to comment on the present and focus on the present.

So I say, among contemporary writers, the first is Li Ao, the second is Li Ao, and the third is still Li Ao. "

The discussion in the audience gradually became louder.

"Chen Linfeng, this person is a little special."

Everyone's eyes instantly turned to him, but Chen Linfeng remained expressionless, as if he was not the one being talked about.
