Huayu after the system left

..........

Chen Duling was somewhat dazed.

She was very familiar with Zhou Yang's tone just now.

During the double row process.

Whenever someone loses a game because they're too reckless, he solemnly promises in this tone that he'll definitely be much better next time.

In fact, Zhou Yang did keep his word.

This made Chen Duling feel inexplicably at ease, and she nodded and replied with an "okay".

Next.

The two began chatting about all sorts of things.

As they chatted, the topic turned to Zhou Yang's works.

Although Chen Duling had only read "The Book of Mountains and Rivers", "On the Banks of the Wei River" and "Tianshui Yao", she had read the award-winning short story "Tianshui Yao" many times.

She asked with some curiosity, "Why was your acceptance speech so strange back then?"

Zhou Yang couldn't help but laugh when he heard this question.

Even though two years have passed, he is still constantly asked about the reason.

It's very simple.

There is only one core theme in "Tianshui Yao".

That is to explore how the Han people dealt with the barbarians: should they spend a lot of time and effort to educate them or should they simply exterminate them?

But...

Now, let alone regaining pride and looking down on barbarians, it would be quite good if we could even treat those humanoid beings as equals. Most of the time, we look up to them because of various reasons.

Therefore, the reason for awarding "Tianshui Yao" is quite ridiculous.

It merely recounts the most superficial aspects of the story, how a tale commemorating interracial love slowly evolved into a local legend.

Even the secondary core point, showcasing how the Han people recorded and studied nature, was not mentioned at all.

Zhou Yang didn't believe that those seasoned veterans who had been immersed in writing for years couldn't see through these core concepts.

Therefore, I did not initially think I could win the award.

After all, it is simply too inconsistent with the current mainstream values.

But "Tianshui Yao" won an award.

It was personally selected by a certain tycoon.

So even though the old guys on the judging panel were really unhappy, they still gave the award to "Tianshui Yao," which is why the reason for the award was so strange.

Interracial love.

How perfectly aligned with mainstream Western values!

After learning the identity of the tycoon, Zhou Yang delivered his acceptance speech with great confidence.

I finally understand why some original authors can only get zero points in reading comprehension exercises. No wonder people always say that once a work is written, the right to interpret it no longer belongs to the author.

This is practically telling everyone outright that the reason for the award is utter nonsense, and you shouldn't believe it.

Since then, Zhou Yang has gradually distanced himself from the domestic literary scene.

There's no way I can fit in.

Aside from revealing the identity of that tycoon, Zhou Yang made no attempt to conceal anything, recounting the entire story.

It took Chen Duling a long time to process what she had just learned.

Then she said with a smile, "No wonder I always felt a sense of pride after watching 'Tianshui Yao' before, now I finally understand the source."

"With such poor reading comprehension, it won't be easy for him to become an actor in the future."

"I haven't decided yet whether I want to take this path."

"Oh?"

"My plan is to get my diploma first, and then make real life choices."

"I see."

Suddenly.

A thought flashed through Zhou Yang's mind, and he began to observe Chen Duling carefully, but soon shook his head in disappointment.

"What's wrong?"

"It's a bit of a pity that you have too much of a scholarly air about you. It would be better if you had a more aloof and refined demeanor."

"what?"

Chen Duling was a little confused.

Zhou Yang then explained with a smile, "I started looking for the right person to play Lu Xueqi three years ago, but so far you are the closest. You are only missing that aloofness to be perfect."

"Oh, I see. I'll take that as a compliment. I wish you find it soon."

"I hope so."

Zhou Yang was almost ready to give up.

Thinking that if it didn't work out, he would just let Liu Shishi play Lu Xueqi, so that she wouldn't keep bringing this up to cause trouble for him later.

After all, the older sister can portray that aloof and ethereal feeling, but that's only one standard. It would be better if she and Chen Duling in front of her could combine the two qualities.

Unfortunately not.

and many more.

If the older sister can act it out, why can't Chen Duling?

After this thought popped into his mind, Zhou Yang looked at Chen Duling with shining eyes.

Just then.

A voice from outside the door interrupted his thoughts.

"Dudu, it's time to get your makeup done. We're leaving for the venue soon."

"Okay, I'm coming right now."

After replying, Chen Duling asked in a low voice, "Do you want to come along?"

Zhou Yang smiled and shook his head. "This handsome guy doesn't need it."

"You're so vain. I'm going to the dressing room now."

............

Time slowly ticked down to 10 p.m.

The creators of "The Left Ear" finally appeared at the premiere location.

Shanghai Grand Cinema.

Before getting off the bus.

Zhao Junqi suddenly suggested, "Dudu, are you nervous? How about we let Zhou Yang be your male companion?"

This statement came out.

The male lead, Ou Hao, immediately looked grim.

Ma Sichun, who was standing nearby, immediately pulled him back.

Just as Chen Duling was about to refuse, she heard Zhou Yang beside her reply with a "okay".

Upon hearing this, Zhao Junqi could no longer hide his joy, but then he heard an additional statement.

"But Sister Zhao, don't go too far with this hype."

"I understand, I owe you a favor this time."

"Forget about favors, I'm only here for Dudu anyway."

Before coming, Cai Yinong specifically reminded them that if Zhao Junqi arranged for hype, they should cooperate appropriately.

This can mitigate the impact of the "false alarm" from the previous two days to some extent.

Therefore, Zhou Yang agreed.

After getting off the bus.

Meeting Chen Duling's questioning gaze, he smiled and explained, "Now that we know Zhao Junqi is trying to create hype, we have to take control of the situation and not let the media talk nonsense."

"Is that so?"

"I already told you to leave it to me."

Just then.

A surprised voice echoed around them.

"It's Zhou Yang. The writer who's supposed to be attending is Zhou Yang, and he's even arm in arm with the female lead."

moment.

All the media reporters looked over here.

Countless flashes went off.

The next step, naturally, is the interview.

Most of the initial questions were related to "The Left Ear".

soon.

Someone asked about the relationship between the two, and it was clear that Zhao Junqi had arranged it in advance.

Chen Duling, who was well-prepared for this, did not reveal any flaws.

Anyone who heard this would at most just sigh that the two were destined to be together.

Just as Chen Duling breathed a sigh of relief.

An indignant voice rang out.

"Zhou Yang, you scoundrel, why do you have time to play games and attend movie premieres, but no time to write a sequel to 'The Enforcement Hall'?"

Zhou Yang smiled and replied, "The pigeons are for better creative work."

"nonsense."

"That's the absolute truth."

More and more people were seeing fire in their eyes.

Zhou Yang quickly gave his carefully prepared answer.

"Since winning the award, I have suddenly realized that I have too little life experience, which has begun to limit my subsequent creation of the two novels."

Take "The Hall of Enforcement" as an example. Because I can't construct a properly functioning cultivation civilization in my mind, I'm always dissatisfied with the storylines outside the sect.

This is indeed one of the reasons why Zhou Yang's creative speed has slowed down.

In a world where individual differences can be differentiated through spiritual practice, no experience from modern society can be applied.

Therefore, the more the story unfolds, the more difficult it becomes to create subsequent works.

The same applies to the futuristic science fiction film "The Ethics Committee".

The main content describes how to continue developing after the realization of socialism, until reaching the utopian society that the ancient sages longed for.

This work has been attacked a lot since its release.

Many people ridiculed him, saying, "Have you ever even seen socialism before you're writing nonsense? Besides, the future of humanity is definitely cyberpunk."

Zhou Yang didn't care about this. His problem was that his lack of experience prevented him from deducing the process of social system change.
