Chapter 212 The cold Zhang Xian and the gentle Yu Dong
Just a few days before the start of school, students are already returning to school one after another.
Not only students came, but also journalists.
When Yu Dong passed by the communication room, he saw Uncle Zhou giving a "lecture" to a group of reporters.
There is a small blackboard in the communication room, which is usually used to write some announcements so that students passing by can see it immediately. Now it is used by Uncle Zhou for "lectures". Uncle Zhou is not very literate, but he can still speak in a decent manner.
Write the words "The first stop for gold art promotion" on the blackboard.
"If you want to understand Teacher Yu Dong, you must first understand our Jinling Art Institute, our Jinyi... I still remember the autumn of 1991, when Teacher Yu Dong had just graduated from college, and his face was as green as a star.
The apples that grew on the tree in the summer. At that time, I thought he was a new student in our school, so I stopped him and said, "Young man, which college is he from..."
Yu Dong listened outside for a while and felt his scalp numb.
Uncle Zhou's stories are getting richer and richer, and the words and sentences are becoming more artistic (pretentious).
It's just a pain for the reporters who came to interview that they had to listen to Uncle Zhou talk about the history of Jinyi, and then tell some short stories, and then they had to register the information before they could make an appointment for the next interview.
But they didn't gain nothing. At least after listening to Uncle Zhou's stories, they could go back and make up some interesting anecdotes about famous people.
Throughout the ages, most anecdotes about famous people have been passed down by word of mouth.
Now, in order to increase credibility, we will also add the sentence "according to people familiar with the matter".
In fact, the reporters who came to interview in the next few days were not all focused on Yu Dong. Occasionally, they also paid attention to Bi Feiyu.
From last year to now, Bi Feiyu has published many articles in first-class literary publications. In addition, he happens to be teaching at Jinyi University with Yu Dongdu, so more and more media are paying attention to him.
Yu Dong knew that as Bi Feiyu became more and more famous, this situation would become more and more common. Maybe one day, more media would pay attention to Bi Feiyu than to him.
…
A few days after Yu Dong left, Zhu Changsheng pondered a problem and went to see He Qizhi.
"Old He, will the title "Xiangxi" cause some unnecessary misunderstandings?"
Seeing Zhu Changsheng's worried expression, He Qizhi asked: "Why do you say that? Is there anything wrong with the title of the book?"
"Do you still remember the article titled "Shaanxi Army's Eastern Expedition" published by Guangming Daily at the end of May?
He Qizhi nodded, "Remember, Han Xiaohui wrote it."
"Yes, you see, now the Shaanxi Army's Eastern Expedition is becoming more and more famous. If "Xiangxi" comes out at this time. If the work has no impact, then forget it. If the work..."
He Qizhi understood immediately, "You are afraid that someone will use this title to make a fuss, saying that Yu Dong deliberately targets Shaanxi writers."
"Yes, that's what I mean."
He Qizhi frowned and said: "Isn't this a bit unfounded? Except for the coincidence of the name, other aspects are not relevant at all."
Zhu Changsheng said nothing. Although He Qizhi said so, his expression said everything. He was also a little worried about this matter.
They have dealt with "Going West" and naturally know that the title has no other meaning, but others may not think so.
There was silence in the office for a while, and He Qizhi knocked on the table lightly: "We don't have to worry about this matter. If you are afraid of this controversy, then you won't be able to do anything. Well... let's talk to Yu Dong, I
Come call him and explain to him clearly the possible impact and our attitude. As for whether to change the title of the book, it is up to him to decide."
…
As soon as Yu Dong returned to his dormitory, he received a call from He Qizhi. He thought there was something wrong with the manuscript, but after hearing what He Qizhi said, he realized that it was because of the title of the book.
To be honest, he never thought that the title of the book would collide with "Shaanxi Army's Eastern Expedition". Because there are too many such book titles, if it were to be said that his name would collide with "Eastern Expedition".
"If the magazine has no objection, I don't want to change the title of the book."
"okay, I get it."
He Qizhi didn't ask any more questions, he just wanted to know Yu Dong's attitude.
Even if there is controversy in the future, Yu Dong himself will be able to be aware of it.
After hanging up the phone with He Qizhi, Yu Dong no longer thought about the title of the book.
He is very busy during the beginning of school. Although he is not required to welcome new students, there is still a lot of work that needs to be done by him.
Zhang Xian also proposed to hold a meeting for new students of Drama Innovation, and the teachers and counselors of Drama Innovation would give speeches to the students.
These students have basically never been exposed to drama creation before, and may only have a vague concept of drama creation. Zhang Xian wants to use this method to let the freshmen quickly have a general understanding of this major.
It was precisely this freshman meeting that gave Yu Dong a different understanding of Zhang Xian.
Originally, Yu Dong always felt that Zhang Xian was a reserved, good-natured person and a gentle teacher.
But as soon as the meeting began, as the dean of the department, he gave the freshmen a slap in the face.
"Do you know what major you are studying? You are studying a major that seems to be full of emotions, but is actually the most ruthless. You will never cry again when watching movies or reading books. You will think that family, friendship and love are ridiculous, and they are everywhere.
Flawed feelings. The days when you relied on your parents and used your parents as a shade are over. You will think that the sweetness of your lover is just a sensational fragment that you can write into an article... What you have learned is how to become cruel and cold.
You must learn to watch other people's pain with cold eyes, then analyze this crying, write this pain, and make your readers miserable..."
After hearing this, Yu Dong and Bi Feiyu both felt a little depressed, let alone new students.
This is simply a slap in the face.
The students below were stunned. They felt as if they had entered an unknown and terrifying world, like children who had just entered kindergarten. After playing for a while, they discovered that their parents had disappeared.
After Zhang Xian finished speaking, it was Yu Dong's turn to take the stage to speak.
Seeing the pitiful looks of the students, Yu Dong couldn't bear it, so he said a little more tactfully: "Dear students, what you Teacher Zhang said is only one aspect. In fact, advanced writing requires a kind of empathy. Watching other people's pain.
, you can still not be cold-eyed. You can also analyze the pain of others without being indifferent. You will enter a multi-layered, extremely rich, and different perspective on the world from before. In this
Perspective, coldness is just a choice.”
