Grandpa's great writer

Chapter 671 Calligrapher Xu Hai with Double Standards
Pengpeng didn't write that awkward sentence in the end, but the content of the new diary was not much better, it was still one sentence, and in Zhang Zhong's opinion, it would be better to write about what we had for dinner.

[Today is Friday, so happy. 】

This is the entire content of Zhang Pengpeng's diary on September [-], [-].

What she wrote did not have as many words as the date and weather.

The diary that Zhang Zhong bought for her was an ordinary diary, and she had to write the date and weather by herself.

Open the diary and look at it at a glance. The date and weather line at the beginning is longer than the text below.

The next day, Zhang Zhong and Xu Yuhan took Pengpeng to Yanjing.

Now Pengpeng is already attending classes at CAFA, and hangs out with the seniors in the studio every day.

It is rare to see a girl of Pengpeng's age on the university campus, so the brothers and sisters in the studio like her very much, not to mention that she is Zhang Zhong's daughter and Wu Ziyun's student.

Pengpeng has a lively personality and is lovable, and he is also a duck to water in Yangmei.

Sometimes He Ruchu would come from the Academy of Chinese Painting to look for Zhang Zhong, or invite him to drink tea at the Academy of Chinese Painting.

As for Xu Yuhan, she was idle even if she was idle. Since she returned to Yangmei, she simply regarded herself as a graduate student and silently improved herself.

"I heard that "To Live" is also selling well abroad?" Liang Xiao asked holding a teacup.

As long as Zhang Zhong came to the Chinese Painting Academy to drink tea, Xu Hai and Liang Xiao would definitely come.

When several people get together, they don't have anything to talk about regularly, basically whatever they talk about is what they talk about. Just now when Xu Hai mentioned "To Live", Liang Xiao followed up with a question.

Zhang nodded emphatically, "Well, although it can't compare with novels such as "Dune", it is also better than "Ordinary World"."

He is the author, so of course he knows something about the sales data of his works.

In fact, "Alive" sells well abroad, and it is also divided into regions. Among them, North America and France are the places with the highest sales. This book has sold more than 100 million copies in France alone. This is a very scary figure. After all, France Just a country with a population of less than 7000 million.

And the French have always been a confident country, especially in terms of literature and art, they are inherently more arrogant than other countries, only the Germans often laugh at them.

But it seems that "Alive" is particularly suitable for them, and the data will not lie.

But France, which often laughs at France, is different.

Germany has a population of more than 8000 million, more than 1000 million more than France, but "To Live" only sold more than 40 copies in Germany, which is far behind France.

This is the difference between French and German reading habits.

The language style of "To Live" is concise - it can even be said to be simple, there are very few long sentences, and more short sentences one by one.

This kind of language style can make the French fall in love with it, but it is difficult for the Germans to love it.

However, the previous "Metamorphosis" is particularly popular with the Germans.

The reason why Germans like it is because of the very obscure language in this novel, which is difficult for even Germans to understand.

Many Germans have developed a reading habit. If it is difficult to read, it must have a relatively high artistic level.

In particular, although "Metamorphosis" is relatively obscure to read, after stumbled and finished reading it, there is something to be gained again, which surprised many Germans.

Isn't this the essence of German literature!

Lose direction in the text, fall into a faint in the meaning of the text, touch the sky in the vertigo.

What a wonderful feeling, this is probably art.

In fact, ridicule is ridicule. Every country, or even every place, has its own reading habits. As long as everything is called art, it will inevitably cause controversy.

Something that everyone likes doesn't exist yet, and if it did, it wouldn't be art.

Xu Hai said with a smile, "Art is local, but it also has commonality. You see, although those foreigners can't understand my handwriting, don't they like it?"

Seeing Xu Hai's boast, Liang Xiao teased, "It's because foreigners can't understand, so they can be fooled by you."

"Old Liang, what you said is superficial. How can art be divided into those who understand it and those who don't? Art depends on feeling. If the feeling is right, there will be art."

"Tch." Liang Xiao sneered at Xu Hai's words, "Last time, someone said that your handwriting recited traditional calligraphy and was a sensationalist. Do you still remember how you scolded me?"

Xu Hai raised his head, "Of course I remember, that guy doesn't understand farts. He can't hold a writing brush well, yet he dares to point fingers at my handwriting?"

Liang Xiao shrugged his shoulders, "It's a double standard."

Seeing the two bickering in front of him, Zhang Zhong couldn't help laughing.Artists are also ordinary people, and it is these artists who splash ink and ink, and it is these artists who chat with each other.

When they were bickering, Zhang Zhong and He Ruchu often just laughed and said nothing, they had already seen the strangeness.When they had almost quarreled, He Ruchu said with a smile, "I have read the book "To Live" several times, and I am really moved. When I read this book, I remembered the literary works of the school of Wang Yi and Li Siqi. .Feel the scars, excavate the scars, highlight the scars. But the difference is that "To Live" is obviously very different from those works. I can see the strength brought by the scars in "To Live", not completely resentment and grief."

If Wang Yi knew that He Ruchu put him and Li Siqi together, he would probably be furious.But there is no way, even if Wang Yi is no longer willing to "collaborate" with Li Siqi, Li Siqi is also a brand of scar literature in the Huaxia circle.

No matter whether this brand is good or bad, it has already been branded and cannot be removed.

As for "To Live", of course it is very different from scar literature.

However, some people still associate "To Live" with scar literature because there are indeed many accusations in the book.

And some people think that the tragic fate in "To Live" is due to politics rather than fate itself, which is similar to the essence of scar literature.

Zhang Zhong has never advertised a certain name for his works, let alone being associated with a certain literary genre.

He always believes that the so-called literary labels are left to others to study and resolve, which is no problem.

But when the writer himself confines himself to a certain literary genre, he will still lose his sense of proportion.

The core of literature is still to express oneself.

Whether starting from the heart or from the readers, the most fundamental thing is to return to expressing one's inner impulse.

Even Wang Yi, Zhuang Yu and the others have always insisted rather than being stubborn.
