Grandpa's great writer

Chapter 759 Epic language
"Well, a nice lad."

After seeing the news, Zhang nodded emphatically. He didn't care much about Xu Zizai's status as an anchor.In his eyes, Xu Zizai is no different from other young people who love to read.

"The Call of the Wild" is only about 8 words, and the length is considered short. Some fast readers can finish it in less than two hours. Therefore, not long after the release of this new book, there have been many discussions on the Internet about the new book.

This novel is not entirely Abu’s perspective, but an omniscient perspective. The omniscient perspective is nothing special, and it can also be called God’s perspective.

There is nothing to say about the narrative technique, even some elementary school students can use this narrative technique flexibly.However, Jack London is not a primary school student after all, and the novel has been polished by Zhang Zhong, and there have been some changes in the narrative techniques.

Different from the ordinary omniscient perspective, this "Call of the Wild" is interspersed with the outside perspective and Abu's main perspective, and also provokes the time gap in the story line from time to time.

The former is Jack London's own thing, and the latter is added by Zhang Zhong.

This does not mean that Zhang Zhong is better than Jack London, but that he can stand on the shoulders of Jack London and others, and accomplish things that Jack London cannot do more easily.

……

Fang Ya put down the "Call of the Wild" in his hand, and frowned.

After "Lord of the Flies", Zhang Zhong brought another fable for readers.As a scholar, Fang Ya's first thought when reading books is to explore the author's writing motivation.

We must first figure out why he wrote such a work, and then we can know how he wrote such a work.

In "The Call of the Wild", Fang Ya can feel a kind of cold survivalism of "survival of the fittest", and also feel the work's criticism of anthropocentrism.

At the end of the novel, Abu follows the call of the wilderness and breaks free from the shackles of civilization, which is also its resistance to human beings.

What surprised Fang Ya the most in this novel is the very powerful epic language in it, which is rarely seen in Zhang Zhong's other works.

Except for some of Zhang Zhong's detective novels, his other novels, especially in traditional literature, seldom use exquisite language to attract readers' attention.

The language used in works such as "Xu Sanguan Selling Blood" and "To Live" is extremely ordinary and concise, and even long single sentences rarely appear, let alone magnificent descriptions of big scenes.

The language of "Border Town" is beautiful, but it mainly focuses on the scenery, and does not deliberately use language to create a special atmosphere.

"Sophie's World" is even more obvious. The sentences are extremely ordinary, neither elegant nor concise, and many places are straightforward.

Fang Ya never doubted Zhang Zhong's language ability. He believed that Zhang Zhong's language style should be due to his literary preference.

Literary language preference is not right or wrong, nor is it better or worse.

Fang Ya gave an example when teaching students before. For example, there is a mountain in the distance. The writer wants to describe the mountain. Some writers describe the mountain in extremely detailed language, trying to describe the mountain as much as possible The beauty and majesty of the novel are presented in front of the readers.But some writers only write about a certain part of the mountain, such as the top of the mountain. Readers cannot know the whole picture of the mountain, but they can feel its beauty and toweringness when they see the top of the mountain.

Which of these two writing techniques is more advanced?
No.

Readers can feel different beauty from the two descriptions.

However, Zhang Zhong used something he had never used this time.

"The difficulty of research has increased."

Fang Ya sighed deeply.

After closing the book, Fang Ya rubbed his eyes, then turned on his phone to see what other book friends in the group thought about the new book.

However, no one in the group was discussing the new book at this time, but a game anchor.

After reading the discussions in the group, Fang Ya was surprised to find that the game anchor they were discussing was actually his "brother" Xu Wule.

It turns out that Xu Wule is a game anchor. The reason why everyone discusses him is because he made an affectionate confession in today's live broadcast.

Fang Ya scratched his head. He never thought that Xu Wule was a game anchor. He thought his cheap brother was a college student who loved to study.

He also purposely found the video of Xu Wule confessing his love to Zhang Zhong and watched it.

The young man is quite handsome, and this confession is also very affectionate.

When chatting in the group, Xu Wule was more lively, but from the video, he looked like an honest boy next door.

After thinking about it, Fang Ya found his cheap brother in the friend list, and then made a voice call.

"Hello, fourth brother?" Xu Zizai was a little surprised when he received Fang Ya's call. They had been friends with each other for a long time, but they had always communicated by text, and this was the first time they had made a voice call.

Fang Ya laughed, "Listen to your voice, just woke up?"

"Yeah." In fact, he didn't just wake up, but was sleeping. Fang Ya's phone call woke him up, "Fourth brother, what's the matter with you calling?"

"I saw your news." Fang Ya said.

There was silence on the other end of the phone for a while, Xu Zizai said with some embarrassment, "I'll make you laugh, fourth brother."

"What are you laughing at? I watched the video, and the performance is very good. By the way, you said before that you are in Yanjing."

"Well, yes." There was some doubt in Xu Zizai's voice, he didn't know why Fang Ya suddenly mentioned this.

"I'm also in Yanjing. Do you have time these two days? Let's go out for a meal together." Fang Ya said.

"Yes... Hey, that's not right, fourth brother, I remember you said that you are a Chinese teacher in an elementary school in Jinling, why..."

"That's not important." Fang Ya laughed.

Hearing what Fang Ya said, Xu Zizai also realized that his fourth brother was wearing a vest before, and his identity as a primary school teacher was fabricated.

Xu Zizai didn't mind it too much. It's very common to wear a vest on the Internet. Hasn't he never told anyone that he is a game anchor?
"Okay, where do you live? I live by the north gate."

"I live in the south gate, it's a little far away."

"It's okay, I'll go find you, I just have a rest tonight." Xu Zizai said.

"Well, then it's settled. I'll send you the specific address later."

After the matter was settled, Xu Zizai hung up the phone. He was quite excited at the thought of having a face-to-face meeting with his fourth brother.But listening to the voice of the fourth brother, it seems that he is not young, and I don't know what kind of person he will be.

The reason why Fang Ya wanted to meet Xu Zizai was, on the one hand, because he found things like "running now" very interesting, and on the other hand, he really needed a different perspective to help him study Zhang Zhong. Xu Wule is a very good choice for a game anchor who reads books.
