Chapter 472 We Are Really Classmates
When Shen Yunliang accompanied Cheng Xuyuan to the auditorium of Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, he felt a little numb.
During the communication a few days ago, there were no more than ten people involved.
Although everything went according to the planned steps, he felt that the other party was being perfunctory.
But now, the huge crowds of people really gave him a huge sense of contrast.
Is this the influence of Cheng Xuyuan? He also realized the importance of Cheng Xuyuan for the first time.
As the person who came here with Cheng Xuyuan, he still had a good seat, but at this moment, he had no time to enjoy it.
He stared with wide eyes at Cheng Xuyuan who followed the host temporarily arranged by the school to the podium.
Cheng Xuyuan was very calm, but at this moment, all eyes were on him.
After all, the temporary host was from Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, and basically everyone knew him.
The unfamiliar Cheng Xuyuan became Xiao Ding in the eyes of many people.
"Dear students, today we are very honored to invite Mr. Xiao Ding, the author of Zhu Xian, to give us a lecture."
"Now, let's welcome Teacher Xiao Ding with warm applause."
As the host extended his hand towards Cheng Xuyuan, a burst of enthusiastic applause broke out crazily.
How could a novel be so popular? Shen Yunliang didn't believe it.
But this is also because he has never seen Mr. Cha being popular.
Cheng Xuyuan's young and handsome appearance also adds a lot of points to him.
As the host finished his speech, the stage was handed over to Cheng Xuyuan.
He did not sit down immediately, but said to the students present: "Hello, classmates. The classmate I am talking about is not a respectful title for everyone."
"In fact, we are really classmates."
Hearing this, some students were stunned.
I thought that this great writer who wrote Zhu Xian was from our school, so he called us classmates here.
If that's the case, it's such a coincidence.
Looking at the messy scene below, Cheng Xuyuan smiled and said, "The reason I say this is because I am also a college student."
"It's just that we are not from the same school."
"I am Cheng Xuyuan, a sophomore from Yenching University. Xiao Ding is one of my pen names."
“I am very happy to see you all today.”
A student of Yenching University! He is really a college student like himself and others. This is too surprising.
When many people were in shock, a student in the front row suddenly said, "Hello, Mr. Xiao Ding, you said Xiao Ding is one of your pen names, do you have other pen names that we know of?"
Cheng Xuyuan smiled and said, "This classmate's question just hits the nail on the head about what I'm about to say now."
"Then let's say hello again."
"I am Cheng Xuyuan, and I am also Dangnian Mingyue, the author of Things About the Ming Dynasty. I am very happy to meet you all."
As Cheng Xuyuan finished speaking, someone in the audience started to ask, "Is this... is this Cheng Xuyuan mentally ill?"
"It would be fine if he was Xiao Ding, but why is he still Dangnian Mingyue?"
"They are two authors, how can they be the same person?"
There were doubts, but some people also reacted instantly: "I was wondering why he looked familiar, he is Dangnian Mingyue."
"I've seen him before."
"I just didn't expect that Zhu Xian was also written by him."
"This guy is really good at writing."
Some people even asked in surprise: "Is he really the Dangnian Mingyue who recited the history of the Ming Dynasty backwards?"
"Yes, I was standing next to him when he was reciting the history of Ming Dynasty backwards. I was wondering why he looked familiar when he came on stage."
“I just didn’t dare to recognize it at that time!”
"Recite the History of Ming Dynasty backwards? Brother, are you serious? Is there really anyone who can recite the History of Ming Dynasty backwards?"
"It's true, and it's on display in our school's library. Oh, I didn't expect that he could not only write history books, but also fairy tales..."
When the chaotic discussions gradually died down, Cheng Xuyuan smiled and said, "Everyone, I said I would give a lecture today, but actually, I haven't prepared anything to say."
"Why don't you give me a topic and we can discuss it together."
Hearing Cheng Xuyuan say this, the voices below, which had originally quieted down a lot, began to boil again.
Shen Yunliang and others standing aside looked at each other in bewilderment.
They originally thought that with Cheng Xuyuan's words, all problems would be solved.
But I didn't expect that Cheng Xuyuan was a bit unreliable.
This is really...
Just when the audience was in a mess, someone said, "Teacher Xiao Ding, I am a loyal reader of Zhu Xian. I would like to ask you how to write a good Xianxia novel."
"Or you can use this to tell us about it."
As soon as these words were spoken, the surroundings suddenly became much quieter.
Although there were many students reading Cheng Xuyuan's Ming Dynasty Affairs, they all gathered here because of the popular TV series Zhu Xian.
Of course, there are more people who like to read novels.
They came here just to discuss Zhu Xian.
Asking Cheng Xuyuan to talk about how to write a good fantasy novel is a topic that many people can accept.
This topic sounds simple, but in fact, it is not easy to explain.
This is like asking a writer to talk about how to win a big award for his work.
Just when Shen Yunliang thought that this matter was not so simple, he heard Cheng Xuyuan say with a smile: "Writing a good fairy tale novel is easy and not easy."
"As for me, I divide the Xianxia novels I write into the following categories."
"The first category is the prehistoric immortal heroes. This part..."
Cheng Xuyuan has a lot of knowledge about the classification of fantasy novels in later generations, so he can talk about it very clearly.
Shen Yunliang listened to the so-called one qi becoming three pure ones, the dispute between the three religions integrated with the Conferred Gods, the twelve witch ancestors and the demon clan heaven...
Although his mind told him that this was all made up by Cheng Xuyuan, he still couldn't help but admire his former son-in-law's imagination.
As Cheng Xuyuan finished explaining each category, everyone present couldn't help but applaud enthusiastically.
Cheng Xu spent more than an hour talking about the classification of fantasy novels alone.
After almost finishing writing this classification, Cheng Xuyuan said: "How to write a good novel can actually be summed up in four words: read more and think more."
“So, I hope that everyone, whether or not you want to pursue a career in writing, will read more and think more.”
"Thank you very much for your support. What I just said are just my humble opinions."
"If there is anything I said wrong, please give me your advice."
As Cheng Xuyuan spoke modestly, the applause around him became louder and louder.
"Mr. Shen, the young people nowadays are really beyond our reach!" A colleague standing next to Shen Yunliang said to Shen Yunliang with a hint of emotion.
Shen Yunliang quite agreed with this sentiment. He also did not expect that Cheng Xuyuan would be so eloquent.
The key point is that what Cheng Xuyuan said can be justified.
The applause lasted for half a minute before it began to fade away.
At this time, the host came on stage again. He said in a deep voice: "Thank you very much Mr. Xiao Ding for bringing us the Xianxia novel writing lecture. I don't know how you feel, but I have benefited a lot from it."
“I feel like I can write a novel.”
"Now we are going to enter the second part of this lecture, which is the free exchange time."
"If you have any questions, please raise your hand and ask."
"I will randomly select people to ask questions, but let's make it clear in advance that Mr. Xiao will only answer five questions in this lecture."
'Please cherish this opportunity and think carefully before asking questions.'
The host said this, and glanced around and said, "If anyone has any questions, please raise them as soon as possible."
Hearing this, many people raised their hands.
However, after someone raised his hand, he seemed to think of something and put it down.
At this time, Cheng Xuyuan continued, "Do you think that I can't meet your requirements by only answering five questions?"
"But there is nothing we can do about it. After all, our time is limited."
At this point, Cheng Xuyuan continued: "Of course, if you have any questions you want me to answer, it's not like I don't have other options."
"Our exchange group will be at Hong Kong University of Science and Technology today and tomorrow, so if you have any questions, you can also participate in our exchange activities."
"When the time comes, we can discuss it together there."
It is really worthwhile to participate in the exchange activities and be able to communicate with Cheng Xuyuan.
For a moment, everyone who was preparing to ask questions unconsciously focused on the communication that Cheng Xuyuan mentioned.
After all, face-to-face communication research is much better than asking questions.
I must participate in this exchange activity.
At one point, someone even said loudly, "Xiao Ding, I'll go sign up right now, but I hope to be able to communicate with you."
"I also hope to discuss the problem with you." Cheng Xuyuan said with a smile.
As this person started talking, more and more people expressed their desire to participate in this exchange meeting.
Looking at the scene of registrations coming one after another, Shen Tulong came to Shen Yunliang and said, "Director Shen, we need to prepare well for our next exchange."
"Otherwise, we might be in a mess."
Shen Yunliang's heart was originally filled with joy. After all, this difficulty that had been bothering him for some time was solved just like that. This was really a happy thing.
But at this moment, as soon as Cheng Xuyuan opened his mouth, so many people came, and it really took some effort to make some arrangements.
But this is a happy trouble.
"Then you should take care of yourself, Tulong. If you need anything, just tell me. As long as I can do it, I will definitely do it for you."
Hearing this, Shen Tulong felt helpless, but he had no choice but to agree.
Who made this his job.
Shen Yunliang's mind was all on Cheng Xuyuan at this time. He felt that the benefits Cheng Xuyuan could bring were not just in this communication.
Just at this moment, another round of applause rang out quickly.
The second update is here (end of this chapter)
