Chapter 556 Art!(2/3)
"So that's it."
Bai Xianyong has some regrets. With Lin Chaoyang's current influence in the international literary world, if he could write a work like that, it would definitely change the social situation of his group.
After lunch, Lin Chaoyang's visit to Wandao began.
The first stop is Zhongshan Girls’ High School. Zhongshan Girls’ High School is one of the earliest girls’ high schools established in the Bay Island and has trained many political and cultural celebrities.
The main reason why Lin Haiyin chose this as the first stop of Lin Chaoyang's visit was because of the word "Zhongshan".
Lin Chaoyang is not a political figure, and it would be too sensitive to go to places like the GF Memorial Hall. Sun Yat-sen Women's High School is a good fit.
At Zhongshan Girls' High School, Lin Chaoyang received a warm welcome from the high school students.
As the best girls' high school in the Bay Island, Zhongshan Girls' High School has strict management. The students are in their youth and there are many artistic girls.
Although Lin Chaoyang is not a star, he is now famous internationally. The most important thing is that the movies "The Truman Show" and "Parasite" adapted from his works have been screened in Bay Island and have achieved outstanding box office.
In the minds of many female high school students who have literary and artistic dreams, Lin Chaoyang's influence is no less influential than those stars.
In order to welcome Lin Chaoyang’s arrival, Sun Yat-sen Women’s High School also specially invited Qiong Yao, an outstanding alumnus of the school, to
A dialogue was held for Lin Chaoyang and Qiong Yao.
It's a pity that Lin Chaoyang and Qiong Yao, one writes pure literature and the other writes romance novels, couldn't talk about creation at all, so Lin Chaoyang had to change the topic and talk about something else.
At the end of the conversation, Qiong Yao suddenly became emotional and said, "San Mao had been on good terms with Mr. Lin for a long time during his lifetime.
I really wanted to meet Mr. Lin, but it was a fate. If she had left half a year later, or Mr. Lin had come half a year earlier.—"
Speaking of this, Qiong Yao's voice was choked with sobs and her face was filled with sadness.
Sanmao was hospitalized for surgery in January this year due to illness. He suddenly committed suicide two days after being admitted to the hospital, which was beyond everyone's expectations.
Qiong Yao and San Mao are good friends. She has transformed herself into a character in the book, and her sudden temperament is not surprising.
Lin Chaoyang sighed: "It's really a pity. I have to pay my respects when I come here this time."
The conversation between the two was exactly like the dialogue in a romance novel. The female high school students present could not bear this. Some of the emotional students burst into tears on the spot, conjuring up a poignant story of "Mountains and Flowing Waters".
The students were moved because of their imagination. Several reporters from the "United Daily News" and "China Times" who were present were excited because they smelled the headlines.
When Lin Chaoyang arrived at the airport at noon, the pick-up ceremony was grand.
By the afternoon event, there were far fewer people following, with only Lin Haiyin, two people from the pure literature publishing house, and media reporters.
Last year, the "United Daily News" tasted the benefits of reporting on Lin Chaoyang. This time they plan to follow Lin Chaoyang during his visit to Bay Island.
"China Times" and "United Daily News" have always been tit for tat, and the trend last year really made them envious, so they also sent people to follow Lin Chaoyang this time.
Lin Chaoyang is now an international writer, and Sanmao is also a well-known female writer in the Chinese world.
The year before last, Sanmao had been cheering for Lin Chaoyang to visit Wandao. However, when Lin Chaoyang came this year, she passed away.
This kind of drama and sense of fate is really full of drama. The reporters are well versed in journalism and know that in this situation, as long as they exaggerate the "friendship story" between the two people, they will definitely gain the tears and tears of countless readers.
focus on.
Thinking of this, these reporters couldn't suppress their inner excitement and looked at Qiong Yao with eyes full of gratitude for your cry, which made headlines!
He truly deserves to be the master of romance!
The relationship with Sanmao made Lin Chaoyang's image appear more tragic in the minds of female high school students for no apparent reason, and their admiration for him became even greater than before.
At the end of the visit, Lin Chaoyang left the school and returned to the hotel.
Sitting in the car back to the hotel, Lin Haiyin said jokingly: "I never thought, Chaoyang, you would have such influence among high school students!"
Lin Chaoyang smiled bitterly and said, "I didn't expect that either."
The next day, Lin Chaoyang visited National Chengchi University again, and the response from National Chengchi University students was still enthusiastic.
But unlike the fangirl-like following that they enjoyed at Sun Yat-Sen Girls' High School, college students love to give advice. Some students deliberately brought the topic to political topics in order to highlight themselves during exchanges, but Lin Chaoyang easily resolved these issues.
After the morning exchange, according to the arrangement, after lunch, Lin Chaoyang would go to Hsinchu City for exchange at Wandao Shuimu University.
Lunch was served on the National Chengchi University campus. During the meal, Lin Haiyin handed Lin Chaoyang two newspapers with a sweet smile.
"Look! You made the headlines."
The newspapers Lin Haiyin handed over were "United Daily News" and "China Times". Yesterday, Lin Chaoyang arrived at Bay Island. There were five or six media outlets at the airport. It is not surprising that there is news about him in the newspapers today.
What is strange is that both newspapers coincidentally put Lin Chaoyang's news on their headlines.
Logically speaking, news like Lin Chaoyang's visit to Taiwan must be far from the headlines.
But since the two newspapers did this, they naturally have their reasons.
Inspired by Qiong Yao, both newspapers highlighted the "friendship" between Lin Chaoyang and Sanmao. Coupled with Lin Chaoyang's arrival in Taiwan, it was just the same...
The helpless sense of fate is simply stronger than what the movie pictures show.
"This -" Lin Chaoyang looked helplessly at the newspaper.
Lin Haiyin asked: "What do you think?"
"The situation is almost the same, but it uses some spring and autumn brushwork."
"It's all just to attract attention."
After a small chat, we continued our journey after lunch.
During the first two days in Bay Island, Lin Chaoyang's itinerary was all about visiting universities.
On the third day, Lin Chaoyang visited Pure Literature Publishing House and communicated with the editors.
In the evening, Lin Haiyin held a special banquet for Lin Chaoyang at home, and invited many literary friends to come and celebrate.
Lin Haiyin was very old and had been accompanying Lin Chaoyang for three consecutive days. She was very tired, so she entrusted Bai Xianyong and Zhong Xian to accompany Lin Chaoyang for the next few days.
On the fourth day, the event was a book signing for readers. Everywhere Lin Chaoyang went was crowded with literary lovers. It was extremely popular and the scene was spectacular.
This terrifying popularity shocked both Bai Xianyong and Zhixian who were accompanying him at the scene.
The sensation caused by Lin Chaoyang could have been understood by the two of them in the 1970s.
After all, it was the golden age of Bay Island literature, and almost all students were literature lovers.
But things are different now. The peak period of Bay Island literature has long passed, and that generation of writers and literature lovers has gradually become silent.
In the 1990s, this kind of scene really gave people a dreamlike and unreal feeling.
Out of curiosity about this strange scene, the two even chatted a few words with the readers waiting in line.
The two discovered that these people had indeed read many of Lin Chaoyang's works and were considered loyal readers.
And their love for Lin Chaoyang goes beyond ordinary writers, not only because they love novels, but also because of the film adaptation.
One "The Truman Show" and the other "Parasite" were not only screened in Hong Kong, Bay Island and Southeast Asia, but also won international awards, were screened in many countries and formed considerable influence.
Readers feel honored when mentioning this incident.
After understanding the situation, Bai Xianyong and Hexian also felt that it was reasonable.
In 1989, Hou Hsiao-hsien swept Venice with his film "City of Sadness" and became a leading figure in the Bay Island film industry. Even the government, which originally suppressed Hou Hsiao-hsien, had to relax its restrictions on him.
Whether it is mainland movies, Bay Island movies or Hong Kong movies, they are never strong enough internationally.
It is not easy for a good film to attract the attention of the world. Whether it is readers of the original work or fans of the adapted film, it is normal to be proud of it.
The autograph session was very lively and there were still huge crowds of people until the afternoon.
Near the end, Lin Chaoyang was seriously signing autographs for readers. The female reader standing in front of him suddenly said to Lin Chaoyang in a tearful voice:
"Mr. Lin, the friendship between you and Sanmao is so touching!"
Lin Chaoyang was confused for a moment, and then realized that this person was probably led too deeply by the news in the newspaper.
In the past few days, Lin Chaoyang's trip to the Bay Island has attracted the attention of many people due to reports in the "United Daily News" and "China Times".
After that, several media outlets seemed to see that the "United Daily News" and "China Times" were hyping up Lin Chaoyang and Sanmao's friendship card and it was effective, so they quickly followed up and made some reports with added fuel and jealousy.
This "friendship" has become known to many people on the island, which has earned a lot of tears, and the sales of several newspapers have increased a lot.
Affected by the endless reports, Lin Chaoyang was often asked about this matter by enthusiastic readers when he participated in events.
Faced with this situation, Lin Chaoyang could not explain that he and Sanmao did not have as deep a relationship as the newspapers said, so he could only say "thank you" kindly.
Facing this reader today, Lin Chaoyang is still like this.
As a result, the female reader was not satisfied and asked: "When will you go hang out with Sanmao?"
Lin Chaoyang said kindly: "It should be tomorrow."
The last two days of the visit are Lin Chaoyang's personal itinerary. Not to mention that the entire media in the island is watching his every move, at least half of them are waiting for his actions.
This group of media has been exaggerating for most of the day, isn't this the time they have been waiting for!
Lin Chaoyang felt that there were no short videos now, otherwise the media would have dared to broadcast live when he was hanging.
"We readers will also accompany you!"
After hearing Lin Chaoyang's answer, the female reader was so satisfied that she held back her tears and ran away without looking back.
Lin Chaoyang's hand holding the book hung in the air, "Ah——"
