Chapter 230 Collection of Essays(2/2)
, some writers may be finished, but it does not mean that literature will be finished, Shakespeare is finished, literature will not be finished.”
Once Shakespeare is finished, literature will not be finished.
This is very true, but it is also cruel enough. It is estimated that Shakespeare's fans will not be happy to hear this.
That's how Yu Hua is, always able to look at problems with a calm attitude. Jimmy learned this lesson today.
Just as they were talking about the publication of "Alive", Jimmy still had some things to discuss with Yu Hua, so the two of them went to Yu Hua's residence together.
After they left, Yu Dong looked at the notebook left by Yu Hua. Not to mention, when it came to the essays, he was really ready to start writing.
He told Jimmy that writing casually was as easy as eating and drinking, which was really not a boast, because for him, writing essays was just a pastime after dinner.
It is different from writing a novel. Even if it is a novel about stream of consciousness, the plot must be taken into consideration. But essays can really be just the simple flow of consciousness, the expression of emotions, and the most natural self-expression.

At the beginning of the new year, a new issue of "Contemporary" has also entered readers' horizons, and the second half of "To the West" has also come out.
The controversy over "Going West", which had gradually cooled down, once again appeared in the public eye with the new issue of "Contemporary".
The People's Literature Publishing House has already conducted some research on the market, so this issue of "Contemporary" was printed a lot more.
The editorial department has been quite busy recently. He Qizhi received good news a few days ago: Yu Dong's "The Second World" will be adapted by the great director Spielberg.
He didn't know much about this great director. After asking a few young colleagues, he found out that he was really a great director.
This information was provided by Yu Dong's agent, the foreign businessman Jimmy, and when he got this information, the domestic media did not know about it.
He Qizhi had always thought that it was not a good thing for a writer to find a businessman as an agent, but this time he felt the benefits of a writer's agent, at least when dealing with some business matters, it was very fast.
He Qizhi had never thought that his magazine could be connected with Hollywood, but now that he has encountered such an opportunity, he feels that it is quite good.
Not to mention anything else, it is unbelievable that a writer like Yu Dong, who has just appeared on the scene for two years, has such market appeal. He Qizhi can even imagine Yu Dong coming to Yanjing to do a book signing for "To the West" in a few months.
The lively scene at the meeting will most likely be even more lively than the day of the "White Deer Plain" signing.
