Everyone has this kind of experience. We keep reminding ourselves of important things and find it difficult to forget them. However, some things that are not particularly important are sometimes suddenly ignored because there are too many other things in between that distract our attention.

Lu Qingfeng is now in this situation.

"When is the deadline for submissions to this exchange meeting?"

He asked Zhang Jingyi.

"At the end of this month."

There was still time, so he considered the things at hand and thought about it silently.

Because he already had a topic he wanted to write about, and the incident with the dormitory leader gave him inspiration, he also found this book in the knowledge base.

If I sleep a little later these days, I will definitely be able to code the first few chapters.

But when Lu Qingfeng took a look at the article he was writing on the document, he suddenly frowned.

He discovered a problem. The novel "The Fault in Our Stars" can be said to be a work of children's literature, and the original author Wendeline van Draanen is a children's writer.

It’s not impossible to produce two works of the same type at the same time.

It's just that he himself doesn't want to do it.

Moreover, this book may not suit the taste of college students.

He bent his fingers and tapped the table lightly.

The call for submissions from the Nine Schools Alliance is mainly aimed at college students, so it might be better to write a story that these people will like.

"Lao Zhang, what type of novel did you submit?"

Among the four people in the dormitory, he and Zhang Jingyi were not the best in academic performance, but the two who entered the school through the Literature Cup were definitely the best in writing.

The other two people just focus on participation.

"The kind with passionate youth, the protagonist is a basketball player and the heroine is the captain of the badminton team, what's wrong with that?"

Zhang Jingyi changed into his jersey and prepared to go out to play.

"Nothing. I was just thinking about what kind of story I should write."

Lu Qingfeng leaned back in the chair, supported himself with his feet, maintained his balance, and rocked the chair.

"Didn't you say you wanted to learn from Fei Ge and Senior's experience?"

Guo Hao poked his head out from the upper bunk.

"After thinking about it carefully, I don't think it's very suitable. Not many people in the university may like this story. Now that I have submitted it, I hope more people can see it."

Lu Qingfeng explained.

"The one I'm currently writing is of the same genre, and I don't want to create two books at the same time."

"You said this book was written specifically for that deaf-mute girl, right?"

Wu Yongfei looked at the text he had written on his computer, but didn't read it too much, just the first few paragraphs.

People seem to think that life gets better when someone dies. But I can tell you that's not the case at all.

At the beginning...

"Ah."

Lu Qingfeng nodded.

After returning to school, several people asked him about the book signing event, and he told the other three about it.

"Why don't you just write what you're good at? Science fiction, mystery, youth. Maintain your usual quality and I think everyone will like it."

Zhang Jingyi gave him some advice.

"I think you can also mix in some other elements. Science fiction can be integrated with empire and revenge. And mystery shouldn't always be set in the modern era. You can set it in ancient times, add martial arts, vendettas, etc. It will definitely be interesting."

Guo Hao also joined in.

Lu Qingfeng's eyes lit up.

"Mouse, you are truly a genius."

He adjusted his chair and started searching the Internet on his computer.

In this world, martial arts novels still have indelible highlights. Since their birth, they have experienced several peaks. The first wave was the romantic martial arts novels led by Zhang Henshui during the Republic of China period.

Then came the early days of the new era, when traditional storytelling, represented by Liu Lanfang and Shan Tianfang, appeared on radio and in radio dramas.

People born in the 1970s and 1980s will be more familiar with this. People born in the 1990s who grew up with their grandparents may also know a little about it. People born in the 2000s may not have experienced this.

But I have learned about it from some nostalgic retro self-media videos.

Then, a large number of martial arts novels emerged in Hong Kong and Taiwan, led by Jin Yong.

Even today, when online novels are all the rage, martial arts novels still have a place and are loved by many fans.

Fan fiction based on Jin Yong's martial arts novels is extremely popular.

Fei Tian shoots the white deer in the snow, and the laughing hero leans on the green mandarin duck.

In this world, the film and television dramas adapted from these classic works are still the childhood memories of a generation.

But one difference is that there are no ancient dragons in this world.

Instead, there was a writer that Lu Qingfeng had never heard of. Although his works were also classics, they were completely different.

Li Xunhuan, Ah Fei, Lu Xiaofeng, Ximen Chuixue, Ye Gucheng...

These classic characters are gone.

After checking the information, Lu Qingfeng had an idea in mind.

Moreover, this Nine Schools Alliance Literary Exchange Conference also covers three universities in Hong Kong. Nowadays, the martial arts novels there have weakened somewhat, but the foundation is still there.

To this day, there are still excellent martial arts novels appearing every year, but they are not as influential as before.

It is our responsibility to restore the reputation of martial arts!

……

The opening recording location of the third episode of "Sounds in the Ears" is the National Grand Theater, where there is a performance of "Silang Visits His Mother" today.

This is a classic Peking Opera piece, taken from the 41st chapter of "The Romance of the Yang Family Generals", which tells the story of Yang Silang preparing for duty, changing his name and marrying Princess Tiejing.

The conflict between Song and Liao broke out again, Lady She led the army in person, Yang Silang missed his mother and returned to the Song camp to reunite with her.

Among them, the classic plot, the princess steals the command arrow, is called a short film and I think many people are familiar with it through the Internet.

The program team brought the five-member group here not just to let them watch the show, of course. The theme of this episode is the national quintessence Peking Opera.

After enjoying a short opera, director Xu Yan brought a group of people to Lin'an and joined a folk drama troupe.

Lu Qingfeng found it particularly interesting. He was a rural child in his previous life and still remembered that during festivals, the temple at the entrance of the village would invite an opera troupe to perform.

There is also a lantern show, which is a folk culture with local characteristics.

Use bamboo strips to make the shape of a horse, cover it with paper, and then use paint to draw the eyes, mane, and saddle.

The front half of the body and the back half are separated. When dancing with lanterns, candles are lit in the front and back halves of the lantern, and then fixed around the performer's waist, making it look like a person riding a horse.

The performance usually starts at night in an open space. As gongs and drums are played, people perform dance-like movements with lanterns on the open space.

There were people everywhere, and children would run after the lanterns. When the performance was exciting, people would applaud and cheer.

Very lively.

The opera performances usually last for three consecutive days, with two shows each day, one in the morning and one in the evening.

Folk opera troupes don’t have so many requirements. The stage is built on the spot and the actors’ faces are painted outside.

At that time, what Lu Qingfeng was most interested in was watching the opera actors looking in the mirror and painting themselves with thick colors on their faces. He was very envious and wanted to paint himself too.

If you can also bring the big sword and red tassel spear props used in opera, it would be unparalleled.

Later, as I grew up, I gradually lost interest in these things.

Nowadays, I may not be able to listen to a play once a year.
