"One Day, Three Autumns" makes the humorous "birthday total" serious
Song Fangjin revealed that he embarked on the road of writing with Liu Zhenyun as his teacher, and even exposed a "fierce material" in the live broadcast room - "One Day and Three Autumns" printed several "preemptive trial books" before the official publication, Song Fangjin sent a circle of friends after receiving it, and the book attracted the attention of stand-up comedian and screenwriter Li Shi.
Li Tian said that Teacher Liu's preemptive trial reading book he also wanted to read. That day I posted a message in the circle of friends, I said this is a structuralist structure, and he left me a message below, asking what is structuralism? As soon as I saw this joke teller serious, I followed suit," Song Fangjin said.
Liu Zhenyun replied with a smile: "What is a joke?" The joke itself is serious and one step further. The discussion between the two of you has gone from joke to seriousness, and then from seriousness to joke. If the joke is just a joke, the content of the joke must not be high; just as the background of comedy must be tragedy, and the background of tragedy must be comedy. ”

Message to young readers: Take the right path, do not be distracted, and are not in a hurry
At the end of the event, the host Qingyin raised a question on behalf of many young readers: Life has involuntarily opened the double-speed mode with the times, how can it land smoothly?
Song Fangjin replied by quoting Liu Zhenyun's aphorisms. He said that one year on the plane, Lu Jinbo, a publisher who was in a critical period of his life, asked his peer Liu Zhenyun how he would go on the next road, and Liu Zhenyun put forward a nine-character proverb for him: "Take the right path, do not be bypassed, and are not in a hurry." Lu Jinbo obviously understood these nine words, so there was a later fruit and wheat market.
These nine words continued to resonate with readers in the comment area on the day of the live broadcast, and were constantly brushed up. "Take the right path, don't be sidelined, don't be in a hurry", this should be the best guidance for the times of double speed or even any era of life.
