Yan Zhen shared his creative experience and experience from the aspects of literary concepts and the language art of novels. As far as literary concepts are concerned, he believes that first of all art is the gold standard of literature; second, it is necessary to transcend public space; it is also necessary to express the ideological nature of the work by transcending the concrete; and finally, only art can face history. Regarding the language art of novels, Yan Zhen focuses on four small points: "The meaning of dialogue lies in the expression of character characters", "rebellion against normative language", "subtext of saying here and meaning to the other", and "Metaphor makes things more vivid". He also used famous works such as "History", "Dream of the Red Chamber", "Siege of the City" and other famous works, as well as his own works "Because of Women" and other novels, to illustrate the key role of "golden sentences" in portraying characters and expressing personality.
Gong Shuguang brought a special lecture on "The Origin of Prose" to the rematch contestants. The lecture revolves around three aspects: stylistic awareness, theme selection and origin of prose writing. It is believed that prose is an important communication method for human beings, and it is also the first style to practice writing when entering literary creation. When creating prose, we should take materials from life and write the truth. The prose creation is likened to a line segment, and the place where the pen begins gives the author the motivation to complete it, and this point is the literary origin. Focusing on the origin of prose writing, we should base ourselves on characters, stories, emotions, temperaments, and ideas, grasp the ontology of art, use originality to increase the thickness of prose and aesthetic carrying capacity, and go back to our spiritual hometown.
Some students said that the two gentlemen's natural and fluent language, vivid and lively examples, and humorous and funny "golden sentences" deeply touched them, "which made me have a deeper understanding of the creation of novels and essays." ”
The final defense on the 9th can not only test the professional quality of the contestants, but also test their ability to adapt to the scene.
