Chapter 785 Official Literature
"What kind of book do you say you want to write?"
Zhou Kang asked in the phone, completely unaware of how Zhang Chu had such a surprising idea.
"I want to write about the officialdom, but the theme is not how the protagonist becomes the throne-dominated official after his own efforts and struggles. Instead, he wants to write about the anti-corruption wave under the trend of this era. This should be the main theme, right?"
On the highway to the airport, Zhang Chu called his agent Zhou Kang to discuss the matter.
For this book, he planned to write and publish it, rather than wait until the full text was written before handing it over to the publisher for distribution.
In this way, the beginning may be able to be drawn before the Spring Festival.
Otherwise, you will have to wait several months before you can release a new book!
During the days when he didn't write a book, Zhang Chu felt that his hands were itchy.
Zhou Kang is really tired. If Zhang Chu said that he could understand some romance, science fiction, fantasy, horror and even martial arts, he would have to write about officialdom!
This is a type that tests experience.
It doesn't mean that it's enough to have rich imagination, nor does it mean that it's superb writing.
If you have no understanding of the officialdom, then what you write will only add to the joke!
It is difficult for outsiders to understand the real officialdom. What they write may look good, but it looks ridiculous in the circle and many basic common sense will be mistaken.
For example, the popular "Female Secretary of the Vice Provincial Government" on the market now is known as the name of an outsider.
Because the country has strict regulations, officials are not allowed to be appointed to secretary of the opposite sex, and the person who wrote that book obviously does not understand this common sense.
But the title of the book satisfies the curiosity of many readers, so it is very good in sales!
The officialdom is unfathomable, and Zhou Kang is completely unfavorable to him.
Zhang Chu is not an unfamous writer, he is now a popular person in the country.
Readers, book reviewers may tolerate a newcomer of 60 points, and their requirements for Zhang Chu are at least 80 points.
If an ordinary writer writes books and officialdom, it doesn’t matter if there is any mistake.
But if Zhang Chu has many flaws in his officialdom, it would be a complete disaster!
"Do you know what senior cadres are? Do you know the division of administrative levels? Do you know how officials talk? Do you know what they need to do in their work and life?"
Zhou Kang continued to persuade: "Generally speaking, the officialdom is written by those who are mixed in it, so that it will be more authentic and credible."
Zhang Chu also knew his shortcomings in this regard. This is not a knowledge that can be supplemented by watching a few episodes of the news broadcast.
His only advantage now is that he can have references to the original work.
"I don't know if I can go to study, I can go and ask. Uncle Zhou, please help me ask about those things, see if I can go to the prison for an interview, and ask the true thoughts of those senior officials who have been dismissed."
The anti-corruption efforts are very strong now. There have been so many high-ranking officials and vice-national-level big tigers. Perhaps it is time for the next dose of strong medicine!
Zhou Kang was shocked by Zhang Chu's idea.
Although this is a bit fantasy, it sounds reasonable to write about interviewing former leading cadres.
What's more twists and turns than the personal experiences of these people?
What is more true and credible than the difference in their own thoughts of corruption?
From life, we must be superior to life and make the real situation artistic without leaving any trace.
When talking to those officials who have been dismissed, you can understand what an official should look like, how he will speak and live from his words and behaviors.
As a writer, it is wrong to not write unfamiliar things.
Zhang Chu should focus on real and authentic things, rather than bringing the characters of the original work or the characters in the prison intact like taking landscape photos!
The writer is unintentional, perhaps the reader is intentional.
It is possible that things that are randomly described in it may be that in reality, there may be a struggle between discipline inspection agencies and corrupt officials.
In the officialdom, it is especially necessary to work hard on dealing with interpersonal relationships, which will be a huge challenge.
If you can write down all the sentient beings in the officialdom well, then writing the rest of your works is a piece of cake!
Of course, what the officialdom fears most is to get the seat.
It doesn’t matter if you write a passerby, at most you have a fight.
If you write a senior provincial and ministerial official to take a seat, it will be a big trouble!
The higher you become an official, the deeper you are.
The same is true for writing this kind of thing. The higher the level of writing, the deeper the practice you need.
It is not easy to write the officialdom well. You must criticize, remind, reveal the problems, let the society realize the seriousness of the officialdom problems, and realize the country's determination to advocate integrity, integrity and anti-corruption!
It is very difficult for both the elite and the masses to appreciate each other. Now Zhang Chu can only pursue the vulgarity first. If you are elegant, just let it go.
After Zhou Kang hung up the phone, he became worried, and Zhang Chu spoke lightly.
It is not easy to go to prison to interview those high-ranking officials who have been dismissed!
This is not as good as a prison visit or something. At least a qualification review is required. These officials have more or less confidentiality.
"Damn it, which department do I have to apply for it?"
Agents just have to do these troublesome things, otherwise what would Zhang Chu do with so much money?
Zhou Kang walked out of his office, and he came to the door of the general manager's office and knocked on the door, intending to discuss the matter with others.
Ye Shumei was checking the peripheral production and promotion plan of "The Rabbit". After hearing the knock on the door, she replied: "Please come in."
"Mr. Ye, I just received a call from my boss. Guess what kind of fantastic ideas do our boss have?"
"I can't guess this. Their geniuses have completely different ideas from others. Lao Zhou, please just say it directly, I can accept it."
Zhou Kang spread his hands: "He was stimulated from somewhere. He just attended the Golden Globe Awards ceremony yesterday. Today he called and said he wanted to write a new book!"
Ye Shumei pursed her lips and smiled, "It's a good thing. He is willing to write a new book, so our company can do projects."
"The problem is that he wants to write a book on officialdom, and the theme is anti-corruption. Judging from his appearance, he seems not satisfied with ordinary cases and wants to write to the highest level."
At this time, Ye Shumei was stunned. She thought Zhang Chu's works were like romance or Danmei's homosexuality, but she never expected to jump directly into the officialdom!
"If you don't have enough knowledge and life experience, is it really okay to write about officialdom?"
Zhou Kang shook his head, "I can't persuade him now, so I can only help to contact the prison and see what procedures are needed."
Fortunately, Zhang Chu is a little famous person now, so there seems to be no problem in collecting materials for writing!
