The next hour and a half later, Wang Bo used his unauthentic Trump to dig and explain in depth and chatter on three topics he had made ingenious words. His language was humorous and witty, his attitude was free and unrestrained, and he often made self-deprecating or boasting. He was not as serious as ordinary speakers, or assertive as a tone, but he was like the host of some talk show programs in later generations.

His speeches with some tricks, self-deprecating and boasting, and various mixed styles of speeches, students have never seen them now. They all feel novel, down-to-earth, speak human language, and then they can't help but respond with thunderous applause.

Amid the enthusiastic applause of the students who competed once, Wang Bo's initial tension gradually disappeared, becoming more free and relaxed.

"...I have a different view of classics. Are the Four Books and Five Classics classics? Surely, but anyone here has read them. Please raise your hand if you have read them? OK, no one has raised his hand. You and I have never read any Four Books and Five Classics. One is that we cannot understand them, the other is that we think it is not good to read, and the third is that we feel that it is out of the times and it is useless to read them. Therefore, in the end, there is only one name left but no one reads it. What is the meaning of such a classic for those who have not read it and those who are unwilling to read it?

"So, students who have read the novels of "Dream of the Red Chamber", "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", "Journey to the West", and "Water Margin" raised their hands? Wow, almost everyone has read it, and I have read it all, even if I haven't read the book, I have watched TV series. Why do I read it? Because it's good and interesting, you can get happiness and fun from the process of reading. "Journey to the West" and "Water Margin" are called the four great classics in China, and have a very high status. But that was praised by later generations, and the hats added were completely inequality in the eyes of scholars at that time. They are all books that are not well-educated and have no cultural interest. The elites disdained them.

"You have also seen the final result. There are fewer and fewer people reading the so-called classics, but things that cater to the public's tastes are becoming more and more popular and cannot be stopped. Then they gradually become classics. Now I will put a book of Jin Yong's novels and a book of traditional literature in front of everyone. Which book would you like to read first? Which instinct can make you finish it in one go and read it all day and night? I don't think I need to prove it.

"So, my point of view is that genre novels, including the authors of genre novels, are completely underestimated in China, and are looked down upon by the traditional literary circles and the high-ranking Writers Association. I think this is unfair and unreasonable. In the near future, with the advancement of technology and the increase in people's access to books, this injustice will inevitably be turned over by readers with their own actions and the money in their pockets to justify the name of genre novels.

...As the Internet becomes more and more popular, I predict that writing and publishing novels will become a simple and easy thing in less than five years. Everyone can be a novelist and publish their own works on the Internet. The content of novels will also be diversified and imaginary. Fantasy, martial arts, fairy tales, urban, history, military and other genres will flourish and usher in their true spring. The functions of novels will not reflect reality, expose darkness, or criticize society like traditional literature - this, our party does not allow it very much - but will become like TV series, movies and games, becoming a choice for people to relax and entertain. Their goal is only one, that is, how to make readers look more substitutable, more refreshing, and more convenient for them to daydream, and help them realize some dreams, ideals, and ambitions that can never be realized in the cold real society...

"...The difficulty of reading and the differentiation of contents are always suitable for you. The number of people reading novels will expand unprecedentedly, from tens of millions to billions. At that time, everyone can be a novelist, and everyone is a reader. And because the audience grows and the number of readers increases, the income of the famous novelists will also increase. The annual salary of 100,000, millions, or even tens of millions is not a dream. They will have countless fans and admirers like stars, responding to their calls, and even willing to spend a lot of money on their favorite authors...

"...Traditional literature is difficult, and requires strong literary talent. It is countless times more difficult than taking Peking University or Tsinghua University. It may not be possible to produce one for ten thousand people. But writing fast food literature that focuses on pleasure is different. The threshold for creation is extremely low, so anyone can try it.

"Everyone, you are professional students in literature. You will read a lot of classic works from ancient and modern times, both in China and abroad, and will lay a good literary foundation for you. All you lack is experience and skills in creating type of literature. How to obtain skills and experience? It's very simple. Go to a bookstore and rent a few fast food novels you are interested in and you will know what's going on. This is how I got my experience in writing science fiction novels.

"So, everyone, if anyone among you wants to make a fortune by showing off his writing, or even become famous in one fell swoop, I suggest you might as well consider that the difficulty of creation is lower. With the advancement of technology, the audience will become wider and far beyond traditional literature. What I just said about an annual salary of one million and ten million will definitely be considered a fantasy. Of course, it is a fantasy now, but seven or eight years later, it will not be too late for everyone to evaluate my statement today. And I myself will also invest in a literary website this year, which will provide a platform for people who love literature and creation to create and publish their own works..."

At half past eight, Wang Bo's speech ended in his thunderous palm. According to convention, the next half hour will be the time for students to ask questions.

"Hello, Teacher Wang, my name is Liu Mengmeng. I am a sophomore in the Chinese department and a fan. Thank you for your wonderful speech, which has benefited me a lot and made me realize it. Because I usually like to read romance novels, but I used to read them secretly, and I felt a little shameful, as if I was inferior. At the same time, I was afraid that my parents and teachers would say that I was not doing my job properly after discovering it. Now after listening to your speech, I feel that my waist is getting taller. I read 300 Tang poems, and I can't write poems and recite them. After reading a lot of romance novels, I also have the urge to write books, but I have always been unable to find a way to publish, and I am not very confident about whether my works can be published. What I want to ask is, can I really support myself by writing genre novels, such as romance? I don't want to get rich, I just want to support myself." The first question to Wang Bo was a round-faced girl with glasses.

"Hello, Liu Mengmeng, I can support myself, but it won't be done in the past two years. It will take two years to wait until the market environment is better. Be careful, the possibility is possible, provided that what you write can withstand the test of readers. However, when the author is the same as any line, you should become famous as soon as possible. The sooner the sooner the money is made, for example (laugh). Now is the stage of the initiation of genre novels. If you join in now, you will become a veteran once you become famous. In the future, the literary website I invest in will set up a 'girl channel' for female authors to enter and publish the works that girls like. You are welcome to contribute at that time, Liu Mengmeng."

"Hello, Teacher Wang, I am a freshman in the Chinese Department, named Wan Huan, and I am also your fan. My question is..."

“…”

Wang Bo answered questions from NPC students one by one. These questions were basically concentrated on the topic of his speech today. Some of them had nothing to do with this, but they were not tricky, which made Wang Bo answer very easily until a guy with a stingy look on his face:

"Hello, Teacher Wang, I heard that you came to Renmin University today to visit your friend. May I ask, is that your girlfriend?" As soon as this guy's question was mentioned, the auditorium was stunned at first, and then it was a sensation. Many people even cheered and started to talk.

Damn, let me get into a trap? Could it be that the bullshit Chairman Fu's instruction? As soon as the other party's question was mentioned, Wang Bo immediately smelled a sinister smell.

If Jiang Xiaorou is his girlfriend, if he answers yes, then it will undoubtedly confirm that Jiang Xiaorou is his girlfriend; if he answers no, he denies it in full view of everyone, which will undoubtedly hurt Jiang Xiaorou's heart, and he will think that he is not responsible, lie in public, and dare not bear it.

If Jiang Xiaorou is not his girlfriend, but is interested in him, if he denies it and dares not admit it, it will hurt Jiang Xiaorou's heart; and if he admits it generously, uh, single celebrities are usually the most popular. Once a celebrity has a master of famous flowers/grass, most of them will lose their price, and the other party will also achieve his goal of indignation.

"Sorry, this is my privacy and it is not convenient to be made public. I will answer three more questions, but please ask the students below to focus the questions on today's speech topic." Wang Bo did not say yes or no, and directly rejected the legitimacy of the other party's questions.

After nine o'clock, Wang Bo's speech ended successfully with deafening applause. But the matter was not over yet. After his speech, he was surrounded by a group of college students for autographs. Wang Bo was not willing to refuse this request, and he bought his book and contributed RMB to him. So, when he signed all the twenty or thirty students around him and walked out of the Academy of Literature with Jiang Xiaorou, it was already past ten o'clock in the evening.
