Chapter 710: Fans: Are you sure I'm reading the same *Journey to the West* as Mr. Ye Xuan?
Ye Xuan picked up the microphone and habitually looked at the audience. The audience who were lucky enough to make eye contact with him were already dancing with excitement.
Pausing for a moment, Ye Xuan responded very seriously:
"It's super love. I can say that this work is a literary work that can be watched repeatedly and whose details can be carefully pondered. For me, it is my favorite top-tier work."
Learning that this fantasy novel was actually Ye Xuan's favorite, Zhu Qing didn't show any expression on her face, just maintaining a proper smile and continuing with the next process.
"Then, the second question: May I ask Mr. Ye Xuan, did you really get the inspiration in a dream?"
This question could be said to be very sharp. If he was not careful, he would be caught by those with ulterior motives who would find plots that didn't match the work, thereby pinning the high hat of plagiarism on him.
However, these were completely nothing to fear in Ye Xuan's eyes. After all, he had a system in hand; he was someone who feared no one.
Revealing a slight smile, Ye Xuan explained leisurely:
"Writing such a fantasy novel, I did indeed get the inspiration in a dream at first. In the process of writing it later, it was naturally polished and modified by myself, which is why we have the *Journey to the West* presented to everyone's eyes now."
Zhu Qing nodded gently, expressing agreement, and continued to ask with a smile:
"Then the last question: May I ask Mr. Ye Xuan, which character in *Journey to the West* do you like the most?"
Ye Xuan spread his hands, sat on the stage, placed his gaze on the audience, and asked, feigning weakness:
"I want to ask the audience friends at the scene: after you have read *Journey to the West*, who is your favorite character?"
The audience at the scene was also cooperative, and the voices rose and fell. In short, every one of the five master and disciples was mentioned.
"Tang Seng."
"Like Sun Wukong."
"Like Zhu Wuneng."
"I like the Bai Longma the most."
"I think Sha Seng is better."
Listening to the five master and disciples in the book all being liked by someone, Ye Xuan hooked the corners of his mouth.
Turning his head, he looked at the host with satisfaction and said gently:
"Writing the work *Journey to the West* is like my child. As a parent, I love every character deeply and don't want to be biased."
Zhu Qing echoed with a smile in her eyes:
"So, Mr. Ye Xuan means that you like all five master and disciples, is that right?"
Ye Xuan had an 'you understand me' look, nodded heavily, and confessed to his book characters very straightforwardly:
"Yes, I like all five master and disciples."
"I like Tang Seng's firm goal as a mortal, not being tempted."
"I also like Sun Wukong's freedom of heart, and yet being able to diligently and responsibly escort Tang Seng to the Western Heaven because of the responsibility of the Tight-Fillet Spell."
"I like Zhu Bajie's naked greed. He likes beauty, likes food, and likes to slack off, yet he is more like a real side of human nature."
"I like Sha Seng's forbearance even more, and his rational treatment after every incident. He is a person who outputs stable emotions. If I were to choose a friend, I would like such a person very much."
"As for the Bai Longma, although he doesn't have many opportunities to perform, he is performing all the time. After all, the 108,000-mile journey to fetch the scriptures was all relied on him dragging the master forward all the way. The willpower in this is very commendable."
After listening to Ye Xuan's analysis, Zhu Qing suddenly had a feeling of 'better to read ten years of books'. She looked at Ye Xuan with joy and complimented him repeatedly:
"Mr. Ye Xuan, you are truly too talented. I can't even think of what words to use to describe you. Thank you for bringing us such a profound and meaningful work. After it is printed and published, I will definitely buy a copy to collect and take it out to warn myself at all times."
"What you just said is really too good."
Ye Xuan waved his hand, not taking her compliments to heart, but slowly stood up, extended his hand, and said bluntly:
"I am very happy with today's program. I hope we can cooperate again next time."
Looking down at the time on his wrist, Zhu Qing regretted that the program time was nearing its end. She looked at him with full regret, extended her hand to shake his politely, and praised him sincerely:
"Mr. Ye Xuan, hearing you say this today, I am truly full of curiosity about your new book *Journey to the West*. The first thing I will do after the program is to carefully read this masterpiece. I congratulate Mr. Ye Xuan in advance for the great sales of the new book."
Withdrawing his hand, Ye Xuan responded seriously:
"Thank you for your wishes. See you again then."
Zhu Qing also stood close to Ye Xuan, read the final closing words of the program, and the three of them left the stage together.
Not only were the audience at the scene reluctant to leave, but even the fans sitting in front of the TV were sitting in front of the screen for a long time, reluctant to leave.
Because the fans inside and outside the screen were all surprisingly pondering Ye Xuan's character analysis just now at this moment.
Most of them thought this was a fantasy novel written by Ye Xuan. Although the writing skills inside were quite good, some of the warning quotes inside were also worth pondering carefully.
But really, no fans had started to ponder the five main characters in the book. Upon first hearing Ye Xuan's words of liking, some netizens and fans even issued a soul-searching question:
"Is the *Journey to the West* I'm reading not the same one as Mr. Ye Xuan's?"
"Why can't I see the deep meaning Mr. Ye Xuan mentioned? Or is my level limited, and I really can't understand that deep level of things?"
"No, I have to brush *Journey to the West* again. I will definitely be able to ponder the profound meaning Mr. Ye Xuan wants to express. I cannot let down Mr. Ye Xuan's good intentions."
"Hard work pays off. I don't believe I'm that stupid. As long as I read it a few more times, or reach the point of reciting it backward, I will definitely be able to say something about it."
After Ye Xuan finished the TV program, he prepared to head straight for the back door to leave.
Of course, this time he learned to be smart and knew to do some disguise.
But just as he put on his peaked cap, General Director Yang Le hurriedly chased after him and asked with hesitation:
"Mr. Ye Xuan, regarding the casting of our *Journey to the West*, I'm afraid I can't pick actors who fit the roles very well on my own. Why don't you ask Mr. Ye Xuan to assist from the side and help keep an eye on things?"
Ye Xuan's pig farm was now scaled up. Even if he wasn't on-site for ten days or half a month, it wouldn't affect normal operation, so he agreed casually:
"Okay, I will stay in Yanjing for half a month. When the actors come to audition, just notify me. Nothing else, I'll head off first."
With Mr. Ye Xuan sitting in command, his eagle eyes would definitely be like Sun Wukong's fiery eyes, picking out the actors for the roles he had in mind.
Thinking this, he greeted him happily:
"Okay, then let's keep in touch at any time. Goodbye, Mr. Ye Xuan." ===== CHAPTER 713 =====
