How did Zhang zhen die? Is Zhang zhen's death a rumor?

Zhang Zhen's storytelling set off a small climax in the development of China's horror literature. But its existence is still regarded as "not serious" by cultural circles. Zhang zhen believes that it is not necessarily a bad thing to arouse people's controversy. His motto is: "We are still alive, and we will be better." Does horror literature have the right to exist? The word "horror literature" was invented by the reporter himself. I say this because even the concept of "horror literature" that journalists are used to is refuted by Zeng Zhennan, a famous literary critic in China: "I know the concept of" humorous literature ",but I have never heard of it." It can be seen that the reference to "horror literature" seems even more inappropriate. At the same time, it also proves that such works have no position in the literary and art circles, especially in China. However, faced with so many "new" concepts, such as horror novels, horror stories, horror literature and horror movies (that is, horror audio-visual products), journalists have to collectively refer to them as "horror literature works". The embryonic form of literary works is a story, so let's start with the "horror story" told by Zhang zhen. From 65438 to 0993, Zhang zhen began to work in Liaoning Radio Station, and joined the local 99099 entertainment station after graduating from college. /kloc-0 released the program "Zhang Zhen Tells Stories" in March, 1997./kloc-0 released his first solo album "Zhang Zhen Tells Stories" in Liaoshen area at the end of 1998, which influenced the three northeastern provinces and Beijing-Shanghai area. On September 28th, 1998, the Life Entertainment Station of Liaoning Radio Station started broadcasting, and Zhang zhen hosted it at 20:00-2 1:00 Zhang zhen time every day. On July 5th, 1999, the station was revised again, and Zhang zhen time appeared at 15: 00 every day. At the same time, Zhang zhen storytelling company continued to operate. "The stories told by Zhang zhen, which I founded, include several kinds: humorous stories, emotional stories, horror stories and philosophical stories. Results According to readers' feedback, the market of horror stories is unmatched by the sum of other stories. From the second week, I kept humorous stories and horror stories. In the third week, I only do horror stories. " As Zhang zhen said, his plan did have a certain social and economic impact. "For me, its social effects are reflected in three aspects. First, what we do is a voice station with a listening index list. The other is a letter from readers, and then the feedback from people around me after listening to this program. As for the economic effect ... "Zhang zhen pointed to the reporter's" Zhang Zhen Telling Stories "and said," It is enough to explain that you can buy this pirated tape from Beijing. " Above, it can be said that China has set off a small climax of horror literature works of a certain scale in history. So this is because China's literary world has always attached great importance to popular literature. Speaking of China literature, Zeng Zhennan said: "There are some horrible plots and factors that make readers feel horrible in literary works, which are still common in the history of literature. Because this is also a very important aesthetic factor to attract readers. The key is to see how to use it in specific works, whether it is conducive to the deepening of the theme of the work and the shaping of the characters, rather than being scared for fear. " For example, he said, "For example, there is a work called Xi Fang Ping in Strange Tales from a Lonely Studio, which describes some terrible things that Xi Fang Ping experienced in hell in order to rehabilitate his grievances. His attempt to expose the darkness of feudal society and the cruelty of officialdom at that time had certain social significance. I think it is very successful to use terror as an aesthetic factor here. " When the reporter talked about naturalism in literature (the popular explanation is that life is like this, and how cruel it is), Zeng Zhennan said: "Of course, human beings should not be too fragile and should dare to face the most cruel life. However, as a literary work, it is still necessary to enhance people's confidence in life and have a good belief in life and humanity. Besides, Lu Xun also said that some things can never enter literary works, and there are all kinds of paintings, except those without excrement and caterpillars. Does not mean that the painting is good. " But as far as aesthetic factors are concerned, Zhang zhen also has his own opinion: "The process of my story creation is the process of my constant pondering over people's fears." Zhang zhen classified horror stories into several grades. The lowest level is to surprise you suddenly and give you sensory stimulation. After that, it's over The most advanced story is that the more you ponder, the more you get scared. As Zeng Zhennan said: "True humor and meaningful jokes are different from general gags, which are hard to say clearly in theory, but everyone can feel them from aesthetic practice." In order to achieve this effect, Zhang zhen thinks suspense reasoning is the best method. Even the advertisement he made for his program said, "Zhang zhen storytelling wins by suspense, so that you can be in it every minute."
