"I did write this sentence." Lu Xun asked, "What's wrong?"

"Nothing, I just want to ask what this sentence means."

"What do you mean?" Lu Xun lowered his head and pondered, "Let me think about it."

"Well, didn't you write it yourself? Why do you still think about it?" Fang Ze was a little confused.

"Writers who have accumulated a lot of creative experience will definitely not elaborate on each sentence when writing. Most of the time they just feel it and write it down."

"So these two trees were also written down because they felt it?"

"Absolutely. Don't you think it works well in the article?" Lu Xun smoked a cigarette and said slowly, "If you insist on saying this sentence, how do you feel? I have to think about it before I can tell you."

After listening to Lu Xun's words, Fang Ze took out his tablet and searched for two more famous articles interpreting Lu Xun's words. One said that this sentence represented Lu Xun's loneliness at that time, and the other said that Lu Xun's words represented the feelings towards Lu Xun. A critique of an unchanging society. Fang Ze copied both articles into the notebook on his mobile phone, and then showed them to Lu Xun, "Look, these two interpreters do not conform to the ideas you want to express."

"Let me take a look." Lu Xun took the tablet, read it carefully, and then praised, "The interpretation is good."

"I just want to know if these two interpretation symbols are not in line with your original intention at that time?"

“Just like an athlete doesn’t think about whether he takes his left foot or his right foot first when running, and when he dribbles the ball in front of the goal and kicks the ball, he doesn’t think carefully about whether he kicks to the left or right, writers will also think about whether they kick to the left or right first. Instinctively write some sentences. As for the meaning of these sentences, it is not important what the writer himself thinks, what is important is what the readers see from them. Shakespeare may not have had a thousand thoughts in his mind when he wrote Hamlet , but different readers see different ideas. This is the so-called Hamlet in the eyes of a thousand people, so it doesn’t matter what kind of Hamlet in Shakespeare’s own mind.”

"That's true." Fang Ze nodded in agreement.

Literature is actually very interactive. The more classic literature, the more so. For example, Journey to the West, in the eyes of religious people, is about praising Buddha and suppressing Taoism. In the eyes of ordinary people, it is a story about escorting the master and eradicating evil spirits. In the eyes of people with a rebellious spirit, it is a story about confrontation. The story of power, in the eyes of conspiracy theorists, is another story involving a power struggle.

As for how the author of Journey to the West views this story, that is no longer important. Maybe he just wrote it casually.

"Fang Ze." As soon as Fang Ze and Lu Xun finished discussing literary matters, Lin Jingxuan walked into the bedroom, "Do you know any friends who study design? I want to change the logo of the studio."

"Why did you suddenly remember to change the logo?" Fang Ze looked at Lin Jingxuan in confusion and asked, "Whether the game is selling well or not has nothing to do with the studio's logo."

"That's it." Lin Jingxuan said, "The investor said he would come over tomorrow. The previous logo of my studio was just a random emoticon. It was not very formal. I was afraid that the investors would see it and think our studio would be wrong. I just wanted to play for fun, so I wanted to design a better logo.”

"Let me take a look at your previous logs."

"No." Lin Jingxuan handed over his mobile phone and showed Fang Ze the logo of their studio.

Forehead.

This damn thing is really an emoticon.

Fang Ze looked at the logo of Jingxuan Game Studio on the screen of his mobile phone and almost laughed out loud.

Even if you use an emoticon as your logo, at least choose a positive emoticon. The emoticon chosen by Lin Jingxuan turned out to be a salted fish following a person. The salted fish also said, "Please let me play with you." '

"If I were an investor, I would probably die laughing when I saw your logo."

"So don't I just want to change the logo?" Lin Jingxuan rolled his eyes at Fang Ze, who was having fun there, and then said to him, "Do you have any designers you know, please introduce me to one."

"Yes." Fang Ze pointed at Lu Xun and said, "This is it."

"Isn't Uncle Zhou a Chinese teacher?" Lin Jingxuan thought Fang Ze was teasing him.

"Uncle Zhou is not Lu Xun, bah, isn't Uncle Zhou a fan of Lu Xun? So he has learned everything Lu Xun knows, and his level is not low."

"Then even Lu Xun can't design logs." Lin Jingxuan still didn't understand what Fang Ze wanted to say.

"Who said Lu Xun couldn't design a logo?" Fang Ze looked at Lin Jingxuan and said, "The Peking University logo designed by him is still used by Peking University."

"The logo of Peking University was designed by Lu Xun?" Lin Jingxuan also heard about this for the first time.

In fact, Lu Xun is indeed a serious designer. Needless to say, the icons he designed are the most famous one is the logo of Peking University. In addition, the covers Lu Xun designed for his books are more popular on the Internet. It is recognized as a design that transcends the times, and it still looks timeless and full of beauty today.

"In addition to the logo of Peking University, the first national emblem of the Republic of China was also designed by Lu Xun." Fang Ze explained to Lin Jingxuan, "The national emblem designed by Lu Xun was printed on the back of the coins at that time."

"I asked why there is a Lu Xun Academy of Fine Arts in Liaoning. Lu Xun was also a designer." Lin Jingxuan touched his head, then looked at Lu Xun and asked, "Uncle Zhou, can you help me design it?" The studio’s logo, investors will come tomorrow.”

"That's not a problem." Lu Xun nodded and agreed.

"Thank you, Uncle Zhou." Lin Jingxuan said happily, "I will tell you the design fee when the logo is designed tomorrow, and we will pay according to the market price."

"I don't have any use for the money anymore." Lu Xun said to Lin Jingxuan, "Just treat me to a meal tonight."

"Thank you very much, Uncle Zhou!"

The design of icons and logos cannot be completed in a short time. Many times, we need to rely on inspiration. So in the afternoon, after Fang Ze finished translating galgame’s neon text, he introduced some of the more classic logo and icon designs to Lu Xun.

"This sign is good. If my guess is correct, it should be a sign related to railways." Lu Xun pointed at an I-shaped sign on the computer that looked like a worker and said.

"That's right, this is the logo of the former Ministry of Railways and now the Railway Corporation." Fang Ze replied, "This was designed after the founding of the People's Republic of China. The designer was a Liaoning native who had studied abroad and was rewarded at the time. I bought 800 kilograms of millet. Later, some people tried to change this logo to something else countless times, but failed. It is difficult to find another logo in the world that can not only represent the national characteristics, but also be highly recognizable. icon."
