Idol (short story) Zhang Baotong 2016.12.9

If Yali only admired Wang Xiaodong's works in the past, then since talking to Wang Xiaodong on the phone, she has not only admired Wang Xiaodong, but has a kind of inexplicable reverence. As a result www.biquge.info she began to collect all of Wang Xiaodong's published works and conduct careful and meticulous research on each work. She has read many personal introductions about Wang Xiaodong, but these introductions are relatively general, nothing more than how he embarked on the road of literature through hard work, and which works have been published in which journals, and that's it. It seems that there is no information about how he worked hard and wrote, what hardships and setbacks he encountered, whether he was distressed and depressed, and in fact these contents are what readers want to know and know the most. So she looked for these answers in his work and in the characters in his work.

Some people may think that knowing these things doesn't really do anything for her writing and creation, but that's not the case. Through her in-depth understanding of the author, she not only deepened her reverence for the author, but also gave her a deeper understanding of the hardships and sufferings on the road of life, and strengthened her belief in taking the road of literature.

Originally, she had always wanted to contact Wang Xiaodong so that she could get closer to him and establish contact, because she knew that if a literary young man wanted to embark on the road of literature, he not only needed to devote himself to writing, but also had someone to guide him. However, she has not been able to write satisfactory works, so she has not contacted Wang Xiaodong.

However, a few months later, Wang Xiaodong called her, saying that his new work "Weibei Woman" was published and was preparing to compete for the China Mao Dun Literature Award, and the Provincial Writers Association was preparing to hold a "Weibei Woman" seminar at the Lishan Hotel, and wanted to ask her to make a discussion speech, and the speech would be published in the eleventh issue of "Qin Yun".

The Mao Dun Literary Award is the most important literary award in China, and it is selected every four years, and the entries are novels with more than 130,000 words. Since 2011, thanks to the sponsorship of Mr. Li Ka-shing, the prize money of the Mao Dun Literary Award has been increased from 50,000 yuan to 500,000 yuan, making it the highest literary award in China. Of course, Yali hopes that Wang Xiaodong will win the award, and if he wins the award, he will not only become the editor-in-chief of "Qin Yun" magazine, but also may become the chairman of the Provincial Writers Association. At that time, she will follow suit.

In order to write this speech, Yali asked the company for a week of sick leave, and rushed to write it day and night. She started with the author's first essays and short stories, traced his recent novels "The West Bank of the Yellow River" and "New Home in the City", and finally settled on "Weibei Women". Because she usually has an in-depth reading and understanding of Wang Xiaodong's works, she is very handy and familiar with writing, and it only took three days to write the manuscript and send it to Wang Xiaodong by email. After reading it, Wang Xiaodong said that the writing was good, and asked her to compress the manuscript from 5,000 words to 3,000 words.

That afternoon, Yali felt that the scenery was infinite, and the seminar was attended by the most famous writers, literary critics and celebrities in the province, as well as famous writers and literary critics invited from Beijing. It was an honor to be with these celebrities in their own right, and Yali also made a keynote speech at the conference. At that time, Yali counted, except for the speeches of the leaders, there were only six people who made special speeches, and they were all famous writers and literary critics in the country and the province, and she was the only amateur author with no name and no surname.

However, Yali was the youngest, most beautiful and most dazzling girl in the entire venue. Yali took a closer look at everyone in the venue, both men and women. Their works are all well written, but their appearance is not flattering, either old-fashioned or unattractive, either the forehead is bowed or the face is full of wrinkles, none of which makes people feel that they can be justified. Only Wang Xiaodong looks younger and handsome. He was dressed in a crisp suit, his hair was not messy, and he exuded the charm and demeanor of a middle-aged scholar. He told about the hardships and feelings in the creation process of "Weibei Woman", and couldn't help but choke up and stop when he was excited, giving people a kind of spiritual inspiration and vibration, deeply feeling the powerful power of literature in influencing people's lives, and also left a very deep impression on Yali. In contrast, although she has also experienced hardships and hardships in writing, there is a huge gap between her and Wang Xiaodong.

After the meeting, Wang Xiaodong sent off the guests and came over to shake hands with Yali. When he shook hands with Yali, he held her hand for a long time, and his eyes stayed on her face and body. However, Yali has also made careful preparations for today's meeting, she is young and beautiful, and her temperament is elegant, but today she deliberately applied a little light red powder on her cheeks, smeared some lipstick on her lips, and sprinkled a little of that slightly fragrant perfume on her hair. Although the weather in October was already a little cool in Xi'an, Yali was wearing a very thin long-sleeved pure white cardigan and a purple and blue floating skirt. A purple silk scarf was tied around his neck. Two long white legs are exposed, and a pair of pure white high-heeled leather shoes are worn on the feet. And Yali herself is tall, and she always makes her head high, which not only makes her posture calm and steady, but also makes her temperament more beautiful and elegant. In particular, her slightly smiling face, delicate, beautiful and full of warmth, makes people feel so charming and lovely. Therefore, at this time, Yali does not seem to be engaged in literature at all, but more like a car model or a clothing model.

Of course, Yali knows what it means to be held and looked at by a man for so long, and she likes to be held and admired by the people she admires for so long. She looked at him with reverence, even adoration. Because in her eyes and heart, he was her idol.

Editor-in-chief Wang asked her, "Are you a member of the Provincial Writers Association?"

Yali said, "Not yet, I heard that it is still difficult to join the Provincial Writers' Association. Of course, she knew that if she wanted to be a writer, she had to join the Writers' Guild. Joining the Writers' Association is equivalent to entering the circle of literary creation. However, she heard that it was not easy to join the Provincial Writers' Association, at least two short stories or one novella should be published in provincial literary journals. But she only published a very short poem in a provincial literary journal.

Editor-in-chief Wang said, "It's not difficult. Otherwise, when you come to my office, I'll give you a form and you can fill it out. ”

Joining the Provincial Writers' Association is a dream for a literary young man like Yali, so it didn't take long for Yali to call Editor-in-Chief Wang, but Editor-in-Chief Wang said that he was in Beijing and was busy with the award. As soon as Yali heard this, she was inconvenient to disturb.

That afternoon, the computer had a problem, it crashed, and it couldn't be opened. Yali is rushing to write a novel, and she wants to wait for Wang Xiaodong to get the form to join the Provincial Writers' Association as soon as she returns from Beijing, and by the way, let him read the novel and propose revisions. However, as soon as there was a problem with the computer, she couldn't do anything, and she was really anxious. So, she hurriedly called her boyfriend and asked him to come over and help her fix it.

Her boyfriend's name is Liu Zhiyong, a child of a cadre family in the city, a master's degree graduate from the civil engineering department of a prestigious university, and an executive in a large real estate company in the city. The monthly salary is nearly 10,000 yuan. Yali is beautiful because she is beautiful, and she loves literature, so she has high requirements for her boyfriend, and after careful selection, she picked this talented, one, and presentable, and can be described as a handsome guy with well-dressed appearance.

As soon as her boyfriend got off work, he drove over and hurriedly repaired her computer. Yali was cooking while watching her boyfriend fix the computer. Because it was a crash, it couldn't be opened, so my boyfriend opened the computer case, checked the entire computer, and finally said that the computer fan was too dusty, which affected the boot, and then, I cleaned up the dust in the fan and turned it back on. The computer was repaired like this.

However, when her boyfriend was sorting out the documents for her, he saw the big photo of Wang Xiaodong on the computer desktop, and even saw the folder that treasured all of Wang Xiaodong's pictures, and then said very unhappily, "It seems that this person is your real lover." ”

Yali immediately explained, "This is the famous writer Wang Xiaodong, who is my idol. ”

The boyfriend said, "You have also become a star chaser." ”

Yali said, "Chasing stars is a matter of young girls. I'm not as blindly enthusiastic as they are. I just revere him and want to use him to motivate myself. ”

The boyfriend said, "I think you are similar to those young girls, and you are also blindly enthusiastic." You see your house is full of his books, and I've read a few of his books, and I don't think they're very well written. ”

Wang Xiaodong is the person she admires the most, and it is unacceptable for her to belittle Wang Xiaodong than to belittle herself, so she said, "You know what you know all day long about looking at your mobile phone and playing on the computer? ”

After a simple meal, Yali took out her works published in "Qin Yun" and the remittance slip of 150 yuan to show her boyfriend. I wanted to get some praise from my boyfriend, but my boyfriend said, "You took a week off, and it took a lot of effort to earn 150 yuan, can you get it?" Or, you still come to our company, I told the boss that you can be a secretary in the company, and you will not be tired of work, and you can easily earn 3,000 yuan a month, how good!"

Hearing this, Yali was unhappy and said, "Even if I give me 30,000 yuan a month, I won't go, you open your mouth all day long and keep your mouth shut about money, vulgar and vulgar? It seems that people live for money, and they have no ideals and pursuits, and they are too tasteless." ”

My boyfriend said, "Isn't reality a money society? Isn't money the embodiment of the value of life?

Yali said, "I'd rather live a poor life of picking chrysanthemums under the east fence and looking at Nanshan leisurely, rather than working all day just for money, how boring." Look at Wang Xiaodong, although he has suffered a lot in the past, but now his books are also out, his fame is also out, and he has earned a lot of money. It's like you don't want anything but money. As he spoke, he picked up the book "Weibei Woman" with Wang Xiaodong's signature and handed it to her boyfriend and said, "This is Wang Xiaodong's work for the Mao Dun Literature Award, you can read it carefully, don't just look at your mobile phone and play with the computer all day long." ”

My boyfriend took the book and said embarrassedly, "How long will it take to read this thick book?"

Yali said, "If you don't look at your mobile phone and play less on your computer, you'll have time." ”

The boyfriend flipped through the book, but after reading a few pages, he threw the book on the cot and said, "What is written, I don't know what he is writing after reading it for a long time." ”

Yali was unhappy and said, "Don't make a mistake, this is the most proud and powerful novel by the famous writer Wang Xiaodong." It is very likely to win the Mao Dun Literature Award. You should be calm and attentive when you read books, and how can you read books if you are so impetuous and impetuous? Speaking of which, you are also a dignified graduate student, but you see that you are not at all motivated except for looking at your mobile phone and playing on the computer, and you are simply like an uneducated youth in society. ”

The boyfriend didn't care about her words, but put his arm around her waist and pleaded, "Let's stop talking about these damn nasty books, I want to kiss you for a while, I've been thinking about you for two weeks." ”

Yes, her boyfriend called her almost every day, texted her, and said that he missed her very much and wanted to see her, but she always said that she was very busy, reading and writing, and now that she saw that her boyfriend had to make love to her, she couldn't refuse anymore, so she said, "Okay, but I'll only give you twenty minutes." Because I still have to write. ”

The boyfriend frowned and said, "That's not good, I hope you've been waiting for you for two weeks, and you only gave me twenty minutes, it's not fair." ”

Yali said, "How long do you want to go?"

The boyfriend said, "I'm not coming back tonight, we'll stay all night." Anyway, tomorrow is Sunday, no work. ”

Yali said resolutely, "That's not good, I'm going to write all day tomorrow, and I can't be affected tonight." ”

The boyfriend thought about it for a while, and then said, "Then I will sleep with you, and it will not affect your writing." ”

Yali still shook her head and said, "No, what will the landlord and neighbors think of me when they see you spending the night with me?"

The boyfriend said, "Whatever they think, what does this have to do with them?"

"Of course it matters, because if I want to stay here, I can't let people poke me in the back." Seeing that her boyfriend looked very lost and depressed, Yali kissed her boyfriend and gently persuaded, "Obedient, when we get married, I will accompany you every night." ”

The boyfriend had no choice but to leave in a huff. (To be continued.) )
