Li Xiang first set foot in the literary circle, there are few people he knows, his connections are pitiful, but his fame is not small, anyone who has seen or not seen him can recognize him, and he should be one of the most famous people in the literary circle.

The reason why the guests at the scene didn't recognize Li Xiang at the first time was mainly because they didn't care, he was too young, his dress and temperament were different from others, and he was incompatible with the mainstream atmosphere in this circle.

Shengjing is the cultural center of China, the great writer Hidden Dragon Crouching Tiger, the people who can be invited to participate in today's tea party are extraordinary, those unconventional idol writers, maybe they can be sought after by fans, and their popularity even exceeds that of those present, but these people will definitely not be recognized by the mainstream literary circle, and it is impossible for them to be invited to participate in today's tea party.

Although today's tea party is a casual gathering, the more such a gathering, the clearer it is that people who are not truly recognized will not be able to receive invitations.

Li Xiangneng was invited, on the one hand, he was given the bonus of the "Times Literature" Newcomer Award, and on the other hand, he was recommended by Bai Su.

Bai Su is the winner of the highest literary award in China - Zijin Literature Award, his status is not ordinary, which is not affected by his living environment, of course, people who have seen his living environment - the garbage house will agree that he is not ordinary, after all, that kind of environment is not ordinary people can live, but people who can live and live for many years are definitely not ordinary people, and it is said that the masters seem to be light and fluttering, which is not enough to fully reflect his ability.

Bai Su hadn't come yet, and Li Xiang didn't need his introduction anymore, so he chatted with the people present. Everyone maintained a strong curiosity about him, asking questions about things and things, asking this and that. Although they are also public figures, they are far less prominent than singers, and generally people who write books are more introverted, and in terms of personality, introverts are mostly introverts, not good at appearing in front of the camera, and even, speaking in public will be unnatural and quite restricted. They are both evasive and curious about the lives of public figures, and it is rare to meet one today, of course, to ask a little more.

This surprised the follow-up people to see such a scene - a group of middle-aged and elderly people chatting warmly around a tall young man, and they were curious to ask who this was.

Which Li Xiang?

As soon as they looked at it again, some people recognized that this was really Li Xiang, who had been very popular recently, and those who didn't recognize it only had to inquire a little to know that this was Li Xiang, who had just won the "Times Literature" Newcomer Award.

Moreover, Li Xiang's latest "I Am a Cat" has been serialized in "Times Literature", and the first part of the 30,000 words has been published, which has caused a huge response.

Among the people at the scene, why could Yang Kun, an old man, recognize Li Xiang? Although he looked at the seat card, his tone showed that he had known Li Xiang as the number one person before.

There is a reason for this, Yang Kun has paid special attention to Li Xiang before. Because his identity is a writer, if he is subdivided from the literary genre, he will be roughly divided into the broad category of fairy tales and fables.

He has written a lot of fairy tales, and the protagonists of this kind of books are different from other genres, which are mostly based on humans, while the protagonists of fairy tale books are strange, cats, dogs, wolves, lions, tigers, flies, mosquitoes...... It's not surprising that anything is the main character.

If you really want to be careful, the protagonists that Yang Kun wrote can form a large-scale zoo, with all three armies: land, sea and air.

Although he wrote books with cats as the protagonist earlier than Li Xiang, the genre of fairy tale books limited his cats and dogs to not cause much repercussions, and of course, the children's amazement was enough to make him happy.

At first, he thought that Li Xiang's "I Am a Cat" was also a fairy tale theme like his, and it was strange, how could a hardcore person like "Love Life" write a fairy tale, and could he write a fairy tale? Don't look at the simple plot of a fairy tale book, the language is naïve and cute, this is a big coincidence, to achieve this level, it is impossible to do it without long-lasting experience in controlling words.

However, when the latest issue of "Times Literature" was released, he read the first 30,000 words of "I Am a Cat", and immediately knew that he had guessed wrong, this was not a fairy tale, this was a serious orthodox literature, and it seemed to have a high intention, but now it is only 30,000 words, and he can't see too much.

At the end of the year, "I Am a Cat" set off a wave of discussion in Chinese literary circles, with people discussing this particular book, its protagonist, the kitten whose life is like a string, and the moral behind it.

In the opening part, Feng Jixin wrote a preface to the book, talking about the artistic heights reached in the book and the allusion to social reality, indicating that the book is by no means blindly taking the novel route. Although the cat is a gimmick, it is deliberately set up to highlight the theme of the book.

The preface written by Feng Jixin in Nengran itself illustrates the connotation of this book.

This is a traditional serious book, but its influence exceeded the scope of serious literature at the first time, because Li Xiang is a star with his own system, so the book quickly spread inside and outside the fandom, whether you have read this book or not, how much you have heard of it.

I am a cat, very attractive to young people, read the first 30,000 words, and there is no overly heavy atmosphere of traditional literature, every time I read a paragraph, I always consciously push people to continue to look down, and follow this little cat to experience a different experience.

Of course, for Li Xiang's fans, even if Li Xiang writes Aboci's Buddha song, they can also watch it with relish.

……

Bai Su hurriedly came to find Li Xiang as soon as possible, and when he saw that Li Xiang was already quite familiar with many people without his introduction, he finally put his mind at ease, took a deep breath, and sat down in his place with a smile.

He got drunk in the wine house last night, which caused him to oversleep this morning, and he wanted to introduce Li Xiang half an hour early, but he was almost late.

But it seems that Li Xiang doesn't need his introduction, which makes him very happy. He always treats Li Xiang as an 18-year-old young man, and often ignores his other identity. As a singer, he is a public figure, and his communication skills are undoubted, and these people know how to deal with people very well, and they are better at playing to their strengths to make people like them.

And Li Xiang, as a famous singer, should be a leader in this regard. The people who stand out from the draft are enough to prove their unique charm.

"Okay, it's still time for Lao Li to arrive, he has tracheitis, he was only discharged from the hospital yesterday, he should still be unable to move, let's wait for him while chatting." The years are like water, a year has passed, and the last tea party seems to be just yesterday, for an old man like me, a year is one year less, but today I feel very good spirits, because young people have come, and the average age of us here has been lowered by more than ten years. Deng Poxi, the chairman of the Shengjing Writers Association, began to speak.

This is an old man with white hair, as he himself said, he is in a very good spirit today, although he is old, but his face is ruddy.

As soon as his words fell, a relaxed laugh rang out in the venue, and many eyes looked at Li Xiang, who was sitting not far from the door, and the youngest person here was him.

Deng Po Xiao also looked at Li Xiang with a smile, then shifted his gaze and said to everyone: "Today is a tea party, let's talk casually, what to say, before chatting, I will introduce to you the newcomer who came today, the soup master." ”

A middle-aged man stood up and waved to everyone. This is also the first time to participate in the tea party writer, unlike Li Xiang, he has a silent personality, and has been sitting in his seat silently since entering the venue, and occasionally someone accosting him.

Deng Po Xiao didn't introduce much, and everyone almost knew his masterpiece as soon as they heard the name of the soup master. He then introduced Li Xiang, and Li Xiang also got up to greet everyone.

As soon as he sat down, Yang Kun, who was sitting next to Deng Poxiao, couldn't wait to ask, "When will your copy of "I Am a Cat" be printed and released?"

"I Am a Cat" is now published in Times Literature, a semi-monthly magazine that only publishes once a month. The number of words in "I Am a Cat" is 310,000 words, and the first issue is limited to 30,000 words, which is already the largest number of words that can be accommodated.

After reading the 30,000 words in the early stage, Yang Kun felt like a cat's claw scratching, always thinking about the plot that might appear later, and he couldn't wait to get the whole book and read it in one go, so he almost went directly to Feng Jixin to save the manuscript.

In view of this situation, Li Xiang's "I Am a Cat" will be printed and distributed at the same time as the publication of "Times Literature", and the publishing house is found with the help of "Times Literature" magazine. At present, the progress has reached the process of typesetting and proofreading, and the fine proofreading version was sent to Li Xiang, please confirm it for the end. If there are no accidents, "I Am a Cat" will be officially released during the Lantern Festival.

When Yang Kun's words fell, laughter immediately rang out at the scene, and someone quipped: "Teacher Yang can't help it anymore? You can ask someone Xiao Li for a manuscript, or you can find Teacher Feng." ”

At the same time, many people echoed Yang Kun's words, and everyone also read the latest issue of "Times Literature" and the beginning of "I Am a Cat", and their hearts were itching. For those of them, the most annoying thing is serialization, which is simply annoying!

Bai Su, who was sitting on Yang Kun's right hand, took a sip of tea from the teacup, sighed slightly, put down the teacup, pushed his shoulder, and said, "I've read the whole book." ”

Yang Kun: "......"
