55. Prepare to write a book
The piece of paper finally passed to Cai Xiaojia's hand, and her eyes suddenly brightened: "Wow, squad leader, you are so good, you even write poems so well." If you compete like this, you will definitely be able to make it to the finals and win the place!"
Jiang Shuiyuan stretched out his hand to get back his graffiti: "It's just a joke, in fact, I haven't thought about what to write and how to write it." Maybe if I really want to write it, I'll write something about the difficult competition of Chinese studies, right?"
Jiang Shuiyuan meant to write a book about the content of the Chinese Studies Competition, but Wu Zichen understood that it was to write an essay about the Difficult Competition of Chinese Studies to participate in the essay competition, "Boss, I think that writing an article not only requires your own penmanship to be meticulous and detailed, but also you have to ponder the psychology of the judges." What is a 'new concept essay'? On the surface, all essays that deviate from the conventional and unconventional path can be called new concepts, but in fact they are not. Because in the eyes of the judges who think they are half writers and half educators, only the essays that young people can write but cannot appear in assignments and examination papers are new concept essays that meet the standards, and they have any hope of being shortlisted for the award!
"If you carefully analyze the previous award-winning works, you can find that seven or eight out of ten of them express the troubles of youth, growing pains, and rebellion against the world. No matter how pretentious, disease-free, and cynical the article is, the judges value the ignorance and youthfulness. To use an inappropriate analogy, it's like eating stinky tofu, and it's the pickled energy that smells stinky and fragrant. If it doesn't have that smell, what is the difference between it and eating it normally?
"So, boss, if you want to win a new concept essay contest, you must follow the rules of the game and write your youth stories, such as "Written on the Tail of a Teenager", "The Girl at the Next Table", and "Freshman Career". With your language skills, physiognomy and temperament, coupled with lingering and sympathetic campus feelings, you may be packaged by the magazine as a "head of the new generation of youth literature" and a "beautiful young writer"! As for the difficult competition of Chinese studies, it feels like a nerd, a girl with glasses, clichés, and a lack of antiquity. It's a piece of cake, do you think my brother is right?"
Cai Xiaojia nodded frequently: "That's right, squad leader, I also think you should consider the aesthetic taste of the judges and the reading feelings of the readers, and you can't just try to be happy." Isn't it just to work hard to write an article to participate in the competition just to gain the approval of the judges and readers? If no one wants to read the article when it is written, what is the difference between writing it and not writing it?"
"I'll seriously consider your suggestions," Jiang Shuiyuan always felt that they urged him to write about the youth genre in order to satisfy their curiosity and desire to snoop, "but before that, shouldn't you return the manuscript paper to me first?"
"Don't be so stingy! people are still waiting for you to exchange your manuscript for pocket money after you become famous and have a family. Don't you even give people this opportunity to make a fortune?" Cai Xiaojia pouted and muttered in a low voice.
Cutting off people's wealth is equivalent to killing their parents and destroying their children, this sin is great, Jiang Shuiyuan had no choice but to compromise, "Okay, since you are willing to take it, then take it! If you still have a piece of waste paper after thirty years, don't regret it when the time comes!"
Cai Xiaojia got permission and immediately smiled: "I won't regret it! Squad leader, you are so powerful, you will definitely become a famous big man in the future! The manuscript will also become a priceless treasure!"
Wu Zichen sighed: "Mistakes, mistakes, a little carelessness actually let a piece of cake take the lead, this is a rare poetry manuscript of the boss! Do you know, now any page of Sun Yuanqi's manuscript is worth more than 500,000 yuan, and if it is a manuscript of a representative work, the price will be doubled." The "Science" magazine, which published the most papers of Sun Yuanqi that year, made a lot of money for this alone. - Of course, they will not sell, this is the best embodiment of the historical heritage of the magazine, and it is a real hard currency in the international market. Therefore, it is necessary to become famous as soon as possible, and it is even more important to collect celebrity manuscripts as soon as possible! It's a piece of cake, or you give the page to your brother, and my brother invites you to go to Sun's private room to have a meal. How?"
Wei Chumo was a little apprehensive on the side: "Please! If you want to invite Cai Xiaojia to dinner, just say it, why bother beating around the bush so much?"
Wu Zichen looked disdainful: "People say 'long hair, short knowledge', but I didn't expect Xiao Weizi that you have short hair and even shorter knowledge! Piece of cake, what do you think of my brother's proposal? If you are not satisfied, we can discuss it again!"
Cai Xiaojia carefully folded the waste paper and sandwiched it in her diary, and then put it in her schoolbag, and then replied with a smile: "I don't have to discuss, I want to find the squad leader by myself! This is something I finally got from the squad leader, and I'm waiting to make a fortune from it in the future!"
Wu Zichen looked at Jiang Shuiyuan pitifully: "Boss, I want it too-"
"Then you just want to!" Jiang Shuiyuan did not pretend to be colorful.
Seeing Wu Zichen turn around and lie on the table and lick his wounds silently, Cai Xiaojia asked in a low voice: "Class leader, I heard that in addition to participating in the Olympiad Club training and the Chinese Studies Difficult Competition, you also have to represent the school in the singing competition of the whole house. If your essay is shortlisted, you will have to go to Shanghai to participate in the finals. Are you busy?"
"Are you alright?"
Jiang Shuiyuan also felt that he had a lot of things at hand, but it was not yet time to move away. As for the fact that the article was shortlisted for the Meng Cup and went to Shanghai to participate in the finals, the eight characters have not been skimmed yet, and it is not worth thinking about it at all now. Who knows what they have written in the end? Who knows what the judges tasted this year? Although the ancients had a saying that "if people have no foresight, they must have near-term worries," there was also the negative teaching material that "people worry about the sky without reason, and mediocre people disturb themselves." So he didn't bother to bother himself.
Cai Xiaojia pinched the corners of her clothes back and forth, and then asked for a long time: "Squad leader, do you really plan to write an article about the difficult competition of Chinese culture?"
"Can't you?" Jiang Shuiyuan deliberately teased Cai Xiaojia.
"But of course you can, but as Wu Zichen said just now, it should be difficult to be brilliant, right? - Of course, the words you write, squad leader, will definitely be ingenious and find another way. I didn't expect Cai Xiaojia to be so concerned about Jiang Shuiyuan's participation in the Meng Cup Essay Contest, not only cheering, but also actively making suggestions.
The speaker has no intention, but the listener has the intention.
After listening to Mr. Han's teachings, Jiang Shuiyuan planned to write a book "A Concise History of Chinese Philosophy", so that he could smooth out the development of Chinese philosophy in the past 3,000 years, and also have a general understanding of the famous philosophers and noun theories in history. He even had the idea of writing "Outline of the History of Metaphysics of the Wei and Jin Dynasties" or "Manuscript of the History of Science of the Song and Yuan Dynasties" to call out Han Xianru. But when I actually put pen to paper, I found that writing a book is not as simple as I imagined, especially because my knowledge reserve is not enough, and I don't have a coherent theoretical system in my heart, and I have nowhere to start in the face of a lot of information and a stomach full of questions!
Cai Xiaojia's fragmented thoughts made Jiang Shuiyuan have a flash of inspiration: yes, why don't you try to write the stories that happened in the difficult competition of Chinese culture and the interesting anecdotes behind the scenes?
In order to prepare for the annual Sinology Debate Competition, the seniors of the Kodansha have gone to great lengths to collect almost all the books on the market that can be seen on the market. As far as Jiang Shui can see, most of them are books that introduce debating skills, such as "Selected Classics of Chinese Studies", "Training and Practical Skills for Difficult Chinese Studies", and "Ten Golden Rules for Difficult Chinese Studies", as well as a small number of books that explain the rules of the competition, but there is no book that can tell the development process of Chinese Studies for more than 40 years from a historical perspective, as well as the wonderful stories that happened around the competition!
If you write a book about the development and evolution of the competition, analyze the ins and outs of the topic, comment on the advantages and disadvantages of the debaters, summarize the joint skills of the debate, and gossip in front of and behind the scenes, can you take the opportunity to clarify your current confusion, hone your debate level, and by the way achieve the purpose of exercising your pen power and thinking?
Thinking of this, Jiang Shuiyuan nodded slightly:
"It's a good idea to write about what happened in the Chinese Studies Contest and what happened behind the scenes?"
