Chapter 221: Out of the Clouds and Into the Mud
Zhuang Yan did not fool them, he did intend to release a new book next month, and his new book was indeed written before.
In addition to the four books he has now published, he has other dreams, namely "The Old Man and the Sea" and "The Waste Capital" and "The Little Prince".
Because of some special problems in the book "Waste Capital", Zhuang Yan did not think about releasing the book for the time being, and only considered it when there were no books to distribute in the future.
Between "The Old Man and the Sea" and "The Little Prince", Zhuang Yan chose to release "The Old Man and the Sea" first, and there was no big reason for it, but Zhuang Yan felt that it was time to release this book.
Of course, for "The Little Prince", Zhuang Yan's plan is to put it on the trumpet fairy tale manor. So even if it's ready to be released, it's impossible to say it on such an occasion.
Ma Yinchu and they were still surprised, Gu Hongming reacted first and asked, "When will your new work be released?"
He didn't ask what the new book was, whether it was a long story or a short story, but asked the release time first, which made Zhuang Yan a little surprised, and said with a smile: "It's not decided yet, I think I'll send it next month, but I still have to talk to the publisher about the specific things." ”
"Even the publishing house hasn't been decided yet?" Gu Hongming wondered.
Indeed, the publisher has not even been decided, nothing has been discussed, and it sounds too hasty to want to release the book next month.
Yu Hai next to him hurriedly said: "It's not undecided, the publishing house in our literary and art circles has always had a cooperative relationship with Zhuang Yan, Zhuang Yan can send books whenever he wants, and we are ready to send them at any time." ”
Whether the matter of publication can be decided after the literary and art publishing house has to talk about it specifically, but in front of everyone, Zhuang Yan will not say this, but said with a smile: "Thank you to Brother Yu for your help." ”
"Where's that? Yu Hai said.
"Zhuang Yan, what do you mean is that your new book has already come out before writing 'Border City'?" asked Lian Liwen.
Zhuang Yan nodded, "To be precise, before the release of "The Catcher in the Rye", the first draft of the new book had already taken shape. ”
"How's the length?" Liwen Lian seems to be concerned about the length of the book.
"It's a novella. ”
Lian Liwen sighed: "The novella is also very good, Tang Sheng is right, I really can't look at you with common sense, how did you grow your brain, inspiration just comes?"
Gu Hongming said with a smile: "Don't be envious, when you were as old as him, you probably were still holding bullets in the trenches." ”
Lian Liwen used to work from the grassroots when he was in the army, and he didn't do a lot of things to give people magazines, so Gu Hongming said this.
But Lian Liwen was proud of Gu Hongming's ridicule, "I have been a soldier for a few years, and I have seen life and death, and then when the world was too peaceful and I didn't want to hold a gun, I picked up the pen again, which can be regarded as useful in the end." It's not like you, you can lift a pen, but you may not be able to lift a knife. ”
Gu Hongming did not disagree at this time, but said: "I really admire you for this, you were sparse and ordinary back then, and later abandoned martial arts and literature, which is really admirable." ”
"Hey, with your two words, Gu Hongming, I will wake up with a smile when I go home to sleep. Lian Liwen smiled and asked Zhuang Yan again, "Can you reveal the theme of your new book?"
Zhuang Yan shook his head, "It's not that I don't want to say it, it's just that it's really a long story to talk about, if you are really interested, you can go to the website of the literary and art world after the book is released." ”
Tie Yan also said: "Yes, it's not too early now, there are still a few processes in the exchange meeting, we have to start it as soon as possible." ”
Originally, Zhuang Yan said a lot and forcibly extended the first process for more than half an hour, but now if you don't rush to catch up with the process, it is estimated that the exchange meeting will not end in the evening.
Lian Liwen and the others wanted to ask something, but when the business came, they had no choice but to follow Tie Yan's arrangement and return to the previous conference hall to be their "mascot".
As for Ma Yinchu, they are the first to get the moon near the water, and along the way from the restaurant to the conference hall, Ma Yinchu has been asking questions about Zhuang Yan's new book.
One will ask him how many words the new book is, and the other will ask him the subject of the new book, whether the protagonist is male or female, and where the background is.
Ma Yinchu was asking, and Wang Lijian was listening with his ears pricked up, and Liang Qichao was a little more subtle, but he also approached Zhuang Yan's side as if he were nothing.
There is also any lotus who follows Liang Qichao, hanging at the back of their team, but she has not fallen behind, what Ma Yin asked at the beginning was what she wanted to ask, so she couldn't wait to know Zhuang Yan's answer.
However, Zhuang Yan didn't want to satisfy them, and most of Ma Yinchu's questions were directly not answered, and only a few questions were avoided and lightly said. For example, Ma Yinchu asked him how many words his new book was, and Zhuang Yan just replied that it was a novella.
After asking for a long time, they were beaten by Zhuang Yan's set of Tai Chi, and Ma Yinchu didn't ask anything, but they were not discouraged.
After Ma Yinchu finished asking a round, Yu Hai came up again, and the question that Ma Yinchu asked just now, he just changed it slightly and asked it again.
But after changing the object, Zhuang Yan's performance remained the same, and he still couldn't get any news out of his mouth.
"Alas, it's really different, the master who won the Pu Songling Award doesn't care about us. I see, don't bother with you, I can't ask, don't you see, we have a class gap now. Ma Yinchu said in a weird way.
Yu Hai's eyes rolled and said, "Yuanshan, what you said is not right, I understand Ziyan, he is not like the kind of person who goes out of the clouds and into the mud." Besides, the Pu Songling Award is not a big deal, I remember that Yuan Shan, you won the China Outstanding Prose Award, and I didn't see any difference between you. ”
"Hey, my prize isn't as big as this one, and it can't be compared. Besides, it's normal for a young man to be crazy and ambitious. ”
The two of them sang and harmonized, and they wanted Zhuang Yan to not come off the stage, but Zhuang Yan had already realized Ma Yinchu's personality, so he didn't take it seriously at all, and walked as steadily as Mount Tai in front.
Wang Lijian said with a smile, "You two old bangzi, it's not a little bad at acting, I'll introduce a few friends from the opera academy to make up for you when I go back, so that you can study for a while." ”
Yu Hai was unconvinced, "It's easy for you to say, you should go up and perform, I want to see if you can perform a flower." ”
Ma Yinchu also said, "Just talk and don't practice mouth tricks, Lao Yu is right, you are on it." ”
Wang Lijian put his hands behind his back, raised his head and said: "What am I on, Ziyan told me about the new book last night, I know the specific situation, and I still want to ask?"
