Volume 1 1998 Chapter 34 Good intentions

"You said that there are three problems that need to be solved to change the status quo, I understand the first problem, what are the other two?"

"The second issue is to change the mindset of parents. Li Yuan said: "Students have no source of income, so in fact, it is the parents of students who pay for books, and if they always hold the attitude that reading extracurricular books is not a proper job, then the youth book market should not be revived." ”

On the other end of the phone, Wu Ciren nodded subconsciously and asked, "What do you think should be done?"

"Adults are realistic, don't expect to convince them with feelings and dreams, only realistic interests can move them. If I were Mr. Wu, I would contact some key universities to fight for a few exceptional admission places for the winners, and I would catch carrots and not be afraid that the donkey would not be on the road. ”

Li Yuan's words scratched Wu Tseren's itch, giving birth to a sense of confidant. That's exactly what he planned, otherwise he wouldn't have bothered to contact major universities.

"It's a pity, how nice it would be if you were a high school student......"

Wu Tsering had some regrets. Regardless of whether Li Yuan has a master behind him or not, listening to his conversation will tell that his mind is mature, if he is two years older, he is the best candidate for the plan.

"The university also has junior classes. ”

Li Yuan kindly reminded: "A junior high school student who once became famous and was admitted to the university is not more eye-catching than a high school student who is admitted without examination?"

"Hmm......" Wu Ciren pondered for a moment, it was really like this.

"So your goal is to go to college without exams?"

"I didn't say that. Li Yuan said indifferently: "I will refuse anyway." ”

"Why refuse?"

"Privileges can be used, but they shouldn't be abused, at least not on trivial matters. ”

"Going to college is a big life event. ”

"I can be admitted with my own ability, not to mention, isn't it a bigger gimmick to do this?"

"There must be some other reason, right?"

"Nope. ”

Li Yuan was determined, thinking to himself, would I tell you that I still want to protect a girl for a few more years?

Wu Tsering didn't dwell too much on this issue, he laughed and said, "I'm glad I didn't miss your submission, and I'm looking forward to you joining us." ”

Wu Ciren bit "we" very hard, which not only represents acceptance, but also vaguely reminds Li Yuan that the new concept is not his word.

Wu Tsering continued: "I'll tell you the third question. To attract enough attention, you need to create an idol character, you need to attract the attention of the media and the public, am I right?"

"It should be added that this person 'just happened' to create a book. ”

"It seems that you really understand, then you should also know that there are pros and cons to doing this. ”

"If you're referring to the pressure of public opinion, then you can rest assured that my psychological quality is okay. ”

"Maybe it will have a big impact on your future life, are you really mentally prepared?"

"You just think I'm masochistic, I kind of like to dance in shackles. Li Yuan felt and said: "Ruan Lingyu said that people's words are terrifying, which shows the burden of fame, but from another point of view, it is not a good thing." ”

"How?"

"Maybe it's a bit arrogant, but I want to say that I am not destined to be ordinary in this life. Li Yuan chuckled, "You don't even have the courage to stand in the spotlight, so don't think about how high your achievements can be...... Recently, my mentality has been a little inflated - I won't talk about the specific reason, it's not a good thing for the soul to shrink in a dark corner, and it needs to be sunbathed so that it doesn't grow too distorted. ”

This is Li Yuan's sincere words.

In just two days, he came into contact with the world that he could not reach in his previous life, and obtained a stepping stone to the privileged class. It excites him and scares him even more. He didn't know if he would be blinded by privilege and become the most disgusting and unscrupulous kind of person in his previous life.

For this, he prefers to put a shackle on himself.

Wu Tsering was silent for a long time, and then said: "I need to convince others, I can't give you a positive answer, but there are some things that need to be prepared in advance. You put together a reading list for me as soon as possible, and I'll arrangeβ€”"

"No, you don't. ”

Li Yuan interrupted Wu Ciren and said, "I don't need to find someone to ghostwrite, I happened to be about to write a novel recently." ”

"It's a good thing that you have confidence, and it's not that I don't believe in your writing......" Wu Tsering tried to persuade Li Yuan.

"Flaws are true, and seamless means flawless. Li Yuan insisted, "The novels I wrote myself can at least withstand the doubts of the outside world." A lie is a lie, and a fake is a lie, and Mr. Wu should know this better than me. ”

Seeing that Li Yuan insisted again and again, Wu Ciren no longer persuaded him, and he didn't have this card in his hand.

"Is there time to come?"

"Just in time. Li Yuan said affirmatively, "At most, two months, before the resumption of the rematch, the draft will definitely be completed." ”

……

Li Yuan and Wu Ciren agreed to keep in touch at any time and hung up the phone.

Li Yuan turned around and said to Li Hongfei: "Teacher Li, it seems that I have to take a long vacation." ”

"It's decided?"

"It's decided. ”

"Don't you regret it?"

"I may regret it later, but now I want to try. ”

"Then do it. ”

Li Hongfei agreed very happily, which greatly surprised Li Yuan's expectations.

"Young people should dare to think, but also dare to do, I will not mention the matter of homework, you should know it in your heart. Li Hongfei said earnestly: "But you have to remember that no matter how far you can go in the future, you must do it right and go at the right end." ”

"I will. Li Yuan nodded heavily.

"I'm sure you can do it. ”

Li Hongfei smiled with satisfaction and asked curiously, "Have you thought about what to write?"

"I've thought about it. ”

"What subject?"

"Uh...... It's probably science fiction......"

"Sci-fi...... What about the specifics?"

"Let me sell the specific content first," Li Yuan smiled slyly and said, "I can only tell you the name of the novel......"

……

"Anxiety Relief Grocery Store", this is the name of the novel that Li Yuan intends to "write".

"Anxiety Relief Grocery Store" is a novel written by Japanese writer Keigo Higashino, which was serialized in a magazine in 2011 and published by Kadokawa Shoten the following year.

In my previous life, I read the rebirth text, and many of the book clips were quite taken for granted. You must know that it takes time for a novel to go from conception to writing, and the publication date can only be used as a reference, take J.K. Rowling, for example, Harry Potter's first work was released in 1997, but Rowling's creative idea dates back to 1989.

When Li Yuan and Wu Tsering were on the phone, they pondered this question, and finally chose Keigo Higashino as their target, also considering that a prolific writer like him would not spend ten years conceiving a novel.

Of course, Li Yuan's decision to "write" this book has nothing to do with the national plot, but has special considerations.

A brief introduction to the content of the book.

The book tells the story of a grocery store on a secluded street, where you can write down your worries and drop them into the front door of the store, and the next day you will be answered in the milk crate at the back of the store...... What's special about the novel is that the sender and receiver are at different points in time, and in the words of Keigo Higashino, it's a time-traveling novel, except that it's not the people who travel but the letters.

The story cleverly connects the fates of several generations with the help of letters that travel through time and space, embodies the concept of cause and effect in Eastern culture, and interprets the big proposition of life choices.

The plot of this book is not new, and it is similar to the American science fiction movie "Back to the Future" in the 80s, but in China at the end of the century, the word "crossing" is attractive enough.

……

Of course, it's not enough to just catch the eye.

As a reborn, Li Yuan knows very well what the virtues of today's literati are, and knows how to do what he likes-

It is necessary to carry out the pretense to the end.

Yes, even if it's a novel written for teenagers, if you don't play with profundity, you're going to make a mess.

Even under the banyan tree, the birthplace of online literature, "literary fan" is still indispensable, just concoct a paragraph -

"The room was filled with blues melancholy, like a sloping hourglass, more like a drizzle of rain outside the window, falling on the indifferent concrete jungle. He sat in front of the window decadently, staring at the unexpected and alienated raindrops on the glass, his eyes were full of sadness, and sadness was an uneven fold between his eyebrows, deep into the bone marrow, faintly painful......"

Understood, Wen Qing is not so easy to do.

How would this passage be written by the author of the online article in later generations?

Answer: I'm out of love, annoying, I can't go out when it rains, and I'm even more annoying.

……

As a veteran pretending to be a criminal, Li Yuan will not make common-sense mistakes and copy what Xiaobaiwen smashes the sky.

"The Grocery Store" was the most appropriate novel he could think of.

The literary value of this book is remarkable, although some people say that he is a chicken soup text, and I have to admit that the setting of time and space and the multi-line narrative technique are very desirable.

What's more, with the help of the "letter through time and space", he can hold private goods openly.

For example, soaring housing prices, such as SARS, such as the earthquake......

The Chinese pay attention to the poor to be good to themselves, and the good are to help the world, and Li Yuan believes that as long as he is reborn, he will not be indifferent to the disasters that will occur in the future.

The difference is nothing more than how to do it.

Li Yuan didn't want to wait until after the disaster to donate money and materials, after all, no matter how much money he had, he couldn't get back those living lives.

That's right, his real intention in writing this novel is to warn.

……

Li Yuan has read the original novel, watched the adapted movie, and even wrote many book reviews and film reviews on Douban, the writing may be a little lacking, but there is no problem with roughly copying it.

However, since it is necessary to mix private goods, it is necessary to make significant changes to the story, so it seems that it is not completely plagiarism.

"I don't know if it will be used as a god stick in the future......"

Li Yuan sat on the parallel bars on the edge of the playground, thinking about how to adapt.

First of all, of course, localization, the names of characters must be replaced with Chinese names.

There's not much to say about it, the only thing worth mentioning is the name of the owner.

The shopkeeper's name is Yuji Naniya, and Naniya's pronunciation is similar to sorrow in Japanese, and Li Yuan changed it to Xie You, pronounced Xie You, retaining the original author's wordplay and more appropriate title.

The second is the background of the times.

The original work consisted of five stories, spanning from 1978 to 2012, and Li Yuan hesitated to adjust it to 1988 to 2018. After all, he was just six years old in 1988, and he could barely be regarded as "sensible";

Finally, of course, it's time to add ingredients.

Science fiction that describes the near future has always been difficult to write, no one can accurately grasp the future, and the details that are carefully described often do not stand the test of time. For example, "2012", no matter how lively the media hype, until 2013, people will find that it is just a farce.

But this is not a problem for the reborn, and who else knows the details of the future better than the reborn?

Li Yuan took out a notepad and wrote on it such things as the South-to-North Water Diversion, West-to-East Gas Transmission, Smartphones, Subprime Mortgage Crisis, Smog, Bowing Heads, the Olympic Games, High-Speed Railway, and Online Games......

Of course, it is impossible to write all these things into the book, so you can only pick out some irrelevant things, Li Yuan wrote and sketched, thinking that if some of the content is passed out, I am afraid that it will be turned upside down.
