566, double happiness is coming
The first day of classes in the new millennium was an unforgettable day for the teachers and students of No. 4 Middle School, and for Wang Bo himself, the "initiator", it was the day when he initially sounded the clarion call to enter the literary world.
As soon as the third class in the morning ended, Xiao Jinsong, the head teacher of the mathematics class, had not left, and the Chinese teacher Tang Suzhen was dragging a "Sprout" magazine in his hand, and hurriedly rushed to the door of the seventh class.
"Wang Bo, the list of the semi-finals of the 'New Concept Essay Contest' has come out, congratulations, you have been shortlisted. Your essay "On Revolution/Life" in the preliminary round was also selected and published in this month's "Sprout" magazine, look!" Tang Suzhen, who was in a hurry, rushed to Wang Bo's table at once, looking excited, excited, and his hands holding the magazine were a little trembling.
"What, Wang Bo has participated in the 'New Concept Essay Contest'?"
"You're still in the finals? When is it? Why don't I know?"
"Phew, Boss Bo wants to talk to you about the essay contest?"
"I didn't mean that! I mean, why didn't I hear anything beforehand?"
"Don't you know the character of Boss Bo? If you don't make a sound, you will be amazing! The National Day show, the New Year's Day party, including the publication of a novel in "Science Fiction World", and this time to participate in the "New Concept Essay Contest", which time is not quietly Mi/Mi (sneaky), quietly entering the village, don't shoot?"
"If you say that, it's also true! But Boss Bo is also amazing, right? His grades are so good, his music is so beautiful that he cries, and he writes articles so well that even nationally renowned magazines like "Science Fiction World" and "Sprout" have to publish his articles, God, I simply admire him so much! I feel that there is nothing in this world that he will not do! Genius! A genius that is rare in a hundred years, a rare genius in a thousand years!"
"You only know now, why else is it called Boss Bo?"
"No, while the news hasn't completely spread out yet, as soon as school is out later, hurry up and buy "Science Fiction World" and "Sprout", if it's a day or two late, I'm afraid it will soon be robbed by those fans of Boss Bo!"
"Head to head, you didn't remind me to forget. Let's go together! After buying it, we read Boss Bo's earth-shattering masterpiece together, and when I heard Liao Xiaoqing say, she cried directly and was moved miserably! I cried once I watched it!
Alas, Li Yang is so annoyed that she hasn't finished reading two articles in the morning, and she is gnawing word by word?"
"How can it be so fast? Boss Bo said that the two novels published in "Science Fiction World" are almost 40,000 words, and where can we finish reading them in a while! Let's buy a copy ourselves and enjoy it slowly!"
"That's all it takes! Alas, 40,000 words, how did Boss Bo write it? I have a terrible headache when I write an 800-word essay!"
"Genius!"
“……”
Tang Suzhen's words exploded like a grenade in the classroom of Class 7, blasting all the students of Class 7, together with Xiao Jinsong, the head teacher who was about to leave, stunned, and directly stunned on the spot. Soon, however, a flurry of chatter was like boiling water, bubbling up and down, bubbling everywhere.
Xiao Jinsong, who was about to leave on the podium, was not calm, and hurriedly walked towards Wang Bo's seat, and as soon as he walked closer, he heard Tang Suzhen asking Wang Bo: "Did you go to the mailbox today to get the letter, did you receive the notice of participation from the magazine "Sprouts"?"
"The class leader Wu Wei went to pick it up once, and there was no letter from me, Mr. Tang. Wang Bo said.
"Oh, that's not there yet. But soon, just in the next few days. Normally, before the winter break, a notice of participation in the semi-finals will definitely be sent to you. You will go to see it every day for the past two days, and the notice will give you the details of your participation in the semi-finals. Tang Suzhen said, still with excitement on her face.
"Well, I will, Mr. Tang. Wang Bo nodded gratefully at Tang Suzhen, if it wasn't for Tang Suzhen's timely reminder, he probably wouldn't have remembered the "New Concept Essay Contest". Even if I think about it later, I missed the time to participate, and if I participate again, it will be delayed for a year. And what he lacks most is time. It is necessary to become famous as soon as possible, the "New Concept Essay Contest" is the same as the later TV talent shows, and the only ones who can really become popular are two or three people from the previous sessions, such as Leng , Guo Jinmin, Zhang Yueran, etc. Is it because the level of the first prize winners in the back is lower than that of the first three? How is it possible? It's just that everyone likes the new and hates the old, and after the "New Concept Essay Contest" has been popular for two or three years, everyone is not very interested in it.
Xiao Jinsong saw that Tang Suzhen had finished explaining to Wang Bo, he was confused, and he didn't know the situation very clearly, so he had the opportunity to interject: "Teacher Tang, what is going on? New Concept Essay Contest? Wang Bo participated?"
Not only that, Wang Bo's article in the preliminary round was also selected to be published in this issue of "Sprout" magazine, "Mr. Xiao, this is this "Talking about Revolution/Life"! I have already read it, and the level is quite high! At least I, who is a Chinese teacher, can't write such a profound, spicy writing, and such a compelling talent! Tang Suzhen pointed to "Sprout" with a fluttering eyebrow An article on the table of contents page said to Xiao Jinsong, overflowing with joy, and said, "Teacher Xiao, as long as Wang Bo maintains the level of his preliminary round in the rematch -- no, even if he only has 80 percent of the skill of the essay "On Revolution/Life", the first prize will be won steadily! I don't know if you have read the first prize "Peeping in the Cup" that won the first prize in the cold last year? Although it is not bad, and the writing is also sharp, it is a bit dwarfed by Wang Bo's "On Revolution/Life" in your class, it is too pretentious, and too much to drop the book bag. ”
Tang Suzhen's evaluation of Wang Bo made him a little "sincere and afraid", and his heart was also a little confused, his plagiarized "Talking about Revolution/Life" is one of the three essays "Han San" published on his blog in 2012 that caused quite a sensation in the cultural and academic circles. Wang Bolian said that he was ashamed. He also said that he was able to make great progress in composition in the past year or two, at least half of which was due to Mr. Tang's credit, which was due to the other party's teaching according to his aptitude, good guidance, and good teaching...... In short, Tang Suzhen is well touted. Wang Bo's current level of writing has nothing to do with Tang Suzhen's dime, but everyone is a beautiful woman, people care about him so much, they care about him so much, he says two happy words, which can be regarded as a courtesy, a normal human relationship.
Xiao Jinsong didn't expect Tang Suzhen to have such a high evaluation of Wang Bo, and was taken aback: "Isn't it, Teacher Tang? Can he get such praise from you? Then I'll definitely read it later--Ah, Wang Bo, why is this signed 'Wang Zi'an'? Do you really plan to use it as a pen name?"
Wang Bo smiled awkwardly and said, "I'm just fooling around and making fun of it!" But I thought in my heart, this "Wang Zi'an" is a vest for me to break into the literary world, make trouble in the music world, and walk the rivers and lakes, which is used to hide the deity!
At this moment, Li Yang, who was sitting in the front row of Wang Bo, suddenly raised the "Science Fiction World" in his hand, and said to the two teachers standing beside him: "Teacher Xiao, Teacher Tang, you probably don't know, right? This issue of "Science Fiction World" has published two Wang Bo's science fiction novels, I am reading it, but I only read the beginning, Wang Bo wrote so touching, the writing is so good, I cried just now. ”
If Tang Suzhen's words just now were a grenade for Xiao Jinsong, Li Yang's words were a nuclear bomb, which directly turned Xiao Jinsong's head into a blank, and after a while, his thinking began to work:
Publish science fiction novels in Science Fiction World? And publish two articles at a time? Is it April Fool's Day? What does Wang Bo want to do? Exams, music, literature...... What other talents and talents did he not show?
Tang Suzhen's expression was similar to Xiao Jinsong's, stunned and unbelievable, but as a Chinese teacher, the shock in her heart after graduating from the Chinese department of the university was even more violent and shocking than Xiao Jinsong's, because she knew very well that compared with writing ordinary articles, the difficulty of writing a novel was not at all a grade! Everyone can write an article, and a primary school student can write it, but how many people can write a novel...... There's simply so much to think about. Wang Bo, a 17-year-old sophomore in high school, writes some narratives, or writes essays like "On Revolution/Life" that expose, satirize and lash at reality, although she also finds it a little unbelievable, but it has not yet departed from the scope of understandability; however, the other party is now starting to write novels, and they can also be published in national magazines such as "Science Fiction World", and one publication is still two, in Tang Suzhen's eyes, it is completely incredible, almost miraculous existence.
"Li Yang, can you lend me "Science Fiction World" to take a look?" Tang Suzhen was eager to know what kind of level of science fiction novels the other party wrote, and said to Li Yang a little impatiently.
"Ah, yes, you can see it first, Mr. Tang. This magazine is not mine, it is a sample issue sent to Wang Bo by "Science Fiction World" today, and I grabbed it first. Li Yang respectfully handed over the "Science Fiction World" in her hand to Tang Suzhen, but she regretted it for a while, she knew that she wouldn't talk much, she was seeing the highlights.
"Wang Bo, I'll take a look at this magazine first. I'll read your masterpiece first, and I'll give you back when I've finished reading it. Xiao Jinsong's movements were similar to Tang Suzhen's, but he cut first and then played, and without Wang Bo's consent, he directly grabbed the "Sprout" on Wang Bo's table.
"Please, Mr. Xiao. This is Mr. Tang's magazine, you can return it to Mr. Tang directly after reading it. It is estimated that "Sprout" will send me a sample issue in two days. Wang Bo said with a smile. (To be continued.) )
