Chapter 116: Du Huining's Recommendation

The New Perspective Literary Edition intends to interview Magnolia, but is politely rejected by Magnolia.

Mrs. Ouyang shook her head with a smile after hearing her answer.

Magnolia held her mobile phone and looked at Mrs. Ouyang with inquiring eyes, not understanding what she said wrong. The editor immediately asked, "What kind of training do you attend? Is it a part-time job? Do you need to go every day? Does it take up a lot of your time?"

"Yes, it takes a lot of time ......"

Seeing that Mrs. Ouyang kept shaking her hand, Magnolia had no choice but to stop and look at Mrs. Ouyang suspiciously.

The editor continued to ask on the phone: "It must be the training related to Qin and Han literature, right?

Magnolia looked at Mrs. Ouyang and didn't know how to answer.

Mrs. Ouyang took the phone and said, "It's Xiao Qi from a new perspective, right? I know that you will definitely be the first to call, hehe." Don't worry, I'll schedule a time for you to have a formal conversation, but not right now, she's busy. You're right to say that, now I'm her agent, hahaha....... Okay, wait for my call. ”

Mrs. Ouyang quickly hung up the phone and said to Bai Yulan: "Girl, don't answer strange calls now, it is estimated that they are all this kind of thing." The media is doing their work in advance, and as soon as the journal comes out, their press release will come out immediately, and they have a keen sense of smell. But it's a bit early to see them now, especially for newcomers, the most taboo thing is to be hyped up first without results, which is easy to cause disgust. For example, what you just said is a bit too much. ”

"I ...... Why?" asked Magnolia, confused.

Mrs. Ouyang patiently explained: "Because they will play freely." ”

"How will they play?"

Mrs. Ouyang smiled: "Hehe, there is too much room for play, and those who are kind will say that you are not arrogant or impatient, and advocate endless learning; In short, with the media, the less you say, the better, especially when it comes to your own preferences, behavioral habits, past years, and evaluation of people and things, don't express them clearly. ”

"Oh. Bai Yulan thought of the media in Shanghai and Hexiang County, and she was really chasing after the wind and shadows, often saying it today and saying it the other way around tomorrow. Especially in Shanghai, newspapers and TV talked about the relationship between Ouyang Shu and her, although Ouyang Shu deliberately did it to save himself at that time, but later the media played for the ratings and circulation.

Mrs. Ouyang saw that Magnolia was deep in thought, so she comforted: "It's okay, in fact, there is nothing wrong with these media meeting, but I'm worried about ......."

Yes, Mrs. Ouyang felt that Du Huining's performance today was too well-behaved, not like his usual style of acting.

"Girl, you can call Mr. He Majesty in a while, and ask him to come over tomorrow to attend the seminar, and he will promote "I Xiangzhang". Also, tonight, you can find out what is new in the literary publishing industry of the Republic of China, especially the introduction of newcomers, and print it out for me. ”

"Are you worried about tomorrow's seminar, what else do you need me to do?" Lady Ouyang's command made Magnolia nervous unconsciously.

"Yes, I think it went so well today. It doesn't matter, let's block it, don't I have two generals, His Majesty and you!"

He Majesty was very happy to receive Bai Yulan's call: "Miss Yulan, first of all, I would like to convey the gratitude of our crew director and actors, the director has decided to add your name to the screenwriter column." Oh, you're welcome! Now that the bottleneck has passed, the filming is going very smoothly. Tomorrow, of course I'm going, I'm an associate member, and besides, it would be a surprise if I could promote the book through the journal! Of course, I hope that tomorrow I will still get the dialogues of the chapters that follow it. ”

Magnolia told Majesty He Majesty about Lady Ouyang's worries, and asked Majesty if He Majesty had any way to prepare in advance

He Ma said: "It's okay, let Mrs. Ouyang rest assured." I have a local assistant, and I don't know anyone better about the newcomer than her, and if you want to know someone's story, just ask her. ”

When Magnolia heard him say this, her heart relaxed.

Magnolia was very busy that night, preparing a lot of things, including the anecdotes of the literary publishing industry in the past year, as well as the biographies and resumes of newcomers. There is also the dialogue of "I Xiangzhang", although there is a lot of content, but she writes like a flowing cloud, because she can imagine Ou Tongyang's expression in every scene and sentence, and then write it down; Soon, those chapters of the indoor part were written, and after Magnolia checked it twice, she sent it to He Majesty with a sentence: Please correct the axe

It was already late, and I didn't expect He Majesty to be online. After receiving Magnolia's email, he immediately replied to Magnolia, saying that he would show it to the director immediately.

After everything was sorted out, Magnolia read all the information again before washing up and going to sleep.

The last day of the seminar began, today is to discuss the literature of the Republic of China, because there are many works, and only two can be included in the journal, so the competition is very fierce.

He Majesty came early, and sure enough, he brought an assistant who didn't look like an assistant. The reason why I say this is because this assistant is more famous than himself, the honorary dean of the School of Journalism of the University of Hong Kong, the famous scholar Professor Ho Wanting, who is also the editor-in-chief of the journal "New Literature".

As soon as He Wanting arrived, she was surrounded by many people, all kinds of greetings and questions. And He Majesty gave full play to his social advantages, and before the meeting started, he had already received the support of several people, so he was the first to speak. He excerpted a few passages from "The First Life of Camphor", and told the story behind "The First Life of Camphor" with emotion. After he finished speaking, the applause was very warm. An old man said: "I have heard of "I have never had the opportunity to see it", which is the biggest gain of my participation in this seminar. So, there is no doubt that such a good book must be included in the album. ”

Magnolia looked nervously at the crowd, worried that someone would raise objections. What she didn't expect was that no one at the scene objected to the decision and passed it unanimously. She looked at He Majesty, and both of them showed happy expressions.

For the next dozen or so reading notes, Mrs. Ouyang only gave 10 minutes for each book. Because I had already studied the literature of the Republic of China last year, all the books I took out this year were new. Although it is a new book, there are several books whose ideas and techniques can be found in the shadow of the works released last year, and there is no way to compare with "I Xiangzhang". Among them, only two are still a little new, one is about the story of Yuan Shikai's small station training, and the other is about Duan Qirui, the perspective is different from the previous face-painted character portrayal, and the plot is also very attractive.

Just when everyone was talking about each other, Du Huining stepped onto the podium: "Everyone, I believe everyone got the work "Soul Broken Changchun" in the dream of Qinglan. Chairman Kim has set a ten-minute prescript, and I am no exception, so let me introduce this novel. ”

Du Huining talked about Qinglan's works in his dreams on the podium, saying that there has been no time travel drama in the literary works of the Republic of China, and this novel has a novel and unique concept, which fills the gap in this regard. Although it is in the Republic of China, the story involves a variety of hot topics such as palace fighting, undercover, anti-Japanese, and sadomasochism, which is worth promoting.

Mrs. Ouyang received two notes, one from He Majesty and one from Magnolia, the content was basically the same: Qinglan in the dream was Du Huining's sister, formerly known as Du Qinglan. When Mrs. Ouyang saw the note, her face couldn't help but sink.

After Du Huining finished speaking, Mrs. Ouyang did not let everyone comment, but directly announced a break and let everyone have some refreshments.

Du Huining was a little angry, and saw that everyone was rushing to the lounge, so he walked straight to Mrs. Ouyang's side and asked, "President Jin, what do you mean by this?

Mrs. Ouyang pointed to the chair with her finger: "Young man, don't be so angry. You know why you have a tea break. You are also a high-achieving student who graduated from Chinese University, and your sensitivity to literature is quite good, otherwise I would not have agreed with Lao Du's recommendation. Now you look at the works you recommend, I deliberately flipped through it just now, and I didn't find a strange idea, but the writing, the description of the characters, the costumes, and the environment, I believe that any of today's preaching works is not a little better than it. You know how high the standard of the works recommended by our members every year is high, and the journals are the best of the best, so they will attract attention. If you put this kind of work on it, it won't be until the year after that, and next year our symposium and journal will no longer be of interest. You don't get it, do you?"

Du Huining thought for a moment and said, "Is Chairman Jin serious? Didn't you keep emphasizing that there is no distinction between superior and inferior literature, and there are only different angles of appreciation? Why can't we give this newcomer a chance? Besides, we can guide her to make some revisions in her writing." Chairman Kim can't just veto it just because I recommended it, it's too stingy!"

Mrs. Ouyang shook her head: "If you still remember what I said, then I believe you also remember another sentence I said: journals recommend novels, and the principle of first selection of articles is unexpected." We can't decide what readers like, but we can make the story wonderful and moving, and the principle of article selection is the foundation of the journal, which is why the society and the journal are valued. The first principle of the novel "Soul Broken Changchun" does not meet, let alone the principles of progressive significance and social responsibility. The reason I had a coffee break was that I didn't want to say these things in front of everyone, but who were the people there? Editors, publishers, writers, scholars, literature lovers, who couldn't see the problems in your book?"

Du Huining was a little wilted, but still insisted: "Anyway, I think it's good, or let everyone vote for it." ”

Mrs. Ouyang looked at him and whispered, "Don't you know that if you are found to be deliberately favoritism, you will be expelled from the Literature Society?"

"You, what do you mean?"

"Du Qinglan is your sister, if you force out her unqualified works, aren't you afraid that I will exercise the right to remove?"
