Chapter 85: Jealousy
(Bad news.) I just received a notification that this book is on the shelves No. 1. This is really sad news. The starting point is divided into two situations, one is that the collection meets the standard, and it is strongly pushed for a week and then put on the shelf. One is to hit the street and run naked directly on the shelves. This one certainly belongs to the latter. But fortunately, I was mentally prepared in advance. It doesn't affect the update. However, there is still sadness, and it affects the state of writing. Today's chapter is really poorly written, and a lot of the set plots haven't been written. But I've really done my best. Thank you for your understanding. )
"Zhu Ziqing is in a hurry to have great talent, and it is almost no difficulty for him to write a poem in seven steps. He once wrote two poems on the same day, "The Heavenly Market" and "Mistakes".
Both poems were written in a very short period of time. This has been confirmed by Master Jia Qigong and Master Sun Shouqing themselves. ”
"Just because the speed of creation doesn't mean that the quality of the poem is poor. Each of his poems is enough to be passed down to the ages. Today, we will not analyze the connotation of the poem, but only talk about the impact caused, which is also unbelievable.
"Heavenly Market" has more than tripled the number of visitors to Qibao Old Street year-on-year. The pavilion where Zhu Ziqing wrote his poems has also become a must-visit place for every tourist. It is said that the local government intends to erect a monument and make it a cultural selling point.
The poem "Mistake" gave birth to a national treasure-level famous painting, which is of immeasurable value. Now the painting has been collected by the Palace Museum. ”
But both of these poems are modern poems, including all his works, fairy tales, essays, novels, etc., are modern. So much so that everyone ignored his attainments in ancient texts. Today, Zhu Ziqing uses an untitled poem to prove that his attainments in ancient poetry are no less than those of modern literature. ”
Zhu Ziqing's urgency is vividly reflected in three poems. He is best at taking local materials and serving his own work. And it's always just right, and it feels like it's supposed to be. That's where he's really smart.
Qibao Old Street has a Tang River, so there is a shallow Milky Way in "Heavenly Market". Master Sun's paintings have the scenery of the south of the Yangtze River and the girl of Sichun, so in "Mistake", there is a bluestone to the evening, and the window is tightly covered.
In the untitled poem, Zhu Ziqing once again exerts his extraordinary talent. In the proposition, there is 'red clothes like fire, as bright as peach blossoms', and in the poem, there is 'beauty is not born from the mother's womb, but should be born from a peach blossom tree'. ”
"The proposition is very simple, only a few sentences, and it is all written from the perspective of a girl. The only thing that describes the monk is the scattering of Buddha beads and the sentence 'Amitabha'. The monk's psychological struggle, the monk's inner choice, are all hidden in this string of Buddha beads. It's unsatisfying.
Zhu Ziqing used his great wisdom to complete the story belonging to the monk. It turned out that he had also struggled and hesitated, and even asked the monk for advice. But in the end, everything turned into a sentence of 'Amitabha'.
The four words "Amitabha" have become famous sentences such as "the world is safe and perfect, and it lives up to the truth", which describes the contradictions of the monk deeply. ”
"It is not enough for a person who is not wise enough to write such a philosophical story. People who are not affectionate and sexual are not enough to write such a penetrating sentence. People who are not extremely dedicated to love cannot write such affectionate poems. I don't know which girl can get this feeling, it will be enough to make women all over the world envy the legendary story. ”
This is an article published in the "Youth Daily" by a well-known writer named Dong Junqi, who praised Zhu Ziqing as rare in the sky and unparalleled on earth. But it is such an article that is accepted by most people.
In particular, his interpretation and analysis of this poem has won the approval of most writers. This article has also been reprinted by many media outlets, and has become an important reference for interpreting Zhu Ziqing and his works.
From this time on, there were more articles interpreting Zhu Ziqing and his works. This interpretation is different from the previous interpretation, which was mostly written by the media or current critics in order to attract attention. Not professional.
What we are talking about now is that a person who is also a literati analyzes the literary nature of his works and the connections that exist between them from the perspective of literature.
Being studied by peers means that Zhu Ziqing has gained a firm foothold in the literary world and has a place.
"I didn't expect him to set up a flag in the literary world so soon. Putting down the newspaper, Zhao Mingyuan said to Wei Zhixing with emotion:
Although I know that he is talented, sooner or later he will be able to break out of the literary world. But I expected him to be able to fly his flag in a year and a half. Unexpectedly, less than half a year later, he did it. ”
"That's because you don't know him well enough, or don't value him enough. I'm not surprised that he was able to set up a flag in the literary world so quickly. You can count his work. ”
It has only been less than half a year since his debut, and the works under his name have added up to more than ten long and short stories, all of which are classics. Other writers may not be able to produce so many excellent works for two or three years. He smoothed out the shortcomings of time with quantity. ”
"I don't pay attention to him yet?" Zhao Mingyuan smiled bitterly: "I'm about to treat him as a grandfather, how can I pay attention to him." ”
"Is that really the case?" Wei Zhixing laughed:
"Your attention to him is only superficial, and you don't dare to offend him on purpose. In fact, deep down you are very annoyed with him. ”
"We've always had a great time working together, so why bother him? Zhao Mingyuan reached out and touched his nose, and said with a 'haha'.
"Because he hurt your self-esteem and your dignity as editor-in-chief. Wei Zhixing said word by word:
"You are the editor-in-chief, do you feel very aggrieved to whisper to the contracted authors under your banner? That's why you don't want to meet him until now. ”
Hearing this, Zhao Mingyuan's face darkened, but he did not stop Wei Zhixing from talking. And Wei Zhixing didn't seem to have the intention of taking care of the face of his old friend and old partner, and continued:
"When you first signed a contract with Zhu Ziqing, you often said that you wanted to visit him in person. But I didn't make the trip because I was busy with work. Later, it was changed to inviting him to our magazine. Now I don't even mention it.
We've been friends for years. From the university to the present, I don't know you. What do you think you can hide from me? ”
"Well, you're the only one who reminds me of that. Zhao Mingyuan suddenly sighed and said:
"I really don't like Zhu Ziqing, the reason is not him, it's me. I'm just a person with too much self-esteem. When I was looking for a job, I quarreled with my boss and was forced to resign because of my self-esteem, and I started "Children's Literature" because of my self-esteem. ”
Thinking that he graduated from college that year, he felt that he was a beautiful son of the sky, and he refused to bow his head everywhere. So much so that the head was bled out, and Wei Zhixing, who was still harmed, lost his job with him. thought that Wei Zhixing obviously had the opportunity to enter the world's top 500 companies and get a good career, but he still chose to accompany himself on the streets. Zhao Mingyuan's eyes were a little red.
It is rare to find a confidant in life, and he is lucky to meet a brother who can share weal and woe. At the beginning, he could accompany himself in weal and woe, and in the future, he must let him share prosperity with himself. This is the oath that Zhao Mingyuan made in his heart one day when he was lying on the overpass and sleeping.
Then, he let go of his arrogance and worked hard, and finally had "Children's Literature".
"After all these years, I thought that this self-esteem of mine was gone. Now I know that it's not that it's gone, but that it's hidden deeper. ”
"Do you think you're the only one who feels hurt about your self-esteem, and I have it too. When I went to him with the contract, he didn't even look at it, and just took out a stack of papers for me. I also have to accompany the smiling face, for fear that he will not be satisfied.
From the high-ranking deputy editor-in-chief to the low-voiced turtle grandson, I feel like I'm like a clown. It's the most dramatic thing I've ever experienced in my life. But looking at what we've achieved so far, I think it's all worth it.
Looking back now, what do we have to be proud of, why do we feel like we are on top of it? Isn't it just opening a magazine? The phrase 'everyone is equal' has been learned since I was a child, and I have long forgotten it when I did it. ”
"I didn't expect you Wei Zhixing to have such a side. Zhao Mingyuan suddenly laughed: "But there is one thing you are wrong. I didn't annoy him, I didn't like him because he hurt my self-esteem. I was jealous of him. ”
"Jealousy?" Wei Zhixing couldn't imagine how this could be related to jealousy again.
"I'm jealous of his talent. Zhao Mingyuan said in a deep voice:
"When we graduated, how much suffering we endured and how many sins we suffered before we had our own careers. It took us four or five years to break even. But it only took him a few months to get the magazine to the top spot in the industry. How old he is now to make such an achievement. So I'm jealous of him. ”
"Alas, so it was. I still want to enlighten you, but I didn't expect to find the wrong reason. Wei Zhixing laughed and said, "But seriously, I envy him too." Such a result was achieved at such a young age. Is talent really that important?"
"Haha...... I would like to thank you for your enlightenment. At least you let me know that I'm not the only one who is jealous of him. Now I feel much better. Zhao Mingyuan also laughed and said.
Neither of them is a three-year-old child, and they won't let their feelings control their thinking too much. Nor will I always indulge in unrealistic fantasies. So it was quickly back to working status.
"Whether you are jealous or not, it is still up to you to have a good relationship with him. Zhao Mingyuan restrained his emotions and said, "Have you discussed with him about taking over the new book?"
"I just offended him, how dare I mention it. But don't worry, I've got a clue. Now everything is ready, only the east wind is owed. ”
"Where does the east wind come from?"
"From CCTV, of course. ”
There are many people who want to use Zhu Ziqing's fame to make profits for themselves, including critics, some writers, media, and so on. Among them, there are also some people who have cooperated with him.
So, the next day, in addition to the news of the four consecutive championships, there were two other news related to him.
The first one is, of course, from Tao Yingshuang's Quadruple Publishing House. Silian Publishing House announced that the single edition of "The Devotion of Suspect X" has been printed and will be sold in the near future.
The second news was released by CCTV. More precisely, it was released by the CCTV animation department. They have reached an agreement with Seven Nights to adapt Shuck and Beta into an animated film. It is expected that in the first half of next year, everyone will be able to see two little mice on TV.
