Chapter 32: The Passing Years (Part II)
In August, the weather is already in autumn.
This year is destined to be a year of dire conditions for Shen Zhe.
His mother, Yang Xin, assumed the role of prison warden, while Shen Zhe became a prisoner in the study.
repeatedly promised that the time would be reasonably arranged and would not delay the major event of the college entrance examination, but the mother was completely unable to communicate in this regard.
Even after receiving more than one million royalties from the first book, Yang Xin, who has always been careful in budgeting, just nodded lightly, as if he didn't look at it.
The first edition of "If You Give Me Three Days of Light" sold 780,000 copies in the first month, and it is expected to enter the best-selling list. For this reason, Huaxia Youth Publishing House had to start the printing press for the second time, and Editor-in-Chief Wei admired the courage of the editor-in-chief, Zhongli.
At first, he also thought that it would sell well, but he didn't dare to make the decision to print a million copies for the first time, because there was a big difference between thinking about it and daring to do it.
The serialization continued, and the task of writing the next manuscript was given to Su Wei by Zhongli.
In the end, the time that Shen Zhe won was only half an hour after dinner, but it was enough for him to code thousands of words.
After completing the first three chapters, send it to the editor's mailbox and receive a reply the next day.
"What is this? a hymn to bad students?"
Shen Zhe shook his head, the impression given in front of "Those Years" was indeed a bad student who didn't like to study.
What's worse is still autobiographical, Su Wei is easy to substitute for Shen Zhe, because the original author Nine Knives itself is the protagonist.
Shen Zhe did not change the overall narrative, but only replaced things that did not appear in Huaxia, such as the foot basin.
Zhongli was also a little dissatisfied with the manuscript when he received it, and asked the editor in charge to ask Xiao Shen what he wanted to write.
"Sister Su, don't be fooled by the first few chapters, this is a story about the sorrow of youth...... That's it.,Isn't it going to take more than a month for the last serial.,When I'm done with this one.,You'll understand it after reading it.。 ”
Recall, the first two manuscripts he submitted when he came to Huaxia did not seem to be suitable for serialization.
Because there were so many works in the chip, it was impossible for him to carry them all, so he inadvertently chose the more impressive works first. The initial submission was just an accident, and his original plan was to start submitting after the college entrance examination.
"Those Years" Shen Zhe first saw the movie version, and after it was introduced, he was castrated by a certain department as usual, so he habitually looked for the original work.
At that time, he had graduated for several years, and he was immediately drenched by the heavy rain of youth in the article.
Just like a book review I once saw, youth is a heavy rain, even if you have a cold, you still look forward to drenching again.
The regret of the protagonist Ke Jingteng makes people's hearts blocked when they read it, but there are no tears to flow, which can only be said to be a kind of helpless sadness and bitterness. Shen Zhe felt that such feelings were very suitable for the positioning of "Chinese Youth", so he chose it.
At the end of the month, the magazine received the full manuscript from Shen Zhe.
Sure enough, after Su Wei finished reading it, she immediately contacted him with a talk sign, and her view turned 180 degrees.
"Awesome, the level of this story ......"
In her opinion, Shen Zhe's two manuscripts are woven stories, but in fact, they are not, strictly speaking, they are people and things that have happened.
However, the editor-in-chief Zhong Li read the manuscript and was stunned for a long time, and then said: "Publish it directly." ”
I don't know if I remembered my youth, and I was also hit by sadness.
Editor-in-chief Wei was happy, and other editors smiled bitterly.
Originally, a magazine was forced to be edited into a publishing house by Shen Zhe's two manuscripts.
It is still 8% royalty, and Shen Zhe is very satisfied.
……
Something big and not big happened at school.
Thursday afternoon was a self-study class, and the head teacher, Versace, stepped up to the podium to announce something.
"All the little green mountains play!"
There was an uproar in the classroom, and the students looked at Teacher Fan in disbelief, and Shen Zhe was also a little surprised.
"I'm going to give you a change of brain. ”
Hearing the news, the school leaders were also a little dumbfounded, and the principal immediately went to Versace's office in person.
"Xiao Fan, what are you doing here, don't you know that this year is their most important year, or a key class!"
Principal Ren, who was in his fifties, had a red nose and frowned at the teacher who was preparing for the trip.
Versace raised his head and sighed: "Principal Ren, look at the state of the students in the classroom, all of them are glazed, how efficient can this learning be? The school and home put too much pressure on them......
"In previous years, the senior students were not all the same, you are too nonsense!"
Versace said: "Principal Ren, don't worry, Xiaoqingshan is not far away, it still belongs to the urban area, and there will be no accidents...... Since the school has asked me to take this class of students, I should always consider my teaching style. ”
Principal Ren seemed to be convinced, thinking that an afternoon would not make much of a difference, but he still warned him.
"Xiao Fan, take the students to see the scenery, just come back quickly, the parents know, it's not clear if there will be an accident......"
Shen Zhe thought about it for a while, but he somewhat understood Teacher Fan's thoughts.
The college entrance examination in Huaxia seems to be more tense than the original time and space, after all, there are nearly twice as many students in the country, and it is more difficult to break through.
Look at the classmates around me, it's been more than a month since school started, and there are still classmates who don't know each other, and even Lin Yuhan has been smiling a lot less recently.
Getting close to nature, the faces of the classmates were indeed a lot lighter, Shen Zhe did not walk with Lin Yuhan, but in a pile of more than forty male classmates. After playing for two hours, after returning to the campus, Shen Zhe was called into the office by Teacher Fan.
Versace sat down behind his desk, looked at Shen Zhe opposite and asked, "Shen Zhe, you should know about the specialty student, right?"
Shen Zhe, who was confused, nodded, Huaxia has always had this tradition.
Students who have special talents in sports, music, etc., can be admitted early to a certain university of their choice.
"Just know, in fact, there are every year, but this kind of enrollment method is not liked by some school leaders, and it has not been announced. ”
Shen Zhe nodded, early admission in Huaxia was allowed not to take the college entrance examination, which affected the overall performance of the school.
Versace smiled: "I have read all the essays you wrote in your three years of high school, and I think you have the ability to take the literary specialty exam...... It is a pity that there is such a good calligraphy and good writing, and it is a pity not to be the author of the Federation of Literary and Art Circles. If you want, I can select a few of your essays and submit them to the examination team for preliminary review, and the specific selection time will have to wait until the holiday before the Spring Festival. ”
"Teacher Fan, composition and literature are not the same thing, right?"
Versace smiled: "There is always something in common, do you dare to say that you don't have this idea in your heart?"
"Well, I'm really going to go that way, but if I don't take the early exam, I have to go home and ask my parents......"
Versace nodded, and said with a smile: "This is as it should be, once you are admitted in advance by the university you want to take at that time, it will be considered a double insurance...... I guess you guys think about the same thing, and there's still competition between them. ”
He smiled again: "When I came, I heard that you are a very difficult student to teach, isn't that the case, the most worry-free student......
Shen Zhe also smiled and asked, "Just the previous composition?"
"I look at your exam essays, you can choose any few, but when you take the exam, you don't look at the level of essays...... Whether you can take the road of literature depends on your works at that time, and make some preparations. ”
Shen Zhe also understands that student essays have little to do with literary works.
Some of his Chinese language test papers are full-score essays from the original time and space, and it is not surprising that he usually gets high scores in exams. There are also a few articles written by myself, and I have been a writer for so many years, and I still have the ability to write a high school essay.
When I went home and talked to my parents, Shen Mingcheng supported it, and Yang Xin opposed it.
"You said that there will be an exam for early admission?" the mother said, "Then it is better to take the college entrance examination directly, above board!"
Shen Mingcheng disagreed: "When you entered the university, who asked you how you got in?"
"Going to Yanjing?" the mother revealed her true thoughts, and she was a little worried about letting her son suddenly run away thousands of miles away. Because since coming to Huaxia, Shen Zhe has never left Zhonghai City, so it is inevitable that he will not be at ease.
"What's this, how did you get in, I don't have to go to school in Yanjing next year. Shen Mingcheng frowned.
Although Shen Zhe had never been out of the country in the original time and space, and he had been to many places in this land, he couldn't say it.
"Definitely," Shen Zhe said, "At that time, the students who passed the preliminary examination will be together, and it is estimated that the examination venue will still be in the capital." ”
After discussing for a long time, his parents did not reach an agreement, and Shen Zhe's opinion was ignored.
On the way out of school, I thought that I would write a real literary work, and then let Mr. Fan pinch off the idea of interrogation, so I tried the original composition.
If you pass guò, you will take the early exam, and if you can't pass it, forget it.
In the national unified college entrance examination, Shen Zhe also has enough confidence and more than half a year to learn a small part of knowledge.
