Chapter 57: This Is a True God's Work
Xu Teng has always felt that he rarely changes the world, but now that he thinks about it, this statement is not true, at least, the fate of the girls around him is almost all changing drastically.
"Yan ...... Yan Xiaoqing?" "When he saw Yan Xiaoqing from the box, he really thought he had seen a ghost.
Finished.
This girl is also secretly messing with him, and they have all become science fiction writers, is there a mistake?
"You know?" Editor-in-Chief Luo was also very strange.
"Senpai, high school. Xu Teng looked carefully at Yan Xiaoqing, who was sneering and sneering, and always felt that the other party was playing too hard in this matter, it was not a matter of one or two days, it would take several years of slow work to do it.
Yan Xiaoqing is a top student in the English Department, this is true, it is not easy to be admitted to the 211 Normal School, but after all, she is only a sophomore, writing a short and medium-length science fiction novel in English, and she can also win the first prize in the competition of the top nine normal universities in the country?
Who's kidding this?
In Xu Teng's memory, this girl was the life of returning to the county to be an English teacher, but she actually changed her career and became a female science fiction writer, and it is estimated that she will go all the way to translation in the future.
"Hey, you now know I'm a senior sister. "Yan Xiaoqing is very proud, I can't help it, I like others since my sophomore year of high school, and I have fought all the way to today, for four years, and I finally caught the other party's life.
Is she easy?
A person is like a thief everywhere, hiding from everyone every day, holding dozens of Asimov's complete English works and reading wildly, practicing English and science fiction writing at the same time, and it takes a lot of effort to publish a few short stories in "Science Fantasy World", and they are all soft science fiction that does not rely on imagination.
She actually wants to say now, you beg me, you beg me, your "Blue Star Giant", I have already translated it into English for you, my aunt's, it took a semester to torture repeatedly.
Wrong.
One school year, when the last new semester started, she had already translated it.
This is all Qi Xiaopeng's exclusive information to her, work hard, work hard, it's finally done, I'm ready to scare you to death today.
Xu Teng was a little dizzy.
The world has changed so much that it is a little difficult for him to accept.
He couldn't help but look back at Yan Haili, who had just fallen into the pit, and thought, you won't be like her, and finally become the king of domestic beautiful writers, if you really want to be like that, you two will support me together!
The four of them sat down in the box, and the atmosphere was a little solemn.
Editor-in-Chief Luo is a forty-year-old man, who has read millions of volumes, he doesn't understand anything, this Yan Xiaoqing is ruthless enough, the magic of love is really evil, in order to make a handsome guy, I don't know how long I have worked hard in secret.
It's not a day or two.
More than 1,000 foreign language students participated in the Galaxy Cup Essay Contest jointly organized by their magazine and the School of Foreign Languages of Jiujia 211 Normal University, and actually received more than 700 short and medium stories.
How much sweat is behind success, and how much love is behind sweat.
The point is, you don't look good, girl.
Don't talk about Miss Yu last time, even the Miss Yan in front of you is much more beautiful than you, a man can still make a girl, and a woman can't be a handsome guy if she is talented!
Editor-in-Chief Luo didn't say anything, he saw it, there was nothing for him today, he was going to have a cup of tea, order two dishes and leave after eating, whoever likes to pay will pay, anyway, he doesn't buy it.
The hotel was made by Yan Xiaoqing, and when he came over, he found that the girl was waiting for him with two bottles of Lafite, good guy, almost scared him to pee, and he wanted to beat this female madman at that time, without saying a word, he quickly called the rich owner Xu Teng over.
If you don't shout, who's going to pay?
"Let's order first. Xu Teng broke the silence, he really didn't eat enough at noon, he didn't have fifty percent full, and all the delicious dishes were swept away by Yan Haili.
If it weren't for the fact that she was still dressed beautifully, Xu Teng would have thought that she was recruiting a female beggar, the kind who had been hungry for three days.
As soon as Xu Teng finished speaking, Yan Haili burped very facelessly, and there was a smell of seafood, which really lasted until now.
He really wanted to stand on the table and teach the other party a lesson, you are the beautiful writers of the Gong Dou faction that I am ready to support, and you are not here to be responsible for being funny.
"I've ordered it, it's all your favorite dishes. Yan Xiaoqing put down the menu, this was just the beginning, and by the way, he opened a Coz handbag and took out a stack of English manuscripts from it, "Your "Blue Star Giant", I have already translated it for you, you can see if you can use it first, anyway, if it is posted on the Internet, you must not really ask a master-level expert to translate it." â
"Oh, thanks. Xu Teng was a little surprised, so he said, the power of female fans is infinite, you can buy a movie ticket, you can ...... Of course, a situation like Yan Xiaoqing is a bit too exaggerated, and it directly changes the goal of life.
But.
This female rascal didn't have any life plans originally, and now she is definitely moving in a better direction.
She has taken this road well, and in the future, she will translate foreign works, or translate domestic works, which can almost be regarded as fame and fortune.
Xu Teng ordered two dishes casually before reading the draft, his memory was a little exaggerated, and he could roughly remember the dishes that Yan Xiaoqing used to order when he used to eat with them.
There is a dish that both of them love to eat, corn and shrimp, a famous dish of Bazhen Building in Weixian County.
Yan Xiaoqing glanced at him, and saw that he didn't mean anything special, just looked at the manuscript calmly, and sighed in his heart, this bastard is really a big scourge, he doesn't give his female compatriots a little way to live, it's over, and he originally wanted to intimidate him fiercely.
Xu Teng doesn't have as much thought as hers, with his English level, he can basically read but not translate, and writing science fiction novels directly in English is even more nonsense.
Yan Xiaoqing is definitely not the first time to read the novella "Blue Star Giant", she read it in her junior year of high school...... It's almost the level of reciting backwards, and I heard Qi Xiaopeng say later that Xu Teng has always wanted to translate into English and send it abroad to try his luck.
Qi Xiaopeng didn't believe it, and looked disdainful.
She believes that because she is very devoted to reading, she loves it very much, and the supreme classic in her heart, whoever dares to tell her that this novel is not good, she will fight with whomever she wants.
Compared with the movie "Avatar", Xu Teng explores the depth of exploration in the creation of the novel, and he even involves the category of the god of the blue star.
On the basis of his creation, he also adopted a large number of theories of biological neuroscience, read many professional medical books, and more completely constructed the ins and outs of this god of nature.
It is the existence of the blue star life that has been born at a certain stage of evolution, and has existed for millions of years, with a brilliant and unimaginable main god space, just like the network world on the earth, or a more exaggerated three-dimensional virtual network world in the future.
The thinking and memory of any life can follow it and achieve eternity in a certain sense, even if it is a human being, it can transfer its memory and thinking ability into it.
Compared with the movie, he added a paragraph in which the soul of the protagonist Lan Bo wandered inside the main god space of Blue Star, the experience of communicating with the main god, and seeing generations of tribal chiefs.
There is a saying in this blue star that the chieftain who is approved by the Lord God will have great power and brilliance, have the duty of guarding the planet, and have a nobler soul that is completely different from ordinary people.
This is the Blue Star Giant.
In fact, purely in terms of imagination, online literature in the next ten years will be much more powerful than traditional science fiction literature and science fiction movies.
Xu Teng just picked a leaf from it, and for Editor-in-Chief Luo, this is a classic masterpiece with a brain-opening and imagination explosion.
The purely English version has more than thirty pages.
Xu Teng roughly turned the first ten pages, and it was already determined that it could be used, anyway, compared to himself carrying a dictionary to translate Niu Cha, and simply speaking English, he was not on the same level as Yan Xiaoqing, who was a scholar at the top level.
He put the manuscript away for the time being, nodded, and thanked Yan Xiaoqing, "You have worked hard." â
Laborious?
Yan Xiaoqing almost exploded, do you know, how many years have I worked hard for this goal? You published your first science fiction novel when you were in middle school in your second year of junior high school, and you were already a talented person in school at that time, and I was reading your novels.
Do you believe it or not, all your science fiction novels, as long as they are published, I edit them together and hide them in my cupboard?
Beat Yan Xiaoqing to death, she wouldn't say these words, it was too embarrassing, she didn't know how she was so stupid in middle and high school?
Of course, it's stupid now.
"I'm a little nervous right now, I'm going to make a lot of mess and give you 30,000 for the time being. "Xu Teng can't give Yan Xiaoqing what he really wants, he can only give money.
"Well, money is not an issue...... Yan Xiaoqing readily agreed, she subconsciously wanted to add, it's good if you're happy, but she didn't dare to say it, for fear that the bullshit beauty writer surnamed "Yan" opposite would look down on her.
"I still have two medium-length novels in my hand, I just finished revising it recently, you can slowly help me translate it, 30,000 yuan a copy, if I have a follow-up income, I will give you a part of the share. Xu Teng was talking about "Source Code" and "Interstellar", which he had just revised this week.
"Interstellar", Xu Teng is still slowly revising, and "Source Code" has already been changed, just brought back for Editor-in-Chief Luo to see.
"Oh, I'm waiting for you. Editor-in-Chief Luo was so excited that he was about to pee, he had read tens of thousands of words at the beginning last year, but he couldn't read it too thoroughly at that time, but with his understanding of Xu Teng, it must be a brain hole, a big secret.
The result is even more terrifying than Editor-in-Chief Luo expected, this is a big metaphor with several layers of suspense, directly tortures religion and human nature, hundreds of thousands of words, read it in one breath and ten lines at a glance, and first understand the whole story.
Both were reading the manuscript.
Xu Teng watched it a little hard here, pure English, and the editor-in-chief Luo watched it again and again, with an exaggerated expression, exclaimed from time to time, or sighed in contemplation, which made Yan Xiaoqing and Yan Haili next to him suspect that the editor-in-chief had a problem with his brain.
They don't understand.
Xu Teng comprehended the mystery of pretending to be forced to learn, the science fiction writing skills that he repeatedly honed, coupled with undisciplined plagiarism, the three were integrated into one, and finally broke through to a very high realm in six years of repeated hard training, which is vividly reflected in this "Source Code".
Ten classics a year is not for nothing.
"Dune" is such an incomprehensible sci-fi masterpiece, he has gnawed hard.
"God's work, God's work. Editor-in-Chief Luo finally understood, his hands trembled so badly that he almost cried, "Xiao Xu, you are going against the sky, this is a masterpiece that can make you a god in one step, and the throne of the first person in the domestic science fiction industry can't run away." Pointing directly to the darkest selfishness and bigotry of human nature, the symbols of ignorance and the symbols of knowledge are repeatedly reversed, the good and evil of human nature are repeatedly reversed, layers of metaphors, the weakness and selfishness of almost every character are exposed, and the sorrow of human nature and the value of human beings are tortured, from religion to social morality, from faith to human nature, from authoritarianism to terrorism, from family to love, from philosophy to science and technology, from history to the future, the elements are incomparably brilliant and rich, this is a real masterpiece. â
Of course he had to cry, but after six years of support, it finally came to fruition, and as soon as the book came out, his deputy editor-in-chief throne was just around the corner.
His words frightened Yan Xiaoqing.
Although Yan Xiaoqing likes to read Xu Teng's novels, he has never read these things, and has always felt that Xu Teng's power is just that his brain is open, the story is wonderful, and the characters are unique.
I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it, Xu Teng is such an unfathomable storage in the eyes of editors and experts, what a terrifying feeling, can only look up to the storage zĂ i?
Yan Haili is also in the same mood, she has just come into contact with Xu Teng's science fiction novels, she only knows that it is good-looking, and it feels quite easy to understand, but she didn't expect that the expert's appreciation ability really surpasses that of mortal readers.
Unexpectedly, Da Shuai's literary attainments are so terrifying, it is actually this level, and she probably has no hope of touching the bottom line of others in her life.
"Lao Luo, after all these years, thank you for your love and advice. Xu Teng was very quiet, and finally stopped reading the English manuscript translated by Yan Xiaoqing, held this cup of Chilean Basque, and invited Editor-in-Chief Luo to have a drink and drink it together.
"Okay, okay, the key, you are a real genius writer, only one can be met in millions of people, the novel you wrote in your second year of junior high school, send it to me, I know that you are a genius, a rare genius. Editor-in-Chief Luo was excited, this is to clink glasses with the masters of the science fiction world, and it is estimated that the editor-in-chief and deputy editor-in-chief will come to toast in person in the future.
In the face of such praise, Xu Teng was still calm, of course, he was still smiling in his heart.
The movie and script of "Source Code" are already extremely exciting in itself, and what Xu Teng has to do is to continue to improve and design more conflicts of human nature, the conflict of beliefs between the protagonist and the terrorist, the conflict between good and evil in human nature, and the conflict between good and evil between the protagonist and his boss.
To this end, he created a new identity for the terrorists, a new religion, a professor in the chemistry department, an ancient religion that was almost a cult.
The metaphors he leaves behind in his novels are constantly changing, ostensibly questioning the good and evil of human nature, and finally actually questioning the distortion of human nature by religion.
Religion, like science fiction, is answering the same kind of question, where did humanity come from and where are we going.
Xu Teng uses the story of "Source Code" to carry a new question, is religion the root of distorting human nature, without religion, is human beings better or more evil?
This metaphor and questioning are concentrated in the protagonist, as well as the terrorists who are professors in the chemistry department.
In a certain way, Xu Teng is just a technical flow, delicately designing stories and characters, and using layers of metaphors and obscure ways to raise a most profound question, which must be unanswerable by human collectives, so that it is absolutely lofty and absolutely high.
Some of the masters who have won the Nobel Prize in Literature are stream-of-consciousness pretends, thinking that they are the spiritual teachers of mankind, and it is their duty to expose these problems.
Duty: Your mother, this leader is rushing to win the award.
Money, this leader doesn't care, speculating in real estate and stocks is more profitable, this leader wastes his life to write novels for you editors and judges, just to be famous, to be high.
