Chapter 36: The Chess King

“……

The night is dark, and I can't see my fingers. The king had slept to death all his life. But I still seem to be shouting in my ears, the torches are bright in front of me, and the mountain people are iron-faced, walking in the woods on their shoulders, babbling and singing. I laughed and thought: If you don't be a layman, where would you know such fun? The family is ruined, and the head is flat every day, but there is a real life in it, and when you know it, it is a blessing and a blessing. Food and clothing are the foundation, and human beings are busy with this every day. But confined to it, it finally doesn't look like a human being. Tiredness gradually came up, so he hugged the curtain and fell into a deep sleep. ”

After putting the manuscript in his hand on the table, Govin took a deep breath, he was not mistaken, the manuscript in front of him was written exactly the one he had read in his previous life - "The King of Chess".

The novella xiao of "The Chess King" can be described as famous in later generations, it not only ranked 2o in the top 100 Chinese xiao sayings in the twentieth century, but also won the best novella xiao theory award in the third excellent novella xiao saying selection, and the writer Ah Cheng has also become famous since then. Later, this xiao said that it was also made into a movie by directors in the mainland and Taiwan, and a xiao said that it was adapted into a movie by directors under both systems at the same time in four years, and I have to say that "The King of Chess" is an outstanding Xiao Shuo work.

Seeing this xiao talk again, and it was a manuscript submitted by the author himself, Gowen's feeling in his heart was really weird, but it didn't affect his review work. Although the storyline of the original manuscript in front of him is basically consistent with what he saw in later generations, there are some deficiencies in the structure of the text, such as paragraph division, typos and other Xiaoxiao problems.

Thinking of this, Govin leaned over and picked up the pencil from the ground, and then read it carefully again, marking various marks on the manuscript paper with the pencil from time to time in the process. Even the most stern editor will have a feeling of no idea where to start in the face of such a Xiao story, Xiao said that the maturity of the thought and the tension of the story are simply incomparable, and can only help to divide typos and large paragraphs more compactly. This is exactly what Govin has to say.

Speaking of Gowen's markers, there is also a very interesting cha song: China only published the "Punctuation Usage" in December 1995, and before that, all kinds of punctuation marks were marked according to their own understanding or conventions. Since Govin became the first review editor of Harvest magazine, he naturally introduced the later set of punctuation marks into the review process. Common punctuation marks such as periods (such as periods, commas, question marks, etc.) and markers (such as quotation marks, parentheses, title numbers, etc.) are commonly used by everyone, and naturally they will not understand the differences, but some special symbols such as section numbers, star ratings of articles, etc., make the editors of Jiao fork reviewers a little confused, and sometimes they have to find Govin to ask what he means here.

So Gowen, who came to his senses, made a list of various symbols and posted it on the big mén of the editorial department, and everyone in the province had difficulty and misunderstanding in reading because of a few symbols. Later, when he carefully studied the table, he was surprised that the table was tailor-made for the editor, which allowed the editor to avoid text annotation and repetitive copying during the review process, saving a lot of time and effort. Therefore, at the regular meeting of the editorial department, Ba Lao praised Govin by name for his diligent thinking and good use of his brain, and called on all the editors of the editorial department of Harvest to use Gowen's special symbol explanation table to standardize the use of symbols.

After revising the irregularities of the whole article, Gewen smacked his lips with some unfinished thoughts, if every author's work is as good as this "Chess King", then as an editor is simply living in heaven. A good article is like a stimulant, which can make an editor's adrenaline rush and produce a feeling of happiness.

Govin is just a trainee editor for the first review of manuscripts, and his job is only to put forward his own basic evaluation and handling opinions for each manuscript, and the real right to decide whether the manuscript can be published or not is not with him. Although I believe that the vision of other editors is much sharper than his own, Gewen still wrote his comments seriously in the blank space at the beginning of the manuscript of "The King of Chess": Although the Xiao Shuo of "The King of Chess" with the theme of the life of educated youths is vulgar and clumsy, it is this unique narrative method and xìng language that makes this Xiao Shuo full of incomparable charm! In addition, the subject matter of the xiao is quite good......

At this point, Govin paused, revisited the storyline of "The Chess King", and then went on to write: The heroic deeds of ordinary people are often a microcosm of history. Sometimes some ordinary people will shine with dazzling brilliance when they are forced. Later, when they revert to being human, they are often frightened by their actions. Personally, this process often starts from zero and returns to zero, but history goes further than that!

Highly recommended table!

Govin wrote down his conclusion, which was then marked with five five-pointed stars on the back.

Gently placing the selected manuscript on the left-hand side of the table, Govin began to review the other manuscripts. At the same time, there is also a trace of xiaoxiao's regret in his heart, he is only a preliminary editor now, and he can't make a decision on whether a work is listed or not, and naturally he is not qualified to contact the author. Unless it is arranged by the editorial department, it will have a very bad impact if it is a disrespect to the final editor and a breach of unity.

When will you be in charge? At this time, a faint idea suddenly popped into Gowen's mind - to start his own magazine!

It's a pity that this kind of thinking is simply wishful thinking for the current Govyn, not to mention that he has not made any big money now, and his identity alone is an insurmountable threshold.

I have just experienced a joyful visual feast, followed Ah Cheng's pen to appreciate a shocking but calm and indifferent life, and then look at those uneven levels and content of the submitted manuscripts, for a while Govin was a little unmotivated. However, he soon woke up, collected his worries, and cheered up his spirit to return to his work.

*****************************

Say a few words from your heart.

Actually, I started watching the Internet xiao from o3.,It's basically the earliest batch of readers in the www.biquge.info of Biquge.。 Then since O5, I had the idea of creating my own network xiaoshuo.,During the period, I wrote five or six xiaoshuo beginnings.,But none of xiaoshuo can be written completely.。 On the one hand, because of his limited writing level, the plot in his head often cannot be converted into words, on the other hand, because his will is not strong enough, he is often attracted by other things, such as a certain god's xiao, a new movie, or even QQ chat......

It wasn't until O9 that I finally decided to write a complete book, no matter how bad I wrote! That's where summoners come in.

At the beginning, the summoner was serialized in the www.biquge.info of Biqu Pavilion.,And then in order to sign a contract, I ran to another website to sign a contract.,After it was put on the shelf, it was also done every day4ooo words、From time to time, Xiao exploded Cheng dù.,What needs to be explained here is that I still have work every day at that time.,I can only code words at night.,It often takes three or four xiao hours to complete 4ooo words.。 Maybe this kind of degree is not worth mentioning in the eyes of many writers, but for me, it means a lot, because it means that I can also persevere, and I can also make readers happy!

I know that there are quite a few old book friends of summoners in the big era, and I think you should be aware of how many mao problems summoners have produced in the process of writing: the slow progress of the storyline, the change of the main character, the plot of the beggar gang that suddenly chases, and even the end of the mess......

I know that everyone wants to see a book that makes them feel good, but for me, every thing a summoner is a new experience. It's the first time I've written such a long xiao, the first time I've signed a contract, and it's the first time I've put it on the shelves...... Can you understand the feeling of apprehension and loss?

I still remember when I was writing about summoners, some of them felt that the plot progressed too slowly, and then I accelerated the transition of the plot in order to cater to them, and then I couldn't grasp the rhythm of xiao said the progress for a long time. Some people feel that the protagonist's xìng grid is too aggrieved, so I modified the protagonist's xìng grid to make him decisive, and then the protagonist's xìng grid becomes weird......

I have to admit that I'm just a newcomer and I'm overestimating my abilities! It's just that this qiē and every qiē wish are all beautiful -- I just want to make it more enjoyable for everyone to watch. Isn't that right? As for the final mess, I can only say that I had lost my confidence at that time, and I had lost my enthusiasm for the summoner in my heart......

The reason why I talk about my last book is to tell you that I will not make the same mistakes as the previous book.

The Great Era will be firmly written according to the set outline.

As for some of the tubes that say that the plot is too slow, mine says that what I am good at is this kind of unhurried rhythm, introducing Gowen's life and work step by step, and then touching the foreshadowing little by little to correspond to the context. From the beginning of this book to the present, except for the first, second, and third chapters, which I have nothing to do with the main line in order to reflect the style of the 8o years, there should be no deliberate drag on the plot.

These tubes that say that my plot progress is slow should just say that I am slow to update, and for this, there is indeed zài. So, let me make a final decision: like I said, let's try 3ooo words a day first?

Whew, when I saw some comments in the book review area at night, I still couldn't help but confess my thoughts, and if something inappropriate, everyone should take it as a joke and laugh it off.

In any case, please continue to support the big time and support Yang Rebellion!

Finally, thank you for the reward from the book friend féi fat brother, thank you!
