Chapter 138: Half Sea and Half Flame [Asking for a Monthly Pass]
Gan Xin agreed to her request so happily, which made the smile on Gowen's face even stronger, Gan Xin didn't know what kind of subject the novel she wanted to publish, otherwise, she would definitely not be so happy.
At a time when Chinese science fiction has been hit hard, when science fiction magazines have been suspended for rectification and newspapers and publications no longer dare to publish science fiction works, does "Reading" dare to risk the world's condemnation to publish science fiction novels in their inaugural issue?
This will be a very big test and a choice
Publishing science fiction novels and serializing a series of articles on the rise of great powers, the benefits between the two are not on the same level, and a single Ganxin cannot be decided at all, and the editor-in-chief of "Reading" magazine or even the upper leaders in the background must make up their minds.
Govyn smiled and shook his head.
Seeing Govin shaking his head, Gan Xin became a little anxious: "Do you have any other requirements?" ”
"No, I won't get along with money. It's just that I think your decision just now was a bit hasty, "You better bring back the novel I'm going to publish, and let your editor-in-chief read it before making a decision." ”
Hearing Govine's words, Gan Xin was stunned.
And Lin Yiming, who had been listening to the side, was also stunned, when Gewen and Gan Xin were talking, he had been sitting silently on the sofa listening to the conversation between the two, and his eyes were shuttling back and forth between Gewen and Gan Xin, of course, his attention was more on the beautiful Gan Xin.
At this time, Lin Yiming was also confused by Govyn's words, he scratched his head, got up from the sofa, and muttered, "What novel still needs to be read by the editor-in-chief himself?" Isn't Gan Xin just an editor?" and ran towards Govyn's house.
Seeing Lin Yiming's movements, the expressions of Ge Wen and Gan Xin became wonderful
Gan Xin looked at Lin Yiming's back with a trace of incomprehension and doubt, and the unhappiness with this person in her heart quietly disappeared.
And Govyn slapped his head on the door, this kid turned his arm outward, it's really inhumane for the opposite sex
But I saved myself from getting the manuscript.
So Govin didn't say anything, got up directly from the sofa, picked up the kettle from the coffee table and poured a glass of water for himself and Ganxin.
Lin Yiming rushed out of the room with the remaining tears on his face.
He shouted loudly, his movements exaggerated, his tone excited, and what he held in his hand was the "Village Teacher" that Govin had already written.
As soon as he rushed out of Govine's room, Lin Yiming didn't even have time to go around to the sofa, he couldn't wait to take a few steps behind the sofa, and then bent down, stretched out his hand, and threw the manuscript tree in his hand in front of Govine, and then leaned over and shouted in Govyn's ear
"Gowen, is this what you just wrote? It's so well written, I was so excited to cry when I watched it just now! ”
Gewen originally had a lot of opinions about Lin Yiming's small movements in his ears. Anyone who is suddenly shouted loudly in their ears will be harshly uncomfortable and impatient. But as soon as he heard Lin Yiming's words, the irritability in his heart was directly extinguished at once? Finish.
Lin Yiming was moved to cry by his "Country Teacher"?
Govin knew that his "Village Teacher" was a success.
With the foreshadowing and comparison of Liu Xinci's version, my current version is, in a sense, far better than Liu Xinci's version. His "Rural Teacher" is not only more rigorous, but the literary appeal is much stronger than that of "Rural Teacher" written by Liu Xinci.
After all, his own hard work, his literary creation, and the guidance and teaching of Ba Jin, Li Yu and others have made his writing skills more sensational and artistic. He himself can now be regarded as a professional writer, and he is undoubtedly more professional and literary than Liu Xinci, an engineer who is halfway out of his home and only regards science fiction as a hobby. Otherwise, wouldn't the giant's shoulders be stepped on in vain?
But who is Lin Yiming?
He's the editor of the editorial department of Harvest
Even if Lin Yiming is just a miscellaneous trainee editor, his daily exposure and his frequent guidance and education by various editors in the editorial department have made Lin Yiming's vision and ability infinitely close to a real review editor.
What Lin Yiming lacks is undoubtedly actual combat experience. But even this, the editing work of the "Harvest" hazy poetry exhibition in December also gave Lin Yiming the most basic exercise. It is no exaggeration to say that in addition to first-line publications such as "Harvest", Lin Yiming can become the official editor of any ordinary editorial department.
But this is how Lin Yiming was moved to cry by his article
Gowen's heart was full of a sense of achievement, it turned out that his efforts were never in vain, it turned out that his efforts would always reap results, and it turned out that his literary creation strength had grown to such a point
However, Lin Yiming's rapid breathing next to his ears still made Gewen suddenly feel a little uncomfortable, so Gewen slapped Lin Yiming's big face next to his face and pushed it out, and then said while holding his ears and eyes with his fingers: "Naturally, I wrote it!" ”
If Gewen had pushed him down like this in the past, Lin Yiming would have been reluctant to give up.
But at this moment, all his heart was deeply fascinated by Gowen's "Country Teacher", and he didn't mind Gowen's unreasonableness at all, on the contrary, he went around the back of the sofa to the front, and continued to ask eagerly in his mouth: "Gowen, your guy's creation is really more and more incomparably admired by me!" It's really any subject matter that can be trusted. The portrayal and description of teachers in this "Rural Teacher" is really touching! Especially the two sentences in the text""
Lin Yiming came to stand in front of Gowen, then opened the manuscript in his hand, looked at the neat handwriting on it, and recounted the two paragraphs he liked with emotion: ......
In the sound of these brilliant minds, which had been reduced to dust in Europe hundreds of years ago, echoed in the most remote mountain villages of twentieth-century China in the thick children's voice of the northwestern dialect, and in this voice, the candle was extinguished.
The babies cried around the teacher's lifeless body.
They have a type of individual, a certain number distributed in all corners of the population, and such individuals act as a medium for the transfer of knowledge between two generations of life.
They are called teachers.
I don't know if the shock brought to Lin Yiming by Gu Cheng's poetry speech in the machinery factory earlier has not disappeared, or whether Lin Yiming was really moved to tears by Gowen's "Country Teacher", no matter what, when Lin Yiming stood in front of Gowen and Gan Xin, he recited the passage of "Country Teacher" he liked with a serious and emotional recitation.
But Gewen's heart was not moved at all, on the contrary, with Lin Yiming's subdued tone, his heart could not help but have a funny feeling, Lin Yiming's Mandarin with a hint of strong Shanghai dialect is very comedic, especially the first paragraph he recited.
In the process of writing, in order to increase the appeal and authenticity of the literature, Govin used the local dialect and habits of Shanxi to portray the language, actions and customs of the teachers and students in the novel, which produced a strong sense of incongruity with the Shanghai dialect Mandarin recited by Lin Yiming, and also made Govin inexplicably have a strong smile.
Then Govin laughed softly and silently.
After lowering his head and reciting the two paragraphs he liked, Lin Yiming raised his head and looked at Govyn and said seriously: "Govine, I have heard many stories of respecting teachers and valuing education, but these stories I have heard, although vivid, are all limited to the dedication of teachers, and once it comes to the meaning of teaching and educating people, it becomes an abstract theoretical preaching. We are moved only as teachers of red candles and silkworms, not as teachers of "engineers of the human soul." In reality, our respect may only be given to a specific teacher, and cannot be transferred to the teaching profession. ”
"But Gowen's "Rural Teacher" is not a good one, it takes into account the dedication of teachers and the meaning of teaching. In particular, the latter has not only been visualized with touching and profound stories, but has also been elevated to a lofty position closely related to human civilization, which is a hundred times more profound than the traditional cultivation of talents for the motherland. It is the teachers who enable human civilization to be passed on from generation to generation and to develop and thrive."
"Govyn, do you know that when I wiped away my tears, I was very surprised and confused, how could I cry?! But then I realized that I was moved by the meaning of the teacher in your text! ”
Lin Yiming's analysis of the article "Rural Teacher" and his self-analysis made Govin begin to face it squarely. Not for the general reader, Lin Yiming's words are mistaken from the perspective of an editor, which is the most desired opinion for a writer.
And Gan Xin, who was sitting on the side with a strong curiosity from beginning to end, finally couldn't help but interject after hearing Lin Yiming's analysis, and she asked Lin Yiming: "Can I take a look at this manuscript?" ”
"Oh, of course." Lin Yiming then remembered that there were not two people at home, not himself and Gowen, but also a beautiful editor.
While handing over the manuscript in his hand, he wailed in his heart: Shame, shame, let Gan Xin see the embarrassment of crying nose
Then Lin Yiming hurriedly wiped a few times on his already dry face. And his appearance also made Gowen, who was thinking about his words, couldn't help but express a disdainful expression on his face.
In order to be able to publish a series of articles on the rise of great powers in the inaugural issue of Reading, Gan Xin happily agreed to Govine's request. But then Govin asked him to bring the novel back and let the editor-in-chief have an idea, which made Gan Xin stunned.
So she couldn't help but speculate, could it be that the level of Gowen's novel is very poor?
But then Gan Xin heard Lin Yiming's words that rushed out of the room, and at this time, Gan Xin knew that her guess was wrong: how could a novel that could move readers to tears.
But why did Govin feel that his own guarantee was not insured, and he still wanted to bring the manuscript back to the editor-in-chief for review?
Then, Gan Xin heard the first paragraph recited by Lin Yiming, although it was only one paragraph, but the language of Wencai came from Lin Yiming's words, letting people know that this is definitely a very good work of fiction.
But then Lin Yiming's recitation made Gan Xin frown deeply, the words in the second paragraph are definitely not ordinary literary words, dry and rare, on the contrary, there is some taste of science and technology in it."
Gan Xin has her own associations in her heart.
After taking the manuscript from Lin Yiming's hand and starting to look at it, Gan Xin was a little skeptical of her judgment, this seems to be a pure literary work.
Gan Xin's heart was full of uneasy feelings.
Then she saw what she had always felt uneasy about
At a certain point, the plot was interrupted, and then a spectacular cosmic scene followed, and the writing was still plain and rigorous, and the style was still extremely moving, but the description of the spectacular cosmic war made Gan Xin stunned all of a sudden
Is this a science fiction novel?
With incredibly complicated feelings, Gan Xin took a deep breath, then suppressed the surprise in her heart and read the rest of the articles in one go.
Then Gan Xin leaned back on the back of the sofa a little dizzy.
This is indeed a piece of science fiction
I have to say that Lin Yiming's excitement before was completely understandable. This is indeed a very good, very perfect novel. This point is impeccable even if Gan Xin stands from the perspective of an editor.
The "Rural Teacher" written by Govin is carried out in two main lines, one is the life trajectory of the rural teacher, and the other is the civilization inspection and prosperity of the carbon-based alliance. The plot about the rural teacher in the novel is extremely real and sensational, while the description of the cosmic civilization is extremely magnificent and cold.
Whether it is the plot of the rural teacher or the plot of the cosmic civilization, the average author cannot write so vividly and perfectly as Govin in terms of plot alone.
However, Govin not only wrote such two plots with very different literary styles, but also brought together these two completely different writing styles very naturally and harmoniously at the end of the novel, and finally formed this infectious and shocking novel.
Not to mention the "generous writing" describing the cosmic war, the consultative cosmic imagination, and the interstellar civilization that is as good as the real one, just the part of writing about rural teachers is enough to prove that Govine's writing has entered the level of domestic first-line writers, which is by no means comparable to local novels like Zhao Shuli
The storyline and details of the entire "Country Teacher" are very authentic and skillful, and the style of writing is also very plain and rigorous.
This style of writing not only makes people feel the ideological connotation expressed in the text strictly, but also the struggle between science and ignorance, the strictness and heaviness, which makes the work surpass ordinary science fiction.
In fact, Gan Xin has not read science fiction novels, but compared with Govine's science fiction novels, the artistic appeal and literary nature of other science fiction works are very rough, except for the imagination that attracts readers, there is basically no readability.
Therefore, science fiction has always brought Gan Xin the feeling of awe of science and the universe and the imagination of time and space.
But Gowen's "Country Teacher" is not the same, in addition to the wonderful and big imagination that ordinary science fiction novels can bring her, the momentum and shock of science fiction in this "Country Teacher" are really a great enjoyment, and they are really incomparable
And what amazed Gan Xin's heart the most was that
The emotional shock and resonance in is not only something she has never seen in other science fiction novels, but even ordinary pure literary novels have rarely seen it
It turns out that a good science fiction work can achieve such a program
It turns out that when the combination of cold and cold character skills and pure literature with warm pulses can give people such a shock
This is really a very good piece of literature
It's just"
Gan Xin smiled bitterly.
As an editor, Gan Xin naturally has an understanding of the current situation of science fiction, and naturally knows that because of the announcement of the national publishing department, many science fiction magazines have begun to rectify, and in the paper media in December, works related to science fiction have long disappeared, which is a big event in the Chinese periodical industry.
I didn't expect the novel that Govine was talking about turned out to be a work of science fiction
No wonder he thinks he can't make up his mind, no wonder he thinks he should ask the editor-in-chief's opinion, and he really can't be the master.
Gan Xin's heart was cleared, and then she raised her head and looked at Govyn, who was sitting not far from the sofa
Gewen was communicating something with Lin Yiming in a low voice, he had a faint smile on his face, his expression was quite peaceful, and his arm was wrapped around Lin Yiming's shoulder, very casually.
Bright sunlight was shining in from the window, dappled and dappled.
There was a dazzling beam of light, and visible dust could be clearly seen floating in the air. And the end of this beam hit the upper half of Govyn's body, and the brilliance was dazzling.
But in the corner of the sofa, because of the glare of the light, Gowen's lower body looked a little dull.
Yin and yang are uncertain, light and darkness resonate,,"
What kind of person is he? What was his heart like? What was he thinking?
Suddenly, Gan Xin's mind about the previous stage of the investigation against Govyn came to mind one by one
A song "One Generation" brought him the attention of the literary world for the first time, and some poetry lovers regarded him as a pioneer.
If it weren't for the current enlightened political atmosphere and the solidarity of the old-timers such as Ba Jin, Feng Youlan, and Qian Gurong, even if he himself used "Marxist Philosophy" to defend himself, perhaps this controversy would have made him like many people in the ten years of turmoil, and the criticism would have been miserably ignored
Finally, when this canon calmed down, he actually published "The Rising Poems", which is still continuing in the poetry world, once again put him in the focus of the canon, but fortunately, the series of articles on the rise of that great power has a good social repercussions, attracting more attention and attention for him.
But now he's writing abandoned science fiction again
I really don't know how this guy's head grows, why does he like tossing so much? Can't he live a plain and stable life like an ordinary writer?
For some reason, Gan Xin's mind suddenly remembered a manuscript that had been rejected by herself.
In the manuscript that commented that "the content of the article is novel and the plot is interesting, but the language is full of sick sentences, the words do not reach the meaning, and they need to be carefully revised", there is such a sick sentence
Half seawater, half flame!。
