Chapter 106: The Wind
"What's so good about this, just now Song Lao told me that my book has been drafted, and it is estimated that there are some similar words in it......" Although he said so, Yu Zheng still opened the envelope directly. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
There was a letter inside, but I didn't see the postal remittance slip that came with it.
This made Yu Zheng a little strange, after opening the letter and reading it, he realized that it was because his writing was too long, and it took time for the magazine to count the number of words, so the specific manuscript fee would be sent with the letter after his novel was officially published.
"Fortunately, Xiaoqing's sister-in-law borrowed a sum of money from me, otherwise my plan would definitely be delayed again......" Yu Zheng was still a little disappointed after reading the letter, but it was not big, after all, his original intention in writing this book was only to prepare a start-up capital for his plan, but now that the start-up funding problem has been solved, it doesn't matter if the money arrives later.
So, after reading the letter, Yu Zheng laughed.
"I said, it's very simple to inform me that my novel will be serialized in Harvest from the next issue, and there are also text messages from three editors of Harvest magazine, who say they like my book......"
gave the letter directly to Song Wanqing, and Yu Zheng also said the content of the letter, and there was nothing special about it.
Li Guozheng sat a little stiffly on the sofa, and before coming in, Yu Zheng had already told him that Song Wanqing was the granddaughter of Song Lao, and that Song Lao's name was of course known as a Mizhou native.
With such a character, it is impossible for him to be unrestrained and not nervous, although from the time he entered the house to the present, he has not said a word, even when he has a question mark with Song Lao, he is also stammering, even if he finds that the rumored Song Lao has no shelf at all, and he is quite kind, but he can't relax.
After Song Wanqing read the letter that Yu Zheng gave her, Yu Zheng gave it to her friend, and said with a smile: "I didn't lie to you, right?" I actually wrote a novel and submitted it. ”
Li Guozheng just read it casually, but he remembered that the name of the book was "The Criminal Officer of the Great Song Dynasty", and he didn't remember much about the other contents.
casually agreed, and didn't say anything else.
"By the way, what were you talking about? What new book ideas? ”
Song Wanqing seemed to remember something, and suddenly asked a few people, and then looked at Yu Zheng, from the chat between her grandfather and Yu Zheng just now, she could deduce that it seemed that her grandfather was asking about Yu Zheng's new book.
Song Lao also nodded.
"Just now I asked your classmate if he had any ideas for a new book, and he was interrupted by you just halfway through......"
"yes......"
Listening to what her grandfather said, Song Wanqing was also not good, and they all stuck out their tongues: "It's all my fault, then Yu Zheng, tell me again, I'm also very curious, I'm your book fan now......"
"Actually, it's not a ......."
Hearing this, Yu Zheng smiled and said, "...... I told Song Lao before that it was Agatha's "No One Survived" that inspired me......" Saying that, Yu Zheng looked at Song Wanqing and Li Guozheng and asked, "...... you have watched "No Survivors", right?" ”
"I've seen the movie." Li Guozheng nodded a little stiffly, this movie is very famous in China, it is often broadcast on TV, and there are quite a lot of people who have seen it in this era.
And Song Wanqing also nodded with a smile and said, "I've read it, I've read a lot of Agatha's books!" ”
"You've seen it, I'll say it, I really like this kind of 'Blizzard Villa-style' speculative novel structure......" Yu Zheng's words were just halfway through, and saw that Song Wanqing and Li Guozheng's faces showed puzzled looks, and they immediately understood that they might not understand what they were talking about 'Blizzard Villa-style'.
"Old Song, I'll explain it to them first......"
I told Song Lao just now, but Song Lao understood, Yu Zheng asked, he smiled, and signaled him to just do it.
“…… If you've all read "No One Survives", it's actually quite easy to understand, this mode is also called the island mode in mystery novels, in fact, it is a closed area, there is no way to contact the outside world and there is no way to leave, a group of people gather in such an environment, it may be a mountain villa isolated by a blizzard, or it can be like the isolated island that Agatha wrote in the book, something happens......"
After Yu Zheng's simple explanation, Li Guozheng and Song Wanqing also understood what Yu Zheng meant.
After all, with "No One Left Alive" for reference, it is not too difficult to understand such a speculative novel model.
After seeing that everyone understood, Yu Zheng smiled and continued: "...... My story is such a structure, I haven't thought about the specific plot yet, it can only be regarded as an idea of a major change, and it has not yet been decided when I will start writing, and the big change is during the Anti-Japanese War......"
Yu Zheng next wanted to copy a book.
It's Mai Jia's "The Wind", this book is a novel published in "People's Literature" in 07, although in 07 "People's Literature" has long been less than it is now, and commercial novels are often published.
However, an entire issue of the magazine only published this one novel.
It is the first time in the decades since the founding of "People's Literature", and this spy war mystery novel is indeed excellently written, and later the book won the Ba Jin Literature Award.
The limelight is unbeatable for a while.
After listening to Yu Zheng's brief description, Song Wanqing and Li Guozheng were still confused, while Song Lao nodded, and he said with some regret: "It would be good if you wrote this book first, this year happens to be the 40th anniversary of the victory of the War of Resistance Against Japan, and the central government is also trying to improve relations with the other side, it is said that now it is making a movie that reflects the anti-Japanese resistance on the other side, what is it called "The ...... of the Bloody Battle in the Tez District"
"It's nothing, I can write it whenever I have it in mind." Yu Zheng smiled and said, "And the speed at which I write the book is very fast, for example, it took less than a month from the conception to the completion of "The Criminal Officer of the Great Song Dynasty......"
In this regard, even Song Lao nodded.
He was also amazed at why Yu Zheng was able to write so quickly, didn't he need to conceive and draft books to write books?
In fact, no matter what he thought, he would never have thought that Yu Zheng actually copied it.
When she left Song Wanqing's house, Song Wanqing also planned to go to Wei'an with her.
"We're not here to play, we're going to get down to business." Yu Zheng frowned, he saw Song Wanqing's elated appearance, and at first glance, he didn't plan to do anything with him.
And Song Wanqing is indeed planning to go to Wei'an to play.
Yu Zheng's face turned red when she was told by her, but she immediately refused to admit it: "Who said that I went to play, you have to go to Wei'an to see the address of the store, I also have shares in this store, and my shares are still the most!" Why can't I go! ”
Song Wanqing said this very reasonably, and Yu Zheng had no way to refute it at all, so he had to say: "Okay, if you want to go, you can go together, but don't be bored and come back when the time comes." ”
"No......"
Song Wanqing snorted, and at the same time muttered something quietly in her mouth.
