Because of the help of his fourth uncle, Gu Yiling and Lu Xiaoruo's interview was not limited at all, they all took into account the messy ordeal when they came, but they didn't expect it to go so smoothly in the end, a little unhappy, they didn't have to play, Gu Yiling and Lu Xiaoruo thought at the same time. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
When I arrived, there were already many people in the hall, a few people around each table, everyone was in groups of three or five, and there were about a dozen tables, just now at Lu Xiaoruo's fourth uncle, Gu Yiling and they learned that this writers' association has more than 300 registered personnel, and today is a regular meeting to discuss, and there are more than 100 people here.
These writers usually like to be alone, and only at this time will they discuss their work with others, but most writers have a lot of self-esteem, so how to speak is also a science.
Gu Yiling and Lu Xiaoruo acted together, Lu Xiaoruo was holding a copy of "Single Marriage" in her hand, she had already read it in general in the car before, and found that it was really an interesting book. They first found a small group of several ladies, there were six, looking at the appearance, a gray-haired old man should be the leader inside, and they stepped forward to say hello.
"Hello, may I ask the famous Gong Lao, Zhang Haixin writer, Qiao Yi writer, Hong Rui writer, He Yuan writer and Jiang Zhilin writer?" Gu Yiling greeted each other, which first attracted their attention.
"You know them all?" Lu Xiaoruo whispered into his ear and asked, probably surprised.
"You don't see what I'm doing." Gu Yiling showed a confident smile, this smile was so dazzling that Lu Xiaoruo deeply believed that Gu Yiling with such a smile was invincible in the world.
"May I ask who you are?" Jiang Zhilin, the youngest of the six, asked questions, Gu Yiling smiled slightly, "I am Gu Yiling, the editor-in-chief of Today's Sunshine Magazine, and this is my editor next to me. ”
"Sunshine Magazine? Gu Yiling? Jiang Zhilin was a little surprised, Today's Sunshine Magazine is also a little famous in Dream City, I heard that it is known for its rigorous attitude, does not tell nonsense, and does not spread rumors, plus they will always write a story or two ghosts and bizarre stories in it, so that people who don't like to read it will also feel some interest, although it is no longer the era of paper books, but there is still a place, which is not simple.
However, what surprised Jiang Zhilin even more was that this editor-in-chief Gu looked at most thirty years old, quite young, today's Sunshine Magazine was opened ten years ago, and this editor-in-chief looked a little handsome, but his clothes were really unkempt, although he smiled all the time, but for some reason Jiang Zhilin felt that he was a little fake, but he had a somewhat daunting feeling.
"I don't know what Editor-in-Chief Gu has to do with our group of old people who don't care about anything, first of all, there is no need to talk about gossip or something." The upper old man, Mrs. Gong spoke, her weight was very heavy, and several people present nodded.
Gu Yiling couldn't help but sigh in her heart that this old man was so clear, thinking that they might have come because of Zhang Xiaohui's matter, and said hello in advance, so as not to ask, but, that's it, Gu Yiling guessed that she should have an intersection with Zhang Xiaohui, and she knew a lot about things, and she knew a lot, maybe she could break through from her, but it was a little more difficult, she looked at Lu Xiaoruo, Lu Xiaoruo pinched her mouth and hid behind him, she almost heard Gong Lao's words, and was thinking about what to do.
"Oh, of course." Kind words and superficial words must be said in the front, most writers are sensitive to words and words, this has to be said by coincidence, "My editor, has been writing recently, but you don't know that she has not been good at liberal arts since she was a child, and she is not a graduate of a formal literary college when she grows up, and her writing is not generally poor, can I let her communicate with you, I think I have benefited a lot from your guidance, and secondly, I also want to understand what writing is like in the life of a great writer." ”
Gu Yiling looked at Gong Lao, Gong Lao picked up the crutch on the side and knocked on the chair next to him, the person in the chair left automatically, Gong Lao said, "Sit down." ”
Two people in one seat, who sits? Gu Yiling and Lu Xiaoruo's hearts were quickly calculating, and they were also thinking about Gong Lao's intentions, and in the end, Lu Xiaoruo sat sideways in the seat, she sat upright, just like a student meeting a teacher, Gu Yiling squinted slightly and did not stop it, she seemed to have a plan in her heart.
"Hello Gong Lao, I'm Editor Lu of Today's Sunshine." Lu Xiaoruo opened a notebook as she spoke, Gong Lao paid attention to her movements, her seemingly cloudy eyes, but they were as clear as water,
"Please." Gong Lao said.
"Gong Lao, I am a writing editor, and I also write some articles, and in a recent magazine I wrote a little story about the strange story of the mountain, I don't know how to write it, some of which need to be consulted." Lu Xiaoruo said and opened the original manuscript he carried with him, and handed it over respectfully, but Gong Lao didn't take it, and Jiang Zhilin, who was beside him, took it and looked at it carefully.
"Your own feelings are much worse than others, please forgive me if we say it seriously, after all, for people like us, there is no sand in the eyes of bad works."
"I know." Lu Xiaoruo replied.
The story is very short, about two thousand words, and finally Jiang Zhilin whispered something in Gong Lao's ear, Gong Lao nodded when he heard this, took it, took it with him, took his reading glasses, looked at it, and finally looked up, "Essay pen, on decoration, very poor." ”
said it so directly, Lu Xiaoruo didn't say a word to refute it, just waited for Gong Lao to continue, "The story is good, but it's a pity that you can't grasp it, to be honest, you're not suitable for writing, no, you may be suitable for saying, do something meaningful, don't do useless work." ”
Lu Xiaoruo smiled and took notes, "What Gong Lao said is that I also think so, some people must do what they are good at, if you don't do it well now, you may not be able to do it well in the future, and if you take some detours, you may get more." ”
Gong Lao nodded again and again, thinking that it was the right thing to say that she could say, Lu Xiaoruo smiled, and then said, "But what can I do, I'm thinking, I probably won't do it now and probably won't do it in the future, it's really sad that I haven't been able to try it all my life, I have looked up to the sky, thinking about where I will be in the future, what kind of life I will live, if I get married and have children until I am old, what kind of legend should there be in the middle, I have done a lot of things at my fingertips, and I have won countless honors, but what does all this mean to me, I can succeed only if I am suitable for it, not that I can overcome it, so what if I fail now, in a year, ten years, twenty years, maybe I will succeed one day, and I will be an editor for 20 years, and maybe someone will call me a Lu writer in the future. Lu Xiaoruo was always smiling, she felt happy, she hadn't told anyone why a person studying science would escape all favorable conditions to do such a thing as writing, which was contrary to her, not only because Gu Yiling was there, but also because she wanted to be herself, a person who had to run around in the night, and wanted to become a brand new person who only belonged to herself during the day.
Jiang Zhilin was also a little surprised, doing the opposite of her own ability, just to challenge? The stakes are high, but the courage is commendable.
Gong Lao was also a little speechless, and expressed his silence, Gu Yiling raised his arms, his eyes became complicated, Lu Xiaoruo has never been a child, she has known since she was very young, every step she takes, walking in the direction she likes, this is one of the gains from coming here today.
"Actually, what I'm talking about is from this book." Lu Xiaoruo held up Zhang Xiaohui's "Single Marriage", there was a light in his eyes, maybe he could break through, just wait to say it......
