Chapter 20: Literature Is Dead
Yu Bai, who returned to his residence that night, lost the excitement and excitement of his first arrival in Changsam City, because he had been whipped by the bloody reality. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Lying on the bed, looking at the bright and stiff light, Yu Bai didn't even feel its dazzling and scorching eyes at all. Because he wanted that halo of light to invade a glimmer of light into his stiff mind, and that's it.
"Buzz ......"
The sound of the mobile phone vibrating came, and Yu Bai knew that it was Zhao Xueman calling, this time he didn't hang up directly like on the way back, but picked it up, put the phone to his ear, and still looked at the light overhead.
"Yu Bai! What the hell is going on, you hung up the phone five times, you should explain the reason to me, otherwise I won't be able to spare you. Zhao Xueman's voice came from the phone, and Yu Bai, who was already irritable, was even more annoyed when she heard her scolding. Although he didn't hear any blame from these words, even the last one that can't spare you is a playful tone.
Yu Bai knew that she wanted to comfort her, but he really didn't have the mind now, let alone the energy.
"Don't make a fuss, I'm tired after a busy day." Yu Bai's tone was dull and abnormal.
Faced with this abnormal situation, Zhao Xueman could naturally feel it, and immediately asked with concern, "What's wrong, nothing happened to you over there, right?" Listen to you and sigh. ”
Yu Bai knows very well that as long as she says it, she will definitely do everything possible to comfort herself and enlighten herself.
But what did he want? Moreover, this did not play a role in addition to making Zhao Xueman worry together.
Therefore, Yu Bai rejected her kindness.
"No, I'm fine, I'm just tired."
"Oh, so, that...... You just have to rest early. ”
Yu Bai knew that she was reluctant to say this, and she also knew that she wanted to share her sorrows, but her thoughts turned and she nodded, "Well, okay." ”
Hanging up the phone, Yu Bai's whole person was even more irritable than just now, because even he couldn't figure out what he did.
Because he was thinking about his big brother Wang Tansheng over and over again, and the last words he said.
"Brother Yu Bai, this time I dragged you down, it is very likely that from now on, you will never be able to write a book again, and no publishing house will be willing to ask for your manuscript, maybe it will be banned by the publishing industry, and the media will even give you a big hat, so my brother wants to say sorry to you here."
"Brother, what are you talking about? How did things get to this point? ”
"Why not, to tell you the truth, I didn't have much hope this time, because the other party didn't even leave me a crack at all, I'm afraid that in a few days, this old guy who has been with me for many years will also leave me."
"We should still have a chance, right?"
……
Looking at the back of Wang Tansheng leaving at the end, Yu Bai understood that the old guy in his mouth was this publishing house.
He said that he had a chance, but he didn't even have the confidence to say it.
As Wang Tansheng said, many things have become established facts.
Nothing could be more devastating than the fact that all the ways of the publishing house have been blocked by the other party, the media has defected, the printing house has suspended cooperation, the bookseller has canceled orders, and even the hope of a comeback is about to be blocked.
But is that really the case?
Yu Bai is unwilling, very unwilling!
It is said that the revolution has not yet succeeded, and the comrade still needs to work hard, and he is working hard, but a big mountain has appeared in front of him, blocking all the way and blocking all the methods of hard work.
What could be more frustrating?
I'm afraid not.
Pulling the curtain open and looking at the night in front of him and the lit Changsam City, Yu Bai only felt strange, this world is strange, this city is strange, and even everything that has happened these days is strange.
And Yu Bai's mind also echoed with Wang Tansheng's last few words.
"Dude is here to say sorry to you......"
Looking at the night, Yu Bai's eyes did not focus in the slightest, and he muttered to himself: I am going to be blocked, no one will read my book anymore, no one will ask for my manuscript, I ...... I can't write novels anymore, the world isn't real, it's not real......
This thought became more and more prevalent, and it became more and more crazy to occupy Yu Bai's thoughts, until a rapid mobile phone ringtone rang, which interrupted Yu Bai's conjecture.
At the same time, in the dark night sky in the distance, there were several flickering and moving lights, which appeared in Yu Bai's sight.
Picking up the phone, Yu Bai's consciousness was empty, and his movements were completely subconscious.
"Yu Bai...... I'm sorry, I didn't mean to kill you just now, I wasn't really angry with you, don't you treat me like this, I'm really worried about you......"
It's Zhao Xueman...... He didn't know that she would call again, and he didn't know what she was thinking during the time she hung up the phone, but there was no doubt that Zhao Xueman was really sincerely apologizing at the moment, apologizing for being worthless just now, and even being seen through by Yu Bai's coquettish anger, just for fear of adding even a little burden to Yu Bai's troubled mood.
In the blink of an eye, the flickering of the night sky in the distance was getting closer, closer and closer......
Is it an airplane......
The loud sound of the engine seemed to drown out all the hustle and bustle of the city in Yu Bai Erfat.
But the strange thing is that he didn't cover it up at all, and Zhao Xueman on the other end of the phone was cautiously narrating.
As if awakened by the sound of a whistling airplane, and as if moved by Zhao Xueman's sincerity, Yu Bai's stiff thinking suddenly became active.
"Blocked...... No one wants to read my books...... No one wants my manuscript...... Hehe, that's ridiculous. really responded to that sentence, literature is dead, and there is something to burn paper. Chinese literature is dragged into the hands of such a group of indiscriminate media people, critics, businessmen, and traditional scholars, and only if you don't die! ”
For a moment, even Yu Bai himself was stunned by what he had just thought!
It seems that he suddenly thought of something, but because it was a fleeting thought, the more he thought about it, the more he couldn't grasp it!
What did I just say?
At this moment, the plane passed by, and Zhao Xueman's voice in his ears became clearer and clearer.
"Yu Bai, don't scare me, I was really just joking just now, you won't be angry, right? Say something! Are you listening, dead man, believe it or not I'm dying to show you......"
"Don't worry, Xue Man, what did you just say?" Yu Bai heard Zhao Xueman's voice and asked urgently.
"Hehe, you're finally willing to speak, I was shocked, I thought you were doing." Zhao Xueman's joyful tone at the moment was much happier than the eagerness just now, and he didn't notice Yu Bai's question at all.
So Yu Bai asked again, "Let me ask you, what did you say just now?" ”
"What did I just say? Are you okay. ”
"Shhh Let me ask you, what are you talking about, just the first two sentences? ”
It was only then that Zhao Xueman reacted and recalled what he had said, "The first two sentences...... You scared me? ”
"No, no, it's still the front, the previous sentence!" As if he was about to find an answer, Yu Bai couldn't help himself with excitement.
"Also ahead...... I seem to be saying, believe it or not, I'll die to show you. Ah! Yu Bai, you bastard, do you want me to die, how can you ...... like this"
"Haha! Yes, that's it, I love you to death. ”
Zhao Xueman, who was annoyed, was a little stunned before she could scold for two sentences, because she obviously didn't understand what Yu Bai was doing on the other end of the phone.
"Are you stupid?"
"No, I'm smart. By the way, I didn't expect you to die, because I thought of an opportunity for me to turn over! Speaking of this, Yu Bai's mood has obviously turned around, and he has become more talkative.
And Zhao Xueman, who had followed Yu Bai through a mental journey without knowing it, still didn't keep up with the rhythm, and asked a little confusedly, "What are you talking about?" What are the chances of turning over? ”
"It's okay, I just dreamed, but now I'm waking up from a dream, besides, thank you, I love you."
"Oh, what are you talking about at night?"
……
After hanging up the phone, Yu Bai is much more confident at the moment than the decadence just now, in fact, sometimes this is the case, a person's mentality can affect many things, and it can also affect many things.
At this moment, looking at the night and lights outside, Yu Bai only felt that the wireless was beautiful, and this world was so real, the breeze blew, and he felt its temples, Yu Bai said in a low voice.
"Literature is dead! This bombshell that shocked the Chinese literary world in his previous life will be detonated by him. ”
