Chapter 35: Many Birds with One Stone

No matter what, things still have to be done, and what should be said still has to be said, even if the result is bad and can't be done, but at least it has been done, not to mention that in the previous life, for this domestic debate, more than ten years later, there is still no male and female, and Yu Bai does not have to worry. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

Thinking of this, Yu Bai no longer had the initial hesitation and uneasiness in his heart.

He pushed the teacup in his hand a little inside, and after getting up, he bowed to the few people in front of him.

After a long time, I got up and spoke.

"All of you here are seniors, originally I was a junior and a latecomer, so I was not qualified to stand here and speak, but this matter started because of me, and several seniors also had quarrels because of it, whether it was misunderstanding or disdain, I didn't care, because I didn't think it was wrong to say so."

After Yu Bai finished speaking, he found that the eyes of several people turned to him, Qiu Xu wanted to speak and stopped, knowing that he still had something to say, so he continued to endure it.

"Since several seniors want to hear it, then I will tell me my opinion, my original intention." After Yu Bai finished speaking, he took a deep breath, and it was not until this moment that he found that there was an incense burner in this private room, and the incense of smoke in it was wafting, but it was mixed with the smell of smoke when he smelled it. Yu Bai also smokes, so he doesn't feel disgusted, but he feels that he is stimulated by the smell of smoke, and what has been brewing in his chest for a long time finally begins to move.

"Two months ago, I was just an ordinary person, an ordinary middle school student, and I didn't study very well. All day long is chatting with a few of my buddies, and I have a hobby while playing, which is writing. Then I saw an opportunity, an opportunity that would set me on an extraordinary path, and with the mentality of giving it a try, I submitted a new concept essay. Probably because I am a single parent, I chose the topic of seeking medical treatment in the semi-finals, aiming to write about some of the phenomena that accompanied me to see a doctor at the beginning, and of course, I myself occasionally went to the hospital. After successfully entering the finals, everything was so occasional and sudden, because of the game and the good friend I met suddenly fell ill, so I delayed the entry time of the game, fortunately, there was Lin Fangqing at that time, otherwise even if I had great ability, I would not be able to write "Peep in the Rain". ”

Speaking of this, Xu Fei is the most empathetic, because he is the reviewer who accompanied him all the way from the preliminary round to the finals.

Not only him, Qian Dexu actually heard Xu Fei's old friend more or less talk about Yu Bai, while admiring Yu Bai's magical experience, and admiring Lin Fangqing's generosity and insight at that time.

"Then, I submitted to Hanabi magazine, a collection of essays I wrote in high school. This is where the story seems to have started, when Hanako magazine introduced me to Wang Tansheng, the editor-in-chief of the Changsam Literary Publishing House at the time, who said that he wanted to publish a collection of my essays. At that time, Brother Wang didn't say a word, and ran from Changshan City to Qiaoping County, and Brother Wang and I hit it off at first sight and had a very happy conversation. After that, as everyone knows, "Scarlet Years" and "Triple Gate" have been remarkable in terms of sales and evaluation since their publication. But there is a good saying, it is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years. Of course, that person has been waiting for twenty years, and yes, I want to talk about Cao Qianchen, a person I mentioned in Literature. ”

As soon as he heard Yu Bai talk about Cao Qianchen, not only Xu Fei and Qian Dexu turned sideways, but even Qiu Xu smoked a cigarette and listened carefully in silence.

"I think Mr. Xu and Editor-in-Chief Qian should still remember that time, and made a joint statement of support for me in the newspapers and magazines. That's right, it was Cao Qianchen's first shot, if not so many people stood up at that time, perhaps, Yu Bai's name would have disappeared from everyone's field of vision. And Brother Wang's publishing house may have closed its doors long ago. survived that difficulty, I thought that everything would be smooth sailing, but who knew that Cao Qianchen still had a backhand. Collusion with Brother Wang, I am afraid that everyone in the industry has heard of the case of "Memoirs of Northern Autumn", the review of this book was a manuscript, and the publication was another manuscript. This matter was almost done by a person under Brother Wang who had followed him for many years, and this was bought by Cao Qianchen, as for the reason, it was because he gambled and owed a huge amount of money, and Cao Qianchen said that he would pay off his debts. ”

When things developed to this point, everyone sitting there opened their eyes wide, because Wang Tansheng committed the crime at that time, and many people in the industry were shocked.

Because in the publishing world, who doesn't know that that kind of book is taboo, even if they have to find another way, they will not go down that road.

Although everyone speculated wildly, Wang Tansheng confessed, and no one said anything else, but he felt that he was old and confused.

Yu Bai smiled dumbly, "Brother Wang, in order not to implicate the person under his hand, coupled with his personal grudge with Cao Qianchen, he decided not to appeal or overturn the case." Although he didn't tell me why he did it at the time, I could probably guess some. Whether it was his grievances with Cao Qianchen or the gambling debts of the person under him, he wanted to use this way to understand. And the price of doing it is to waste all the business he currently has. ”

Exhaled a sullen breath, the words that had been held in my heart for a long time were now spoken, and even Yu Bai himself couldn't figure out what it was like, thinking that it would be better to say it and let others know the reason, but in the end, I found that sometimes memories themselves are a kind of pain.

"Okay, here, I can't figure it out, why Cao Qianchen can do whatever he wants, why should Brother Wang carry all this himself. Speaking of which, this is one of the original intentions of my writing literature, from the beginning when I was almost forced by him to write a book, I knew that the literary world has been muddy by these businessmen who do not know right and wrong, making the already crumbling literary world even more hopeless. In addition, after the release of my "Triple Gate", many old-timers kept criticizing me, accusing me, and saying things like and such things about me. Actually, I never blame them, but there is an indisputable fact, that is, my book sells very well, but on the other hand, those literary magazines and newspapers, or traditional literary novels, how many of them sell well? ”

Yu Bai really stopped a few people when he asked.

Qian Dexu did not say that although his People's Daily was not as good as before, it had subscriptions from enterprises and a mass base, and it was not affected much.

But Xu Fei listened and nodded again and again, because he went to write in his spare time, and writing books was not to make extra money, but he just wanted to write a few books that reflected social problems, but the sales were not very good.

As for He Qing, he is from the TV station, although he doesn't have much feeling about these, he has a lot of friends, and he has heard of the sluggish market.

And Qiu Xu just kept his face strained and didn't say a word.

Because as Yu Bai said, traditional literature has declined, and his literary newspaper will soon face the end of withdrawal.

"In other words, what writer will calm down, observe what the current society is like, and write something practical, not something that praises virtue, let alone something on paper, or let them show off how much of their writing and how much they have to show off their climactic writing style and sentence structure, is there?"

"Or, have they thought about how to compromise with the times?"

Yu Bai's three questions, like three powerful fists, smashed violently in front of several people, and even more violently smashed into their hearts.

"In fact, it's not that those old-timers can't write well, it's just that they don't recognize one thing clearly, that is, the current society. They don't understand what the market needs right now. Reflecting society is a responsibility, but at the same time, integrating needs is an element. Neither is possible without one of the two. That's the second reason why I wrote literature is dead. ”

After speaking, Yu Bai felt that he was a little exaggerated, what he said was all simple things, all things he thought and thought, and the real problems may be far more than these.

But now that the emotions are here, the words that are said run out of their mouths uncontrollably.

"Boy, I took the liberty of saying a few words, and I asked a few seniors to include it." After Yu Bai finished speaking, he bowed again, which was counted as an accusation.

If Yu Bai's most open appearance made a few people hesitate, then when he said this, even the most useless Qiu Xu pondered.

But far more than after sitting down, it was not Qiu Xu who spoke first, nor Qian Dexu and Xu Fei, but He Qing of Beijing TV, who had never spoken a word from beginning to end.

I saw He Qing shoot the case, and said to Yu Bai, "Okay, very good, Yu Bai, you are really young and promising." Originally, Lao Qian asked me to come over, but I was still a little hesitant. Although I work in a different circle from yours, I also came out of that place, in fact, I also have my own responsibility for the Chinese literary world. Who doesn't want their country's things to get better and better, although our China is strong, but the inner things are becoming more and more scarce, this is a point that has to be admitted. ”

After He Qing finished speaking, he said to Qian Dexu, "What you proposed to me before was to find a few people who oppose it to do a live broadcast on the TV station, I think it is completely feasible, because I think Yu Bai has the ability." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, although Yu Bai didn't understand too much, Qiu Xu spoke.

It's just that this time he is not against it, but a little worried, after all, if this thing is done well, maybe it can really boost the sales of literary journals, which is also good for him.

"Wouldn't that be too hasty? Besides, I just said that I was looking for Mr. Qi, if it was him, I'm afraid I would have to call him a senior and let him go to the ring with Yu Bai, can it work? Besides, there are others. ”

Hearing Qiu Xu say this, He Qing laughed and waved his hand.

"Old Qiu, now you don't have the bearing to scold Fang Xuan just now." This teasing made Qiu Xu's face blush, and He Qing's purpose was naturally not to mock him, but to explain, "I not only want to invite Mr. Qi over, but I also invite a few professors and experts from Bedin University, as well as several editors-in-chief of magazines, and maybe a few writers......"

Before He Qing finished speaking, Fang Shilin, the editor-in-chief of Youth Digest, interrupted him.

"Will Lao He go too far, which of those people is not eloquent, and which one is not like a spring, if you really let Yu Bai deal with it alone, I'm afraid it won't work." Although Fang Shilin did not say a few words in the controversy just now, his status is beyond doubt, because Youth Digest is one of the few literary journals that has opened up sales.

He Qing smiled mysteriously when he heard this, "As everyone thinks at the moment, is Yu Bai okay?" He's just a new best-selling author, he's just a hairy kid, it's not enough to deal with one or two people, and when the time comes, how will he answer, how to respond, how to persuade. Now, what I'm going to say is that the show wants this effect. ”

His words surprised everyone again, including Yu Bai.

Because he couldn't have imagined that this He Qing in front of him would have such courage and heart to dare to let himself do such an uncertain thing alone.

"For the sake of the show, isn't it a little too ......" Xu Fei's words were not finished, but he obviously didn't support it much.

"Lao Xu, I am the director of the TV station firstly, and secondly, we are friends, so this time I made an exception to add an interstitial program. From the venue equipment to the host's field affairs, I have to go to Zhang Luo. Naturally, I want to do it on the premise of ensuring ratings, of course, I can also achieve an effect by doing this, that is, I can make more people pay attention to Yu Bai, pay attention to literature, and pay attention to the already sluggish literary market. ”
