Those eyes came from Zhang Xue. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Although it is a very popular and feminine name, Zhang Xue is indeed a pure man.

Moreover, he is also a well-known author of horror and suspense novels.

Among the authors praised by the early "Budding" magazine, he can be regarded as one of the people with the strongest ability to control the article, and he has also set a miracle of selling 500,000 copies of a single book. But in recent years, as the publication of horror and suspense novels has shrunk, readers have stopped pursuing this type of novel, and Zhang Xue's popularity has also declined sharply, and she has become a nominal celebrity.

But in the name, Zhang Xue is naturally a fierce general that "Budmeng" magazine must pay attention to. Especially in today's period of high development of "Budding Magazine", he has to attend a series of activities from time to time to promote some new authors, so that they can be appreciated by some editors and make a name for themselves.

In most cases, Zhang Xue is still relatively nice, after all, these rookie writers can't threaten their status for a while, but Zheng Long's popularity is simply faster than that of a rocket. Since he successfully captured the hearts of many writers' association leaders with a song "In the Mirror" last night, and now with Master Zhang's appreciation, I am afraid that his popularity is approaching him, and it is only a matter of minutes.

In case "Bud" magazine changes to praise Zheng Long instead of himself, wouldn't his status as a brother be guaranteed? As soon as she thought of this, Zhang Xue was so angry that her teeth itched, and the fists in her hands were gently clenched.

"What a kid who doesn't know how thick the sky is, hehe."

Of course, this hideous expression only lasted for a minute on Zhang Xue's face before disappearing, because the layout of the venue had basically ended, and the staff had begun to guide the readers of this exchange meeting to re-enter the venue. The readers of this exchange meeting are not as many as those of Master Zhang, because they are biased towards the exchange meeting within the industry, and most of the readers are also from within the writer's circle, so they only sit in the front rows.

Zhang Xue sat on the judges' bench and greeted several familiar editors and authors.

Hu Future and August Ren also sat on the judges' bench. In addition, there are Liu Jiamei and others, and one or two writers who do not belong to the "Budding" department were also invited.

After the readers and young authors attended, Hu Future began to speak:

"As you all know, the purpose of our magazine is to train young writers. Since its inception, many well-known writers have started from our magazine, and it can be said that our magazine is one of the few magazines in China with the goal of cultivating literary seedlings..."

Many young readers in the audience listened patiently, although Hu Future's speech could only be regarded as decent, and there was nothing new, but because he said it very sincerely, and many authors usually received his guidance and help, everyone listened with pleasure and convincing.

"Today we mainly want to be here to let people evaluate each other's works. We mainly invited a few of our senior brothers and sisters to come here to help you take the pulse of your article. Of course, there is no first, and the opinions of the judges are just the words of one family, if there are any bad words, everyone should not take it too seriously..."

The laughter of everyone in the audience was very embarrassing, after all, for literary youth, their manuscripts are like their own children, they can't stand the cynicism of others, and they cherish themselves.

And it is the first time for everyone to participate in such an event, so naturally they also want to test their articles, how well they are written, and whether they are suitable to take the road of literature full-time in the future.

"Without further ado, let's start with the mutual evaluation now. Our judges have read the essays you have submitted beforehand, one is a novel and one is an essay. It's all random, so who reads whose article can't be decided in advance. Moreover, we will not say who wrote the article here, and you judges should not spoil it during the judging process! ”

Hu Fufu looked meaningfully at the judges sitting above, Liu Jiamei and Zhang Xue nodded one after another...

"The so-called mutual evaluation, of course, is not a one-way street. After the judges have commented on each other's works, we will also let everyone look at each other's works on the spot, and of course this process is also anonymous. Half an hour later, we'll ask you to share your thoughts on what you've read, and of course, the rules are the same as just now, so please don't spoil them! ”

Everyone nodded yes.

The article submitted by Zheng Long is the short story of "Phantom City". In fact, Guo Mingming was also there first

The short story of "Phantom City" was first published in the magazine "Sprout", and then it was expanded into a full-length novel. Therefore, this short story should also be said to reflect its early strength. As for the prose part, Zheng Long handed over the article "If there is no sun tomorrow".

He's a little nervous... I always felt like there was a strange pair of eyes staring at me somewhere.

Sure enough, at the beginning of the mutual evaluation meeting, it seemed to have a strong smell of gunpowder.

After all, since ancient times, literati have been inferior to each other, and this is not a matter of one or two days. Because of the differences in literary style, personality, lifestyle, and earning ability, it is common for literati to look at each other unpleasantly. In particular, the suppression of new authors by famous authors is also a common problem.

However, at the beginning, several judges were quite polite, especially Hu Futures and August Ren

After all, these editors have to take into account the feelings of these authors, otherwise they may not be able to get their manuscripts in the future.

The problem lies with Liu Jiamei and Zhang Xue.

Liu Jiamei didn't know what was going on, as if she had come to her aunt, and criticized the manuscript in her hand at the beginning:

"I spent the whole night reading this novel last night and found out that I was really wasting my time. This novel does not understand several elements of the novel at all, the characters are not clearly portrayed, and the plot is not visible at all, and some are just moaning without illness. The author seems to want to imitate the stream-of-consciousness way of writing, but without the superb skills and layout skills of the stream-of-consciousness author, the whole novel seems very lame, completely imitating Marquez and Calvino, but like a schoolboy's tone... My conclusion is that I won't comment on this manuscript because it doesn't have the 'smell' that a novel should have, and it's not worth reading. ”

After that, the whole venue was silent, and everyone was silent.

Hu Future hurriedly made a round and said:

"Miss Liu is also more serious, after all, these authors are still fledgling authors, and it is inevitable that some of the characteristics and methods of writing are relatively unfamiliar, after all, there should be some merits in this novel, Jiamei, do you think there is anything desirable in this novel?"

Liu Jiamei said categorically:

"Nope."

It's embarrassing...

The atmosphere of the whole venue was almost like an explosion. And Zheng Long secretly swept to the side, and found that Li Yaoce's face was very unsightly, and his face was blue and white for a while...

Could it be his manuscript?

Hu Future also looked very helpless, originally wanted to give a step down, but he didn't expect Liu Jiamei to be so unflattering

Son, it's okay now, just make a big break and let the judges spit out everything they want to say.

"Good! Jiamei has made a good start for us, after all, our magazine is not to let everyone say hello and I get better, but to let everyone really improve their writing ability, otherwise it is meaningless for us to hold this meeting today. Next, we asked Zhang Xue to give us a review of the novels he read. Zhang Xue is also a veteran author of our magazine, and he can be regarded as your direct brother, and his suspense series has created a sales myth in China! Okay, let's ask Senior Brother Zhang Xue to comment..."

was probably hit by Liu Jiamei's poisonous snake just now, and this time the welcome to Zhang Xue was not as lively as Fang Cai, just some sparse applause...
