() In the Yanhuang Empire, it was a very strict thing to accept apprentices. The ancient saying of 'Heaven and Earth Monarch Teacher' can also illustrate the importance of 'teacher' to a person. Before accepting apprentices, it is naturally normal for the master to test the apprentices.

As a master who has now retired from the entertainment and literary world, there are many people who want to worship him as a teacher. It's just that those who know this master know that Qiao Yan's requirements for choosing an apprentice are very demanding. Many times, people who want to apprentice will be rejected.

In fact, Yu Wenle, who was taking Qiao Yan's school examination, didn't know. At the beginning, Cui Wenying felt that he should find a good mentor for him to guide him in his knowledge of literary creation and music creation, so he chose his friend Qiao Yan.

Because of Cui Wenying's recommendation, Qiao Yan didn't refuse, but just said that he needed to observe it carefully. For more than a year, Qiao Yan has paid attention to Yu Wenle's novels and music works, even if he is afraid of Wenle's studies.

In short, Qiao Yan came to Cui's house today, more for Wenle's last inspection. If Yu Wenle's answer made Qiao Yan feel satisfied. Qiao Yan also decided to treat Wenle as a closed disciple.

The people sitting on the side did not make a noise to disturb the teacher's examination of the students before this kind of apprenticeship. As witnesses of this apprenticeship examination, if they have achieved something in Bunraku in the future, they can also get a piece of light.

Even Yu Rong, who is a father, also knows how glorious it is for his son to become Qiao Yan's apprentice. After all, Qiao Yan was in the Yanhuang Empire, and he was a master who was well-known throughout the country. It is indeed a supreme honor to be the apprentice of the master!

Starting from the first question, some of the questions Qiao Yan asked seemed to be related to his attitude towards people. This made Yu Wenle feel that Qiao Yan's standard for accepting apprentices, in addition to the talent of the apprentices, was the character that he valued the most.

If the master-apprentice relationship is confirmed, if the apprentice makes a mistake in the future, the teacher will also have to bear a certain amount of criticism. The meaning of 'not teaching strictly and being lazy with teachers' is undoubtedly very appropriate for this kind of thing.

Qiao Yan, who has been staring at Yu Wenle's eyes, is in the process of taking the school examination. Always staring into Yu Bunraku's eyes. As an old man, he believes that words can deceive people, but eyes can't deceive people.

This kind of observation can make Qiao Yan judge Wenle's answer to some extent. Is it from the bottom of my heart, or is it a lie deliberately made up for the sake of the teacher? What satisfied him was that for this kind of staring, Yu Wenle also did not have any weak dodge.

When talking about the creation of novels, Qiao Yan said: "In your opinion. What is the most important thing about being an author? I've read three novels you've written, and in general I'm a little surprised.

But it is undeniable that the philosophy and irony contained in a novel like Xiaoao Jianghu are indeed interesting to write at your age. In your opinion, should a novel focus on commercial or literary value? ”

Cui Wenying and the others, who were sitting on the side and listening to this kind of answer, actually felt that many of Qiao Yan's questions were difficult to answer. This kind of commercial value and literary value is heavy on one side and light on the other. It's really hard to answer.

It's just that those who know Qiao Yan know that this old man is very dissatisfied with the romance novels that are currently prevalent in Yan Huang. He is critical of the unhealthy thoughts in these novels, as well as the innocent moaning.

But the problem is that these romance novels are very popular with some readers. It is precisely because there is a market that many authors deliberately cater to the hobbies of these readers when they are creating, and write such unhealthy passages at will.

Regarding this question, Yu Wenle, who had been nervous from the beginning and slowly relaxed, said without much thought: "Literature is one of the subject classifications of humanities. Along with philosophy, religion, law, and politics in the upper echelons of the social building.

As a novel creator, I often provide spiritual food for the majority of readers. A good novel can bring readers a sense of satisfaction and after-reading. Even from fiction. Comprehend some principles of behaving and doing things.

Although such a high demand is a bit exaggerated for me at the moment. Self-question, my novels don't have that kind of impact. But it is undoubtedly a fact recognized by the author of the novel.

For myself, I would like to write something. You can get the love of readers, and you can feel a sense of satisfaction from the book. And as much as possible, to prevent readers from experiencing unhealthy thoughts and lifestyles from the novel.

Even the novel "Zhu Xian", some people think that this is a depressing novel. But I think that the core idea of my setting for the protagonist is still positive. Even if there are some of the passages in it, the reader feels a little hated for me. ”

When she said this, Long Wanting, who was sitting next to her, seemed to nod in agreement. When she saw Baguio die, she also shed tears. felt that Yu Wenle was too ruthless, and he actually wrote such a cute 'Baguio' to death.

Looking at Long Wanting's nodding action, Yu Wenle also smiled a little embarrassedly and continued: "As for the commercial value and literary value that Qiao Lao said, I think that with the current literary creation environment, both are indispensable.

A work with literary value, if it has no commercial value, means that this kind of novel will not bring any income to the author, and it is unlikely that the novel will be disseminated and published. I think Qiao Lao should also feel this.

Now, when I create a new work, I also need to take into account the feelings of some readers, and secondly, consider the commercial extension value of the work. It's just the core idea of the novel, and I won't be bothered by anyone either.

Writing novels that cater to readers is a common way for authors to get paid accordingly, even if I am no exception now. But I am also very reluctant and resistant to the passages that promote violence, sexuality, and unhealthy thoughts in the novel.

Therefore, Qiao Lao asked me which side of the novel should be focused on, and I really couldn't answer. All I can say is that I'm better at writing novels that have the value of adaptation and publication. Novels similar to humanistic perceptions make me afraid that I can't write them.

But I still feel that whether you are an author or in any other profession, you must have the corresponding professional ethics. At least in the novel, I would never do such a statement as deliberately discrediting history and attacking the government.

Respecting history, loving the country, persuading people to be kind, and conveying happiness should be the bottom line of my current creation. I will not change this red line for anyone, now or in the future. Sticking to principles is, in my opinion, also what should be done. ”

To Qiao Yan's ears, the answer was somewhat unsatisfactory. can think of Yu Wenle's current age, it is actually very good to be able to say these words. Adhering to principles is also a must-have for a good author in Qiao Yan's opinion.

Secondly, Yu Wenle still dared to say such things on the premise of knowing what answer he needed, which is enough to show that when answering his torture, Yu Wenle also did not take a deceptive approach to gain his favor.

This point is also rare in Qiao Yan's opinion!

It is said that 'famous teachers produce high apprentices', and any teacher actually hopes that one day the students' achievements can surpass themselves. If the student is really prescribed to die, and the student does everything according to the teacher's requirements, how can it be possible to surpass the teacher's achievements?

What's more, Qiao Yan also knows that today's era is different from before. In the early years, the literature of Yan and Huang, in addition to miscellaneous literature, was more of a martial arts standout. But now? That's a hundred flowers!

Especially online literature, the development momentum in recent years is truly beyond Qiao Yan's imagination. This change in the way of reading has also changed the trajectory of literature in a sense. Literary innovation is also something that Qiao Yan feels necessary to advocate.

Just when everyone was expecting Qiao Yan to continue to ask or give an answer, Qiao Yan was silent and said: "Less, since Wenying recommended you to me, I have always paid attention to your works, including some news about you on the Internet.

Your answer to the previous question seems sincere to me, but it does not meet my requirements for choosing a disciple. It's just that I appreciate your sincerity, and I also know that today's literary world is very different from the past.

At least I need to admit that Zhu Xian, a fairy tale novel, even I never thought about it. This shows that you are a child who does not like to stick to the rules and has your own creative ideas and creative talents.

It is said that writers are a group of people who are good at imagination. Today's ever-changing times also allow you young people to have a stronger and broader imagination than those of us who are authors of the older generation. But I've always felt that no one should forget their roots.

So, for your exam school, I'll give you a passing grade. If you feel that you don't mind my harshness on you, I can temporarily accept you as a registered disciple. If you make me feel like you are walking my word with me in the future, I will accept you as my closed disciple.

Just one thing, I have to state in advance. As my registered disciple, I will only teach you some things that I think you need to learn. Don't tell anyone about me being your master without my permission.

Of course, I won't admit that you are my disciple. Unless you really get my approval, I've decided to include you behind the wall. Before that, if you violate these requirements, the mentoring relationship will be officially terminated. ”

From these words, it is enough to see that Qiao Yan still appreciates Wenle. It's just that correspondingly, you can also hear Qiao Yan's strict procedures for choosing disciples. Wanting to do things with his reputation is almost a luxury.

Qiao Yan, who also felt that this requirement was a bit too strict, felt that this was not a test for Wenle. In fact, being able to become his registered disciple is also an opportunity that is difficult for many people to find by playing lanterns.

And Yu Wenle also got up happily and said: "Student Yu Wenle, I have seen the teacher!" I hope that in the future, I will have more opportunities to listen to the teachings of the teachers! If the student has any shortcomings, please ask the teacher to give advice. ”

Yu Wenle, who bowed down at 90 degrees, also said these words very sincerely. Being able to learn from a master like Qiao Yan, even if there is no master-apprentice relationship, is a once-in-a-lifetime good thing for him.

What's more, even if Qiao Yan accepted him as an apprentice, Yu Wenle didn't want this kind of thing to be exposed. The reason is also very simple, he also doesn't want to be a man with the aura of 'Master Qiao Yan's closed disciple' on his head! (To be continued.) )
