"Our super-rich Li in Liu Zhen has a whimsical idea and plans to spend $20 million to buy a road and take the Russian Soyuz spacecraft to space for a tour......"

Editor Cheng stood up, put his hands behind his back, and began to recite the beginning of "Brothers" in a tone and frustration.

He memorized it so well that he recited the hundreds of words at the beginning of the novel fluently.

Just the opening sentence of this novel attracted the attention of everyone in the conference room.

Because, at the cost of 20 million dollars, it is still a dollar!! Just to take the Russian Soyuz spacecraft to space for a tour, this is a shocking thing for the Chinese people.

Ordinary people, I guess they won't even think about it!

It's 1997, and two years ago, there was news in the newspapers that Russia was planning to launch a space tourism program to make the world's super-rich.

But it's just a plan.

The implementation of this plan did not begin until 1999, and it was not until 2,000 years later that the billionaire successfully landed on the International Space Station on the Soyuz spacecraft, completing the first ordinary person to travel in space.

Now, at the beginning of this novel, it actually says that a rich guy in China actually spends astronomical money to travel to space, this Nima is crazy, right?

"Brothers" grabbed people's hearts at once with just a few dozen words at the beginning.

That's a clever way to do it.

"This novel uses flashbacks, and the beginning is actually the end of the whole novel, one of our protagonists, Li Guangtou, imagines himself looking down on the earth on a spaceship, and then he bitterly realizes that he has no relatives on this blue planet......"

Why does Li Guangtou think so? Readers must be curious, eager to explore, and eager to read on. ”

"Here, one of the things I want to tell you is to write a novel. We must learn to set up suspense, and we must give readers a chance to read, and these two points can be achieved, then. There won't be any problems with the readability of the novel. ”

After editing Cheng to recite the content of the beginning of "Brothers", he began to analyze the advantages of the beginning of this novel.

Advantage one, take the lead and catch the reader's attention with an unconventional thing.

Advantage two, step by step doubt. It makes the reader want to explore and read all the time, and it gives people a very strong sense of expectation.

Advantage three, the language is very concise and tasteful to read, and the novel is pleasing to the eye.

Let's talk about the first three chapters, the author tells a village helmet incident in great detail, a very small and even a little vulgar thing, and it is interesting to tell him.

It clearly expresses the suffering of that era and the repression and destruction of human nature, but it is preferring to tell it in a relaxed and humorous tone, so that readers get a very unique reading feeling when reading: it feels interesting. But there is a touch of sourness in the heart.

Editor Cheng finished speaking.

The conference room burst into applause.

Many people look at Xiao Fei with more complicated eyes, admiration, jealousy, and enterprising flames.

Looking at what Editor Cheng said, it is all about appreciating Xiao Fei's new work, and he has already praised this new book that only reads the first three chapters to a very high height.

This means that Harvest has decided to publish this manuscript, right?

Xiao Fei is only in his twenties, and after publishing his first novel "The Fish Walking on Land" and the first online romance novel "The First Intimate Contact" on Harvest last year, he will publish his third novel in the country's best literary journal......

Just think about it, it's incredible!

Xiao Fei: Is this really going to be among the ranks of first-class writers in China?

Then. Cao Zizheng also finished reading the first chapter of the printed manuscript of "Brothers".

This first chapter is more than 6,000 words, and the old gentleman read it for more than 20 minutes before reading it, which shows how meticulous he reads it. After reading the first chapter. Cao Zizheng didn't continue to read, but took off his glasses, rubbed his eyes, and said to Editor Cheng: "Teacher Cheng, shall I say a few words?" ”

"Ahh Teacher Cao, you said. Editor Cheng said hurriedly.

Editor Cheng looked at Cao Zizheng with a serious expression. frowned slightly, and he knew that this old man probably wouldn't say anything good. However, this is also normal.

Cao Zizheng turned the manuscript to the first page, sighed and said: "This novel, undeniably, is very interesting to write, interesting to read, mature and concise language, humorous narration, very gripping, and very readable!" It's an excellent pastime read! ”

Cao Zizheng first talked about the advantages of "Brothers".

Without thinking too much, Xiao Fei knew that Cao Zizheng would definitely criticize next.

And looking at this trend, the criticism should be very harsh.

However, he didn't pay much attention to it. In the previous life, after "Brothers" came out, it was also quite controversial. Many critics think that "Brothers" is very vulgar and even suspicious of astringency, in short, many people think that the book is not in high style.

But Xiao Fei, who is familiar with literary history, knows that compared with many other so-called pure literary works, the description of "Brothers" is as pure as a newborn child.

Not to mention the deletion of a few words in the paragraph of "Waste Capital", novels such as "White Deer Plain" alone also write deeply about sexuality.

The reason why many critics think that the brothers are not in a good style is probably because the beginning of the brothers uses too much ink to tell the helmet incident, which weakens the serious character of this big book.

As Xiao Fei thought, Cao Zizheng began to criticize "Brothers" harshly.

"However, I want to say that this "Brothers" still has a lot of shortcomings. The first drawback is that the content is too vulgar and not serious enough, just like a grandstanding! What kind of system is this? The second drawback, it dilutes too much textual value for the sake of readability, the story is well told, but the style plummets and slides into the trough! ”

"Xiao Fei, tell me, what is the main purpose of your book?" Cao Zizheng turned to look at Xiao Fei and wondered.

Cao Zizheng has a strong temperament, and he can't rub sand in his eyes.

He is not used to seeing it, and he never hides it, but will simply criticize it.

From this point, Xiao Fei knew that Cao Zizheng did not deliberately embarrass himself.

Xiao Fei smiled and nodded at Cao Zizheng: "Professor Cao, the main idea of my novel is very simple, that is, through the life experience of the two brothers in the period of literary songs and reform and opening up, to reflect the earth-shaking changes in our country in the past 40 years, two different eras. Two very different landscapes of social times will be presented in my book. ”

Xiao Fei briefly expressed the theme of his work.

Hearing Xiao Fei say this, Cao Zizheng's brows furrowed even tighter, and he said, "Then does the beginning of your novel have anything to do with your theme?" The relationship shouldn't be too big, right? ”

"Since it has nothing to do with the main theme. Why not just get rid of that content and write something more serious? ”

That's a bit too choking.

Xiao Fei was unmoved, and said with a smile: "Professor Cao, I believe that character is destiny!" So. When I portray my important characters, I will definitely try to show the most important character of the character! Li Guangtou is one of the most important protagonists in my novel, and I want to portray his character comprehensively, so that I can better tell the story of Li Guangtou's turbulent life, which is the main reason why I wrote the first few chapters in thick ink and color, do you think I can explain it like this? ”

After listening to Xiao Fei's words, Cao Zizheng pondered.

After thinking for a while, he shook his head and said, "Xiao Fei, I still think." Your first three chapters are a bit of a stretch, even if you want to portray Li Guangtou's character, there is no need to write more than three chapters for this! You can just go through it and get straight to the main theme of the story! ”

"Professor Cao, I respect your point of view, but please forgive me, I also have my own thoughts, and I don't want to make any changes to my work." Xiao Fei said.

Cao Zizheng was stunned, he didn't expect that Xiao Fei would resolutely reject his suggestion.

He thought about it. finally realized that the way he made his suggestions seemed to be too arbitrary, and it was normal for a young man like Xiao Fei to not accept it.

Although Cao Zizheng realized that his methods were wrong, he did not intend to correct this.

He is an old man who has been stubborn all his life. Now that I'm getting older, I'm becoming more and more stubborn.

"Let's all pass it on, and when you're done, give your own opinions." Cao Zizheng passed the manuscript of Xiao Fei's three chapters to the student on his left with a straight face.

He's looking for an alliance.

Since Xiao Fei is unwilling to correct his mistakes, he must mobilize the masses and let the voices of the masses shake Xiao Fei's erroneous thinking.

Cao Zizheng thinks. I did this purely for Xiao Fei's good, if Xiao Fei modified "Brothers" according to his own ideas, this work would become even better.

He can't sit idly by and watch a promising young writer take a detour!

You can't sit back and watch a good work have such obvious flaws.

Editor Cheng obviously also saw Cao Zizheng's intentions, but he didn't say anything. He also wanted to see what other people thought of "Brothers."

Soon, the first person to read the manuscript passed it on to the next person and began to express his opinion.

"In this novel, judging from the first few chapters alone, I think that the author's writing attitude is extremely improper, he is not writing a serious life, but a farce without any meaning!"

The first person to read it criticized.

Since the head of the department, Cao Zizheng, has sounded the horn of criticism, as a student of the Chinese department, he naturally has to cooperate! Even if he hooked up with Xiao Fei just now and called him a brother, even if he was still asking Xiao Fei about the difficult problems of writing just now.

does not prevent most people from changing their faces and starting to criticize Xiao Fei!

"The performances of the characters in the novel are too exaggerated, and the stories are so absurd that it is unbelievable that such a story has ever happened on the land of the motherland! In my opinion, such a helmet story must have been deliberately made up by the author himself in order to make the novel good! There is no real meaning in life at all! ”

"It is a complete failure to depict a life of misery in language that I think is funny, and greatly lessens the meaning of suffering!"

"The language is rude and funny, and every character is so big and rude, it's not normal!"
