"My book "Mental Paradise" is concerned about the mental health of human beings, and this novel tells the process of a normal person's mental change, and deeply analyzes some larger propositions such as human nature and the nature of life......"

Zhang Qiang stood up and talked eloquently.

At first, he was a little nervous, his voice trembled, and the beads of sweat on his head were shining.

But as soon as he spoke, he regained his composure, and his whole body began to be filled with a kind of passion.

Zhang Qiang made a large gesture and cooperated with his own narration, telling the main content and ideological theme of his novel.

His narration took about twenty minutes.

In the past 20 minutes, Zhang Qiang was highly excited, and his face was filled with a kind of fanaticism.

Xiao Fei leaned back in his chair and listened.

I only heard a string of professional words and profound remarks flowing out of Zhang Qiang's mouth, well! It sounds dizzy, and I don't understand it.

However, Xiao Fei is sure of one thing: Zhang Qiang's novel has been so modernized that it is symbolic throughout, and the story is also metaphorical.

It can also be said that there may not be any story in this novel.

The story is marginalized.

The characters are marginalized.

Only some difficult and unclear thoughts exude a melancholy temperament.

Such novels were very popular in the late '80s and early '90s. In the literary world at that time, if you didn't play some stream of consciousness and black humor, you would be regarded as not catching up with the trend.

For example, Mr. Lu Yao's "Ordinary World" was written in 1986 for the first time, because his tone was realistic, and it was rejected by many large literary journals.

In the end, it was the second-rate magazine "Flower City" that accepted his manuscript and published it.

And after the first part of "Ordinary World" was published, there was almost no reaction from the domestic critics, even if they noticed. I also think that this novel is a mediocre work.

It was not until later that the Central People's Radio made "Ordinary World" into a radio drama and broadcast it, which suddenly aroused the love of the people of the whole country.

"Ordinary World" became an instant hit.

From this, in the late 80s to early 90s. The postmodern writing boom is so hot in China.

However, by the end of the 90s, postmodern writing had actually reached a dead end, and its craze was declining.

Why is that?

For no other reason, one is that the entire literary situation has begun to fall to a low point. The second is that readers do not recognize modern and postmodern literature, and writers often do not sell many copies of a single novel.

Xiao Fei thought to himself, a novel like Zhang Qiang should be outdated in this era.

The harvest will definitely not be liked.

He looked at Editor Cheng.

When Editor Cheng read Zhang Qiang's novel manuscript, there was no expression on his face, but in his eyes, Xiao Fei saw some impatience and disappointment.

With this, Xiao Fei knew. Editor Cheng probably didn't like this manuscript very much.

"Teacher Cheng, I'm done." At this moment, Zhang Qiang stopped talking and said respectfully to Editor Cheng.

"Oh! That's it! Editor Cheng raised his head and said hurriedly.

It can be seen that he did not listen carefully just now.

"Yes, can Mr. Cheng give me a review now?" Zhang Qiang showed a look of anticipation, he really wanted Editor Cheng to say something like "This manuscript is great, it can be published with a little revision" or something like that.

Editor Cheng groaned for a moment.

It seems to be pondering what to say.

In such a twenty minutes or so, Editor Cheng roughly flipped through the nearly 100 pages of Zhang Qiang's "Psychotic Paradise" at a glance.

Seriously. He watched patiently.

In addition to the language, the manuscript of this book has no bright spots throughout, and it does not arouse any expectations for reading, and the narrative is boring and dull. The plot is like a dream.

What good can such a novel be for other than playing deep?

Few ordinary readers can read it.

Therefore, Editor Cheng directly crossed it, and such a novel will never be published. That's a big poisonous weed!

Sending this novel out is estimated to affect the retail sales of the harvest.

"Teacher Cheng, just say it and evaluate it directly, you don't need to use any euphemisms, this is also to help Zhang Qiang improve." Cao Zizheng said at this time.

Editor Cheng said with a smile: "The language of this novel is still very exquisite, and various postmodern techniques are also in place, and it is an exquisite avant-garde novel." ”

He first affirmed the merits of "Psycho Paradise".

Zhang Qiang listened, but his heart was stunned.

What does it mean that the language of this novel is "still beautiful"? What does it mean that "postmodern techniques are also in place"?

Also, Editor Cheng's tone was perfunctory.

Is this an affirmation before the negative?

Is this to give a sweet date first, and then to knock yourself into the abyss of disappointment?

Literati are sensitive, and Zhang Qiang also has a sensitive heart, and he captures the bad in the details and tone of Cheng's sentences.

This made his heart highly tense.

"Mr. Cheng, can my novel be published in "Harvest"?" Zhang Qiang's heart was horizontal, he felt that he should stop going around in circles, and asked directly if it was okay.

Editor Cheng glanced at Zhang Qiang.

I saw that his eyes widened, leaned forward, and pressed his hands on the table, obviously highly nervous.

And Cao Zizheng also looked at Editor Cheng, waiting for his verdict.

Cao Zizheng has also read Zhang Qiang's manuscript, and he also thinks that this novel is too obscure and difficult to read, but it seems that there is still a little bit of ideological value.

Will the harvest be wanted?

In the conference room, almost everyone's eyes were on Editor Cheng.

Editor Cheng grinned and smiled bitterly, as the editor of a major magazine, especially the editor of the most prestigious large-scale literary journal such as "Harvest". He has become accustomed to rejecting others.

Many writers' submissions have been rejected by him.

However, he was now facing Zhang Qiang's almost fanatical expectant eyes, and facing the attention of many students in the conference room. I still think it's too hard to say no.

Will it dampen the creative passion of these students?

If you refuse too directly, will it seem too cold-blooded?

But the reality didn't allow him to think too much, so Editor Cheng had to shake his head at Zhang Qiang and say, "Classmate Zhang Qiang, you are in this novel." Don't send the harvest, you can try it in another journal. ”

"Phew—"

In the conference room, many people exhaled long.

There are those who regret and those who gloat, in short, everyone has different moods.

Zhang Qiang listened to Editor Cheng's words, his face pale, but he still didn't give up, and asked again: "Teacher Cheng, what do you think is inappropriate and bad?" I can modify it until you are satisfied. ”

"Zhang Qiang, the whole writing style of your novel is not suitable for my publication, and it is not enough to revise it." Editor Cheng said sincerely.

"Huh!? Then I would like to ask, what kind of style of work does "Harvest" want? Zhang Qiang's face was a little purple.

Editor Cheng's words, do you mean that your work has no value for revision?

It's a great shame!

Under the embarrassment, Zhang Qiang's tone was a little unkind.

"Zhang Qiang. How do you speak?! Pay attention to your emotions and keep your demeanor! Cao Zizheng scolded beside him.

Editor Cheng waved his hand, smiled at Cao Zizheng and said, "Teacher Cao, it's okay. I understand Zhang Qiang's feelings, and I would like to share with you some specific requirements for harvesting and receiving. ”

"This request is actually very simple! That is, we must give readers an excellent reading feeling, and this excellent reading feeling does not mean that we simply pursue the hearty telling of the story, that is the most basic requirement! Our requirements are: While maintaining high quality and high standards, and high ideology, it should be easy to read, so that readers love to read! ”

"If the reader immediately loses interest in reading after reading it, then even if the novel has high ideological value and literary value, it is a failure!"

"Some people may say that the reading audience I have positioned myself is originally niche, and my novels are tailor-made for those readers who are willing to read and can read me."

"I think that if a writer really positions his work in this way, then it's better not to publish it for harvest."

"How to say, our magazine is self-published, there is no dime funding, we must ensure that every article published in the magazine is a high-quality manuscript, to ensure that the readers will not be disappointed, so that we can sell more magazines, we will have the funds to run the magazine, and "Harvest" can better survive. Can you understand what I say? ”

After editing Cheng, he asked everyone present for their opinions.

"I can understand, "Harvest" is not easy!" Cao Zizheng said with a sigh.

Zhang Qiang bit his lip tightly, and the humiliation in his heart made him show signs of madness.

Editor Cheng's words, to his ears, are a criticism of him as a person, what is a minority, what kind of reading feels very bad......

Is my Psycho Paradise so bad?

No! By no means so!

They don't understand me, they can't understand my work, they are jealous that I can write such profound works, so they deliberately want to hit me!

It must be so!

"Teacher Cheng, you really disappointed me! "Harvest" magazine also disappointed me, an excellent novel, in your eyes, is considered worthless! Are you not ashamed? Zhang Qiang suddenly said.

Xiao Fei glanced at him and found that his face was red, his eyes were wild, and his facial muscles were a little twitching. I couldn't help but be surprised, this person's endurance is too bad, right? Just being politely rejected once for submission, is it a bit fine? (To be continued.) )
