Chapter 195: Peer Worship

Su Wen is in Huaxia Academy of Literature, and he sees all the discussions about him on the Internet.

He Rong's article published in "Kyoto Life", he also read it carefully, and only felt that this female reporter knew how to sensationalize too much, and there was nothing special about the others.

The first three or five days of early September were all reporting periods for colleges and universities, and when they arrived at the school and finished reporting, there was nothing to do. When everyone is together, the head teacher convenes a meeting, and when the time comes, everyone introduces themselves, gets to know each other, and is ready to start military training.

During this period, Su Wen planned to take a closer look around the campus to familiarize himself with the environment, but he didn't expect that he became a small celebrity because of the discussion incident, and many classmates came to get acquainted with him.

Especially the freshmen of the same class, these peers are very exaggerated, and some of them hold his works and ask him for autographs. Su Wen is no stranger to autographs, and when he was in Dongguang Province, he signed out phobia because of several signings.

Fortunately, there are not many such new students, and most of them are people from other provinces, and Su Wen is still a little fresh, so he should inherit them one by one.

Signing autographs, discussing with others, chatting about the world, throughout the past and present, has made Room 103 a place for literary salons. Not surprisingly, Su Wen is the center of everyone, even if he doesn't talk much, he just nods a word or two from time to time, which makes those students who come to the door happy for a long time.

Everyone is the same age, as a young man who aspires to become a writer, Su Wen now has the greatest achievements - so big that many famous literati do not have his achievements, which makes him the idol of many young people, everyone takes him as the goal, and thus struggles.

What it feels like to be the center of attention, only Su Wen alone can appreciate it, and the three roommates in the same dormitory are envious.

The four people in the entire 103 room are all freshmen majoring in novel writing, except for Su Wen. The other three definitely want to be creative and create their own achievements.

Now it seems that Su Wen is one step ahead of them, and it is a big step, and he can be said to be a successful person, even if he has only written three or two novels.

Peers have a desire to compare. If it is just an average achievement, they are estimated to be envious at most, and they will not be convinced, thinking that they can also achieve such an achievement. But Su Wen's works have sold more than 10 million copies, and they have even won the favor of the most famous directors in China, bought the copyright, and wanted to adapt them into movies.

With such a dazzling achievement, they don't have that confidence even if they want to compare, so they can only turn into admiration. I am deeply impressed by Su Wen!

Among the three, Ma Junwu is the most convincing person for Su Wen.

He is also a person who has published books and has the most intuitive concept of sales. His two books together sold hundreds of thousands of copies, which is only a fraction of Su Wen's work!

The gap is so big that I don't even have the heart to compare.

If Su Wen's works were only novels or plays, he would not be unable to compete for ambition, because these two genres are the best-selling genres in China today, and they also have the most commercial value. Any writer who is famous basically writes these two types of works to become famous. Such works. It's normal for sales to be high.

However, Su Wen also has a collection of poems!

Compared with prose and short stories, poetry is now the genre with the smallest audience, and the poetry collections on the market are either ancient poems by ancient celebrities or old works by long-established poets of modern times. Contemporary poets. Especially after the rise of the Internet, their works basically can't be sold.

Su Wen's "If Life Is Only as First Seen" sold more than 1.5 million copies in a month, and the final sales forecast is 35 million copies.

Such achievements are not comparable to ordinary people.

Ma Junwu is a young literati, and he has all the character of Wenqing. Poetry collection is the most literary thing, Su Wen has achieved such an achievement, he went from love to admiration, and then to worship.

With the intention of worship and learning, he followed Su Wen for the past two or three days, and exchanged and learned from the future Master Su. Therefore, in the past few days, wherever Su Wen goes, he will go up, full of a follower attitude.

Su Wen was sometimes annoyed by him and asked him to let himself go, but Ma Junwu not only didn't listen, but also asked innocently with a face Is it wrong to study with a person who has achieved greatness?

Su Wen had no choice but to shake his head and smile bitterly, no matter how he said it, they were all roommates, so he could follow if he wanted to. Fortunately, Ma Junwu doesn't have a lot of gossip and has no interest in Su Wen's trivial matters. From drama to poetry, to prose and novels, everything is covered.

Su Wen was surprised to find that although Ma Junwu was young, he was very familiar with many literary genres.

After carefully reading the two books given by Ma Junwu, Su Wen finally knew the reason why his works did not sell well.

"Notes on a Silent Night" is just that, after all, it is prose, more of a young man's imagination, although the rhetoric is gorgeous, but in the embarrassing environment of prose, it does not sell well, which is understandable.

As for the novel collection "Sunset", Ma Junwu is a little worried about the new words, many short stories are obviously youth novels, and many stories take place on campus, but he prefers to give the novels a kind of "Tao" - he writes very youthful novels into old-fashioned stories.

Sometimes it is given a very open ending, and it is also written sadly; Sometimes when writing tragic stories, the layout seems stiff, and the traces of the axe and chisel are too obvious.

These are all creations that the market does not like!

With Ma Junwu's age and identity, he should have positioned the market among students of the same age, but he did not grasp this main consumer group, and the things he wrote were not popular with them.

Seeing that Ma Junwu really had the intention of studying, Su Wen carefully analyzed the situation with Ma Junwu, and after listening to it, he was silent, nodded, and shook his head.

After pondering in silence for a long time, Ma Junwu pulled Su Wen and asked directly: "Su Wen, your "Romeo and Juliet" is also a tragedy, and the way you arranged their deaths is not necessarily very natural, why do people like your story instead, and say that you wrote an epic love?" In my hands, the tragedy is blunt? ”

Su Wen thought for a while and said, "I firmly believe in the saying that character determines fate, and I have also incorporated this purpose into my creation. Romeo is passionate, amorous, yet impulsive; Romeo is kind and beautiful. But it's naΓ―ve. An impulse, an innocence, plus love, it is understandable that they both committed suicide. Besides, love blinds people. Two people who have love, let alone commit suicide, it is murder, it is estimated that it is not a big deal! ”

Ma Junwu was stunned when he heard this, and muttered: "Character determines fate? ”

Su Wen nodded and said: "I admit that "Romeo and Juliet" still leaves a lot to be desired, but I wrote the characters relatively plump through a story with twists and turns, and the plump story has always been the reader's favorite." You have also seen it, even Zhang Fangge likes such a story. It's going to be brought to the big screen. Why? Because the characters are flesh and blood, the story has tension, and it can be popular in stage performances, and it shouldn't be bad when it comes to the cinema. ”

"I've figured it out." Ma Junwu was thoughtful.

Su Wen patted him on the shoulder and said, "We are still young, take our time, sooner or later we can all become well-known writers!" ”

Ma Junwu nodded heavily: "This is a must!" ”

Su Wen laughed.

His encouragement to Ma Junwu. In addition to the feelings of roommates, there is also a bit of selfishness: as the saying goes. Three gangs of a hero. Su Wen wants to make a career in the literary world, in addition to speaking with his works, he also needs some help, for example, there are some famous writers behind him who are waving the flag for him!

Look at Xie Kun, Wang Wang, or Venerable Donglian, Wang Tianming and others. As soon as a word is spoken, the Quartet responds, that is the prestige that a great writer should have.

If Su Wen wants to become a powerful writer, he also needs a writer who worships and follows him, and there is a long way to train latecomers. Perhaps, Ma Junwu is the beginning!

"By the way, speaking of tragedy, what about your "Thunderstorm", I saw that you said that you want everyone to see what tragedy is. Why did it die down? Ma Junwu really knew Su Wen's situation well, and he even remembered the meager one he had sent before.

Speaking of this, Su Wen didn't know how to explain it all of a sudden.

It is said that after he released the news of "Thunderstorm", Fang Chengshi was very dissatisfied and asked him to turn his mind to "If Life Is Only as First Seen".

For the sake of the sales of the poetry collection and the development of his own publishing house, Su Wen really didn't mention "Thunderstorm", and only said his poetry collection on a meager basis, and later he also took the opportunity to find Concubine Bai Luo, so that the other party could also cooperate with the promotion of "If Life is Only as First Seen".

Concubine Bai Luo didn't know if she had inherited Su Wen's love, and she was very concerned about this matter, in addition to praising the ode to "If Life Is Only as First Seen", she also contacted some friends and asked them to help.

Maybe Concubine Bai Luo really likes the poems in the poetry collection, and wrote several poems after reading, posted them on a meager basis, interacted with fans, and indirectly promoted this poetry collection.

It can be said that in the sales of "Life is Only as First Seen", there is a credit to Bai Luofei, especially in Dongguang Province, Bai Luofei has a great influence and stimulates the consumption of many readers.

However, the disappearance of "Thunderstorm", in addition to Su Wen's shift of focus, there is also a problem that he has not found a suitable partner.

In terms of matrix, because of Fang Yuan's obstruction, Tang Ya could only concentrate on operating "A Doll's House", and did not dare to reach out to Su Wen.

As for Fang Yuan, Su Wen couldn't stand their coercion, and he refused to bow his head all the time, so there was no way to talk about cooperation.

As for freshness, Li Xiuying first asked Concubine Bai Luo to try it, and then contacted Su Wen in person, wanting to get the copyright of "Thunderstorm".

After Su Wen visited and inspected their stage team, he found that apart from Concubine Bai Luo and two or three handsome students, there were really no good actors in Qingxin Company.

If "Thunderstorm" wants to become a classic and resonate with the audience, the actor's skills are very important, especially the ripple scenes, which are the top priority.

Qingxin Culture Company has no accumulation in this area, and Su Wen is afraid that they will make a mistake and ruin the incomparably classic "Thunderstorm", so he said that he would not agree to Li Xiuying's conditions.

However, the fresh company has a great contribution to the operation of "Romeo and Juliet", and Su Wensheng is afraid that people will say that he unloads the mill and kills the donkey, and he does not want to be an ungrateful person like Xie Kun. Therefore, he took a trick and granted the copyright to another story to Fresh Culture.

Li Xiuying read the poem "Magnolia Flower Order" and found that there was a poignant story in the words "If life is only as first seen", so she wanted to put the story implied in this poem on the stage.

She even thought of the name of the play, and it was called "If Life Is Only as First Seen"!

Su Wen agreed, and signed the story copyright of this word to Fresh Culture Company, originally Li Xiuying wanted to let Su Wen write this story, or a play, or a novel, as long as it can become a story.

Regarding her proposal, Su Wen shook his head and said that he couldn't write it, and pretended to say that what he wanted to write was in this poem, and if he wrote anything else, it would be cumbersome, and he didn't feel it, so he couldn't write it.

Li Xiuying had no choice but to find someone else to write it, but fortunately, her company has raised a lot of playwrights, with themes, and such a poignant lyrics, which is enough for them to give full play to their ability to make up stories.

In this way, for more than a month, Su Wen has delayed the release of "Thunderstorm" until now, so that the classic masterpiece in his mind has not yet been seen by the world.

Others saw that Su Wen didn't move, thinking that he was thundering and raining, and gradually forgot about it. Ma Junwu admired Su Wen extremely and kept all his information in his heart, and now revisiting this matter made Su Wen a little in a trance.

Looking at Ma Junwu's look of anticipation and wanting to see the masterpiece, Su Wen smiled slightly: ""Thunderstorm" has been written, but it has not cooperated with cultural companies or publishing houses. Don't worry, you'll see it soon. ”

Ma Junwu perked up when he heard this, and asked, "Have you brought the manuscript with you, can I read it in advance?" ”

"Uh......" Su Wen was stunned for a moment, this didn't seem to be a very good idea.

The manuscript that has not yet been published involves copyright matters, and Su Wen has not registered the copyright for "Thunderstorm", so if the manuscript is leaked, it will be troublesome.

Ma Junwu didn't seem to think of this stubble, and swore to the sky: "I just want to have a look." Ouch, I'm getting more and more itchy now, I know that you have a good manuscript in hand, but I don't know when it will be published, do you think I can not be in a hurry? Su Wen, don't worry, I'll see it myself, I won't show it to anyone! ”

Speaking of this, if Su Wen still doesn't agree, I'm afraid that he can only be a villain, after all, Ma Junwu is a roommate, and everyone will study and live under the same roof in the next four years, if there is not even basic trust, it is estimated that life will be difficult.

"Okay." Su Wen sighed, opened his wardrobe, took out a memory from his backpack and handed it to Ma Junwu, "It's just an electronic manuscript." ”

Ma Junwu excitedly took the memory, and said helplessly: "Okay, although reading the electronic manuscript doesn't feel like reading a book, it's better than nothing!" ”

After saying that, he happily hugged his laptop and read the manuscript of "Thunderstorm".

Seeing this, Su Wen shook his head and smiled bitterly, and was about to find something to do, when suddenly Liu Hua rushed into the dormitory from the outside and shouted: "Su Wen, hurry up to the gate of the dormitory building, there is a beautiful woman looking for you!" ”

"Looking for me? Belle? Su Wen was stunned for a moment, saying that he didn't know any beauties in Huaxia Academy of Literature, oh, it can be said that there is still a look, and it is only that reporter He Rong.

"It seems to be a senior sister surnamed Tang, really beautiful, when I came in, I heard those senior brothers talking about her, saying that she is the school flower of our school?"

The school flower surnamed Tang?

Su Wen didn't have any impression of this.

Confused, he walked out of the dormitory and headed for the dormitory gate. (To be continued......)
