Chapter 57: Reading a novel with a lot of effort is a good novel in the eyes of the master
Qu Ting left a message before leaving, asking him to rush back as soon as possible, and strive to get married and divorced this month. After a week, another week and a month have passed, but the strange man has not returned, he feels that it is not the right time to go back, and when his novel is published, the situation may change, she will not push a writer into the arms of others, right?
The weirdo is writing two novels at the same time, one is written for the website, and that novel is going to the great god; Another novel was written in a diary, that is, I recorded my thoughts and thoughts every day in a notebook and wrote it for myself, and I didn't want to publish it, but Chen Liru looked at it and showed it to Editor-in-Chief Cao behind his back.
That day, Chen Liru came back from Editor-in-Chief Cao, and as soon as she entered the door, she said, "You hurry up and change your clothes, change your clothes and follow me, Editor-in-Chief Cao wants to see you." ”
The strange man didn't know why Editor-in-Chief Cao wanted to see him, so he hurriedly changed his clothes and went out with Chen Liru in a daze.
On the way to the station, Chen Liru told him that his diary, edited by Cao, had read it and promised to publish it for him. The strange man was secretly happy in his heart, but he didn't show his face on the surface.
Passing by a supermarket, Chen Liru grabbed him and said, "You go to see the editor-in-chief, you can't go empty-handed, go in and buy some greeting gifts, give him meaning, he will pay more attention to you." ”
The strange man shook off her hand and said, "It's too vulgar, you also came out of the compound, how did you become such a philistine?" ”
Chen Liru retorted: "This is not vulgar, people are sophisticated, to put it bluntly, it is a science, you don't even understand this, how can you mix in society in the future." ”
The strange man didn't listen to her, reached out to stop a taxi, and pushed Chen Liru in. Chen Liru sat in the car, and taught the strange man how to talk when he saw the editor-in-chief Cao
The strange man was annoyed, and the strange man said angrily: "I can't say those meaty words, if you want to tell him." ”
Chen Liru also made a straight face. said, "Why are you so hypocritical?" Forget it, say whatever you like, this person, if you don't touch the wall a few times and become smart. ”
As she spoke, the car arrived at the entrance of the editorial department, and Chen Liru asked the strange husband to go in to talk to Editor-in-Chief Cao, and she was waiting for him at the gate.
The strange man came out in less than ten minutes after entering, Chen Liru asked him how he was talking, and the strange man shook his head and said, "Not good, this is not." He asked me to take this diary back again, I told you a long time ago, what I wrote is a diary, nonsense, one sentence after another, what I remember, I can't get on the stage at all, he asked me to change-"
Chen Liru interrupted him and said, "Did he tell you how to change it?" ”
The strange man said: "He said it in a more general way. I said that there is no chronological order in this novel, and today I think of tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow I think of twenty years ago, upside down. I don't know what I'm going to say, but he told me to straighten out the chronology first-"
Chen Liru said: "He didn't say that to me, he said that you were playing crossing, and he liked you." How has it changed again? No, I'll have to ask, you gave me that book. I'll come when I go. ”
Chen Liru walked into the door of the editorial office with the book, and the strange man waited for her at the door for more than half an hour before waiting for her to come out. Let's eat. ”
They found a small restaurant nearby to sit down, and the strange man asked Chen Liru, "Why didn't you take out my notebook?" Don't need to modify it? ”
Chen Liru said: "The writing is very good, what else to revise?" ”
"I think there are a lot of things that need to be revised, and I wrote it for myself, and it was a bit obscure, and if I really published it, it was in a bookstore, and no one would buy it," the strange man said. ”
Chen Liru said: "It's better to put it in a bookstore than at home, you don't point to it to make money, your novel is not used to make money, it is used to win awards, the judges like to pretend to be profound, and disdain to read those easy-to-understand novels, they think that kind of novel has no taste, you see that the Nobel Prize-winning novel is not difficult to understand, and the novel that is difficult to read is a good novel in the eyes of the editorial board." ”
The strange man echoed and said: "What you said is really a bit of truth, I have read a lot of Nobel Prize-winning novels, it is very difficult to watch, the author seems to be deliberately setting up obstacles for readers, I must not understand it after reading it once, I don't know what to do, I often hear people say that if you can't read a book you can read a few more times, you can understand it, I don't agree with this point of view, I can't read anything I can't read once, I can't read it ten times, maybe my understanding is too low, I read "Dream of Red Mansions" five times, and I haven't fully read it until now, the first time I feel good, it's a good book, I read it many times, on the contrary, I feel that there is too much nonsense in it, and it smells like an old lady's footcloth. ”
Chen Liru said: ""Dream of Red Mansions" dare not talk nonsense, it is recognized by everyone as a good book, half of the Red Chamber has fed many red scientists, red scholars have read "Dream of Red Mansions" all their lives and have not figured out its true essence, how can you say that it is an old lady's footcloth? Reactionary, don't say it anymore, people will be scolded when they hear it. ”
The strange man looked around, turned around and asked Chen Liru, "Have you invested a lot of money in my novel?" ”
Chen Liru said: "It's not something you worry about, don't ask so much, as soon as the book is listed in the future, it will definitely attract the attention of many experts. ”
The strange man raised his glass and said, "I wish there would be a day, and I wish that day would come soon, cheers!" ”
The strange man took a sip of wine and said, "Has the meeting been decided?" How many people can go there? ”
Chen Liru said: "It's scheduled for this Saturday, Shi Song made an announcement in the group, and now only six people have signed up. ”
The strange man asked, "Who are they?" Is Stone Pine coming? ”
Chen Liru said: "He will definitely come, Winter and Xinrong also said that they would come, Lele is not necessarily, he didn't say death-"
The strange man said: "Counting Lele is only four people, what about two?" ”
Chen Liru said: "Xinruo Shallow Water and Chunyan have signed up, and a young woman named Siyu has also signed up, I heard Xinrong say that she is coming for you." ”
The strange man said, "I haven't seen this person again, why are you coming at me?" ”
Chen Liru said: "She is your fan, and she has saved up a lot of questions to ask you." ”
The weirdo said, "Fans? Still have a whole bunch of questions for me? Okay, you must let her come, I want to meet her, we will chat alone, you won't be jealous, right? ”
Chen Liru said: "I won't be as jealous as your daughter-in-law, the thread is held in her hand, and the thread is cut when you fly high, do you say she is stupid?" I'm not afraid of you flying, where do you fly, the line is in my hands, I can rewind the line at any time. ”
The two chatted until it was dark, then they left the restaurant and returned to Changping. (To be continued......)
