Chapter 40: Letters from Female Readers
Ling Jingsu's ideal expectation for "Red Rose" is naturally that this magazine will have both popular fiction works that ensure its best-selling works, as well as pure literary works that ensure the magazine's compulsion, and of course, if there is a masterpiece with both commercial and artistic qualities, it will be even more perfect.
In Ling Jingsu's mind, "Ms. Yiren" or Wang Defu is naturally a great writer who specializes in creating this kind of "masterpiece", even if he is not famous now, he will definitely be able to dominate the literary world in the future.
Therefore, Ling Jingsu will not interfere with Wang Defu's creation, even if she has a strong appreciation ability, she also finds that the follow-up trend of "Love and Sex" has become more stylish, and it is no longer so pleasing to ordinary readers.
If this work is analogous to the online article of later generations, it probably begins with the so-called "Golden Three Chapters" Xiaobaiwen, which is indeed quite exciting at the beginning, and naturally attracts many Xiaobai readers into the pit, but then the author began to get sick, in order to pursue the connotation and depth of the work, no longer deliberately to please the public readers, but to tell the story at his own pace, and the text carries the Tao.
If Wang Defu encounters that kind of strong editor, it will definitely lead to a conflict between the two, because the other party will obviously think that his creation is irresponsible to the entire magazine and readers, so why can't he follow the original rhythm and write something that readers like more?
The editor may also assert that according to his way of writing, this book will definitely be pounced!
But Wang Defu will never shake his mind because of this, some people write books for the moment, for the sake of popularity, so whatever subject is popular at the moment, write whatever subject matter, just make money; He wrote his books in the hope that his works would be passed on to future generations as much as possible, and to inspire readers who really read his works, so that they could think and gain something after reading them.
Fortunately, Wang Defu's editor is an official lady like Ling Jingsu, who is not bad for money, and he also paid such a conscientious manuscript fee, which almost supported him and allowed him to create according to his own ideas, such kindness, he remembered it in his heart.
In fact, in the eyes of a creator like Wang Defu with a strong writing talent, letting him write best-selling popular novels is the easiest and most brainless, but he himself disdains to write, and if he wants to write, he will write it with a vest, or simply instruct others to write, otherwise it will reduce his style.
After Wang Defu and Zhu Moche had dinner that day, he had just returned to the dormitory with his front foot, and saw Liu Qingshan walking in with a large number of letters, and then put them on the table of the eight immortals in the dormitory, and he said to Wang Defu in an envious tone: "Mocun, you are really famous now, these letters are all written to you!" A lot of them are from girls' schools! ”
When Wang Defu saw this large pile of letters, he couldn't help but be a little confused, he really didn't react, why did he receive so many letters, so he subconsciously asked: "Ziyan, what's going on?" Why do girls school students write to me? ”
Liu Qingshan exaggerated: "No, don't you really know that our school's school magazine is circulated in many schools?" These girls school students write to you, of course, because they are overwhelmed by your talent, but you don't have to be complacent, like that Huang Kan Huang Cannon, every time he receives more letters than you! ”
Wang Defu reacted at this time, and could only sigh in his heart, the so-called talents of this era are really popular enough, and they all have star effects, he posted an article on "Xuehuan", which has countless fans, but it is a pity that there is no Weibo in this era, otherwise he will definitely become a big V with countless fans soon, but then again, in the era of Weibo, talents are no longer popular, and those who are popular are "Caizi".
However, as soon as Wang Defu thought of Huang Kan, who despised women, and could receive more letters than him, he felt that this situation had to be changed, even if it was very difficult to correct the brainless thoughts, he had to try to correct it, so that more female students could truly awaken their minds.
Wang Defu thought like this, so he began to read these letters, and he found that Liu Qingshan's rhetoric was still exaggerated, because these letters were not only sent by female students, but also sent by many male readers who yearn to enter the palace of literature.
If Wang Defu really wants to reply to them, of course he will tell them that as long as they read more, think more, and write more, they will naturally be able to write, in fact, he can't bear to say, you should wake up, you don't have writing talent and still want to write a show-off work?
It's okay to be able to write smoothly, don't think too much, be a person, just be happy...... Writing? I'm done with myself.
In fact, if you really want to make a living from writing, you don't need to engage in such bells and whistles at all, it is enough to master the popular routines of popular novels and the cool points of mass readers.
However, Wang Defu will not reply to them, because the efficiency of this is too low, and in the future, he will write a book "The Way of Writing", which can guide these young people who yearn to step into the palace of literature.
Compared with the letters of male readers, the letters of this female reader are even more interesting, some bold female readers even attached their own photos in the envelope, and some thought that modern poetry was well written, and actually wrote love poems......
Are schoolgirls in this era so bold?
And those with black and white portraits, who gave you the courage to dare to post portraits without makeup in this era without PS?
Wang Defu couldn't help but think that during the Republic of China period in his world, I don't know how many "Republic of China Da Wet" developed improper relationships with female students, known as "free love", which seems to be not only a problem on the master's side.
Wang Defu shook his head, he was still looking forward to receiving more meaningful letters, but now it seems that the students of this era are still a little superficial, until he opened a letter from "Chen Qingyan".
The content of this letter seems to be the most, this female high school student named "Chen Qingyan" wrote several pieces of paper with enthusiasm, and it is not those clumsy love poems or the like.
Chen Qingyan's words also made Wang Defu nod secretly, and he even felt that those who had the courage to attach photos might as well take the time to practice good handwriting, which would definitely be more pleasing to the eye than photos.
Wang Defu's originally casual expression, in the process of reading Chen Qingyan's letter, gradually became solemn, just because the girl's letter, between the lines, is full of thirst for knowledge and yearning for Soochow University......
