Volume 1 The Story Begins with Tian Tian Chapter 056 Essay
Although New Year's Day is a festival, there is actually no market among the people, because the Chinese people are not interested in this Western festival, and the weather is still cold. But in a boring school, every holiday is celebrated as a holiday. There will always be this or that organization, group that launches some activities during the festival to add joy to the boring school days.
"Big tree, tonight the 96th Regiment Society will hold a New Year's ball, there are a lot of beautiful women there, don't you participate?" This is his roommate Zhang Dalei joking with him.
The New Year's and May Fourth holidays are the traditional time for students at all levels of the school to organize and hold balls, and they are also a very reasonable place for male compatriots to talk to the girls they like, or a rare public appearance for lovers in the school.
"Low-level fun! Don't go, busy. ”
In addition to being really busy, Tang Dashu didn't want to go for another reason, that is, his dancing level was too inferior, and he didn't like it very much.
In those days, ballroom dancing was popular in schools, and it was the kind of fourteen steps that were neither fast nor boring, and had a single movement. For students, learning is fast, but whether they dare to jump or not is another matter. In fact, although most of the boys who are willing to dance have an inexplicable mind, they are still much more timid in the end.
This reason has no obstacle to Tang Dashu now---- under the dim light, who knows who is who, just hold and jump. But people are not hungry and thirsty animals, and they are willing to dance Tang Dashu even if they are beautiful women. So what if it's a dinosaur?
Zhang Dalei must be willing to go, this is a good time for him and his little girlfriend to be sweet, I'm afraid it is also what he wants, otherwise what way can he "reasonablely" raise the relationship between men and women from stage A to stage B or stage C? But boys also have a herd mentality, and they are worried that they won't be able to let go of the occasion of the group society, so they need someone to accompany them to be brave.
In fact, there are already brave people, like Zhan Jianxun, who have long been eager to try; Like Ah Hui, his young man's heart has sprouted. But they still want to pull a few more people, before this the boys in the class have been asked about the same, I heard that Lu Changrong and Cao Jiaju, who are in the same dormitory, may go.
"This group study has arranged a lot of 96-level beauties to support the field, maybe that Tian Tian will also go?" Zhang Dalei knew how to destroy Tang Dashu's reserve.
"Huh?" Tang Dashu finally raised his head and glanced at Zhang Dalei. "Cut", he said casually, "I'm really busy, I'll talk about it later." "How could ---- such a coincidence?
"There are a lot of beautiful women and you don't go? Is this still the Tang Dashu I know?! I'll look for you again in the evening. ”
Facing Zhang Dalei's back, Tang Dashu calmly spit out two words, "Pervert!" "He's busy, but not so busy. rejected Zhang Dalei's invitation very resolutely, just because Shen Jing was sitting next to him---- this Zhang Dalei became more and more blind.
Shen Jing only looked up and smiled.
Of course, Tang Dashu has been really busy these days.
He is writing an article to commemorate their dead love by reminiscing about the breakup with Chen Sicong. The reason why I suddenly had this idea was because the Student Affairs Division and the Academic Affairs Section jointly organized a New Year's Day essay contest, with a self-proposed topic and writing about my deepest feelings. Then one morning, Tang Dashu suddenly had an impulse to write a story about him and Chen Si, and wanted to write about his innermost feelings.
This impulse forced him to postpone editing of his first novel.
In the previous life, I was basically able to get a ranking in the essay competition, and even won the first prize a few times, but that's all. At most, the higher vocational class knew that Tang Dashu, a classmate in the class, was very good at writing, but these did not bring him more glory, and he was still a very dull student in school. If you want to become a man of the hour, you can't do things step by step, and if you want to do it, you will be shocked. For example, if you first write an emotional essay in a school essay contest, the most important thing is that it will be more than 30,000 words! A complete novella.
Of course, the necessary Spring and Autumn brushwork is still required, and the artist's understanding of life comes from life, but artistic processing is higher than life. Tang Dashu is not stupid enough to substitute himself into it, what he wants to do is to substitute his own emotions.
There is also a purpose, that is, his imitation of "The Days of Living with a Flight Attendant" has begun, but he is not confident that this kind of thing that came out more than ten years in advance can cause a sensation like later generations, after all, the times are different, and the reader's ability to accept it is also a gradual process. Then, as a test of the waters, he is writing a similar novel called "The First Close Encounter".
If there is no deviation in time, this novel of the same name by Taiwan's Tsai Zhiheng should be published on the Internet next year, causing a sensation and becoming a classic of romantic love stories. In my previous life, I had read it no less than ten times, and the impact on my "young" mind at that time was self-evident: it turned out that novels could be written like this, and romance novels could be so tempting! This style has a huge leap from the works of predecessors such as Yaoqiong, who was once popular.
I don't know if this novel will have a good response---- at least a few teachers in the Chinese group who serve as judges should be able to see it first. As long as they are willing to give themselves a good ranking, which means that he is at least right in terms of aesthetics and literary trends, then he will try to submit the novel to a magazine, newspaper, or other publication.
The online dating story of the boy with the screen name "Ruffian Cai" and the girl with the screen name "Light Dance Feiyang" is so similar to his relationship with Chen Si, and the result is extremely bleak. This state of mind made Tang Dashu's heart surging more than once in the dark midnight student bed after the silent breakup with Chen Si, so that he had not completely come out of this shadow---- because he had not yet found a home, although he had a very restless heart in nature.
With his memory and his own writing skills, Tang Dashu used all the self-study classes and evening time to write the outline and create most of the content in less than a week, and today is the end. New Year's Day is the beginning of a new year and the day his first novel is finished.
He has made a certain degree of modification to Mr. Cai Zhiheng's works: not only the style of the text is his own, but many contents have also been greatly deleted, such as turning online dating into reality, turning online chat into note transmission---- which is closer to the reality of China, after all, the large-scale use of the Internet in China did not begin until much later.
He gave a male protagonist "Sugar Gourd", ---- named for his love of sugar gourds, but in fact it was his own nickname, replacing the original protagonist "Ruffian Cai". The original ending was that "Light Dance Feiyang" died of a red lupus attack, but Tang Dashu changed it to the old routine of later Korean TV dramas: "car accidents, cancer, and car accidents that can't be cured".
"Sugar Gourd" met the lovely girl "Dancing and Flying", and the two fell in love. But unfortunately, on the birthday of "Sugar Gourd", "Dancing and Flying" was killed in a car accident while climbing over the fence on the road, just to buy a sugar gourd that he likes to eat. People who are in love are separated by yin and yang, and the male protagonist has to buy himself a sugar gourd for his birthday every year in grief.
Shen Jing was his first reader, and she did it almost in one go.
Tang Dashu's literary style is really good, and the point of the story can also capture the hearts of young people---- originally, "The First Close Contact" caused a sensation as soon as it was born, and Tang Dashu then applied some popular elements in later generations, which is called absorbing the aura of heaven and earth, taking the essence of the sun and the moon, and it is strange if it is not good-looking.
"Why did you write such a tragic ending?" Shen Jing was shocked to read it, rubbed her red eyes and asked.
"Don't you think there's a tragic beauty to it?" Tang Dashu has raised literary creation to the height of aesthetics. Tragedy is to break up beautiful things for others to see.
"I don't like your ending anyway." Shen Jing insisted on commenting, "But the writing is really good, big tree, I didn't expect you to have this kind of literary talent!" ”
"What words! I can interpret this as a contempt for my consistent reading of poetry! Tang Dashu was filled with righteous indignation, but he immediately showed his friendship: "If you want a comedy ending, I will write another one for you." ”
"Really?"
"A gentleman's word, the horse is difficult to chase..."Suddenly, he thought of Chen Si.
"Then I'll wait to read your masterpiece again." Shen Jing happily closed the draft book, and then asked expectantly, "After this novel is printed, can the manuscript be given to me?" ”
"I promise", Tang Dashu slumped in English, much like a marriage vow.
"Your novel will definitely win a prize." She smiled and gave him an encouragement.
"If you are lucky enough to be right, I will reward you well."
After typing the end into the disk again, it's already time for dinner. The night before New Year's Day was a vacation period, and being able to open it was a good fate he formed when he received Australian foreign guests. The person in charge of the school's computer room, the computer teacher who was almost asked that day, was very friendly to Tang Dashu later. So in the past few days, when Tang Dashu asked to get on the plane, the teacher opened the back door for him, including this time.
In this era, it is still rare for authors to use computers to write, and in the minds of the vast majority of the people, computers are still very high-level things. In addition, it is also very complicated to monetize it: in addition to the relatively complex and difficult Wubi of typing software, it is slow pinyin input. Of course, this is not a problem at all for Tang Dashu, who is proficient in the use of five strokes in the "first generation", and it is the norm to enter more than 60 words per minute.
After knocking it out, it was stored in a floppy drive, and I took it to an outside print shop and printed ten sheets on A4 paper, and then nailed them together and put them in the school's submission box. Seeing that this small gap closed all his feelings, his heart calmed down a lot.
I'm sorry, Taiwanese ruffian, with your talent, you can have a second or third intimate contact, and you can continue to write your red lupus story, but you may not be able to write that classic sentence again: "If you pour out the water of the entire Pacific Ocean, you can't extinguish the flame of my love for you." Can the entire Pacific Ocean pour out all the water? No way. That's why I don't love you..."
