Lao Xu talks about creation
In view of Lao Xu's majesty and resources as the editor-in-chief of a provincial daily newspaper, I often seek out his creations, and I hope that he will not grow old.
One day I told Lao Xu that I was going to go to the disco to play.
Lao Xu said: "You are a writer, and a writer is to sit at home." You've experienced the disco so many times, why are you still trying to experience it?! ”
Lao Xu often patted my ass: "Is it well written? The style of writing shows talent, and if you continue to write in this style, you will definitely be able to succeed! ”
I said, "Am I going to tell you that I'm writing this to make up the word count?" ”
Lao Xu said: "Back then, Jin Yong and Gu Long were all handed down works written by being forced to make up the number of words? ! ”
suddenly remembered what Lao Xu had said, when Gu Long didn't want to write a book back then, and he didn't have money to drink, so he wrote it in order to get money from the editor to buy wine and drink.
Later, it evolved into Gu Long's narrative, and a writing organization behind it helped him compile it, and after writing it, he gave it to him for review.
Lao Xu said that sometimes when a writer is narrating, he will have moments of inspiration and bursting, which will become a very good creative material.
I once asked Lao Xu, you have seen so many celebrities, why are you now reduced to sitting with me to eat and chat?
Lao Xu patted his ass: "Everyone needs to make up classes." ”
Lao Xu will also take the time to look at my text, and then come to me and say: "As a reader, I suggest you change xxxxxxx (a certain sentence), it is about your personality." You have to be aware of being a public figure. ”
I said, "I don't want to be famous, I just want to make some money." ”
Lao Xu said: "If the character collapses, you can't make money." ”
What can I do?
Lao Xu said that many celebrities were really talented at the beginning, and in the end, they were really talented, and some even began to use swear words to win attention.
To give a real case, famous A and famous B have no grievances, and suddenly one day famous A starts to scold famous B.
Both writers are well-known public figures, and any words and deeds will become specimens for analyzing the mentality of society.
Famous B asked, "Why are you scolding me?" Famous A said: "I scolded you because I looked up to you, and I scolded you because you were very famous." ”
In fact, the object of ridicule by famous artist A is almost always aimed at intellectuals and cultural people.
There was a well-known writer in the circle who published a lot of books, and there were a lot of quotations from this person among sentence fans. When this writer came to see Lao Xu, he brought a new book, and Lao Xu later said that he wanted to give it to me.
I said, "I don't want it, I think he writes very generally." Why did he write it like this with so many fans?! ”
Lao Xu said: "Every writer has a small circle, and in that small circle is like a fish in water. ”
Lao Xu knew my paranoid love for small animals, and Lao Xu said: "The animal world is very happy?!" ”
Me: "It's all the same. We are animals too, are you happy? ”
Lao Xu: "Happiness is a discrete function, there is unhappiness in happiness, and happiness in unhappiness?!" ”
I thought about it for a moment and said, "There is happiness when there is unhappiness, and it is all contrasted." If you don't experience pain, you can't experience happiness. ”
Lao Xu said that he did not like to eat with writers.
He said that in the past, there was a writer in their circle, and every time he had dinner with major leaders and secretaries, he would write down every word of them every time he went back. A record is recorded in eight books casually, and the leader is assigned to read after writing.
Lao Xu felt that he was a tape recorder.
Lao Xu is a person who has a score in his heart, but never puts on a score.
Once, Lao Xu commented on my novel "Reverie in a Trance": "The author said that in addition to Taoism, there is also money and power, and money is important to everyone?!" ”
Me: "Nonsense. ”
Lao Xu: "It's so philosophical to write blindly?!" ”
Me: "Why does it smell like Dr. Wang?" (Dr. Wang was a former dear friend of mine.) )”
Lao Xu: "When you become a great writer, I will return to my meanness?!" ”
When I saw Lao Xu's words, I suddenly felt a kind of sadness in full swing.
"By the time I got in, that person was gone.
By the time I become a great writer, you'll be gone. ”
