Chapter 387: The Eighteenth Quest Ding Yuanying's Heavenly Dao 8
Lu Renbing originally bought a homestead in the mountains and built a villa in the mountains. But after the New Year, he gave up. Because the mountain village there is really poor, and now it is the mid-90s, and he is a foreigner, building a villa on other people's land, which is too eye-catching.
Lu Renbing was afraid that he had built a house there, and he would be smashed with glass at two ends in three days. In this day and age, anything can happen. He still didn't want to make himself uncomfortable.
So he instead bought a villa in Area B of the Rose Garden Community in the ancient city, which is one of the few high-end communities in the ancient city. The environment is very good. The upper and lower floors are more than 280 square meters, there is a basement of more than 80 square meters, the roof is a balcony surrounded by guardrails, and in front of the door is an independent garage and a small courtyard of more than 20 square meters.
All the buildings in the community are in European style, and each building is surrounded by spacious open spaces, and the stones paved paths among the flowers and plants are connected everywhere, which is particularly modern, and will not be outdated even in another 20 years.
After buying the villa, Lu Renbing invited a special designer to give the villa a major renovation. The basement was converted into a gym, home theater, games room, concert hall, wine cellar
On the first floor is the living room, guest room, kitchen, and on the second floor is the bedroom, study. The roof of the building has been transformed into a small garden for relaxation.
The renovation project is huge, it is estimated that it will take two or three months, and Lu Renbing is not in a hurry, he is still living in this community. The team of remote control of Hong Kong has accumulated capital piecemeal in the foreign exchange and stock markets. Lu Renbing also gradually began to transfer his capital to Southeast Asian countries, preparing to follow the trend in the coming year.
The layout of a year ahead of schedule is enough to ensure that Lu Renbing can eat the fattest piece of meat and get out of the way. He is not greedy, and he has no intention of being a bird, he only eats what he deserves.
In the field of literature, it began to emerge gradually. He has successively published several short essays on the disadvantages of the times, two novellas of vernacular literature, and now he has begun to serialize a long urban sentiment essay in the monthly newspaper, which has received a lot of praise. Letters from readers transmitted through the magazine have begun to be packed in sacks.
Mr. Lu said it was all a piece of cake, and that he had set his sights on several important literary awards. He decided to settle down and create a few works that can impact the awards, and the literary awards in this era are still very valuable.
With the addition of awards, the forced qualifications are established. It's no longer a pretending to be a deep pretending to be a coercion.
In this era, there are many literary awards, such and such magazines, such and such newspapers, and publishing houses run their own awards, and there are countless awards, basically you can give you an award certificate if you give money. I'll also get you a portfolio, a directory of award-winning authors, and the like.
There are also many inexplicable essay awards, messy awards, and so on. Since Lu Renbing published one article, he has received a lot of letters about the award of such awards every day. Without exception, if you want to receive the prize, you must pay the money first.
As for these awards, most of them are money scams. However, the certificates of some large publishing houses, newspapers, and magazines are still somewhat weighty. It's an income-generating project. It may be helpful to buy awards from these units in the future when it comes to attacking more prestigious awards. After all, these big newspapers, big magazines, and publishing houses are all co-organizers of those authoritative awards, or units with recommendation qualifications.
Maybe some righteous people can't get used to these unhealthy practices, but people don't put a gun at your head to buy it.
Anyway, Lu Renbing doesn't mind taking the wrong path, if there is a shortcut, we will take a long detour at all. It's all within the rules, and if you're more serious, you'll lose.
A truly authoritative award should speak with real works.
Lu Renbing studied the characteristics of the recent major awards and award-winning works, and found that serious works with realistic themes are actually more favored by the judges in this era, and works that reflect reality and have a sense of responsibility for the times are more likely to win awards.
These are not big problems for Lu Wenbing and Ding Yuanying. Lu Renbing quickly chose three topics. The first part is to write about the changes in the countryside, through a small mountain village in Ludong, several families, from the pre-liberation to the present decades of grievances and hatred, to reflect the times, the major changes in the family and the country. This genre is the easiest genre to win awards.
The second part is to write the story of five pairs of young people in a small inland city who embarked on different life trajectories due to different choices after the reform and opening up, reflecting the urban reality, the development of the times, and the relationship between personal destiny is particularly prominent.
The third is an officialdom essay, reflecting the form of officialdom in a small county town, and it is also a popular literary theme of this era. It's easy to shine, but it's not easy to win, and everyone understands the reason. However, Lu Renbing focused on the struggle between reform and conservatism, which is a bit of a praise for virtue, that. It's easy to win awards.
Anyway, Lu Renbing's purpose of writing is not pure, it is to impact the award. If three articles are not enough, he can brush a few more. These are all trivial.
Lu Renbing, who has traveled through the heavens and has taken the Jinshi test several times, has accumulated countless materials in his stomach, and there is no doubt about his writing. Ding Yuanying himself has a very unique view of things, and after the two merge, the sparks that burst out are simply not too strong.
Wen Si is like a diabetes insipidus, that is by no means a lie.
In addition, Lu Renbing is not a traditional writer and needs to write with a pen, he uses a computer to type. Although the current text editing software is not as convenient as later generations, the input method is not very intelligent. But it's also much more efficient than writing with a pen than Kubi.
Lu Renbing has nothing else to do except eat and drink all day long. As for the website, it is still basically theoretical. The national information high-speed backbone network is still under construction, and Yinghaiwei is still bragging. It's not a good time to get in.
Every day is a code word, and 20,000 a day is not a problem, so that a certain person who can't even mix full attendance on the street is envious. Traditional literature can be called long with more than 130,000 words. Four or five hundred thousand words can be called a masterpiece, and if it can exceed one million, it can become a masterpiece.
This number of words, in the era of online literature in the later world, is not enough to put it on the shelf. Just kidding, the gold content is incomparable.
For rural themes, Lu Renbing completed 930,000 words in one month, 600,000 words in the urban chapter, and 340,000 words in officialdom, and revised and revised it in three months. In order to print these documents, a printer was also purchased. He threw three of them to familiar publishers one after another.
They have all passed the review one after another, and the publication will be arranged in accordance with the order of submission. The rural one was submitted at the earliest, and it could be published in August. The other two can also come out before the end of the year.
However, the editor in charge of the contact told Lu Renbing that in fact, he published three books in a centralized manner, which was not conducive to competing for literary awards and was easy to distract the judges.
Lu Renbing said that it doesn't matter, the award is a goal, and the main purpose is to brush fame and style.
