Returning to the capital again, coming out of the Beijing Railway Station, looking at the familiar streets and buildings, Shen Long seemed to have returned to the world of "Blood Romance", in that world, at this time, he was doing research at Mizuki University, and in this world, he came to the capital for the first time.

Unlike other first-time travelers to the capital, Shen Long found the bus stop after a few glances, went to the place where the award ceremony was held, came to the hotel, reported his name, showed his letter of introduction to sign in, and received the key to the room.

Nowadays, the country's economic conditions are still very difficult, so the award ceremony is very shabby from a material point of view, but fortunately, there are many masters who are still alive, and Shen Long is still a little excited to see them, and he has taken out the books he has prepared and asked them to sign as a souvenir, and he is now more and more like a person in the literary circle.

The masters are all very kind, but some authors who are not yet famous are not so easy to get along with, especially when they see that Shen Long is still so young, they are not very polite to speak.

At first, some people regarded him as a staff member who came to serve the award ceremony or a volunteer who liked literature, and he was often called and drunk, but Shen Long was not used to their bad problems; Later, after listening to him report Sun Shaoping's three words, these guys quickly turned their arrogance into jealousy, I have been writing for so many years, and I haven't won the award yet, how old are you, why did you win the award? There must be some ulterior secret in this!

In particular, I participated in the literary awards, and it wasn't Kang Mazi's Qiansuo banquet, when did I talk about my age? For those rumors, Shen Long unceremoniously replied.

In the end, he didn't bother to associate with these people, either to communicate with writers who were also from the northwest, or to ask those masters for advice, and occasionally in some free time, he also went to the streets to buy gifts for Xiaoxia and her family and friends.

However, he didn't want to provoke people, but someone came to provoke him, no, at the literary exchange symposium after the award ceremony, someone attacked him.

At the beginning of the meeting, there was talk of the classic work of the Red Empire writer Paustovsky, The Golden Rose, a collection of essays, in which Paustovsky discussed a series of important issues in writing: the process of generating the idea of the work; how writers should cultivate their powers of observation, refine their material, and hone their language; the necessity of imagination; the function of detailed description; the logic of the character itself; The origin of inspiration, etc.

At the time of the publication of this book, vulgar sociology and dogmatism were still prevalent in the literary circles of the Red Empire, and the defenders of the Tao must proclaim the class nature and party spirit principles of literature, emphasize that the primary task of writers is the transformation of the worldview, and what is required of writers is to praise virtues and illustrate policies, and denounce the discussion of self-expression and writing skills as deviant heresy.

Therefore, the advent of a work like "The Golden Rose", which broke free from the shackles of rules and regulations and explored the laws of literary creation itself, was like a clear spring in the desert in the eyes of the reading circles of the Red Empire at that time, and it has been universally welcomed for many years.

Now, just a few years after the domestic movement, writers are facing the same problems as the writers of the Red Empire, so objectively speaking, this book is very useful for writers to shape their own creative style and polish their creative skills.

But unfortunately, these people don't seem to understand this, they just use this book to put gold on their faces, and want to show their literary skills with the fact that they have studied this book carefully, although they don't necessarily have it.

"Little grandson, can you talk about your opinion on this work?" Someone asked maliciously, he had heard Shen Long whispering to the person next to him before, and admitted that he hadn't seen this work, and he felt that this was a good opportunity to make a fool of him.

"I'm sorry, I haven't read this book, so I can't talk about it." Shen Long said generously, he didn't think there was anything shameful about this, there were so many literary works, who dared to say that he had read them all?

"What! You haven't read "The Golden Rose", so how dare you write a book? He immediately got up and spoke aloud, his words stirring as if he had heard something unforgivable.

"Why don't you dare to write a book without reading "The Golden Rose"?" Shen Long retorted unceremoniously, "Engaging in literature is not engaging in natural science, if you want to say that you can't talk about theoretical physics without reading "The Theory of Relativity", you can't talk about Riemannian geometry without reading "On the Assumptions as the Basis of Geometry", and you can't write a book without reading "The Golden Rose", what is the reason? ”

"Did Mr. Barking start writing the book after reading 'The Golden Rose'? Did Mr. Wei Wei learn to write a book after reading "The Golden Rose"? Did Mr. Yao Xueyin start writing the book after reading "The Golden Rose"? Shen Long asked rhetorically.

Without waiting for the other party to refute, Shen Long continued to ask, "In addition, I think that another writer of the Red Empire, Mr. Andrei Shevchenko, expounded on literary theory in the same depth, have you read his books?" ”

"Of course...... Of course I did. The other party replied a little weakly, in fact, he hadn't read it, and he hadn't even heard of the name of this writer, but if he confessed that he hadn't read it, wouldn't it be the same as Shen Long?

"Huh." Shen Long had a sneering look on his face, "I'm sorry, I just made up the name Shevchenko, and he hasn't written any literary theory works. "Andrei Shevchenko only plays football, doesn't write books, and he's still a kid under six years old

"Hahaha!" Some people couldn't help laughing, and there was a burst of laughter in the venue, since ancient times, literati have been light, but whenever they meet writers when they get together, they will inevitably quarrel, but the quarrel is so exciting, they are the first time to see each other.

The person who provoked Shen Long suddenly blushed, and his chest continued to rise and fall, making people worry about whether he would blow up, and in the end, he really couldn't think of any chance to recover, so he had to leave.

For a long time in the future, he was not embarrassed to appear at similar parties, and some good people even gave him a nickname, called Mr. Shevchenko. I heard that he is an expert in the study of the literary theory of the Red Empire? I have some questions about literary theory for him!

With the example of Mr. Shevchenko in front of him, others did not dare to provoke Shen Long, and Shen Long was suddenly harassed a lot less.

On the last day of the meeting, two unexpected guests came to Shen Long.
