"The audition for the preliminary round of this new concept essay contest will start soon, I have submitted more than a dozen manuscripts in the past, but I am not very satisfied, I feel that the chance of passing the audition is not very large, and I want you to help refer to it."

Su Wenqi took out a book from the backpack she was carrying, and Lin Ming looked at it, it was a magazine, called Sprout. I remember that Su Wenqi also held a book in his hand this morning, thin, not like a textbook, looking at the color should be this magazine.

"New Concept Essay Contest?" Lin Ming took the magazine and took a look, and attached a submission brochure to the last page of the magazine.

Su Wenqi explained: "It is a high school essay contest jointly organized by Sprout Magazine and many universities in China, and the audition stage is from July to November every year. During the audition, buy a magazine, mail your manuscript and this registration book to their magazine, if you pass the audition, you will be notified to go to the semi-finals in January. ”

The New Concept Essay Contest is still quite famous in China, not to mention anything else, just one Han Han and one Guo Jingming are enough to attract attention. Both of them participated in this competition that year, and they achieved excellent results, passing all the way and finally winning the first prize. Although they will not become famous in one fell swoop by this competition, it at least proves that their literary background is indeed very deep, and it is not an accident that they will become famous in the future. Especially Han Han, his award-winning process is tortuous and legendary. At that time, he did not receive the notice of the rematch, and the organizing committee decided to give him another chance, so he made a temporary question and crumpled it into a ball of paper and put it in a cup with water as the topic.

In just an hour, the paper ball sank to the bottom of the cup, but Han Han's article surfaced.

His article is famous, "Peeping in a Cup".

Exploring human nature from a ball of paper into a cup, the depth of the discussion, the degree of understanding, is simply not something that a high school student can write. It is no wonder that Han Han can cause such a big social phenomenon after this, and it is no wonder why he was a youth idol in that era.

"What, you want to compete?" Lin Ming flipped through the sprouts at random, sprout magazine is for teenagers, and the content in it is all from the contributions of teenagers, which is very popular with students.

However, Lin Ming didn't read much magazines, the two most popular magazines that year were Readers and Youth Digest, because my cousin liked to read it, and he bought a thick stack at home, and sometimes he went to his house as a guest, and only occasionally took a look. The content of these magazines was much the same, either articles or chicken soup for the soul, but in those days, it was indeed the Bible for students.

Su Wenqi nodded and said, "I want to try it." ”

Su Wenqi is a fan of Han Han, and especially likes Han Han's personality and literary talent. Because of Han Han, he embarked on the road of literature, although the rich second-generation motorcycle girl and the literary girl, it seems that the painting style is a bit mismatched. But Su Wenqi really likes to write some articles, and some time ago she submitted several manuscripts to the bud, although she did not appear in the magazine section, the editor still wrote back to her to encourage her, which made her more confident. It's just that writing essays and writing stories, especially the top national competition such as the New Concept Essay Contest, is still very demanding for the level of articles, and it is difficult to write good articles if she does not have rich life experience and strong literary heritage, so she is very distressed now.

For Su Wenqi, her life experience is not bad, she has always been more precocious, has a kind of psychological superiority over her peers, and looks at things more delicately. But literary literacy is not something that can be cultivated in a day or two, or reading a few famous books and the works of some masters, which requires years of reading comprehension.

It was only after she bought Han Han's triple door at the beginning of this year that she couldn't put it down and began to pay attention to literature. Without that accumulation, what was written was empty, like a scarecrow, no flowery rhetoric, and no profound connotation, which made Su Wenqi distressed.

Until today, when I saw Lin Ming, I suddenly remembered that Lin Ming's literary background seemed to be good. At least he wrote the song well, which proved that he had the talent for writing, so he asked with the attitude of a dead horse as a live horse doctor.

As for asking for help from a teacher or a student who is good at literature?

Miss Su, who is as cold as an iceberg in the fourth middle school, can't pull this face. It's much better to find Lin Ming, how can he owe himself a favor, if he can teach himself the best, even if he can't teach himself, this favor can be owed first, and then ask for it when he thinks about it later, which is also a good thing.

"No problem, I can help you with your reference."

Lin Ming nodded and said, "Do you want to write stories, essays, or essays?" ”

Lin Ming was born as a choreographer, and this major is not only about film, but also about literature. Especially in his early years, he systematically studied drama and literature, which is the abbreviation of drama, film and television literature. One of the most basic is to have a certain amount of literary knowledge. Therefore, Lin Ming's literary level is at least much stronger than Su Wenqi's half-ass.

"Story." Su Wenqi said without hesitation: "I want to create my own story novels, but I always feel that the characters I create are not plump, and the personality is dull and fixed, and there is no change at all." I imitate other people's stories and write, and after writing them, it still feels very empty, is there anything you can do to solve it? ”

Speaking of this, the powder suddenly came up.

Lin Ming picked up the chopsticks and said while mixing the vermicelli: "There is a way, but let's not talk about it now, let's have breakfast." I have to practice guitar after school, so I don't have much time. How about a weekend, it's only early July and you still have 4 months to spare, don't rush it. ”

Lin Ming was not idle during this time, and he would still go to the art building to practice musical instruments after school. Unless there is something to go over from the Taomu company, I have to practice for a while every day after school, and I can't move.

Su Wenqi rolled her eyes and said, "You're stupid with music." The final exam will be held next Tuesday, and the summer vacation will be after the exam. In just half a day on a weekend this week, what can I do? Unless you write one for me, how can you teach me at this time? ”

Lin Ming patted his head, he really forgot about it.

Today is Friday, July 5th, and next Tuesday, July 9th to July 11th, there will be three days of final exams. Like the monthly exam, there are nine in total. It lasts until the afternoon of July 11th, and after the exam, the summer vacation officially begins.

At that time, where did Lin Ming come from to tutor Su Wenqi in literature on weekends?

So after thinking about it, Lin Ming said, "Then let's talk about it during the summer vacation." It happened to be a holiday, and there was time. ”

"What about the exact day?"

"It's time to decide."

"You."

Su Wenqi expressed serious displeasure, but there was no way, his literature still had to rely on Lin Ming, so he had to vent his anger on the omelette head spread on the powder, and took a hard bite as if he was biting Lin Ming's meat.

In front of outsiders, she is the goddess of icebergs, and in front of people who are quite familiar with the relationship, Su Wenqi is much more free and easy.

......．

In the afternoon, Lin Ming went to the Taomu Company.

Today I not only went to see Zhang Ziqi's album sales, but also to help Liu He record his album.

Lin Ming had promised Liu He a long time ago to help him sing and fulfill his music dream. Some time ago, I had to do other things besides class, so I didn't have time for the time being. Today happens to be Friday, so I'll go over and see Liu He's situation.

The song has long been given to Liu He, and he has been practicing every day these days, always ready to debut as a star. However, Taomu was very busy throughout June, five albums were pushed, and the whole company was running like a machine, how could there be time to help Liu He release an album, and after a little break in early July, Liu He was in a hurry to go over to record.

In fact, Liu He can record it, and Lin Ming doesn't need to stare at it. But as a brother, it's a song that I helped make, so I have to go and see how it goes. And about those five albums, he also wants to look at the company's current data to understand the current preferences of young people, so as to give priority to the songs.

took Enron at the entrance of Ping'an Street, and the two of them took a taxi to the bottom of the Taomu Building. From a distance, I saw Liu He wandering downstairs, and he seemed to be a little nervous. Constantly walking downstairs, it seems that the mood is not very calm.

It seems that although he has loved music all his life, at this juncture, Liu He is still a little nervous and worried.

Probably.

I'm also afraid that I don't have talent, and if I can't sing it unsatisfactory, it will really hit my self-confidence a little bit.

However, Lin Ming knew that Liu He's level was actually very good, at least in the two years when he formed a band in the future, but he didn't have a good song to make him famous, and his voice and singing skills didn't have too many problems. He got out of the car and walked side by side with An Ran, and said with a smile: "Hezi, why are you sad." ”

Liu He shrugged his shoulders and said, "You can listen to my voice later, damn the voice change period, I'm fine to speak normally now." When I sing, it's a little troublesome, sometimes the voice is thick and sometimes thin, sometimes very sharp, sometimes very low, and it makes me want to die. ”

He didn't say it, Lin Ming almost forgot that he was only a fifteen-year-old boy now. It is adolescence, and at this time, the child's body and personality are undergoing noticeable changes. Physically, the main reason is that the height has grown rapidly, and the amount of food will also soar. For example, Lin Ming, who eats four meals a day in junior high school, was still 1.72 meters in the first half of junior high school, and reached 1.83 meters at the end of the first year of high school, which is 11 centimeters longer in a year and a half. There are also voices that are also changing, boys will change from the original sharp and soft to rough and thick, and girls will also develop in two extreme directions due to body hormones. One is to become sharper, and the other is to become thicker like a boy.

This is the physiological system is inevitably growing, just like when a girl reaches a certain age, it is a reason that the physiological phenomenon of the great aunt will irreversibly occur. At least the current Lin Ming and Liu He have grown green beards and are slowly becoming more and more like a man.

Lin Ming touched his upper lip and slightly astringent green beard, and said with a somewhat self-deprecating smile: "Actually, it's good to be younger, at least the body is good, and when you are older in the future and become old, you have to miss the energetic body at this time." ”

"Don't talk cool." Liu He rolled his eyes and said, "Don't look like an old man, I'm worried." It's okay to be out of tune, but if you tune the original tone, it's not your own voice at all. ”

The tuner can help correct the pitch, but if the timbre is changed, it will be completely the voice of another person. In the future, if you go on stage, you will immediately be exposed.

So Liu He is very distressed now, and at this age, he is suffering the pain and pressure that this youth should have.

An Ran smiled: "Then you just sing a mixed sing, and the duet is saved." ”

Liu He pursed his lips and expressed helplessness.

The three of them went upstairs, and Lin Ming said to An Ran: "Why don't you record a few songs too?" How about making a single and putting it out? ”

"Me?"

An Ran pointed to his cute Qiong nose and said, "Okay, you arrange." ”

Lin Ming scratched her nose and quipped: "Lin Ming's product must be a high-quality product." The future Ontario star, I am decided. ”

"I have a wife, but I forget my brother."

Liu He felt the sour smell of love in the air, rolled his eyes and muttered quietly.
