Chapter 27: People's Literature

Since he decided to change to a new vest, He Yun will not change a vest associated with the "Northern Underworld", it is best to look like the two have nothing to do with each other, and at first glance it is the kind of new vest written by two people.

For this reason, he even decided to change the previous style and try to "cater" to the current mainstream style.

However, there are many habits of wording and sentence breaking, which cannot be changed.

Of course, he didn't want to change it, because it would be difficult to change it in a short period of time.

Rather than that, it's better to work on the plot.

For example, this new novel he plans to write next.

As a short and medium-length story, he intends to shape it as a whole into a tragic story.

The reason why it is said that the whole is tragic, not that the whole process is tragic, is because this war that he has personally experienced, although it is very cruel, the ending should be good, and our country will definitely win the final victory.

As for the characters involved in the novel, he will not describe too much, firstly, because the length is not too long, about tens of thousands of words, and he can't write too many characters, and secondly, because if the characters are described too much, it will directly affect people's perception and give people a dizzying feeling, and in the end, it will affect the overall appreciation of the novel.

However, although this novel is relatively short, for every character in it, whether it is the protagonist or a supporting role, or even a passer-by or villain, he will describe it with flesh and blood, and try not to be overly face-painted.

After all, heroes also have shortcomings, and they will also have a tender side, which is actually the real hero!

For this reason, he has already decided that the target of this submission is not other magazines, newspapers, or even publishing houses, but "People's Literature".

As the first literary journal since the founding of the People's Republic of China, it can be traced back to 1949.

Of course, this is not the most important thing, the most important thing is that there are very few people who can publish their works on it, but they are all the most famous writers in the country.

For example, Mr. Lao She, Mr. Ba Jin, Mr. Xia Yan, Mr. Zhou Libo and other famous writers in the early days.

In addition, famous writers such as Jia Pingwa, Liu Cixin, Mo Yan, etc., all have works on "People's Literature".

There are even many works that have been selected into textbooks of various periods, such as "Ten Mile Long Street to the Prime Minister".

It can be seen from this that this literary journal sponsored by the National Writers Association is so powerful and strictly reviewed that ordinary people's works cannot be selected for publication at all.

…………

After finalizing the main platform for submission, He Yun also chose another alternate submission platform, Reader's Digest.

After all, "People's Literature" is not so easy to pass the review, it is better to find an alternative platform.

After the submission platform is determined, the next step is to take a new pen name.

After thinking about it, He Yun considered his previous identity and the subject matter of the new novel he wrote, and finally gave himself a pen name of "Man Jianghong".

What is "Man Jianghong", its source actually comes from the famous anti-Jin general Yue Fei in the Southern Song Dynasty "Man Jianghong. Furious".

The word "red" also symbolizes blood, embodies the cruelty of war, and tells the hard-won peace.

Moreover, "Manjianghong" has another meaning.

It represents He Yun's enthusiasm as a soldier and his feelings of serving the country.

Such a pen name can be said to be extremely appropriate to his current identity, so that people can't connect with his previous pen name "Beiming".

In this way, He Yun can write "Fanghua" with confidence.

That's right!

For the title of the new novel, he chose to choose, and finally decided to "Fanghua".

As for why the name?

Actually, the reason is very simple!

Because he really couldn't think of a more suitable name, he simply "borrowed" the name, anyway, the name has not been used yet, so there is no need to use it in vain.

…………

The life of writing is always so fast, and before you know it, it has already reached the early hours of the morning, and He Yun is also a little sleepy.

He yawned, stood up, stretched, sorted out the paper on the table, and went to sleep.

In the following week, He Yun insisted on writing "Fanghua".

Although he had prepared various outlines before this, he still felt very difficult to actually create.

It's not just a matter of writing and style, but also a variety of problems such as inspiration often getting stuck.

No, a week after writing it, "Fanghua" only created 10,000 words, which is still a big gap from the goal he set, 50,000 to 70,000 words.

Because it is a short story, the text should be as concise and short as possible, but it must also take into account the development of the plot, the front and side descriptions of the characters, and the description of the battlefield environment, etc., so this is naturally much slower to write.

Moreover, it is often a thousand words written, four or five hundred words are deleted, and sometimes an entire paragraph is deleted.

In this way, it will take at least twenty days, or even a month, to finish this short story.

"Forget it! A month is a month! Good work needs to be polished! He Yun shook his head slightly, not impatient.

Now is not the era of online literature in later generations, what is particular about fast food culture, good works, not only need a good plot, but also need good writing, a suitable style of writing, and good luck.

Besides, he has been preparing for so long and has written a detailed outline of tens of thousands of words, if this novel is written as a fast food online article, it will be really sorry for his hard work.

…………

In mid-November, when the weather in Hunan Province seemed to be colder, and there was hail and sleet in the morning, He Yun returned to his dormitory after class and continued to write.

What he didn't expect was that Principal Zhao came to the door of the dormitory in person and found him.

"Koga! See! And your letter! I just passed by the janitor's room and got it for you from there! ”

"My letter? Could it be a reply from Wulin Magazine? After He Yun welcomed Principal Zhao into the dormitory, he took the letter and couldn't help muttering secretly.

But the next moment, he was stunned.

"It wasn't sent by Wulin Magazine! The sender is a science fiction magazine? This...... Is it that science fiction novel? ”

If it weren't for this letter, he would have almost forgotten the science fiction novel "Dream of the Future" that he had submitted before.

Thinking of this, He Yun hurriedly opened the envelope with a trace of excitement and expectation.

There was a letter in the envelope, and he immediately checked the contents of the letter.

"What's going on? Is there news about the science fiction novel you submitted? Principal Zhao looked at He Yun expectantly at this time, and seemed to be more anxious than He Yun.

He Yun looked at him with an expectant look on his face, and couldn't help but say......
