Chapter 233: Let's watch "Story Meeting" together, it's so fragrant! (4500+)
The circle of writers is big, but it's also small.
For this point, He Yun did not understand it thoroughly enough.
Perhaps it was precisely because of this that he thought that all this was arranged by Chairman Kang.
But in fact, he completely misunderstood.
The scene in front of him was not arranged by Chairman Kang at all, but just a coincidence.
Of course, none of this is important to He Yun, and what he is worried about now is that he is afraid that he will have to go through another test.
Sure enough, his guess was right, and when Wang Lao and the two editors-in-chief around him passed on their writing experience, the revision meeting also entered the main topic.
"Let's get into today's topic, first of all, let's take a look at Comrade He Yun's "Love of Lakes and Mountains", Mr. Wang, let you start first."
After Zhang Xingming, the editor-in-chief, said this, he passed the 40,000-word manuscript to Wang Lao through the people around him.
Wang Lao took the manuscript very happily, and then, he solemnly put on his glasses and took the manuscript and looked at it carefully.
At this time, everyone else in the room also waited patiently.
In fact, although dozens of people came to the scene today, not all of them were writers who participated in the revision meeting, and only a few of them really participated in the revision.
Zhang Xingming and Su Yu must have participated in the revision, and there are two old writers, who are experienced and old editors of "October" magazine, so they are naturally among them.
In addition, only Wang Lao is left, he is a writer specially invited by Zhang Xingming, and he is naturally the first person to read the manuscript first.
Time passed little by little, and Wang Lao read the manuscript very quickly, and every time he finished reading a manuscript, the two old writers sitting on his right also read it one after another.
Half an hour later, all three of them had finished reading the manuscript.
Wang Lao was silent for a while, but he smiled, and took the lead in praising it: "It's very well written, judging from the manuscript of this part of the book that has been written so far, it can be regarded as a rare realistic novel, but it is ......."
Speaking of this, Wang Lao deliberately paused, he glanced at He Yun, who was waiting anxiously, and then continued: "However, some places are still slightly immature, such as the description of the protagonist breeding mullet, which is too simple, almost a brushstroke, it can be seen that the author has not really raised mullet, or has not studied it in depth, but like this, it is precisely necessary to describe such a plot, and there are some places, such as this, which are also very abruptly written, and this, the plot is slightly dragged ......"
Regarding the revision, Wang Lao never said anything, he almost said anything, without reservation, and did not beat around the bush, and did not leave any "face" for He Yun.
Although Wang Lao pointed out many faults and shortcomings of "Love in Lakes and Mountains", everyone can hear that his evaluation of "Love in Lakes and Mountains" is very high, which is already very remarkable for a "newcomer" writer.
In this regard, He Yun also had to admit that what Wang Lao said was to the point.
Indeed, for the description of breeding technology and black tea planting, He Yun did write a little anticlimactic.
Although he did do his homework before writing, when it came time to write, he still unconsciously shrunk this part of the plot.
It's not that his writing is not good enough, it's that his life experience is not enough.
In fact, to put it bluntly, he has no experience in this area, and his writing speed is much faster than that of ordinary writers, so these seemingly inconspicuous problems are naturally nowhere to hide in front of a great writer like Wang Lao.
In fact, many writers in later generations, especially some online writers, have such a common problem.
The main reason is that the society in later generations is too impetuous and fast-paced, so not many people can settle down to read a book anymore, and the author naturally does not have much heart to write seriously.
Just like many plots, they are basically fast-food, just sweep them at a glance, and no one will carefully investigate whether the plot is reasonable.
Of course, all of this is far away, but let's go back to the present.
Wang Lao's explicit and disparagemental praise gave He Yun's "Love of Lakes and Mountains" a good start.
And then, the two old editors of October magazine also gave high praise.
As for the remaining two editors-in-chief, Zhang Xingming and Su Yu, they naturally have already read this one written by He Yun, so they immediately gave a more pertinent evaluation, that is: the style is unique, continue to maintain it.
In fact, this evaluation is relatively vague, but He Yun still heard it.
This is actually a word of encouragement.
Roughly speaking, this book you wrote is in the current era when scar literature is the mainstream, with reform and opening up as the core of the main line, and positive optimism and selfless dedication as the values, this style is quite special, and if it continues to be maintained, it will be a good article.
As for the high evaluation of the five "judges", because the others have not seen it, it is difficult for them to judge whether the evaluation is pertinent, but when they think of the identity of these five "judges", they have nothing to say.
Especially Wang Lao, who is among the five, since even he has a high evaluation of this, it is enough to show that this one is excellent.
"Alright, let's take a look at this second ......"
…………
Seriously, at the beginning, He Yun was indeed a little nervous about this revision meeting, but when the whole revision meeting was completed, He Yun was surprised to find that this revision meeting was actually just like that.
Several of the "judges" present were very practical and did not hide anything, they all truthfully stated the shortcomings and advantages of it, and at the end, they gave many suggestions to the author.
This is not at all like the revision meeting in He Yun's imagination, several "judges" do not look like high-ranking review experts at all, but like teachers who preach and teach and solve doubts, they are so kind and peaceful, just chatting with good friends, what to say.
For this kind of atmosphere, He Yun likes it very much.
In the afternoon, he completely relaxed, and chatted with the writers present about various literary topics without the slightest restraint.
He Yun talked with them about modern literature, from modern literature to modern literature, and finally talked about the development of modern literature abroad.
Especially some literary works that are not very mainstream, such as "science fiction", "suspense detective", "fantasy adventure", "philosophy of life" and other niche literature.
Of course, in addition to this subject, there are also unpopular literary topics such as reportage, press releases, and so on, and he also talked a lot about it with many writers present.
It can be said that this kind of pen club is actually a writers' exchange platform, where everyone gets together, chats about various literary topics, and learns from each other.
"Ahem...... Xiaohe, you just said that you also wrote two short stories and submitted them to "Contemporary" literature? Zhang Xingming looked at He Yun, but asked with a smile.
"Hmm...... I wrote those two short stories by hand? The number of words is not much, about seven or eight thousand words, and it is also about the topic of reform. ”
Speaking of this, He Yun suddenly realized something, he grinned, and hurriedly said: "Editor-in-Chief Zhang, if you also want to publish it, I will send it to your magazine as soon as I go back." ”
In the part of "Love in Lakes and Mountains", He Yun has agreed to authorize "Contemporary" literature and "October" magazine to publish the first 40,000 words at the same time, but as for the content of the back, he wants to change the way.
That's right, he wants to publish it directly, after all, this is a long story of nearly 200,000 words, and if it is published a little bit, the time span is too large.
But publishing is different, and the book can be published in a few months at most.
And with his current fame, coupled with the word-of-mouth accumulation of the first two films, he believes that this one should also be a big seller.
"Then I'm bothering you! Don't worry, Xiaohe, we will get you the highest manuscript fee. ”
"Editor-in-Chief Zhang, you can still pay the manuscript fee as usual, I only have one request, if it can be adapted into a movie or radio drama, you can notify me as soon as possible."
"Hahaha...... This natural ......! Regarding He Yun's request, Zhang Xingming agreed with his mouth.
…………
Early the next morning, He Yun took a boat back to Yincheng.
This trip to the provincial capital, on the whole, is relatively satisfying.
not only helped the old man Li Guoyao find his former comrades-in-arms, but also saw the "pen meeting" and "revision meeting" in the writers' circle.
Especially from PEN, he learned a lot from other writers, and it also gave him a lot of inspiration and inspiration.
No, on the night after he came back, he wrote "Love in the Lakes and Mountains" to 66,000 words in one go.
And a week later, he finished half of the plot of "Love in Lakes and Mountains", and the number of words has reached 100,000 words.
It can be said that during the time he came back from the provincial capital, his writing speed has improved significantly, and he can write at least 4,000 to 5,000 words every night.
At the same time, during the week, he received a number of letters one after another.
Among them, what caught He Yun's attention the most was the letter Li Yan sent him.
Li Yan told him in her letter that her "Kung Fu Panda Adventures" had been published in the latest issue of Juvenile Literature and Art.
In addition, she also said in the letter that she was going to write a sequel to "The Adventures of Kung Fu Panda", and the reason was that "Juvenile Literature and Art" magazine wrote to say that she was very optimistic about her and hoped that she could write a sequel.
Well, her apprentice asked the magazine to send her a "letter of invitation", but compared with her, He Yun, the instructor, is much "inferior".
"It's a good thing that the magazine is optimistic about her, but she should focus on her studies now, so I'd better persuade her."
For Li Yan's writing, He Yun has always had such an attitude, that is, he must not delay his studies.
Therefore, when He Yun wrote a reply to her, he specially told her that she could not delay her homework because of writing, and he suggested that Li Yan should write the sequel to "The Adventures of Kung Fu Panda" during this year's winter vacation.
"By the way, I almost forgot, and there was one more thing I forgot to tell her." Suddenly, He Yun remembered another thing, and he couldn't help but continue to write in his reply to her: "Regarding the anime adaptation, some plots have been slightly adapted according to the actual situation, as follows......"
Regarding the change of the plot, He Yun received a letter of notification from Wang Ruoyun a few days ago.
Seriously, He Yun didn't expect that just for this matter, Wang Ruoyun would write to him to inform him.
You know, since it is an adaptation, there will naturally be a little change, which is a very normal thing, but Wang Ruoyun may have respected the original work, but he still chose to write the changes one by one in the letter, and sent the letter to him in time.
For his respect, He Yun naturally didn't want to say much, he could only forward these changes to Li Yan and let her, the original author, make a decision.
…………
Magic City, a middle school.
In a classroom.
It's time for class to end.
Liu Weidong was gathering around his classmates, looking at the "Story Club" in his hand.
This is the latest issue of "Storytelling", which is released monthly.
Liu Weidong didn't like to read story meetings very much, and his favorite ones were "Ancient Legends" and "Monthly".
But today, he was fascinated by one of the latest installments of "Story Club".
"Li Qin, you went over a little bit and blocked my sight."
"Ren Bin, don't you squeeze? I can't see it either. ”
"Weidong, hurry up and turn the page, we've finished reading this page, next, what's going on in the tomb? Did the broken dragon stone fall down? They won't be out of the way, will they? ”
At this moment, Liu Weidong listened to the noise of his classmates in his ears, but he was a little upset.
This "Story Club", he actually borrowed it, originally he read it alone, but later because one of them was called "Archaeological Notes: The Tomb of King Lang at Night", it was so good-looking, and he was fascinated by it all of a sudden, so he accidentally let Li Qin, who was at the same table, see it, and he looked at it for a while, and was immediately deeply attracted by this one.
Well, soon, under the shouting of this "big mouth", more than a dozen boys in the class gathered around him, and everyone gathered around his table, foot to foot, shoulder to shoulder, competing to watch.
"Ahem...... It's all class, what are you still doing around Liu Weidong's desk? ”
Just when Liu Weidong wanted to say something, a crisp cough sounded coming, and then everyone heard the voice of the head teacher, Mr. Luo.
"Not good! Classes are already in place! This class seems to be Mr. Luo's? ”
At this moment, the group of boys sitting around Liu Weidong reacted instantly, and they were so frightened that they returned to their seats.
At this time, the head teacher Luo Changming walked to Liu Weidong's desk, and he looked at Liu Weidong's face before he could receive the "Story Club" in the desk, and his face suddenly became gloomy.
"You...... Come with me with your things, and the others will take out their history textbooks first, and preview them first. ”
After Luo Changming said a word to the others, he turned around and walked out of the classroom.
And Liu Weidong smiled wryly, he took the book "Story Club", and could only obediently follow behind Luo Changming and came to the teacher's office.
When Luo Changming sat down coldly, Liu Weidong also lowered his head, took the book of "Story Meeting", and stood in front of him.
"I said Liu Weidong, how did you do it, you are a member of the study committee, you can read these extracurricular books by yourself, and you still let so many people read them with you, if it is class time, I won't talk about you, but just now this is all in class, you ......"
"You've disappointed the teacher so much!" Luo Changming sighed heavily, and then said: "You put this thing here with me, write an eight-hundred-word check after returning to the classroom, and hand it over to me before school today, do you understand?" ”
"Teacher Luo, I understand." Hearing Luo Changming's words, Liu Weidong suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.
As long as you don't invite parents, it's okay to write a check!
"Okay, let's put things on the table and go back to the classroom first!" Luo Changming saw that Liu Weidong had a good attitude in admitting his mistakes, said another word, and let him go back to the classroom.
After Liu Weidong left, Luo Changming took a look at the "Story Club" and followed back to the classroom with the textbooks.
After class, Luo Changming returned to the classroom office again, he just sat down at his desk, but suddenly remembered something, looked at the upper right corner of the desk, and suddenly exclaimed: "Huh? What about the "Story Club"? Why is it gone? I obviously asked Liu Weidong to put it in ......"
