Chapter 117: Title Hanging Bomb Heaven
"Lao He, I will bring you a young genius, and we have a successor in the children's literature industry." Zheng Yuanjie took Wang Debao into the editor-in-chief's room, said happily, and then squatted in front of the coffee table without seeing the place, rummaging for tea leaves.
He Yuankui looked at Wang Debao with scrutinizing eyes...... He can't see it, but he is really young, and even the beard on his lips is just a layer of hair.
The rest, I really can't see anything, the young man is quite tall, and the skeleton is relatively large, but he looks a little malnourished and thin, obviously the young man's life is not very good.
But this is normal, and it is not thirty years after great material abundance that obesity has become a common social problem...... In the eighties, there were almost no fat people.
What makes He Yuankui like it very much is that Wang Debao's clothes and shoes are very old, but there are no patches, and there is no strange smell, and the overall is clean and tidy.
"Sit down." He Yuankui smiled, stood up and beckoned Wang Debao to sit down.
At the same time that He Yuankui was looking at Wang Debao, Wang Debao was also looking at He Yuankui.
This is a plainly dressed, but neat middle-aged man, with gray hair, slightly messy, and the wrinkles on his face are as deep as a knife and an axe, but this does not affect his friendly and natural smile, giving people a feeling like a spring breeze. On the arm, there is a pair of floral sleeves that can be called a sign of the times - this is to prevent the sleeves from being worn by the tabletop, and a very practical little thing invented, which the ingenious big girls and little daughters-in-law will do.
The editor-in-chief's office is also the style of He Yuankui himself, tables, chairs, sofas, warm pots and teacups, all things are old, but clean and tidy without peculiar smell, only ten square meters of small office, there are still two pots of green plants, growing wantonly.
This is an old man who is simple on the outside and rich on the inside.
"Thank you, Editor-in-Chief He." Wang Debao politely said, retracted his gaze, and sat down on the simple sofa, and the sofa under his buttocks suddenly made a squeaky sound.
Wang Debao's body stiffened, but He Yuankui and Zheng Yuanjie didn't care, Zheng Yuanjie grabbed a handful of tea leaves and put them in two teacups...... Wang Debao hurriedly shouted: "Stop!" Teacher Zheng, I can't drink such strong tea, you can put less. ”
Zheng Yuanjie said: "You will know if you come a few more times, Lao He's jasmine is not tasteless, you have to put a little more." ”
Having said that, Zheng Yuanjie still only put a little tea for Wang Debao, and then picked up the kettle and poured water for Wang Debao first.
He Yuankui watched all this silently, and immediately felt ...... In addition to himself, there is still someone who can ask Zheng Yuanjie to take the initiative to pour water? And it's still poured first!
The little one has something!
Zheng Yuanjie picked up Wang Debao's army-green satchel, took out a stack of manuscript paper from it, handed it to He Yuankui, and said, "Don't talk about gossip, let's take a look at this short story by my brother first." ”
He Yuankui joked: "Lao Zheng, how long has it been since I've seen you so excited about a novel?" ”
Zheng Yuanjie suddenly sighed with emotion: "Yes, there are too few good novels now, and there are more ...... that praise virtue."
"Lao Zheng, be cautious!" He Yuankui shouted in a low voice.
"I understand." Zheng Yuanjie smiled indifferently and said, "You read the novel quickly, after reading it, you will definitely finalize the draft today." ”
He Yuankui also automatically skipped the lie just now, and said with a smile: "So confident, then I have to find fault with it seriously." ”
Unfolded the manuscript paper and found that it was two different colors of manuscript paper, He Yuankui was slightly displeased.
Zheng Yuanjie explained: "My brother only wrote the first 6,000 words at home, plus an outline, and the last 5,000 words came to me, and I asked him to write them on the spot. ”
He Yuankui's brows suddenly relaxed, calculating the time, which means that the little guy's thinking and hand speed are very agile.
However, when he looked at the title of the novel, He Yuankui was stunned for a moment, and then his eyes widened, and he looked at the title in a daze...... "I, a primary school student, woke up and found that I had traveled to twenty years later and witnessed the prosperity and great rise of the motherland".
Good guy, He Yuankui has been engaged in literary creation all his life, and this is the first time he has seen such a long title...... Not counting punctuation, it's 33 words alone.
God, if this is really the title, the editor in charge of typesetting is afraid that he will die on the spot.
What the hell is going on?
But to say that this title is not used...... It's not appropriate, people's titles have witnessed the prosperity and great rise of the motherland, how many dares did he have to cut people? If this is sued, the leader above asks him what his intentions are, how can he answer?
Murder and heartbreaking!
He Yuankui looked at Wang Debao with obscure eyes...... Is this kid here to do something?
Wang Debao held back a smile and lowered his head...... Before he set off from Zheng Yuanjie's studio, he deliberately added a piece of manuscript paper to write the title - the original intention was to make a joke, so that the predecessors who were engaged in literature in the 80s could experience the title style of () thirty years later in advance.
It's great to think about.
Zheng Yuanjie also held back a smile and said, "You can watch it next." ”
He Yuankui turned the page, and suddenly it was suddenly realized that the original title was "Twenty Years Later", so ...... The title of the 33-character long on the front page is deliberately joking with me?
Well, that's a good idea — the official title is "Twenty Years Later," and then add a subtitle underneath it, and that's the solution.
He Yuankui relaxed at this time, pointed at Zheng Yuanjie with a smile, and then continued to read the novel.
Looking at this, He Yuankui gradually immersed himself, and his expression gradually became colorful.
Zheng Yuanjie squeezed his eyebrows at Wang Debao and motioned for him to look at He Yuankui's expression, as if he had written this novel.
Wang Debao is laughing, he is not familiar with He Yuankui, and he must not joke with each other casually like Zheng Yuanjie...... In fact, he regretted it after he came up with the title of the bombardment. But the matter has come to this point, and I can only come hard, I hope He Yuankui is a broad-minded person.
After He Yuankui finished reading it, he pressed his palm on the manuscript paper and thought with his eyes closed...... Neither of them bothered him, but at this time the door suddenly opened, and a young editor hurriedly pushed open the door of the editor-in-chief's office, and was about to speak, when he suddenly noticed that there were two other people in the office, and when the words came to his mouth, he immediately swallowed back, and nodded at Zheng Yuanjie and Wang Debao with a smile.
At the same time, He Yuankui finally finished thinking, opened his eyes, and said excitedly: "I want this short story, cut the line...... It's on this issue on the 10th. ”
Zheng Yuanjie had an expression of "it should be like this", Wang Debao was really excited, this was the first time he had submitted in his two lives, and he had actually passed the manuscript, and he actually had to cut the queue...... I'm so awesome!
Children's literature is three issues a month, and it will take one to five days to be delivered to all parts of the country, and today it is the 4th...... In other words, if Wang Debao's "Twenty Years Later" really wants to cut the queue, then it will be proofread and typeset overnight tonight, and printed overnight.
If printing has already begun, it will be all obsolete.
This kind of courage is really not something that ordinary people can have!
He Yuankui is obviously a very cautious person, he can actually take the risk of making such a big decision...... If something goes wrong, he, the editor-in-chief, will be fully responsible.
But He Yuankui has already made up his mind, which shows how good Wang Debao's short story is, and how much it moves He Yuankui.
No one noticed, and the young editor, with a face full of shock and resentment, silently closed the door and went out.
