Chapter 45: Precipitation
The book "Yongquan" written by Gao Garin not only accepts the inspirational shaping out of the consideration of being close to the audience, but also adds new thoughts and ideas from later generations in the process of adaptation, forming a strong spiritual resonance with readers.
There are two most daring adaptations of "Yongquan": one is the love tragedy between Ma Defu and Splash, which makes readers empathize, and this kind of tragedy can be said to abound in the countryside of this era; The second is that Ma Defu has gone through several twists and turns, through his own efforts and talents, not only to get rich himself, but also to lead the whole village to get rich, and continue to write the unfinished story of "Life". This sublimates the whole story and gives hope to the majority of rural youth.
These two changes are organically unified, that is, the efforts of the strivers should be rewarded. This is also the point that Gogarin wants to express: talented young people must and can only rely on their own efforts and struggles to achieve themselves, otherwise, this is not the right life, and a speculative life will not have good results.
Of course, Gogarin's "Spring" is inevitably problematic. The biggest problem is to change the tragedy of the original book to the current happy ending. In a sense, it weakens the power of empathy in the novel, and it also makes many readers feel that it is not real enough, which is why there are many letters of criticism and abuse.
Of course, Gogarin knew this before writing the novel, but the problem is that if it didn't stick to the main theme, the novel would not have received such a strong recommendation. Although the path chosen by Gogarin for Madford cannot be applied to every intellectual youth in the same situation, if they try to follow the path chosen by Madford, they will always get some better results. This is also the point of promoting this novel above.
This kind of retrospective and reflection on his own work is actually very important to Gogarin. After all, he is an upright writer, and even if he borrows from the literary works of later generations, he must transform it into something that he has complete control, so that it is meaningful.
In fact, if he could do it all over again, Gogarin might not have plagiarized the Harry Potter series again. He can write some semi-original magical fairy children's books, such as rewriting the "Xuanyuan Sword" series or the "Legend of Sword and Fairy" series of games into novels, which have a lot of plot material, and it will not be too difficult for Gao Garin to write.
But he was a little anxious and directly copied the "Harry Potter" series. The difficulty of absorbing and transforming this novel is actually far greater than that of those works. Gogarin actually spent more energy on Harry Potter than he did on the Fountain on his own. It's a matter of not outweighing the cost.
As for "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty", the status in Gao Jialin's heart is a tool used to make money. I don't really care about this novel myself, and with a little revision, it will be faster to copy.
Of course, the editor-in-chief of "Ancient Legends" knew that Gogarin had enough manuscripts, and the novel was widely praised after publication, so that the sales of "Ancient Legends" soared. The editor-in-chief decided to increase the number of serialized words of "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty" in accordance with the strong demand of readers, and the first volume can be serialized in about four or five issues.
In order to make money, Gogarin is naturally full of motivation. In two months of fragmentary time, I completed the writing of the second and third volumes of "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty". On the occasion of the arrival of the Gregorian New Year, he sent the second volume to "Ancient Legends" and received a manuscript fee of 2,700 yuan.
Gao Jialin knew that these editors-in-chief were all powerful people, and what he couldn't get by himself was trivial to others. So he licked his face and spoke, hoping that the editor-in-chief of "Ancient Legends" would get him two color TVs, and the money would be deducted from the manuscript fee for the next volume.
Of course, this kind of request is excessive, but Gao Jialin has no other way but to embarrass the editor-in-chief Yang of "Ancient Legends". Gao Jialin promised Zhang Kenan and Huang Yaping to give each other a color TV when they got married, and he wanted one himself. Liu Qiaozhen stays at home all day long, and should also learn about the world through TV.
The editor-in-chief of "Ancient Legends" doesn't know what method he used, anyway, people have a way.
A month later, just as the Lunar New Year of '85 was approaching, two large boxes that were extremely tightly packed were pulled by the postman and delivered to Gogarin's yard.
It took Gao Jialin and Liu Qiaozhen half a day to disassemble the two boxes layer by layer. By the time they unwrapped the last layer of kraft paper to reveal the product box, the two had already screamed excitedly.
That's right, this is the two 18-inch panda color TVs sent to Gao Jialin by the editor-in-chief of "Ancient Legends", and it is not enough to advance all the manuscript fees for Gao Jialin's 3rd book! Of course, there is not much left, and Editor-in-Chief Yang has paid it himself, so he will treat it as giving the money to the newlywed wedding of the Gao Jialin couple!
Gao Jialin was grateful for the report, and after a week, he also sent the manuscript of the third volume of "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty". The reason why I want to spend a week is to say that I didn't deliberately press the manuscript and didn't send it, but after getting the TV, I was full of motivation, grateful to Dade, and rushed to the manuscript day and night. Otherwise, it seems that he is too urban, and everyone will not look good.
Zhang Kenan received Gao Jialin's big color TV, so naturally he was so excited and excited, and how happy he was. With his and Huang Yaping's background, there is naturally a way to get a color TV. But firstly, there is not enough money, and secondly, it is also very difficult. Gogarin's wedding gift can be regarded as sending to the heart.
Of course, this gift is clearly too heavy. Zhang Kenan said that he wanted to make up some money for Gao Jialin, but Gao Jialin's repeated excuses didn't work, and in the end, the two compromised with each other and compromised, and Gao Jialin accepted half of the TV money, 800 yuan. Zhang Kenan happily hugged the TV and went home.
The Lunar New Year has arrived, and these three months are the most relaxed and leisurely three months for Gogarin. In addition to writing the two volumes of "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty", he completed the writing of "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets". That's a lot of work for him.
The rest of the time, Gao Jialin and Liu Qiaozhen fully enjoyed the world of the two. Gao Jialin taught Liu Qiaozhen her homework and instructed her to write. The two of them buy vegetables and cook together, go shopping and take a walk, love each other, and fly like wings. YA is not a big city, and many people often see Gao Jialin and his wife traveling, talented and beautiful, complementing each other, and they are also the envy of many people in the city, and they are widely known as a model couple.
Gogarin spent a lot of time reading, which he used to improve himself. Although the city of YA is small, it is the cradle of the Red Revolution. It has the most famous revolutionary theory university in the country, YA University. The library was also quite good, and Gogarin could borrow all kinds of books and magazines he needed.
The study of these books also strengthened Gogarin's foundation and improved his understanding. Although he had a lot of knowledge in later generations, most of this came from the Internet, and Gao Jialin knew it but didn't know why. Or they know this knowledge point but don't know where this knowledge point comes from. Through this kind of learning, it is naturally a great improvement for him.
In addition to reading, Gogarin wrote many essays, non-fictions, and literary criticisms of his own, most of which were published in the regional journals of YA City. Some of them were better written, so they were sent to the publications of the provincial capitals. On the one hand, it is to improve oneself, and on the other hand, it is also to complete the task of being a member of the association. This daily task has not only quantitative considerations, but also quantitative considerations. Top literary works are required, and a considerable number of manuscripts from regional publications are also required, otherwise everyone will have enough to go high, and these regional publications will not have good content?
It's the New Year soon! It was the first New Year that Gogarin had traveled through.
In this era, the unit will pay a lot of benefits during the Chinese New Year. Although the Writers' Association is a Qingshui Yamen with no benefits, Gao Jialin still received 50 catties of meat tickets, 10 catties of oil tickets, 3 catties of sugar tickets and five-meter cloth tickets from Sister Zhang, these benefits are much less than those of other units, but they are already good. When Gao Jialin was a member of Gaojia Village, he had nothing.
For these bills, Gogarin was naturally very happy. He is not short of money, only lack of tickets, and in this era, it is not possible to buy things with only money. Now that the tickets are also available, you can buy them aggressively.
Gao Jialin and Liu Qiaozhen bought a lot of New Year's goods and happily returned to Gaojia Village for the New Year.
Gao Yude couldn't withstand his son's persuasion, and finally built a new cave. Although according to Gogarin's meaning, he directly built two new caves and used the original caves as warehouses. Gao Yude only hit one building in the end, and he thought that his son and daughter-in-law could live in a new cave when they came back, so that they didn't have to squeeze with the old man, so as not to be embarrassed.
Although Gogarin gave the old couple a lot of money, they were always reluctant to spend it and saved it all. Gogarin's repeated persuasion was useless, so he had to let it go.
When Gao Jialin and Liu Qiaozhen came back, not only Gao Yude and Liu Liben were excited, but the entire Gaojia Village came to gossip and watch the excitement. The three catties of fruit candy that Gogarin bought were quickly dispersed for the children.
This made Liu Qiaozhen a little pouted, and felt that Gao Jialin was a little too big-hearted. A child can just give a candy, how can he catch a lot?
"Huh! Don't pout, you can hang an oil bottle on your mouth! Gao Jialin coaxed his wife in a low voice, "Don't worry, I still have more sugar tickets, the second uncle and Zhang Kenan have given some, and I have changed some myself." Enough for you to eat until your teeth are decayed! ”
"I think you're too big!" Liu Qiaozhen is not always coaxed so easily, "You are so generous, it will make my in-laws think that I have no way to run the family!" ”
"Okay! Everything is up to you! Gogarin had the courage to admit his mistake, "In the future, the distribution of our family's things will be up to you!" You are our big shopkeeper! ”。
Liu Qiaozhen is now cloudy and sunny.
The later generation of Gao Jialin was born in the 90s, and he did not have much impression of the excitement of the New Year in the countryside in this era.
