A thick stack of manuscripts was handed to Ma Dudu's hand. Lin Weimin smiled and said, "Let's see if it's enough to be published in your publication."

"Teacher Lin, you really know how to joke!"

Ma Dudu joked with Lin Weimin and put his energy into the manuscript.

Lin Weimin, on the other hand, was chatting with the editors of the China Youth Society who came to watch the excitement.

The news on "Youth Literature" alarmed Wang Weiling, deputy editor-in-chief of China Youth Society and editor-in-chief of "Youth Literature". According to the normal historical trajectory, she should have discovered Lu Yao's "Life" and brought him to Yanjing

Revise the manuscript.

"Hello, Chief Editor Wang!" Lin Weimin greeted Wang Weiling and shook hands.

Wang Weiling's face was full of smiles, "I really didn't expect that Xiao Ma would really be able to invite you to write your manuscript."

"Haha, Dudu is an excellent editor, and we hit it off right away."

The sedan chair was carried by everyone. Lin Weimin had just asked Ma Dudu for a favor a few days ago. Now he came to deliver the manuscript and said a few kind words in front of Wang Weiling. He was worthy of Ma Dudu.

But these characteristics did not weaken the shock that the novel "Chasing the Murderer" brought to me.

As for Teacher Lin's "Chasing the Murderer", I think it can be called a masterpiece of avant-garde novels, a mountain that even Ma Yuan would have difficulty browsing!"

Everyone laughed and asked about the specific plot of "Chasing the Murderer". Ma Dudu talked about it for a long time, but the more they listened, the more they felt that it was cloudy and foggy.

However, Teacher Lin's "Chasing the Murderer" is more advanced and mature than "The Temptation of Gangdise" in terms of narrative and structure.

Lin Weimin rejected Ma Dudu's kindness and was escorted out of the dormitory building by the editors of "Youth Literature". Wang Weiling also came out to see him off.

But who asked someone to be the editor-in-chief and deputy editor-in-chief? Everyone dared to be angry but dare not speak out.

He paused for a while before continuing to conclude: "The narrative of traditional novels may serve the characters or the ending. In general, it will always highlight a key point. But after reading this article by Teacher Lin,

"Chasing the Murderer", I completely understood that the narrative of avant-garde novels only serves the narrative itself, and the work and narrative cannot be separated. Only when you read the entire work can you understand the content of these narratives."

Can you understand?

Wang Weiling made a face, "Why are you so anxious? Dudu will do the first review, Xiaohong will review it, and I will do the final review. This is the rule of the editorial department. After reviewing the manuscript, you can read it if you want. No one will stop you."

As for the manuscript Lin Weimin brought, Ma Dudu only needed one page to know its quality. His eyes were on the manuscript, not wanting to miss a word.

That’s it!

Ma Dudu feels that the novel "Chasing the Murderer" not only sets a benchmark for avant-garde novels for all authors and readers, but is also an insurmountable mountain.

"Let's talk about the evaluation first. A few months ago, Ma Yuan's "The Temptation of Gangdise" came out. I think everyone was shocked. Some people commented that it was the first work of avant-garde novels.

"I'm not saying this to compliment Teacher Lin. Everyone will definitely have their own judgment after reading the manuscript. I'm just here to share my thoughts with you."

"I remember that when I read "The Temptation of Gangdise", what surprised me the most was the narrative and structure in it, which almost overturned my experience of reading novels in the past ten years. This is also the reason why "The Temptation of Gangdise"

The biggest reason for its popularity.

Seeing that it was already noon, Lin Weimin stood up with a smile, "It's getting late. I have to go back to work, so I won't chat with you all."

After declining Wang Weiling's invitation to sit in the office for a while, Lin Weimin continued to stay in the editorial office of "Youth Literature", surrounded by a group of editors, everyone talking and laughing.

All I can say is that to read this novel, you have to be patient and, most importantly, have some IQ, otherwise just following the small and subtle clues that Teacher Lin has laid out in it will be enough to make you collapse.

His approach did not slow down the review speed. On the contrary, because of his devotion to reading, he would turn pages from time to time, very quickly.

The manuscripts were being read in Zhou Xiaohong's hands. As they were passed on one by one, everyone would not be able to read them all within a few days, so they could only use Ma Dudu to "listen to them first".

When Ma Dudu said this, he looked at Lin Weimin again, "What I admire most is that Teacher Lin used this novel to truly demonstrate to us what a pioneer novel in the true sense is."

A wry smile appeared on Ma Dudu's face, "Teacher Lin, please stop teasing me. I am not qualified to change your manuscript!"

While Lin Weimin was chatting with everyone, Ma Dudu focused all his energy on Lin Weimin's manuscript.

Ma Dudu nodded slightly, "Have you finished reading?"

"Have you finished reading Dudu?" Noticing Ma Dudu's gaze, Lin Weimin stopped chatting with the editors and asked Ma Dudu.

Teacher Lin used this article "Chasing the Murderer" today to tell me what "the characteristics or shortcomings completely depend on the level of the writer".

After he left, Wang Weiling looked at Zhou Xiaohong and said, "Send the manuscript over to me after you finish it."

Huang Bintang said: "You told us the ending, and we were still shocked!"

Ma Dudu has always felt that reading Lin Weimin's works is a very enjoyable thing, because he can always read a sense of smoothness in these works. Unlike many works, they may be so smooth at the beginning, but once they enter the middle, they fall into a trap.

A stagnant situation.

Ma Dudu half-squinted his eyes, recalling the shock he felt when he finished reading the novel.

The structure of avant-garde novels is scattered and broken, emphasizing narrative, no longer focusing on character descriptions, no clear value orientation, and giving up the pursuit of truth and essence.

When Ma Dudu was discussing with everyone, he said this from the bottom of his heart.

When Ma Dudu said this, Lin Weimin laughed and said: "Hey, Dudu's evaluation is too high, you are putting me on the table to roast me!"

"Especially the ending designed by Teacher Lin for Zou Zhengdao, I never quite understood it when I listened to it before. I think it is actually the perfect ending to design an ending for Zou Zhengdao where he desperately runs away after knowing his identity. Then

What a bitter irony.

I saw all of these characteristics in "Chasing the Murderer".

Several young editors clamored: "Editor-in-Chief, we haven't read it yet!"

Most editors have the habit of writing manuscripts quickly. No matter how long the manuscript is, an experienced editor will always be able to roughly understand the quality of the work at a glance, and then choose whether to continue reading.

"No, no, no, you will know after reading it. Teacher Lin has told me this story before, but after reading it, I am still shocked, believe me!"

Ma Dudu looked at the reactions of his colleagues and felt a sense of pride in his heart.

"Dudu, Dudu, lend me the manuscript." Zhou Xiaohong's smile was very hearty, and she seemed to be a cheerful person at first glance. Only when we were chatting just now did we find out that Jin Ying's "Oh, Xiangxue" won the honor of National Excellent Short Story.

》 was edited by her.

Colleagues had already been intrigued by his description and praised: "Dudu's story is really good. We can't wait to read it."

He woke up from his narcissism and smiled sheepishly.

On the contrary, it is precisely because of the above characteristics that when I read the end of the novel, when the protagonist Zou Zhengdao faced the mirror and realized that he was the criminal, I deeply felt the shock and despair in his heart.

and difficult to decide.”

But Teacher Lin chose to leave a blank here. Zou Zhengdao's story ended abruptly when he learned his identity, and everything after that was left to the readers to think, imagine and understand.

If I hadn't heard Teacher Lin tell this story before, I wouldn't have been able to fully understand it just after reading it. Even now, when I stand in front of you, I can only tell you my feelings and opinions, but I can't completely retell the plot of the novel.

"Don't mention it, Teacher Lin. You have to have lunch before you leave anyway. I'll invite you out to eat." Ma Dudu said enthusiastically.

Ma Dudu thought of Lin Weimin's speech again, "Avoiding pure objective description and subjective expression, while maintaining the closest and natural connection with readers."

But Ma Dudu shook his head with a serious expression.

"What do you think? Is there anything that needs to be modified?"

‘Grass is gray, snakes thread, veins lie thousands of miles away’ are not enough to describe the clues contained in this novel, but this is not what impresses me the most.”

Seeing how serious he was, everyone's smiles faded and their expressions became a bit solemn.

Some people have always said that avant-garde novels emphasize form over content. If this novel is published, it will definitely slap these people in the face and let them know what it means to pay equal attention to form and content.

Having said this, Ma Dudu's face was filled with unspeakable admiration.

This sense of smoothness is consistent in Lin Weimin's works. It may not be until the end of the novel that you suddenly realize that you have finished reading it without even realizing it.

"No, it can't be done. I took a leave of absence, and if I don't come back to lead | the boss will get angry!"

"Teacher Lin has sublimated avant-garde novels!"

Ma Dudu and Lin Weimin looked at each other, "Teacher Lin, let me tell you something first?"

I still remember the above conversation between Teacher Lin and a male classmate. The male classmate asked Teacher Lin whether the characteristics of avant-garde novels were actually shortcomings. Teacher Lin said bluntly, which probably meant that the characteristics or shortcomings completely depended on the level of the writer.

"Okay, stop flattering me!"

"Sorry, I'm a little too intoxicated!"

After Ma Dudu finished his long speech, the atmosphere in the office was still as calm as when he spoke.

"Forget it, I'd better stop talking about it. Just wait and see. You will definitely be shocked."

Ma Dudu felt like this now. He raised his eyes and looked at Lin Weimin, who was chatting with his colleagues.

"Look at what you said, why do you feel like I'm the king of your magazine?"

"It's okay, I told you."

It feels like, like, we suddenly became Zou Zhengdao standing in front of the mirror."

"I think everyone should have read the transcript of Teacher Lin's speech at Yan'an Normal University. At that time, Teacher Lin gave the definition and characteristics of avant-garde novels.

Ma Dudu handed the manuscript to Zhou Xiaohong, and other colleagues asked: "Dudu, how about it? Tell us about it."

Colleagues laughed.

"It's funny, it's funny." Ma Dudu nodded to everyone and said, "It's not my words that are good, but Teacher Lin's writing that's good!"

What she said was so righteous that people who didn't know the truth would probably believe it.

Ma Dudu looked at his colleagues who were watching and sorted out his thoughts.

Huang Bintang muttered: "It's obvious that he is using power for personal gain!"

Not only because I was able to get Teacher Lin’s manuscript, but also because Teacher Lin was able to write such an awesome work.

Yes, after Ma Dudu thought about it, there was only one word that could describe Teacher Lin and "Chasing the Murderer".
