Chapter 27 Don't make me happy!
I happened to meet a suitable person in my dream, but found that there was no manuscript in my hand. Nothing was more unpleasant than this. However, Wen Xun was not the kind of person who was passive and didn't know how to fight for it. He walked straight towards Lan Yang in the ramen restaurant, "Yo, editor Lan, what a coincidence."
After a while of greeting with the enthusiastic Lan Yang, Wen Xun sent Lan Yang to the teahouse, and then began to write his novels on the spot! This was not because Wen Xun's memory was so clear that he could never forget it, but because he was already too familiar with his novels. He had already pinched back and forth, then broke it apart, and pinched it again. After repeated this several times, he had long been able to remember every word in his novel...
It took not much time for Wen Xun to write the manuscript in his dream. Fortunately, it was in his dream, and there was basically no time passing. After handing the manuscript to Lan Yang, Wen Xun began to wait for Lan Yang's evaluation. He felt that this manuscript had basically tried his best, and he even used the narrative knowledge he had just learned to modify it. It is no exaggeration to say that when Wen Xun was writing just now, he was already surprised how he could write such a good manuscript.
After waiting quietly for a few minutes, Lan Yang said, "Well, it's okay, it's basically done. Although there are some small details that are not handled too well, as a middle school student, it's already OK."
Although this was a compliment to Wen Xun, Wen Xun was still not very happy. He asked, "There are still some small details that have not been handled well?" He already felt that his details were handled too well and had exceeded his expectations long ago. How could he have been handled a little bit unhandled?
"I mean, from the perspective of description, you handled it pretty well. But from the perspective of plot, it's still a little bit, because to be honest, all these plots are reasonable, expected, and the turning point is not that much, and it can't be amazing. However, because the basic details are not changed well, even if the main trunk is not outstanding, it can still attract others to read..." Lan Yang commented.
Hearing Lan Yang's words, Wen Xun looked at Lan Yang in surprise. He never realized that the editorial requirements of the publishing house were so high. No wonder the novel he wrote when he was a child could not be published. "Then I will use this manuscript to submit to the New Yusi Competition. Can I pass the preliminary competition?" Wen Xun lowered his head and thought for a while, then asked Lan Yang.
"What? This manuscript? Xinyusi? What are you kidding!" Lan Yang was anxious when he heard Xun's words, "Isn't Xinyusi a competition for a group of middle school students? If this manuscript is not passed, I will take your surname directly! Brother xx's request is to ask you for the requirements of adults to publish physical books. Do you understand? I said it's okay, that is, you have barely reached the point where adults can publish books. Do you understand? Your manuscript is not a preliminary competition, but even the finals are fine! What you should worry about is that the reviewer thinks that your first middle school student does not have such good writing style and talent!"
Lan Yang's words made Wen Xun stunned. He relied on Lan Yang's comments in his dream for several days and kept revising the article. He never thought that Lan Yang used the standards of adult publishing to demand himself! He thought that Lan Yang asked himself to demand himself by the standards of the New Language Preliminary Competition!
Lan Yang looked at Wen Xun a little disbelief, so he sighed and continued to persuade Wen Xun: "You must know that the Chinese professors in those universities do not major in reading novels, or even Chinese. Their subject is called Chinese Language and Literature. They studied pre-Qin and Han literature, comparative literature, foreign literature, contemporary literature, not whether novels can be published, or how they write novels! What do these novels look like? I make a living! I rely on this!"
...
When Wen Xun woke up from his dream, he still didn't believe what he heard in his dream. He had reached the standard of passing the preliminary round? It was so easy? Although Wen Xun was almost depressed after several consecutive days of revisions. Although he had indeed spent a lot of effort to revise the manuscript, when all this was over, Wen Xun suddenly felt a little unreal again, as if he had not made any particularly hard work...
"Xiao Rou, come on, help me read this novel." After breakfast, Wen Xun, who felt uneasy, called her sister back to the room and handed the manuscript to her sister.
Wen Rou suddenly had her eyes wide open when she got the manuscript. When her brother had just written it a few days ago, she wanted to read the manuscript, but her brother didn't show it to her. Now she could read it to her suddenly, how could she be unhappy? But when Wen Rou reads a few lines, she suddenly felt something was wrong.
Wen Rou looked at the beginning lines repeatedly, and then asked her brother in confusion: "Have you modified it? The beginning is different." Wen Rou only felt that the beginning of her brother was written very plainly. Although there were no gorgeous words, it seemed to read very smoothly.
Although it seems that each line of text is not expressed in full, and it does not point out every action of the character like movies and TV. But I don’t know why, this slightly missing text can make Wen Rou add to the scenes in the imaginary story while watching!
And although the details of the text are a little missing, they look very smooth and can't help but keep reading down as soon as they see it. It seems like a TV series will appear in my mind, and an attractive story will automatically play.
Although the plot written by my brother seems to be easy to remind people of, but for some reason, she just feels that she wants to finish reading this story in one go...
"Brother, did you write this? You wrote it so well! Oh my god! Brother, you really have the talent for writing, hey!" After Wen Rou finished reading the whole story, she said to her brother with little stars in her eyes.
"What do you know about movies? Don't make me happy, it's useless!" Who knew that Wen Xun was unhappy at this time, and he didn't even give his sister a good face.
He took back his manuscript and walked straight out - it turned out that Wen Xun didn't feel that he would be so good after two days of revision. After thinking about it, he could only determine that it was because his sister's appreciation level was too low. She would just show her a novel and she would say it was good. Moreover, the lover's eyes showed Xi Shi, and the sister's eyes saw what her brother wrote, which would definitely be extra points!
So Wen Xun directly threw his sister's judgment out of the sky. He felt that the most educated person in the village had to read his manuscript.
After a while, Wen Xun came to Dingxiang's dormitory. He found that Dingxiang's door was open, and Dingxiang was watching the lesson plan in the room. "Teacher Ding, can you do a favor?" Wen Xun smiled and handed his manuscript to Dingxiang.
"Oh, is this your manuscript? It is used to make your own reputation?" Dingxiang immediately became excited. She looked at Wen Xun's manuscript without saying a word.
When Dingxiang was looking at the manuscript, Wen Xun stared at Dingxiang's expression. After using it for a while, when Dingxiang finished reading all the manuscripts, she sighed and said, "Now I know why you insist on going your own way. I didn't expect you to really have the talent in this area..."
Dingxiang didn't know how Wen Xun revised the manuscript, she thought it was Wen Xun's first manuscript! As for Dingxiang's aesthetics, she felt that if a middle school student could write the first manuscript of Wen Xun, she would have been in vain! Dingxiang, the literary beauty of her ex-girlfriend, was useless, even Niu Jin could not write such a good manuscript!
When Wen Xun decided to go his own way and make his reputation, she was very worried about Wen Xun. But now thinking about it, isn’t this just how can a sparrow know the ambition of a swan? It’s just a carefree thing!
But who knew that just when Dingxiang felt that her confidence was once again hit by the news, she only heard Wen Xun ask suspiciously: "Really? Teacher Ding, don't coax me. I am a farmer and have never read any books. Don't lie to me..."
