Backtracking to the Age of Literature and Art

Chapter 248 Germination
Yu Dong sent home after finishing the haircut, and was praised by his mother.

"It's improved. In previous years, before the Chinese New Year, you would stare at you for a haircut. You had been delaying until the last two days. This year, you took the initiative to get a haircut. There is progress. This barber is of a good standard, and both sides are equally aligned. I will go to his house next time for a haircut."

I have to say that Jin Yucheng is indeed of a certain standard.As far as his skills are concerned, if he doesn't engage in literature and opens a hair salon in the future, he will definitely not starve to death.

Getting a haircut before the Chinese New Year seems to have become a custom. Yu Dong doesn't take it seriously, but people who are a little bit older are quite concerned about it.

The next day, Yu Dong took the manuscript to find Cheng Yongxing and the others. As soon as he walked to the lobby of the Writers Association Building, he saw Zhao Lihong standing and chatting with another person.

Yu Dong took the initiative to say hello: "Mr. Zhao, good morning."

"Yu Dong, you're here." Zhao Lihong was talking, and when he saw Yu Dong coming, he responded enthusiastically, and then introduced to the person next to him, "Editor Cao, this is our young generation of Shanghai writers." Yu Dong, the leading figure in the

When Yu Dong heard that Zhao Lihong called the other party's editor-in-chief, he took a closer look at the other party.

This editor-in-chief Cao looks about 60 years old, with gray temples, but he is in good spirits, and he is well dressed and his hair is combed meticulously.

"Yu Dong, this is the editor-in-chief of "Sprouting", Mr. Cao Yang."

Yu Donggang was wondering if it was Cao Yang from "Sprout", and Zhao Lihong answered his doubts.

"Long admiration, long admiration."

The two shook hands, and Cao Yang said with a smile: "I should say this. I have been hearing your name for more than a year. I didn't expect to be lucky today and meet a real person. You know, our "Sprout" It's a youth magazine with a special focus on young writers like you. It's just a pity..."

Cao Yang looked at the document bag in Yu Dong's hand again, and asked, "Are you here to deliver manuscripts today?"

"Yes." Yu Dong nodded, there was nothing to hide about this kind of thing.

""Shanghai Literature" or "Harvest"?"

""reward"."

Zhao Lihong was a little strange at the side, "Then why didn't you bring it yesterday?"

Yu Dong said truthfully, "I didn't plan to publish a magazine before, and we chatted temporarily."

He thought about it for a long time before and decided not to post it in the magazine.There is no way to publish this type of novel in China, and there are no such special publications at all.Large magazines may not be willing to publish it, and it would be meaningless for small magazines to publish it.

After all, it is a long novel. With Yu Dong's current reputation, it is enough to publish the booklet directly. Although publishing the magazine may bring publicity effects, it may also affect the sales of the booklet later. There are advantages and disadvantages. It all depends on the choice.

It's just that Cheng Yongxing and the others wanted to take a look at it yesterday, so Yu Dong agreed, since it won't hurt him anyway.

When Cao Yang heard Yu Dong's words, his eyes gradually narrowed, "Because it's a long story, so you don't want to publish it in a magazine, and you want to publish a booklet?"

"This is also one reason, mainly because of the genre, reasoning, thriller, few magazines are suitable."

"That's true, at least it's unlikely that "Harvest" will accept this kind of manuscript." Cao Yang thought for a while, and then said, "Well, I happen to be going to "Harvest" too, let's go together. Li Hong, I went to "Harvest" with Yu Dong."

"It's okay, you go."

Cao Yang suddenly said that he was going to "Harvest", of course Yu Dong could feel something was wrong, and subconsciously felt that he had taken a fancy to his manuscript.

"Sprout" did publish a lot of mystery novels later, but it has not developed in this area now.And to be honest, "Sprout" is not the first choice for Yu Dong now.

Not only for Dong, but for any famous writer, "Sprout" is the last choice.

It's not that everyone looks down on "Sprout", it's just that the style is inappropriate. Although "Sprout" is a youth literature publication, to be honest, there are more youth literature, and the audience is basically middle school students.

Yu Dong even believed that part of the articles in "Sprout" should be responsible for people's misunderstanding of literary youth.

There is nothing wrong with reading "Sprout" for middle school students, but many students no longer read books after middle school, and their understanding of literature is still at the "Sprout" stage.This makes these people, when they grow up, still feel that literature and art, such as Mo Yan, Yu Hua, Bi Feiyu, and Chen Zhongshi, are all literary thieves if their writing skills are not good, and their stories sell misery.

Maybe in the future, Yu Dong will also become a literary thief in this part of the population.

But in fact, it is not "Sprouting" that is wrong. "Sprouting" has at least exported a concept of "literature" to the students. Even if this concept is vague, it is still sprouting enough.

Yu Dong went to "Harvest" with Cao Yang, and it happened that Li Xiaolin was in the lobby of the office. When he saw them, he was a little surprised and said, "Why did you two come together?"

Cao Yang explained with a smile: "I met you downstairs, and I happened to have something to ask you, so I came here together."

"That's really a coincidence. Let's go to my office and talk."

Li Xiaolin heard from Cheng Yongxing that Yu Dong was coming today, and he also knew that he had brought the manuscript, but because Cao Yang was here, Li Xiaolin didn't rush to mention it.

"What is Editor-in-Chief Cao looking for?" Li Xiaolin made a cup of tea for the two of them.

Cao Yang waved his hands with a smile: "My business is not in a hurry. Didn't Yu Dong come to deliver the manuscript to you? You should take care of his business first."

Li Xiaolin is such a fine person, Cao Yang has such a mouth, she can taste it.Cao Yang didn't come looking for her for anything, he probably came here for Yu Dong.

But she was not too worried. If Yu Dong's manuscript was suitable for publication in "Harvest", it would be impossible for "Sprout" to snatch it.If it is not suitable, it is also good to transfer to "Sprout".

They are all brother units, and it is normal for manuscripts to be circulated.

"Okay, then I'll read the manuscript first." Li Xiaolin nodded, and then took the manuscript from Yu Dong.

Cao Yang was not idle by the side, Li Xiaolin had seen one, and he took one and watched it together.

After all, Li Xiaolin was young, so she read the manuscript faster. When she finished it, Cao Yang still had a small stack in his hand.

After reading "Fatal Identity", Li Xiaolin was a little confused. To be honest, this kind of novel is really not suitable for "Harvest", but it is indeed an excellent novel. Let's not mention the elements of reasoning and horror, from a literary point of view It is said that this is an absurd drama, and the main content of the novel is to analyze the influence of family and school on children's education.

However, in order to increase the sense of suspense and horror, Yu Dong's writing style is more popular.In other words, in this novel, Li Xiaolin can no longer see Yu Dong, only the stories and characters in the book.

The stories are really beautiful, but literature and stories are not the same thing.
