After I was reborn, I became a great writer

Chapter 384 "Border Town" and "Ball of Fat"

Ren Changsong's words sounded very familiar. Chen Tianhong suddenly remembered that at the beginning of this year, when he went to the Writers' Association to chat with Zhu Yanlin and the others, he had told himself about this and asked him if he had any new articles to participate in.

At that time, Chen Tianhong had an unfinished youth novel and the planned "Legend of the Condor Heroes", so he said yes, but when he mentioned the type of new book, several old people were very disappointed.

They wanted Chen Tianhong to write traditional novels like "The King of Chess", and science fiction novels like "The Wandering Earth" and "Three-Body Problem". To be honest, they didn't expect them to write youth novels and martial arts novels.

As a result, Chen Tianhong made a request that made them speechless, saying that since it is a literary activity, can online literature be included, after all, Internet literature also belongs to literature.

Zhu Yanlin, the new literary giant who took over as the chairman of the Writers Association Headquarters, immediately rejected it out loud. You must know that the three-year Huaxia Library collection activity is a major event in the domestic literary world. It is organized by the Writers Association Headquarters, the Ministry of Culture, and the Education Bureau These three heavyweight institutions participated in the evaluation.

Evaluate the works under the name of all writers in the past three years, comprehensively consider the content quality, influence, sales volume, popularity among public readers, etc. of the works, involving all aspects, and according to the actual situation of each category, whichever ranks the top 1-100 copies will be collected in the National Library of China.

All classifications are based on the national classification method, which is comprehensively divided into five major categories and 22 basic categories, and literature is only one of them.

Of course, the category of literature occupies a relatively large proportion in previous years. Each of its subcategories takes at least the top ten, and if there are more, it can reach one hundred. Unlike other categories, such as law, industrial technology, natural science, etc., which seem to occupy a large category, in fact The final collection of books does not have as many literature subcategories.

But even so, among the literary works collected in the past, there is no such thing as online literature.

Internet literature has never been recognized in the circle, and it has only gotten better in recent years. Apart from benefiting from the rapid development of Internet novels and being recognized by more and more readers, Chen Tianhong is also indisputable.

Not to mention the popularity of several online novels under his name, but the controversy between him and Zhao Wenhua, the article "Diary of a Madman", and the phrase "It has always been like this, right?" have left many writers with lingering fears.

In addition to the subsequent "King of Internet Literature" selection activities and his rapidly rising fame, who would dare to underestimate Internet writers, because Chen Tianhong was born in Internet literature.

However, it is only an improvement, and it has not been fully recognized by mainstream literature, so Zhu Yanlin will subconsciously reject it.

Of course, it is also troublesome to add new categories, not only the cooperation agreement, but also the other two departments.

After listening to Zhu Yanlin's explanation, Chen Tianhong didn't speak any more. Indeed, this matter cannot be solved by him alone, or in other words, there is still a good time to go.

Seeing that Chen Tianhong was unhappy, Zou Yingde jokingly said, Tianhong, if you write another critical article, maybe everyone will agree.

The speaker had no intention of listening to it, so Chen Tianhong wrote it down.

"Celestica? Are you listening? Celestica?"

After not hearing a reply for a long time, Ren Changsong asked on the phone.

"There, there, President Ren, I'm sorry, I was distracted. Are the few poems I wrote enough to be compiled into a collection of poems?"

"Why is it not enough? You have written more than a dozen poems. It is perfectly fine to compile a small collection of poems. You just need to agree. Leave the next thing to me. Tianhong, you don't know. Taihang, I don't want to be selected for one or two books in this collection event like in previous years."

While talking, Ren Changsong actually complained to the phone.

What he said is also true, because even if the library collects poems, it is still a collection of poems, and a single poem cannot be published in a book.

Although there are quite a few poets in China, only a small half of them can publish poetry anthologies, and very few of them can be selected for collection activities. After all, although all poems in an anthology are not required to be of high quality, they are Can't be too bad!

Therefore, there are really not many people who can meet this condition. This is why Chen Tianhong is valued by Ren Changsong. His poems are not bad.

"President Ren, how about I add a few more songs?"

"Okay, you have a new poem? Come and tell me."

"Not yet, there is still time, I should be able to come up with a few more songs, but President, I have a condition."

"Good boy, you dare to negotiate terms with me, you can talk about it first."

"I want online literature to appear in the collection classification of the National Library of China. I have decided to apply for it next year. I hope you can support it then."

Chen Tianhong stated his "conditions". This year's event has already been announced, so it can only be postponed to the next one. As for the new classification, the three departments will definitely seek Ren Changsong's opinion.

"can."

Ren Changsong readily agreed, and nodded, saying he agreed.

Then he told Chen Tianhong a few more words, saying that after the poem was written, he would send it to him as soon as possible, and then hung up the phone.

Chen Tianhong, who returned to the dormitory, found that Yu Zhijie was the only one in the dormitory, which shocked him, thinking that Gao Wanfeng and Ximenxue left without saying hello.

In the end, Yu Zhijie told him that Gao Wanfeng went out to find his girlfriend, and he wanted to spend more time with Ai Shihui before leaving, while Ximenxue went to other dormitories to chat with classmates who hadn't left.

Only then did Chen Tianhong feel relieved. Seeing that Yu Zhijie was reading a book in a professional course, he didn't chat with him too much. He went to the desk and turned on the computer. He wanted to prepare new works for this library collection activity.

In the last library collection event, Chen Tianhong had two works selected, one was "Rural Teacher". What's interesting is that this book was not included in the category of science fiction, but was included in the category of educational books.

The other is "The Best of Us", which belongs to the category of youth literature. The reason given by the jury is that this book has written nostalgic memories to the extreme. It is a commemorative book about campus youth for a generation, but Zhenhua Of the trilogy, only this one was selected.

Two books were selected at the same time, which is already very good, but it was not considered the best in that session. There was an old-fashioned writer who was included in a total of four books. From this, he entered the management of the Writers Association at the headquarters and became a real top writer.

This time, Chen Tianhong came up with the idea. Not only did he want to participate, he also wanted to become the author with the most works selected, so that his proposal could be respected and recognized.

What's more, after two years of precipitation, he can write some relatively in-depth works, which not only enhances his popularity in the literary world, but also paves the way for the book he finally planned, so that when the book is released, it will not be too late. As for being too shocking.

"Which one to choose?"

Before starting to write, Chen Tianhong fell into a tangle again. There were many books for him to choose from in his mind, but he couldn't choose casually.

First of all, it is necessary to criticize satire, that is, the few critical literary works in the past and modern times are either not in line with the modern history of China in this world, or they are too sharp, and writing them will cause an uproar, which is not in line with his current personality. set up.

After much deliberation, Chen Tianhong decided to put the critical category first. He calculated the works that could be selected this year. If there is no accident, "Back View", "Three-Body Problem", "Diary of a Madman", and "The King of Chess" will definitely be selected. , other works have a chance, but are not guaranteed.

In this way, there are prose, science fiction, and traditional novels, and we have to choose other types.

In the end, Chen Tianhong chose a comprehensive novella in all aspects. This novel not only has the local customs, but also shows the kindness of human nature. It describes a small border town like a paradise.

The whole text is beautiful, with the romance of lyric poetry, it can be said that the aesthetic art has been written to the extreme.

More importantly, it wrote about the traditional virtues of the Chinese people, which had high literary value in previous lives. It was selected as one of the top 20 Chinese novels in the 100th century, and ranked second. You must know that No. 1 is "Scream" by Mr. Lu.

Next, Chen Tianhong created a new blank document and wrote "Border Town" on the first line.

I wrote this until after six o'clock in the afternoon.

Fortunately, when Gao Wanfeng called to ask for dinner, he had already typed out the last sentence.

"Zhijie, Lao Gao and his girlfriend are yelling for dinner, you go and yell for Ximen, I really admire him, he can chat and brag all afternoon, he is not tired."

Chen Tianhong spoke to Yu Zhijie who was reading a book, then edited the coded manuscript, and sent it to the submission mailbox for library collection activities.

In addition to judging works that have been released within three years, this event also accepts manuscripts of new works. However, relatively speaking, the jury has high quality requirements for new works, and it is generally difficult to pass manuscripts.

After the email was sent successfully, Yu Zhijie dragged Ximenxue back. Ximenxue seemed to have not had a good chat and was still struggling.

Seeing this, Chen Tianhong joined in, and together with Yu Zhijie set him up on the left and right, and went down the dormitory.

It was not until the parking place in the school that Ximenxue gave up his resistance, and he muttered something before getting into the car.

"I really want to chat, I just don't want to eat this meal."

Suddenly, Yu Zhijie and Chen Tianhong looked at each other.

Ximenxue was supposed to leave in the afternoon, but he said that the alcohol in his body hadn't been digested, and driving was considered drunk driving, so he dragged it off until night.

But after the evening meal, Gao Wanfeng and he were about to leave.

"Zhijie, get in the car, let's treat them to their favorite food for this meal."

Chen Tianhong sighed, and greeted Yu Zhijie to get into his car.

The two cars arrived at the restaurant they often went to. There were only five people, but Chen Tianhong and Yu Zhijie ordered a table full of dishes. In their words, don't worry, take your time. eat.

There was no drink for this meal, Ximenxue wanted to use this excuse again, but after today, he still has to leave tomorrow, people always have to part.

At the wine table, the five people tacitly did not mention the matter of parting, and chatted about happy things while eating slowly.

However, no matter how slow the meal is, there will always be time to finish it.

"Come on, does the boss know that we won't be here anymore, so he started to be perfunctory in cooking. Look at this plate of mutton stew. What about mutton? I can see suet."

Ximenxue vented her depression to the boss and the dishes.

"I'm afraid the mutton got into the dog's belly, but you are smart enough to keep all the mutton fat."

Gao Wanfeng seized the last chance to quarrel with Ximenxue.

Chen Tianhong on the side also wanted to say a few words, but after seeing the pure white suet in the bowl, a flash of light came to his mind. He only thought about domestic literary works in his previous life, and forgot about foreign works. up.

That's right, it belongs to the category of criticism, but also contains metaphors, and it will not cause everyone's overreaction. This book is the most suitable.

"Ximen, you are really my lucky star! Haha, why don't you leave tonight? I will reward you well."

After solving the problem of the second novel, Chen Tianhong was in a good mood, and felt that Ximenxue's face became more beautiful, very cute.

"Which. Tianhong, we will have a chance to meet again in the future. Tonight. I'd better go tonight. Don't worry about my safety. I'll be there in two or three hours."

Ximen Xue originally wanted to go along with the flow and stay with his good brother for one more day, but the more he tasted, the more he didn't like it, especially Chen Tianhong's eyes, which were naked, he was afraid.

"What lucky star?"

Gao Wanfeng and Ai Shihui didn't understand.

"I plan to prepare new works to participate in this year's library collection activities. Ximen's words just inspired me."

"Are you going to write a new work? What kind of work, tell me?"

"You just thought of it? Then you have been coding all afternoon, what are you coding?"

"Did my words inspire you? What did I say?"

Chen Tianhong smiled and said, "Fiction, two novels, one is artistic, and the other was written in the afternoon, so it can be considered love."

"Artistic nature? Tsk tsk, the kind of body art?"

Ximen Xue became interested.

Everyone raised their middle fingers at him.

About the new work, they briefly chatted a few more words, time is not enough, Gao Wanfeng has to rush to the high-speed rail station.

That's how the dinner came to an end.

In the end, Ximenxue did not choose to stay. He and his three roommates hugged each other. Before leaving, he told him that everyone must come to the wedding and be the best man, and then drove away with red eyes.

Chen Tianhong drove Gao Wanfeng to the high-speed railway station. At the station, Gao Wanfeng and Ai Shihui staged a scene where couples parted ways in a TV series.

It almost aroused the onlookers, everyone was very curious, even if a girl cried, a handsome seven-foot-tall man actually cried like a pear blossom with water.

On the way back, Ai Shihui used up all the toilet paper in the car. Before getting out of the car, she said to Chen Tianhong sobbing that she wanted to read his new work about love.

Chen Tianhong hesitated for a while, but didn't agree, saying that he hadn't finished writing and would send it when he finished.

He was afraid that when he posted it today, Ai Shihui would cry all night. The last sentence of the story of "Border Town" is,
【This person may never come back, maybe he will come back "tomorrow"! 】

With Ai Shihui's current state, she will definitely think of the first one, so...
"Tianhong, you really haven't finished writing?"

When climbing the stairs back to the dormitory, Yu Zhijie asked in disbelief.

"It's finished, today is not suitable for her to read."

"Then me?"

"You're fine. Anyway, I'm a single dog, so I won't enter it."

Yu Zhijie froze for a moment, holding back a word for a long time, "Your uncle."

Back in the dormitory, Chen Tianhong sent "Border Town" to Yu Zhijie, and he recreated a blank document by himself.

This time, the input was three words, "Suet Ball".
