Rebirth of Rural Literary Life

Chapter 660 Flow is not as good as open source

"He Ping, I brought you a new friend."

As soon as Ma Yuan entered, He Ping saw the people behind him.

"Who is this……"

"This is Wu Tongzhi, a reporter from Youth Daily. He has interviewed me before, and this time he is here to do an in-depth report on the Writers' Village." Ma Yuan explained.

He Ping is now sensitive to the words "reporter" and "report", but considering that "Youth Daily" is still a big newspaper with integrity, he got up to welcome Wu Tongzhi.

After several people sat down, Wu Tongzhi explained to He Ping and Li Tuo his thoughts on the in-depth report on the Writers' Village and the series of reports on the 80s cultural circle.

After listening to the two, they also felt that Wu Tongzhi's idea was very good. He Ping thought for a while and said: "It would be too wasteful to just do a series of reports on such a good subject. Why don't we publish it in a collection after it takes shape? A publishing house can help promote it.”

Wu Tongzhi was very happy to get He Ping's affirmation, "That would be great, I hope this series of reports can go on smoothly. This report on Writers' Village is just the beginning of the series of reports, and it will cause you trouble."

He Ping still welcomes serious reports that don't add oil and vinegar, "This is to add luster and popularity to our writers' village. It should be us thanking you."

Taking advantage of the trend, Wu Tongzhi proposed to interview He Ping as the beginning of this in-depth interview with the Writers' Village, and He Ping agreed after hesitating for a moment.

After all, this is something that is beneficial to the development of the writer's village, and he can still trust the reputation of "Youth Daily".

"Okay, why not take advantage of today!" He Ping said.

Wu Tongzhi hesitated and said, "I haven't prepared the interview outline yet..."

He Ping smiled calmly: "It's okay, I have time today, you can ask me to answer, there is no time limit."

"Okay, wait for a while, I'll prepare." Wu Tongzhi went to work on his interview outline after finishing speaking.

He Ping chatted with Ma Yuan and Li Tuo.

"I discussed with Master Tuo about running a popular literature magazine for the writer's village," He Ping said.

Ma Yuan asked with interest: "Popular literature? Which type?"

Li Tuo said: "Martial arts novels, Hong Kong and Taiwan martial arts novels have gradually spread to China in the past two years, and they are very popular. Just now I told He Ping that everyone hopes to save money for the writer's village, but the effect of saving money is definitely not as good as open source .The various conditions in the Writer’s Village are now sufficient to support us to run another magazine for public release. As long as we can promote it properly, this martial arts magazine still has some prospects, and the problems of the Writer’s Village will be solved by then.”

Everyone tells you to invest less money, but you want to make more money.

He Ping's reverse thinking made Ma Yuan feel refreshed, "He Ping must have come up with this idea."

Li Tuo also admitted, "It is indeed what he thought."

"I have never admired a few people in my life. You must be one of them. The ideas in your mind are always different from others, and you are always better than others." Ma Yuan admired He Ping.

He Ping waved his hand, "What a brilliant idea. Everyone's intentions are good, but I think the uniqueness of the Writers' Village should not be wasted just like this. It's just a little change."

"Have you figured out the name of the magazine?" Ma Yuan asked.

Li Tuo shook his head, "I just mentioned this matter, I haven't had time to think about it yet."

"How about calling it "Jiang Hu Zhi"?" Ma Yuan said.

"You can change your mind very quickly. I just heard that a magazine will be launched, and you have already thought of the name." Li Tuo teased.

Ma Yuan joked: "As long as I don't write a book, my inspiration is inexhaustible."

Several people laughed.

Ma Yuan is now a well-known "writing-difficult household" in the writer's village. It's not that he can't write, but he really can't write a single word unless he is forced to do so.

This is probably a common problem of many writers.

Compared with Ma Yuan, many young writers in the writer's village are completely different.

With He Ping, a later generation, the Writers Village has a strict process for the cultivation system of writers, and has very high requirements for the concentration and rigor of writers in writing.

In the writer’s village, there is a training proposed by He Ping and refined by the editors, called associative exercise, which makes writers call pervert every time they try.

The content is also very simple, just give you a word or a short sentence, and then let you write it freely, there is no upper limit.

The most painful thing is when people write without purpose. This exercise is to simulate the state of writers when they have no inspiration.

Many people have a misunderstanding that they always think that inspiration comes by waiting. Maybe when a flash of inspiration flashes in my mind, ideas will flow like a fountain.

But more often, the inspiration comes from continuous writing.

When you write enough, the outline of the story in your mind will become clearer and clearer, and then the final story will become a matter of course.

Speaking of which, this exercise is only halfway through, and it is far from being abnormal.

The real point is when you write that you can't write any more, then the editor will ask you to delete the content.

It is to delete all the content that you think is irrelevant to the theme and does not affect the direction of the story. This process is more painful than writing aimlessly.

In many cases, the author himself has a strong sense of identity with the content of the writing, which involves the problem of human narcissism.A really good author should have the ability to put himself outside the story.

Only in this way can the author be able to distinguish whether what he has written has enough touching content, instead of looking at it complacently and complacently after writing an article.

This exercise is surprisingly effective in practice, and almost all the writers who have been trained in this exercise have improved their writing.

Many people have also applied this exercise to their actual writing, and the effect is surprisingly good, but the process must be quite painful.

Just, write!You can't write really good things without pain.

Several people chatted for a while, and Wu Tongzhi was ready.

After a few brief exchanges, the two officially entered the interview session.

Wu Tongzhi's thinking is more rigorous, and the questions he asks are also very good. The interview lasted for two hours.

At the end of the interview, Wu Tongzhi wanted to take a photo of He Ping. This is a custom in interviews, and He Ping followed suit.

The interview between him and Wu Tongzhi was done in a wing room, and it was nearing the end of the day.

He Ping was sitting on the chair by the window, and the sunlight slanted on him through the glass. He had one leg crossed, and his expression was relaxed, confident and calm, showing everyone's grace.

Wu Tongzhi found a good angle and pressed the shutter.
