Chapter 61 Short Stories
"Mr. Ye, yes, the sales volume of "Metamorphosis" has exceeded [-] copies, and it is estimated to be the best-selling novella this year. It's really amazing for a newcomer to achieve such a result in their first show!"

"That's it"

"By the way, there will be many competitions for awards in the literary world. I think "Metamorphosis" can definitely compete for it! At that time, our publishing house will definitely recommend your novel, Mr. Ye!"

"Okay, thank you."

"This is what we should do haha. In addition, there seem to be some bad voices in the critics recently. I don't think you need to pay too much attention to these, Mr. Ye. After all, not everyone has enough vision and foresight. of."

"What's going on in the critics? I'm a bit busy these days, and I don't pay much attention to this aspect."

"It's good not to pay attention, haha, by the way, Mr. Ye, the short story contest I mentioned earlier."

"The manuscript has been sent to your mailbox. If you find it inconvenient, you can print it out. Sorry for the trouble."

"It's okay, I've been looking forward to it for a long time haha."

Before Ye Che was about to leave for the program group, the publishing house made a phone call, and the things they said were not complicated. They just told Ye Che about the sales of "Metamorphosis" and asked about the short stories mentioned before. novel thing.

As for which short story to choose, Ye Che had hesitated for a long time on this issue, but there was no way. In the long history, excellent short stories have emerged one after another, and because of the different times, there are often great differences in creative ideas. .

For example, Anton Chekhov, one of the three great masters of short stories, called those writers who did not tell stories well "tricksters". Important, and there is no doubt that Chekhov's stories are well written, and it is in those stories full of irony or warmth that Chekhov built his literary edifice.

However, with the development of the times, the field of short stories has also undergone great changes. For example, Ye Che, one of the most famous collections of short stories in the modern world, is Raymond Carver's When We Talk About Love What to talk about", in this collection of short stories, the sense of story and dramatic presence is extremely weak, and more is trivial life.

By the way, as a literary giant, Chekhov is actually a very interesting person. For example, he once tried to name his collection of novels "Please buy this book, or I will beat you up", or "Please You are gone, don’t you still buy it”.
Fortunately, this idea was finally stopped by his friend.

Another example is that he once wrote in a letter to his friend: "I have no money to use, but I am too lazy to earn money. Please send me some money. I will never break my promise. I promise that I will only be lazy until May." , I’ve been sitting down to write since June [-]st.”

To be honest, Ye Che felt that there was a high probability that Chekhov would not start writing after June [-]st.
Cough
Another example of his other words: "I don't feel bad about myself, I haven't lost weight, and I am hopeful for the future. The weather is beautiful, and the money is almost zero."

Well, this writer is probably an optimist
However, although he liked Chekhov very much, Ye Che finally chose another work to submit. After all, it still had to match the theme of the essay.

Leaving these matters aside, just as Ye Che hung up the phone, Su Mo walked up to Ye Che like a shark that smelled fishy and asked, "Uncle, did you mean that the previous batch of goods sold for sale?" The ones are very good? How much can our brothers get for this batch of goods?"

While Su Mo said this, he looked around carefully, and then stretched out two slender and beautiful fingers to rub them skillfully.
Ye Che: "."

You're making it look like we've done something illegal.
Also, you're too skilled in this movement, aren't you? !

"Be serious." He knocked on Su Mo's head angrily, and Ye Che replied, "The sale is not bad, but the manuscript fee probably won't be sent out until some time ago. This batch of goods is bah! It's the first to be given." That part of the manuscript fee should be worth tens of thousands of dollars, right?"

Ye Che, who felt as if he had grown up, smiled crookedly, "I'll treat you to a big meal when the manuscript fee is sent out."

"Uncle, you laugh so ugly!" Su Mo, who stretched out his hand to pry back the corner of Ye Che's mouth, nodded in satisfaction, then happily talked about what he wanted to eat, "Eat a big meal? Then I If you want to eat, there are steamed lamb, steamed bear paw, steamed deer tail, roast duck, roast chicken, and roast goose.”

"Are you reporting the name of the dish?" Ye Che glanced at Su Mo speechlessly, then walked to the sofa and picked up his suitcase, "Okay, I'm about to leave soon, you stay at home, we Be back in a few days."

"Know it!"

Although he was a little bit reluctant in his heart, Su Mo, who didn't show it on his face, suddenly thought of something, and asked, "Did the stinky tofu come to see you off today?"

"I let her go about her own business first, so she doesn't have to come and see me off." Ye Che twitched the corners of his mouth when he heard Su Mo's question, "Your cousin always drives like this?"

"Of course not." Hearing Ye Che's question, Su Mo rubbed his chin and thought for a while, and then replied with certainty: "My cousin was very cautious in driving at first, until one day, she suddenly looked at the car in the distance. Then she pointed to the formless wind and said to me, "Things with dreams are freedom! This is God's guidance to me!" Since that day, she has been on the road of racing forever."

Ye Che: "???"

There are too many slots, and I don’t know where to spit it out.
Why does the wind have dreams, hey, hey.
Moreover, why did the good things suddenly involve dreams? !

And then there's some shitty apocalypse? !
When Ye Che was a little messy in the wind, on the other side of the phone, although the phone had been hung up long ago, Lu Li still looked at the phone and remained silent while feeling emotional.

Even after learning about such results, are you still so calm?
You really deserve to be a writer who can write a work like "Metamorphosis".
After being moved for a long time, Lu Li finally remembered the business, excitedly opened his mailbox, and then prepared to print out all the text in the document.

For a more traditional writer like him, paper-based things are the most suitable for his reading habits.

The short story that Ye Che submitted was not long, so it didn't take long for the printer to print it all out. While Lu Li picked up all the manuscript papers excitedly, he still couldn't stop reading this short story in his heart. name.
