This host is too professional

Chapter 361
With the establishment of the four major projects, corresponding offices were also established in the office building of the Wen Zhen Group.

For example, Ye Luo's "Yip's Literature Writing Project" established a "Yip's Literature Office" with a director and two deputy directors.

As the core figure of this project, Ye Luo is not only the general person in charge of the project, but also the office director.The position of deputy director naturally fell to Li Wenzheng, chairman of the Ancient Chinese Literature Association, and Shao Xinzhong, chairman of the New Literature Society.

All work related to Ye's literary writing is coordinated and arranged by the office.

Previously, Ye Luo had left tasks such as publishing and publicity to these two associations.In particular, the Classical Literature Association is called Ye Luo's great steward by people in the industry.

But at that time, the relationship between the two was more of a cooperative relationship.But now that the "Yip's Literary Project" has been established, the original cooperative relationship has turned into an overt working relationship.

It can be said that it is completely justified for Ye Luo to ask the Ancient Chinese Literature Association or the New Literature Association to do something now.Even if Ye Luo's arrangements are not done well, he can be held accountable.

After all, this is a national cultural project and there is no room for error.

But one thing is that Ye Luo originally thought that with these helpers, he would be able to publish books much faster.

But the actual situation was completely different from what he thought.

Since Ye Luo handed over the detailed outline, ideas, creative blueprint and other materials of "The Legend of the Poetry of the Tang Dynasty" to Li Wenzheng, Li Wenzheng has indeed convened a large number of relevant experts and scholars, and established a special "The Legend of the Poetry of the Tang Dynasty" to write group" to create together.

However, these people are not Ye Luo after all.

Although there are many people, they are quite timid when it comes to writing a book.

In other words, it cannot be said that they are timid. To be precise, they should be too cautious and rigorous.

Not to mention every article and every chapter, even every line and every sentence, these scholars and professors had to think about it for a while and select the words that best met Ye Luo's requirements before they dared to write it.

Even when we met the story behind Du Fu's poem writing, everyone had to get together for a meeting to discuss it.

In addition, we are all ordinary people, and they are far less able to write as fast as Ye Luo.

Therefore, compared with Ye Luo's writing speed, it would not be possible to finish writing "The Legend of the Immortals of the Tang Dynasty" in one month.

Judging from the current writing speed of the "Biography of Poems of the Tang Dynasty" writing group, it would be pretty good if it could be written within three months, let alone one month.

Seeing this, Ye Luo simply sorted out the remaining two books in the "Ye Tang Series".

Yes, in Ye Luo's original conception, apart from this "Biography of Poems of the Tang Dynasty", there were only two books left in the entire "Ye Tang Series".

However, Ye Luo does not want to continue writing about a single protagonist in these two books.

Instead, write group portraits directly.

"The Biography of the Four Heroes of the Early Tang Dynasty".

"The Biography of Li Du in the Late Tang Dynasty".

Ye Luo once thought about whether to publish a book according to the original rhythm at this time point in the early Tang Dynasty, but after much deliberation, Ye Luo finally decided to write a joint biography.

This is not to say that Wang Bo, Yang Jiong, Lu Zhaolin, and King Luo Bin are not worthy of separate biographies, but compared with people like Li Bai, Du Fu, and Bai Juyi, they are still somewhat less interesting.

But if these four people are put together to write a joint biography, then the value of this book will definitely be called No. 1 among the first editions of the "Ye Tang Series"!
"Preface to Prince Teng's Pavilion" by Wang Bo.

"Joining the Army" by Yang Jiong.

"Ancient Meanings of Chang'an" by Lu Zhaolin.

King Luo Bin's "Sending People to Yu Yishui".

These are all masterpieces in the literary world.

In particular, Wang Bo's "Preface to Prince Teng's Pavilion" is known as "the first parallel prose in the ages".

In the field of parallel prose, "Preface to Prince Teng's Pavilion" is a well-deserved ceiling.Not only the leader of the Tang Dynasty, but also a unique existence in the entire history.

Of course, like other books, this "Biography of the Four Heroes of the Early Tang Dynasty" is not just about the four of them, but also involves many literati of the Early Tang Dynasty.

For example, Chen Ziang, known as the "bone of poetry", was also one of the bright stars in the early Tang Dynasty.

"I never see the ancients before me, and I never see the newcomers after me. Thinking about the long journey of heaven and earth, I shed tears with sadness."

It is impossible for such a poem to disappear from the light of day with the falling leaves.

It can be said that in Ye Luo's conception, this "Biography of the Four Heroes of the Early Tang Dynasty" revolves around the four heroes of the Early Tang Dynasty, but it includes a masterpiece of the entire literary world of the Early Tang Dynasty.

Its workload is even greater than that of "The Legend of Poetry" and "The Legend of Poetry".

The only other book that can be compared with it in terms of workload is "The Biography of Li Du in the Late Tang Dynasty".

The two books, to a certain extent, have the same underlying logic and specifications.

The former writes about the early Tang Dynasty, while the latter writes about the late Tang Dynasty.

Li Shangyin, Du Mu.

As the protagonist of this book, he naturally occupies the largest space.But in subsequent reprints, it will inevitably expand to other poets in this era.

Ye Luo has almost taken all of these into consideration.

After he handed over the detailed outlines of these two books and other materials to Li Wenzheng, even Chairman Li, who was used to seeing big storms, felt his heart tightening unconsciously.

"Teacher Ye, are you a little too anxious? The "Biography of Poetry" here has just begun." Li Wenzheng was both happy and nervous now, and he felt at a loss throughout his body.

Ye Luo was much calmer, "It's okay, don't be in a hurry, you can take your time. By the way, we don't have enough manpower, so you can continue to recruit by appointment."

As a national cultural project, it is too easy for them to recruit people.

In the "Biography of Poetry" writing group currently established under their project, in addition to these masters from the Ancient Literature Association, there are also some professors and experts in ancient literature recruited from other universities.There are even many scholars and professors who study Tang history.It is no exaggeration to say that this is definitely a major project that consumes a lot of manpower, financial resources and time.

And this is just the writing of a book.

Facing the two books given by Ye Luo, it would be a lie to say that there is no pressure at all.

But Li Wenzheng and the others simply have much more power now than before, and they don’t have enough manpower. They can directly write a report, draw up a list of candidates, and submit it to the general person in charge, Ye Luo. As long as Ye Luo signs it, it will be sent to the Wen Zhen Group. Deputy Team Leader Zhang will review it and almost all of it will be approved.

This is the priority of national projects.

Recruited individuals and units must cooperate and obey unconditionally, and are not allowed to refuse or shirk for any reason.

"I will try my best."

Li Wenzheng nodded. From the perspective of the Classical Literature Association, he was considered the leader of Ye Luo.But the actual situation now is that Ye Luo has become his immediate boss.

Ye Luo didn't say much. He had known Chairman Li Wenzheng for so long and knew what kind of person Chairman Li was.He is very responsible and dedicated in his work, and he is indeed capable. Ye Luo feels relieved when he leaves the subsequent writing work of Ye Tang series to him.

As for Chairman Shao Xinzhong, one of the two deputy directors, he couldn't sit still after seeing the excitement of the Classical Literature Association again. "Director Ye, Chairman Li and the others are too busy over there. We still have no work to do here. Can you please make arrangements for us?" Shao Xinzhong couldn't wait any longer and went straight to Ye Luo.

In fact, this project was originally called "Ye's Datang Writing Project", and the original idea of ​​the Wen Zhen Group was to help Ye Luo complete the "Ye Tang Series" as soon as possible.The reason why it became the "Yip Literary Writing Project" when it was officially announced was entirely due to the efforts of Shao Xinzhong, the chairman of the New Literature Association.

Although only two words have changed, the coverage of the entire project has expanded countless times.Directly from the Ye Tang series, it became the top of all Ye Luo's literary creations.It can be said that this also directly improved Ye Luo's status and influence in the entire literary history.

Of course, Shao Xinzhong must be looking at Ye Luo's modern literary works.

This time, facing Shao Xinzhong's request, Ye Luo did not refuse.

After he returned home, he began to compile a list of writers in the Republic of China series.

Shen Congwen.

Lao She.

Lin Yutang.

Xu Zhimo.

Yu Dafu.

Zhang Ailing.

and many more.

There is a saying that the Republic of China was definitely an era where masters gathered together.

There are really a lot of great writers who can be counted.

However, there are not many people who can really make Ye Luo willing to publish a book directly.

Although Xu Zhimo, Zhang Ailing and others also had outstanding literary talents and were famous writers during the Republic of China, Ye Luo did not want to write a separate biography for them.

What Ye Luo wants is a writer like Mr. Lu Xun who truly has the character of modern Chinese literature.

A writer who could demonstrate the mission and significance of literati in that special era!

Ye Luo thought about it and finally decided on Mr. Lao She and Mr. Yu Dafu.

Of course, people like Mr. Qian Zhongshu could also write, but Ye Luo did not take them all out at once.

After all, the creation of works in the Republic of China series required a huge amount of work, which is simply incomparable to the Ye Tang series.

"The Biography of the Immortals of the Tang Dynasty" has the largest number of words in the entire Ye Tang series, but compared with "The Biography of Mr. Lu Xun", it is still not enough.

After all, Mr. Lu Xun’s works contain millions of words!
Therefore, Ye Luo didn't give them much character material.

"The Biography of Mr. Lao She".

"The Biography of Mr. Yu Dafu".

After seeing the detailed outlines and various materials of these two books, Shao Xinzhong seemed extremely excited.

"Teacher Ye, don't worry, we in the modern literary world will make sure these two books are flawless for you!" Shao Xinzhong, without any airs of association chairman, directly patted his chest with Ye Luo and promised.

This is not to blame for him being too excited. The main reason is that they have been looking forward to the follow-up of the "Republic of China Series" for too long!
Watching the Classical Literature Association prospering, it's strange that they are not in a hurry.

"Even though it's just two books, the workload here is quite large."

Ye Luo asked, "I suggest that after you set up a special working group, you should further subdivide it below to select those who are suitable to write the main books and those who are suitable to write the works written by the protagonists in the book. These two books It’s different from Ye Tang’s. The works mentioned in the book are equally complex and large, so don’t be careless.”

"Teacher Ye, don't worry about this. I have read "The Biography of Mr. Lu Xun" many times and know what effect you want."

With that said, Shao Xinzhong read the outline given by Ye Luo in person.

The focus was mainly on the works of Lao She and Yu Dafu. "Lao She wrote "Four Generations Under One Roof", "Camel Xiangzi", "Teahouse"... Yu Dafu wrote "The Fall", "Autumn in the Old Capital"... and Okay, okay, compared to Mr. Lu Xun, this is small."

Shao Xinzhong smiled, his face full of confidence.

Ye Luo felt a little helpless, but his face remained calm, "I hope you can write it well."

He was not afraid that they would not be able to write the two books "The Biography of Mr. Lao She", but he was worried that they would not be able to write the charm of the original works such as "Camel Xiangzi" and "Teahouse"!

"If it doesn't work, I'll write it myself." Ye Luo thought to himself. Although it was a bit troublesome, it would definitely be much easier than before.

Speaking of which, this is also caused by Ye Luo's unique creative style.

When others write a book, they just write a book.

But Ye Luo's books all have "books in the book", and these "books in the book" are the essence of this work.

But if Ye Luo simply gave up the outer layer and wrote directly about the classic works of Lu Xun and Lao She, there would definitely be no corresponding historical environment due to the creative background, and these works would definitely not be able to show off. The brilliance it deserves.

This is what Ye Luo doesn't want to see.

If this is the case, then Ye Luo would rather not write it.

……

Under Ye Luo's arrangement, the "Ye's Literary Writing Project Team" became larger and larger, and everyone and all the writing teams were also busy working.

The situation for the other three engineering groups is roughly the same.

In addition to convening a large number of history professors in related majors, the people of the "Manuscripts of Qing History Compilation Project Team" also found many descendants of the Qing court nobles at that time... because the Qing Dynasty is not too far away from the present time. Therefore, there is a lot of information that can be collected, and there are even many oral histories. The workload is also very complex and ambitious.

The "Chinese Civilization Discovery Project" is also a historical cultural project. The people selected by their project team are also experts in history. But unlike the "History of the Qing Dynasty", they have a large number of archaeologists.This group of people has almost never been in the office. They are either digging graves or on the way to dig graves.The current progress is quite smooth.

Among these four major projects, the one that is not going well is probably the "Five One Project".

Originally, the "Five One Project" set by the Wen Zhen Group included five aspects: a good drama, a good TV series, a good film, and a good book (limited to social sciences) , a good theoretical article (limited to social sciences).

But after the seminar, a good song and a good radio drama were added to the officially released version.

Although the content has been expanded to seven aspects, the name of the project is still called "Five One Project".

The creation of these seven aspects is also allocated to different units.

Some units are progressing smoothly, but others are directly in trouble.

For example, the China TV drama channel is responsible for creating "a good TV drama".
