Reborn Cultural Empire

Pu Yuan looked at Wu Junji, then at Yang Yi, and took a sip from the small teacup.This senior in the Yuezhou cultural circle did not express his opinion clearly, but turned to a few people around him: "What do you think, should we wait for Xiao Yang to bring over the manuscript next time and let us taste it carefully, or let Xiao Wu give it to us first?" For a paragraph, listen to the article that can be affirmed by Ji Lao, what is the subtlety?"

Yang Yixin wondered what this is called, everyone, you are too self-assessed!

Everyone in the circle was silent, except that Tie Shi, who seemed to like to sing with Wu Junji very much, waved his hands after hearing this: "Since I didn't bring it here, then next time! Some things just listen to them with your ears." What's the use? It always feels wrong to read it out, and I can't get used to Old Wu's tuneful voice, it's better for him to open his mouth less."

Wu Junji was still as good-tempered as ever, he smiled at Tie Shi and did not refute.Comparing the two, the latter seemed to be at a disadvantage in terms of bearing, but what surprised Yang Yi was that the people present were obviously not in the same group. At most, they were all living in the circle of the Writers Association. But no one expressed disgust at Tie Shi's aggressiveness.Is this phenomenon just caused by pure literati personality, and everyone has one thing more than one thing less?

Another unidentified old iron did not speak, and Ning Yuan seemed to not want Yang Yi to be too embarrassed, so he took the initiative to nod to Wu Jun: "Then Teacher Wu will come for a while, and you have been talking about it for so long, saying that this novel is really good. It's really good, if I don't see the true face of Mount Lu today, I really won't be reconciled to it. I'm afraid that even if I go home, I probably won't be able to sleep well."

Then he nodded to Yang again and gave him an encouraging smile.

This man really lives up to his name, and so does his name.According to common sense, even if you can't be called everyone here, you have spent a long time on grid paper. Who hasn't published their articles in typeface?Who doesn't have a little self-promise in his heart?This kind of gathering in the circle can make them accept you sincerely, so you must show your real talents and learn.

Although the name of Old Disciple Ji is bluffing, at most it is attracting attention, and it is far from being convinced.

So everyone else was perfunctory, but Ning Yuan didn't care about Yang Yi's age, but took the initiative to stand up and help him out.

Wouldn't it be embarrassing if none of the people here expressed interest in Yang Yi's novels—even if Yang Yi himself didn't care about such a situation.

Wu Junji was a little embarrassed when he saw no one to talk to before, but now that Ning Yuan spoke like this, it was as if someone handed him a pillow when he wanted to fall asleep, and his gratitude to him in his heart was beyond measure.

Of course, Ning Yuan didn't know that even if he didn't come out to help people step up, the latter would still read the article with a calm face.Wu Junji naturally had a plan for doing this, but he didn't expect Ning Yuan to give face like this.

"Well, since Mr. Wu has spoken, why don't we have a paragraph." Wu Junji seemed very happy that there was someone who "appreciated" Yang Yi's works as much as he did, so he cleared his throat in high spirits: "Then I I'll give you a little bit..."

Yang Yi sensed something again. After listening to Ning Yuan's approval, this person's eyes still showed a hint of satisfaction that the event was over.This seemingly inexplicable look made the reborn man feel something in his heart, as if some target that had been lingering around him but could not grasp it accurately was slowly thinking that he was approaching.

Do you need to stop Wu Jun from posting?If Yang Yi now stands up and expresses his unwillingness to have his work publicly discussed as an author, these people would not be in the mood to persist.But he was a little hesitant. If this person really had a plan, then if this time fails, there will be a next time, and if the next time fails, there will be a next time. How can there be any reason to guard against thieves for a thousand days?

And judging from Yang's comprehensive impression of Wu Junzhi, he doesn't quite believe that this person is really planning something.Wu's behavior at the moment is certainly a bit weird, but it may not be an expression of his extreme liking for the novel.The teenager is not confident in his own writing and adaptation level, but believes in the vision of the Goncourt judges and the unanimous choice of the readers.

When Wu Junji first read a passage from Yang Yi's novel, although Ning Yuan was the only one at the tea table who showed a long-awaited look, the others were only superficially reserved, but in fact they all pricked up their ears.

But after listening to about four or five hundred words, they all showed doubts by coincidence.

And... skepticism and disapproval.

It's not because the article is too good, but the passages that Wu Junji has selected are really too subtle.

From the beginning to the end of the full text, there are many wonderful descriptions and places that arouse people's sympathy and thought-provoking, but Wu Junzhi chooses this or that, but chooses the most boring passage in Yang Yi's opinion.

Absolutely no words that are dispensable, but Yang Yi deleted all such words, or the original author and the translator did not allow such dispensable words to appear in this book at all. in the novel.What Yang Yi thought was boring came from a relatively plain transitional text that he couldn't let go of.

What level is this?Those are the impressive passages you speak of?

Up until now, Yang Yi didn't think that Wu Junji was really harboring evil intentions.If he was at Ji Tangdan's place on the weekend, if the old man explained a few more words, the current Yang Yi would definitely be vigilant, instead of just being puzzled all the time.

But in the eyes of others, the so-called "wonderful and excellent writing" that Wu Junji boasted as rare and unparalleled in the world is actually nothing more than mediocre.If it weren't for Ji Lao's name here, I'm afraid it would be at the level of an ordinary author.Of course, taking into account Yang Yi's age, it can barely be considered extraordinary, but it is undoubtedly still a thousand miles away from their expectations.

Considering that Wu Junji's usual personality is also criticized by some in the circle of the Writers Association as "happy to engage in camping" and "good for empty talk", the faces of the table showed some enlightenment.

Most likely, it was because this guy knew that Yang Yi was an old disciple of Ji, so he naturally spoke exaggeratedly, trying to please the old man on his own initiative.As for lying or deceiving everyone, such things that can be exposed casually, he doesn't have the guts yet.

Headed by Pu Yuan, the tea table is solid, and the other veteran, Ning Yuan, looked at each other and did not comment on the article.Presumably it was the expected value in advance, and the contrast with the actual situation at the moment was too huge, so it was hard to say anything.In fact, if any child wrote this kind of article, it would be enough to gain praise.

But the problem now is that when Wu Junji introduced and promoted this novel, he praised it from the beginning.Later, everyone was bluffed by the name of the old disciple Ji. Out of trust in the old man's vision, the curiosity and expectation in their hearts became more and more uncontrollable, and they naturally had preconceived views.

This novel must be an article that makes people want to stop reading it, and it must be an article that can grip people's hearts in the first place.

But what are these things I'm listening to now?

Several people remained silent, originally commenting on the works of younger generations was a common occurrence in the circle.Seven or eight years ago, I don’t know how many literary youths would take their manuscripts to the compound of the Writers Association like a pilgrimage every day, and if they caught one, they would call them teachers.All the people present here have also been "captured young men" and worshiped as bodhisattvas.

But the little guy in front of him has a special status, he is Ji Lao's disciple.Although several people had doubts about why Ji Lao accepted such a young apprentice, Wu Junji would definitely not lie about this matter.

People engaged in literature in Yuezhou, who dare to bluff and deceive under the name of Mr. Ji Tangdan, probably haven't been born yet.

At this time, it was the "old iron" who interrupted Wu Junji again: "Old Wu, come to something more exciting, you have been talking to us for a week about how good this novel is, but I think this... "

He didn't say the rest, but glanced at Yang meaningfully once or twice.

Wu Junji seemed to have just noticed everyone's expressions. The following chapters had already reached his throat, but he was swallowed alive.On the one hand, he was very puzzled and said: "Huh? Do you think this article is not good? No, when I saw this novel for the first time, I thought it was amazing... Uh, so, I Let’s have another exciting one.”

Then, ignoring other people's expressions, he began to read the selected articles by himself. It looked like he was intoxicated in the world of novels.

Yang Yi is a little dumbfounded now, is this guy a high-end hacker?Otherwise, it must be a brainless fan!It seems that this novel is highly respected, but listen to what jokes are selected here?

However, he is not ready to stand up now and show the words in this novel that really make people feel overwhelmed.It is not because of his status as an author that he should be respectful and humble in front of his predecessors.

Rules and regulations do not have much binding force on Yang Yi.

Although he won't become Jiang Nan's deep rebellion, he doesn't bother to abide by certain rules and regulations that are only conventional and have no positive meaning.

The only reason that prompted him to do this was that Yang felt an urge to watch and laugh without saying anything to Wu Junji's actions.

On the surface, he admired this very much, but these little tricks he played now deeply exposed his deliberately hidden thoughts.

Pu Yuan's complexion has gradually become uneasy, but after all, he has a good self-cultivation, so he patiently waited until Wu Junji finished reading this excerpt, and then tapped on the table: "Student Xiao Yang can be regarded as the best among his peers with this level of writing skills. the one."

People engaged in literary work, when they speak, they either speak with a little innocence and straightforwardness, without any detours; or there is a deep meaning in a common sentence.

Pu Yuan is undoubtedly the latter. You must know that among the disciples taught by Ji Tangdan, which one is not an outstanding person?Those who were older in the early years were as good as jade under the plain coat, and now they are all leaders of the Writers Association, the Federation of Literary and Art Circles, and some colleges and universities.The next few batches of students were able to worship under him, although human kindness is indispensable, but they are also of high quality.

Now this seemingly young man has such a sophisticated writing style, which looks very extraordinary!But compared with the students of Ji Tangdan that Pu Yuan had come into contact with, they were still inferior.

Compared with his peers, he is outstanding, but it doesn't mean that he agrees with Wu Junji's previous introduction-Yang Yi is a young writing genius.

Ning Yuan, who was sitting next to Yang Yi, whispered to Yang Yi quite earnestly: "Xiao Yang, your article is definitely the number one among your peers, even if it is compared among so many people in our Writers Association, it is also very good. But what Teacher Wu said at the beginning was so good..."

After all, he is a generous person who has never said that others are wrong. Ning Yuan is now thinking about what to say, so as not to hurt the little guy's self-esteem, but also to make him listen to his own comfort.

Yang Yi is holding back abruptly at this moment, he really wants to roll his eyes.

The first time I brought it to Ji Tangdan's house, and asked Wu Jun to read more than 3 characters, under the microscope, I could only find two transitional parts.

That is to say, these two parts, the connection, although it lacks a bit of power to touch people's hearts, is the turning point of the connection.

Wu Junji didn't choose the ones in the front and the ones in the back, but he happened to find these two pieces, which was obviously deliberate.

Let’s just ask, even if it’s The Story of the Stone, it’s a work that’s recognized worldwide, and the author would surely win the Nobel Prize in Literature if he was still alive, but it’s unavoidable that there are troughs in the writing.

In traditional writing, the so-called text seems to look like a mountain but not flat, which is almost nine-point truth.This Wu Junzhi chose a desolate mountain ridge, Yang Yi had nothing to say.

But it was also because of this that the reborn man somewhat understood why Ji Tangdan had such an attitude towards this person.

It's definitely not because he hates his ignorance of good or bad articles. With the old man's temperament, he doesn't care if others can't see the beauty of his articles.It can be seen that Ji Lao hates this person, and there are other reasons.

But Ning Yuan had good intentions, and Yang Yiyi also liked this person quite a lot. When he heard him explaining himself, he nodded obediently and said nothing.

Tie Shi on the other side was completely silent. This person had been targeting Wu Junji from the beginning to the end, and he was too lazy to express his opinion at the moment.

Yang Yi didn't understand. Depending on the situation, Wu Junji should probably be aware of this person's rejection of him, but this time the party led by him still called him through the relationship of a third party!

Is there some kind of deeper intention behind this move?

"No, no, this is less than a thousand words, and you can judge the pros and cons of a novel? Are the teachers a bit arbitrary?" Wu Junji was still in a hurry to distinguish, his face was full of injustice .

Yang Yi found this matter more and more interesting.

Of course, the quality of a novel cannot be determined by just reading more than a thousand words.

But Wu Junji has repeatedly stated that he wants to give you some exciting episodes, but the reality is not as exciting or fascinating as he said.

Well, since you think the wonderful part is nothing more than that, wouldn't the rest of it have to be chewy?

So hearing Wu Junji's distinction, everyone around the table couldn't laugh or cry, and shook their heads one after another.

Even if this is an unmistakable statement of attitude, it seems that Ji Lao's disciples are like that.
