Reborn Cultural Empire

() Hearing Zhao Changtian making fun of himself, Yang Yi couldn't help but blushed a little, and quickly changed the subject: "Then what do you think, Mr. Zhao? If you need to discuss it, I can live it now."

"I really want you to come over. Let's have a good discussion on how to make the New Concept brand bigger and stronger, so that people all over the country can recognize our competition." Zhao Changtian's voice was also high-spirited and full of career ambitions. The unique sharpness of a successful person, and it is really not easy to see this state in an old worker who is over fifty years old. Obviously, Yang Yi activated his fighting desire.

"Okay, then your time, I'll make arrangements early." Yang Yi responded with a smile, but his attitude was always very respectful when facing seniors with excellent academic integrity.

"Do you think it will work tomorrow? If not, you can do it the day after tomorrow."

"Then tomorrow, tomorrow afternoon I will visit your editorial office."

……

"You can have this. I think it's better to add another project with on-site questions to make short stories. Isn't essays short and powerful? Editor Xiao, you have to believe in the abilities of those students now. Their abilities are not only reflected in writing At the same level, it is also reflected in the insight into the world. Perhaps in our opinion, some people’s concepts are too superficial and naive, but who has not come from that era? Only by giving them enough opportunities can they be They grow up better and faster and adapt to the world."

When facing the editor-in-chief of a certain column of Germination, Yang Yi helped another editor who proposed to add a short article to argue, although the new concept composition in the previous life did not have this link.But after Yang Yi thought about it for a while, he felt that the new editor's idea was really good.However, essays can always see a person's preferences, outlook on life, world outlook and values. I believe that having these is the most direct.But what is revealed inadvertently can also provide a basis for those colleges and universities to select talents, instead of just looking at some writing on paper.

"I, Xiaoyi, although there is no logical error in your tone, why does it sound weird? It's very inappropriate." Another editor who didn't join the debate laughed, and pointed at Yang Yi's nose hard. Pointed it out: "Look, look, the momentum of the only Booker Prize winner in China is different. 'Those students', 'that era'! It's like how old you little guy is, I can't bear it No more, I must criticize your attitude of belittling your peers!"

Everyone just laughed, looked at Yang Yi winking and said nothing.

In fact, the atmosphere in the editorial department of Germination has always been relatively relaxed, especially after Zhao Changtian moved in as the editor-in-chief, and then launched the new concept composition contest with Yangyi Culture, the sales volume of the magazine has increased significantly every month. rising trend.It has been going all the way, especially after the first New Concept Composition Competition in 60 came to a successful conclusion, and several first-prize winners in the third grade were admitted by special recruits from good domestic colleges and universities.The budding fame, once again like the [-]s, has become almost unknown to everyone.

And under this premise.The atmosphere in the entire editorial department is also getting better and better, even the previous argument between Yang Yi and that editor-in-chief Xiao.As well as the editor's joke just now, they are full of harmonious and cheerful atmosphere.

"Seniors, please don't keep holding me back. I admit I was wrong, I shouldn't belittle my peers." Yang Yi smiled helplessly. It seems that it is not good to be too familiar with these editors, so that some people easily Taking my own booker award, but everyone's staring at it was controlled within the range of goodwill, so it was just to enliven the atmosphere, and it didn't embarrass Yang Yi at all.

"Okay, no, it seems that our Xiao Yang is still too shy. If you want to change me, you are still in the bud? It's a joke, no, I have already made an order. If you want to be free, you can write a free article. If you want to do it If you don’t believe me, you can’t do anything with the name of the Booker Prize!” A group of editors stopped mentioning it, but when they turned their heads, they began to joke again. There is nothing that Yang Yi can do.

After quarreling for a while, everyone's topic returned to the new concept composition itself. Yang Yi picked up the selection criteria formulated internally, and his face became serious: "I want to talk about one thing, that is, everyone discussed it. I don’t think this award standard is appropriate in some places?”

"Huh?" Everyone had different expressions, and most of them reserved their opinions. They wanted to hear what was going on with Yang Yi, and there were one or two who were a little unconvinced, because these awards were based on the rules and regulations of the previous year. , and it was newly perfected, so Yang Yiyi raised objections as soon as he came up, making these editors who should be considered willing to listen to different opinions, and it was a bit difficult to accept.

"Look, everyone, the fifth item here is the rules in the second level of development, literary talent, appropriate words, flexible boulders, and the tension and expressiveness of the sentences in line with real life, and the personality innovation and expression in the third level. The author's life perception and unique insights on the subject of writing... These original intentions are very good, but there is one problem that you have thought about, that is, from innovation to unconventionalism, this is undoubtedly an extreme phenomenon, and even Among the new concepts in the last session, there was an article that was very popular in the preliminary competition, but was finally awarded the third prize of C-level. What was it called, "Neon, Night", right? Actually, I am now To be honest, this composition was originally placed in the category B award-winning works, but in the end I put it into the category C article, because the whole article is too groaning to read, although it looks gorgeous, it is an urban student for modern Urban life, observation of lack of emotion, but what I think is that in fact, the author's observation of life is far from enough. The factors that make up our real life are far from being able to describe the world of ren with a few ingenious sentences and paragraphs. , lacking a more nuanced understanding of society..."

In fact, Yang Yi wanted to point it out directly, the author was obviously a child from a good family.You should have seen some articles in the style of Baby Annie on the Internet, and then used them in your own composition.At present, everyone is still relatively simple in terms of words.Or when there is a relatively strong student atmosphere, a work like "Some things can be forgotten. Some things can be commemorated, some things can be voluntarily, and some things can never be done." It is conceivable that although the central idea It seems too lacking or even pale, but just for the sake of these sentences, those editors and judges will give this composition a good score.

But in fact?

After similar styles became popular, they even turned into a campus disaster. Wasn't it like this in the previous life?Essays written by ten people.It's almost as if it was carved out of a mold, all of which are similar moanings, almost meaningless.And the most important thing is that people who are in their teens or even in their 20s still think that this style of writing is the supreme beauty.

Well, as Yang Yilai, who regards spreading Chinese culture as a career, this kind of situation is unintentionally very intolerable, because it will lead to the standardization of writing.Later generations can even find thousands of similar works in the literary and youth distribution center called Douban without any effort. The most frightening thing is that no one can distinguish them.Did it come from the pen of one person, two people, or three people.

After listening to Yang Yi's opinion, the two editors looked at each other.I still feel that the teenager is a little unreasonable.However, as the title sponsor and the big boss of the organizer, Yang Yi had the right to veto these rules and regulations, and Zhao Changtian and other heavyweight editors.It seemed that they were also thinking deeply about this issue, so they held back and did not speak.

"Perhaps you are a little too worried in junior year. But what is stated is also true. If we pay more attention to this kind of article, it will definitely give the participating students an impression that we like this category It’s not impossible for the style of writing to improve in the future.” After Zhao Changtian nodded, he turned around and told an editorial assistant: “Write this down, and we’ll have a good discussion later on. Do we have to include these criteria, or do we not have to write them in?"

Regarding Zhao Changtian's opinion, Yang Yi naturally agreed with both of them: "You don't need to specifically include it. After all, if you can come to participate in this competition, how can you lose your pen work?"

"That's true..." Several editors nodded at the same time.

……

After a day's discussion, the competition arrangement and award criteria were finally tentatively decided.

When Yang Yi left, Zhao Changtian also specifically told him: "Next week, don't forget that if you don't know how to get to the Wenhua College of Aurora University, you can just come and find me. We'll be together then."

For Zhao Changtian's kindness, Yang Yi was very grateful, and then rejected him, mainly because the editor-in-chief would have a lot of work and needed to take care of and receive him everywhere, and it would not be convenient to follow him by himself.So after smiling, the boy pretended to be dissatisfied and sighed: "Mr. Zhao, please don't treat me like a child."

"Okay, okay, I was wrong, you are the winner of the Booker Prize." Zhao Changtian smirked again.

"..." Yang Yi was speechless, turned around and left.

You must know that the editor-in-chief also arranged for him a task to give a speech to the students at the opening ceremony of this year's New Concept Composition Competition. To be honest, this is not an easy task.

< Best-selling author?Which one is not a domestic newcomer? It is very simple to persuade them by relying on the name of the Booker Prize winner, but if they feel that the speech at that time is not worthy of the status of the Booker Prize winner, then Undoubtedly it is a great embarrassment.

Yang Yi naturally doesn't care about false fame, but the problem now is that he still wants to convince several best-selling writers of later generations in this meeting and let them become signed authors of Yang Yi Culture, so he doesn't take How about showing some real kung fu.
