Literary Master 1978

On the way home, Tao Yushu asked Lin Chaoyang: "What were you doing upstairs?"

"Nothing done!"

"Yu Mo told me everything."

Tao Yumo only said that she saw the love letter written by Du Feng. Tao Yushu thought of Du Feng's call to Lin Chaoyang upstairs and made a reasonable guess in her mind.

"His love letter is too dull, let me polish it up for him."

Tao Yushu just asked a tentative question, but he didn't expect that it was actually written by Lin Chaoyang.

"Then how did you write it?" she asked again, with a sour taste behind her voice.

"Hey! It's just writing indiscriminately, but you also know that I can't hide my talent. I can calm my brother-in-law just by writing casually."

Lin Chaoyang noticed Tao Yushu's jealousy and tried to fool him with a joke.

"Hmph!" Tao Yushu snorted, "You haven't even written a love letter to me."

"Then I'll write you a letter, and I'll write it now."

Lin Chaoyang just wanted to write a "seven-step poem", but Tao Yushu interrupted him, "Okay, I'm kidding you. If you have the energy to write a love letter, you might as well come up with the next work."

Lin Chaoyang suddenly looked bitter, "Daughter-in-law, it's just the Chinese New Year, and the Lantern Festival hasn't passed yet."

"What does your writing have to do with the Chinese New Year? It's hard to have a holiday these days, don't you have any ideas?"

Tao Yushu blinked at Lin Chaoyang with his big eyes and used his charm skill.

Everyone said that he had become Professor Tao's son-in-law, but they didn't know that he had a roll-rolling wife behind him.

Lin Chaoyang sighed helplessly, "Probably."

The fifteenth day of the first lunar month passed in a flash. During these days, Tao Yushu would urge Lin Chaoyang to start writing new works from time to time, and the answer Lin Chaoyang gave was usually "still in the process of being brewed."

He had already confessed to his wife about writing a novel, and no longer had to worry about exposure, but what followed was his wife's high standards and strict requirements.

She was used to being entangled and demanding things from him. Lin Chaoyang could even imagine the dire straits they would face if their child was born in the future.

Today, Tao Yushu just submitted the review article of "Wrangler" that she had revised countless times to "Yanjing Literature and Art". If "Literary and Art Newspaper" cannot do it, then she will publish it in another publication. Anyway, it will be published. She does not admit death.

After returning, Tao Yushu and Lin Chaoyang chatted about the new work.

Lin Chaoyang wants to be a salty fish, but he is not salty enough to regard money as dirt. He also wants to live in a spacious house, where he can take hot baths at any time, have a spacious and bright living room, and have his own study room. …

However, everyone who has worked knows that if your boss arranges a job for you and you complete it in one day, then he will hold you to this standard for the next work, which will only be higher, not lower.

With Tao Yushu's character as a novelist, if Lin Chaoyang really finished writing the novel in a week, he might not be able to live peacefully in the future.

"Well, I have some ideas. I'll start writing them tonight."

But it’s not enough to keep putting it off, you still have to write when you need to.

As a writer, inspiration is just like a woman's emotions. They are unpredictable. They come and go at will and are beyond their control.

Therefore, there is nothing wrong with writing slower.

Since learning that Lin Chaoyang also writes, Tao Yushu's desk at home has changed from being used exclusively by Tao Yushu to the couple sitting face to face and sharing the desk.

While working as a foreigner, Lin Chaoyang caught sight of Tao Yushu reading a book. A smile appeared on his face unconsciously and asked, "What are you looking at? Are you so happy?"

"You write first, and I'll show it to you when you're done."

Lin Chaoyang threw away the pen and said, "I've finished writing. Let me take a look."

Tao Yushu glanced at him angrily, then handed him the magazine in his hand, "Gansu Literature and Art published a review article on "The Wrangler"."

Hearing this, Lin Chaoyang took the magazine and didn't care much.

In the blink of an eye, "Wrangler" has been published for more than three months. From the earliest review article by Hu Depei to Yan Gang and Ding Ling, the comments on "Wrangler" have become bigger and heavier than the last. He has become numb. .

And he is also clearly aware that the current enthusiasm for "The Wrangler" in the literary and art circles has surpassed the novel itself. This wave of "The Wrangler" has completely ridden on the east wind of "scar literature".

After "Teacher" and "Scar" started this literary trend and were generally accepted by the public, the emergence of "Wrangler" perfectly received the attention and love of the people.

Compared with "Teacher" and "Scar", "Wrangler" is undoubtedly more acceptable to most readers.

Because in its essence, the core of the story is actually a very Jack Su story.

Xu Lingjun, who is he?

The son of a wealthy businessman, he is tall, handsome, and elegant. Although he was abandoned and sent to a labor camp, he always has good people around him. Some people are rushing to give him a wife, and some people arrange for him to be a teacher in an elementary school. After many years, even the one who abandoned him originally The wealthy businessman's father also came to recognize him.

Thirty years later, only online novels would dare to write like this.

The popularity of the story itself, coupled with the lofty intentions, destined "Wrangler" to go further than its two predecessors.

Lin Chaoyang casually scanned the review articles in "Gansu Literature and Art", and Tao Yushu, who was happy just now, suddenly became melancholy again.

"You said, your first novel caused such a big response, what will you do with the next novel?

Let’s not talk about Lu Xinhua of Scars. His novel is indeed as you said, heroes are made by the times.

Liu Xinwu’s level is not low, but I have read the novels he published in October, Yanjing Literature and Art, and China Youth Daily in the past six months. The level is not bad, but it is far from the influence of Class Teacher. ”

Tao Yushu was worried about Lin Chaoyang, but his mentality was very stable. Instead, he advised:

“You should think about this issue in this way. The popularity of scar literature itself echoes the call of the masses. In my opinion, it is not normal for any literary genre to receive such great attention and popularity in a short period of time.

It is easy for people to lose their rational judgment if they limit their attention to the same type of works, or the creative output in a short period of time.

We might as well look further ahead, five years, ten years, twenty years... Maybe by then, these works can still occupy their own place in the history of Chinese literature, but how can so many people pay attention to us.

If there are good works, then there will be some voice. Without good works, they will be forgotten by the crowd.

Things in this world have always been like this.

Although literary creation ultimately relies on works to speak, it is not entirely dependent on works. The factors of the times and social environment will have an impact. People like Kafka and Stendhal, are their works not good?

Human power is limited, and now is just the starting stage, why bother yourself? "

During the conversation, Lin Chaoyang had a calm and unmoved aura on his face, and Tao Yushu was unconsciously immersed in it.
