I copied my daughter in the parallel world

Chapter 399. 274. Persuasion from the Seniors

Although the two have always used correspondence to communicate, when discussing literature, they will also talk about their own background and family matters.

Before that, Gu Cheng specially put his daughter's photo in the envelope and mailed it together, planning to share his joy with his senior pen pal who had never met before.

So when they met, Yan Songbai and Gu Cheng became very close. After talking for a while, the original estrangement in their identities disappeared, and they became like a pair of year-end friends.

Gu Cheng had revealed his age before, so in Yan Songbai's impression, this junior should be a handsome young man with extraordinary appearance, and at the same time he is full of scholarly atmosphere, antique, which makes people very fond of him at the first sight.

After meeting Yan Songbai, he realized that he had underestimated the image of the other party in his mind before, but after meeting the real person, he was far more outstanding than he imagined, not only in appearance, but also in the temperament contained in his body. Don't give in too much.

After seeing Gu Cheng, there was only one sentence in his mind, that is, Moshang is like jade, and his son is unparalleled in the world.There is no better person to describe than this sentence.

Human beings are visual animals, and this habit has been passed down since ancient times. People with good looks will always be treated preferentially by everyone. Even simple conversations, a good-looking face can bring a very pleasant talking experience to the other party.

In ancient times, a scholar meant that through his own efforts, he passed various examinations step by step, and finally succeeded in being awarded an official by the imperial court, but these things also had a prerequisite, that is, the other party's appearance must be outstanding.

If someone traveled to ancient times, he might as well go to the court hall to have a look. As long as the high-ranking officials in the court hall were talking about the state, almost all of them were outstanding in appearance.

The standard of appearance is also a major factor in judging the appointment of officials. There are many talented people in history. Because of their shortcomings in appearance, their official careers are very unstable.

So after seeing Gu Cheng's appearance, Yan Songbai was even happier. He took Gu Cheng's arm affectionately and introduced him to all the friends in the room.

"This is Liu Songnian, a professor of the Department of Literature at Yacheng University, and also the chairman of our Writers Association. This is Wang Laoxie. He has no job and no achievements. He is just a big bastard in the literary world."

Introducing each other's identities one by one from the outside to the inside, it is obvious that Yan Songbai is helping Gu Cheng expand his network of contacts in the literati circle.

However, during the introduction process, Gu Cheng also had some observations of his own. The outsiders might just be some mediocre people. It's enough to nod when we meet in the future.

As one of the famous writers in Huaguo, Yan Songbai also has his own pride, and has his own criteria for judging literature, so not everyone can be seen by him.

However, the last two introduced, Mr. Liu and Mr. Wang, must be very popular with him. Mr. Liu is relatively easy to introduce, and Mr. Wang is designated as an old friend with a good relationship.

Otherwise, it would be impossible to not even mention the name, but to introduce the nickname of the other party. Although the process is relatively ignorant, he has done some homework on the circle he will be mixed with in the future. He only recognized it after a simple observation. Knowing the identity of this Wang Laoxie, the other party is one of the few remaining great poets in the Chinese literary world.

The poems I write are famous for their rural sentimentality. It can be said that as long as they are educational textbooks from elementary school to university, there is no book that does not use the other party's poems to learn.

His status and style of writing are more similar to the poet Wen Yiduo in his previous life, and Gu Cheng has also briefly read through the poetry collections published by the other party. It has to be said that talented people will always stand out.These verses, which he had never heard before, also brought him a lot of feelings and experiences.

"Hello, Mr. Wang, I'm Gu Cheng, and I have your old collection of poems at home."

Just a simple sentence can make Wang Laoxie look at Gu Cheng with admiration, without too much pursuit and praise, but it is already a kind of recognition between literati to collect each other's works.

This is more useful than the endless flattery of the juniors brought by other professors.

"I've read your prose and it's great, you should continue to develop in this genre."

Because Wang Laoxie was more pleasing to the eye, he was reluctant to open his mouth to give some advice. Hearing his words, Gu Cheng couldn't help but smile bitterly. I believe that today's test will definitely not be passed, but he is already mentally prepared , no matter what the other party taught him, he would let it go and make an expression of humbly accepting it, but as for how to deal with it later, he also had a good plan for his career.

"Isn't that what you said? I've been persuading him for a long time. Sigh, you are still young, and you haven't understood what real literature is. You went astray for a while, and it's true to wake up early."

Yan Songbai also spoke with some regret. Although Gu Cheng always made an expression of listening, he still saw through the indifference in the other party's eyes with a lot of experience. He originally wanted to stop the conversation, but every time Thinking of the beautiful prose published in the literary newspaper, he couldn't help but want to continue to persuade him. He felt that he had made his own efforts for the development of Huaguo literature if he could persuade this lost horse to return to the right path.

Seeing that Gu Cheng is very popular among these old seniors, Fish Fin and Zhang Li on one side are also relieved.The task of coming here this time is more than half completed. Although the two of them are very well-known in the editorial community, they are also regarded as big figures by many editors who have just joined the job.

But in this community of writers, consciously or unconsciously, both are ignored.Although editors and writers are always closely related, in the eyes of most literati, editors are a group of people lying on the writers and sucking blood.

They may not yell and beat everyone, but expecting to treat you well is like dreaming.

Gu Cheng had a brief exchange with the old seniors, although most of the time he was quietly listening to them share some interesting things that happened in the literary circle, as well as their career development and insights.

But when he opened his mouth a little bit, he pointed directly at the point of view, and it hit the nail on the head. This made him think that he was just an appearance, or the other seniors' impression of him also changed somewhat.

As for the young juniors brought by the other seniors, they all stood quietly behind everyone like quails, unable to get a word in. Everyone was surrounded by the old seniors. Gu Cheng, who kept on expressing his views, cast envious eyes.
