Chapter 44 [Undercurrent in the literary circle]

Beijing.

The capital has undoubtedly always been the most active place in the literary circle. In addition to well-known magazines such as "People's Literature" and "Yanjing Literature", there are also many well-known authors, literary units such as the Institute of Literature, and official writers. association……

News in literary circles also spreads very quickly.

I don’t know when, there began to be a rumor in the literary circle of Beijing that Lin Youcheng, the author of the novel "The Love of the Hawthorn Tree", had written a new novel that attracted the attention of both Beijing's "People's Literature" and Jincheng's "Novel Monthly" A magazine company grabbed it.

The most important thing is that Zhang Wei, the editor of "People's Literature", regretted not getting the manuscript.

It is said that the novel is brilliant and shocking, and it is said to be a true pioneering work.

Zhang Wei is still feeling depressed because he missed that novel.

For a time, rumors about this novel gradually began to spread in the literary circle, and some people even asked Zhang Wei.

"Zhang Wei, I heard that you really competed with the editor of "Novel Monthly" for that new manuscript written by Lin Youcheng?"

"It's also said to be a truly pioneering work. Is it that great?"

When Zhang Wei heard this, he said with some distress: "I regret now that I failed to persuade Lin Youcheng to get the manuscript in Decheng."

"Just wait, you will definitely be scared after reading that novel."

After hearing Zhang Wei's words, the person who asked the question was naturally very curious about whether it would be so exciting?
  "Are you scared? Don't deliberately lie to me."

"Now those people are waiting to see what happens to this manuscript that you didn't get."

"To be honest, Lin Youcheng's "Love at the Hawthorn Tree" is touching, but not literary enough. I wonder what this new story will be like?"

Literary people look down on each other, and few people think that their writing is not as good as others. Now when I hear Zhang Wei say that it is a truly pioneering work, I will be frightened, not knowing whether it is true or false, and I will feel a little unconvinced.

Zhang Wei looked at the gloomy sky outside the house, still regretting not grabbing Lin Youcheng's manuscript.

"I'm actually very sorry now. Why didn't I get that manuscript?"

"If I had known earlier, I should have gone ahead and robbed him. I shouldn't have called Dong Zhao."

Zhang Wei felt that if he hadn't called Dong Zhao, he might have been teasing Lin Youcheng for a while, and he might have gotten Lin Youcheng to nod in agreement.

I called "Novel Monthly", but instead I tipped off the news. This was really a mistake.

The person who asked the question looked at Zhang Wei with a look of pity on his face and realized that the rumor in the circle might be true. After all, Zhang Wei still remembers the novel, and couldn't help asking: "Is it true? You Don’t take it wrong, it’s a joke, you know it’s already spread in the circle.”

"If that novel is not good, you will be laughed at! Hahaha..."

……

Jincheng, "Novel Monthly" magazine. "Isn't it good that Shi Hong still chose to hang himself after that particularly sensitive period? How about asking Lin Youcheng to change it?"

"How can I change it?"

When Dong Zhao heard what his colleague said, he immediately became anxious and said, "Shi Hong chose to hang himself not only because of that particularly sensitive period, but also because he was forced to terminate his studies because he went to the countryside. It was almost like being forcibly removed from the trajectory of his life. Broken, otherwise as a genius, he should have studied mathematics in college, but he had to face a more trivial and mediocre life. Maybe he had long lost his sense of accomplishment and existence in loneliness, so he chose Hanged himself."

"In fact, Chen Jing and his daughter did not come specifically to save him. They just moved in to greet their neighbors. They accidentally knocked on the door and stopped Shi Hong from hanging. Chen Jing would never have thought that their visit would Unintentionally saved Shi Hong. This is a twist, and if Shi Hong chose to hang himself after deleting it, then why would Shi Hong do that later? If it weren't for Chen Jing's knock on the door, which interrupted his suicide, How could he sacrifice himself!"

"At the moment when he is about to hang himself, Shi Hong's heart will be saved by the ordinary Chen Jing mother and daughter. He has lived in the darkness for too long. He is too eager for the light."

Lin Hongxia nodded after listening to Dong Zhao's words and said: "The article "The Devotion of Suspect X" written by Lin Youcheng is already perfect and must not be changed. I read that sentence with bated breath.' She said from She has never encountered such a deep love, no, she doesn’t even know that such deep love exists in this world.’ This sentence almost made me go out of my body. Such deep love cannot be without reason.”

Other editors also agreed with Lin Hongxia's words. They all read Lin Youcheng's "The Devotion of Suspect X" and were all really shocked by this trick and this deep feeling.

An editor added: "Isn't it too dark to arrange for Shi Hong to kill homeless people? The innocent homeless people who were killed were those who returned to the city without any arrangements for work. In Shi Hong's view, homeless people are insignificant, even to society. Trash, if you kill one or two, no one will notice they are missing, this is definitely worthy of criticism."

Dong Zhao also knows that this plot is a bit sensitive, but this plot is the truly amazing part of this story.

"This is Shi Hong's design, and those people who returned to the city without a job became blind drifters. In fact, this is also a fact. Regardless of whether those people became homeless or not, Shi Hong killed them as homeless people."

Dong Zhao said with a serious face: "And didn't Shi Hong get the biggest punishment in the end? Chen Jing surrendered, and Shi Hong collapsed. The last sentence, 'He wants to vomit out his soul,' was simple and direct, and there was no need to cover up the darkness and sadness. "

With that said, Dong Zhao looked at the editor-in-chief Ma Jinghai and asked: "Editor-in-chief, what do you say?"

Editor-in-chief Ma Jinghai, as the editor-in-chief of "Novel Monthly", will naturally think more deeply, but at this moment, he just said one sentence——

"I think People's Literature will definitely not hesitate."

As soon as these words came out, the editor who was worried about being too sensitive was instantly speechless.

Indeed, it is obvious that "People's Literature" will not hesitate or change.

"Send it, get the latest issue!"

As these words came to light, the wind turned fiercer as November turned into autumn, and the fallen leaves were swept wildly. The dark sky was very low, and it seemed that heavy rain was coming.

Listening to the whistling wind, Lin Hongxia looked outside the door, looked at the dark sky, and said, "The weather is going to change."

Dong Zhao nodded and said, "Yes, things are going to change."

The wind outside the door blew harder.

This is really going to change.
