A widower's entertainment

Chapter 70 [Regret]

Jincheng, "Novel Monthly" magazine.

Obviously, Lin Youcheng's latest novel "Love Letter" was published in "People's Literature" magazine, and the editors of "Novel Monthly" already knew about this.

Even editor-in-chief Ma Jinghai was helpless about this result.

There is no way, who told it to be "People's Literature".

"Novel Monthly" really cannot be compared with "People's Literature".

Dong Zhao was not surprised. To be honest, Lin Youcheng's last novel "The Devotion of Suspect X" was enough to be published in the magazine "People's Literature", but it was only because Lin Youcheng agreed to him that they snatched it up. Go to Lin Youcheng's article "The Devotion of Suspect X".

What surprises Dong Zhao most, or the entire "Novel Monthly" editorial department, is that Lin Youcheng's latest novel is actually about love, and the name of the novel is "Love Letter".

This was really beyond the expectations of Dong Zhao and others.

The key point is that Lin Youcheng's novel "Love Letter" is really amazing.

That's right, it's just one word - absolutely.

Even if Dong Zhao didn't know that the movie "Love Letter" is called the ultimate pure love movie and the bible of youth movies, in Dong Zhao's opinion at this moment, Lin Youcheng is so good at writing love, and it seems that he really wants to give love to him. Write absolutely.

Dong Zhao looked at the "Love Letter" in his hand and still felt that his heart was filled with unspeakable emotions. He could only sigh: "This "Love Letter" written by Lin Youcheng is so beautifully written, plain but even more touching."

Hearing Dong Zhao's words, Lin Hongxia nodded repeatedly and said, "Yeah, it's an indescribable feeling. It's obviously a very simple story about the misunderstanding caused by two people with the same name, but Lin Youcheng told a secret love that has been hidden for many years. , it’s really wonderful to talk about it.”

Lin Hongxia was really moved by Lin Youcheng's "Love Letter". She didn't expect that Lin Youcheng would write such a story. It was really amazing.

This kind of unexpectedness may be like when Lin Hui sent the first letter. She didn't expect that this letter, which was supposed to have no follow-up, was received by Yang Shu, a girl with the same name.

Without Lin Hui's deep affection and persistence, this period of young Yang Shu's life would have been lost in time.

In Lin Hongxia's view, Lin Hui was like an archaeologist who endured the elements, the summer heat and the cold winter, and kept digging and digging. Even if there were only a few traces, she wanted to piece together the complete history of her lover.

In her constant recollections, the female Yang Shu gradually discovered that the Yang Shu who had the same name and surname as her in her youth had hidden tenderness towards her.

It is such a simple story that really made the editor Lin Hongxia amazed and amazed.

She didn't know how Lin Youcheng came up with such a seemingly simple, yet wonderful and unique story.

A letter brought unexpected misunderstandings and caused ripples in the hearts of countless people.

Completely different from the thrilling "The Devotion of Suspect X", this time there is an undercurrent, but it is still touching.

"Lin Youcheng's writing style is so delicate and real. Although it is concise but detailed, it depicts the ups and downs and struggles of the characters' hearts. The different language narration techniques are quite unique. In addition to straightforward presentation, it also points out that the moment that happened lies in the past, telling the story Reader this is a memory.”

As editors, they are naturally very concerned about the writing techniques and storyline of novels. Every editor of the magazine had a very lively discussion, and they all expressed their appreciation for Lin Youcheng's novel. "Yes, yes, and the past tense is expressed through the dialogue between the characters, and then the story is placed in the letters between Lin Hui and the female Yang Shu, allowing the readers to compose their own pictures and project their own experiences or youthful fantasies into it as much as possible. "

"Yes, Lin Youcheng's writing has a unique way of narrating. The writing directly expresses the complex inner feelings of the characters, like the hesitation, doubt and relief of the female Yang Shu when she received Lin Hui's letter. It narrates the characters' inner voices and guides them to Understand the theme and take on the role as the character’s voice unfolds.”

Dong Zhao couldn't help but said: "The most important thing is, have you noticed that Lin Youcheng did not mention that special period in this story. Although it is sad, it is not scar literature."

Editor-in-chief Ma Jinghai couldn't help but nodded when he heard Dong Zhao's words and said: "Yes, this novel has no trace of scar literature. Scar literature no longer looks like Lu Xun's Sister Xiang Lin."

"Lin Youcheng wrote this novel very well. It shows the youth complex of memories and the detachment of death. It is fresh and natural, sad but not sad."

When Lin Hongxia heard what the editor-in-chief Ma Jinghai said, she hurriedly said: "How do you call it sad but not sad? I feel very sad."

"Originally, the story "Love Letter" made me sad, and my heart has always been sour and uncomfortable. If the young Yang Shu had been brave, would the ending have been different? If he could have persisted at that time, would the memories have been extraordinary? In the end, the young Yang Shu still did not "It's a pity that the other Yang Shu still ignored me. I feel the same way for some reason. Lin Youcheng is really good at writing."

"Now that I see that Lin Youcheng's novel has not been published in Novel Monthly, I am even more sad."

"There's nothing we can do about it. Magazines like People's Literature attract more people's attention."

Editor-in-chief Ma Jinghai couldn't help but sigh when he heard Lin Hongxia's words. He himself was very sorry, but he also said: "Although Lin Youcheng did not choose "Novel Monthly" for his latest novel, we still have to communicate with Lin Youcheng. , to see if the previous two novels "The Love of the Hawthorn Tree" and "The Devotion of Suspect X" can be published by Baihua Publishing House as stand-alone books."

In fact, publishing a single volume means that Lin Youcheng's two novels can be published separately.

Obviously, there is no problem at all in publishing stand-alone versions of "The Love of the Hawthorn Tree" and "The Devotion of Suspect X". Even before this, there were many letters from readers, hoping to see Lin Youcheng's novels published in stand-alone versions.

Lin Hongxia nodded and said, "Indeed, Lin Youcheng's two previous novels should have been published separately long ago."

After saying that, Lin Hongxia saw that Dong Zhao had not spoken. She looked at Dong Zhao and asked, "Lao Zhao, are you still sad that Lin Youcheng did not contribute to the "Novel Monthly"?"

Dong Zhao was stunned. He couldn't say he was sad, but he definitely felt lost and regretful.

Lin Youcheng will definitely leave eventually, and the past period will never come back.

Yes, it's a pity.

This feeling is too complicated and empty, just like the regretful loss of the past youth in "Love Letter".

Yes, Lin Youcheng may never come back to "Novel Monthly" again.

Thinking of this, Dong Zhao felt even more regretful.
