Chapter 121 The literary world needs 100 young generals Fang (Happy May Day!)
It has been three days since the publication of "Latent". During these three days, Fang Yan can clearly feel that he heard about "Latent" around him. 》The words are becoming more and more frequent.
Even the concierge, Uncle Dong, no longer listens to the radio. He wears reading glasses and holds "People's Literature" in his hand. He can't stop reading it.
At this time, Fang Yan looked at him and called on the phone:
“Hi, don’t thank me.”
"I have to thank you for this. It should be the Nortel people thanking me."
"I also want to thank you for agreeing to hand over the novel to them for making a movie."
Tell Wang Anyi Nortel's summer shooting plan, so he hung up the phone, turned around and walked upstairs. Whenever he bumped into someone, he would praise him, "The writing of "Insidious" was very good."
Go all the way and praise all the way.
Back in the office, Zhang Zhonge’s seat was still empty.
But his place was full of people. Zhang Shouren, Yan Ming and other people from other groups gathered here, each holding a copy of the latest issue of "People's Literature", and intensely discussing "Latent".
"Yanzi!"
Tian Zengxiang clapped his hands on the table: "You have written this novel so well, it is even more exciting than your "Listening to the Wind" and "Dark War"! ”
“Yes, I originally thought it was very long. For some time, there will not be a work that can surpass "Dark War", and now Yanzi's "Insidious" has raised the ideological, storytelling, and artistic quality of spy literature by a huge margin!"
Zhang Shouren clicked his tongue and said in wonder.
"In the field of espionage literature, the only one who can defeat Yanzi is probably Yanzi himself, and no one can surpass him."
Yan Ming also did not hesitate to praise him.
"Stop it, stop it, you guys are giving me such high hats, why am I so uneasy."
Fang Yan asked them to tell them honestly what their intentions were.
"Hey, Yanzi, we are close friends and close comrades. What bad thoughts can you have? Even if you have any new spy novels in your stomach, write one for "October". ”
Tian Zengxiang winked.
“Yes, one article, just one article.”
Zhang Shouren held out a finger.
Fang Yan said, "It's useless for you to rush me now. Don't forget, I have to complete the creative task of a professional writer first."
"How could I forget this? ! ”
Tian Zengxiang slapped his thigh.
"Besides, good spy novels are not that easy to write, let alone ones of the level of "Dark War" and "Latent"."
Fang Yan muttered in his heart. , although I still have many.
"Indeed, thousands of manuscripts are easy to come by, but good articles are hard to find. Spy literature not only tests the author's historical and literary qualities, but also tests his professional qualities, such as the 'basic principles of recording'."
Zhang Shouren asked curiously: "Yanzi, you have never received professional intelligence skills training, how come you are so good at writing spy stories?"
Tian Zengxiang, Yan Ming and others also have the same question.
Fang Yan said: "You are asking this question. Didn't the great man never go to a military academy? He still crossed Chishui four times, fought three major battles, and commanded millions of troops to cross the river. Compared with him, he is not worthy at all. Mention."
"The main reason is that "Latent" is written so vividly, especially Wu Jingzhong, the webmaster of Jinmen Station, seems to be alive."
Tian Zengxiang's tone is clear. A hint of uncanny.
“This is what happened.”
Fang Yan said that he had visited the old people in Gongdelin specifically, especially Shen Sui and Dong Yisan who had stayed in Juntong and Zhongtong.
“No wonder, no wonder.”
Zhang Shouren and others suddenly realized.
Fang Yan glanced at everyone, "By the way, Chen Zui is writing his own memoir, "My Thirty Years", and is interested in finding a publishing house to publish it. I wonder if our company is willing to..."
“Yes, this is great!”
Zhang Shouren nodded.
If you can't get a manuscript like "Latent", it would be good to get "My Thirty Years". After all, with the popularity of espionage literature, materials like this about military unification and central unification will definitely be There will be readers who really want to learn more about it, which can be regarded as picking up sesame seeds.
"Yanzi is indeed our lucky star. Even interviews can help our agency get a good work." Yan Ming said with a smile.
"The Secret Bureau needs 100 Yu Zecheng."
Tian Zengxiang said straightforwardly: "I think our "October" and our publishing house also need 100 dialects, right?"< br>
"Don't put a high hat on me."
Fang Yan stopped there, "Let's think about where Teacher Zhang can go to take care of him after he comes back?"
………… …
One of the most popular regions in the country for espionage literature is East China.
After all, it was "Dark War" that was first published in "Harvest", setting off the first espionage craze in the literary world.
Throughout Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai, there are a large number of readers of spy novels.
As soon as "Latent" came out, it was immediately sought after by the majority of spy literature lovers, including Mecca in Fuyang, Hangzhou.
I just took the college entrance examination in July this year. I scored 100 points in mathematics and 98 points in physics, which was a perfect score of 100.
Only he barely scored 60 points in Chinese. He was not interested in Chinese, but he only loved reading spy war literature.
Especially spy novels in dialect!
The "People's Literature" in his hand was over a hundred pages thick. He only took a sip and read the part where "Latent" was published. I read it over and over again, during the day, at night, in the bedroom, in the bathroom, and just relied on this book to pass the boring summer time.
At this moment, my father ran in in a hurry.
"Your admission notice has arrived!"
Mecca was excited. He took a look and saw that he had been admitted to the Radio Department of Jiefangjun College of Engineering and Technology.
"I passed the exam! Dad, I passed the exam!"
"What kind of school is this?"
Although the father was very happy for his son to be admitted to college, but when he saw the university And professionalism, completely black eyes.
“This is a university that can train military intelligence personnel.”
Mecca raised a satisfied smile.
It was precisely because I was fascinated by spy novels in dialects that I applied to these universities. Now, my dream has come true!
(ps: Mecca is the author of "The Conspiracy", "The Wind", etc.)
…………
In addition to East China, spy war literature is the most popular in the country One of the regions includes the three northeastern provinces.
Wang Gang's storytelling version of "Dark War" broadcast by Liaoning Radio Station has long ranked first in the listening ratings in the three northeastern provinces.
Ice City, Harbin.
Cheng Yu put down "People's Literature" and rubbed his sore eyes. His mind was filled with "Latent" and the story of Yu Zecheng.
Opening my eyes again, I glanced at the novel I compiled and wrote about the struggle on the hidden front in Northeast China, "Underground Beacon".
I became more and more determined about my future creative direction.
Spy literature cannot have only one dialect!
But to have a hundred dialects!
I want to become one of the "dialects"!
Looking at the dark night sky outside the window, I pondered for a long time, and suddenly picked up a pen and wrote next to the title of "Latent":
"Harbin under the Night".
…………
After the past few days of fermentation, the popularity of "Latent" has completely aroused.
"Literary News", "Wenhui Daily", "Literary News" and other mainstream newspapers and periodicals in the literary and art circles have published numerous reports and spared no effort to promote it.
The new round of espionage craze has subsequently affected the selection of the National Outstanding Novella Award organized by "Literary News".
A large number of letters from the public poured into the editorial office of "Literary News", all of which voted for the shortlisted "Dark War".
Feng Mu, Kong Luosun, Ding Ling, Wang Zengqi and other members of the jury all received the news.
"This "Dark War" has 20,000 to 30,000 more votes than the second-placed "Middle Age", right?" Feng Mu put his hands on his back.
Kong Luosun nodded, "It cannot be said that this is not influenced by "Latent"."
Wang Zengqi waved his hand and said: "But this cannot be characterized as 'canvassing'. Xiaofang's publication of "Latent" was completely unintentional."
"This is the case. I understand it very well."
Feng Mu smiled and said: "Originally, this article "Latent" was not published in this August issue, but in the June issue of "People's Literature", but the editorial department has already decided. I couldn’t change the layout plan at will, so I had to move it to this issue.”
"I have to say that Xiao Fang's progress in spy war literature is really impressive."
Ding Ling said: ""Latent" transcends the conventional pros and cons set up in "Dark War" The fighting routines broke through the self."
"There are not only intellectual battles, but also internal struggles, which vividly describe the complex and dark political ecology of the Central Government and the Military Government."
< br>Feng Mu commented: "This may be the key difference between "Insidious" and other spy novels."
"The setting of the 'fake couple' is also a highlight. The reckless and impulsive Cuiping makes Yu Zecheng passive at every turn. This treatment is innovative and continues throughout. This kind of counter-writing adds a lot of tension to the plot."
There was a trace of nostalgia in Ding Ling's tone.
Back then, when she went from Shanghai to Yan'an, she and the comrade who escorted her pretended to be a couple and passed the customs all the way.
"There is no doubt that "Latent" will be a masterpiece of espionage literature."
Kong Luosun couldn't help but sigh, "This Xiaofang is worthy of Mao Gong's high regard. Disciple.”
“What I’m most looking forward to in this professional writing assignment in Yanjing is Xiao Fang’s work.”
As soon as Ding Ling said this, the other judges nodded in agreement.
"Yes, I really wonder what kind of clever article he can write this time?" Wang Zengqi said.
“Mr. Mao once told me during his lifetime that Xiao Fang was full of creativity, could control various themes and genres, and had his own unique style. The revival of Chinese literature in the future will be necessary. He has a share of power."
Feng Mu said in a serious tone.
Wang Zengqi said: "In my opinion, one is not enough, the literary world needs at least 100 dialects!"
Feng Mu, Kong Luosun and others did not object to such an exaggerated statement immediately, but found it reasonable.
"Then let's make a decision. We won't do anything about seniority this time and just do whatever we want."
Ding Ling looked left and right, "What do you think? What?”
Feng Mu, Kong Luosun and others looked at each other and finally reached a consensus.
"Dark War", the number one recommendation from the public! The judges’ opinions come first!
Undoubtedly ranked first in the first National Outstanding Novella Award!
