311, I have read the whole book
Li Xiang was first involved in the literary circle and knew not many people. He had poor connections, but he was not very famous. He could recognize him if he had never seen him. In short, he should be one of the most famous people in the literary circle.
The reason why the guests on the scene did not recognize Li Xiang at the first time was mainly because they didn't care. He was too young, and his clothes and temperament were different from others, and they were incompatible with the mainstream atmosphere in this circle.
Shengjing is the cultural center of China. The great writers here are all extraordinary. Those who can be invited to attend today's tea party. Perhaps they can be sought after by fans and even more famous than those present, but these people will definitely not be recognized by the mainstream literary circle, and they will not be invited to attend today's tea party.
Although today's tea party is a casual party, the more such a party is, the more clear the part between inside and outside the circle. It is impossible for people who are not truly recognized to receive invitations.
Li Xiangneng was invited, on the one hand, received the bonus of the "Times Literature" Newcomer Award, and on the other hand, he was recommended by Bai Su.
Bai Su is the winner of the highest literary award in China - the Purple Gold Literature Award. His status is not affected by his living environment. Of course, those who have seen his living environment - that garbage house will agree with his extraordinaryness. After all, that kind of environment is not something that ordinary people can live in, but people who have lived there for many years are definitely not ordinary people. It is said that they are light and not enough to fully reflect his ability.
Before Bai Su came, Li Xiang no longer needed his introduction and chatted with the people present. Everyone kept a strong curiosity about him, asking questions, asking questions. Although they are also public figures, they are far less popular than singers. Moreover, people who write books are generally more restrained. In terms of personality, most of them are introverts, and they are not good at appearing in front of the camera, and even speaking in public places will be unnatural and restricted. They are both evasive and curious about the lives of public figures. It is rare to meet one today, so of course they have to ask more questions.
This surprised those who entered the venue to see this scene in surprise - a group of middle-aged and elderly people chatted enthusiastically around a tall young man, and they asked curiously who this was.
Li Xiang? Which Li Xiang?
Who else can Li Xiang talk about this time? After they looked at it again, someone recognized that this was indeed Li Xiang who was very popular recently. Those who did not recognize him could know that this was Li Xiang who just won the Newcomer Award of Time Literature.
Moreover, Li Xiang's latest novel "I Am a Cat" has been serialized in "Time Literature" and published the 30,000 words in the first part, which has caused a huge response. It is a novel written in the first person, which is the only one.
Among the people at the scene, why could the old man Yang Kun recognize Li Xiang? Although he saw the seat sign, his tone showed that he had known about Li Xiang before.
There is a reason for this. Yang Kun had previously paid special attention to Li Xiang. Because his identity is a writer, if subdivided from literary genres, he would be roughly divided into the category of fairy tales and fables.
He has written many fairy tale books. The protagonists of this kind of books are different from other genres. Most of the other genres are humans as the protagonists, while the protagonists of fairy tale books are all kinds of strange, such as cats, dogs, wolfs, lions, tigers, flies, mosquitoes... It is not surprising that they are the protagonists.
If you really need to make a careful calculation, the protagonists written by Yang Kun can form a huge zoo with both navy, army, air and army.
Although he wrote books with cats as the protagonist earlier than Li Xiang, the genre of fairy tale books limited his cats and dogs to cause much response. Of course, the children's amazement was enough to make him happy.
At first, he thought that Li Xiang's "I Am a Cat" was also a fairy tale subject like him, but it was strange. How could people who have written hardcore novels like "Love Life" write fairy tales. Can they write fairy tales? Fairy tales books don't look at the simple plot and the language is naive and cute. This is a clever trick. To achieve this level, it is impossible to do without long-term experience in controlling words.
However, when the latest issue of "Time Literature" was published, he read the first 30,000 words of "I Am a Cat" and immediately knew that he had guessed wrongly before. This is not a fairy tale book, it is a serious orthodox literature, and it seems that it has a high idea. It is only 30,000 words now, and there is no way to see much.
At the end of the year, "I Am a Cat" set off a wave of discussions in the Chinese literature circle. People talked about this special book, discussed its protagonist, the kitten with a life-like string, and discussed the meaning behind this book.
In the opening part, Feng Jixin wrote a preface for this book, talking about the artistic heights achieved in the book and the allusions to social reality, which shows that this book is by no means just taking the novel route. Although cats are a gimmick, this is deliberately set up to highlight the themes in the book.
The preface written by Feng Jixin itself illustrates the connotation of this novel.
This is a traditional serious novel, but its influence exceeded the scope of serious literature at the first time. Because Li Xiang is a star with his own system, the book quickly spread inside and outside the fan circle. No matter whether he has read this book or not, he has heard of it.
I am a cat, which is very attractive to young people. I read the first 30,000 words, and there is no excessively heavy atmosphere of traditional literature. Every time I read a paragraph, I always consciously push people to continue reading, following this kitten to experience a different experience.
Of course, for Li Xiang's fans, even if Li Xiang wrote Ah Boci's E-Wu Song, they can still read it with relish.
...
Bai Su rushed over and looked for Li Xiang at the first time. When he saw that Li Xiang didn't need to introduce him, he was already familiar with many people. He finally felt relieved, took a deep breath, and sat down in his position with a smile.
He got drunk in the cafe last night, which caused him to oversleep this morning. He originally wanted to introduce Li Xiang half an hour in advance, but he almost arrived late.
But it seems that Li Xiang didn't need his introduction, which made him very pleased. He always regarded Li Xiang as an 18-year-old young man and often ignored his other identity. As a singer, he is a public figure and his communication skills are undoubtedly. These people know how to deal with people, and are better at leveraging their strengths to make people like them.
As a famous singer, Li Xiang should be the best in this regard. Those who stand out from the talent show are enough to prove their unique charm.
"Okay, it's not that old Li has arrived. He was discharged from the hospital yesterday. He probably still has difficulty moving. Let's wait for him while chatting. Years are like water, and year has passed. The last tea party seemed to be yesterday. For an old man like me, one year or another, but today I feel very energetic because the young people came, which has lowered our average age by teenagers all at once." Deng Poxiao, chairman of Shengjing Writers Association, began to speak.
This is an old man with white hair. As he said himself, he is in a very good spirit today. Although he is old, his face is rosy.
As soon as he finished speaking, a relaxed laughter sounded at the venue, and many eyes looked at Li Xiang, who was sitting not far from the door. He was the youngest person here.
Deng Boxiao also smiled and looked at Li Xiang, then changed his eyes and said to everyone: "Today is a tea party, just chat, say whatever you want. Before the chat, I will introduce to you the newcomer who came today, Master Tang."
A middle-aged man stood up and waved to everyone. This was also the first time that the writer has participated in a tea party. Unlike Li Xiang, he is silent and has been sitting in his seat tacitly after entering the venue. Occasionally, someone chats with him.
Deng Boxiao did not introduce it much. Everyone knew his representative work as soon as they heard Master Tang’s name. He then introduced Li Xiang, and Li Xiang also stood up to greet everyone.
As soon as he sat down, Yang Kun, who was sitting next to Dunperxiao, couldn't wait to ask: "When will your book "I Am a Cat" be printed and released?"
"I Am a Cat" is now published in "Time Literature". This magazine is a half-monthly issue and is only released in half a month. "I Am a Cat" has 310,000 words in the number of words, and the first issue was published at the limit of 30,000 words. This is already the largest number of words that can be accommodated. If there are too many, it will not work. It will affect the size of the entire magazine. So if you calculate this, it will take 10 issues to be published, which is 5 months. The time has been delayed too long.
After reading the 30,000 words in the early stage, Yang Kun felt as if he was scratching his claws. He always thought about the possible plot later, and wanted to get the full version and read it in one go. For this reason, he almost directly asked Feng Jixin to save the manuscript.
In view of this situation, Li Xiang's "I Am a Cat" will be printed and distributed at the same time as Time Literature is published. The publisher was found by Time Literature magazine. At present, the progress has reached the grading process of typing, and the proofreading version has been delivered to Li Xiang. Please ask him to confirm it at the end. If there is no accident, "I Am a Cat" will be officially launched and distributed on the Lantern Festival.
After Yang Kun's words fell, laughter immediately broke out at the scene, and someone joked: "Can Teacher Yang help me? You can ask someone Xiao Li for manuscripts, or you can find Teacher Feng."
At the same time, many people agreed with Yang Kun's words. Everyone also read the latest issue of "Time Literature" and read the beginning of "I Am a Cat", and felt itchy. For those of them, the most annoying thing is serialized novels, which are simply annoying! For example, those online novels!
Bai Su, who was sitting on Yang Kun's right, picked up the teacup and drank a sip of tea. He sighed comfortably, put down the teacup, pushed his shoulder, and said, "I have read the complete version."
Chapter completed!
