Chapter 1578 Writers of all ages
Chapter 1578 A universal writer for all ages
Around the same time.
Sanlitun is not an open road. There are several cars parked on the road, and it is difficult to pass a motorcycle.
When he saw the word "quick return" on the BP machine, Lao Lin hurried home without calling to inquire about the situation. After all, the Lin family was different now, and there was no need for him to hold on to the idea of earning more money as before. Thinking of it, I don’t finish my work until nightfall every day.
"Whose boy is getting married? Or what happened in the village?"
Because he saw an interview car with the words "Xihong City Television Station" printed on it, he couldn't help but whisper in his heart.
When the motorcycle turned a corner and he could see the gate of his courtyard, he stepped on the brakes, thinking he was going the wrong way.
There were many people gathered around the door on the three floors outside, including Lao and Zhuang Xiang from the village, cultural figures wearing glasses, and reporters with cameras and microphones standing in the open space recording programs.
Lin Yue became a best-selling author. In the past, reporters would visit him for interviews, but those were just petty quarrels between little people in a small temple. It was different now. This situation... almost scared him to the point of paralysis.
What the hell does this happen?
The churning sound of the tricycle woke up the villagers watching the excitement in a nearby alley. Two middle-aged men who were chatting together saw Lao Lin coming and quickly stopped him.
"Lao He, third brother, what happened to my family?"
Seeing that his face turned pale, He Zhifang seemed to be frightened by the two men's actions, so he quickly comforted him: "Don't worry, it's a good thing, a good thing."
"Good thing?"
When he heard that it was a "good thing", Lao Lin breathed a sigh of relief and the tension in his heart eased: "What is a good thing?"
"Your son is Zhuangzhuang. He has been admitted to college."
Admitted to university?
When Lao Lin heard this, his hands, feet, lips, and the flesh on his face were all trembling.
It was too unexpected. This news was too unexpected for him...
Originally, Lin Yue was obsessed with writing novels. He and his wife no longer had any hope for their son to go to college. They usually tried to persuade their son to study with the idea of doing his best and obeying fate. He thought that even if he couldn't get into the bachelor's degree, he could study for a junior college. That would be fine in the future. Even if your talents are exhausted, you can still find something serious to do. You don't have to be like them, riding a tricycle and sweeping the streets.
A few days ago, when they filled out their application form, the couple asked Lin Yue. The answer he got was that his grades were average. They thought that their son had not done well in the exam and was in a bad mood. They comforted him by saying that if it didn't work, he would try to repeat the study for another year. If he really didn't want to study, he would study hard. Writing novels is fine, but the money I have now is enough to build a house, marry a wife and a wife, so I think it’s more than enough.
Who would have thought that just a few days ago, Lao He told him that Lin Yue was admitted to college.
Lao Lin didn't read much, but he remembered a saying, that is, reading is the only way to be good in everything.
Now that Lin Yue is admitted to college, this is not only seeing his son Jackie Chan, but also realizing a wish that he could not achieve in this life and can only hope to be realized by the next generation. Can you not be excited? Can you not be excited?
"Getting into college is more than just getting into college..." Han Laosan said with a mixture of envy and jealousy: "Zhuang Zhuang is the top scorer in the college entrance examination in our province. Sanlitun... has produced a real dragon."
His eldest grandson got admitted to a second-tier college last year, and the family is very respected in the village. They didn't believe it when they heard Lin Yue's results just now. It wasn't until a reporter from the city TV station came over with a camera that everyone dispelled their doubts. Accepted the reality.
Now, no one will show off how many points their son got in the college entrance examination, because the son of the old Lin family has used up all the literary fortune in Sanlitun... he is a writer and the number one scholar.
"What?!"
Lin Yue was admitted to college, which surprised Lao Lin. The title of top scorer in the college entrance examination immediately confused him. He staggered and almost fell off the motorcycle. Fortunately, Lao He had quick eyesight and quick hands to catch him.
"Han Laosan, look at what you did."
"What did I do? Isn't it okay to tell the truth? He will know about this sooner or later."
He Zhifang stopped talking, because Han Laosan was right, Lao Lin learned about it one second earlier and one second later.
"Lao He? You said... I'm not dreaming, right?"
Lao Lin, who was still dizzy just now, grabbed his arm with such force that it felt like being pinched by a pair of pliers, which caused some pain.
"Old Lin, you're not sure if it's a dream, so don't test it on me." These half-joking, half-crying words dispelled the doubts in Old Lin's mind and eased the pain in his wrist.
"Zhuang Zhuang... is the top scorer in the college entrance examination..."
No wonder the entrance to the small courtyard was crowded with people. Now he knew the reason. After finishing the work, he thought about the time when his son was taken to have his fortune told by his aunt when he was a child. He thought that if the blind Mr. Panhekou was still alive, he would have to thank them. It was all because of the name change.
Ah...it's really like a fish leaping over the dragon's gate.
"This little brat, when I asked him a few days ago, he said his grades were average. Let's see how I deal with him when he comes back."
After accepting the fact that his son was the top scorer in the college entrance examination, Lao Lin was no longer dizzy, his feet were no longer weak, his eyes were brighter, his hands were stronger, and his waist was straighter than before.
How did he know that from Lin Yue's point of view, he could obviously get a score of 750, but ended up getting a score of 740, so what if he didn't get an average score?
At this time, two people from the TV station noticed Lao Lin's reaction, quickly ended their work, and came over with cameras and microphones.
"Are you... the father of classmate Lin Yue?"
"It's...it's me."
Lao Lin was a little embarrassed in front of the camera and microphone, and spoke stumblingly.
"Mr., we are reporters from the Life Channel. Can you allow us to interview you? Just have a casual chat, don't be nervous."
"Okay, okay... Oh, don't call me sir. I'm not a gentleman, I'm just a tricycle rider."
His honest and courteous answer made He Zhifang and Han Laosan snicker aside.
"Mr. Lin, do you know that your son scored 740 points in the college entrance examination?"
Lao Lin chuckled and said, "I just knew it, I just knew it."
Although he was smiling, it looked unnatural no matter how he looked.
Lao Lin has never been on TV in his life, but now he is on TV because of his son. He won't be nervous unless others tell him not to be nervous.
"Then do you know where your son has gone? We have been here for a while and have not seen him come back." The reporter asked a question that was not in the manuscript, hoping to relieve Lao Lin's inner nervousness through chatting.
"He told me early in the morning that he was going to Shanghai for a new book launch event, and he left without eating. Didn't Zhuangzhuang tell you? Oh, she was still sleeping when I left. Maybe she didn't know this
thing."
The two reporters suddenly realized that no wonder Lin’s mother did not reply to the person she contacted. She must be on the plane.
Well, they have completely surrounded the Lin family here. They ran away to hide away for a while. They said they were holding a new book release party. God knows if that was an excuse to not want to be watched.
…
Come on, the two reporters really guessed wrong. Lin Yuefei did not want to hide from the peace in Shanghai. He was indeed meeting with people from the publishing house to plan the new book launch event.
Winning the top prize in the college entrance examination is naturally expected for him. What he wants to do is to maximize his interests. On the one hand, he can fulfill his parents' dream of becoming a college student, and on the other hand, he can use the persona of the top prize writer to pave the way for his sixth novel.
After arriving at his destination, he discussed with the people from the publishing house and started promotion activities through various channels the next day. A week later, he held a new book launch conference at Xinhua Bookstore on Wuning Road.
The new books this time are different from the previous ones. "Shanshan Comes to Eat", "First Intimate Contact", and "Thirty-Three Worlds and Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms" are all novels with emotional themes. This time the novel is called "The Legend of Wukong", which is similar to
"Sou Shen Ji" also has a very strong mythological flavor, but compared to the latter, it has a wider audience. After all, in the current environment, as long as there is a TV in the family, everyone knows "Journey to the West".
The difference is that its plot has been drastically changed, only the characters and mythological background are retained, but the content revolves around the love stories of Sun Wukong and Zixia, Ah Yue and Zhu Bajie, Xiao Bailong and Tang Seng, Kui Mulang and Baihuaxi
Expand, in addition, the novel also has a larger purpose, which is to fight against the authority of heaven, or the gods and Buddhas in the sky.
Those who have watched "Westward Journey" will have a familiar and cordial feeling.
When the book was being sold, there was a long queue in the bookstore. Book buyers lined up from the store to the corner of the road. Even juniors in their thirties and forties came here to see what is so attractive about the new work of this number one writer.
Where, who would have thought that they would be attracted by the author himself before even reading the content, so Lin Yue really won a large number of fans just by his appearance and signature.
