Chapter 145 I’m not here to give a speech(2/2)

Yan Zishan took a serious look at him, but to Shi Shuqiu's regret, he did not ask his name. Mainly, Yan Zishan happened to see Wang Zixu next to Shi Shuqiu, and suddenly realized that he was sitting there sleeping.

Yan Zishan felt a little depressed: "I think so. Different people have different orientations towards literature. Everyone read children's books when they were young, but stopped reading them when they grew up. This does not mean that children's books are not good.

"My opinion is that if your work can be written into the heart of one person, for that person, your work is the best. If you can write into the hearts of 10 people, it will be the best for that person.

treasure.

"If no one thinks highly of what you write and only you can understand it, then at least the story is your own perfect story. It can satisfy yourself and it has value."

applause.

Prince Xu woke up from his dream and glanced at the stage in confusion, then glanced at Shi Shuqiu next to him, and quickly sat up straight.

Shi Shuqiu then asked: "If you put it this way, wouldn't those literary awards be meaningless?"

Yan Zishan said: "Of course literary awards have their own orientation and interests, including magazines. Their mission is more to guide and guide readers to see works worth reading for them.

"I have served as a judge for a literary award before. Several judges had different opinions. They were divided between the first and second place for a long time. In order to judge the first and second place, I even re-opened a separate review. In fact, I still have no idea.

I don’t think the second-place work is significantly worse than the first-place work…”

Having said this, he looked deeply at Wang Zixu in the audience:

"But in the end I still voted for the first place. Because to be fair, I think the first place should be seen by more people."

The host asked: "Are you talking about the last Feishi?"

Yan Zishan shook his head: "Actually, the first place in that literary competition..."

He was originally going to say that the first place winner in the competition would be sitting in the first row. That guy is a living specimen of an author. If he writes with the same recklessness as him, without considering his status in the literary world, maybe his life will be much happier.

.

But in the middle of his words, he glanced at the top person in the audience and found that he was still in a daze. He sighed and shook his head: "Forget it."

Shi Shuqiu was standing next to Wang Zixu. When Yan Zishan glared at him, he thought he was looking at himself, and suddenly felt a little confused.

The host signaled for the exchange of possession, and the microphone was passed to someone else. Shi Shuqiu sat down feeling depressed, startling Wang Zixu next to him and woke him up.

Wang Zixu asked: "Is it over?"

Shi Shuqiu's tone was cold: "No."

Wang Zixu rubbed his nose, tilted his head, and closed his eyes again.

Another student stood up and said:

"Teacher Yan Zishan, I also want to ask the question asked by classmate Shi Shuqiu just now, that is, I have no self-confidence, especially after my manuscript was rejected many times. My self-confidence was destroyed and I even forgot how to write. I want to ask

, have you ever encountered rejection? What did you do after your manuscript was rejected?"

Yan Zishan said: "Of course my manuscripts have been rejected, that's a lot. I come from a grassroots background and have no background. My parents don't even say they are writers or editors. They don't even read books. Their understanding of literature is that literacy is enough.

. If I hadn’t taken the royalties and paid them back home, they would still have thought that I wasn’t doing my job properly.

"When I first submitted my manuscript, I kept getting rejected. I was very unhappy at first because I thought my writing was as good as those in those magazines, so why should their work be published but not mine? I once doubted my own vision.

Is there a problem?

"Later I figured it out, it's not that I have a problem. It's nothing wrong with me. If I can write as well as them, then why should mine be published but not theirs? I have to write better than them to have a chance.

Climb up.

"Everyone will be unconfident, unless you have connections. If you don't, then you must have a kind of integrity - no matter whether it is good or not, whether there is any reward, just keep writing, like Balzac. Keep writing.

Keep pitching until you write better than others."

Applause again.

Wang Zixu turned to Shi Shuqiu and asked, "How long will it take for it to end?"

Shi Shuqiu gritted his teeth: "How do I know?"

Wang Zixu rubbed his face and stared at the floor with a zombie-like expression. The chair was not good and it was too uncomfortable to sleep on.

When the host announced the end, many students were still unfinished. Only Prince Xuru was granted amnesty.

Shi Shuqiu stood up suddenly and rushed to the podium. Soon Yanzishan was surrounded by enthusiastic students. Although the question and answer session was over, they still had questions.

The girl with long eyelashes turned around and said, "Let's go and listen too."

Girls with bangs: "Let's go."

The auditorium is a fan-shaped structure, and the center of the circle is the podium. Yan Zishan is standing on the podium, and he is surrounded by people.

Wang Zixu held a notebook and stood outside the circle, looking around.

"Hi."

The wavy-haired girl patted his back, and Wang Zixu turned around and recognized her.

The girl said with a bit of joking: "When Teacher Yan Zishan was giving a lecture just now, were you sleeping the whole time?"

Wang Zixu was embarrassed: "Has it been seen by many people?"

The girl said: "Why don't you listen? Don't you understand?"

The prince was dumbfounded, and then nodded casually: "Yes, I don't quite understand."

The girl said: "Do you know who the person sitting next to you just now is?"

Before Wang Zixu had time to ask, the staff over there came out to maintain order: "Students, Teacher Yanzishan has a schedule for the next time, and we can't stay any longer. Please evacuate and let the teacher leave!"

When the students heard this, they immediately shouted louder and louder. Wang Zixu was asked by Lin Feng to ask for an autograph and could not let him go, so he squeezed in like a loach.

"Teacher Yan Zishan, please sign your name for me!"

Yan Zishan had already picked up his bag, but when he turned around and saw Wang Zixu, he paused and turned around.

The staff nearby reminded: "Teacher Yan Zishan, we are already waiting over there."

Yan Zishan said: "It's okay, I'll sign his name."

After saying that, he looked up at Wang Zixu and said, "You also want my autograph?"

Shi Shuqiu was stunned and turned to look at Wang Zixu. From his tone, Yan Zishan knew this napping guy?

Wang Zixu knew that Yan Zishan had misunderstood, and said, "Then I want two signatures."

Yan Zishan snorted coldly, took out his pen and said, "You really came to the East China Sea?"

Wang Zixu said: "Yes, I'm here."

Yan Zishan wrote a paragraph to Wang Zixu very much, and signed his name at the end. Before Wang Zixu had time to read what he wrote, he kept saying:

"I also have a friend who asked me to get an autograph from you. It's the guy who came in third at the Xihe Literary Society last time. His name is Lin Feng. He wants to get an autograph from you."

Yan Zishan nodded and signed a few more items casually.

A student next to me immediately shouted: "Teacher, sign your name for me too!"

The rest of the crowd immediately agreed.

Yan Zishan picked up the pen, gently put the pen cap on the pen tip, and put the pen into his breast pocket, indicating that he would stop there.

"Teacher Yanzishan!"

Yan Zishan was not as cordial as when he spoke just now. When he got to the audience, he had an air of indifference about him, and turned around and squeezed through the crowd.

Just as Wang Zixu was about to take his notebook back, he was suddenly slapped by the trio of girls behind him: "What did Teacher Yan Zishan sign for you?"

He opened the notebook and showed it to them for a few seconds, then put it away and hurried out of the auditorium door.

Shi Shuqiu asked: "What did you write?"

The girls looked at each other in silence for a moment, with shock in their eyes, and did not answer him.

Yan Zishan's signature reads: As long as you believe in yourself, you will overcome all obstacles in front of you.
