Chapter 213 Round characters(2/2)
At that time, except for Cheng Xing who was under pressure to update the "Little Prince's Love Letter" on Red Pepper, in the serious literary circle, it was Tian Zhenlei who insisted that "Little Prince's Love Letter" be featured in the "Literary and Art Circle".
Although "Literary and Art Circle" is not a top literary magazine, it represents part of the attitude of the mainstream academic community. The draft of "Literary and Art Circle" has greatly inspired the supporters of the Little Prince.
So at Nanjing University, the editor-in-chief of "Acquiring" and "Modern" may not be well-known, but Tian Zhenlei's name must be widely known.
Tian Zhenlei smiled and replied: "If I were twenty years younger, I would have been bragging to them with my girls. How did I hire the Little Prince's manuscript? What else can I brag now?"
He said again: "But then again, the popularity of the little prince among girls is really explosive."
"yes."
"I just eavesdropped on the reading notes of those girls. I thought it was such an interesting story. I really wanted to come over and take a look, but I was embarrassed."
Cheng Xing laughed again: "Are you embarrassed? I believe that as long as you speak, they will definitely be willing to lend it to you."
Tian Zhenlei shook his head: "That may not be possible. Oh, no, the more I think about it, the more itch I feel. I am really curious about the little prince's new work this time."
"In my experience, it is better to lower your expectations a little. After all, the higher your expectations, the easier it is to fail."
No mistakes, one song, one post, one content, one reading!
Tian Zhenlei shook his head: "I believe I can increase expectations this time. Didn't you notice it? The little prince is also improving. I think it's very seductive just now."
After chatting, Cheng Xing suddenly became serious and said seriously:
"Teacher Tian, I want to ask you for something."
“It’s related to today’s seminar?”
"right."
"It's not related to Wang Zixu, who caused the girls' quarrels, right?" Tian Zhenlei smiled.
Cheng Xing said: "I came for this. Teacher Tian, I want to ask you to help you and say something nice to Wang Zixu at the seminar."
Tian Zhenlei stopped his smile and asked, "Is that Prince Xu asking you to come?"
When Cheng Xing heard this, he hurriedly explained: "No, no, he has never told me about this. He is very stubborn and has a very hard bone. He will never ask others to do such things. I want to help myself.
Help him.”
Tian Zhenlei looked at his eyes for a while before nodding and said, "Well, I understand. But I'm very embarrassed, I can't help you."
In Cheng Xing's disappointed eyes, he explained: "I even attended the seminar today. How could I be qualified to speak for this kind of scene?"
Cheng Xing was a little unhappy. However, he was mentally prepared for the result, and sighed and said, "I understand. Then please don't tell Wang Zixu about this. His personality must not like me to do this.
.”
Tian Zhenlei said: "He is so unemotional?"
"He...he doesn't have emotional intelligence, he just... has a little temper."
Tian Zhenlei nodded: "No wonder he has a bad reputation for being popular among the people."
From Cheng Xing's perspective, the difficulties that Wang Zixu faces now are actually very easy to solve. He just needs to declare himself a little prince and everything will be solved.
He doesn't even need to be exposed, he just needs to say a few good words to "Stone Fire" as the little prince, which can greatly alleviate the current reputation crisis.
But he just doesn't do it. It's like he is competing with himself. It's obvious that he doesn't do anything that is easy and insists on putting difficulties on himself.
It is because of this that Cheng Xing felt... life is so cool.
Instead, he wanted to take the initiative to help him do something and maintain his current survival attitude.
Tian Zhenlei said again: "I'm a little curious. Is it good for you to have a personal relationship with Wang Zixu? As far as I know, he is a serious writer who just stood out. You two have nothing to do with each other, right?"
Tian Zhenlei was very keen. Cheng Xing didn't expect him to realize this problem. After being stunned, he said, "We met by chance."
"Can you help me talk by chance? Combined with his poor popularity, it seems that this person is quite interesting."
Due to various reasons, Tian Zhenlei had a strange and subtle impression of Wang Zixu, but Cheng Xing did not dare to correct it.
Tian Zhenlei said again: "I will pay attention. If I have the opportunity to speak at the seminar, I will express my opinion."
Cheng Xing quickly bowed respectfully to him: "Thank you!"
"It's okay, it's okay."
Tian Zhenlei promised to pay attention, but in the end he just said a lively and general word. Although he is a tough person, he still adheres to the professional ethics that the editor abides: he does not participate in the struggle between writers.
What's more, this seminar was undercurrent before the opening. Even if the name Wang Zixu was not known before, everyone present at this time should have understood that he is not a simple person and will be more cautious when speaking.
Tian Zhenlei had to attend the seminar in advance, so he said goodbye to Cheng Xing. He walked alone along the campus road of Nanyang University and saw a familiar face.
"Teacher Tian!"
Tian Zhenlei smiled at the person who greeted him from afar: "Teacher Ji."
This younger one is Ji Shaofei, the editor of Huajian magazine.
At a certain Chinese literature overseas promotion conference organized by the Literature Association, they went to Paris together. They lived in the same room and were roommates.
At that time, Ji Shaofei left a deep impression on Tian Zhenlei with his liveliness and love of gossip.
"Teacher Tian, it's great. I'll have a companion this time." Ji Shaofei jogged all the way.
"this time?"
Ji Shaofei said: "Yes, I met Teacher Fang Hanlin last time, but unfortunately he didn't come this time."
Tian Zhenlei was a little surprised: "Which was the last time? "Stone Fire" held another seminar?"
Ji Shaofei was stunned, then smiled and said, "No, the last time was a seminar on "Yesterday Star" written by Shi Shuqiu, which was also held in Nanda."
"Oh." Tian Zhenlei nodded, but was still a little confused, "Is these two works related?"
Ji Shaofei walked with him and whispered: "It doesn't matter, but it's a little bit. The relationship here is inextricably linked and indescribable..."
Tian Zhenlei smiled and said, "Don't keep it aside."
"That's right..."
Ji Shaofei couldn't help but gossip, so he came to Tian Zhenlei's ear and whispered to him about the undercurrent behind the two seminars.
At the last seminar on "Yesterday Star", he and Fang Hanlin watched a large-scale conspiracy scene-
Shi Tonghe actually handed over to Hao Chengliang, an editor of "Ancient City", and asked him to suppress the manuscript of "Stone Fire". The reason was just at the wine table, when Wang Zixu offended his son.
This time, before the seminar on "Stone Fire", a large number of literary and artistic critics were dispatched to discuss a discussion about "Stone Fire". Shi Tonghe, who had not come out of the mountain for a long time, moved again and came to participate in this "literary rookie" in person.
seminar.
The root cause behind this is just a matter of not knowing the inside story. If you know the inside story, you will inevitably feel terrified to think about it carefully.
Tian Zhenlei frowned after hearing this: "There is such a thing? How could Shi Tonghe actually tamper with a newcomer for such a small thing?"
Ji Shaofei spread his hands and said, "I didn't believe it at first, but who made it true to me? Everyone knows that Hao Chengliang lost the manuscript of "Stone Fire" and even Yang Yin of "Yangjiang"
Can also testify.
"This time, Shi Tonghe took action personally. He didn't even take action in his own seminar. Think about it, what does it mean to be in charge of him this time?"
Tian Zhenlei said in a narrow eye: "It's really hard not to think too much."
Ji Shaofei said: "Anyway, I'm sweating for Wang Zixu!"
Tian Zhenlei thought for a while and suddenly said, "In your heart, what kind of person is Wang Zixu?"
"Why?"
"This morning, I watched an argument," Tian Zhenlei explained with a smile, "A few girls, half of them said they have bad character, while the other half said they have good character. In addition, there is also a writer friend who specially made an appointment with them.
I, please help Wang Zixu speak at the seminar.”
Ji Shaofei clapped his hands: "I know, that writer friend must be Ning Chunyan?"
"No. It's Cheng Xing."
"Why?"
Tian Zhenlei smiled and said, "So, I'm very curious, what kind of person he is?"
A black car slowly drove past the two of them.
In the car, Lin Feng closed his eyes and rested, put his hands on his knees, and sat upright.
The man next to him sat on his legs, arrogant, but he didn't say a word.
The air inside the car was strangely silent.
The driver in front said, "It's here."
Despite his reluctance, Lin Feng had to open his eyes and turn to the person beside him and said:
"Chairman Chen... is here."
"Yes." Shen Qingfeng narrowed his eyes and nodded.
