072 A Cat (Answer Revealed)
In Lin Tao's view, there are two kinds of people in life who will live more comfortably or easily than others.
One kind of person is content, and every gain is regarded as a surprise. Those who are content are always happy, and the gifts of others are not taken for granted, and should not be too extravagant.
The other kind of person is the one who surprises others. As the so-called gift of roses has a lingering fragrance, the love of roses is too heavy, and the fragrance is light enough but priceless.
At this moment, in the eyes of Wang Dongdong and Jiang Yan, Lin Tao naturally belongs to the latter.
A writer who can write a heart-wrenching work can also gluttonize readers.
And an unexpected work, the surprise will always be exaggerated in not being expected, even Jiang Yan, who has reviewed countless manuscripts, feels that she has misjudged people for the first time.
It's not that I look down on each other.
Rather, I underestimated that the words flowing from the pen of a 16-year-old high school student would have such a surprising effect.
"Dongdong, you've also read this draft, what do you think?"
Jiang Yan is also a teacher and friend to Wang Dongdong, but in Jiang Yan's eyes, Wang Dongdong's talent is the first.
At the beginning, she brought Wang Dongdong to the editorial department from Dongjiang University, and the original intention was precisely because she was optimistic about his talent and talent in creation.
But it backfired.
As Wang Dongdong's status in the editorial board has improved and become more and more stable, his potential in literature has begun to be hidden more and more.
Even until it is worn out.
Although this kind of result that neither of them expected would affect the friendship that had accumulated between the two over the years, Wang Dongdong's choice had deviated from Jiang Yan's original intention after all.
Although I am not angry, I am always a little disappointed.
From the manuscript in her hand, Jiang Yan actually faintly saw a trace of Wang Dongdong's shadow at the beginning, or it was not a shadow, but an incomparably amazing potential.
So she couldn't help but feel a little excited.
People at Avenues are always sympathetic.
Chinese say that literati are inferior, but in fact, as a senior, Jiang Yan is full of appreciation and curiosity about Lin Tao's works.
"I don't dare to point out the country in front of you, or Mr. Jiang, you can comment on it, and we won't have to rack our brains to think of recommendations when we go back, hahaha."
Wang Dongdong's laughter probably made Jiang Yan a little helpless.
The longer the time,
Her former favorite student is slowly missing a lot of things, including the bookish spirit, in fact, Wang Dongdong himself did not notice.
If it's in the past.
When Jiang Yan asked this question, he would not hesitate to put forward his own views on the manuscript, regardless of praise or disapproval, but with the purest attitude of a literati.
Definitely not like this.
"Your kid's poor temper hasn't changed for so many years, and it's okay, I won't delay your time, just say a few words.
One sentence is the first surprise in the opening book, and the other sentence is the feelings of the Chinese people who are often seen in the text. It's an excellent book, although this Lin Tao is a middle school student, I think it's better than you kid.
Okay, go ahead, contact Lin Tao immediately, we "Dongjiang Literature" want to sign this book with him, and talk to him about the specific cooperation method, Dongdong, sometimes the influence of a good work is not necessarily measured by money, you can make a step. ”
Wang Dongdong nodded hungarily, but did not speak.
He naturally understood the meaning of Jiang Yan's last sentence, but was this really possible?
Wang Dongdong will never tell Jiang Yan the answer in his heart.
For this friend and mentor who is also a teacher and friend, Wang Dongdong has always felt guilty, but there are many times in life where there is helplessness.
If you choose, you have to give up.
It's not about right or wrong.
It's just a choice.
It's just that Wang Dongdong was surprised and surprised.
Jiang Yan would give such a high evaluation of Lin Tao's manuscript.
The first sentence "I was surprised when I opened the book" is nothing, with his experience and skills, Lin Tao's work is indeed amazing.
At least in the current domestic market, there are still very few or even no works with such intentions.
But the second sentence "I often see the feelings of the Chinese people in the text" is not simple.
This is tantamount to raising Lin Tao's manuscript to a very high level, no longer a manuscript itself, but with certain feelings.
And the works that often have feelings are the pen power that only some writers with great writing strength and no lack of popularity have.
Is Lin Tao really good?
Wang Dongdong was even a little incredible.
How did he feel as if it was not him who supported Lin Tao just now, but Jiang Yan.
Before handing it over to Jiang Yan for review, he had already read the manuscript himself.
And more than once.
He anticipated that Lin Tao's Virgo might write prose.
Can write miscellaneous conversations.
He even writes poetry.
But as a veteran magazine editor, he found it hard to believe that the image constructed in Lin Tao's work could be a cat.
Or rather, a bear.
To be more specific, it's a panda, and it's a kung fu panda.
Not bad.
Lin Tao's Virgo is the inspiration he found in the movie "Kung Fu Panda", the same story, the same character, the same picture.
The difference is that this time the story will actually take place in China, not the background that the Americans have made up in the movie.
"The Panda Who Can Kung Fu".
This is the name that Lin Tao gave his new book.
And it is precisely this novel creativity and not childish pen power that makes Jiang Yan so optimistic about this work that should even be classified as children's literature.
But after reading the whole work, she didn't think so.
This is by no means a children's work, but an innovative work that finds its way out between youth and martial arts, as well as historical and nostalgic literature, and stumbles out.
Such imagination is undoubtedly very much in line with the image of Lin Tao as an author who is still a middle school student.
Kung fu.
Panda.
Shenlong -- and other novel characters, full of Chinese style.
And what can bring these elements together is only possible with this new generation of young writers.
Lin Tao's choice is undoubtedly extremely wise.
Although "Kung Fu Panda" is a series of movies made by the Americans, the movies are all Chinese-style.
Including characters.
Including the image of a panda.
As well as the theme of the film, Chinese Kung Fu.
As a series of films full of Chinese flavor, "Kung Fu Panda" has achieved extremely amazing box office results since its first release in 2008.
The fact that such a work can be recognized by the Western market is tantamount to giving Lin Tao a glimmer of possibility of success, at least not a blind eye.
Lin Tao knows very well that there is no problem with the adaptation of this script, since there is none, what he is doing now is just restoring the movie to the script.
Of course.
Lin Tao didn't think he was plagiarizing.
