Did Xie Qian secretly read her novel?
Xie Qian reads novels... How can a genius read novels!
Anyone who writes will encounter the same embarrassment that Wen Ying is facing now, that is, people familiar to her have read her books. This is also the reason why she is unwilling to tell her parents her pen name. There is nothing wrong with letting readers read it, as readers will read whatever she writes. But if she lets people close to her read it, she will inevitably feel restrained.
If a book wants to be interesting, it should have characters with different personalities, otherwise there will be no plot conflict.
Some characters are positive, others are negative.
The villain's ideas do not represent Wen Ying's own ideas, but the people around her, such as her parents and relatives and friends, may not understand such an arrangement.
Wen Ying herself refuses "writing guidance" from people around her. She decides what kind of story she wants to write by herself and does not need others to jump in and tell her what to do, or even forcibly interfere and ask her to change the direction of the story. When she learned that Zou Weijun and Xie Qian were also following Wen Ying's writing, Wen Ying's cheeks instantly became hot and her scalp tightened.
She did not deliberately hide her pen name in front of Xie Qian.
Because she never expected that Xie Qian would read a youth magazine like "Aige"!
There is no doubt that Xie Qian went to see it for her this time.
Xie Qian also quietly recommended her novel to Zou Weijun.
Wen Ying's cheeks were flushed and she was very excited.
So her male god is so warm!
Perhaps it was because Wen Ying's eyes were too bright, Xie Qian felt a little uncomfortable when she was looking at him.
"Just mentioned it casually."
If you are too sure, the hamster will definitely become arrogant again.
But if you are too cold, will it undermine the hamster's confidence?
Xie Qian weighed his words carefully. "I don't know much about writing, but your novel is well written. I can read it."
For Xie Qian, the four words "able to read" are already a very high evaluation. In fact, Xie Qian has bought the magazine "Aige" from the January 2005 issue to the current April issue. No matter whether the novels are long or short, Xie Qian could not finish reading any of them except Wen Ying's "Teenage Idol".
He cannot arbitrarily say that other authors' writing is bad, it's just that it really doesn't suit his taste.
What kind of things are they writing about... I took a quick glance and found that the male and female protagonists in those novels are so awkward. They seem to have neither work nor school, and they just fall in love in different ways and places every day. The stories have no logic, and the characters have no logic either. Wen Ying's novels are considered a breath of fresh air among them.
Such a magazine has very good sales.
Although Xie Qian doesn't like it, he can respect other people's hobbies. Boys and girls are two different creatures, and girls may not understand boys' hobbies.
Xie Qian used cautious words, saying that Wen Ying's novel was "readable." Zou Weijun looked at his son with disapproval:
"It's more than just enjoyable to read. Wen Ying's writing is clearly excellent. Xie Qian, you can't compare it with classics, but with authors of the same age. If Wen Ying's book can maintain its performance in the later stages, I'm very optimistic about its sales after it is published as a standalone volume!"
Zou Weijun went to work in the publishing department, where he had to plan books, so he naturally studied the current book market.
Zou Weijun has studied all the best-selling books on the market in recent years, including those by several popular youth literature writers.
These young writers must have good writing skills, otherwise they would not stand out among the crowd.
But writing style is not equal to writing strength.
Sometimes, racking your brains to come up with a bunch of adjectives is not as impressive as a description of just a few words.
Writing style does not equal experience.
It’s okay to write about youth and campus life because I have that experience.
Writing about things outside of campus would be quite embarrassing.
Wen Ying's writing isn't as polished as some of the most popular young adult literature writers, but her writing is quite impressive, and her storytelling is excellent, demonstrating her logical thinking. If there's anything she's lacking, it's in detail. Her writing is still too limited, and her transitions between scenes can be a bit abrupt, and her descriptions lack precision. She still has a lot of room for improvement!
IQ is inherited, but writing talent is not innate. Every word and every story written by a writer is the result of both reading and life experience. Because everyone's perception of words and life is different, writers have different writing styles.
Zou Weijun has no way of determining Wen Ying's future achievements. Judging solely from her current level, Wen Ying may not become a famous writer, but she will definitely be able to keep her job as a writer.
Zou Weijun does not shy away from mentioning Wen Ying's shortcomings. If no one had pointed them out to Wen Ying, Wen Ying herself might have realized them much later and would have taken many detours.
Zou Weijun was even more generous in expressing his approval. For someone working in the publishing industry, the highest praise Zou Weijun could think of was to plan and publish this book for Wen Ying!
"If you have this intention, can you let me plan it?"
ah?!
Wen Ying thought that today's meal was to celebrate Zou Weijun's success, but unexpectedly, Zou Weijun changed the subject and talked about planning the publication for Wen Ying.
Of course Wen Ying wants to publish a book.
She likes writing, but she is not the kind of person who is aloof and ignorant of the world. Few people would refuse the opportunity to be rewarded with fame and fortune while pursuing her dreams!
When Aige invited Wen Ying to write a long serial, Wen Ying thought about publishing a single volume.
It can be said that as long as her book is not cut off by the magazine during serialization and has good popularity, the probability of it being published as a single volume after serialization is very high.
Even if the magazine doesn't publish her book, other publishing houses may still be interested in it, but that will happen in the later stages of the serialization or after the serialization ends.
Including the latest April issue of "Aige", "Teenage Idol" has only published 100,000 words. Xiao Niu and Wen Ying have discussed this and the magazine hopes that she can write the book to 300,000 words.
If the story is 300,000 words, only one-third of it has been published. The publishing house would not come to us so early!
If it was any other publishing house, or someone other than Zou Weijun, who came to her, Wen Ying would be very happy, thinking that the other party had a keen eye for talent.
It happened to be Zou Weijun.
Is it really not because of personal relationship that Zou Weijun wants to publish a book for her?
Wen Ying approaches Xie Qian, becomes friends with him, and tries to save Xie Qian from a tragic fate in the future, not because she wants anything in return - as a lawyer, she should be used to acting out of interests, but when it comes to Xie Qian, Wen Ying least wants to be confused with interests.
Xie Qian is Xie Qian, and interests are interests.
Xie Qian was Wen Ying’s idol in her previous life, just like she gave up her dream of writing in her previous life. Both the idol and the dream of writing were so out of reach.
In this life, she became friends with Xie Qian and rediscovered her dream of writing. She wanted everything to be simple.
The friendship between adults requires benefits in return, and her friendship with Xie Qian does not fall into this category.
In a very short time, Wen Ying figured it out.
Just as Wen Ying was about to refuse Zou Weijun, Xie Qian spoke up to stop her.
