Chapter 319: Cheng Xuyuan killed one thousand enemies but lost eight hundred of his own
The weather is getting colder!
However, the campus of Yenching University is full of enthusiasm.
It's time for vacation!
For students, the most exciting thing is the holiday.
Many classmates are already preparing to go home for the New Year.
However, there are also some students from poor families who are not planning to go back.
Because going back not only requires buying train tickets, but also adding another mouth to feed at home.
If you stay in school, not only can you save money on train tickets, but you can also eat in the school cafeteria.
In order to help students earn more money, Yenching University contacted people and recruited a group of copyists to help students earn money.
Although most of the money paid for these copying jobs are movie tickets from Xiao Xitian, these movie tickets can also be exchanged for money.
However, no matter how difficult their lives are, these college students are still willing to spend money on buying books and watching movies.
For example, after the exams, many students would call their friends to watch the movie version of "The Pursuit of Happyness".
After watching the movie, Xu Simou pulled Cheng Xuyuan aside to talk about it.
"Xuyuan, this movie is so well made!"
"You don't know, many people shed tears when they watched it in the cinema."
"Hey, I thought I had memorized the plot of The Pursuit of Happyness by heart, so watching the movie again wouldn't be anything new to me!"
"But I was wrong. Very wrong. The performance in the movie is really different."
"It perfectly fits people's desire for beauty. This movie is so beautiful!"
Cheng Xuyuan was not surprised by Xu Simou's praise. Nowadays, "The Pursuit of Happyness" has become the hottest movie.
The photo of Hou Shimao and the female lead even appeared on the cover of "Film Monthly".
It can be said that Hou Shimao, who herds horses in the vast world, has become a small standard for girls today to choose a spouse.
Although this movie has been released for more than 20 days, there are still a lot of people watching it.
Not only that, various comments began to appear in newspapers.
There are even some bigwigs who commented on "The Pursuit of Happyness".
Cheng Xuyuan waited for Xu Simou to finish praising him, then smiled and said, "We can achieve this result mainly because Director Xie shot it well."
"Xuyuan, I saw a famous director published a review saying that the reason why "The Pursuit of Happyness" has caused such a strong response is not only because Director Xie shot it well, but more importantly, the content of the script is good."
“It will resonate with most moviegoers.”
Guo Yuangui sat aside and said solemnly.
Although he didn't have much money, Guo Yuangui still spent five cents to watch the movie.
He was equally fascinated by the movie, even though he had almost memorized the plot of the novel.
"Old Guo, you're too kind." Cheng Xuyuan said with a smile.
Just as the three of them were talking about the movie, Chen Jianxun strode over, and beside him, followed Li Tuo.
Cheng Xuyuan and Li Tuo had only had one meal together, so they could be considered acquaintances.
Seeing him coming, Cheng Xuyuan greeted him with a smile: "Jianxun, Li Tuo, why are you here?"
Chen Jianxun smiled but said nothing, while Li Tuo said, "Xuyuan, you may not know that someone raised some issues during the meeting of the Literary Association yesterday."
“If The Pursuit of Happyness is so popular that it doesn’t even win a short story award, readers will be dissatisfied.”
“I will question the fairness of this award.”
"You know, this proposal has received a lot of support."
"Finally, the moderator of the meeting had to suspend discussion of the topic."
After saying this, Li Tuo said: "Some people have said that if The Pursuit of Happyness doesn't win the award, people will be dissatisfied!"
Xu Simou stood up and said, "Brother, you are absolutely right."
"I don't know about other things, but in our Yanjing University, many people feel sorry for Xu Yuan!"
"If such a good work can't win an award, then this award has no weight, that's it."
When Cheng Xuyuan heard these words, he just smiled and said nothing.
Li Tuo continued, "Xuyuan, I think you shouldn't keep silent about this kind of thing. Some people just like to bully honest people."
"I tell you, you must let them know that honest people are not easy to bully."
"Bullying honest people will also make those people lose face."
Chen Jianxun, who was standing next to Li Tuo, looked strange.
Knowing that this matter was very important to Cheng Xuyuan, he did not tell his friends about the three articles.
Now Li Tuo gave Cheng Xuyuan some advice, asking him to feel this scene...
Just as all kinds of thoughts were running through his mind, Liu Zhenyun ran back from a distance with a book in his hand.
"Xuyuan, this issue of Yanjing Literature and Art is a special issue for you. Three novels were published in a row. You are amazing!"
Liu Zhenyun was very excited as he waved the book in his hand.
Although he had not read the contents yet, he felt that the fact that Yanjing Literature and Art was publishing a special issue of Cheng Xuyuan's novel at this time actually represented everything.
Li Tuo had a good relationship with Liu Zhenyun. When he heard what Liu Zhenyun said, he was shocked and snatched the magazine from Liu Zhenyun's hand.
"Let me see!"
As the magazine came into view, the first thing that caught Liu Zhenyun's eye was the cover of "Yenching Literature and Art", which was as plain as ever.
However, there is an extra line of words below the cover: Special issue of Cheng Xuyuan’s short stories.
Seeing this line of words, Li Tuo couldn't help but say: "Xuyuan, this "Yanjing Literature and Art" is very good to you."
"Opening a special number for you at a time like this shows my undisguised support for you!"
As he spoke, he opened the cover of the magazine.
The first three articles in the catalog are all Cheng Xuyuan's articles: "Qiu Ju Goes to Court", "Talk It Out Nicely" and "Endless".
Seeing that these three articles were all signed by Cheng Xuyuan, Li Tuo's heart moved.
He felt that Cheng Xuyuan's three articles were not that simple, so he quickly read them.
"Lao Li, I haven't read this magazine yet!" Liu Zhenyun said dissatisfiedly.
"I read fast and will finish in a moment!" Li Tuo said without raising his head.
Although Liu Zhenyun was helpless, Li Tuo was an old friend after all, so he had to sit down and chat with Chen Jianxun and others.
Xu Simou stood up and said, "Old Liu, where did you buy the magazine? I'll go buy one too."
"Xu Yuan's special issue, you must keep a copy for your collection."
Liu Zhenyun said unhappily, "Our Xinhua Bookstore in Haidian has already sold out."
"Let me tell you, the sales of Yanjing Literature and Art are already good, and this time it's Xu Yuan's special issue, so it's selling very fast."
"If you want to buy it, hurry to the front door."
Xu Simou took a look at the sky and immediately said to Cheng Xuyuan: "Xuyuan, lend me your bicycle. I will go and support you."
Cheng Xuyuan didn't say much and directly threw the bicycle key to Xu Simou.
In just over twenty minutes, Li Tuo had finished reading the three novels.
He put down the magazine and looked at Cheng Xuyuan with a strange look.
Just when Cheng Xuyuan was getting a little nervous about being looked at by him, he heard Li Tuo say, "Xuyuan, you really set off a big bomb this time!"
"You see, our literary world is going to be turned upside down today."
"Zhang Dening and his colleagues from Yenching Literature and Art are really bold. They dare to help you do such a thing."
"But then again, they are really tough this time."
"Dude, you're tough!"
Facing the thumbs up from Li Tuo, Cheng Xuyuan smiled softly and said, "It's nothing. I just wrote three novels. I didn't deliberately target anyone. Don't take it personally."
Seeing Cheng Xuyuan's innocent look, Li Tuo was stunned for a moment and then burst into laughter.
Just as Li Tuo said, with the release of "Yanjing Literature and Art", these three novels were like three thunderclaps, making many people's heads buzz.
In the editorial department of "October", Zhang Zhong'e finished reading "Yenching Literature and Art" in his hand and called Liu Xinwu over.
"Xinwu, have you read Cheng Xuyuan's three new works?" Zhang Zhong'e asked Liu Xinwu directly.
Liu Xinwu said: "I just read it, it's very well written."
“Both the expression and the purpose of the article are impeccable.”
"To be honest, Cheng Xuyuan is definitely an expert at writing short stories."
"Among these three novels, my favorite is..."
Listening to Lao Liu's serious nonsense, Zhang Zhong'e slammed the table and said, "Did I ask you to say this?"
"What I asked you to say was Cheng Xuyuan's original intention."
"What does Cheng Xuyuan mean? Do you really not know, or are you pretending not to know?"
Looking at the serious Zhang Zhong'e, Liu Xinwu could only say, "Editor-in-chief, I was wrong!"
"I already knew that Cheng Xuyuan wrote these three articles."
"To be honest, I have contributed to this!"
"At that time, he was going to give The Cliff to Yenching Literature and Art, so I suggested that he write a short story for Yenching Literature and Art."
"But my suggestion suddenly gave him an idea, and he came up with the idea for these three articles at once."
"I didn't expect that he would be able to accomplish it in just two weeks."
"To be honest, reading these novels makes me feel very happy."
"Why can't "The Pursuit of Happyness" win an award? Just because of a Dun Dun Miao, they negate other people's achievements. It's really ugly for some people to be greedy!"
"They should know that they should not bully newcomers at will!"
Looking at Liu Xinwu who was filled with righteous indignation, Zhang Zhong'e said, "Xinwu, what do you want me to say about you?"
"Let me tell you, these three big bombs dropped by Cheng Xuyuan will make some people very uncomfortable, and may even have a profound impact on their character."
"It's very likely that they will have no role in future selections!"
"But if Cheng Xuyuan does this, he will kill one thousand enemies and lose eight hundred of his own!"
"He's not going to win the short story award this time no matter what!"
"After all, we still have to maintain some dignity. Otherwise, if everyone makes a scene like Cheng Xuyuan did, then there will be no need to give this award in the future."
Zhang Zhong'e said this with emotion: "Young people do things without considering the consequences."
"He's hurting both sides!"
Today's second update is here, I wish you all a happy holiday (end of this chapter)
