Revive it!Wenhao Press

"Tell me," Qing Shuiming grabbed the edge of the table, leaned forward, and stared into Hualichun's eyes, "what else can I do?"

Under Qing Shuiming's eyes begging for help, Hualichun pursed her lips and expressed her thoughts: "Since Teacher Qingshui can't perceive anything other than fear, then turn this fear into a theme and use it to write how?"

"Turning fear... into a theme?"

Shimizu was stunned.He never thought of this path, because it was very different from his writing style.However, when Hualichun made this proposal, he seemed to hear the sound of something heavy breaking suddenly that only he could hear.

click.

"Yes." Hualichun continued, "For example, writing it in a private form, or concretizing the fear I feel into some kind of monster, and presenting it in the horror..."

Click, click.

Something is broken.Emerging from it was an inspiration that Akira Shimizu hadn't felt for a long time.

can do it.

If the theme is fear, then he can do it now.Unlike other subjects, he now has a lot of things he wants to let others know, and a lot of things he wants to say.

He is creative.

Hualichun hadn't finished speaking when she was interrupted by a hasty noise.The young man sitting across from him suddenly supported the edge of the table and stood up.

"Thank you. I'll go back and start writing now!" Qing Shuiming hurriedly grabbed his bag, and just about to get up, he staggered again unexpectedly.Xiang Kai immediately supported him quickly.

"Mr. Shimizu, what you have to do is not to start writing immediately." He said earnestly, "but to eat something first."

……

After finishing the set meal in front of him, Qing Shuiming didn't have time to say anything, so he hurriedly left with his bag on his back.He ran in the direction of his home, trying to write something new as soon as possible.

Watching his back disappear through the floor-to-ceiling glass, Xiang Kai was a little worried: "Is Teacher Qing Shui really all right?"

"I don't know either." Hualichun shook his head, "But Mr. Qingshui himself said that his sensibility has become numb and dull, but fear has dominated his heart instead? Since there is no way to go on the original path, we just have to A new path can be blazed.”

"What's more, the work is the writer's self-expression. This expression will eventually be seen by readers. But before that, the work will first come to the hands of the editor."

Hua Lichun said: "So, to a certain extent, I think the writer's act of submitting the work to the editor for review is also the author's conveying to the editor what he wants to say."

"This is something only a writer can do. Relatives, friends...no one can do it for him. If Editor-in-Chief Noguchi has even a little enthusiasm for his work, he will not be indifferent to it."

After hesitating for a while, Hualichun couldn't help but look at Xiang Kai: "Speaking of which."

"Teacher Xiangkai," she held back until now, and finally couldn't help but say, ""Ninja Onimaru" has been called a masterpiece by Shimizu-sensei."

"Hmm..." Xiang Kai tightened his hand holding his manuscript.

Working with Hualichun has become a daily routine, and Xiangkai has gradually become accustomed to her compliments and opinions as a student and a companion.But this was the first time he heard affirmation from someone other than Hualichun.

Moreover, it was a serious professional writer, the first professional writer he had met in his life, and the writer praised his "masterpiece".

Although they are doing the same thing and writing the same story, the whole world seems to be turned upside down at this moment.It was a view he had never seen before.

"It's really great to be here." Xiang Kai muttered to himself, with tears welling up in his eyes, "Because this is where my 12 years of youth and dreams are entrusted."

"Let's talk about it, it can get better!"

"I am back!"

As soon as he got home, Qing Shuiming kicked off his shoes at the entrance and went straight to his room on the second floor.

"Amin!" The elder brother who heard his voice poked his head out from the sofa, trying to stop him, "I want to talk to you..."

"Sorry, brother, I don't have time now!" Qing Shuiming's voice followed the sound of footsteps all the way up, "I want to write!"

Hearing this, Brother Qing Shuiming frowned tightly.

", write again..."

Qing Shuiming didn't notice his brother's reaction.On the way back, he kept thinking about how he could use what he had left to write works that surpassed the past when he lost all his sensibility except fear and tension.

The more he thought about it, the more he found that the suppressed emotions in his heart seemed to find an outlet, and his thoughts came out one after another.

The pretentious person who always thought he was a genius, thought he had reached the pinnacle of his life when he won the Newcomer Award, and felt disillusioned after learning the truth. The originally kind editor-in-chief Noguchi showed a truly terrifying face, and everyone around him looked like One's own enemies, depression, fear, struggle...

And integrating this concept of fear is the concept monster he wants to write in.

As if wanting to integrate all his emotions into the story in one breath, Akira Shimizu kept typing on the keyboard.When he finally came to an end due to exhaustion and hunger, the sky outside the window had turned dark.

After staring blankly at the sky for a while, he turned his gaze to his computer again, and couldn't help but mutter to himself in amazement: "I wrote so much at once... It's been a long time since I've tried this feeling..."

"By the way," the scene of the family restaurant emerged in Qing Shuiming's mind, "I forgot to ask that girl, which publishing house she is the editor of..."

***

"Hoshinosha rushed to publish an article on the Internet on the night of the deadline for the New Arts and Culture Awards."

In Bailang Club, the deputy editor-in-chief said to Noguchi Satoshi: "It seems that this new award is also the goal of Hoshino Club. If there is no accident, their works will pass the primary selection, and they will be our worst enemy."

Noguchi nodded.The scene of the classical award once again emerged in front of my eyes.

"Except for Hoshinosha, other writers have also put in their best efforts, and they should be regarded as enemies that must be defeated." He looked at the list of works selected for the New Arts and Culture Awards on the computer, "After all, when it comes to the Classical Awards, Hoshino Society has challenged the entire literary world."

"However, in the past six months or so, the expansion of the literary market has more than doubled compared to previous years." The deputy editor rubbed his chin, "The stimulation caused by Hoshino Club has played a big role. After all, writers will not be willing to stay behind. creatures."

Looking at the editorial department, the deputy editor-in-chief couldn't help feeling a little emotional: "People who have been here since ten years ago, there is no one but you and me. Now it is indeed the era of newcomers."

After saying this, the deputy editor-in-chief seemed to think of something again.

"By the way, when it comes to the era of rookies," he asked, "Where is Mr. Shimizu who won the rookie award? Shouldn't he recover from a setback?"

"Did you go too far?" the deputy editor-in-chief said, "You should also pay attention to it."

"The words of Mr. Shimizu have not been moved since the last serialization was rejected." As Noguchi said, he opened the drawer and took out a plan with a poster on the table. "But , I handed over this job to Nishimura, and asked him to persuade Mr. Shimizu to follow up."

The deputy editor-in-chief took a look at the proposal, and couldn't help being a little surprised: "Film adaptation? Or this year's top box office "Ryoko's Secret"... This work has already been negotiated?"

"It was confirmed the day before yesterday. The copyright owner is also very satisfied with Mr. Shimizu, and hopes to let him take over the adaptation work." Satoshi Noguchi tapped the table with his knuckles. It’s somewhat similar, which is good for me to appear on the camera. They want to use this as a gimmick to attract more female readers.”

"If it goes well, the adaptation of this movie might easily sell hundreds of thousands of copies."

Tomo Noguchi looked thoughtfully at the plan in the hands of the deputy editor.But suddenly, his phone vibrated.

After picking up the phone and looking at it, Noguchi Satoshi put the phone down again, the expression on his face remained unchanged.

"It was a message from Nishimura just now. He is on the field." Noguchi said, "Unfortunately, when we were talking, Mr. Shimizu rejected this adaptation work."

"But it doesn't matter, and it doesn't have to be him." He added, "Just let the second person take the top."

"...As expected, I can only say that it is you." The deputy editor-in-chief put down the proposal, looked at Tomo Noguchi and sighed, "Mr. Shimizu is too stubborn."

"I just hope that what happened ten years ago will never happen again."

***

"That guy, Amin, what's going on, he doesn't even eat much food recently, and he doesn't talk to us..."

Qing Shuiming's elder brother frowned and walked upstairs while muttering.

"The magazine that A Ming is currently signing is the "Literary Times" by Bailang Club, right?" He took out his mobile phone from his trouser pocket and searched casually. "I don't know who the editor is. We said..."

Searching for keywords on the Internet aimlessly all the way, unconsciously, Qing Shuiming's brother clicked into an anonymous forum.

His pupils constricted suddenly as he glanced over some of the discussions.

Speaking of "Literary Times", do you know the current editor-in-chief N?Many of the writers he was in charge of in the past did not end well, and he was simply the "ghost editor-in-chief".

Since you asked sincerely, I will tell you with great mercy w

Editor-in-Chief N's writers who were in charge only had two endings.One is that the work continues to be popular all the way, gaining both fame and fortune, just like K, the king of short stories.But another part of the writers either took long vacations or terminated their contracts. Some signed contracts with other magazines, some simply switched careers as screenwriters, game scripts, and fanzine writers. Some even closed their pens and returned to daily life. N's is good at squeezing the writers in his hand.Mr. S, who wrote "The Queen Bee's Tail Sting" before, was once in charge of him. After finishing it, he quit the literary and art circles and went back home to farm.Because this person happened to be my middle school classmate, so I only knew about it.

The scariest thing was ten years ago.At that time, the editor-in-chief, Mr. N, was responsible for a writer who seemed to have died suddenly.But Mr. N has been promoted all the way since then, gradually becoming the current editor-in-chief from an ordinary editor, clang!
