Chapter 208 These two Gu Lu are not the same person!
"The author describes in detail how poor Wei Erxiao's family is. The original work is just seven words [later declined, unreadable], which is quite concise."
"The key is the author, the writing is so smooth."
[The afterglow in the sky faded away, the shadow of Nanshan became blurred, and the stars came out one by one... Year after year, Erxiao grew up like an adult, with a handsome appearance. Because of his poor family, he has not yet arranged a marriage.]
There are no rare idioms or words. Not to mention how beautiful it is, it just looks really smooth.
Especially because Liu Yong has been reviewing manuscripts for a long time, he can hear the voice reading out loud in his mind when he reads, which makes the reading process smoother.
Just from this opening, Liu Yong was looking forward to the following content. At the same time, he also began to wonder why the name of the protagonist in the original work was changed.
The protagonist of the original novel was named Wei Yunwang, but in the hands of the author Gu Lu, he became Wei Erxiao.
"Wei Erxiao should be a variant of Wei Xiaoer. The reason why it is not Xiaoer is because the protagonist has studied for two years." Liu Yong made a thorough analysis.
In a short story, the identities of the main characters are blurred, for example, Japan likes Mr. A, Mr. B, and other letters, while China likes waiters Zhang San and Li Si.
The essence is to make the protagonist represent "most people", or to remove the sense of substitution, so that readers can see the story from a God's perspective. I don't know what the purpose of this story is.
Continue reading, the following story line is the same as the original novel. One night, Wei Erxiao saw a group of people. The two people in front were maids carrying double lanterns, and the one behind was a scholar dressed in mink and silk, leading a beautiful girl, who was a vixen.
The scholar said that his sister and Wei Erxiao were destined to be together. Without giving the protagonist any chance to react, he led the two maids away, leaving only his beautiful sister.
The girl looked back and smiled, "You are not the one who holds your head, why are you so arrogant?"
The original translation is: "You are not a bookworm who reads books by heart, so how can you have the air of a frustrated scholar?"
The rewrite is: "You didn't say 'Zi Yue', why are you so nerdy!"
It has a unique flavor when read with the fluent original text.
Liu Yong discovered that although the background of this rewrite was clearly ancient, the wording used was very modern, and most importantly, it did not feel out of place at all.
"It's impossible to get published in People's Literature just by relying on writing skills." Liu Yong thought to himself that literature still needs a core.
The story of Shuangdeng in the original novel is that he had secret meetings with the fox girl every night. Half a year later, when Wei Yunwang was talking to his wife, the fox girl suddenly came to say goodbye, saying that "fate is predetermined."
It is difficult to summarize the story of Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio in one idea. It may be that fate is predestined and has no control over people, or it may be that the fate between husband and wife is the true fate.
The version rewritten on the computer was later modified only slightly, completely changing the core of the story.
First of all, the opening was rewritten to say that Wei Erxiao did not propose marriage because of poverty. Secondly, although the reason why the fox girl left was also "the end of fate", this fate was no longer predestined.
"What is fate?" "Fate is love." "I like you, so I came. I'm beginning to feel that I don't like you that much anymore, so I have to go." "Can you bear it?" "I can't bear to leave you, but I have to go. We are different from you people, and we can't make do with each other."
With just a few small changes, the core of the story has completely changed.
A concise short story.
This is like a mouthful of chili pepper, eating it alone will make you cough and it is hot, but when combined with seasonings, it can be fried to make it delicious.
The condiment is a rewrite of the previous text.
Liu Yong read it again. "Unlike Mr. Lu Xun's New Stories, the changes are very small. The filling descriptions enrich the story. The small changes change the core. It is of great quality!"
I can't wait to start reading the second part, because Ruiyun's story is very long, with two or three times the number of words as Shuangdeng, and the plot is more tortuous, so there can be more changes.
He read Pu Songling's original work first, and then read the rewrite. After reading it, Liu Yong felt disappointed, but he also had to sigh, "Compared with the original work, the ending of this rewrite of "Rui Yun" is really a stroke of genius!"
Both the writing style and the articles have their own value, and Liu Yong passed the test with both articles approved.
"The two articles should be able to pass the final review." Because Liu Yong had a feeling that he wanted more, he wanted to see what other Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio stories could be rewritten into, a feeling that rarely appeared in his reviewing career.
"The author is very familiar with Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio, and has put new wine in old bottles. Ruiyun and Shuangdeng have both injected modern consciousness. This is a great writer."
"Gu Lu - could this Gu Lu be the famous genius writer?" Liu Yong suddenly thought of the author of "The Little Prince".
Of course he was familiar with it. The famous critic Yu Xinyao even reviewed this book in the People's Literature Newspaper, a newspaper affiliated with their magazine.
It was Mr. Yu’s evaluation that prompted Liu Yong to buy this book.
I have to say that "The Little Prince" is very well written. It can be said to be the ceiling of thinking for teenagers. Gu Lu deserves the title of genius.
"Impossible, absolutely impossible. Even if you are a genius, it will take more than ten years to achieve this kind of fluency." Liu Yong had reason to suspect that it was some big shot who was using an alias.
Gu Lu, who was suspected of being a boss in disguise, was in a very miserable state at this moment...
"Can you still move?" Lu Ping looked at Gu Lu who was lying on the ground.
“Rest… I can move after a rest…” Gu Lu felt like his limbs were not his own. The last time he had this feeling was when he hadn’t eaten for four or five days.
Looking around, spring is almost here, and the entire indoor gymnasium is filled with people.
The coach of the basketball club was extremely ruthless today. Except for athletes like Lu Ping, who usually have high intensity training, all the others lay down.
"It's best not to lie down after exercising, just walk around." Lu Ping said.
Bullshit! Gu Lu's body told him that even if he died now, he couldn't move.
More than two minutes later, someone in the basketball club yelled, "The etiquette team is here."
The model etiquette team is basically composed of female students. It’s not that there are no male students who signed up, but most of them were eliminated like Dou Ke...
shhhhh--
Gu Lu didn't know where the strength for his limbs came from, and he bounced up from the ground in an instant.
Not only him, but all the members who were shouting just now stood up. What was the belief that supported them? They couldn't embarrass themselves in front of strange female classmates!
"Gulu, do you want me to help you?" Lu Ping said immediately.
"Do I need it?" Gu Luyi said. He walked a short distance and coughed twice. "Flathead brother, I twisted my ankle while exercising just now. You should help me."
Lu Ping did not expose it and carried Gu Lu to the classroom. The other members did the same.
It is March now and the latest issue of "Science Fiction World" has been released. This issue does not contain Gu Lu's article because this issue has a popular science theme.
Therefore, Gu Lu's contribution to "Rural Teachers" was scheduled for the next issue...
