You think so? Xiao Tong."

Su Tong didn't know how to answer for a while, Lin Chaoyang smiled and said: "Ignore him, this person's main job is to earn money."

While the three of them were joking, a burst of hearty laughter suddenly broke out from the opposite side, attracting the attention of everyone in the conference room.

Everyone looked over and saw a fat man with a round face sitting there with a short-haired lesbian who looked to be in her twenties. They didn't know what joke the fat man told, which made the lesbian tremble.

From the moment he entered the door, Lin Chaoyang noticed the fat little man with a round face. Although he was wearing a military uniform, he still couldn't hide his sullen look because the table sign in front of him said "Wang Shuo".

As for the other lesbian who was teased to the point of ecstasy, she was Lu Ying, a clerk in the literary and art department of the city's propaganda department.

"October" is a magazine owned by Yanjing Publishing House, which is under the responsibility of the Yanjing City Propaganda Department, so it is not surprising that she appeared at the symposium.

Before the symposium begins, it is normal for everyone to chat and greet each other.

However, Wang Shuo and Lu Ying were different between men and women after all, so they acted too casually on such an occasion, which immediately attracted everyone's attention.

The two also realized the problem and stopped joking.

Today's symposium was hosted by "October", and most of the participants were young writers. Compared with the conference organized by the Literary and Art Association, the atmosphere was much more relaxed and pleasant.

In addition to the two future celebrities Wang Shuo and Su Tong, Lin Chaoyang's acquaintances present also included Zhong Acheng and Chen Jiangong. After some greetings, the symposium officially began.

It was said to be a symposium, but in fact it was more like an exchange of creative experiences, a bit similar to a brainstorming session. The meeting started less than half an hour ago and the atmosphere was very lively.

Wang Shuo was a smooth talker and kept talking one after another, becoming the focus of everyone's attention.

He is among the most junior writers among the writers present. He has been in the industry for less than two years and has only published three novels.

According to what he said, he is currently writing a novella, which "should be able to be completed." The so-called "should be able to be completed" naturally means that the novel will achieve a certain response after it is published.

Many people present sneered at his overconfidence. There was no first in literature and no second in military affairs. It was impossible for a group of people who were engaged in literary work to gather together and expect anyone to bow to the other.

The only person present today who can convince the vast majority of people is probably the silent Lin Chaoyang.

They are all young writers, mostly of the same age. Whether it is in terms of richness of works or influence, Lin Chaoyang can crush all the writers present.

The objective facts are here, and it’s useless even if some people are unconvinced.

"...Have you read "God's Error" and "The Turn of the Screw"? I will write a novel with a detective meaning in the future. I have already thought of the name. It will be called "The Independent Man". It would be best if it can

Adapt a TV series."

Wang Shuo introduced his writing plan eloquently, which sounded a bit vague to everyone. He hadn't even finished the novella at hand, so what kind of detective novel was he going to write? It was too out of the ordinary.

However, when Wang Shuo talked about film and television adaptations of literary works, everyone became interested and the discussion became even more heated.

Li Tuo has been doing movie reviews in the past few years, and he also helped Zhang Nuanxin film the movie. He has a lot of say in this aspect and told everyone a lot of interesting things about the movie adaptation.

"Chaoyang, tell everyone about it. You have many adaptations of your works and they are very popular. Please tell everyone about it." After Li Tuo finished speaking, he called on Lin Chaoyang.

Lin Chaoyang looked relaxed, "I mainly write scripts. I don't actually participate much in the production of the film. There are too many things that I can't tell..."

Wang Shuo interrupted at this time: "Comrade Chaoyang, can you tell us about "The Chess Master"? That year, "Eight Hours Beyond" said that you wrote this novel because you couldn't stand the movies produced by Yan Film Studio.

"

The public case between "Chess Master" and Yan Film Studio has been rumored in the Yanjing literary circle for the past few years. During this period, Zhang Manling's "little composition" in "Eight Hours Away" caused a stir.

Many people know the general situation of the incident. Wang Shuo certainly didn't want to talk about things that everyone already knew, but wanted to know more specific details.

Everyone couldn't help but show curiosity when they heard his question.

When it comes to "gossip", the circle of literati has always been unparalleled.

The influence of the novel "The Chess Master" is extraordinary. It won the Mao Dun Literary Award a year after it was published. It was adapted into a movie the year before last and became even more popular.

The most important thing is that the Sino-Japanese Go Tournament last year was very popular, which also made the original novel and movie have national influence.

In March just past, the second China-Japan Go Tournament started again, and it was still very popular and attracted the attention of countless Chinese people.

Lin Chaoyang smiled and waved his hand, "It's all in the past. It was just a small conflict. It was discussed two years ago. It would be unkind for us to bring it up in a private meeting."

Seeing what he said, everyone couldn't help but feel disappointed, but they also recognized Lin Chaoyang's upright way of doing things.

"Since everyone has mentioned "The Master of Chess", let me talk about some of my creative insights and adaptation details at the time.

I think everyone can see when reading the novel that the structure of the novel "The Chess Master" strictly follows the traditional novel creation method to deal with characters and plots..."

The people who came to the symposium today are all young writers, and they all have a certain degree of fame, but they all have a common shortcoming.

That is, almost everyone has no experience in writing novels.

And at this point, Lin Chaoyang was terrifyingly strong.

Since he entered the industry, except for short stories and short stories in the first two years, he has written all novels.

Looking at the contemporary Chinese literary world, excluding those writers of the older generation, no one dares to say that they have more experience in writing novels than Lin Chaoyang.

What's more, it has been almost five years since "Chess Master" was published, and it has already proven its charm and quality with the love of millions of readers.

Nowadays, when people talk about the controversy caused by the publication of the novel, most of them dismiss it.

With such a refined work, what else is worthy of controversy?

Therefore, when Lin Chaoyang seriously shared some of his experiences and insights when creating "The Master of Chess", everyone present fell silent unconsciously and listened to Lin Chaoyang's voice attentively, for fear of missing any details.

The originally lively conference room became silent, with only Lin Chaoyang's voice echoing.

Lin Chaoyang lectured all morning and did not stop until lunch time. Everyone was still interested in listening.

It is true that literary creation is art, but its creation must also follow the most basic laws. Therefore, it is first and foremost a technical activity. What Lin Chaoyang shares with you is the key and tips in this technical activity.

After everyone listened, they all felt that they had benefited a lot.

However, when it comes to creation, it is useless to just listen to it. It needs to be practiced.

During lunch, people still came to Lin Chaoyang from time to time to seek his answers to questions.

During lunch break, Lin Chaoyang finally had fewer people around him, and Ah Cheng came over.

"Chaoyang, thank you." Acheng suddenly said without any clue.

Lin Chaoyang asked: "Thank you for what?"

"Director Xie told me about the script. He asked you to help change a version of the script."

Years later, Xie Jinqiu came to ask Lin Chaoyang to help revise the script of "Furong Town". The filming of the movie has already started in Hunan.

Lin Chaoyang said: "Just don't think too much. The movie will start shooting in half a year, and Lao Xie is a little anxious."

Acheng said with a relaxed expression: "Am I such a ungrateful person? You are also helping me clean up the mess. Director Xie said that you didn't even ask for royalties, and I still have to treat you to a meal."

"Forget it. Let's go to my house for dinner. Several people are going there in the evening." Lin Chaoyang said with a smile.

The two chatted for a while, and Lin Chaoyang saw that Su Tong had been chatting with writers.

He has a baby face, like the New Year painting doll wearing a tiger-headed hat in the New Year paintings. He looks like a big boy. When he told everyone about the draft, everyone was not enthusiastic.

Lin Chaoyang called him over and reminded him: "You are here as an author today. Don't worry about compiling the manuscript. We will talk about it after the meeting."

Only then did Su Tong realize that he was Meng Lang, and nodded sheepishly.

The symposium continued in the afternoon, and someone talked about "The Truman Show."

This novel has caused a lot of controversy in China since it was published last year. When someone mentioned it today, everyone was divided into two groups. It was not because Lin Chaoyang had any reservations about it.

As for everyone's opinions, they are not much different from the previous disputes. The proponents and opponents each hold their own opinions. After talking for a long time, no one can convince the other.

Finally, Li Tuo mentioned what Lin Chaoyang said last year, "Whether "The Truman Show" is good or not, we might as well wait a few years to see."

Then he added, "There was a lot of controversy after the publication of "The Master of Chess". How is it now?"

Those opponents were speechless. Although this was a bit pretentious, it was also true.

Some people are unconvinced and think, just wait a few years and see.

At this time, Tian Geng stood up and changed the subject, asking Lin Chaoyang: "Chaoyang, it's been more than half a year since "The Truman Show" was published. Have you started writing a new work?"

Lin Chaoyang put down the tea cup in his hand, "No, it couldn't be that fast!"

Tian Geng joked: "You are different from others. You cannot be measured by one requirement."

Lin Chaoyang smiled bitterly, "It's not as exaggerated as you said."

"I can't exaggerate as much as you can. A big book like "Enter Guandong" was written in more than half a year.

Your efficiency is probably not as high as that of everyone present together!"

Tian Geng's words surprised many people present. Many of them heard about this for the first time.

I didn’t expect that such a huge masterpiece as "Crossing Guandong" could be written in less than a year.

Tian Geng said that all the people present together were not as efficient as Lin Chaoyang, which was really not an exaggeration.

Let alone more than 600,000 words in half a year, even if the total number of words created by these people in a year is not 600,000 words!

After hearing this, many people's faces were not only surprised, but also a little bit vaguely ashamed.

Even if the quality can't keep up with others, the quantity can't keep up either. It's simply crushing them in all directions!

The symposium is over, but the activities organized by "October" are not over yet.

The nature of this activity is similar to that of a pen meeting. The young writers participating in the meeting all stayed in the guest house arranged by Yanjing Publishing House, two people per room. There will be several days of activities in the next few days.
To be continued...
