I am really a language teacher

Chapter 105: Quietly Becoming Popular

In addition to continuing to send several excellent manuscripts to the "Mother Tongue" magazine, Sun Ping also sent several excellent but not representative manuscripts to the local "Jiangnan Literature and Art" and "Furong" in Jiangnan Province. past.The reason why "Xingzi Tantou" was not chosen was because "Xingzi Tantou" was a pioneering and experimental literary magazine, and Sun Ping's manuscripts were relatively traditional, so it might not have caught the editor's eye.

And "Jiangnan Literature and Art" is the journal of the Jiangnan Provincial Writers Association, and its taste is basically similar to "Mother Tongue", so Sun Ping is not worried about being rejected.As for "Furong", it is the oldest literary magazine in Jiangnan Province, not only attracting attention in Jiangnan Province, but also a well-known serious novel magazine in China.

Perhaps Sun Ping was so busy with his teaching tasks that he didn't realize the attitude of the serious literary circle towards him.But if you are a full-time author, you have already seen that this newcomer named Sun Ping reached the top almost overnight, and then became the most concerned newcomer author in the first half of the year.Especially the editors of "Mother Tongue" magazine unanimously praised Sun Ping, causing other literary magazines to follow up and report.In Cathay, writers and teachers are quite separate professions.

Especially writers, they enjoy the treatment of popular idols, but no magazine dares to discredit them.Because the authors are a very close circle, if any magazine dares to discredit a certain author, once other authors boycott the magazine or its superior publishing group, then the publishing group may not be able to get along.

Although the sales volume of serious literature is not as good as that of popular literature, it is a status symbol of a publishing group.Once serious domestic authors refuse to submit articles to a certain magazine, it is not something that can be settled by the resignation of the editor-in-chief. Maybe even the president of the publishing group will take the blame and resign to appease the anger of the authors.

Moreover, ordinary people have a high tolerance for authors. Whenever the authors do something out of the ordinary, ordinary people always feel that the author, a genius, may do something different from himself.

Sun Ping voted for "Mother Tongue" two realistic love novels "Yushima 诗" and "Surgical Room" and a critical realism novel "Night Patrolman" that shows the life of the people at the bottom of the old society.In terms of ideology, these two novels are naturally not comparable to "In the Grass" and "Rashomon".But in terms of the maturity of the novels, these three novels are far better than Sun Ping's famous work in "Mother Tongue".

As Sun Ping's exclusive editor, Lin Jiajun immediately forwarded the emails to his supervisor Yu Baoyan after receiving the three short stories in his mailbox.After Yu Baoyan finished reading these three novels, on the one hand, he forwarded the novels to the editor-in-chief Huang Jun, and on the other hand, he also made an appointment for an interview with Huang Jun.

"Old Huang, what do you think of the three novels submitted by Sun Ping this time?" Although he is the editor-in-chief of the fiction department, Yu Baoyan still respects Huang Jun's opinion very much.Although Huang Jun's critic is more famous than the novelist, Yu Baoyan knows very well that this person in front of him is a master who is proficient in the three schools of novel styles of the East, the West, and the local.

"It's still in the style of oriental novels, but it's not as critical." Huang Jun has naturally read Sun Ping's novels. "The novel "Surgery Room" is probably the worst of the three novels. If it wasn't for some discussions about the concept of marriage, it would be almost no different from ordinary romance novels. But that's the case, this novel Still limited in style, I suggest you forward this novel to our supplement.

You also know that since the beginning of the year, the group has been hoping that we will make some internal adjustments.In the beginning of the year, we created three supplements for popular novels, "Jingjing Campus", "Rose Monthly" and "Legendary Fiction".In addition, at the end of the year, "Mother Tongue" will be changed to a monthly magazine, and the original literature and art section will be reorganized into two magazines, "Literary Review" and "Aurora Literature and Art".At that time, we will have six magazines in our hands to be responsible for.In addition to "Mother Tongue", your fiction department will also be responsible for the fiction sections of the three popular fiction magazines.

As for Sun Ping's other two novels, although the story of "Night Patrol" is somewhat simple, it still has enough attention and sympathy for the people at the bottom of the old society.There is no problem with publishing in "Mother Tongue", but no special recommendation is required.On the contrary, this "Yushima 诗" is very interesting. Although it is a story that happened in Dongying, the tendency of aestheticism is very obvious.You also know that our country has always emphasized realism over romanticism, and all novels must have a narrative style.As a branch of romanticism, aestheticism is easy to be written in a somewhat small style.

Although "Yushima 诣" seems to be a love story, the description of social life at that time and the criticism of the secular restrictions on love give the novel a certain flavor of critical realism.This novel is somewhat similar to one of our classical plays, "Du Shiniang".It's just that the heroine is not as tough as Du Shiniang, and the hero is not a person who always gives up.This novel can be published, and I recommend it appropriately. "In addition to "Mother Tongue" discussing Sun Ping's new novel, the same thing is happening in the editorial departments of "Jiangnan Literature and Art" and "Furong". The novel received by "Jiangnan Literature and Art" is "Five Leaf Ruo" and "Before and After the Meiyu". "Five Leaf Ruo" is a short story, which is still the story of a geisha in Dongying country; while "Before and After the Meiyu" is a novella, the story takes place in a small city, The heroine is a practitioner in a special service industry.

The writing styles of the two novels amazed everyone in the editorial department, but the editor-in-chief was a little hesitant due to the sensitive subject matter.But fortunately, Sun Ping's novels are not famous for their beauty. Although the heroine has a special occupation, the words and sentences are quite peaceful, without excessive words.

And "Furong" received three novels by Sun Ping, "Tattoo", "Kirin" and "Chunqin Copy".The style is still the romantic style of aestheticism, especially "Kirin" is a historical fact changed from the Kingdom of Cathay.It's just that under the aesthetic style of these three novels, decadentism and self-abuse tendencies are quite serious.Fortunately, the editorial department of "Furong" liked this style, so the three novels were published at one time, and they were strongly recommended by the editor.

Sun Ping received samples of "Mother Tongue", "Rose Monthly", "Jiangnan Literature and Art" and "Furong" almost at the same time.When the mailroom handed over the four emails from the editorial department to Sun Ping, there was a hint of flattery in their tone.Being a teacher is a highly respected profession, and a teacher who is a serious literary writer is even more respected.

According to the general opinion, although a young literary writer like Sun Ping cannot become a university professor, it is more than enough to become a university lecturer. Even if he goes to some second- and third-rate universities to give lectures, there is no problem.But such a strange person is just a Chinese teacher in a high school, and this high school is not even considered a city key point.In fact, not only the people in the mail room were struggling with this matter, but also inside the Fourth Middle School, it was difficult to handle it.

You know, after "In the Jungle" and "Rashomon" became famous, Qingfeng No. [-] Middle School called to ask if Sun Ping could be transferred to their school to teach.The reason there is also very good. We are the alma mater of Mr. Sun Ping. Isn't it a matter of course for Mr. Sun Ping to return to his alma mater to teach?However, everyone knows the private reasons. If a young novelist who is about to become famous only teaches for a year or two at Qingfeng No. [-] Middle School, how important is that to the improvement of the school's status?

So without waiting for the No. [-] Middle School's Chinese teaching and research group to make a report, the school board immediately promoted Sun Ping's salary to a senior teacher.Although Sun Ping has not yet obtained the qualification of a senior teacher, but with his current speed of fame, it is only a matter of time.

"I'm envious of a pen like yours, which is much better than ours." Looking at Sun Ping, Jian Jingya couldn't help being a little jealous even as a mentor. "You said you'd better be your youth novel writer, but you came to teach in an unknown high school of ours. You still teach well, and you always get the first grade in a single subject in the whole year, and you can publish nationally famous novels in educational magazines. A teaching paper that I agree with. When I was free from teaching and teaching, I started a media company, and finally got a lot of money after being acquired. I said, Mr. Sun, I heard that you have now opened a film and television production company and plan to shoot idol dramas. "

"Teacher Jian really pays attention to me." Sun Ping was a little ashamed.After all, the person in front of him is his mentor, so he can't be neglected.

"Okay, I'm just here to chat with you, don't be so nervous." Jian Jingya was actually entrusted by the school to keep Sun Ping in No. [-] Middle School no matter what.Unless the university came to recruit Sun Ping, otherwise Sun Ping's career as a high school teacher could only be in the fourth middle school.You know, the school has temporarily replaced Sun Ping's publicity strategy for the next semester.

And according to the opinion of the school board, the future No. [-] Middle School will be a high school that focuses on liberal arts, with equal emphasis on sports and art.After all, the education circle is now talking about a "Renaissance", but mathematics, physics and chemistry are still the most important subjects.At least eight of the ten universities focus on science and engineering, the remaining two are mainly medical or business, and almost all the schools that focus on liberal arts are normal colleges.But fortunately, people in the world also despise liberal arts, so most liberal arts majors are "second-round students" who were not selected for science and engineering, or even business and medicine.

Therefore, the Fourth Middle School intends to focus on cultivating outstanding liberal arts students to occupy this part of resources, and then use a small but refined route.Jian Jingya heard that the ratio of general high school students and specialty high school students in Future No. [-] Middle School is half to half.Sports students, music students, and art students will expand the enrollment scale, after all, the No. [-] Middle School still has a foundation in this area; as for non-specialized students, the ratio of liberal arts to science and engineering will be two to one.

Most importantly, next year's No. 30 Middle School will adopt a small class system, and the size of each class will be controlled between 35 and [-] students.We do not expand enrollment nor recruit extra-plan students and day students, in order to hide our strengths and bide our time for three years, and finally accumulate a lot of money and send it out once.

After Jian Jingya finished talking about these policies, "The school means that next year you can stay in the regular class, and you can go to the special class. What's your opinion?"

Although Sun Ping's teacher qualification certificate is universal, he knew that specialty classes should focus on specialties, so he said: "I will continue to stay in the ordinary class, but I hope my class will be a liberal arts class in the future." .”

"I understand what you mean." Jian Jingya nodded.
