After dreaming of getting rich, I dressed up as a collapsed idol

Chapter 409

Lu Qingfeng knew about the science fiction writer Liu Cixin because of the movie "The Wandering Earth", so he looked for the novel of the same name online.

The novel is actually not very long, but it still took him a long time to finish it as he read it in fits and starts.

Later, I thought about finding and reading other works by the author, but ultimately failed to do so.

Until I traveled to this world, I read all these articles in the knowledge base of the Nine-Tailed Fox for writing needs.

As a person born in the 1960s, Liu Cixin started writing science fiction novels very early, probably in high school, and stopped writing for a while.

He started writing again in the 1980s and completed two novels during this period. At this time, he was still in a silent state.

It was not until the late 1990s that he began to publish his works in the magazine "Science Fiction World". His creative inspiration reached an explosive period, his writing style and story structure became more and more mature, and he could come up with all kinds of stories with ease.

"Take Her Eyes" and "Rural Teacher" are both works from this period.

Later, these two short stories were published as a collection in 15 along with other works by Liu Cixin.

The two short stories, "Put Her Eyes on," are less than 10,000 words long, and Hou Xiaobing and his team finished reading them quickly.

One thought comforts me: no matter where I go, I will never be far away from her.

"What a cruel romance."

After reading the last paragraph, Hou Xiaobing said subconsciously.

“It makes me feel so uncomfortable watching it.”

Lu Hui sat up straight and moved his hands and feet.

"While watching, I thought about the scenes described in the story: I was alone, trapped in a small space, constantly sinking deeper into the Earth. This time would last for decades until I died. The thought of it made me shudder and feel extremely desperate."

Liu Xin said.

Lu Hui probably imagined this scene as he spoke, and he shuddered and rubbed his arms.

“Why didn’t you write a better ending?”

he muttered.

Lu Qingfeng just smiled and added water to everyone's cups.

In the past, he didn't think there was anything wrong with Lu Hui's ideas, but as his studies and reading at Peking University increased, he gained a deeper understanding of literary creation.

All artistic creations follow a principle and unity of purpose.

Even if the author has a reversal as the creative idea from the beginning, he must have done a lot of preparation in the early stage, otherwise it would not be called a reversal, but a bad ending.

The transformation and ending of each character have been foreshadowed and outlined in the previous text, which corresponds to the development of the story.

"Take Her Eyes" is like this. The first half of the article uses words to silently portray the girl.

When the protagonist first came to the grassland and saw the flowers with her glasses on, she told him not to pick the flowers, saying that the fragrance of the flowers was like a serenade.

Give a name to every flower, feel every unexpected breeze; watch the sunset on the grassland, and say that the forest at night is like the most beautiful symphony in the universe.

While looking at the moon, humming Debussy's "Moonlight"

All these descriptions correspond to the protagonist, who is numb to daily life, and also indirectly describe the girl as a person who loves life and turns her life into poetry.

She is kind and sensitive, loves music, and has a fairy-tale-like pure quality. Such a character contrasts extremely with the despair behind her, isolated deep in the earth's core, wrapped in matter thousands of kilometers thick.

It is also when readers read these words that they feel the extreme emotional tension and use it to convey the author's thoughts.

And at the end, the girl sent her last message to the surface.

Despite facing such a difficult situation, they still intend to complete the research mission as planned, hoping that many years later, humans will be able to enter the inner world of the Earth, dock with Sunset Six, and find the data it left behind.

[…Please rest assured, I will arrange my life well. I've adapted to this place and no longer feel cramped or isolated. The whole world revolves around me…]

This cruelty also highlights the girl's tenacity of humanity.

In the face of eternal darkness and loneliness, use your greatest enthusiasm to feel the beauty of this world.

This is also the reason why Hou Xiaobing couldn't help but sigh at the cruel romance after reading this story.

At this point, the early description and the preparation for the final response are completed.

"I remember that variety show you participated in, where they asked you to experience going out as a blind person. Was this the inspiration for this?"

Hou Xiaobing asked at this time.

Lu Qingfeng nodded with a smile.

The reason I brought up these two stories is indeed because of my previous variety show experience, and there is nothing wrong with saying that.

"By the way, what's at the center of the Earth?"

Teacher Chen was still reading another article, and a few people were whispering about irrelevant things.

"Who knows? Humans still know very little about this place, and some even believe it's completely hollow."

Lu Qingfeng shrugged.

"You could write a novel on this topic."

Liu Xin said excitedly.

"good idea."

Lu Qingfeng nodded. There were indeed quite a few science fiction novels about the center of the earth.

The most classic one is Jules Verne's "Journey to the Center of the Earth". Unfortunately, this author did exist, but his works were adapted into movies.

After drinking tea and chatting for about half an hour, Teacher Chen also finished reading "Rural Teacher"

He breathed a sigh of relief, closed the manuscript, and thought for a while before coming to his senses and returning the manuscript paper.

"What do you think, teacher?"

Teacher Chen smiled.

"I feel like, through your book, I suddenly understand what it means to be a teacher."

"How could that be? I went to a rural school a while ago and was deeply moved by the teachers who supported the education there. I thought of you at that time, so I wrote this story."

Lu Qingfeng said solemnly.

"Xiao Lu, why didn't I realize you were so good at confusing people before? Okay, okay, I get it. Don't look at me like that."

"I can't keep up with your writing style and conception, and there's nothing much I can teach you. I just noticed a few typos and inappropriate word choices. I'll underline them for you later."

"Then I'm sorry to bother you, teacher."

Teacher Chen was very pleased and felt that although his students had become successful, he could still play a role.

"There is another one, teacher, please give me some guidance as well."

Lu Qingfeng handed over the copy of "Take Her Eyes" that Hou Xiaobing and the others had finished reading, and gave "Rural Teacher" to the three curious people.

"I'm not going to read it anymore. I'm not going to read it anymore. I feel bad after reading your article. I just heard some of your conversation. If I keep reading, I'm afraid I won't even feel like cooking."

"I'll look for it after it's published. It's getting late. You guys sit down for a while while I go make dinner."

Teacher Chen smiled and refused.

Lu Qingfeng did not force it. After a while, Teacher Chen's lover came back.

After a lively meal, we said goodbye and left.
