At that time, "Harvard Girl Liu Yiting" was a fire out of the circle.

From the publisher of "Wedding Dress for others" to the writer who wrote books by himself, Yang Kwai's transformation was almost seamless. When many people are still lamenting how the "Harvard Girl Liu Yiting" was planned by Yang Kwai's phenomenon -level best -selling book, in a blink of an eye, he has written more articles to choose from: about 2 million words of articles, published 9 types of 9 types, published 9 types of 9 types, published 9 kinds Collection. In June 2022, Yang Kui selected 400,000 words from the 2 million characters he wrote (about 80,000 words were written in the past two years, and have not been collected before). "Zai Rong", "Jingwang Dongxuan", "Wish Word"), was launched by writer publishing house.

Yang Kwai (I have a picture of myself)

Yang Kwai was born in a literary family. His father Yang Li was a college student in Southwest United. He was one of the earliest members of the Chinese Writers Association. Yang Kwai was born in Jiangsu in 1968 and moved to Beijing with his parents in 1979. In the family members of the Chinese Writers Association, he was dazed and saw many people and things in the literary circle. After graduating from the Chinese Department of the Beijing Normal University, Yang Kwai entered the work of writer publishing house and worked for many years. This made him contact and met many famous writers or unknown authors. Therefore, ordinary readers may not have a chance to know the literary and literati, but they can read it in the book of Yang Kwai. In the relaxed and transparent text, the characters are in the shape of the characters. From "Bubai Sun Li", "Three Say Acheng" to Haiyan and Annie, in Yang Kwai's writing, you can see that they do not have the precious details of "appearance" in the book.

In addition, Yang Kwai not only pays attention to literati and celebrities, but also ordinary mortals in all walks of life in daily life will also appear in his pen, or have deep affection or deeper words, showing complexity and polymorphism of human nature and polymorphism of life and life. Essence Yang Kwai's text style is simple and easy to read. As early as 1992, Yang Kwai edited at the writer's publishing house and compiled a book called "Jaipingwa Self -Selected Collection". This set of books later triggered a wave of collections of young and middle -aged writers. After 30 years, Wen Ji Hot has already calmed down, and Yang Kwai's own selection set was published in the writer's publishing house.

Write and write, nothing more than three things you want to say: common sense, logic and love

The title of the three books selected from Yang Kwai's ancient poems -Tao Yuanming's "Port" of Tao Yuanming: "The tree of the East Garden, the branches are honored". The articles in this volume are all about the life of life. The daily life of Chai Mi oil salt is just like leafy. "Jingwai Dongxuan" is alone in the east hut. This volume of articles are related to literature, reading, and writing. "Wishes to talk about people" and miss the meaning of relatives and friends. This volume of articles are writing people, unfamiliar familiar people, familiar strangers.

The moment Yang Kwai finished his manuscript, it was early morning. Yang Kwai, who lives in the mountains, is in the quiet wind and crisp bird's cry, and moves along the hillside alone outdoors. He retreated to the articles written for more than 30 years and did it for himself. Summary -nothing but three things: live, reading and writing, all kinds of people. Writing and writing, there are three things that you want to say: common sense, logic and love. "It seems extremely simple, but the most difficult." He wrote.

In early July 2022, while Yang Kwai's three -volume selected collection was published, the cover news interviewed Yang Kwai, from publishing to creative experience, and the impact of reading media, etc., please talk about his own publishing industry that he is involved and observed deeply. Evolution in recent years. Yang Kwai's sharing is very detailed and insightful.

Dialogue Yang Kwai:

"The key to reading is not whether the medium is paper or electronics, but at attention"

Cover news: I saw such an introduction about you: "In the publishing circle in China, Yang Kwai is a well -known 'eye poison'. It is only small. Some of the surplus and some popularity. "For example," Harvard Girl Liu Yiting "has a great influence. Now there are still people inquiring that Liu Yiting's later life is where he is. In addition to some accidental and objective factors, what perspectives do you generally predict that a book will be sold well?

Yang Kwai: There are about two types of best -selling books. One is that anyone can see that anyone can see it well. For example, the books of Mo Yan and Yu Hua now have good sales. Needless to say, it is the author's accumulation for many years, and it has formed a consensus from readers. I care about this best -selling book. The characteristics of this book are how to grab the manuscript. Another best -selling book is a hidden best -selling book, that is, the vast majority of people do not think it will sell well, but through a series of efforts of publishers, they finally become best -selling books.

To say the judgment angle, it must be multi -dimensional, complicated, unclear, and often intuition. But behind this intuition, there must be the elements of hard work, vision, and execution. It can only be said here. Regarding the words you cited, I think it is the reader's killing of me, so you don't have to take it seriously. According to what I see, most super best -selling books have not foreseeed such a large sales when they are selected. Don't believe it. But then again, it is still that -to do what you should do.

Cover news: For a long time before, publishing a book often greatly affects a person's destiny. Have you ever encountered some people who are infatuated and persistently paranoid about literature, love literature writing, but inadequate talent and aura? How do you generally persuade each other? Yang Kwai: You are talking about this kind of person, which is quite a lot two or thirty years ago. It has been less than these years. I do n’t know if I have n’t been able to encounter such a person as I have left the publisher. Paranoid literary enthusiasts are not enough talent and aura. Those who are really talented and aura, the vast majority will not be so paranoid, they will achieve small achievements. After all, the level of contemporary literature is limited, and it is relatively easy to achieve. I will not advise when I meet such a person. Everyone's life is going to experience themselves, and they are adults. He will have his choice, and others are annoying.

Cover news: Being a book editor, you have dealt with many authors closely. Master a lot of literary circles and familiar with literati. As far as your feelings are concerned, is there a overall common characteristic of the group of literati? For example, some "literati are light" that the world often says, and the literati is generally easy to be sensitive and fragile?

Yang Kwai: The literati is light and sensitive and fragile. It seems to have a little bit, but I think in China, at least among the people I deal with. This is not the characteristics of the writer. There are such people in each field. In the contemporary Chinese writers, there are not many pure professional writers. Most people still have a unit and salary. From this perspective, it is difficult to just pick up the writers from the crowd.

"Editing a writer's manuscript for a long time, when I write an article by myself, I will find the shadow of the writer."

Cover news: As a senior editor, you have been a wedding dress for others for many years. In recent years, you have written more and more. How does the conversion between the author and the editor feel?

Yang Kwai: I have always called myself "amateur writing". At first, I wrote to be a better editor. If I did not have writing experience, it was difficult to enter the micro -editing manuscript meticulous. Having resigned from public office in 2003, it is actually even less written. However, in this set of "Self -Selected Collection", most of the articles were written after 2003. The income from the early years was rarely income- "Regretting less work" is probably the common characteristics of each writer. People who are editors are easy to be afraid of wolves and tigers, and they are particularly cautious. Generally, the writer's writing article may be written after writing. We have edited them, and we have changed it over and over again. By the way, when editing this set of self -selected sets, most of the articles have been adjusted by some words, so it may be the same as what the reader saw before. People who are editors have this hair disease. When they see the manuscript, they want to change, so that all the words and sentences are more accurate, more smooth, and sometimes even more abundant in the rhyme, and they will change the order of words, and so on. I personally think that this is not a good habit. Writing should be more energetic. Pay attention to greater content issues. It should not be careless, but there is no way. Editor's origin has led to this hair disease. It is now much better.

Cover news: In addition to writing some celebrities, you also wrote a lot of ordinary people. The description of them is also very exciting. What kind of opportunity is you writing such a series of articles about ordinary people?

Yang Kwai: I have summarized it, I have written nothing three parts: live, reading and writing, and all kinds of people. Writing is just part of my writing. Readers may be divided into celebrities and ordinary people. They are some of my lives in my life. There are no differences in celebrities and ordinary people at all. I am concerned about his life process, joy and sorrow, personality characteristics, and chai oil and salt. It doesn't matter if he has any name at all.

Cover news: As an editor, you must have read a lot of works and communicate with different text masters. What impact does this deep experience have on your own writing? What are the people who have a greater influence on your own writing?

Yang Kwai: I once wrote an article saying that the manuscript of a writer has been for a long time. I unconsciously write an article and find out the shadow of the writer. For example, I have been compiling six volumes of "Wang Anyi Self -selected" for a year. In that time, there will often be some sentences and tones that make me very strange. One year, several Acheng was compiled, and the article was "running" for a while. In my opinion, this is a good thing, which is equivalent to the copy of calligraphy and painting. No matter how good the calligraphers and painters are, they will often copy their predecessors, not to mention that I am like a lack of talent.

Small videos are also a kind of "publishing"

Cover news: Teacher Yang worked at the Writers Press at the end of 20th century. In 2004, he participated in the establishment of a private book distribution company to have direct and in -depth experience and observation of the publishing industry. As the participants and witnesses of the best -selling books in the Century, how does the publishing industry have appeared significantly and important in recent years? It is not difficult to find that compared with 20 years ago, there are few super -selling books that have been discussed in the whole society. For example, Yu Qiuyu's "Cultural Bitter Travel", Han Han's "Three Gates", and "Harvard Girl Liu Yiting" edited by you. How do you analyze and treat this situation? Is this related to the reading of readers into different fun?

Yang Kwai: The Wanwei.com, which is inseparable from contemporary people for a moment, has only been born to the present, but it is only 33 years. The Internet has changed the world, and of course, the publishing industry has also been floating in this round of tide, which is not the same as before. However, there is another saying called "change from the ancestors". This "sect" is "spreading" -writing was only one of the form of communication that year, and today. In addition to publishing, there are many other forms of communication. There are indeed few books that cause discussions in the whole society, but other forms of publishing, such as small videos, frequently aroused heated discussions, and cost hundreds of millions of dollars and billions of billions. In my opinion, small videos are also a "publishing". Each small video can actually be regarded as a book. If the coordinate ruler is very small, the publication of small videos and traditional books is very different; the coordinate ruler is enlarged and inspected at a higher angle, there is almost no difference between the two, both spread. Just like the ancient times and operas were the main means of communication; modern society is what we call the "traditional" publishing industry now; and the contemporary is based on some forms of the Internet. In the final analysis, the relationship between content and form, whether it is a line -up book, a modern book, or a small video, the content of the spread is those, and the form of communication is constantly changing. As for the fun of readers, it is another huge topic. Some experts have statistics that the information received by everyone in the Internet era was received by people in the past for a few lives. If there are more choices, it will naturally disperse, which is also reasonable. This objectively put forward new requirements for the publishing people: more refined, but our traditional publishing industry can not see more and more refined trends. Cover news: In the article of Zhang Lixian, the founder of "Reading the Library", you often appear. The "Reading Library" model has always attracted much attention and has become a phenomenon. Although there are very few super -selling books now, books like "Reading" can stabilize some readers with literary and artistic feelings, and they can also survive well. From the perspective of publishing, how do you think of the phenomenon of "reading library"?

Yang Kwai: I have also had a best -selling book in reading the library, but when I understand, they are just doing what they should do and what they want to do. Best selling is naturally produced under such an attitude. Reading the library is a rare stream in contemporary publishing. They do things and be honest, and do not bare the wind direction for the southeast and northwest. One more thing: This should be the default value of editing and publishing, and now it has become a ceiling. It can be seen that the publishing industry has changed these years.

Cover news: In recent years, Internet social networking sites, video websites, and epidemic have brought great changes in people's lifestyle and entertainment methods. Many people's attention decreases significantly. In this case, what are the unspeakable qualities do you think of excellent text? What kind of reading suggestions do you have to read?

Yang Kwai: You are very right. The key is not whether the medium is paper or electronics. The key lies in attention. Add one point: there is also a state of intention. I have never objected to reading e -books and shopping on the website. I have never been a fan of paper books. I think the media is just a form. The key is that the content is not the same as Tolstoy and the paper book Tolstai. However, it is difficult to stare at a thing for a long time, and often go around the Java country without consciousness, and then suddenly wake up. This behavior brings people's uncertainty, jump around, and it is not good to be in the heart.
