Among the many famous alumni, there was a famous writer named "Ouyang" who received a lot of attention.
Ouyang's name was Ouyang, and his surname was Ouyang. However, there were always people who mistakenly thought that his surname was Ouyang and there was a first name behind it.
Ouyang was already in his forties. He was a very famous popular novelist in the field of suspense novels. He came from an ordinary background, and his student days were quite ordinary. After graduating from university, he became an electrical engineer and used his off-duty time to write novels.
At that time, the Internet was not popular enough, and there was no such environment as now where online novels could be freely created. Fortunately, in this world, China, there were still many literary awards. Among them, mystery novels sold better, so the prize money was also relatively high. Many publishing houses were also willing to publish such novels, after all, they sold well.
Ouyang spent a whole five years submitting to a well-known newcomer award in the field of suspense novels. Finally, at the age of 29, he won the award with his novel "The Prisoner". Then, he successfully debuted and began his novel writing career.
However, his professional path as a writer was not popular. For a whole ten years, his works did not sell well, and he could only barely make ends meet. At one time, he felt very confused, and doubted whether he was suitable to write novels …
Because his suspense novels were not full of doubts, all kinds of twists, and exquisite arrangements. He only used the theme of suspense novels to express what he really wanted to express. It could also be said that he was writing about human nature.
Obviously, he was not a pure literary writer, but he especially liked to portray characters, describe intense human conflicts, and strive to write the kind of shock that would make the reader's scalp tingle …
Ouyang failed for a whole ten years, and finally, with the best-selling of "Winter's Journey", he became famous. This also led to the sales of his previous novels, and his royalties skyrocketed. Later, several of his novels continued to sell well, and they were adapted into movies that sold well. Then, he became a real famous writer. Now, as long as he wrote a new book, even if it was just a title, many film companies would be willing to bet on its sales.
This was Ouyang, a very ordinary creator, but with his persistence for more than ten years, he became a famous writer. On last year's rich list of writers, he was ranked third with more than 30 million in royalties.
Of course, his income could not be compared to those web novelists, but his status in the literary world was not comparable to that of young web novelists. He was one of the few traditional writers who thought that web novels were very interesting. He even said that he liked to read them.
Therefore, Ou Yang's reputation in the online novel circle was very good. When he gave lectures to those online writers at Lu Xun College of Literature, they respected him from the bottom of their hearts.
However, most traditional writers still looked down on online writers, and the online writers, of course, looked down on traditional writers. Because the sales of physical books were too low, most traditional writers relied on state subsidies to make a living, and they had other jobs.
Take Zhao Youyue's mother, Wang Hua, for example. She was such a traditional writer, but she was too embarrassed to talk about her income …
Ou Yang was an alumnus of this high school. Back then, he was a nobody in high school. He even remembered being scolded by his class teacher for secretly writing novels in class. He said that writing novels could not achieve anything, and that getting into a good university, getting a diploma, and finding a good job was the right thing to do.
Ou Yang did not go against the teacher, nor did he give up on his literary dream. When he met the white-haired old homeroom teacher again today, the old homeroom teacher had already forgotten about this matter. Instead, he kept praising Ou Yang for being the most accomplished person in class.
Many students also surrounded him, complimenting him in all sorts of ways. Obviously, these people who came to attend the school anniversary were all successful people, but compared to a great writer like him, they seemed to have lost their dignity.
Of course, this feeling was very satisfying. Ou Yang was just a passerby in the past, but now, he had become the main character. He had even given a speech in front of all the teachers and students in school, and was the center of attention.
The fate of life was really unpredictable, which made Ouyang feel very emotional.
In fact, he did not think that he was talented in writing. His words were very simple, and he would never show off his writing style. However, his books were said to have a kind of power that pierced through people's hearts.
He did not have much experience in writing to share. He had only decided to spend the rest of his life writing when he was in high school.
If writing could support him, of course, it would be great. If not, then he would work and write at the same time.
He was still single, and he did not have a lover. Words were his wife, his lover. It was enough to have words to accompany him.
Ou Yang sat in the audience seat, and a myriad of thoughts ran through his mind. He felt like he had returned to his high school days, except that this New Year's Eve party was much grander than it was back then.
When he saw the male and female hosts appear on the stage, hosting the party without emotion, he was no different from the rest of the male compatriots. Their eyes were all attracted by the female host with long hair.
This was because the long-haired Zhao Youyue with makeup was just too beautiful!
She had even put on an extremely gorgeous gown. At first, the school wanted to rent it, but Zhao Youyue did not like the idea of renting a gown. It was not like she did not have one herself. Therefore, she brought her own dry food and even did her own makeup. Similarly, the makeup artist hired by the school was too unprofessional. The more she put on, the uglier she looked.
Zhao Youyue was obsessed with appearances. She could not bear to have a single flaw on this grand stage. If everything went according to plan, this would be the place where she could make her presence felt the most in her high school life
From a passerby to a main character, today was the day!
Zhao Youyue, who appeared on the stage in a gorgeous gown, had undoubtedly become the focus of the audience. She did not care about the feelings of her partner, Huang Zongchao. In fact, when Huang Zongchao saw Zhao Youyue with her full charm, he could only worship her. He was very honored to be the partner of Lady Zhao on this stage. Many boys would be envious of him, but they were not qualified to stand beside her at all.
When Ou Yang came back to his senses, the first performance had already started on the stage. However, he felt that this performance was boring. It would have been better to let the female host continue speaking.
A young and beautiful female high school student was amazing. Looking at her made him feel young again.
For the first time, Ou Yang felt regret. It was as if he had missed out on his youth because of words. However, when he tried hard to recall, he realized that it was not his fault. It was because this high school did not have such a gorgeous and dazzling female lead.
