Cherry interview: Every woman favored by time shines.

Here, we should pay attention to guest cherry:

Cherry: an instant resident writer. He once served as the executive editor of the magazine and published many translated works, which were scattered in magazines such as Reader, Love You and Yilin. Many translated works were included in the American volume of Yilin Inspirational Hall, and participated in seven collections, such as As long as you are on the road, there is no distance you can't reach. The translations of The Wizard of Oz, Alice in Wonderland and Doctor Strange Doolittle will be published soon, and the personal collection Being a Woman Favored by the Times is selling well.

Interviewer: First of all, please introduce the origin of pen names. Everyone thinks the pen name "Cherry" is very cute. Please tell us about it.

Cherry: Well, my English name is Cherry. My first boss was a Hong Kong man who grew up in Australia. He is very interesting. At that time, all Hong Kong people spoke Hong Kong dialect, only he spoke Mandarin, and he spoke Mandarin very well. At that time, when he communicated with us, he used Mandarin.

Hong Kong people like to use English names when greeting each other. At that time, all the communication with us was in Mandarin. But every time my boss calls me, he doesn't use English name or Mandarin. He always calls me "cherry" in Cantonese.

At that time, the office was full of large flat cabinets, and then, his office at that time. This is one of those big flat cubicles. At that time, many departments were concentrated together. He is still standing on the stairs, far from my cubicle, shouting: cherry, cherry. ...

As the novel says, hear the sound first and then see the sound. I really didn't see him. Let's hear his voice first.

Later, my colleagues followed his example and called me "Cherry Cherry …", and then "Cherry Cherry" became my address.

Many people say this title is very good. It's funny to shout it out with emotion. I have nothing to refute.

When I started writing, I thought of using a pseudonym to compare a bunch of stupid Mary Sue names. Sometimes I can't say it myself, but I feel that the name Cherry sounds very happy, and it seems to be a very free name. Considering that I am not young, in order to prevent myself from going astray in respecting the elderly, I changed my name to be more normal, called "Cherry".

Interviewer: It turns out that such a lovely pen name has such an interesting story.

Cherry: Let everyone laugh.

Interviewer: We found that Mr. Cherry's writing experience is very rich. Before, I edited magazines and wrote some beautiful articles. I want to interview Mr. Cherry. What is your initial intention in writing?

Cherry: As for me, I can't stand loneliness very much. I usually talk a lot. Sometimes I can sit down with a person and talk all day. Later, I got married and met a gentleman. I don't like talking very much, and I'm usually quiet. No matter what you say. He always talks in a few words, so I'll call you back. For example, ask him what he had for lunch, and he said he had dinner. Where are we going? Outside. Ask him when he will come back later. Otherwise, I really vomited blood.

Although a little exaggerated, this kind of dialogue is really common in our daily life.

Sometimes, several times, I tell him how much my husband and wife talk a week. Once, I counted with her for a week, and it seemed that there were no more than eleven sentences, including greetings such as good morning and coming back. So for a person who can't stand loneliness and usually talks a lot, I really want to die. Later, I thought of writing and wrote them all down.

Interviewer: It turns out that you are such an interesting person in your life, so did anything interesting happen when you were writing the book Being a Woman Favored by Time?

Cherry: Haha, do you think it's interesting to write with my background? It's a good thing that I didn't suffocate myself. It was an accident. Actually, when I first started writing, I was full of shit. I am super diligent every day, typing in front of the computer with my mouth closed. You can't say a few words if you knock all day. What about profit time? Friends often call. When they call, they ask you why you always look like you just woke up every time I call you. I don't think so. I worked so hard every day that I was beaten with chicken blood. How can I not sleep? It turned out that it was the sound.

At that time, because I was typing all day, I didn't tell anyone anything. My voice has never been moistened, so it is that kind of sand when I open my mouth.

So no wonder he said that I always look like the one who just woke up. It starts to get messy when I think about it.

When people are in chaos, everything is crooked. Even when I saw the title of the book, I thought it was ironic.

I am also a woman who needs time to spoil.

Walking on the road one day, a bearded middle-aged uncle asked me for directions. The first thing he said was, "This elder sister ..."

I jumped up at once: what elder sister? Beauty, beauty, understand?

Uncle was shocked at that time.

The gentleman on the side helped the circus and said, you should be talking about the beauty favored by time.

Uncle has a blank face.

Mr. Wang winked at me and said, am I right?

Only then did I know that I was really spoiled.

I'll code later, and I'll be much calmer no matter whether anyone talks or not one day.

So I think, code word is actually a process of learning and being alone. Although this process will be very difficult, sometimes accompanied by pain and repetition, but the harvest is still quite a lot.

Reporter: Yes, argot is a good way for us writers to express our inner feelings. Although the process of codeword will be hard, the final harvest will be sweet.

Moderator: Excuse me, Teacher Cherry, what kind of woman do you think is the one favored by time?

Cherry: A reader replied to me on Weibo that no matter how successful a woman is, it is better to spoil everything. I think it's good.

But in general, favored women need to have certain hard indicators, such as being young and beautiful.

Why is beauty always associated with youth?

There's a line in Empresses in the Palace, a woman's color declines when she is old, and she loves to relax.

This is the truth verified by countless introductions to dorothy dandridge!

No matter how much money a woman makes, no matter how good her husband is, no matter how obedient her child is, she can't rely on the day when she becomes a middle-aged aunt and an elderly mother-in-law.

Everyone knows what kind of aunt exists.

When young, as long as there is collagen, the feelings of girls will always be poetry. But once you're not young?

I wrote a sentence in the book: whether beauty can last depends on how you live. A woman who can be loved by time must be a woman who loves herself.

The specific answers are all in the book. Should I say it without reservation, or should I read it in more detail in the book, so as not to waste your precious time here.

It is absolutely unreserved that a speaker like me can have such a book and give me room to play. So, in fact, the book is very detailed.

Interviewer: Cherry is so interesting that she must be a beautiful teacher.

Interviewer: We found that the topic of "being a woman favored by the times" is called female topic selection. Then I looked at your previous writing experience and found that you rarely dabbled in this topic selection before, so I want to ask you what is the difference between female topic selection and other topics, and what needs special attention?

Cherry: Well, I did write many styles, including film reviews, chicken soup, that kind of inspiration, and even fairy tales. But I think the biggest difference between female topic selection and other topics is that writers must have a complete value system.

Writing a book is not only a code word, but more importantly, it outputs a person's world outlook, outlook on life and values.

When a book comes out, you need to output as many views as there are chapters. It is common for a book to have three or four viewpoints.

There are many opinions, and sometimes people can't remember them clearly or even forget them.

In this way, it is easy to go wrong. For example, there is a contradiction between before and after, saying that being single can add value. In short, it is not good to be single, which wastes great youth. Young people should fall in love more and experience life more.

We often feel this way when we look at the official WeChat account, especially those large tweets. Because there are too many contributors, their views are naturally different. Watching too much makes people feel at a loss.

In the process of searching for information, women often encounter this situation: this article is well written, so I use it. That's not bad either. I will learn.

It is good to draw lessons from and learn from, but it is also possible to refer to other people's arguments on the basis of one's own three views.

Without a strong and complete self-worth system, it is easy to be led by other people's opinions.

Moderator: Excuse me, Miss Cherry, do women have any skills in choosing topics in writing? Share your experience and methods with you.

Cherry: First, read more large-size books that focus on women's feelings, such as Reading at Ten o'clock and Ci Reading Society, and pay attention to the titles, characters, people and hot events they often push.

The second is to combine your own personal experience and what you have seen and heard. As a woman, most of the topics that I usually care about and love are also hot topics now.

Third, take the book "Being a Woman Favored by Time" as an example. There are many people and things involved in this book, so it is inevitable to collect and sort out information. There is no shortcut to this, but it can only be accumulated in peacetime.

When you put forward an argument, you must go through it in your mind first, and then filter it out one by one.

Sometimes, it is because of an event that I think of putting forward a point of view, so I need to find similar events of other characters to prove it, or use counterexamples to compare it.

In this case, you need to be familiar with all kinds of events and people, understand the basic process of events, and then verify their authenticity.

It is important to verify this.

Now that the Internet is developed, many people's events are rumors and even fabricated by fans.

The difference between writing a book and writing an online text is that the online text may sink to the bottom of the sea after it explodes. You can delete anything you say on the internet, but once the book is printed, it is a document record and can be used as evidence in court.

Therefore, the characters and events mentioned in the book must have evidence and sources to prove that they are well documented and not fabricated by themselves. Otherwise, if you get a so-called disclosure circulating on the Internet and write it in a book, you may get into trouble. And it will appear that the author is not rigorous.

Reporter: So, Mr. Cherry, how did you collect these writing materials? Is there any specific method?

Cherry: If you want to concentrate on code words, you have to give up almost all social activities and can't go out surfing.

So this method of collecting materials from people around me is completely useless to me, but I have a hobby that I like watching movies. The first code word also begins with writing a film review.

Movies are also life. Isn't the movie story ready-made material?

Then I often chat with strangers. I don't know if it's because I look "Oh, I seem to want to talk to you as soon as I see you". I often meet strange middle-aged uncles and aunts outside and chat with me.

I think I am also the kind of person who can say something, but when I meet them, I just nod, "Mm-hmm" and "Yes, yes", and I can't get in a word at all.

But there are many stories about them. Sometimes if you buy a dish and ask if there are any yellow potatoes, you can ask about the aunt's life in the market.

Maybe people are really hard to live now, so just pick someone to talk to.

As for me, I happen to be the kind of person who is willing to listen as long as you are willing to talk.

Then there is reading. I think many authors have said this, so I won't go into details.

Another point is that because the book Being a Woman Favored by the Times involves many foreign female stars, it needs a lot of original materials as reference. This is very scarce in China and can only be found online.

How to find it? Over the wall.

There are many wall-climbing plug-ins on the Internet, so it doesn't cost much to buy one.

Moderator: Excuse me, Mr. Cherry, how do you evaluate your writing? Then what advice do you have for new writers?

Cherry: How do you evaluate your writing? Sure!

If you don't appreciate yourself, others have no reason to appreciate it! Don't you think so? Hey hey.

However, I can be better. Writing is a continuous process. I believe that the more I write and the longer it lasts, the better my writing will be.

I think writers, like teachers in class, should be responsible for what their readers say and write.

Bai Juyi said that only articles can be passed down through the ages. What does the article rely on to spread through the ages? Every word is a pearl.

Now some popular articles on the internet are inciting readers' emotions. At first glance, they seem to be right, so that they can create the appearance of * * *, but after careful scrutiny, I always feel that something is wrong here and there. Watching too much makes people more and more impetuous.

An article that has been passed down through the ages should make readers calm down after reading it.

Just like meeting a good teacher, what he said can always make people feel relieved, and some people even change their lives because of him.

I think writers should bear such a sense of mission. With a sense of mission, you will be full of awe of words and will not play with words.

For newcomers, my advice is to write.

It doesn't matter whether you are born with this material or become a talent the day after tomorrow. Only by writing constantly can we make progress. As for what to write, it doesn't matter at all. The important thing is to write.

When you write to a certain extent, you will naturally know what you can write.

Interviewer: Teacher Cherry, do you have any plans for your future writing? So what direction are you going to work hard in the future?

Cherry: I have tried many types of writing before. I have tried many types of writing, film reviews, stories, chicken soup, inspirational, social sciences, and almost everything.

Finally, I think writing long stories is more suitable for me.

Because I talk too much, I can't write, and short stories can't bore me?

So you see, like "Be a woman favored by time", all single articles are no less than 5,000 words.

So next, I will focus on writing a long fantasy with a little fairy tale color, and write a series of three to six volumes. The outline of the story is already available, and the first volume is coming to an end. It is going to be released quarterly like an American TV series. If the prospect is good, continue to write and create a brand-new magical world.

Interviewer: The book Becoming a Woman Favored by the Times has been put on the shelves. What do you want to say to the readers?

Cherry: In the blink of an eye, beauty is fleeting. May all women in the world be valued by time and live high to be wonderful.

I hope every female reader can be favored by Time.

Male readers will change their names to "time" and pamper the women around them. Ah ha ha ha ...

1, reader's question: I have a strong desire to express myself, but I don't know how to describe it in words. The material and inspiration in my mind can't be fully expressed in words, which is the so-called word poverty. How do you deal with this creative confusion?

Cherry: This is the "stuck" phenomenon in the creative process. If you are in a place with a strong learning atmosphere, such as the library, you need to close your eyes, go to the toilet, have a drink, or have a meal, change your mind and don't stutter. At the same time, environment also plays a very important role. For example, try not to write at home, because you will always walk around at home unconsciously and disturb your thinking. For example, in a coffee shop, people don't know each other, so there are fewer people who can disturb you. When writing jam, don't push yourself too hard. In this case, you can look at other authors and other writers and see how they express their views.

2. Readers ask: What kind of movies do teachers usually watch? Can I find a movie to watch according to the theme I want to write?

Cherry: I prefer watching Hollywood movies. I like watching cartoons. All the new Hollywood movies will be watched. Many times it is because of watching a film, and sometimes it is because of writing to find material in the film, but this situation is relatively rare. It usually involves a star or a real person, and they will go to see a documentary or biography based on this person.

3. Reader's question: Does your quiet husband blurt out "a woman who loves time" greatly help your writing in life? Such as first reading, proofreading, etc.

Cherry: My husband never reads what I write. At least as far as I know, he has never read my work. If he had read my works, he might love me more. My husband's greatest help to my writing is support. Although he can't say, he supports me in action. He takes care of the children and so on. He supported me without complaint.

4. Readers ask: Do you usually write outside? ?

Cherry: Yes, it's all written outside, such as Starbucks, cafes and libraries. My favorite is Starbucks. The first is to be close to home. The second is that no one is disturbed and the environment is good; The third is: the taste of coffee smells good with writing. The smell of coffee makes people feel refreshed when writing!
