Chapter 380: Lu Wu's roundabout apology

When chatting with Xu Qingya before, the little girl mentioned that He Lao had entrusted someone to hand over the first 20 words of "The Palace of Eternal Life" to Mr. Lu Wu.

Calculating the time, no matter how slow Mr. Lu Wu's reading speed is, it is time to finish reading it at this time.

After reading it, it should always be a little expressive.

Sure enough, Lu Wu updated a dynamic.

It was updated yesterday.

Not a lot of words.

Well, it's relative to his previous dynamics, the number of words is not much.

"Today, I watched a new work by Hemingway sent by a friend, and I have some changes to Hemingway. At the same time, there are some feelings. The current environment for literary creation is too harsh, and even a talented writer like Hemingway has to lower his stature to write low-grade literature that makes money, delaying his talent and talent. It's really suffocating. ”

This...... It's an apology from the Nobel Prize boss, right?

Although it is more roundabout, there is not a single word "apology" throughout the article.

But it should be an apology, right?

At least to justify Hemingway.

By the way, I complained about the creative environment.

Du Caige's anger basically disappeared.

It's not because of Lu Wu's apology.

It's because he found out that Lu Wu, the Nobel Prize boss, is actually just a poor stubborn old man.

Well, Lu Wu himself definitely doesn't feel sorry for himself.

However, in the eyes of an onlooker, it should be easy to conclude that this old man has been abandoned by the times and is gradually becoming difficult to integrate into the world.

Lu Wu was once the most popular writer in Dahuaguo, and his writings, poems, and essays were highly sought after.

His early works are actually still very popular.

And he's also a middle-class writer.

Between the ages of 20 and 50, he published 6 million words of work.

Naturally, the speed of codewords cannot be compared with that of online writers...... But as a writer of traditional literature, his output is not low.

But in the past 20 years, to be precise, after winning the Nobel Prize in Literature, Lu Wu has only published a few 500,000-word works, one is a 200,000-word medium-length novel, and the other is a 300,000-word literary research.

If these 500,000 words are all high-quality words, it is good to say, the key is that the quality is not high, at least the readers do not buy it.

In fact, for writers, there is no significant decline in creative ability after the age of forty or fifty.

Although there are many writers in ancient and modern China and foreign countries, although they rose to prominence in their youth, it is difficult for them to surpass their previous peaks later.

However, many people did not publish popular literary works until they were 50 years old.

Rabindranath Tagore's The Birds was published when he was 55 years old.

Tolkien began publishing The Lord of the Rings at the age of 62.

A Song of Ice and Fire was published by George Martin at the age of 48. And at the age of 73, the old man is still working on the 6th volume of "A Song of Ice and Fire...... God bless him to live a few more years, and don't let the readers of the earth cry and wait for the passive eunuchs.

In the final analysis, Lu Wu's creative ability should not have declined.

He is in good health and does not have many worldly distractions.

He doesn't go to speeches or go to make money, and he rarely even participates in writers' association meetings and the like, so he doesn't lose his heart because of fame, and he is stuck in a life of drunkenness and money, and he is trapped in worldly distractions.

For the past twenty years, he has been "immersed in writing".

However, he was clearly devoted to literary creation, but he only wrote 500,000 words in 20 years......

Even if Tai Shi Gong was disabled and wrote a historical record when he was poor, this "swan song of the historian, the rhyme of separation" is faster than this.

It can only be said that after Lu Wu won the Nobel Prize, although he was not lost on the surface, he actually raised the shelf of the Nobel Prize boss.

After that, he was always worried, worried that what he wrote did not conform to the identity of the "Nobel Prize boss", worried about bad sales, worried that the literary ideology was not strong, and worried about being picked on......

Therefore, what he has written in the past 20 years has been evaluated as "his words have lost the ability to move the heart, but there are no obvious errors and omissions, and it is simply a grammar textbook".

For a while, Du Caige felt bored.

I actually fought with such a person before...... It's ridiculous to think about.

Such an old stubbornness, since he has lost the ability to create, should honestly hide, and don't always stand up and make outdated remarks.

How ridiculous is it to criticize online literature for being vulgar and unelegant?

Have you forgotten that even the poetry scriptures that seem to be too elegant now, in the Shang and Zhou dynasties, many of them were actually created by the Xiariba people.

It's hard to get into the hall of elegance.

This is not a casual fabrication, nor is it a rhetoric.

The Book of Poetry is divided into three parts: "Wind, Elegance, and Song" according to the different tunes.

Ya is the music of the region directly under the jurisdiction of the Zhou Dynasty, that is, "Zhengsheng Ya music".

It is music that is played at formal court banquets or important state events.

Wind is the local music of different regions, and most of the songs are played during the festival.

Among them, "Ya" is divided into two Ya, Da Ya and Xiao Ya.

Daya mostly sings the praises of the royal family, ancestors, etc. Xiaoya is basically a poem written by small nobles that depicts the life of the aristocracy.

Chinese style music is naturally difficult to compare with Daya music.

Not a level thing.

Chinese style music is popular music that is too vulgar to be good.

In those days, it was "fast food music", something that could be understood by Chinese people who had no culture and had a low level of culture.

Compared with "Ya" and "Song", the words used in the national style of poetry are obviously more popular and simple.

The aristocratic families did not bother to play at all, and the aristocratic musicians did not study. (Except for some court musicians.) These court musicians had to play national style music to the Son of Heaven, so that the Son of Heaven could understand the people's feelings. )

But a few hundred years later, the vulgar national style music slowly turned into elegant literature that the aristocracy had to know how to sing and quote when socializing.

After another thousand years, the "Book of Songs" has become one of the subjects of the imperial examination, and the "National Style" of those who are under the riba has become one of the most brilliant pearls in the crown of Chinese literature.

The legend of the Tang Dynasty, the Ming and Qing dynasties, was not elegant when it was just born, and was sneered at by the literary leaders at the time.

It was even suppressed and banned by the authorities.

But have all of them become "literary masterpieces" that have been handed down to the present?

Mr. Lu Wu, if you won the Nobel Prize, if you got it hundreds of years ago, it would also be something that the people of Xiariba saw, and it is also vulgar literature that is difficult to get into the hall of elegance, do you know?

Even the theatrical lyrics that you look at now and think that "there is something wrong with Hemingway" were vulgar things despised by literati and doctors hundreds of years ago, and were considered rubbish of "prostitution and theft", do you know?

Of course, Du Caige doesn't think that online literature can also be transformed into a literary masterpiece after a few hundred years.

However, he firmly believes that in a few hundred years, at most a few decades, the term "online literature" will gradually disappear.

There is no longer "Internet literature", but all of them belong to the category of "popular literature", which is juxtaposed with the books of Lu Wu.

That's right, Mr. Lu Wu, your bookshelves in large chain bookstores such as "Dahua Bookstore" and "Huaxia Graphic Text", as well as in online shopping malls, are actually also placed in the "Popular Literature" area!

Du Caige looked at the Weibo of some of the top celebrities in other cultural circles that he had followed before.

Including the chairman of the Dahua Writers Association "Wang Mo", several Poplar Literature Award winners, and then some big names in the drama circle and music circle (non-pop music), many people have discussed "The Palace of Eternal Life" in Weibo dynamics.

Perfect for what it is.

Du Caige took it all.

He's just a porter, he's aware of that. However, "The Palace of Eternal Life" deserves praise.

It may be inferior to "The Peony Pavilion" and "Peach Blossom Fan", but "The Palace of Eternal Life" can definitely be called an immortal monument in the history of Chinese literature and drama.

It is impossible to overstate how much praise can be given to such a famous book.

In fact, he really wants to click into a few fan groups to see what fans are talking about.

But the mobile version of LL has not yet been officially released.

Now I don't bother to get up and turn on the hotel's computer.

So he retreated and swept "Hemingway's bar", as well as his own Weibo.

His Weibo was posted by Li Zhe's team on several Weibo, most of which were chicken soup and other things, which seemed to be quite forced.

also called on fans to watch "Those Years".

There are also a few interactions with pop singers and musicians, and it is estimated that Li Zhe's team has been in contact with those people's teams and made commercial behaviors.

Most of the fans' messages are currently focused on the topics of "Romance of the Dragon and Snake", "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" and "Those Years".

There are also a few fans who are constantly asking "What kind of book is the Palace of Eternal Life", "Haida, have you written a new book again", "When are you going to officially release the Palace of Eternal Life" and so on.

Such fans are probably true love fans.

Du Caige also suddenly moved his mind and sent a private message to these fans: The Palace of Eternal Life will not be published for the time being, leave your address and email address, and I will arrange for someone to make a copy and send it to you.

Although he is not a star, it is also quite interesting to occasionally fulfill the wishes of a few true love fans.

As for the various discussions on tonight's show, although there have been some hot posts, they have not yet formed a scale.

Looking at the time again, it was close to 3 o'clock in the morning.

Gotta get some sleep.

So Du Caige turned off his mobile phone and forcibly counted the sheep...... I counted more than a thousand and still haven't fallen asleep.

It was about 5 a.m. when he barely slept for a while.

The next morning, he was forced to get up.

Although as a salted fish, lying in bed and sleeping back in the cage are basic skills, but there is still something to do this morning, and I have to catch a plane in the afternoon, so I can't delay.

I finished washing up with my eyes closed, sleepwalked out of the house, took a taxi, and took a nap in the car.

When the car stopped at the door of the banana platform, Du Caige slapped his face and forcibly cheered up.

After contacting Han Yi, he went straight to the office of Geng Siyuan, deputy director of Banana Channel and director of the "New Power of Music" program group.

This is not the first time he has met Geng Siyuan, but the two are not familiar with each other, so Du Caige spoke politely.

But only in a polite tone.

After listening to Du Caige, of course Geng Siyuan refused, all kinds of retention, and even vague threats, but Du Caige was unmoved.

In the end, Du Caige said with a smile: "Actually, whether I leave or not, in fact, this is a trivial matter." It won't have much impact on each of our lives. So, Director Geng, I hope to keep things on the ground and not let this matter affect our personal relationship. ”

"Of course, of course. Geng Siyuan didn't want to offend Du Caige.

"Well, I'll let my agent talk about the rest of the matter. I will leave it to him to deal with the amount of liquidated damages that should be compensated. I'll quit first!"

After speaking, he didn't give Geng Siyuan a chance to stay, and went out quickly.

Geng Siyuan's eyebrows were twisted into the word "Sichuan", and he sighed for a long time: "It's not easy to do......"
