Chapter 761: Tough Guy Style
When Guo Dalu carries the cultural works in his mind to this world, he will basically make some modifications, and the changes may not be big, but the details have been corrected, such as the time and place related to reality in some works, Guo Dalu has changed, just like the place name of the author's hometown in "Red Sorghum", Guo Dalu directly changed it to Baolan City.
I like this Guo Dalu very much, I feel that the talents in it are called people, Yu Zhanao is definitely not a good person in the traditional sense, this guy robs the house, kidnaps and ransom, and is a bandit bully.
He went to resist the Japanese, not out of some lofty ideals, but because the Japanese army was too bad, killed too many people, and killed a lot of his brothers and friends, so he thought about revenge.
So he is not anti-Japanese, he just wants revenge, he has no lofty ideals, and he does not have advanced moral cultivation, he does this, mainly to survive.
And the heroine Dai Fenglian is not a good woman in the traditional sense, and this woman is not a safe master, after getting along with Yu Zhanao, because Yu Zhanao found other little girls, so Dai Fenglian retaliated and got into Luohan's arms and slept with Luohan.
So this woman was rumored to be a romantic girl by later generations, very coquettish, not a morally perfect person, just a woman with a lot less restraint in a special era, and it can't be attributed to a good person, but it can't be regarded as a bad person.
This kind of multifaceted and complex is a living person, and most people's books are face-painted things, and the characters are not distinct, so they are not good books.
And this "Red Sorghum" is written by a living person, and it is very three-dimensional, which requires a strong writing.
In the book "The Old Man and the Sea", Guo Dalu directly moved the background to the seaside of China, and all the characters in it were sinicized, such as the old man who fished, Guo Dalu directly named him, called Guo Dahai, who is simply the same generation as Guo Dalu.
Guo Dalu is shameless, and it is also very distinctive, which makes people feel that they are writing about himself when they read this book.
Lei Yu is a world-class literary master, his level of literary appreciation and his own literary accomplishment, is already one of the top people in the whole of China, so after seeing Guo Dalu's "Red Sorghum", he gave a very high evaluation, and felt that this book was fully qualified to be included in Guo Dalu's literary collection, so this happened when the Yellow River Literature and Art Publishing House published the "Guo Dalu Novella".
"Lao Jiang, you're too conservative this time!"
After the first printing of 50,000 copies was sold out in one day, Wang Jinlong, president of the Yellow River Literature and Art Publishing House, urgently called Jiang Dongliu to the office, "Although the sales of traditional literary works are generally sluggish, there are also many authors' books that sell very well.
Wang Jinlong stretched out his fat palm and waved it vigorously, "Let's go and print one million copies first! With Guo Dalu's current influence, one million copies is also a warm-up!"
Jiang Dongliu was skeptical, "President, this is not like martial arts, but the readership is different." ”
Wang Jinlong said: "Now is the era of fan carnival, even the things of small fresh meat have many people to buy, Guo Dalu is such a powerful film and television star and director, his fans are more than the domestic fans of small fresh meat combined!
In fact, as Wang Jinlong expected, Guo Dalu's novella, whether in physical bookstores or on online platforms, the sales volume is actually not much lower than that of the previous martial arts, and some readers who don't like to watch martial arts also moved the idea of buying and reading Guo Dalu's pure literary works when they saw them come out.
Guo Dalu's "The Old Man and the Sea" is now very famous overseas, and has recently been named one of the "ten most unmissable books in the past ten years" by a reading magazine in the United States, which has attracted attention all over the world, and now there are many kinds of translations and are well known by many countries.
Now that it has finally been published in China, many people can't resist their curiosity and deliberately buy it to read it to see what qualifications are worthy of so many people's recommendation.
I have to say that a good book is a good book, even if it is carried to this world from another world, the charm of this book can still conquer many readers.
If Guo Dalu's episode is long, many martial arts readers will not have the patience to read it, because traditional literary works are too grinding and too laborious to read.
Fortunately, whether it is "The Old Man and the Sea" or "Red Sorghum", this can only belong to the category of novellas, and the length is not very long, and some people have time to read it out of curiosity.
I have to say that there is a gap-like gap between pure literary works and popularity, whether it is the choice of words and sentences or the description of characters, it is indeed much more clever than most martial arts, and Guo Dalu's martial arts can compete with these pure literary works a little, but after all, it is still a lot worse, this is not to say that martial arts are garbage, but it also depends on what it is compared with.
A book with a large number of readers is not necessarily higher at a professional level than a book with fewer readers, and sometimes there is no necessary connection between fame and strength.
Guo Dalu's book friends are accustomed to martial arts, at first glance these pure literary works, they are a little uncomfortable, but once they read it, they find that there is a world in this book, that kind of reading feeling, far from being popular can give, popular is a story, and this pure literary work is also a story, but the way of telling is different, the meaning conveyed and the impact on people's hearts are completely different.
When watching martial arts, what you want is the pleasure of reading, the reader is just a spectator who reads the story, and generally will not be completely brought into it, but pure literary works are different, excellent literary works will make you present the image of the protagonist and supporting role in your mind very three-dimensionally, it can control your mind, make you happy, and also make you sad, your emotions are completely driven by the plot of the book and the behavior of the protagonist, from a bystander to a participant, after reading a book, it feels like experiencing a life that has not been experienced。
After reading it, there will be a sense of amazement in my heart, reluctant to end it so quickly, but looking forward to finishing it quickly, a book can give people a very complicated reading experience.
After reading these three novellas by Guo Dalu, many readers all feel the difference between pure literature and popular literature, and they feel that they are indeed more compelling works, but they are less of the high speed of reading, but there is more of a spiritual shock.
Some readers react very strongly, while others react very blandly, and they don't think it's good, they have different personal hobbies, different experiences, they like it very much, and they don't like it very much.
Guo Dalu's collection of novellas soon sparked a big discussion among readers.
"I'm going, Guo Ye is really going to change his career to write pure literature? I've always read it, and it's really good, and at first glance, it's written by Guo Ye, and this Nima is all tough guy style stories! Guo Dahai, who went to sea to fish, and Yu Zhanao, who robbed the girls to resist Japan, all of them exuded a strong atmosphere, the difference is that Yu Zhanao is savage and wild, while Guo Dahai is calm and steady, but they are both iron-blooded men!"
"I think Guo Ye is describing himself very shamelessly, the name Guo Dahai, tsk, change one word slightly, that is Guo Dalu!"
"The image of Yu Zhanao, a proper country bandit, Guo Ye is now also called a living bandit, these two books are completely his self-portraits!"
"The most annoying thing is that this guy painted his self-portraits very tall, and put Ah Q in these two books, what does this Nima mean? This is an extremely strong contrast, Yu Zhanao's barbaric blood, Guo Dahai's perseverance, never admit defeat, only Ah Q is cowardly and incompetent, only the method of spiritual victory, these three books are put together, and the taste of irony is too strong!"
