218 Opens up new battlefields
Xiaobai's "Notes on Tomb Robbery" could not win the award, which in itself is an incredible result. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
However.
Weng Yihua's opinion on the results of this year's award-winning review caused an uproar.
Bizarre?
No literary beauty?
Such accusations are directed at "Notes on Tomb Robbery".
Even Lin Tao, who was far away in Songping City, felt a strange atmosphere from the newspapers and news, and the storm of public opinion was ignited immediately.
"Weng Yihua publicly criticized "Notes on Tomb Robbery", who is right and wrong?"
"Literary titan reviews today's most popular work - quirky and bizarre!"
""Notes on Tomb Robbery" has no literary beauty, where is Chinese literature going!"
Weng Yihua's statement so clearly did surprise Lin Tao, it can be said that he had never heard of the name Weng Yihua in this time and space.
But in this world.
Lin Tao recognized Weng Yihua's top position in the industry, and it can be said that to some extent, Weng Yihua almost represents a writer of an entire era.
As one of the top writers in the country.
Weng Yihua's attitude can almost be regarded as the mainstream understanding of literature, but at this moment, this understanding seems to have hit a wall in front of Lin Tao.
Number 24.
The "Dongjiang Daily", which had been silent for two days, once again published an article signed by Wang Dongdong on the third day after Weng Yihua's article, refuting Weng Yihua's views by name.
"What is literary beauty? What is the portrayal of life? What is truly great literature? Two days ago, Mr. Weng taught me a vivid lesson.
In China's literary circle, Mr. Weng represents a whole generation, from the 60s, to the 70s, to the 80s, and even to the 90s.
In such a long era, Chinese literature can be said to have undergone earth-shaking changes, the prosperity and decline of local literature, root-seeking literature, etc., the rise and decline of campus literature, the prosperity and decline of martial arts, and so on.
I don't know what the enlightening meaning of the real great literature Mr. Weng is talking about, but as a junior, as a bystander, and as a reader, I think that the real great literature lies in writing twists and turns and bizarre stories with simple brushwork, and portraying life.
Creation comes from life, unbridled imagination, bizarre worlds, these are all derived from life and beyond life.
"Notes on Tomb Robbery" is undoubtedly an excellent work, its professionalism, rich historical knowledge, precipitation of ancient habits, etc., are rare knowledge, to be able to knead these things into a story with simple handwriting and vividly portray, I think this is a great success, it is unsurpassed, and the best work of the year deserves it. ”
Completely torn apart!
Wang Dongdong's article came out.
The whole circle suddenly became a sensation, Wang Dongdong undoubtedly openly declared war, fighting for fairness, fighting for honor, and fighting for due obligations and responsibilities.
But for Wang Dongdong's post, Weng Yifan fell into silence until a Weibo content began to circulate on the Internet.
Once again, things are at an impasse.
Yang Fan, the author of the novel of the year "Chunhua and Autumn Fruit", and Wang Xiaoni, the winner of the author of the year, officially replied to Wang Dongdong's article in the "Dongjiang Daily" for the first time.
"There are no rules, there is no circle, I hope to respect the results of the review!"
"I would like to thank the jury for recognising my work, and I have reservations about the claims of some people who think there is a better work, because it has been proven that I am the best and we are the best. ”
Yang Fan and Wang Xiaoni's post in the "Novelist" daily is undoubtedly the official start of the battle against Wang Dongdong and the "Dongjiang Daily" behind him.
After the start of the scolding war.
There was an uproar on the Internet, and supporters on both sides began a protracted battle of contention that was the focus and center of the whole affair.
Lin Tao seemed to be ignoring what was going on outside the window, as if he was nothing, he went to and from class every day, reading books and codes.
However, the whirlwind of award-winning events swept through the entire city of 6 Naka and Matsudaira like an autumn wind sweeping away the leaves.
6 in.
3 shifts.
The bell rings for the end of class.
Meng Xinyao called Lin Tao out of the classroom after the second class ended.
The students of Class 3 were already not surprised by such a move, and they were nothing more than suspecting what reason Lin Tao would be summoned.
"Teacher Meng, a true warrior dares to face the bleak life, dare to face the dripping blood, this kind of thing, the pure self-purity and the turbidity, if my work needs to be measured by one or two awards, it is a failure.
In the same way, if any work is worth it because of one or two awards, then it is not worth it, and can one or two awards represent the opinion of all readers? I am sure that even Mr. Nobel would not think so. ”
Meng Xinyao was suddenly a little stunned.
She knew that Lin Tao was a little distracted in class.
In fact, Meng Xinyao guessed well, Lin Tao was indeed distracted by this incident.
Weng Yihua supported the book "Chunhua and Autumn Fruits" so strongly, almost the entire circle was a little unexpected, after all, it is reasonable for a writer who has been famous for a long time to say such a positive opinion to comment on a work.
If "Tomb Raider Notes" is really as bad as he says, what about sales?
When Wang Dongdong's call reached Lin's house, it was almost ten o'clock in the evening.
Lin Tao is actually putting the finishing touches on the manuscript.
The manuscript of "Notes on Tomb Robbery" has been serialized for 6 issues.
According to the established plan.
The whole work will be serialized for 18 issues, that is, it will not end until May 2008, but he has almost finished writing the manuscript now, and the finishing work is over, only the revision of the first draft remains, and works like Lin Tao, which are conceived and restored on the basis of original memory, are actually more in line with modern reading habits and aesthetics.
"Brother Dong, if you call me so late, is there something surprising about Mr. Weng again?"
Lin Tao's slightly ridiculous tone eased Wang Dongdong's originally unhappy mood a lot, in the final analysis, this matter still involves Lin Tao's interests, so seeing that Lin Tao is so optimistic, the pressure in Wang Dongdong's heart is undoubtedly much easier.
After all, not everyone can challenge Weng Yihua.
in the country.
At present, I am afraid that no media or magazine dares to do this.
Weng Yihua's role alone is limited, and the terrible thing is that his apprentices and grandchildren are all elites in the entire industry, and no one can guarantee that these people will not suddenly take a bite.
If it really arouses public anger, even Xiaobai may not be able to eat and walk around.
"Not really, the news from the US has already arrived, that the production of Kung Fu Panda is in the final stages, and they want to invite you to the premiere in Los Angeles on January 1st. ”
Premiere?
Lin Tao was stunned.
So fast!
How do you feel that the production has just started, and it has only been produced in less than half a year, if Hollywood studios are all at this speed, then I am afraid that Chinese films will not be able to catch up even if they are filmed.
Just attending the premiere?
"No, if you refuse them, it's inconvenient for me to attend the premiere, but Brother Wang, you can suggest that they hold a premiere in both China and the United States, and in China, choose Songping City. ”
"Matsudaira?"
Wang Dongdong was a little speechless.
Los Angeles is a world-class city, the hometown of Hollywood, the entertainment capital, Matsudaira? Matsudaira and Los Angeles, this seems to be a bit out of tune.
"What's the matter?"
Issue?
It's not a problem at all.
Wang Dongdong continued to speak.
"Brother Dong, don't care if it's suitable or not, just convey my meaning to the Americans, as for whether you agree or not, that's their business. ”
Wang Dongdong nodded helplessly, and then he opened his mouth to get down to business.
"I'll tell you, in addition, how to deal with this accident I want to ask your opinion, whether to continue to refute or disappear, now that Weng Yihua has publicly stated his position, we can lead public opinion and readers to fight back-"
"Brother Dong!"
"After all, the power of the reader is the most powerful, I don't believe that he Weng Yihua can cover the sky with one hand, I--"
"Brother Dong!!"
in the microphone.
was drunk by Lin Tao violently, Wang Dongdong's words came to an abrupt end, and the words that had rolled to the tip of his tongue were swallowed again.
"Brother Dong, you don't need to have a hard time with them in this matter, I will deal with it myself, the manuscript of "Notes on Tomb Robbery" has been completed, you are ready to work on the publishing side, and the publishing contract can be drafted according to "Love Apartment", but the old rule is that all copyrights other than the publishing right are reserved by me personally. ”
"It's over, so soon?"
Wang Dongdong's voice was a little surprised.
"Notes on Tomb Robbery" began to be serialized in September, and it has only been 3 months, and the whole book has been completed.
In fact, it is not very fast to finish the book in 3 months, but if you think that Lin Tao is now in his third year of high school and is sprinting for the college entrance examination, it is a little surprising.
"I'll be ready, don't worry, but what do you want to do with Weng Yihua? Let me tell you, don't be impulsive, his influence is not comparable to you now, if it really doesn't work, let's take a step back, take a step back and open the sky." ”
Take a step back and open the sky?
Muttered.
The corners of Lin Tao's mouth showed a little disdain.
He was indeed disdainful.
Weng Yihua's blatant act of favoritism, if placed in the Internet age, is enough to trigger a national criticism movement.
But now the Internet is not as developed as the time and space in which it is located, WeChat and Weibo have not yet appeared and promoted on a large scale, and the most popular Sina blogs are basically occupied by some big Vs, and it is difficult for them to create an influential trend.
But is it really necessary to cover the sky with one hand?
Lin Tao really didn't believe in this evil.
The end of November ended quickly.
The first day of the last month of 2007.
The December issue of Dongjiang Literature was officially launched, with 510,000 copies sold on the first day.
Arguably.
This achievement created the highest daily sales of any magazine in China in history.
Even Novelist magazine, once a group of novelists that it was proud of, could only look up to such heights of terror.
However, what caused a sensation in public opinion the next day was not the terrifying sales of 510,000 copies, but the latest issue of Dongjiang Literature Monthly, which officially published a signed article signed by "Xiaobai".
The first sentence makes people feel that there is a strong smell of gunpowder.
"A true warrior dares to face the bleakness of life, to face up to the dripping blood, rather than hiding behind rotten wood and enjoying the sunlight through the glass.
It is just wishful thinking on the part of some people to represent the opinions of millions of readers with just one award, and if the novel of the year is judged and not chosen by readers, then I can only say that this award is a chicken rib for me, tasteless, and a pity to discard. ”
Bang!
The whole place was like a thunderbolt falling from the sky on a sunny day, blowing up the entire literary world and social public opinion to pieces, and the shining thunder suddenly illuminated the entire domestic literary circle.
Deadwood?
Who is Rotten Wood?
Is it Weng Yihua or someone else?
What does it mean to enjoy the sunlight through the glass?
Those who can enjoy the sunlight through the glass are all flowers in the greenhouse.
But what's really shocking is that.
Xiaobai actually regarded the Best Novel of the Year award as a chicken rib, which is undoubtedly an extremely arrogant and even unreasonable behavior, but the strange thing is that there are a lot of hot reviews on the Internet.
"Domineering! Xiaobai is domineering!"
"A true warrior dares to face the bleak life, dares to face up to the dripping blood, and to put it well, it is a mule or a horse that comes out to slip away!"
"Do you dare to let readers judge!"
"I choose "Tomb Robbery Notes"!"
"I choose "Spring Blossom and Autumn Fruit"!"
"Self"
"Ancient"
"Two"
"Building"
"Out"
"Silly"
"Force!"
"!"
Thousands of comments began to conquer every news about this report on all websites, and for Xiaobai's strong move, everyone seemed to see the situation when Xiaobai countered those bad comments before.
No doubt they all know by now.
Once Xiaobai makes a move, it will never be a protracted continuous war, but will become an encounter where only the brave can win.
Boom!
"Today's young people really don't know what to do, they don't know what to do!"
"Elder Weng, don't be angry, this kind of person is not worth your anger!"
Capital City.
This is a very elegant small building located on the campus of Northern University, this building is the expert building built in accordance with the architectural style of the Qing government at the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China, there are 18 in total, and there are more than 10 sets of top housing in each building.
In the second unit of Building 8, several middle-aged men and a few young people in their thirties huddled in the living room with compliments on their faces.
Sitting at the top was an old man in his seventies, with wrinkles crawling all over his cheeks, but still in good spirits.
"Hey! Now the younger generation in the literary world is too impetuous, and at that time, where did we know what kind of ghost stories we were doing, which were not allowed, and literature could write these things? At best, it can be regarded as popular fiction, and if I am concerned, this kind of work should not have been nominated in the first place. ”
There was silence in the living room.
The nomination of "Notes on Tomb Robbery" is by no means a decision that can be made by any one person, it is something that the entire jury members unanimously agrees on, and the public opinion at the time also led to this result.
It's just that the result seems to be a bit contradictory to the original nomination.
Now that the author of "Notes on Tomb Robbery" has come out to speak out, they naturally can't retreat.
"Weng Lao, I see that what you said last time still has some truth, if a literary work can't even take care of reality, it is definitely not enough to become a great literary work. ”
"Hmm!"
"Reality is a good word!"
"The current works just lack that spirit!"
"Writing about tomb robbery? Isn't this digging the grave of the ancestors!
Just when everyone was talking.
12 on the 2nd.
On a well-known domestic portal, a post suddenly appeared that was pushed to the news headlines by netizens overnight.
The content of the post is not unusual.
But it instantly blew everyone's eyeballs.
A new battlefield was opened up almost overnight. (To be continued.) )
