The conference table was slammed.
The whole conference room was silent, no one took the initiative to express their opinions, not because they didn't want to, but because they didn't dare, unemployed or silent?
Apparently most people choose the latter.
Clearly visible.
Almost everyone had a newspaper on the table in front of them.
The Novelist's daily news of the day.
On the cover headline of the newspaper, the title of Lin Tao's signed article is extremely eye-catching.
"Do unto others as you would have them do unto you."
In the long list of names that Lin Tao refuted by name, Yang Lijun was impressively listed.
As the founder and chief columnist of Voice of Literature, Yang Lijun is well-known in the press and entertainment circles, and of course, it has mixed reputations.
As a cultural celebrity, Yang Lijun's rhetoric is too revealing and high-profile, and he has been choked more than once in recent years.
The Voice of Literature magazine has publicly refuted the article of "Kung Fu Panda" several times, but in fact, it was opposed by several senior editors within the magazine at the beginning, but Yang Lijun still insisted on sending it out.
Originally, when Lin Tao and Dongjiang Literature Publishing House collectively silenced their voices, Yang Lijun made nonsense in his internal speeches more than once, thinking that the other party was poor in reason and words, and that he had a ghost in his heart, so he didn't dare to come out openly and justifiably.
But it wasn't until Lin Tao published this article in the "Novelist" daily news, which could even be called a battle payment, and slapped them in the face.
Then he was furious.
However, it was all too late.
Lin Tao not only stretched out his hand to slap his face, but also put on a posture of "Lao Tzu is going to do it with you", which is completely a posture of beating you to the point of convincing if you are not convinced.
"What's wrong? Speechless?"
"Mr. Yang, Xiaobai is not targeting you alone this time, but all the people who have refuted his works, you are actually--"
"Actually, what?"
Yang Lijun's voice was loud.
The editor who spoke before immediately fell silent, obviously not wanting to have too much conflict with Yang Lijun on this issue.
And to put it bluntly, this kind of thing is actually Yang Lijun's personal opinion, and their entire magazine will not have any bad impact because of this.
"What kind of thing is he, Lin Xiaobai, a copy of "Kung Fu Panda" will go to the sky? When did the literary and art world only recognize sales and not quality? Not to mention 30 million sales, it is 50 million and 60 million, and some people criticize him.
What is it? Is this art? Bullshit art!"
Boom!
The solid wood conference table was slammed into the sky, and the already tense atmosphere in the conference room became solidified, and even breathing was a little short.
In fact.
Many people are playing drums in their hearts.
"It's not art, at least it's 10,000 times better than those articles you write!"
Yang Lijun is not the only one who has seen this reaction.
Lin Tao's battle report is tantamount to stirring up a thousand waves with one stone.
Especially the sharp words and extremely bold naming in the article, almost all of these 40 or so people are cultural celebrities or celebrities in the entertainment industry distributed all over the country.
Among them, there are even some university scholars.
It is said that literati are light, and this time, the signed article published in the daily news of "The Novelist" undoubtedly made the already hot weather in July a little hotter again, adding fuel to the fire.
However.
This is just the beginning.
July 16th.
The severity of the hot and dry weather has once again triggered an orange warning from the entire Southern Regional Weather Bureau.
The heat of up to 40 degrees Celsius directly emptied the whole city.
The sky over the entire city was like a flame gathering and boiling everything in sight, and the high-load air conditioners began to burn out one after another.
But at The Novelist's magazine in northwestern China, the enthusiasm for work has not been affected by the weather, but has become more and more high.
"That's bold!"
"I didn't expect Xiaobai to be so bold, maybe it's our northern man. ”
"Come on! He publicly named so many people this time, and he didn't know what he would face next. ”
"It's certain to offend people, it's up to you how to deal with it!"
"Xiaobai's character, if you don't do it, you will carry it to the end, if that's the case, there will be a good show to watch!"
"I think it's about the same, you see he predicted that the box office of "Kung Fu Panda" will not be less than 500 million US dollars!"
"The novel of "Kung Fu Panda" is really good, but it's hard to say whether it can be made into a movie and sell for 500 million US dollars, and the book has not yet been released in North America, so if it is on the market and has five or six million sales, it is okay to say. ”
In the conference room located on the 3rd floor of the magazine office.
A dozen staff members whispered to each other, and the discussion became quiet as a middle-aged woman in a professional skirt swooped into the conference room.
Li Hongbo's face was very calm.
But that's not the case at heart.
As the senior vice president and editor of The Novelist magazine, she has met many people, especially writers in the circle.
But with a character like Lin Tao, it is indeed the first time she has seen it, and she dares to use such sharp words to refute people in the entire industry, and they are not ordinary people without influence, I have to say that Lin Tao's approach is really bold.
This article really subverts her traditional perception of cultural people.
But what frightened her even more was not the sharp rhetoric and unyielding rebuttals in that article.
It's something you just got your hands on!
Lin Tao's follow-up draft.
"Is he really going to cause an earthquake in the domestic cultural market?"
Straighten out your thoughts.
Li Hongbo coughed twice.
"Okay, we have a meeting now, you also saw yesterday's news, and everyone knows the sensation caused by Xiaobai's article this time.
But today we are not talking about yesterday's news, but today, which is the manuscript that I just received, and you can all take a look at it and discuss whether or not to send it out. ”
Li Hongbo finished speaking.
The secretary next to him got up and sent the contents of the letter that had already been printed.
The entire conference room fell silent.
But after less than a moment, the silence was broken again by the noise.
"That's too-too sharp!"
"If this article is sent out, it will definitely be an earthquake. ”
"Bold, Xiaobai is too bold, compared with this article, yesterday's article is simply pediatrics, but I'm afraid this kind of article is not easy to post!"
"Xiaobai, this is going to use the opportunity to open a new book to fight them to the end!"
"Sister Li, can you tell me who Xiaobai is, is it a man or a woman, old or young, tall or short? If it is a man, is it handsome? If it is a woman, is it beautiful?"
There was a lot of talking.
But Li Hongbo and the entire conference room were still amused by this strange question.
But Li Hongbo didn't answer, nor did she open her mouth to interrupt the debate in the conference room, and she also needed some heated comments to help clear her mind.
In the past 2005 years.
The work "Kung Fu Panda" undoubtedly overshadows other literary works in China.
Whether in the domestic book market or in the foreign book market, this work has reached a new height that Chinese literary works have never reached.
From an insider's point of view.
Li Hongbo greatly admires the author of this work, Lin Xiaobai, and the monthly magazine "Novelist" is even considering awarding him the best new writer and writer's work in 2006.
But it is clear that the culture of contempt for the literati has not disappeared because of the success of "Kung Fu Panda" in the book market, but has become more and more intensified.
However.
In this battle, "The Novelist" magazine and the news department have changed their previous style and stood in a neutral position, and even faintly shouted for Lin Xiaobai and "Kung Fu Panda".
Although no one has noticed this yet.
But Li Hongbo understands it very well.
Literature needs to be reformed, new things need to be accepted, and genius writers like Lin Xiaobai need to be accepted to replenish fresh blood. As the originator and titan of domestic literary publications, "The Novelist" will sooner or later stand on the cusp and even face this pressure.
Before "Kung Fu Panda" came out, the reason why no one was willing to come forward was because they couldn't find a fuse, and they didn't have a benchmark work to use as a position and banner to promote this reform.
However, Kung Fu Panda did.
Lin Xiaobai's battle essay is like the key to unlocking this vigorous struggle, but whether "The Novelist" should immediately intervene in this controversy.
This is an issue that Li Hongbo needs to carefully consider.
The debate in the room continued.
"What is your opinion? You have all read the article, and I have another manuscript here, which is also written by Xiaobai, and the content is very simple, but if this manuscript is not published by us, then I will not publish it for the time being, this is the author's own intention. ”
Li Hongbo's words were like a bombshell.
The crowd that had just calmed down immediately began to quarrel again.
At this moment.
Even Li Hongbo couldn't help but admire Lin Tao's wrist a little.
With a third manuscript in hand, he had no fear that the editors of The Novelist would refuse to publish it.
And so it turned out.
0 votes against, 0 abstentions!
The decision to publish Lin Tao's second draft was unanimously approved.
"Sister Li, hurry up and show us the manuscript in your hand!"
"That's right, Sister Li, we're just waiting for this!"
The secretary nodded and sent all the manuscripts in his hand.
As Li Hongbo said, Lin Tao's third article is indeed very simple:
"I, Lin Xiaobai, asked "Novelist" magazine to publish this news: On August 1, Xiaobai's second work will be officially styled by Dongjiang Literature Publishing House in China.
I apologize to those who enjoyed Kung Fu Panda with this book, as some people think that Kung Fu Panda has lowered your IQ.
I would like to use this book to thank the Martians who hate Kung Fu Panda, because you Martians have the IQ that makes Kung Fu Panda a good seller again and again.
Finally, I would like to thank all the staff of Dongjiang Literature Publishing House for your work day and night. ”
There was silence in the conference room.
The corners of Li Hongbo's mouth showed a hint of an unfathomable smile.
It seems that their reaction has been expected for a long time.
"Finished?"
"That's it?"
"Sister Li, that's all, what's the name of the new book?"
"Xiaobai is too unkind, I'm worried about being scared, just show me this?"
"Hahaha!"
Lin Tao is indeed not kind.
But it was precisely this hand that made Li Hongbo completely determined to stand on his side.
Looking at the atmosphere in the conference room, which suddenly became excited, Li Hongbo couldn't help but nod secretly.
No one could see the inner turmoil.
But Li Hongbo himself knew how surprised she was.
No author has ever been able to create such a buzz before a new book is released, and even turn all the editors in the room into their own readers.
Undoubtedly.
From this point of view.
Lin Tao succeeded!
Li Hongbo even had some vague expectations.
It's not about the success or failure of this time, but about Lin Tao's new book. (To be continued.) )
