In Li Qing's view, if only in terms of influence, the winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature should not be Mo Yan, but Wang Yu.

To emphasize, Li Qing did not mean to belittle Mo Yan at all, nor did he mean to elevate Wang Yan at all, Mo Yan deserved to win the Nobel Prize in Literature, and there was a reason not to award Wang Yan the Nobel Prize in Literature.

But—

In terms of influence on the Chinese people alone, Mo Yan is indeed a horse that can't catch up with Wang Yu, whose works have blown a hurricane in the eighties and nineties.

Wang Yu's works have influenced two generations, and Feng Xiaogang has publicly said and even written more than once, "My acquaintance with Wang Yu is like looking up and seeing the Big Dipper." ”

In fact, Feng Xiaogang has indeed benefited a lot from Wang Yu, such as "Party A and Party B", "See You and Leave", "Endless" and other movies that most people are familiar with, all of which come from Wang Yu - this is not to say that Feng Xiaogang is incapable, if this is the case, movies such as "Party A and Party B", "See You and Party B", "Endless" and other movies cannot have such achievements, and Feng Xiaogang cannot become one of the top directors in China.

In addition to Feng Xiaogang's several movies, several TV series and movies that are very influential in the history of Chinese G films also have a lot to do with Wang Yu, such as "Desire", "The Story of the Editorial Department", "BJ People in New York", "The Stubborn Master", "Sunny Days" and so on.

And the most remarkable thing about Wang Yu is not that his works have been adapted into many famous and influential film and television dramas, but two other things:

First of all, Huayi Publishing House published a set of four volumes of "Wang Yu's Anthology", which created a precedent for living writers to publish anthologies. As soon as it was listed, it caused a national hot sale. At Wang's request, the publishing house implemented a royalty payment system for this set of books, which was the first time that royalty payments had been implemented in the mainland since the late 70s. Xiao Qian once said: "Wang Yu has loosened the restrictions on mainland writers. ”

The second thing is that Wang Yu created the new Kyoto dialect - the new Kyoto dialect that has formed characteristics in later generations is largely influenced by Wang Yu's works, and most of the new Kyoto dialects such as "You Ya", "Ma", and "Punching" are from Wang Yu's works, or at least spread by Wang Yu's works.

Of course, for Li Qing, none of the above is important, the important thing is that Wang Yu is the core of the circle that Li Qing wants to join - the absolute core.

Yes.

Say "You're worth it." The person is Wang Yu.

Wang Yu is different from what many people imagine, and he is not like the sixth master played by Feng Xiaogang in the movie "Old Cannon", in Li Qing's view, Wang Yu is like a big boy, a cynical big boy, a big boy who retains his innocence and is unwilling to compromise and bow to any man.

Wang Yu came to Ma Weidu's side and whispered: "So many people are watching, don't be ashamed of you!"

After Wang Yu's reminder, Ma Weidu suddenly woke up, "With so many friends present, if I am bald, how will I continue to mix in Kyoto in the future?"

Thinking of this, Ma Weidu gritted his teeth, then looked at Li Qing and said: "From today on, you will be the resident singer of the Haima Song and Dance Hall, five hundred a night, and you will come to me to get today's money in a while!"

Li Qing jumped off the stage, came to Ma Weidu and Wang Yu, and said with a smile: "If you want five hundred, it's actually a joke with Mr. Ma, just give me two hundred, and I don't sing every day, a little bit of me sing, I sing, I don't have a point, I just come over to play, and the money doesn't have to be paid a day, just a month." ”

Today's Ma Weidu is not the foremost person in the antique industry who has a museum in the future, although he has made some money by reselling antiques, but after all, this money is counted.

And—

Ma Weidu has invested most of the funds he has (430,000) into the Haima Cabaret.

After more than a year of operation, not only did Ma Weidu not make half a dime, but also made Ma Weidu lose a lot.

It's not that Ma Wei can't do business, and it's not that the business of the Seahorse Cabaret is not good, but Ma Weidu has too many friends.

Some people may ask, what does it have to do with losing money if you have many friends?

More than ten or twenty years later, no matter where you spend, friends are ashamed of not giving money.

But the people of Kyoto at this stage are not, they are proud of not giving money to each other.

As soon as Ma Weidu's friends entered the Haima Song and Dance Hall, they would say: I know the boss here, and I will invite you to this meal.

Ma Weidu's friends are invited, all of them are invited with their mouths, and those who really spend money to invite are all Ma Weidu.

Some people who have a particularly good relationship with Ma Weidu will also say, "Alas~ I had a good time tonight, what can I bring when I leave?", but not only did he not give money, but he also had to pack two drinks to take away when he left.

There are many such people, and some of them have even done this for those who have only met once.

Ma Weidu is a person who likes money, but he can't wipe his face.

After coming and going, the Seahorse Cabaret is in a state of long-term loss.

In addition, Ma Weidu loves to buy antiques.

Therefore, at this time, Ma Weidu really had no money.

Therefore, listening to Li Qing taking the initiative to lower the price, and also earning benefit wages and monthly wages very humanely, Ma Wei secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and his perception of Li Qing suddenly improved a lot!

Wang Yu also had a good impression of Li Qing, so he invited Li Qing to sit among their friends.

Wang Yu's invitation was exactly what Li Qing wanted, so he accepted Wang Yu's invitation and sat among them.

Li Qing took the first step smoothly - the first step that was crucial.

Li Qing, who has just entered Wang Yu's circle, will inevitably become the focus of attention temporarily.

But—

It's just for a moment.

After a long time, these people ignored Li Qing's nonsense and all kinds of complaints and scolding.

Li Qing drank boldly but didn't say much, and his first impression on Wang Yu was not bad.

After Hu ate and drank, the people at the table left one after another.

None of these people paid, and Ma Weidu also took more than a dozen drinks.

Li Qing didn't pay either.

Although he drank a lot of wine, Li Qing still knew clearly:

Contacting Wang Yu's circle does not mean entering their circle, especially not entering the core of their circle.

If this circle is really so easy to enter, Feng Xiaogang doesn't have to see anyone pretending to be a grandson.

When you are a newcomer, you can show your talents, but you must be low-key, pay the bill or something, you must wait until Wang Yu and them really regard themselves as friends, otherwise they will definitely arouse Wang Yu's disgust, and they will even be regarded as fools and Kaizi by Wang Yu.

You can learn a little from Feng Xiaogang's experience in getting along with these people, of course, this degree must be grasped well, otherwise some of them will be regarded as Feng pants.

Relying on the mountains will fall, relying on everyone will run, relying on parents and parents will grow old, so in the end, you have to rely on yourself, these people and this circle are just stepping stones for yourself to move forward.
