Chapter Ninety-Three: Reversal
In the era of information explosion, countless new things happen every day. But there are always a few that are particularly interesting. Liu Xiaoping and "Ugly Chinese" are one of them, and Lu Shuangshuang's withdrawal from the Youth Song Competition is also one of them.
Because of the lifting of the lid and the sharp words, "The Ugly Chinese" has set off a wide discussion in cultural circles and even in the whole country. It's just that most of them are infamous and have few likes.
Even with the infamy, the sales of this book are climbing higher and higher day by day. More than 400,000 copies were sold seven days a week.
It's the end of the year now, and no book of the year has reached that height before it. Including Zhu Ziqing's two novels. Although the total sales volume is very high, it is the result of long-term sales.
In terms of single-day and single-week sales, it is far from being comparable to this book. Therefore, "Ugly" is bound to shine on the annual sales list.
Sales are secondary, and the most important thing is the impact it causes. When they first read the book, many people will be annoyed and angry, and they will shoot the case and scold angrily.
But when I dream back in the middle of the night, I will inevitably ask myself, are all the things written in the book fake?
Once this idea arises, it spreads like a plague and is difficult to contain.
"The Ugly Chinese" is so sharp and profound that I want to kill the author. After reading this book, I haven't slept well for three nights. My mind is full of the contents of the book. ”
"This book is like a mirror that shows all my shortcomings. When I read this book, I scolded loudly, and after reading it, I was sweating with shame. ”
"Finally found like-minded people. I also think this book is so well written, it hits the nail on the head and hits the nail on the head of the flaws that are common to our people......"
"I also wanted to speak out in support for a long time, but the whole country was scolding, and I didn't dare to say more. Such a good book. I can't figure out what those people are scolding......"
These comments are like signals. Immediately afterwards, countless readers began to show up to explain their experiences. And most of the people give good reviews.
Looking at these comments, Liu Xiaoping said to Zhu Ziqing: "The time has come to fight back. Can it turn public opinion around in this move? ”
"Where's the timing? Why didn't I see it. Zhu Ziqing couldn't figure it out, wasn't it just a few positive comments. How can it be the time to fight back.
After the book was released, no matter how badly the outside world scolded it. Liu Xiaoping: They have all remained silent and have not refutated. Zhu Ziqing was still very strange about what the hell they were doing.
He asked Liu Xiaoping this question. It's just that Liu Xiaoping pretended to be mysterious and didn't tell him, and said that he would tell him when the time came. Tickle the teeth of his hatred.
Thinking that the timing in Liu Xiaoping's mouth was a few praises, he really couldn't understand what kind of timing it was.
"The content of this book is too sharp. All who touch it will be stung. Regardless of whether what it says is true or not, the first time the person who is stung is definitely not reflecting, but scolding. It's human nature.
At this time, instead of being effective, justification will provoke public anger.
Only when the pain has calmed down will everyone reflect. That's our chance. Only at such times will they listen to our justifications. Liu Xiaoping finally uncovered the mystery.
"It's just a few good reviews, didn't someone post good reviews before. Why wasn't that the time? Now is the time?" asked Zhu Ziqing unconvinced.
"You don't understand that. Liu Xiaoping said proudly:
"There used to be good reviews, but 99% of the posts were swearing. You take a look at these good reviews. Most of the posts also agree with the landlord.。 This shows that most people have entered the stage of reflection. That's why I said the time had come. ”
"It's so complicated. You people are really, there are a lot of fancy intestines. I'm such a simple person as I mess with you. It's really an insult to my reputation. Zhu Ziqing said unkindly, but in fact, he admired it in his heart.
That's the devil in the details. Be sure to write them down so you may need them in the future.
"I guess Master should do it right away. He had been holding his breath for a week. This time, I will definitely vent my head. Some people are going to have a good show. Liu Xiaoping ignored Zhu Ziqing's ridicule and said leisurely.
Jia Qigong really started to act as Liu Xiaoping expected. He contacted dozens of well-known people with whom he had a good relationship, as well as several influential media outlets. At the same time, he attacked and began to justify his favorite little disciple and his works.
"Commentary. It is the most tragic place of the pen fight. Liu Xiaoping has always been a representative figure in the current commentary circle. As we all know, the current commentary pays attention to the timeliness. Fighter planes are fleeting, so the reviews are not long and each piece of content is not very relevant.
However, Liu Xiaoping found a different way, using dozens of essays with related content and progressive meanings to form a book that belongs to the current commentary. He is the pride of my current critics and has found a new direction for the development of the current critics. -- Famous commentators of the time.
"His words are pungent and deep, and he has made countless enemies because of this. His words are like daggers. Straight into the heart.
Let those who have read this book fidget, go crazy and out of control, and even scold out of grace. Most of the scolding on the Internet a few days ago also came from this ......" -- writer Liu Xiangkui.
This is Liu Xiaoping's reflection on human nature. With his unique vision, he is keenly aware of the bad roots hidden in the middle of our culture. This will be the most significant cultural event in recent years. -- Educator Kang Maiyong.
Liu Xiaoping looks like he has no shape, but he didn't expect the brushstrokes to be so deep and tricky. I don't know how you feel when you read this book, but I'm sweating from it.
It felt like he was pointing at my nose and scolding. Laughing, I feel that this book is based on me. -- The famous writer Gan Ruoxu.
……
The tone of the major media has completely reversed, and yesterday was still full of scolding. Today, most of it has become a word of praise.
And the people who stand up to comment are all the leading domestic current review experts, well-known professors, famous writers, and educators......
These people may not be well-known. But in his own circle, he is a figure like Dinghai Shenpin. Their opinions can influence many public figures. And these public figures can influence more ordinary people.
This was the first bullet of Jia Qigong's counterattack. In addition to traditional media, he will naturally not let go of the Internet.
Because his favorite little disciple was almost destroyed by someone using the Internet, Jia Qigong had a special understanding of the Internet. He is well aware of the importance of the Internet to public opinion.
I also know that one of the most active groups on the Internet is students. These young people love nothing more than being keyboard warriors to do justice online. If they are put to good use, word-of-mouth on the Internet is no longer a problem.
Moreover, college students are the most thought-forward people in this world, and they are more receptive to new things. They will be the group most receptive to "The Ugly Chinese."
So he also used his connections to contact a large number of influential cultural celebrities in colleges and universities. Go to the campus network of each university to speak and guide student groups.
"I would like to recommend a book called 'The Ugly Chinese. This is a film that is related to the times, to the whole of China. A book that violently attacks China from the perspective of the times.
His power is unprecedented, and even the most in-depth scholarly articles cannot compare to this work. It writes, thinks, discovers. The sharpness of the pre-liberation Lu Shuren can only compete with one of them. ”
Similar comments appeared on the campus websites of dozens of colleges and universities, and for a time caused an uproar in the student community.
As Jia Qigong believes, college students are the ones who are most receptive to different ideas. Their statements are much more pertinent.
"When I first read this book, I thought it was grandstanding and couldn't be put on the stage. However, when I saw the content inside, for a while, my face was red.
Every word, every sentence in it, seems to speak of itself. However, he was so angry that he did not admit it."
"When I stumbled upon this book, I was angry at first, but I read it with curiosity, and I didn't expect it to be really good!" - Student B.
"I hate Xu Jinru, this guy's mouth is too dirty. And I also summarized a pattern. All the authors and works he scolded must be very good-looking. This time I saw him scolding "Ugly Chinese" in the media and bought it back without saying a word.
Once again, the facts confirm my opinion. Thank you, Mr. Xu Jinru, you are a good person.
But what puzzled me was, why is there so many people scolding such a good book, is it because it tells the truth?
Why are those who tell the truth often targeted? This is the ugliness of the Chinese, because they never admit their mistakes!" -- Student C.
Students don't just have to say what they have on the campus network, they all have their own forums and websites that they often go to. Therefore, many students will also go to the forum to post often, or their own experience, or transfer things on the campus network directly.
In short, it didn't take long. There was a wave of discussion about "The Ugly Chinese" on the Internet. And this time, the word of mouth is diametrically opposed to the last time. Six or seven times out of ten are compliments.
From a netizen who plays soy sauce to a professional critic, from an ordinary youth to a well-known author, from an energetic student to a professor and mentor who is a role model......
This hurricane set off a monstrous wave in the literary world, sweeping the entire Internet and media. It sparked a big discussion among the whole people.
Discerning scholars soon discovered that the work had important political significance in addition to its literary significance. This discovery has made many experts and scholars ecstatic.
You must know that although the status of the literary world is still very high in modern times. But the influence on politics has been minimal. This has made many scholars extremely dissatisfied. They have been looking for ways to expand the influence of literature.
It would be better to return to the feudal era, where literary intervention dictates national politics. Unfortunately, their efforts have had little effect.
And now, they see hope in the book "The Ugly Chinese". Suddenly it was like a treasure. Many experts and scholars who did not like the book have changed their minds about this.
Overnight, "The Ugly Chinese" completely became a rare carnival for literary workers in the literary world! )
