Chapter 44: Response
There can't be only one voice in the world, and someone will scold and someone will praise it. Don't look at Zhu Ziqing's scolding very badly, it's a boycott and an Internet riot or something. In fact, there are still many people who are speaking for him, or taking a fair leave from a neutral side.
"I don't know why those people are so excited, I think "Wolf Totem" is very wonderful, and I can't wait to become a wolf when I watch it. β
"Me too. In the past, the impression of wolves was that they were simply cruel and cold-blooded, but now I know that they have so many more. If it weren't for the conditions, I'd be ready to raise one to play with. β
"Zhu Ziqing is the best at using his works to change people's perception of the outside world. The manga "My Neighbor Totoro" changed the naming of a species, and "Wolf Totem" will also change people's impression of wolves...... By the way, can anyone tell me what Totoro's original name was? β
"To the point, this novel is very well written. In particular, the description of wolf nature is very expressive and will surely be an eternal classic. β
"The novel is well written, and the descriptions of human nature and wolf nature are unique. However, the author simply attributes the advantages and disadvantages of nomadic and agrarian peoples to wolf nature, and thinks that Western peoples are more intelligent than Eastern peoples, which is too naΓ―ve and superficial. Aside from these two points, this book is still worth reading. β
Indeed, it would be naΓ―ve to attribute the differences between agrarian peoples and nomadic peoples, between Eastern peoples and Western peoples, to wolf nature. Zhu Ziqing doesn't look like such a stupid person. I don't know how I could have made such a mistake this time. β
"Nothing strange, novel. All the settings are based on the central theme, as long as the center is right, everything else is casual. This novel emphasizes wolf nature, and it is normal to write like this. It's just that Zhu Ziqing himself didn't expect everyone's reaction to be so intense. Otherwise, it would never have been written like this. β
"But let's be honest, China has been weak for too long. There is indeed a lack of wolf nature in his bones. β
"There has been a lot of controversy since the publication of this book, so I won't go into details. In my opinion, as a nation and a country, China's role in the world is quite soft and needs a bit of wolf nature. And most of the individuals who make up the society have a kind of vague and impetuous anger. If so, add a little more ruthlessness. I'm afraid there will be an accident.
It is true that the wolf totem in the book is not the superficial violence and mania mentioned above. But in today's impetuous society, I am afraid that few people will calm down and think about what kind of spirit the wolf totem is, and the possibility of being abused is far greater than the possibility of playing a positive meaning, which is sad.
In addition, in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, in order to pursue short-term economic benefits, the grassland ecology was slaughtered, and the yellow sheep, wolves, swans and other ethnic groups were slaughtered. I couldn't eat for a whole day, and I was extremely depressed. Ignorance is not only pitiful, it's terrible. β
When experts and scholars from the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, native Mongolians, and historians collectively condemned "Wolf Totem" for distorting history, and many netizens were ignited with anger, these voices of support were overpowered.
And because of the riot of netizens, there was a big movement, which caused Skynet to call the police. After the police announced their intervention, people with ulterior motives were forced to hide from the limelight, and those netizens who were used were also frightened to stop, and they could no longer make much of a storm.
What's more, Zhu Ziqing has made a great name in the literary world. There are many supporters. At first, these book lovers were shocked by a large group of experts and scholars, and did not dare to express their opinions. But after getting used to it, I got angry. The idol who bullied me still scared me, which is unbearable or unbearable. Therefore, the suppressed voice of support for Zhu Ziqing began to raise its head.
In this case, Silian Publishing House suddenly announced that Zhu Ziqing would hold a press conference in Mingzhu City two days later to explain the matter of "Wolf Totem".
After this statement was issued, not only did the development of the matter not be stopped. On the contrary, the public opinion circles have become more noisy.
Those who condemned him included experts, scholars, and native Mongols...... It's more active. Present facts and evidence from various angles to prove that Zhu Ziqing distorted the facts.
The book friends who supported him saw the statement as if they had found the backbone, and began to scold those who scolded him.
There is only one reason for this, and Zhu Ziqing responded.
Whether it is scolding or boasting, the person concerned is silent, and everyone will soon get bored and lose interest in the topic. Once the parties come forward. Everyone will be as excited as if they have been beaten.
And this seems to be the first time Zhu Ziqing has taken the initiative to respond publicly. In the past, no matter how others smeared him, he ignored it as if he didn't see it. Let those with ulterior motives have the feeling of punching in the air.
This reality exalted those who condemned him, and they thought their accusations had worked. Zhu Ziqing was forced out to explain.
They are ready, no matter what Zhu Ziqing explains, they will seize more loopholes to attack. You have to gnaw a piece of meat on him.
"I've only been back for a few days, and I'm going to leave again. Zhu's mother said with a reluctant face.
"I don't want to, isn't there no way. Zhu Ziqing replied helplessly.
"You said those people are really, why do they hold on to you. Isn't it just a novel, and you provoked them?" Zhu's mother turned the gun and said angrily. She doesn't think it's her son's fault, and if there's a fault, it can only be someone else's.
"Now the transportation is so convenient, and the round trip is very fast. If you miss me, just go to Wuhan directly, and our family has no shortage of these two travel expenses. Zhu Ziqing comforted.
"You're talking light. It's okay not to say it, but when she said it, Zhu's mother was even more angry: "You stinky boy with no conscience, and I haven't seen you come back a few times with convenient transportation." This time, I called back again and again. If the wings are stiff, you don't want me and your dad. β
"No, no, no matter how good I am, I'm still your son. Don't slander me. Zhu Ziqing shouted and hit the sky.
"Hmph, that's a bit of a conscience. Mother Zhu said angrily.
"Why don't you and my dad just move to Wuhan, the conditions there are much better than here. And it's close. β
Zhu Ziqing knew that this proposal was not feasible at all, and it was difficult to leave his homeland. Relatives and friends are here, how could they possibly leave. The reason why I put forward a suggestion is completely to divert Zhu's mother's attention.
After hearing this, Zhu's mother glanced at him and said, "Nonsense or something, your father and I are here, what are you doing in Wuhan." Those who are unfamiliar with the place can't even find anyone to talk to. "Sure enough, I didn't pursue the fact that he didn't go home on vacation.
This matter is not investigated, but her old man's eyes lit up and said, "If you and Bao'er can have a child, I can serve it." Look at Zhang Yan and Wu Zhixuan's children, how cute. I don't know when I'll be able to hold my grandson. β
"Uh...... "Your old man's thinking is really out of the box, I'm willing to bow down." Zhu Zi set off from his home and rushed to Mingzhu City.
Tao Yingshuang had been waiting for his arrival for a long time, and when he learned his exact itinerary, he immediately arranged for a driver to come to pick him up.
Before you know it, everyone's identity has changed. When Tao Zhu and Zhu met for the first time, Zhu Ziqing was just a fledgling poor boy, and Tao Yingshuang was a second-generation official who was unambitious. At that time, if Zhu Ziqing came to Mingzhu City on official business, Tao Yingshuang usually came to pick up the airport in person.
Now, one is a world-famous writer and a well-known entrepreneur, and the other is the CEO of a large book publishing company. Although they are all successful in their careers, they are also entangled in mundane things and don't have much time to communicate. Pick-up is basically handed over to the full-time driver. It doesn't seem to be as close as it used to be.
This is the reality, there are gains and losses. It's just that Tao Zhu and the two have an extraordinary relationship, in addition to being partners in their careers, they are still relatives, and they don't care about this form of problem.
"Haha, you're in such a hurry to come back, your parents didn't say anything, right?" Tao Yingshuang said with a laugh after meeting at Silian Publishing House. I didn't look worried about the current crisis.
"You say, you almost didn't nag me to death. Thinking of Zhu's mother, Zhu Ziqing replied with palpitations.
"It's okay to make a few more phone calls. If it doesn't work, I'll take them over and stay there for a few days. β
"Then they have to be willing. Zhu Ziqing shook his head, not dwelling on this question: "How is the situation now?"
"There are still a lot of people who condemn it. Originally, the heat of this matter has a tendency to decrease, but as soon as the news of your press conference was released, those people came back and danced more happily. Tao Yingshuang pursed his lips, obviously disdainful of these people:
"But it's not without good news. There are more and more people supporting you. Book sales are also gradually picking up, with nearly 3,000 copies sold in one day yesterday. There are definitely more sold today. β
"That's good. Zhu Ziqing breathed a sigh of relief.
"How are you preparing for the press conference? Have you figured out how to deal with it? Do you need our PR team to help you formulate some countermeasures? Tao Yingshuang asked.
"I already have a draft, but it's not as good as it is perfect. Call your PR team over and we'll talk it over. Zhu Ziqing did not refuse the offer.
He was a man of good spirits, believing in the principle that everything is foreseen and everything is lost. There is a special public relations team that is not used, and he has to bite the bullet himself, which is not his style.
And he never felt anything wrong with using a PR team to concoct answers. It's not a traitor, so why can't it be used?
Tao Yingshuang knows his character very well, and it is not surprising to hear this answer. And he should have guessed in advance that Zhu Ziqing would answer like this, and he had already prepared all the personnel.
So after asking Zhu Ziqing's consent, he just made a phone call and said bring someone over, and didn't say anything else.
While waiting for the arrival of the public relations team, Tao Yingshuang suddenly said: "Zhao Rouya's Clover Garment Company is on fire. (To be continued.) )
