Chapter 45: The Crying Caterpillar
The Wanmeng reward of "Wolf Totem" completely made this non-fiction novel popular, but if there is praise, there will be trolls.
In addition to the articles that praise this novel in the past few days, there are naturally some comments that disparage "Wolf Totem".
"I endured the vicious idea of throwing this book into the garbage, and after reading this book that is very popular on the Internet and more than two people recommended to me that this book is quite good, "Wolf Totem", during which I used a variety of different reading postures to let myself read it patiently: there is a cross-legged meditation pose, there is a reclining Buddha pose, there is a riding horse squat crotch pose on the toilet, and I almost didn't take the big top.
In order to suppress the questions that kept surging in my mind, what is this writing? To call this book "a book of wonders" is a bit too much. The text is still bookish, and the first-hand life material is very vivid, but the rendering is a bit excessive, especially bloody.
Forget about the theme, it's complete nonsense. Just like the book friend said, there is one meaning throughout: everything is inferior, only the wolf is high. When the worldview and philosophical outlook that we have been instilled in since childhood are gradually subverted, we turn around and embrace the other end without reservation....... Foreigners, ethnic minorities, and Westerners are all of the highest grade, and all those of the Han nationality and the traditional Chinese are of the lowest grade!
"First of all, I state my position: I am a Han nationalist, and the author's text may have an audience in today's era when the Han people are facing dissolution, because most readers have not thought about the content of the ethnic group, but for me, any words and deeds that insult the Han people are unacceptable.
In addition, the author's reversal of black and white seems to be very sympathetic, and I am saddened by this. I really can't imagine any contribution to human civilization by a race like the steppe peoples who will only destroy but not build (before, not now), and the author admires the invaders with a "wolf" nature in every way in the book, which really disgusts me, bad reviews!"
"After reading everyone's evaluation of this book, I began to feel a serious problem, I found that not only can I not believe the words of netizens when I read the book in the future, but I can't even believe the comments and evaluations on Tianya, Douban, and Zhihu, so many five-star recommendations, I'm afraid it can also be faked, and it's easy to fake, alas, it seems that there is really nothing to believe, there is hype everywhere, gunmen everywhere, monopolized discourse, and the garbage that is forced into us!"
"The consequence of over-commercialization is that many well-known books are just text garbage, and this book is no exception, with many shortcomings. In short, first, there are loopholes in the logic, many theories are not widely recognized, and second, the theories are superficial, the author is verbose for a long time, the language is not concise and does not say, the evidence is also nonsense, and the inferences cannot withstand scrutiny.
Third, lack of skills, each chapter is a repetitive story, the chapters are so, it makes people sleepy, and the last large lecture makes people fall asleep directly, if such a book can be called a "divine book", then my junior high school daughter's essay can be said to be a "palace-level article", in short, it is not recommended, it is not good-looking......"
Suddenly, two extreme comments made Li Jie fall into the center of public opinion.
can't help but be so, under the guidance of well-intentioned people, several coastal websites and media have openly pointed the finger at Li Jie.
"The wolf totem is a joke, a book with low IQ and extremism" - Binhai Evening News.
"Fool is a big liar and is suspected of plagiarizing famous books" - special report.
"The graffiti work with three wrong views, bullshit doesn't make sense" - current affairs news.
"The Wolf Totem of the Calf|-This is a Garbage Book" - Today's Hot Spots.
The reports are like snowflakes, which have caused a lot of controversy on the Internet, most of which are questioning his remarks about finding someone to ghostwrite, suspected of plagiarism, and having three wrong views.
Among them, there is a writer "Crying Caterpillar" who wrote several reports in a row, which pushed Li Jie to the forefront.
"Rumor-mongers, the bottomless hype of literature"
"Kneeling and Licking Mongolian History, the Traitor Theory of Popular Writers"
"A Han Man's Roar, Angry Criticism of the Forty-One Fallacies of the Wolf Totem" has been reported in a row like heavy cannonballs, clearly pointing out Li Jie's works, plagiarism, ghostwriting, water army, packaging hype, admiration for foreigners, traitor theory, and so on.
I have to say that this "crying caterpillar" is very powerful, and several of his reports can be said to be to the point from the cultural level of the work, the growth experience of the protagonist and how to package and hype the creation of literature, and his sharp accusation of Li Jie.
Even Li Jie, a reborn person, has to admire this "crying caterpillar", he has studied the novel "Wolf Totem" deeply, the key is that this novel has only been published for a week, even many experts in the previous life will not have this level.
"Boss, these articles are all smearing you, how can we fight back?" Guan Ning looked at the posts on the Internet, he was really angry, he couldn't understand why so many people attacked Li Jie.
He also read the novel "Wolf Totem", and I have to say that this is a very good novel, even the picky Guan Ning was amazed to read it.
In particular, the novel describes the life of the people in the Tengger area on the prairie, and reading this novel is like being in the prairie, feeling the vastness of the grassland, the hospitality of the people, and the subtle relationship between man and wolf.
The noble feelings of being born in the grassland and returning the body to the grassland after death, a kind of fearlessness of death, and the kind of calmness after death.
But it is such a novel that has attracted such vicious criticism, as Li Jie's younger brother (at least Guan Ning himself thinks so), it is difficult for him to bear this breath.
"Ignore them, mediocrity bothers you. Li Jie smiled faintly, he didn't pay attention to these at all.
It's normal for novels to be controversial, and now that so many people on the Internet are studying this hour, at least it shows that the novel is really valuable.
"You're still laughing, they're all scolding you, these so-called brick beasts, how can they write with a conscience like this?" Guan Ning still felt that he couldn't swallow this breath.
During this period of time, he ate Li Jie's and used Li Jie's, if he couldn't even help with this little favor, then he would be really useless.
"Let them scold, a novel can't be liked by everyone, and the more they scold, the more topics of "Wolf Totem" will be, and the more popular the market will be. Li Jie paused and continued: "If I stand up now and hit their bad, you must know that some people in this world can do anything in order to be famous." ”
"Could it be that we just forget it, especially that "crying caterpillar" is simply too hateful, and we didn't provoke him, why should we belittle you?" Guan Ning was really unwilling.
He wanted to find out the rumor-monger at once, beat him up, and then kneel down and make him sing conquest.
"It's not worth being angry with this kind of person, don't worry, I will make them pay in the future. Li Jie's eyes suddenly flashed.
He doesn't provoke people, but it doesn't mean that he is afraid of people, his character is like this when he is reborn in this world, you respect me a foot and I will pay you a foot, he will not be soft on these enemies who smear him for no reason, but now is not the time.
However, Li Jie still underestimated the inferiority of human nature.
In this world, there are many people who will do anything to become famous.
Due to the constant questioning of the "crying caterpillar", more and more media and websites have joined the wave of crusade against Li Jie.
"Wolf Totem - Insulting My Chinese Culture"
"Conspiring Wolf Totem - The Cancer of Teenagers"
Get Out of the Literary Circle - This Society Doesn't Need Slaves Who Worship Foreign Men
These reviews use countless arguments to point out that Li Jie is a genius of packaging, and his experience is mentioned many times in the article, and it is impossible to write a novel like "Wolf Totem".
In addition, using the so-called conspiracy theory, it is vaguely pointed out that Li Jie is a cancer of teenagers, and it is clearly pointed out that the perspective given to readers in "Wolf Totem" is gray or black.
The most important point is that the poster has sinister intentions, not only exposing the experience of Li Jie's troops, but also portraying Li Jie as a traitor, a traitor, and an anti-human and anti-civilization social cancer.
I have to say that these comments are so influential that through the reports of several mainstream media, more than 100,000 reprints on the Internet overnight.
"Crying Caterpillar" became completely popular, and his fans increased by more than 300,000 in just a few days, which made him, a previously unknown third-rate writer, a defender of literature, a professional anti-counterfeiter and many other titles.
With the reporting of public opinion on the Internet, more and more websites have issued a lot of reports that are unfavorable to Ye Fan without knowing the truth.
"A despicable person would write such a cunning and vicious book" - the focus of the facts.
"Celebrating the Father's Immortality, Lu Martyrdom—— "Wolf Totem", a Novel of Militarism's Praise - Seven Degrees of Space.
"Confessions of a Clown" - Xinglang.com.
"The biggest scandal in the literary circle, who did the wolf totem defile" - reference news......
These online media all seem to have decided that "Wolf Totem" is a cancer in the literary world.
Many so-called experts and scholars desperately fell into the stone, as if Li Jie did not get out of the literary circle, this circle would be broken.
People are afraid of being famous, pigs are afraid of being strong, and a large part of the reason for this phenomenon is because of jealousy, Li Jie became famous too quickly, so that he became the target of many people, but he also became the object of envy of many people.
There has never been a shortage of idle people in this world, and some people will never achieve such achievements as Li Jie in their lives, two books have broken the record of online novels, and the subscription of the novel has sold an eye-popping result.
And once someone questions Li Jie, these people who are hidden in the shadows will jump out, they will not seek to verify the truth of the matter, as long as Li Jie is trampled down, their hearts will be balanced, which is also an important reason for the current situation.
Of course, the most important thing is the "crying caterpillar", this guy does everything, even if he goes online in order to become famous, he also wants to smear Li Jie.
