Chapter 2 Strange Literary Features
Out of the famous park, Yu Le waved his hand to Zhou Lun and said, "I'm in a bad mood, I'll go back first." ”
Zhou Lun persuaded: "Victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers. I'm sure you will. ”
Yu Le tugged at the corners of his mouth, and finally squeezed out a smile.
Riding his bike, he returned to the rental house dejectedly.
Lying on the bed, he was shocked to realize: the world is too crazy, and people's tastes in literature are too weird!
From memory, he found a diary under his pillow with his former poems.
He wondered, why was Zhou Lun so confident in him winning the championship?
Turn the first page, and there is a simple poem written on it:
The Sorrow of the Balls
Going too fast,
It's easy to pull off.
The skin of the egg is not broken,
Egg whites don't run,
The yolk does not fall apart.
Dandan's sorrow:
Egg yolk and egg white, when can you be stupidly indistinguishable?
Nima, is this a poem he wrote? It's just dirty ink!
How many times do you have to pull eggs to make up such a nutritious joke!
However, it was precisely this kind of unnutritious joke that allowed Yu Le to earn the first manuscript fee in his life, thus embarking on the nerves of no return for literature lovers.
Perhaps, you think that he was published in the pheasant newspaper, and the manuscript fee is only twenty or thirty yuan.
If you do, you're very wrong!
The poem was published in the third edition of the National Daily, in the "Moralist Observation" section.
As the mouthpiece of the government, the National Daily is a major national newspaper. Subscriptions are mandatory for all levels of government, even for companies and social groups, and it can be said that it is the largest newspaper in the universe in terms of sales.
You can imagine how popular it is to be able to publish poems in this newspaper.
It is precisely because of the publication of this poem that Yu Le won the first honor in his life - a rookie in the poetry world.
However, he does not value this kind of false name. Because the remuneration has shocked him: 11,880 yuan.
"The Sorrow of Dandan" plus the title, the whole poem has a word count of 44 words, and if you count punctuation, a total of 54 characters.
According to the number of words, each word is worth 270 yuan; According to the character calculation, the value of each word is only 220 yuan.
Well, Yule found that he must have been proud.
Otherwise, how could he feel very disappointed because of the calculation of characters, which made the price of each word drop from a high price of 270 yuan to a low price of 220 yuan!
Yu Le's article that reached the sky step by step, the editor of the "Moralist Observation" edition wrote a classic note:
The pain of life may be an inadvertent pull, and this pain is difficult to speak.
Yu Le uses metaphors and symbols to imply that people should not stop walking because they are afraid of. Rather, it is necessary to learn to be rare and confused, and then to appreciate the mysterious realm of life - chaotic nature.
This article allows the public to understand: the profound life philosophy and handling skills contained in Yu Le's song "The Sorrow of Dandan".
That year, the poem became a classic poem that everyone vied to memorize.
Yu Le, who tasted the sweetness, began to frequently submit articles to the "National Daily". It's a pity that his poems never hit the editor's high point again.
However, his poems were published in the National Daily, making his poems famous.
These poems, which were submitted to the National Daily but were not published, were actively published in the provincial newspapers of the provinces.
Although the manuscript fee was reduced to 100 yuan per word, Yu Le was relieved to think that it was just published in the provincial newspaper.
After all, the "National Daily" was distributed to thirty or forty provinces across the country, and only gave more than 200 yuan per word, while the provincial newspaper was more distributed in the province, but gave a word of 100 yuan, which can be said to be a skyrocketing value!
Turning the second page, there is a record of a poem he published in the Imperial Capital Provincial Newspaper:
The Voice
The sound of fart, snoring, grinding teeth, the sound of the ear, the sound of not listening, it is difficult to sleep;
Huang Wen, Ji Qing Wen, and Torture and Killing Articles, all of them touch the heart, and they don't read emptiness.
The editor of the Imperial Capital Provincial Newspaper also wrote a note on this "Voice":
, Volkswagen Avenues.
In the context of the dying of today's literary classics, the Internet has promoted the explosive development of literature, everyone is self-media, and everyone is a writer.
A person, no matter what kind of voice he makes, no matter what kind of article he writes, will be sought after by the audience, and then form a fashion.
The content of Yu Le's poem is short and concise, but it writes the voice of the public readers: Only you have it, we want, want, want!
For a time, the price of Yu Le's poems rose gradually. Even in poems published in provincial newspapers, the average price per word reached 200 yuan.
Don't think that prices are skyrocketing and money is worthless. In fact, Yu Le's parents, as employees of the enterprise, earn more than 200 yuan per month.
This is a country where literature is wealth, poetry changes fate, and the social status of writers is unattainable.
Once, when Yu Le thought that his parents worked hard to earn a salary of 200 yuan a month, he was shocked by the huge wealth contained in his head.
Perhaps, in the near future, he will be the richest man in the world.
One day, he had a dream.
In his dream, he found himself talking something incessantly, and the characters flying out of his mouth turned into banknotes, drowning and suffocating him.
"Ahh With a loud scream, Yu Le woke up.
At first, he searched around, but found that there were no coins around him, which made him depressed.
"Dreams are always illusory; But the wealth in the brain is the reality. ”
Yu Le swore that he would sing his praises to the universe, the world, life, love, animals, plants, and so on, and build the country of his dreams - the sea of money that could drown him, stun his tide of money, and overturn his money!
Closing the notebook, Yu Le planned to sort out his thoughts.
Because he found that when Park woke up, his brain was full of literature. Dai Wangshu's "Rain Alley" is one of them.
Closing his eyes, he found that he had a vast library of literature in his brain. The words made him intoxicated and fascinated.
Suddenly, he woke up.
No, these works of literature absolutely do not belong to this country and this world.
In the country where Yu Le is currently located, since Dongfang Shuo became a generation of writers, the literary style of the entire society has changed abruptly.
In the end, under the unanimous demand of the people, all other literature-related works were destroyed, and only the poetry of Wenzu Dongfang Shuo flourished, becoming a model sought after and imitated by literature lovers.
After thousands of years of development, the country's literary style has gradually become "ugly, strange, treacherous, vulgar, and dirty." ”
The poems written by Yu Le before were in line with the mainstream literary style of society, and were naturally favored by newspapers and sought after by readers.
As for the "Rain Alley" he made at the Park Poetry Meeting, it is obvious that it does not conform to this five-character mantra, so it is understandable that he was booed and scolded by the public.
