Chapter 168: On the Fall of Leifeng Tower
The most powerful literati in ancient times could write nearly 100 poems on a pot of wine, which is the legendary 100 poems of fighting wine.
There are some literary masters in the Republic of China who can write dozens of articles in response to the topic in a very short period of time, which is on the one hand the eagerness of these masters, but more importantly, the embodiment of their profound knowledge.
All those who can do this are the most powerful people in Chinese history, they are heroes, they are national scholars, and they are the ones who don't know how many years will come out.
Now Govyn has done the same!
In the decades since the founding of the People's Republic of China, there has never been such a thing in China's literary circle: a writer frantically publishes novels in newspapers and magazines within a few days, and no matter which of these novels is produced, it will be the first-rate work in China.
If you are not a professional author, you will not understand the difficulty at all!
If you don't have to be a professional writer, you won't know what this means!
This guy is a fucking genius!
Looking at a certain science fiction novel written by Govyn in front of them, many people couldn't help but burst out with such foul language while admiring it.
Envy, jealousy, hatred!
It is not without suspicion that Govyn's works may have been written a long time ago, but even then, it is impossible for ordinary writers to ensure that all of them are as good as "The Country Teacher" and as engaging as "The Broken Heart".
Creation is actually a very hard job, the scratching of ears and cheeks when there is no inspiration. The depression and grievance when the mind is stuck, how can ordinary people understand? Even if a work is completed, it may not be recognized by the editor and the reader...... Even Govyn himself. When he first started to write, he also suffered numerous setbacks, and the waste manuscripts he wrote at the beginning of the practice of writing still fill one of his drawers.
Although it is not the Three Kingdoms now, although he is not Zhou Yu, many writers still have a sense of powerlessness-
He is born and bright!
Then, with the deepening of thinking, quite a number of writers finally faced up to science fiction literature, a very new and unique literary form.
Then articles about the analysis and discussion of the structure and charm of Gowen's science fiction novels appeared in newspapers and magazines, and the authors of these articles were basically from the literary world.
Since everyone has worked hard to learn the various literary systems and ideas that have poured into China from the West in order to create better works, this originated from China. How can we let go of the precious artistic structures and thinking that originate from Chinese science fiction?
Since 1979, the controversy over whether science fiction literature is surnamed "science" or "literature" has been going on for four years, in this lonely war in the science fiction world. There was no reaction from the mainstream literary community, which seems like an incredible thing.
However, if you know that the creators of previous science fiction novels are all authors in the field of popular science, most of the science fiction works are very rough in art and have low readability. The literary quality is even worse when it is even worse. You know why, when the science fiction world wagging its tail pathetically to the literary world, no one wants to deal with it.
But now it's really different, "The Country Teacher" gave the literary world a taste of the artistic charm of science fiction for the first time, and "The Sadder" went a step further to let them know that a good science fiction novel can achieve the same artistic charm and literary appeal as any pure literary work.
And then there is this sudden explosion of a series of science fiction novels, although these science fiction novels express different themes and ideas, but the artistry, literature and readability of the novels are really incomparable, the kind of vastness and profundity that only science fiction can perfectly express. It is very enviable to those of them in the so-called literary world!
It's all good work!
……
……
Since ancient times, literati have been light, and perhaps some people in the literary world will feel pressure when they see such a Gewen. Even jealousy, but for the public and ordinary readers, such a Govin is what everyone expects!
Damn, there are so many novels! This month, Lao Tzu is finally not lonely!
Yes, these science fiction novels are a feast for them about reading, and this is a visual feast for them!
Of course, Govine's outburst also made a considerable number of readers very dissatisfied with him, and the most slanderous point they were -
Why not publish them in the same magazine or newspaper?
Reform and opening up has only begun for a few years, at this time people's living standards are still very poor, although everyone is crazy like culture, like knowledge, but the limitations of material conditions make everyone unable to buy their favorite books and magazines according to their own wishes. For the vast majority of readers, a newspaper or a magazine is already a luxury consumption. What's more, people only buy when they see a work that they really like.
But this science fiction novel written by Govin is scattered in various magazines and newspapers in bits and pieces, how can you make these readers who can only buy one or even two or three magazines and newspapers embarrassed?!
Pain and happiness!
……
……
In just three or four days, Govyn's science fiction novels were collectively unveiled in open publications, which made the critics, who had only been concerned with resolving internal theoretical disputes, have no time to pay attention to science fiction novels.
Leaving aside the silent commentators, the main voices of the critics are anti-science fiction.
Although many people do not continue to criticize science fiction now, this does not mean that they have given up attacking the science fiction community. It's just that they don't have the time and energy because of the controversy within the critics.
Add to that the provocation of the little villain Govin (for those die-hard critics of the older generation, Govin is the main culprit in the internal controversy within the critics!). Many critics have already made up their minds that when the critics settle down, they must teach Govine a hard lesson. Let him know the consequences of offending the critics! Let him know the true power of the world of criticism!
But before they could start acting, Gowen's counterattack came in a majestic manner!
"Chinese Sun", "Red China", "Survival Experiment", "Poetry Cloud", "Full Band Blocking Interference", "Song of Life", "Walking for Heaven", "Judge", "Earth Fire", "Morning Hearing Dao", ......
Historically, the most critical reason critics have attacked science fiction is that they insist that science fiction is not literature. Science fiction should belong to the popular science community.
It is precisely because of this point of view that when critics comment on a science fiction work, they always revolve around whether the scientific fiction in the work is valid, such as "whether selfishness can be inherited", "whether dinosaurs can be resurrected", "whether clones have a paternal psychological structure", and so on.
The science fiction writers who try to refute it are limited to the atmosphere of popular science discourse by critics, so they can only stay away from literature and refute the rationality of these fictions one by one.
In such a situation, how could science fiction writers win? So they can only go further and further. The darker it gets.
In addition, the science fiction industry at this time was in its infancy, and the authors of those science fiction novels were basically science fiction fans who liked science fiction outside the popular science and literary circles, so most science fiction works in this era were very rough in art. In terms of readability, it cannot attract low-level readers, and in terms of literature, it is not worth mentioning to high-level readers, which makes the view that "science fiction belongs to the popular science world" more able to win the recognition of the public.
But now it's different!
Govyn's science fiction novels are artistic, readable, and literary, in every sense of the word. All of them are outstanding works of literature.
The dream of "Chinese Sun". The reflection on the Cultural Revolution in "Red China", the environmental concern and human nature in "Survival Experiment", the exploration of the value of life in "Poetry Cloud", the strong patriotic sentiment in "Full Band Blocking and Interference", the reflection on intelligent life in "Song of Life", the prospect of genetically modified technology and the satire of realism in "Walking for Heaven", the religious discussion in "The Inquisitor", and the love of work and the spirit of contribution to the country and the people in "Earth Fire". The pursuit of scientific truth is celebrated in the "Chaowen Dao......
All of these contain great artistic charm and literary characteristics!
Look at these novels. Who would dare to say that science fiction is just a popular science work? Who would dare to pat their chests and say that science fiction doesn't fit in with the literary world?
Therefore, while writers in the literary world are admiring and writing articles one after another to express their love for Gowen's novels, those critics in the critical world who have criticized and even criticized science fiction can only quietly shrink in the corner, gritting their teeth and drawing circles.
They were really helpless this time.
They could only watch with aback as things unfolded in the direction they least wanted to see.
Every piece of science fiction that appears in the open media is a resounding slap in the face!
Every article that agrees with the idea that science fiction is a work of literature is a slap in the face!
Bang Bang Bang ......
Critics are silent!
Dangdangdang......
The critics are dumbfounded!
……
……
Looking at these science fiction novels of Govyn published in newspapers and magazines, every science fiction fan, every science fiction author, knows that they have won a battle in this war - and the critics have finally been wiped out!
In this debate over whether science fiction literature is a surname or a surname, mainstream science fiction writers and authors who are engaged in science fiction creation on the front line almost all agree that science fiction is a literary style, but they are alone.
The criticism of the critics, the scientific community, and the popular science community weighed down like three mountains, and they were exhausted in this criticism, although the science fiction community was prosperous before 83 years, but who knows the pressure they suffered? Who knows how much time they have delayed and how many science fiction works they have created because they are busy fighting against these three mountains?
Now that it was finally healed, one of the three mountains had been broken by Govin alone. (To be continued.) (To be continued.) )
PS: This is the first chapter of today, and the second chapter will have to wait until tomorrow morning. Reason: The mother-in-law of the rebel child is here, and she is the relative she said yesterday, and she will be there for the next few days. The Internet cable at home is installed in the guest room, and the elderly are also resting in this guest room. By the time the rebel finished the second chapter, the old man had already fallen asleep, and he was really embarrassed to break in and upload it. Please forgive me.
