Big poisonous weed, big poisonous weed

The young woman's heart is constantly broken, Zhang Shaojie is a layman who specializes in writing about big poisonous weeds.

Ren Qing shook his head and said, "You don't understand!" From the moment the novel is created, the core soul is to please the reader! A novel that does not please the reader has deviated from the purest purpose of the novel! ”

Yao Xiaowen's eyes were round!

She felt that the world had collapsed, how could Grandpa Ren, who was supposed to have a few levels of art level higher than her, say good things about the big poisonous weeds?

Ren Qing pushed open the window and said, "It's all a sin made in a special era of ten years!" Not only is everyone fighting, but they are full of fire. The struggle between literati is also life and death! Some serious people, in the name of art, have turned a lot of popular people into poisonous weeds! What is a poisonous weed? -- What doesn't fit their aesthetic taste is called a poisonous weed! ”

Yao Xiaowen was incredulous and said, "Grandpa Ren, what do you mean?" To please the reader, right? ”

Ren Qing smiled: "There is no right or wrong in the work, there are only works that are suitable for you and works that are not suitable for you!" However, it is better to please the reader than to suppress dissidents in the name of exaltation, and to be the only one! A thousand thoughts, all kinds of art, I just ask, is the writing good? A writer who does not strive to write novels that readers think is good is playing hooligan! What the masses want to see, they don't bother to write, they are incompetent writers. The novelists of the whole country are not proud to write articles that the masses love to read, but are ashamed of the reading tastes of the ordinary people. What kind of spirit is this, looking down on the masses, thinking that the masses are vulgar and they themselves are elegant? ”

Yao Xiaowen lost her ability to think a little, and said weakly: "Then the author of "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty" is mercenary, but it is worth advocating?" ”

Ren Qing said categorically: "Better than most domestic writers, at least Zhang Shaojie is one, able to write works that readers find good-looking!" ”

The meaning of popular fiction is to write good-looking novels for the purpose.

Before the launch of the journal, the editorial department of "Ancient Legends" has received more than 100 manuscripts. Among them, the most important one is obviously from Zhang Shaojie's "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty". This work was transferred by Ba Jin to Ren Qing, the president.

And Ren Qing and others originally wanted to revise it, but they found that "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty" was very wonderful, and if they were reluctant to revise it, it might destroy the original style of the novel. Therefore, basically, the editorial department of "Ancient Legends" can be published directly after just checking the content a little.

After the reform and opening up, the publishing industry seems to be very relaxed, unless it is a political content of right and wrong, which is taboo. The vast majority of published subjects are in a laissez-faire situation.

For example, classical novels that have been criticized in a special era have been allowed to be published and sold. The Four Great Novels, the Three Heroes and the Five Righteousness, and other classical novels have become bestsellers in the market.

There is no precedent for new martial arts works such as "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty" to be published, but there is no explicit prohibition in policy.

Therefore, "Legends of the Ancient World" is in a policy blank area, playing a side game. Just like the period of reform and opening up, all walks of life are in general - crossing the river by feeling the stones, everything must be risky and cautious!

―――――――――――― world, whether it is novels, movies, or music, people are constantly arguing about the surnames of art and business. However, the mainstream view has been agreed that only the perfect combination of artistic and commercial surnames can become true classics.

The so-called commercial surname is to serve the aesthetic taste of readers, viewers, and listeners, while the artistic surname is to serve the aesthetic taste of the creator himself.

Pure art will only bend high and lose the vast majority of supporters.

The blind pursuit of commerce will lose its own style, and after a long time, it will disappear from everyone and drown in the tide of commercial works.

Zhang Shaojie is a literary and artistic young man who mainly writes commercially, but has also begun to pursue art.

Beyond has been playing art from the beginning, but they are looking for a balance between business and art!

Only since you have your own surname and can be accepted by the market, can you usher in success at that time!

Hong Kong. On the evening of October 20th. The beyond concert was a bit cold on the Lee stage.

Elune handsome Huang Jiaju and others came to the Lee Stage Theater early.

I waited for several hours, but when it came time for the concert to officially start, the audience was still sparse.

The Lee Stage was supposed to hold 1,500 spectators, but for many of the big stars, the venue seemed too small. But for the unknown Beyond band, such a big stage, with their appeal, it is difficult to fill the house.

At this time, more than 600 listeners, some of whom are accustomed to going to the Lee stage to watch the concert at night.

Some of them bought the wrong tickets, on September 21, Teresa Teng was a concert, but they bought the wrong date, so in order not to waste the tickets, they had to reluctantly enter.

Beyond took the stage, and Huang Jiaju, Ye Shirong, Deng Weiqian, Li Rongchao and others appeared first.

The first song is their original English rock song "Mansion":

“whenimwalkingdownthestreealltheglassboxesroundnroundohthatswhatihavetobearsuperbuildingcatchtheair”

The scene was in an uproar!

Instead of applauding, they shouted and scolded: "Damn, what a thing!" "Ghost crying wolf, still English song? "It's hard to hear, refund, refund!" I'm here to listen to Teresa Teng's song, and I bought the wrong ticket! "What the hell" More than 600 viewers almost made a fuss.

Huang Jiaju and others turned pale, the concert is over?

Seeing this backstage, Elune asked, "So how do you end up now?" ”

The management of the stage shook his head and said, "It's okay, the audience's emotions can be calmed down a little." After all, they're here to listen to the song! ”

Stage.

The host of the stage walked to the center of the stage and said, "Everyone is more tolerant of original rock music!" Beyond is a rare original band in Hong Kong, not only their original lyrics are very high, but more importantly, they are proficient in various styles of music, and they are true musicians who dare to challenge themselves. There aren't many opportunities to open your ears and listen to some music that is different from pop songs, so why resist these new things? ”

Under the comfort of the host, the audience began to calm down a lot.

Huang Jiaju and the others calmed down a little and began to sing the second song: "On the broken paper around me, the treasures of the Orient are recorded." Looking for my way under the fall, I am tired of the ruggedness everywhere. I heard a voice like the howl of the devil."

This "Treasure of the East" is a Chinese song. Although the style is more maverick, the audience no longer feels like the previous English rock song crying wolf.

Gradually, Huang Jiaju and others wrote original songs one by one, and the audience gradually felt that they were acceptable.

However, because beyond, whether it is the aura on stage or the song, it has not really moved the audience. Because these young people who love music are far from reaching maturity!

The last song, Huang Jiaju said: "The last song is Mr. Zhang Shaojie's "Cangyang Gyatso Love Song", which is also a rock song. Teresa Teng sang this song once in the United States. Later, Mr. Zhang Shaojie authorized us to cover it. I know that some of you only come to listen to us because you bought the wrong ticket. This one, I don't know if everyone can feel satisfied, but we think it can be regarded as a tribute to Teresa Teng! ”

When the last song "Cangyang Gyatso Love Song" was sung by the beyond group.

Although it is not as flavorful as Teresa Teng, the audience still gave these young people a sparse applause.

This concert, although not very successful.

Longteng Entertainment Brokerage Company invested 10,000 yuan, only recovered 6,000 yuan of tickets, and lost 4,000 yuan.

And everyone in the beyond band only received more than 800 yuan in dividends. Much less than previously expected.

However, in fact, the loss on the surface is nothing!

In fact, there are hundreds of listeners, and listening to beyond singing in an official concert can be regarded as a familiar face in the music industry!

In the music industry, talent is very important, but popularity is also very important.

A singer only needs to have two or three thousand die-hard fans, and whenever they release a record or hold a concert, the die-hard fans are willing to cheer for it. Then, a singer can basically mix in the market.

And ordinary singers, such as beyond, because they don't have hardcore fans, even if they hold a concert on the Li stage, in addition to being empty and only a few hundred people present, they are even more booed.

"You don't have to be sad to pull it!" Elune said, "Now you're only in your teens, early twenties. There is still a long way to go. Although it may not necessarily cater to the market completely, wouldn't it be the best of both worlds to create something and combine art and commerce perfectly? ”

"Yes!"

Huang Jiaju and the others nodded humbly, and they were very respectful of Elune's guidance.

After the setbacks of this concert, they also know that they are still a little too tender now.

First, their songs are not yet accepted by mainstream fans, and second, they are not like big stars such as Teresa Teng, who respond to every call and hold a concert, at least tens of thousands of people are eager to buy tickets, resulting in a situation where it is difficult to find a ticket!
