According to Li Kuo's current popularity, even if he releases a piece of, there will be people who will pay attention, and many people will watch and wait carefully. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Not to mention the second in the current trilogy.
From the time when Li Kuo planned to release the trilogy, there were too many people waiting for this trilogy, waiting for these books, not to mention after the fire of "White Deer Plain".
"White Deer Plain" is now impeccable and impeccable in terms of both word-of-mouth and sales, so when everyone sees that Li Kuo's second novel is about to be released, there is no need to say much about the expectations in their hearts.
The second part of Li Kuo's so-called trilogy has a propaganda poster on Li Kuo's meager life, and in the center of the propaganda poster, there are a few big words: "Red Sorghum Family".
The key word of this book is called "endless".
The first part of the trilogy that Li Kuo said before, the keyword is: family.
The results after that book are obvious to everyone, whether it is in terms of word-of-mouth or sales, it is enough.
So what kind of book will this be in the next book, the key word is endless?
In terms of name, this is indeed very Chinese, after all, this sorghum always gives people a sense of Chinese characteristics, and when it comes to sorghum, you can also think of many traditional intentions.
"The Red Sorghum Family? This name sounds much more Chinese than "White Deer Plain", but I don't know how Li Kuo will write it next, I hope it can reach the level of "White Deer Plain" or even surpass it! ”
"White Deer Plain" is now a benchmark work in traditional literature in recent years.
What's more, this is still a novel by Li Kuo, so many people will use "White Deer Plain" as a work to measure the level of Li Kuo's new book.
However, there are still almost two months before the release of the new book, and there is still a lot of time to wait in these two months.
Of course, in fact, another new book appeared in two months, which is incredible to other authors, and often becomes synonymous with shoddy production, but on Li Kuo's body, everyone just has a strong confidence, and always feels that Li Kuo should be able to accomplish this.
In everyone's expectation, Li Kuo's new book is actually almost finished.
After all, this book is actually only 130,000 words, if it is really released, it can be regarded as a very small number of words in all Li Kuo's novels, and Li Kuo just transcribed it, and then changed some backgrounds, changed some things that are not in line with this time and space, it is not too difficult, and it will not take too long.
Now "Red Sorghum Family" is a complete electronic version, and it is already in full swing to prepare for production and publicity.
Li Kuo's previous trilogy, what kind of three books are the three books have been considered.
The first and third books are all about what happened on the Loess Plateau, which also mentions many people living on this land and their past events, two books are from the era of "White Deer Plain" before, and the third book is written about the exciting years of the seventies and eighties.
These are all things that Li Kuo has thought through.
As for the second book in this trilogy, it is "The Red Sorghum Family", one of the best novels of the past.
This book is set against the backdrop of the Anti-Japanese War and the folk life in Gaomi Northeast Township in the 30s and 40s of the 20th century, but the series of anti-Japanese heroes portrayed in the story are the embodiment of justice and evil. The protagonist Yu Zhanao is a hot-blooded man, and his body is full of justice and barbarism.
After reading this book, it feels the same as the movie version, that is, it can give people a sense of exuberant vitality, and Yu Zhanao of the façade is definitely not a good person, but impulsive and savage...... But it's such a Yu Zhanao, who gives people that feeling.
Mr. Mo Yan's novel creates a world of the Red Sorghum family on the edge of ethics and morality, describing a kind of bandit-like heroes, who do all the bad things but also serve the country, they love each other, fight bravely, and are full of the atmosphere of the times that is both deviant and infinitely vigorous......
In 1988, the film "Red Sorghum" won the Golden Bear Award at the 38th Berlin International Film Festival, becoming the first Chinese film to win this award.
Later, Hong Kong published "Selected Novels of the Chinese mainland in the Eighties", the first volume of which was edited by Hong Kong writer Xi Xi, and the book was translated into more than 20 languages and became popular all over the world, and the influence of this book on many Chinese writers was far-reaching and widespread......
This novel is actually not as good as "White Deer Plain" in some places, but the storytelling and attraction to people, as well as the freshness of the language, really surpass "White Deer Plain".
As for the differences between this novel and "White Deer Plain", there are certainly still many differences, but there are still commonalities in the kind of national characteristics of the Chinese described in it. Of course, "White Deer Plain" describes more of the traditional relationship between large families, while "Red Sorghum Family" focuses more on describing individuals.
The book also has that Latin American magician style, and some things are still the same......
Li Kuo chose this book, but also changed the place to describe the story.
Now "Red Sorghum Family" is also in the hands of the new publishing house, and now these publishing houses have always refused to come to Li Kuo's novels, but they are afraid that Li Kuo will not give them, and they are never afraid that they will not be able to eat the big contract for cooperating with Li Kuo in novels.
In this way, Li Kuo changed to a new publishing house in "Red Sorghum Family", and the new publishing house was mainly to solve the problem of equal interests, and could not let all the benefits be eaten up by one publishing house, which was indeed not conducive to Li Kuo's reputation and other ways to get along with others.
The new publishing house is a relatively large and old publishing house, called "Beidou Press", which was obviously a state-owned publishing house back then, and still has resources that many other publishing houses can hardly grasp.
It's just that this is the official publishing house, and it is not as good as "White Deer Plain" in terms of the contracts given, of course, this also has something to do with the word count of "Red Sorghum Family".
The contract of the new publishing house has been negotiated, and the copyright fee is 1.2 million, because it has to be linked to the number of words, so the price is not so high, but this 1.2 million is enough.
The next thing is to wait for the specific release of this book, and during this time, Li Kuo handed over more communication issues with the Beidou Printing House to Zou Pinqing. (To be continued.) )
