Chapter 49:-for-tat commentary
That night, before Xiao Fei began to climb the lattice, he read the newspaper sent to him by Wu Aizhen for a while.
He found that three articles he had submitted to the H Provincial Daily had also been published, and the position of each article was very eye-catching, either in the headline position or in the heart of the report.
In addition, it is illustrated.
This shows that his manuscript is treated as a heavyweight article in this edition.
At the end of the 90s, the evening newspaper and metropolitan newspaper system of later generations had not yet been formed, and the daily newspaper of a province was of course the top mouthpiece of the province.
As far as Xiao Fei knows, the number of subscriptions to the H Provincial Daily in the province is as high as more than 300,000 copies, and almost all administrative organs, industrial and mining, schools, and enterprises in the province are bound to subscribe.
So, its impact is also amazing.
Publish an article in the H Provincial Daily and within a few days you can extend your influence to the whole province.
Compared with the Z City Evening News, the influence of the provincial newspaper is not much greater.
This is also the main reason why Xiao Fei wants to submit his article to the H Provincial Daily.
He is now desperate to expand his influence and popularity, so it is inevitable to choose a bigger platform.
Not only the H Provincial Daily, but also the supplements of several newspapers in the capital, he also submitted manuscripts, such as the People's Daily, Beijing Evening News, and the People's Liberation Army Daily.
It's just that it hasn't been sent out yet.
Xiao Fei's current manuscripts are all local prose in the style of Liu Liang, closely related to a unique character, unique event, unique scenery, meaningful proverbs, folk customs, etc., in the countryside, using simple, quiet, rich and accurate language to describe it, and explore the true meaning of life in depth.
Because what is written is the scene around you.
is also because Xiao Fei is familiar with Liu Liangcheng's narrative sentences.
And he himself was reincarnated as a human being, and he also had a deeper understanding of life, fate, and everything that struggled to survive under the sky and on the earth.
Therefore, he writes very quickly, and he always writes a few articles a day.
After receiving his new batch of submissions, Liu Zelai, the editor of the Z City Evening News, quickly sent a letter, telling Xiao Fei that these small essays were very well written, timeless and long-lasting, and they were considered masterpieces, and he would publish them in Xiao Fei's column one after another.
Xiao Fei, who was affirmed, put down his nervousness.
After thinking about it again, he submitted 5 manuscripts to Zhang Chenggong, the editor of the Dahe supplement of the H Provincial Daily, and then tentatively submitted one article to each of several national newspaper supplements.
In fact, it is not very good to submit a paper like this.
If the author of the essay wants to become famous, he still has to open a column, open a column in a newspaper with great influence, and the publishing house will come to him to discuss the publication of the book.
And other media will also ask you for manuscripts one after another.
The road to fame and family is like this.
But Xiao Fei knew that with his current influence, it would be difficult to open a column in a major national newspaper, so he could only freely submit articles to conquer the mountain first, and then talk about it later.
In addition, Xiao Fei did not plan to write small manuscripts for a long time.
These are just expedient measures, if you want to shake the literary world and become famous, you need to have heavyweight works come out, which is a must!
Xiao Fei flipped through a few H Provincial Daily and took a cursory look at the articles he had published.
He was still very satisfied.
The sample newspaper that Wu Aizhen brought him was a whole newspaper, Xiao Fei flipped through it casually, and as a result, he saw something interesting.
What's the matter?
He was harshly criticized on the same page where he published his article.
The person who criticized him was called Yuan Grim.
There is also a note at the end of this person's article, which states that his identity is the vice president of the H Provincial College of Letters.
Yuan Yan is this person, Xiao Fei knows, he has met twice in his previous life, and he has been patted on the shoulder and encouraged, but there is no more intersection.
Xiao Fei has only occasionally heard people say that this person's character and literature are problematic, and he has done a lot of things to sweep the floor.
But he didn't expect that in this life, he had just come to his head, and Yuan's severe stick was aimed at his head and knocked down.
The title of Yuan's manuscript is this: "How Chicken Soup for the Soul-style Inspirational Becomes a Poisonous Weed".
In the article, Yuan Yan fired fiercely at Xiao Fei, believing that his total denial of the chicken soup style article was a typical ill-intentioned one, and listed ten major sins for Xiao Fei.
First, it grasped the so-called defects of some chicken soup articles and overturned a boatload of people with one rod, but in fact, the vast majority of chicken soup articles still have their historical positive significance!
Second, they do not understand that literature originates from the artistic refinement of life above life, selectively forgetting the advantages and strengths of chicken soup articles, only holding on to a certain point, infinitely magnifying their defects, purely satisfying and supporting, and singing against the mainstream social culture.
Third, grandstanding, pale arguments, and opposition for the sake of opposition.
Fourth, the author has sinister intentions and tries in vain to sabotage the development process of the new socialist literature......
In short, this draft can be said to have buttoned one big hat after another on Xiao Fei's head, full of shouting and shouting and killing, like a righteous face that wants to criticize you to death and fight and then step on 10,000 feet.
Xiao Feixin said, I'm damn! I don't seem to have offended you, have I?
Why are you so cruel to me?
And this manuscript is really empty, except for the fierce clamor and the criticism of the righteous and strict judge, it really didn't get to the point.
However, although Xiao Fei was depressed, he didn't take it to heart.
On the contrary, there was a little joy.
In the literary circle, if your work is published and no one pays attention to it, it is actually not a good phenomenon. Only when there is a fierce controversy with opposite arguments and opposite arguments, will it slowly be fried and fried, and the fame will be hyped up.
Xiao Fei thought to himself, if other famous people in the province joined in and made a noise, it would be even more perfect.
He just didn't think it was big enough now.
Xiao Fei slowly flipped through all the newspapers that Wu Aizhen brought, and then he found a few controversial criticism articles related to him.
Lu Jin, the editor-in-chief of the cultural section of the Z City Evening News, posted a-for-tat commentary on the culture section of the Z City Evening News.
Lu Jin refuted Yuan Yan's article criticizing Xiao Fei one by one.
The title of his article is "Chicken Soup for the Soul Becomes Poisonous Soup for the Soul."
Lu Jin believes that Xiao Fei's series of anti-soul chicken soup articles are actually very comprehensive, and Xiao Fei reminds everyone to be wary of chicken soup spoilage, rather than thinking that all chicken soup is poisonous soup.
It's just that with the proliferation of chicken soup articles, many authors and even famous writers have used the penmanship of novels, ignoring the reality of life, and made up a large number of so-called chicken soup-style motivational articles. These articles simply do not stand up to scrutiny, and many of them are one-sided and wrong at their core.
At first glance, these fake chicken soups are indeed eye-catching and thoughtful, but when you think about it carefully, they are not the same thing at all.
Lu Jin himself also cited several chicken soup articles to analyze them one by one, exposing their vain nature.
All in all, Lu Jin's article is still very convincing.
In addition to Lu Jin's article, Z City Evening News also selected dozens of letters from readers, publishing readers' reflections on the chicken soup article.
Xiao Fei found that several major media in the province had already vigorously discussed whether it was anti-chicken soup or chicken soup, and their own name was repeatedly mentioned by them.
