Chapter 303: Journey to the West and Romance of the Three Kingdoms

The traditional literary school and the popular literary school have always been very opposed, in one way or another.

The reason why Chen Qingxuan directly asked Tao Mangzhong a question that was difficult to summarize was that he hoped to see Tao Mangzhong say the wrong thing and have problems in the summary.

Once Tao Mangangzhong made a mistake, a few journalists around him were not amused here, they all used the pen to muddy the water to make money, and they can make you muddy and black muddy water, they can turn you white, so public figures with no background are particularly taboo to be targeted by journalists.

Everyone present was not stupid, so they all knew the purpose of Chen Qingxuan's question.

The newly promoted writers of several traditional factions all smiled faintly in their hearts after hearing Chen Qingxuan's question, because they knew that there was a good show to watch, and as people from the traditional literary faction, they were very happy to see people from the popular faction make a fool of themselves.

Unlike the people of the traditional faction, several people in the popular literature faction have a trace of worry, they have already lost in terms of numbers, and if they are unfavorable in the first battle, then this elegant gathering, the popular faction will be ashamed.

It would be even more disadvantageous if some of the journalists present had been given the leverage.

However, just when people from several popular factions were worried, Tao Mangzhong's remark that avoided the important and trivialized instantly dispelled the worries of the new members of several popular factions.

"I want to hear about it." Hearing that Tao Mangzhong avoided the most prone to summary mistakes, Chen Qingxuan said with a faint smile.

Chen Qingxuan's words fell, and there were a few slight clicks of cameras taking pictures in the private room, and several news copywriters were quickly recording the content of the conversation here through a notebook.

Qi Ming was very interested in how Tao Mangzhong would answer at this time, so he couldn't help but listen attentively, as did several other newly promoted writers.

Feeling that everyone in the private room was paying attention to him, Tao Manzhong did not panic at all, but his face was still calm.

Then, Tao Mengzhong looked at Qi Ming intentionally or unintentionally. Then he said, "As we all know, our traditional Chinese literature is vast, profound, and eternal, which contains the infinite wisdom of the ancient sages and infinite compassion and benevolence for future generations, and through the ideas of Confucianism, Taoism, and Buddhism, it tells us that future generations will share the glory and disgrace of the universe, life, and all things, and the law of interdependence, which will not be transferred by anyone's will at any time." ”

But now, thousands of years later, there are very few such high-quality traditional works, and they can even be said to be extinct. The problem lies in many traditional masters. Because we do not have the ability to fully understand the wisdom of the ancient sages, we can only stand on the shoulders of giants and use our knowledge to comprehend, as if those who have never been to the top of the mountain will never be able to experience the feeling of looking down on the earth from the top of the mountain. ”

"In my opinion, our traditional Chinese literature and popular literature should also keep pace with the times, and we should not be rigid anymore, and there will be new branches and leaves in every period. But everything is not changing, if we don't change, the future status of the literary world will be very embarrassing, but fortunately. In the past two years, a new genre has emerged in our popular faction, that is, the martial arts genre, but unfortunately, traditional literature seems to have been the same for decades. Not much has changed. ”

Tao Mengzhong's passage is very long, but it is very short, because the literary heritage of thousands of years has been summarized by him in a few paragraphs. And he also pointed out the shortcomings of traditional literature, that is, there is no innovation and change, which can be regarded as a direct and positive answer to Chen Qingxuan's question, and intentionally or unintentionally gave this handsome young woman a resounding slap.

It was very quiet in the private room, especially after Tao Manzhong's statement, it was even quieter in the private room.

Qi Ming heard Tao Mengzhong's words from the beginning, and listened very carefully.

When Tao Mengzhong's words fell and the private room fell into silence, Qi Ming took the lead and began to applaud, coming to the private room for such a while, Tao Mengzhong's words were the most refreshing to Qi Ming's ears.

Qi Ming's applause rang out, and several new popular faction writers' association members around Qi Ming also hurriedly began to applaud, and then some surrounding journalists also began to applaud, and there were also two cheers of "well said".

Listening to the applause in the private room, Chen Qingxuan's delicate face was finally not flat, but showed a trace of warm anger, as a party concerned, she naturally knew how loud Tao Mengzhong slapped her, but she knew very well that she couldn't let out the anger in her heart, because what Tao Mengzhong said was exactly what many newspapers said recently, traditional literature needs to be reformed!

After listening to Tao Mengzhong's statement, Hong Li's expression on his face was still the same, but the hand he grabbed the armrest of the chair a little hard just now betrayed his heart.

Several new writers in the traditional literary faction were not as calm as Chen Qingxuan and Hong Li, and they all wrote anger on their faces.

"It's very good, but Mr. Tao seems to have forgotten one thing, in the past hundred years, popular literature has always been lower than traditional literature, whether it is the popularity or popularity of literary works, even if it is the recent popularity of popular literature IP has been hyped, but it still can't be compared with traditional literature, does this mean that even if popular literature has innovated, it is still inferior to traditional literature?" Chen Qingxuan concealed the anger in his heart, first led the traditional faction to clap his hands and say that he spoke well, and then immediately counterattacked Tao Mengzhong's words.

When several newcomers from the traditional faction heard this, they immediately put away the anger on their faces, although Chen Qingxuan was clapping his hands in his hands, but his face showed a look of contempt and disdain.

In the first game, under the contest between Tao Mengzhong and Chen Qingxuan, it was a tie.

Tao Manzhong was right, but Chen Qingxuan was also right.

In the past 100 years, popular literature schools have been inferior to traditional literary schools, both in terms of number and value of works.

Although the IP of popular literature has been very hot recently, its value is even worse than that of similar traditional literary works.

The applause stopped, and the room regained its calm, but the smell of gunpowder was noticeably stronger.

"Since Ms. Chen despises popular literature so much, I don't know what your opinion is on popular literature? Your summary is also very valuable for the newcomers to the Writers' Association this time. Tao Mangzhong was not annoyed by Chen Qingxuan's words, but threw back the pot that Chen Qingxuan had thrown to him earlier.

As soon as Tao Mengzhong finished saying this, Qi Ming and everyone turned their eyes to Chen Qingxuan, quietly waiting for her answer.

"I don't have a deep opinion on popular literature, but one thing is for sure. Such as the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Journey to the West and other popular books are immeasurable, but modern popular literature does not have the connotation of these masterpieces, but is full of killing and revenge, which in my opinion is very unfavorable to the public, because popular literature itself is a pastime reading, but the current popular literature is too angry, which has a certain psychological impact on some people who are new to literary works, so I think popular literature needs a big innovation more than our traditional literature! Chen Qingxuan Shi Ran said.

After saying this, there was warm applause from the traditional literature side, and some surrounding journalists also clapped their hands in agreement.

"Popular literature is very aggressive. But isn't that what traditional literature is? Does true traditional literature teach puppy love? Will you teach people to have extramarital affairs? After Chen Qingxuan finished speaking, Tao Mengzhong directly refuted back.

What Tao Mengzhong said was exactly what Qi Ming was thinking, so Qi Ming couldn't help but clap his hands, and several new writers' assistants next to Qi Ming also clapped excitedly.

In the second round, there was a tie in the degree.

However, although it is a tie, some journalists around are very excited and happy, because these are news materials, and when the time comes, Chen Qingxuan and Tao Mengzhong will be thrown out to make a comparison, which will definitely cause heated discussions among famous artists on both sides of the traditional and popular sides. It can also arouse heated discussions among readers who love popular literature or traditional literature.

Tao Mengzhong and Chen Qingxuan both sat in their positions after fighting, and their faces were very calm.

Seeing this scene, Qi Ming roughly felt that the topic had already arisen in the mouths of Tao Manzhong and Chen Qingxuan, and then it was time for the newcomers to play. This play will also be a play that determines the value of you as a person.

Sure enough, as soon as Qi Ming's idea came up, a new writers' association member on the traditional literature side spoke, and the surrounding journalists also showed a look of watching a good show. Apparently they knew what was going to come next.

"After listening to the debate between the two seniors, I Liu Cheng benefited a lot, and I believe that the people who are here and who are new to the Writers' Association like me are also the same. However, I think that what you said is too one-sided, and no matter what you say, it is impossible to reverse the fact that popular literature is inferior to traditional literature. The self-proclaimed newcomer to Liu Cheng's traditional faction said.

"What do you mean by that?" Liu Cheng of the traditional faction was about to continue, but was interrupted by a man beside Qi Ming.

"There is growth in debate, what is your name? Why was he so reckless when he first entered the Writers' Association! Don't you know that you will be speaking after listening to the other party's views? As soon as the man beside Qi Ming finished speaking, Hong Li beside Chen Qingxuan spoke.

"Does Mr. Hong feel the need to get involved in the affairs between juniors? Debate itself is about strife, and isn't that the purpose of our gathering this time? Mei Desheng, who was beside Tao Mengzhong, spoke.

Then, Mei Desheng smiled calmly and asked the man next to Qi Ming, "What's your name?" ”

"My name is Mei Yifan, pen name: Three feet of snow." The man beside Qi Ming spoke, with a little excitement in his tone.

After hearing this, Mei Desheng smiled again and said, "With my fellow sect, you first put what you want to say in your heart, and it's not too late to talk about it after listening to Liu Chengxiaoyou's opinion on the other side, but I appreciate your outspoken courage." ”

Mei Yifan's face showed joy after hearing this, and then he happily sat back in his seat.

"Say whatever you want to say, Yaju itself is a debate, and I also appreciate your character." Seeing Mei Yifan sitting back in his seat, Chen Qingxuan opened his mouth and said to Liu Cheng.

Liu Cheng received Chen Qingxuan's praise, and suddenly his face showed disdain for Qi Ming's side, and then he continued to speak, "Everything I said is well-founded, not far, take the recent film and television adaptations of literary works, a total of more than 40 new dramas have been broadcast before and after the summer vacation, of which a total of 27 are adapted from literary works. ”

"Of the 27 TV series adapted from literary works, there are 17 traditional literature and 10 popular literature.

"Before the adaptation, the influence of the essay works themselves, the influence of seventeen traditional literary works is greater than the influence of ten popular literary works, and the TV series after the adaptation of these works, the comprehensive ratings and popularity, the adaptation of traditional literary works is higher and hotter than the TV series changed by popular literature, is this traditional literature superior?"

"And most importantly, in terms of the number of people we gathered here, is our traditional literature winning in degree?"

"Finally, there is one more point, the ratings created by the TV series adapted by Senior Chen's [Love Me One More Time] and Senior Hong's [Lover, Lover], I think everyone here should know more or less, and Senior Tao's TV series adapted from your work [叱咤西山], I don't think I need to say much, does this mean that in our small circle, our traditional literature wins at one time?"

"So after comprehensive consideration, I took the liberty to say what I said before, but what I said is the truth, and also, please don't worry about my junior, I take your work out, it's just to make a comparison, and there is no other meaning."

After saying this, Liu Cheng sat down on the seat and said that he was finished.

After listening to Liu Cheng's loud and quiet sycophant, Chen Qingxuan and Hong Li both showed satisfied smiles, and for the series of data listed by Liu Cheng, both of them were extremely satisfied, because the data said everything.

Immediately afterwards, Chen Qingxuan and Hong Li both took the lead in applauding Liu Cheng, and the surrounding journalists also recorded the scene of Liu Cheng's debate just now.

While applauding, Chen Qingxuan and Hong Li also looked at Tao Mangzhong, wanting to see what Tao Mangzhong's expression would be after listening to Liu Cheng's speech, after all, it was not good to be scarred by a junior who said that the ratings of the work were not good.

What's more, the authors of the two dramas [Love Me One More Time] and "Lover, Lover", which have much higher ratings than Tao Mangzhong's work [Soaring West Mountain], were also present, so this is simply not only revealing the scars, but also sprinkling salt on the scars.

Chen Qingxuan and Hong Li, who thought that Tao Mangzhong was a little angry even if he could bear it, were very surprised that they did not see the slightest displeasure on Tao Mangzhong's face, but they saw Tao Mangzhong with a faint, inexplicable smile on his face, and looked at a young man sitting not far from him casually, as if he was not only not angry about what Liu Cheng said, but also very happy.

Seeing Tao Mengzhong's expression, Chen Qingxuan and Hong Li couldn't help but feel very confused, and then they also looked at the young man Tao Mengzhong was looking at, but except for feeling a little familiar, they didn't delve too deeply, but quietly waited to see what the new writers association on the popular literature side would say.
