Chapter 328 Cultural Exchange

Next chapter

Su Wen said that the big people he had seen went to sea.

What is the head of the Imperial Writers Association, Shui Tianyi, the first person in the imperial poetry circle, but compared with the person introduced by Liu Chunyu, the meaning is a little different.

Because this person is an official person, a high-ranking official, to be exact.

It's not that Su Wen hasn't seen big officials, when he won the championship of the middle school student competition that day, there were many high-ranking officials at the award ceremony, and those big names could be staggering if they came up with a title.

Even when he received the award, the imperial prime minister and the crown prince of the imperial family presented him with awards, shook hands, and talked, all of which were carried out one by one, and he can be regarded as a person who has seen the world.

However, that kind of Cheng dù is not in-depth, the so-called conversation is nothing more than a word or two of encouragement from them, and he can only be regarded as polite and polite except for saying thank you or thank you.

Today is different, this high-ranking official is in Liu Chunyu's office, sitting at the top, making a gesture of being close to receiving well-known literati, which makes Su Wen a little nervous.

Because the person who came is the deputy minister of the Ministry of Culture!

There are many departments in the Chinese Empire, and the person in charge is the minister of the department, such as the Ministry of Education, which is headed by the Minister of Education, and there are two or three secondary ministers below who are responsible for assisting the minister.

The deputy minister of the Ministry of Culture, if nothing else, just said that he was in charge of the cultural affairs of the empire, so that all those engaged in the cultural industry did not dare to offend. Oh, don't say offended, even lower your posture and look like you're low-browed. Of course, that is more of a cultural businessman's gesture, and many pretentious literati do not necessarily bird these officials.

However, Su Wen, a well-known literati, is not a pretentious person, and his ambition tells him that he can't be a giant in the literary world behind closed doors, not to mention that he also has a small publishing house under his name, which makes him a little unable to let go when facing officials of the Ministry of Culture.

What is the equivalent of the deputy minister of the Ministry of Culture, Su Wen thought of the level of a deputy minister-level official in his previous life!

The deputy minister of the Ministry of Culture in front of him is named Wen Donglai, and he looks like he is forty or fifty years old. The face is full of red light, he looks young, and he looks kind. There is a kind of indifferent temperament of a literati.

When Liu Chunyu introduced the origin of this person, Su Wen was really taken aback. He turned out to be a descendant of Wen Tianxiang!

He is the same brother as the prime minister, and at the age of more than 40, he sat on the position of vice minister of the Ministry of Culture, and his future is unlimited.

This made Su Wen have to sigh, the civil and military saints of this world are too great, and the descendants of Ze are almost thousands of years old, and they can still help future generations, so that they can surpass countless people from the www.biquge.info of Biqu Pavilion.

Don't underestimate the traditional notions of this era. As a large empire, Huaxia has a very strong conservative force, these families have been in business for hundreds of thousands of years, and have resources that are much stronger than others.

Otherwise, why did the Wen family produce so many prime ministers, and why did they occupy such a large weight on the political map of China. Although they did not replace the Zhao royal family, as a constitutional monarchy, after so many years of operation by various domestic forces, the position of prime minister is the most powerful person in the country.

Therefore, the Wen family of the prime minister's professional household is the first family.

Wen Donglai was born in the Wen family, and of course his cultivation and bearing are high, so he came in from Su Wen. To Liu Chunyu's introduction, and then to sit down separately after shaking hands with Su Wen, he maintained a faint smile. Be polite and measured.

Facing such a handsome old guy with an ungodly temperament, Su Wen was really a little nervous, and he couldn't guess the other party's intention for coming to the door for a while.

Although the Ministry of Culture is in charge of cultural undertakings, Su Wen couldn't think of any business that he could do with the deputy minister of the Ministry of Culture after thinking about it for a long time, and he looked up to him too much!

It's not that Su Wen is arrogant, it's just that he is not qualified to be an equal to the other party at this time.

Thinking of this, Su Wen took the lead in breaking the silence and asked directly, "Minister Wen." I heard Director Liu say that you have something to discuss with me, but I don't know what is going on? ”

Wen Donglai still smiled. But he didn't answer the question: "Su Caizi is really young and promising, and he is talented." It can be described as a young talent. When I was your age, I could only read other people's books, but I couldn't write anything for others to read. ”

Just listen to this, but you can't take it seriously, Su Wen hurriedly and humbly said that he had won the award.

Wen Donglai restrained his smile instead, and said, "I'm really not overrated, I'm telling the truth." Otherwise, I wouldn't have come to you today. ”

Su Wen felt a little confused and confused.

Wen Donglai glanced at him and continued to smile: "Okay, I won't go around in circles, let's get straight to the point." On behalf of the Sino-Foreign Cultural Exchange Center of the Ministry of Culture, I came to discuss some matters with you. ”

"A Sino-foreign cultural exchange center?" Su Wen was even more confused, he didn't know what was going on with this thing at all.

Seeing this, Liu Chunyu hurriedly stood up to help explain.

It turns out that in the past thirty or forty years, Western culture and science and technology have a tendency to catch up with China or even catch up, and even if the boss empire is no longer willing, it must pinch its nose and admit that Europe and America have surpassed China in some aspects, and the gap is still getting bigger and bigger.

Huaxia lags behind others in these aspects, of course, it is not willing to admit defeat, but fortunately, Huaxia people are the best at absorbing other cultures to nourish themselves.

As a result, the Ministry of Culture took the lead in setting up a program for the exchange of culture with foreign countries, including music, fine arts, and so on.

The form of this exchange is more complicated, but it is relatively simple, that is, to find out the potential works of the country, translate them into foreign languages, and when communicating with foreign industry professionals, promote them and sell them in foreign markets, so as to give voice to the domestic literary and artistic circles.

Of course, it is simple to say, but it is more cumbersome to do, for example, translation, it is necessary to organize a lot of manpower and material resources to do this, and it cannot be perfunctory, otherwise the translated things are too rubbish, and then there is no meaning.

There is also a very general statement about this potential work, how to divide it, how to select, although there is a set of mechanisms, there is still too much room for operation, which makes people not know the inside story.

According to Liu Chunyu, the meaning of "potential works" here is to represent the potential of the Western market, in other words, the values and content forms are more Westernized, which can make it easier for Westerners to accept.

"In recent years, our Chinese works have not been sold all over the world as well as they were a hundred or two hundred years ago, especially in the markets of Western countries, and they are no longer honored to read and appreciate the works of our Orientals, they have formed their own set of values and creative forms, and because they are closer to the current market trend, they have occupied a large share of the world market, and even our Oriental market has been repeatedly invaded by them. Therefore, it is up to you young people to counterattack the Western market...... this is Wen Donglai's original words.

When Su Wen heard this, he vaguely understood his intention. (To be continued.) )
