Chapter 142: Contradictions
142 contradictions
As soon as Liu Yi's words came out, the atmosphere around him suddenly changed.
The harmony and friendliness that had been pretended before disappeared in an instant, and the contradictions of the North-South dispute suddenly became apparent.
A middle-aged man beside Liu Yi pretended to be taken aback: "Xiao Liu, are you joking?" Did sales really plummet by 50 percent in October? ”
Liu Yi hurriedly replied: "I just heard about it, and I just heard about it!" ”
Another echoed: "It seems that our previous judgment was right, what the people like is actually a work that actually tells a story they like, rather than a pretend profundity that is difficult to read." ”
These people sang and harmonized, obviously targeting Chen Beiming and a group of northern writers led by Chen Beiming.
An old writer in the General Political Department became angry at once, and when he opened his mouth, he wanted to fight back, but Chen Beiming suddenly glanced at him and told him to stand still for the time being.
Chen Beiming was not busy fighting back, and waited until those people were almost laughing, and then said lightly: "It seems that Mr. Liu's news is a little outdated?" ”
"Huh?" Liu Yi frowned.
Chen Beiming smiled and said lightly: "According to the data fed back by October magazine a few days ago, the sales volume in October has gradually recovered from the first day's drop of 50%, if I guess correctly, it should have returned to normal levels in the past two days." ”
The writer who wanted to get angry at Liu Yi just now immediately mended the knife: "Hehe, Xiaoshan, it seems that there are many ordinary people who like to watch works with a certain connotation!" ”
The other had a more poisonous mouth, and smiled: "Of course, although many people like the bed action blockbuster in the island country, but after all, it is something that can only be secretly avoided, a family, a group of friends, and a bunch of pursuing confidants together, where can I watch what kind of thing?" ”
This guy directly compares the works of southern literature to the bed action blockbusters of the island country.
There is a country in this world, called Island Country, which is also located in the eastern sea of Xia Kingdom, and its folk customs are similar to those of Japan.
As soon as this analogy came out, the people of the General Political Department immediately laughed, and all of them showed mockery.
Liu Yi's face was pale, and everyone laughed almost when he was about to laugh, and then he said in a weird manner: "Teacher Xiaoshan, you are just afraid that you are a little optimistic, the kind of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" that is extremely difficult to read will really be liked by so many people?" Believe it or not, anyway, I don't believe it. ”
"I don't believe it either!"
"Me too."
"I've only seen some readers go to the newsstand to drop off their magazines!"
The writers around Liu Yi all agreed.
At this time, another group of writers walked over to everyone while saying something, most of them were known to Chen Beiming.
When everyone saw Chen Beiming, they immediately walked over with a smile and said hello: "Xiaoshan, morning!" ”
"Hill!"
There was one who was particularly familiar with Chen Beiming, patted him and said, "Xiaoshan, you can do it, you actually wrote "Romance of the Three Kingdoms"! Terrible! ”
Another writer said: "My son came back yesterday and told me that the Chinese teacher in their class especially admired this and asked each of them to buy a copy as an extracurricular reading material!" ”
A burly guy smiled: "Xiaoshan, it seems that you are going to sell this again, and the manuscript fee must be a lot, right?" Don't forget to treat yourself when the time comes! ”
These people are also typical northern writers, and when they saw Liu Yi and others, they ignored them directly, and just greeted Chen Beiming and others.
At this time, Ma Youwei in the crowd smiled: "Don't worry, this guest will definitely be invited, but it is not Xiaoshan who will invite you, but our October Magazine will invite you!" ”
Seeing that everyone was a little strange, Ma Youwei smiled: "You may not know it, our magazine sales this month have been the same as last month, although we have lost some readers, but more high-quality readers have joined!" ”
"Really?" Many people were surprised.
"It's true, the data I just got last night!" Ma Youwei nodded.
Hearing Ma Youwei's answer, the writer from the General Political Department looked at Liu Yi and said, "Teacher Liu Yi, you should believe it now, right?" ”
Liu Yi opened his mouth, wanting to refute how this is possible, these data must be fake, and your magazines themselves made it up to deceive us!
But when he opened his mouth, none of these sentences came out.
He knew that Ma Youwei didn't have the guts!
But he couldn't accept this reality in his heart!
"Impossible, right? Will there be so many readers who love "Romance of the Three Kingdoms"? It's full of half-literal, half-vernacular sentences, and it's awkward to read? ”
Liu Yi couldn't figure it out.
However, at this moment, he didn't want to lose his momentum, so when he heard the rhetorical question of the writer from the General Political Department, he didn't answer, but just snorted.
Hum!
He snorted, and walked away with the men.
"Now let you run rampant for a while, and see how I clean you up in a while?"
Liu Yi scolded viciously in his heart, interpreting the idiom of literati to the extreme.
Ma Youwei looked at Liu Yi's back and frowned: "Why is he here too?" ”
A person next to him explained: "You don't know yet, right, he has already joined the Poetry Association? So this time also invited? ”
Has he already joined the Poetry Association?
Everyone was stunned when they heard this.
Chen Beiming was also a little secretly surprised: "This Liu Yi seems to be also a talent!" ”
Although the status of the Poetry Association is not as high as that of the Writers' Association, to tell the truth, the difficulty of joining the Poetry Association is higher than that of the Writers' Association, because the Writers' Association can use many works to speak for itself, such as prose, or reportage, or even scripts, these can be, but the Poetry Association is different, if you want to join the Poetry Association, you must come up with enough poems, and you must have certain qualifications, such as Chen Beiming, although he now has four more famous poems, but the Poetry Association has not yet sent him an invitation, the reason is very simple, His history of writing poetry is too short.
At ten o'clock, the "Chen Beiming Poetry Creation Seminar" organized by the poetry magazine was officially held in Yanbei Building.
The meeting was presided over by Yang Ting, the editor-in-chief of the poetry magazine.
"Poet friends, good morning, first of all, please allow me to introduce to you two of our new friends, the first is the new member of the Poetry Association, Mr. Liu Yi, he is the same as Chen Beiming, not only a writer, but also a poet, Mr. Liu Yi, you can say hello to everyone."
Liu Yi stood up and bowed: "Hello everyone, I'm Liu Yi." ”
Bang bang bang.
Everyone applauded.
There were quite a few people attending this poetry meeting, almost more than 50 people, and the upstairs was full.
It's been a long time since the poetry magazine has organized such a seminar, so everyone is very positive.
"Today's seminar, we mainly come to learn and appreciate Xiaoshan's four works, one is the modern poem "I stand guard for the great motherland", one is the modern poem "Broken Chapter", the third is the ancient poem "There is a beautiful woman in the north", and the last one is the one that everyone has discussed a lot in the past two days, the song poem "Linjiang Immortal" at the beginning of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms".
Yang Ting introduced them one by one.
