Chapter 189: Headlines
At the end of the song, Lin Zixuan left the third miss of the Song family and walked towards his circle.
There were Ping Banya, Zheng Zhengqiu and others, who were talking around Hu Shi.
Hu Shi has a kind of Western gentleman's style, his speech is very infectious, and he is the kind of character who can be the protagonist on any occasion.
Lin Zixuan is relatively young, and he lacks the ability to control the whole audience for the time being, but he will not be ignored.
Ping Banya is the actual person in charge of Vientiane Bookstore, and he has little interest in publishing new literary books, but if he can bring Hu Shi to Vientiane Bookstore, he can add great fame to the bookstore.
Each publishing house has its own signature writers, and the publishing house works hard to promote the writers, and the writers bring reputation to the publishing house.
It's a win-win thing.
Now the signature writer of Vientiane Bookstore is Lin Zixuan, and if Hu Shi is added, it will be even better.
Therefore, Ping Banya is quite enthusiastic about Hu Shi.
He has successfully transformed from a Mandarin Duck and Butterfly writer to an elite figure in the publishing industry, and his vision is no longer limited to the writer's circle, but is developing in the direction of an industrialist.
As for Zheng Zhengqiu, after "Havoc in Heaven", he became the hottest film director in China.
He gradually perfected a set of ideas for making his own films, and after the filming of "Three Dozen Bone Spirits" was completed, he would not continue to shoot the series, and repetition would not make sense to him.
He's going to make the movie he wants to make.
Lin Zixuan understood this, the difference between a master and an apprentice is whether he has his own ideas.
Chinese films not only need commercial films, but also literary films with profound content, although literary films will lose money. But it's worth trying.
While everyone was chatting, Xu Zhimo came over with the three members of the Creation Society.
At this party. The three members of the Creation Society are relatively isolated.
They offended the writers of the Mandarin Duck and Butterfly School and the members of the Literary Research Society. offended many media in Shanghai.
They call themselves geniuses, they think that everyone is wrong, that they are the only ones right, and that they want to create the future.
"The project of our own creation begins on the seventh day when you are lazy and idle."
This is the words of the "Creation Weekly" written by Guo Moruo on May 13, 1923, called "The Seventh Day of the Creation Project".
He thinks that God is too irresponsible to create the world, and he wants to take God's place and continue to create the world.
This publication is the same as the poetry collection "Goddess", full of pride in changing the world, the kind of control over everything. The spirit of transforming everything erupted, and it seemed that the great power of heaven and earth had gathered in him, and he was the new Creator.
It can be seen from this that Guo Moruo has an unruly character, and he can be called a madman in ancient times.
But it is undeniable that the people of the Creation Society are very talented in literature, Guo Moruo's "Goddess", Yu Dafu's "Sinking", and Cheng Fangwu's literary criticism. In this era, they are all excellent and irreplaceable.
Xu Zhimo and Yu Dafu have a relationship, so they introduced the people of the Creation Society.
In such a public setting. Any contradictions can be put aside for the time being, everyone comes here to make friends, not fight.
But the atmosphere of the scene is inevitably weird. Most of the people present knew the contradiction between Lin Zixuan and Guo Moruo, although Lin Zixuan didn't care. But others don't see it that way.
In order to enliven the atmosphere, Xu Zhimo talked about the topic of poetry. thinks Guo Moruo's "Goddess" is very romantic.
"I used to want to comment on "Goddess", so I read it for a few days, and it is indeed very distinctive." Hu Shi continued to speak.
Guo Moruo was very happy after hearing this, and made an unexpected move, he stepped forward, hugged Hu Shi, and kissed Hu Shi's cheek.
This sudden move surprised everyone, and Hu Shi was also stunned on the spot.
Abroad, this way of showing intimacy is called a veneer ceremony, but it is not popular in China, especially between two men.
"I just feel so honored." Guo Moruo said with a smile.
"I'm honored too." Hu Shi reacted and smiled bitterly.
This little episode diluted the original awkward atmosphere, and everyone talked about other topics, which was also very speculative.
Lin Zixuan looked at the two people who "met with a smile and a grudge", and couldn't help but shake his head, he knew that this was all an illusion, and the grievances between Guo Moruo and Hu Shi had just begun.
Guo Moruo has been known as a professional black beard for 30 years, which is by no means just talk.
Beginning with the criticism of Hu Shi's "sorting out the national history", they launched fierce debates in traditional culture, academic thought, and historical evidence.
This is not the end, Guo Moruo also edited and published eight volumes of "Critique of Hu Shi's Thought", which sprinkled millions of words, comprehensively and profoundly criticizing Hu Shi's scholarship and thought.
But who would have thought that at this moment they were talking and laughing and touting each other.
Xu Zhimo said that he would visit Yu Dafu and others in two days, and the two sides also agreed to reunite.
As the party drew to a close, there was a sudden commotion in a corner of the hall, where the social circles of the news media were better informed.
After a while, everyone knew a piece of news that had just arrived.
Cao Kun, a warlord of the Beiyang government, was elected president and became the fifth president of the Republic of China.
There was an uproar at the scene, and everyone present read the newspaper and knew very well about the affairs in Peiping, and this presidential election could not be said to be the darkest, but the most nonsense.
At the pre-election meeting held in September, Cao Kun directly smashed people with money.
A congressman bought a vote for 5,000 silver dollars, bribed the speaker of the National Assembly for 400,000 silver dollars, and spent more than 13 million silver dollars to become president.
His aides also said that this is more civilized than forcing them to vote with a gun.
It can be seen from this that what the Beiyang government looks like is simply a shame for the political system of the Republic of China.
Now, Cao Kun has become the president as he wished.
Most of the people at this gathering were celebrities from the cultural circles, and many newspaper editors-in-chief came to Lin Zixuan, and the media in Shanghai wanted to say something, and they must not condone the Beiping government to make such nonsense.
"Then let's sign a protest!" Lin Zixuan pondered for a moment and said loudly, "Please ask Mr. Hu Shi to write a letter of condemnation, and if you are willing, sign your name to express the determination of our cultural circles." ”
Everyone said that this is the best, and it just so happens that celebrities in the cultural world gather here, and Hu Shi's reputation is high enough, so it is very suitable to write a denunciation book, which can be regarded as a grand event in the literary world.
The staff of the Peace Hotel reacted quickly, prepared pen, ink, paper and inkstones, and spread out a large piece of rice paper.
At this moment, Hu Shi took the lead and wrote a fierce denunciation.
He was the first to sign, Lin Zixuan was the second, and the others signed in turn according to their identities and status, and the reporter of the newspaper took a photo and hurriedly returned to the newspaper office for typesetting, which was the headline of tomorrow's newspaper.
It was a great end to the party, and everyone was talking and excited to be a part of it.
Lin Zixuan made the headlines of the newspaper for the first time. (To be continued.) )
