Chapter 172: Spotlight
With the passage of time, the popularity of "The Legend of the West Chamber", of course, also spread from Suzhou to the magic capital, and then because its author is Wang Defu, it naturally attracted the attention of the literati in the magic capital in a very short period of time.
For those literati who like traditional Chinese studies and classical poetry, "The Legend of the West Chamber" is simply a feast, they are all crazy because of the excellent classical poems in it, and some people even think that Wang Defu is the last ancient poet in modern times!
After all, only he can write works that are comparable to those classic ancient poems of the ancients.
Of course, the literati of Modu really have a high evaluation of the classical poems in "The Legend of the West Chamber", but they are obviously not so interested in the storyline depicted in "The Legend of the West Chamber".
Some literati who were amazed by Wang Defu's exquisite conception of "The Necklace" before were disappointed by the mediocrity of the plot of "The Legend of the West Chamber" this time, and felt that although Wang Defu's work was as gorgeous as ever, it was too spiritual, and it was full of ingenuity.
It's just that now because Wang Defu has more and more loyal fans, many literati don't dare to say bad things about Wang Defu, and even take the initiative to speak for Wang Defu, saying that even if Wang Defu is a genius, it can't be perfect......
Compared with the media in Suzhou blowing "The Legend of the West Chamber", the media in the magic capital obviously prefer to focus on Wang Defu, obviously the media in the magic capital, knowing how attractive Wang Defu's news is to his fans, as long as Wang Defu is reported, then the sales of their newspaper will have to increase by at least two or three percent.
Under the excavation of the media in the magic capital, most of them believe that Wang Defu wrote "The Legend of the West Chamber" in order to slap the old school literati who smeared him in the face before, and further contribute to the "use of new culture".
Some people must be curious, how can Wang Defu write a classical drama like "The Legend of the West Chamber" to contribute to the "New Culture Movement"?
Judging from the plot of "The Legend of the West Chamber", it is clearly the set of talented and beautiful women and mandarin ducks and butterflies, and it is clearly like a depressed literati in ancient times, and the vulgar YY cool essay written!
Therefore, under such circumstances, those critics who interpret "The Legend of the West Chamber" and Wang Defu have made meritorious contributions, and it is clear that they insist that "The Legend of the West Chamber" is a "positive energy" work that is anti-feudal and promotes free love, and directly ignores the fragrant and vulgar parts of this classical drama work......
Of course, it may also be because Wang Defu's previous character in the minds of many people is radical, trendy, and revolutionary, and many people say that their previous works are very revolutionary, and they are a criticism of the old society and the old system, and even the various chaos in today's capitalist society have been satirized and criticized by Wang Defu.
Therefore, in the minds of many people, Wang Defu is definitely a pioneer writer who greatly admires the "New Culture Movement", so when interpreting "The Legend of the West Chamber", of course, it is necessary to closely follow the theme of "anti-feudal", and it is necessary to say that Wang Defu is worthy of Wang Defu, which is so anti-feudal, but it is higher than some works that deliberately shout slogans!
An anti-feudal work like this, that's the most awesome, truly entertaining!
In fact, readers or viewers who like "The Legend of the West Chamber", where do they care if it is anti-feudal or not, they just think that this work is very enjoyable to read and watch, and they don't care about the face of the male and female protagonists, but feel that Zhang Sheng's frivolity and obscenity are very real, down-to-earth, and have a sense of substitution.
As for the hypocritical and fake Cui Yingying, it is also attractive enough, because the author's gorgeous writing fully presents her charm and makes the reader's heart flutter, and in the classical drama performed, Cui Yingying's actors must also be very beautiful, which is also enough.
Therefore, the group that "The Legend of the West Chamber" is actually really facing is those people who like the cliché plot of the Great Consummation, and literary and artistic young people like Wang Defu can only appreciate the gorgeous rhetoric in it, and the plot and characters can't get into the faces of literary and artistic young people.
The media in the magic capital arranged the purpose behind Wang Defu's creation of "The Legend of the West Chamber" into a "slap in the face" cool text section that readers like to see, and the object of the slap in the face is naturally the old literati who questioned Wang Defu's ancient literary literacy before......
The media made up this story vividly, and even directly published the names of the old-school literati who had been the most vociferous before, which instantly made the other party famous, but it was a pity that it was a very embarrassing bad reputation, and it was simply a corpse of all kinds of whipping.
Of course, readers are watching it with relish, and Wang Defu's fans are of course very happy to see it, and the sales of the newspapers that arrange these stories behind them are also rising, which can be described as a great joy!
There is a cool story of slapping the face, of course, it is not enough, how can there be no more popular gossip scandal behind the creation of "The Legend of the West Chamber"?
Especially for a "merry and famous man" like Wang Defu, a classic like "The Legend of the West Chamber", the heroine in it must find a prototype character in reality!
I have to admit that the media in the magic capital are really powerful, and they have to dig up news stories with explosive points even if they are unscrupulous for the sake of commercial sales!
So, it was natural that Mei Xiaoyu, a girl, was excavated by the media in the magic capital, and then Wang Defu's essay published in a classical drama magazine was also excavated, and all of this suddenly became a very perfect story line.
The media in the magic capital, their ability to make up stories, after this is vividly displayed!
In the end, the conclusion was of course that the "merry celebrity" Wang Defu, in order to win the favor of his "new love" newcomer Hua Dan Mei Xiaoyu, with a stroke of the pen, with Mei Xiaoyu herself as the heroine prototype, created "The Legend of the West Chamber", the purpose of course is to promote Mei Xiaoyu to the top!
Mei Xiaoyu suddenly became famous in the media industry of the magic capital because of this comical operation of the media in the magic capital, and even became more famous than when she was in Suzhou.
Even several large theaters in the magic capital have sent invitations to Mei Xiaoyu's crew, hoping that they can come to the magic capital to perform "The Legend of the West Chamber......
