Chapter 224: Writing a New Work with Ink
It can only be said that having die-hard fans is indeed a very happy thing for a writer.
No matter where you go, there will be readers who are very warmly received, and now Wang Defu has such a reputation in the magic capital and the Jiangnan area.
In fact, with Liang Jing's current fame, she can also accept the love and dedication of fans and readers like Wang Defu, but it's a pity that as a relatively high-minded beautiful writer, she obviously can't be as approachable to readers as Wang Defu.
Liang Jing's kind of personality will also make ordinary people dislike, her vision is too high, and she is very vain, who can withstand ordinary people?
"There should be no suspense that your "Rabble" won this year's 'Wen Feizi Literature Award', and here I will congratulate you in advance." Liang Jing stroked the already published "Rabble" in her hand and said in a rather sincere tone.
As a result, I heard Wang Defu say lightly: "This literary award was told to me by someone from the Commercial Press, otherwise I really didn't know that it was so weighty, and it was a national literary award." You may not believe it, but I wrote this "Rabble" to fulfill the task of my department head, and he promised me that he could let me graduate early. ”
Wang Defu really doesn't know much about the traditional literary awards in this world, unlike in his world, at least he still knows the "Mao Dun Literature Award" and "Lu Xun Literature Award", and the world's "Wen Feizi Literature Award" is estimated to be equivalent to the first two.
When Liang Jing heard Wang Defu say this, she only felt very speechless, this man is really good at pretending, but who made her very convinced of such a talented man who surpassed her?
"Now that you've completed this work, what kind of work will you write next?" Liang Jing asked casually, she is actually very curious about Wang Defu's new work, how to say that she is also a loyal reader of Wang Defu.
"Actually, my recent energy is still focused on philosophy, and I may complete some academic papers, but as for literary creation, of course, I will not continue to write works that are not very friendly to readers, such as "The Rabble", and I will write some more lighthearted and interesting works." Wang Defu replied.
In fact, Wang Defu has not stopped brushing his papers and brushing his face in the field of philosophy, mainly to slowly establish Kant's philosophical system in this world, and directly promote philosophy to the category of modern philosophy.
And after taking the essence of Kant's philosophy and removing the dross, the next step is to go to Hegel and the like, and finally, of course, Marx......
Liang Jing is of course not interested in Wang Defu's philosophical academic papers, she is a more pure literary creator, and the content of her creations is relatively close to real life, in her impression, philosophy is too mysterious.
"Light-hearted and fun work? Can you really write something like this? Liang Jing was suspicious, "Aren't you always pursuing the text to carry the Tao when you write, you have to give readers the ...... to think about and so on."
Wang Defu does not deny Liang Jing's suspicions, he just hopes that what he writes can have more meaning in addition to allowing readers to kill time, and at least after a hundred years, readers can continue to put it in the bookcase.
Every author who has aspirations should hope that his work will become a masterpiece, but it is a pity that it is too rare to have the talent of Wang Defu and the golden finger of the material in his brain.
In fact, writing can also be not only for the reader, but for yourself, to sketch a very interesting fantasy world for yourself, isn't it also a particularly happy thing? Of course, if you make yourself happy and happy at the same time, but also make the reader enjoy it, it is a win-win. Wang Defu responded.
Liang Jing still agrees with Wang Defu's statement, she is actually a typical writer for herself, but it just so happens that many readers also like the works she creates.
"So what are you going to write next?" Liang Jing is most curious about this.
"I haven't thought about it yet, but it will definitely be a popular work, and I will use the pen name 'Mo Xian'." Wang Defu said.
Since it is a pen name of 'Mo Xun', the work to be written, it must be a commercial masterpiece, and the "Dragon's Head" he wrote before has created a work of underworld streams, making the background of many Mandarin Duck and Butterfly factions in the magic capital become an underground world, and the next work he wants to write, it will definitely continue to create a new genre.
Liang Jing already knew Wang Defu's pen name called "Mo Xian" before, and also knew that his work "Dragon Head" had been adapted into a movie by the great director Zhang Weiqiang, and it was expected to be released in October this year, which was something that Liang Jing was looking forward to, after all, she was also very fascinated by watching "Dragon Head".
Now Liang Jing heard that Wang Defu was going to use the pen name "Mo Xian" to create, her eyes immediately lit up, with Wang Defu's talent, if he went to commercial writing, he would definitely be able to write a particularly good-looking plot flow masterpiece, and the subject matter would be completely innovative, where can the average creator keep up with his brain?
It's as if many commercial writers didn't pay attention to the underground world of the magic capital at all, but now since the fire of "Dragon's Head", countless works have sprung up.
"Then I'm really looking forward to your new work...... Speaking of which, if those traditional literati who look down on the works of the Mandarin Duck and Butterfly School know that you, a cutting-edge writer, also secretly write works of this genre, they will definitely feel very unhappy. Liang Jing seems to be looking forward to the day when Wang Defu's "Mo Xun" pen name will be exposed, and the reaction of public opinion at that time must be particularly interesting.
Traditional literati have always looked down on the Mandarin Duck and Butterfly writers who make a living from "code words", but the works of Mandarin Duck and Butterfly writers have higher sales and remuneration than ordinary traditional literati, which is of course a thing that makes those traditional literati very sour and unaccustomed.
When Wang Defu heard Liang Jing say this, he said in his heart that if his other pen name named "Ms. Yiren" was exposed, wouldn't the public opinion reaction be even more explosive?
The two chatted here for an afternoon, and had dinner together, which further increased their friendship, Liang Jing already regarded Wang Defu as her soul friend, and only felt that only this talented man could keep up with her rhythm, and ordinary men didn't understand her soul at all.
Then the next day, Wang Defu began the signing of his new work "The Rabble", which started at 9 o'clock in the morning, and when he came to the giant book city on Tianchao Street, it was already crowded!
