Chapter 216: The Vortex of Public Opinion

Because "The Rabble" was listed in the whole of China at the same time, or it was released in many big cities in China, and it was also fully publicized, many literati circles saw this work almost at the same time.

And the first to jump and blow up the stabbing are, of course, the media and literary critics who blew the famous young writer Ye Liqing's work "The Best Democracy" into the sky.

Because they can see at a glance that this "Rabble" is clearly deliberately provoking and touching "The Best Democracy"!

It's not that no one has touched Ye Liqing before, after all, Ye Liqing, the creator, is indeed famous, he has won many literary awards in a row, and he is still the winner of the previous "Wen Feizi Literature Award", his status in the literary world can be said to be thriving, and at the same time, Ye Liqing also has a deep friendship with many powerful people, all of which makes Ye Liqing envious, jealous and hated by many peers, and he has nothing to write some articles to rub Ye Liqing's reputation, which is of course normal.

But these guys who touch porcelain, their creative level is too far from Ye Liqing's sincerity, and they don't have the capital to be picked on by the media and critics......

And this is the essential difference between "The Rabble" and other porcelain touching works, the level of this work, compared with other porcelain touching works, the quality is much higher, the most important thing is that it seems that this work does refute "The Best Democracy", or fancy refutation, all kinds of slaps in the face!

This obviously made the media and critics who blew "The Best Democracy" to the sky before unable to sit still, most of them are people from the imperial capital, and now they feel that this is the propaganda of the "Shanghai writer" Wang Defu to them, and they must use the toughest way to fight the battle, so as to maintain their face!

Zhou Mingwen, a literary critic of the Beijing School, a fanatical democrat, and an author named Zhou Mingwen, who is in the same party as Ye Liqing, is a writer in Ta Kung Pao. Literature and Art", unceremoniously lashed out at "The Rabble"!

"The most ridiculous thing about the work "The Rabble" is that this guy named Wang Defu makes arbitrary conclusions without arguments, full of pathetic sensibility, a point of view can be expounded over and over again, and it is really hard to brainwash readers...... (more than 1,000 words omitted) To sum up, such a work is not worthy of the rigorous "The Best Democracy"! ”

Although Zhou Mingwen has really worked hard to belittle "The Rabble" and continues to tout "The Best Democracy", he himself has not noticed that there is a feeling of impatience and corruption in his commentary, that is, he is particularly flustered and hard-mouthed.

Other literary critics who criticized "The Rabble" almost all mentioned the same point, that is, they thought that "The Rabble" lacked rationality and was simply not worthy of being a book, but Wang Defu was frantically singing high-pitched and shouting slogans, how could such a work be compared with "The Best Democracy"?

So these literary critics who are afraid of being slapped in the face have come to the unanimous conclusion, of course, that Wang Defu has done everything to make a big news in order to sensationalize, so they called on other literary people to boycott such a "rabble" to prevent Wang Defu's conspiracy from succeeding!

It's a pity that the operation of the world is not something that these literary critics can control, although "The Rabble" is full of emotion and paranoia, but it is undeniable that many of its views seem to hit the nail on the head, and it can also explain the violent terrorist incidents caused by the decline of the IQ of many groups!

At the same time, such a sociological work that is not so esoteric is not a good work for readers to get started, and its threshold is actually not high at all, even ordinary readers can gain a lot of things by reading this work.

In fact, when the above-mentioned literary critics attacked the "rabble" in influential Beijing-style magazines such as "Ta Kung Pao" and "Literary Quarterly", many ordinary readers also wrote to these magazines to express their views.

"I think 'The Rabble' is very well analyzed, and when we are in a group, reason does not work. Suggestion, repetition, contagion, a lot of false or completely inconsequential things are deeply engraved in our hearts, and this is the lack of independent spirit. This is still the case today, especially in this stage of media flooding, whether it is advertising or politics, as long as you say it a few more times, you can't help but believe it, because we are in the group. ”

"I suspect that you guys who criticize "The Rabble" are the rabble, and you want to brainwash our readers in such a way, but fortunately, after reading this book, you will not be easily bewitched by your gang."

"The brilliance of this book lies in the fact that the author deliberately wrote it so arbitrarily, because a rabble like us, after reading it, will definitely empathize, and then naturally be brainwashed by him, Wang Defu This guy is so talented, he is so ruthless that he even mocks himself, I can think that after this book became popular, the rabble frantically admired "The Rabble", as for the refutation of "The Rabble", it is not as good as the rabble!"

……

It must be admitted that the readers who will read Wang Defu's thoughtful work for the first time must have a high level of appreciation, so they will not be influenced by those literary criticisms, but will think more independently about the true meaning of "The Rabble".

Perhaps the most impressive of these is the evaluation of groups and leaders in "The Rabble" - groups: contagious, easy to be suggested, not responsible; Leader: assertion, repetition, contagion.

Readers who really understand "The Rabble" may feel more and more funny the more they read it, because Wang Defu is really satirizing himself, why does he expound a certain point of view over and over again in this book, that is, of course, "assertion, repetition, and contagion".

If "The Rabble" becomes popular, it actually proves the point of view of his book, and if this book is still considered a classic and full of forced qualities by the mass readers, it means that the IQ of the group is really low, and the mass readers are like the masses, too easy to be fooled......

Just when the critics of the Beijing School criticized "The Rabble" in a fancy way, those Shanghai literati who supported Wang Defu of course wanted to blow "The Rabble" into the sky, no matter how you look at this work, it is full of places that can be blown, which is too suitable for rubbing the heat!
