Chapter 213: Fate
Wang Defu is no longer the kind of rookie writer whose new book is released without any attention, but a genius writer who has attracted a lot of attention in the entire Modu literary circle, and his talent has been recognized.
It can be said that since the New Culture Movement has intensified, he has been one of the representatives of cutting-edge writers, and he is also the fresh blood that has risen high hopes among the "Shanghai School Writers", and he will definitely become the banner figure of the "Shanghai School Writers" in the future.
Wang Defu was famous for his ideological promotion of women's *** article "Women's Subservient Status" at the beginning, and became a "Friend of Women", this time his "Rabble" has already been promoted as a masterpiece with more ideological depth after "Women's Subservient Status" before it was listed, and the award aimed at is the national literary award "Wen Feizi Literature Award".
Wen Feizi is a famous thinker and writer in ancient times in the history of this world, he is basically similar to Han Feizi in Wang Defu's world, and put forward Legalist thought, but his classic articles are more than Han Feizi, and his status is higher than Han Feizi, after all, there is no Confucianism and Confucius in this world.
Although the Wen Feizi Literature Award is not as influential as the "Chinese Royal Literature Award", which is known almost all over the world, its compulsion is really high, and the works that can generally win awards are all works that record depth in ideology, and the genre is not prose, but that kind of excursive article.
It is also selected once a year, but it is always a bye, just because ideological works are so easy to appear?
And compared to the kind of easy-to-understand works, ideological works must be relatively bleak in terms of sales, unless they can write recognized masterpieces and make readers buy them at home, why should ordinary people buy such works?
Therefore, writers who can create such high-level ideological works are really rare, and the winner of the last "Wen Feizi Literature Award" is Ye Liqing, who created the so-called "democracy trilogy".
His best-selling work "The Best Democracy" has once again become the biggest hit of this year's "Wen Feizi Literature Award", and if there is no ideological work comparable to "The Best Democracy", perhaps he will win the award for the second time in history!
Of course, this is not the situation that those picky judges are willing to see, especially those "Shanghai School writers" who can't see the arrogance of the "Beijing School Writers", if this time the Wen Feizi Literature Award is won by Ye Liqing again, then they will definitely lose their faces!
However, it is very helpless that the "writers of the Shanghai School" seem to be inherently crushed by the "writers of the Beijing School" in creating such expositional articles with depth of thought, and the reason may be that the "writers of the Beijing School" have been influenced by the strong political atmosphere in the political center of the whole of China, and the works they create naturally have such a flavor.
The style that the "Shanghai School writers" are good at is more literary and fresh, and the kind of glitz and glamour that is drunk and golden, and the glitz and glamour is naturally better than the "Beijing School writers".
Of course, this is actually just from a general point of view, and there are naturally exceptions among these two major groups of writers.
For example, Wang Defu, a genius who was born in the literary world of the magic capital!
This time, as soon as the ideological work "The Rabble" came out before he was listed, the first thing to pay attention to this work was of course many peers in the literary world of the magic capital, and then, of course, many literati in the imperial capital.
That's right, with the passage of time, Wang Defu's literary name has finally spread to the imperial capital, the political center and cultural center of the entire China!
It's just that compared to the various touted situations in the literary world of the magic capital, Wang Defu is not so popular in the imperial capital, who let him be directly classified as "Shanghai school writers" by the "Beijing School writers"?
This kind of portal view makes his articles have slowly spread, and many readers who have read his articles are admired, only thinking that this person is indeed outstanding, but the number of commentators who are willing to praise him is far less than that of the magic capital.
In this era without the Internet, the role of literary critics in improving the fame of creators is still very huge, even if the work is excellent, if no one blows it, the influence is still not great.
Unless it's the kind of popular work that is already popular with ordinary readers, but such works, in terms of depth, are naturally more ordinary, and there is no way to do it.
This time, Wang Defu's new work "The Rabble" was listed in the imperial capital at the same time, because its publisher is a behemoth that has spread throughout China through the distribution channel of the Commercial Press, and even it has the ability to distribute abroad, if the work does have the potential to sell abroad.
For businessmen, no matter what kind of writers are from the Beijing School or the Shanghai School, the writers who can make money, gain fame and influence for them are good authors.
After reading his new work "The Rabble", Wang Defu's literary talent was obviously very valued by the Commercial Press, and after reading his new work "The Rabble", his senior management immediately thought of Ye Liqing, the famous young writer who made the influence of "Huaxia Book Company" greatly increase.
Since "Huaxia Book Company" has a writer like Ye Liqing who specializes in writing ideological and sociological works, and he has won various literary awards, then of course they also need to launch this type of author under the Commercial Press, even if the author's sales are not good, it doesn't matter, as long as he can win the award, it is enough.
It's a pity that there are too few authors like Ye Liqing, and the Commercial Press tried hard to find one that could compete with Ye Liqing, until Wang Defu and his "Rabble" appeared......
So, on this day, in the book city under the most famous Commercial Press in the imperial capital, Wang Defu's new work "The Rabble" appeared in the most powerful way, if the response of this work is huge, then the Commercial Press will plan Wang Defu to sign nationwide!
As if it was fate, a girl surnamed Zhao appeared in this book city in a very low-key manner, her temperament was so graceful and luxurious, and around her, there were dozens of plainclothes royal guards at any time.
That's right, she is the most favored princess of the Chinese Empire - Zhao Ziyue.
