Chapter 15 Shen Haobo
Shen Haobo is actually a mixed literary person, the initiator of the lower body poetry movement, and has become a representative figure together with Yin Lichuan!
Lower body poetry...
At the beginning of the 21st century, there was a movement in the Chinese literary world, the lower body writing doctrine, or the lower body poetry movement.
It sounds very lewd, but what they advocate is to return to the basics, to release the real vitality of savagery, to present the primitive state of life...
The lower body is the upper body that is opposite to the upper body.
Tradition, poetry, lyricism, philosophy, thinking, and other things we learn in Tang and Song poems all belong to the upper body, while the real, concrete, barbaric, interesting, and even sexy that we usually ignore belong to the lower body.
The purpose of the lower body poetry movement is to eliminate the upper body factor and pursue the truth of the lower body.
stripped of the gorgeous cloak of poetry, it turned into a bare, straightforward, popular tribute...
In fact, from the perspective of literary development, change is necessary!
The new generation of poets is no longer satisfied with the expression system and mode of expression of the old poems, and they want to ignite a stronger and more intuitive desire for expression and lyrical ambition.
But the lower body is a little off track...
The point should be to unleash the savage true life force, but this gang focuses on the lower body...
Give sex back to sex, and evil to evil.
They wrote about sex under the traditional dregs gaze, put sex at a moral nadire, associated it with the evil of human nature, and tried to write "the flower of evil" in their own words, and as a result, the things of the underworld were born.
Maybe you don't understand it very well, for example, "A Good Ru", Shen Haobo's masterpiece:
As soon as she got into the car
I just kept my eyes on her
The chest is towering
Butt bulge
It's really impressive
Mouth-watering
I fixed my eyes on her breasts, and I fixed my eyes on her;
O bulging breasts,
If only I could see through it;
She was finally uncomfortable with me
hugged the little daughter next to him to his chest
Just blocking my view;
Hey, I said woman, don't think that's the case
I'll look back
I'm still staring
This time it was her daughter who was eyeing her
That pretty little face
Hi, I said women
Don't look at your daughter
Now the face is innocent
When you grow up
Definitely too
A good handful!
That's right, that's the poem he wrote!
Low EQ: Spicy eyes
High Emotional Intelligence: This may be an art of the times that has not been fully accepted until now...
But... This poem is very famous, and has even been highly praised by some commentators: he is restoring the reality of this world, removing the aura of camouflage of moralists and official historians, and a real human world is constructed and continued to move forward under the drive of such "obscene" but normal instinctive desires! Whether you admit it or not, the reality is like this - our world is composed of such a group of "obscene" people, and our world continues to advance from generation to generation in such "obscenity".
Tsk, no wonder modern poetry is not working...
Shen Xudong has heard of Shen Haobo, of course, he knows Yin Lichuan better - when I was seven years old, I saw a yang tool for the first time on the street, white and fat...
That's right, this is the lower body poetry!
Of course, Shen Haobo still has a very bottom line, he insisted that 'poetry should be niche, if the public recognizes it, it is a novel!' ’
Therefore, Shen Xudong was quite surprised by Shen Haobo's visit, because... No matter how you look at it, they don't have anything to do with each other.
……
Shen Haobo fell in love with "No. 1 in the World"...
Yes, there are a lot of literati who sing their favorite poems, and there are probably few who live in wealth.
The embarrassment of not being able to fill your stomach is a reality.
So, Shen Haobo decided to change careers and devote himself to the book publishing industry...
But let's be honest, private book publishing companies are not pleasing in today's market environment.
In the original time and space, Shen Haobo was very awesome, and he established Grinding Iron Books, in just three years, "Grassy Years", "Zhu Xian", "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty", "Notes on Tomb Robbery", and pressed four books in a row!
Become a legend in the private publishing industry...
Now, "Zhu Xian" has not yet come out, but "No. 1 in the World" is popular...
"The First in the World" has been serialized for three months, 400,000 words, and the plot progressed to the point where Zhu Wuwei saved Su Xin and used the Dafa of Huagong to suck the Heavenly Silkworm Gu poison into his body...
It's a small orgasm.
After the serialization of "No. 1 in the World", the sales of "Martial Arts Edition" continued to rise, and the sales exceeded 700,000 copies last month!
For a two-year-old semi-monthly magazine, this sales are miraculous...
Of course, it can't compare to "People" on the cover of Xiao Zhan's brother - the current issue sold 12.19 million copies...
But "Martial Arts Edition" is a pure story, and the unit price is 6 yuan!
The online discussion is very high, especially on the Tianya Forum, where the post about the plagiarism of the characters of "The First in the World" covers more than 2,000 floors...
However, the recent discussion is whether Zhu ignores whether it is good or bad...
A martial arts novel can have such popularity, and it is not an exaggeration to say 'strange book'.
Shen Haobo was concise and to the point, and said that he wanted to win the publishing rights of "No. 1 in the World"...
Shen Xudong is not very interested in this...
For the publication of "No. 1 in the World", several publishing houses have called Shen Xudong, including Changjiang Literature and Art Publishing House, Unity Publishing House, and even Sanlian Publishing House...
In addition, the traditional version of "No. 1 in the World" was sold, which was won by Taiwan's Hetu Publishing House, 300,000 yuan...
After all, Shen Xudong is at least a fledgling writer, and 300,000 is already very awesome!
And... I just called the money over...
Very crisp.
Traditional Chinese publishing is a model that publishes in Taiwan and sells by renting a bookstore.
Books in Taiwan are generally between 50,000 and 70,000 words, and a book can probably bring writers a basic income of as little as 2,000 or 3,000 or as much as 10,000 yuan.
If it sells well, the income is high!
In addition, the early online articles, such as "Children of Light", "Fengzi Story", and "Heavenly Demon God Tan", were basically fed by traditional publishing...
Traditional publishing has been sold, Shen Xudong doesn't care much about simplified publishing for the time being, in his opinion, the most important thing for "No. 1 in the World" is the adaptation right...
Besides, so many well-known publishing houses are interested, why did Shen Xudong hand over the publishing rights of "No. 1 in the World" to Shen Haobo?
Just by virtue of his surname Shen?
……
Shen Haobo just said the purpose, and then pulled Shen Xudong to eat with him and talked about his experience: "I used to write poetry, but I couldn't support myself at all... I heard a senior say that there is money to be made by making books! Then I went to the sea. ”
"Attending a book order fair, you can collect millions of cash, and you can't count the money."
Indeed, around 2,000 years ago, it was the golden age of the development of China's book industry, and you could receive a lot of money at the order meeting by taking a cover, and it was at that time that planners such as Chen Mingjun and Zhang Xiaobo surfaced.
By the way, Chen Mingjun created a new classic and published classic literary works, the Chinese version of "One Hundred Years of Solitude" sold 800,000 copies in 4 months of listing: the total sales of "Tokugawa Ieyasu" have reached 2.2 million copies; "1Q84" sold more than 1.6 million copies: "White Night Walking" sold more than 2 million copies, more, and Zhang Ailing's works sold more than 3.6 million copies;
Zhang Xiaobo founded Phoenix Linkage, the first to plan the "China Can Say No" series and rise in the Chinese publishing industry - selling 3 million copies a year!
Shen Haobo obviously didn't have such good luck: "I brought in a friend, pooled 150,000 yuan, and set up a book studio. Moreover, in less than three months, the first book "Crayon Little New Book" was launched. ”
"The Crayon Book of Little New Treasures? What is that? ”
"Comics..."
“… You go on! ”
"Crayon Xiaoxin" is "Crayon Xiaoxin", why do you add the word "treasure book"?
Shen Haobo smiled bitterly: "When we worked hard to sell more than 20,000 copies, we found out that we had been deceived, this industry bullies newcomers, and those who sell books don't pay at all." ”
"And then?"
Shen Haobo suddenly asked, "Do you know Haruki?" ”
Shen Xudong nodded: "I've heard it!" ”
"I was responsible for publishing her BJ Doll..."
"You published? Then her new book launch... Wearing a belly pocket was also planned by you? ”
"Yes!"
Shen Haobo smiled bitterly: "BJ Doll" is her first novel, it is not famous, and it is difficult to sell if you don't make some gimmicks!" ”
It's more than a gimmick...
Shen Haobo labeled Chunshu as "deviant", and the most daring thing was to let her wear a red belly pocket at the book launch.
"BJ Doll" was an instant hit, selling more than 120,000 copies in three months, and Haruki also appeared in the American "Time" magazine with the work "BJ Doll", and Han Han, Man Zhou, and Li Yang were called "representatives of China after the 80s." ”
"Do you know what I think of when I see "No. 1 in the World"?"
"What?"
"The martial arts bible in the post-Jin Yong era!"
