In February 1981, the first issue of "Harvest" was launched, which was different from previous issues, and as soon as this issue was listed, it showed the potential to be a big hit.

In the first week, sales reached 56,000 copies, even catching up with the sales of the previous month.

The reason for this is because this issue of "Harvest" published Jiang Yulou's new work "Becoming Famous". Jiang Yulou + new works have now become the traffic password of the 80s.

Don't be unconvinced, as long as you have Jiang Yulou's name, it doesn't matter if it's a magazine or a novel, he's a good seller.

Compared with the obscure modern literature and the literary world full of scar literature, Jiang Yulou's novels are simply a breath of fresh air. There is no denunciation of the past, no sentimentality, but it is easy to understand, and the theme of each work is different, full of freshness.

It is precisely because of this that Jiang Yulou's novels are now the guarantee of sales, and they are also popular with the people.

Regarding Jiang Yulou's evaluation of "Rise to Fame", the opinions of the literary world are not unified.

In the past two years, Jiang Yulou has been so popular that many people's eyes are hot, which has also attracted the hostility of many jealous writers for him.

Among them, there is an old writer who expressed his views in the newspaper "Yanjing Literature and Art".

"If you want to evaluate the most disappointing writer in 1981, it must be Jiang Yulou. Jiang Yulou first wrote the short story "Li Shisan's Push Mill", and later published the novella "Yellow Earth". These two works are eye-catching in terms of the depth of the story and the discussion of Shaanxi folklore. At that time, I thought that there would be another writer like Liu Qing in the land of China.

But, alas, when a person becomes famous, he will easily lose himself and get lost under fame and fortune. Especially young people like Jiang Yulou, it is even more difficult to resist the temptation. This can be seen in his recent works. Nowadays, our country has ushered in great changes unseen in a century, and it is necessary for writers of our generation to run and shout for the people, but Jiang Yulou is obsessed with writing popular novels, catering to the ordinary people, and forgetting the duty of a writer, which is undoubtedly the degeneration of a writer.

Especially after the new work "Rise to Fame" came out, it was even more disappointing. At one point, people wondered if Jiang Yulou had completely changed. ”

"The storyline of this novel is very monotonous and boring, especially lacking in depth. Compared to other classics, the theme of this novel seems thin and weak, and it does not dig deep into the complexity of human nature and the contradictions of society.

Writing about the three elders, it seems that he wants to allude to Shanghai Tang during the Republic of China, but the result is only a superficial taste. At the same time, the characterization is too stereotyped and lacks a sense of three-dimensionality, as if it only exists to tell a simple story, without really delving into the complexity and contradictions of human nature. The whole story seems to really be like the name of the novel, all for the sake of fame. ”

The old writer's comments were like an essay or a war book, which attracted many red-eyed people to comment one after another.

"Jiang Yulou, under the fame, it is difficult to live up to it. "Rise to Fame" is a suspense novel, but the structure and rhythm of the novel are quite chaotic, and it is difficult for me as a reader to immerse myself in it. ”

"This is a novel that is pretentious, disappointing, the so-called foreshadowing, dark lines, are just the author's gimmick."

"The most disappointing work of the year, Jiang Yulou needs to learn from the older generation of writers."

In addition, some people questioned the theme of the novel and shouted, ""Rise to Fame" is a naked promotion of the pursuit of fame and fortune, this work should be banned, and it can't be allowed to poison the minds of the people!" ”

"It's just that the protagonists in the novel are stereotyped, but what kind of people are they, all of them are people with inferior personalities, is such a protagonist really good?"

At first glance, Jiang Yulou seemed to be in dire straits, and when he opened the newspaper, it was all criticism of him.

This situation is similar to Jiang Yulou's expectations, each type of work has its different audience, and he is not a dollar, how dare he expect his works to be liked by everyone.

However, although "Rise to Fame" is useless in the eyes of many old writers with rotten ideas, in the hearts of a large part of ordinary readers, it is a rare suspense masterpiece.

Many readers have written to the city's newspapers to support Jiang Yulou and complain about the work "Rise to Fame".

Among them, Jiang Yulou's new fan sister, Tong Lili, justified his name in "Yanjing Daily",

"Rise to Fame is a remarkable work, not only because of its wonderful story and characterization, but also because of the themes it explores.

While describing how a group of frustrated filmmakers rediscover their worth by making a film about the sensational "Three Old Men Case," the novel also delves into themes such as fame, truth, morality, and humanity.

First of all, the concept of "making a name for oneself" in the novel is not only the pursuit of fame, but also the exploration and affirmation of individual value. In the novel, the filmmakers of these protagonists may have lost their former glory, but they still have a love for art and the pursuit of truth in their hearts. By making this film, they not only hope to regain their reputation, but also to find a renewed recognition of their own worth.

In fact, this also reflects the dilemma faced by many people in contemporary society: how to find their place and value in a rapidly changing society.

Secondly, the theme of truth explored in the novel is also food for thought. In the core case of the "Three Elders Case", the truth was covered up layer by layer, making the case confusing. In order to pursue the truth, the protagonist group does not hesitate to venture into it and dig out the unknown secrets behind the case. It also leads us to think about the truth: is the truth always so easy to discover in real life? And does our pursuit of truth also have to pay a certain price? As a journalist, I was even more shocked after reading the novel, and I felt empowered.

Moreover, "Rise to Fame" also has a deep reflection on morality.

Some of the characters in the novel, although they have made achievements in the film industry, their behavior and moral standards are controversial. And when they faced the "Three Old Cases", they had to re-examine their values and moral bottom line. It also makes us think: can we stick to our moral bottom line in the face of the temptation of fame and power?

Finally, the film also explores human nature. In the face of the trials of life and death, power and interests, everyone's humanity is fully displayed. Some people choose to pursue fame and fortune, some choose to stick to justice, and some choose to escape. And it is these choices that make up the different life trajectories of each person.

Therefore, I think that this work will not only not let Jiang Yulou fall into the abyss, but is another of his classic masterpieces. In addition, as an aside, this work was the first to produce a drama script, and it has been adopted by Renyi and has already been performed for the audience. ”

As soon as this article came out, the disparaging voice of Jiang Yulou's new work immediately dissipated a lot.
