Chapter 171 170 One south and one north, one is a avant-garde work, and the other is a realism theme
Shang Zhongmin left his speech after the discussion and hurried away. He said that he rushed back to Chongqing because he was worried about being expelled if he missed school for a long time.
"Editor Fang, welcome to Chongqing. Although I do not agree with some of your poetry concepts, I still agree with some of them. Spoken poetry is not the same as saliva poetry. Spoken poetry and There is a big difference between poetry and poetry."
Seeing Shang Zhongmin talk incessantly, Fang Minghua smiled and said, "Shang Zhongmin, are you not planning to return to Chongqing?"
Shang Zhongmin chuckled: "Let's go! Goodbye!"
After saying that, he carried his yellow satchel and strode out.
"Editor Fang, he seems to be still not convinced." Zhang Yanqian looked at Shang Zhongmin's back and said.
“How can a person like him change his opinions so easily?” Fang Minghua smiled lightly and said: “My target is not him either. It is enough that these opinions can influence some readers and poets. "
This small-scale poetry seminar at Western University spread quickly after reporters reported it, and the contents of the two people's speeches were compiled and published in "Yanhe" in June. The "College Student Poetry Issue" launched by the magazine attracted the attention of poetry theory circles.
Discussing the development of modern poetry, the terms and views of the "Third Generation Poetry Movement" and "Post-Mist Poetry" appeared in front of the public for the first time.
Of course, what makes Fang Minghua happy is that this special issue has been a huge success, the circulation has increased dramatically, and Xinhua bookstores from all over the country have urgently requested more copies.
A large number of young poets, such as Haizi, Xichuan, Luo Yihe and Zhang Zao in the special account, began to appear collectively in the domestic poetry circle, and the poetry world was prosperous.
The poetry world was stirred up by this special issue of "Yanhe" magazine. The novel world was relatively quiet during this period, but in June, the two top domestic publications "Harvest" and "Contemporary" launched They wrote their own novels, which shocked the novel world.
"Harvest" published a stream-of-consciousness style novel "The Legend of Wukong" in its novel special issue in the first half of this year.
"Contemporary" published the first part of a realistic novel "Crossing Guandong" in the sixth issue of the magazine this year.
One is from the south and the other is from the north, one is an avant-garde work, and the other is a realist theme. The two are completely unrelated, but readers discovered that they are from the same author.
Fang Minghua!
Oh my god
How could two novels with completely different styles be written by the same person?
It immediately aroused discussions among readers.
Fang Minghua knew about this because Bai Miao told him.
At noon that day, Fang Minghua took a nap and yawned. As soon as he sat down in his office and had no time to drink some water, the office door was pushed open and Bai Miao rushed in happily. Also holding two magazines.
The first words he said when he saw Fang Minghua were: "Minghua, treat me!"
"Hey, Brother Bai, did I just invite you a few days ago? Why did you ask me to treat you again? ?”
“The last treat was because of the poetry theory you wrote, and this time it’s this!” Bai Miao placed two magazines in front of Fang Minghua.
One is "Contemporary" and the other is "Harvest", and two of his novels are published on it.
This?
"Okay, I'll ask." Fang Minghua was helpless.
“If you can’t do it once, you have to ask twice!” Bai Miao looked envious: “Look, “Contemporary” and “Harvest” can publish novels in these two magazines at the same time. It’s unprecedented. The only person coming is probably you, Fang Minghua.”
This is indeed a coincidence.
When "Contemporary" and "Harvest" magazines called him separately to tell him the publication time, he didn't pay much attention to it. Only after thinking about it did he realize that they were all together.
Of course it’s not intentional, the editors of the two companies are not that boring.
Please, please.
Anyway, I have nothing to do with my little dead salary, I will use it all to treat guests.
Fang Minghua's "Crossing Guandong" aroused praise from readers, calling it "a classic work with epic character and temperament that has left a mark in the history of literature.
"Thousands of mountains and rivers have been traveled just for this piece of land, a free world and a free home.
Which side is the wanderer's home? Looking back at his hometown is far away, and looking up, the road ahead is still unclear.
Even if the end is only when I fall, I will only have a future without a past."
But "The Legend of Wukong" published in "Harvest" caused a stir. The person who reacted most violently was not ordinary readers, nor writers or commentators in the literary world, but an actor.
Xinjiang, Flame Mountain.
Flaming Mountain, also known as Chishi Mountain, is located in the northern part of the Turpan Basin and was a must-pass for the ancient Silk Road. It is located on National Highway 312, and there are almost no people except for the occasional large truck running on the road.
But these days, it seems a bit lively, because CCTV director Yang Jie brought the crew of "Journey to the West" here to shoot the very classic "Three Borrows from the Banana Fan" scene.
Although it is summer now, the temperature difference between morning and evening is huge here. It is extremely hot during the day but very cool at night.
The filming work was hard and boring, but the crew and actors were very enthusiastic, especially the 24-year-old young actor Zhang Jinlai who played the role of Monkey King.
Zhang Jinlai was born in a family of monkey kings and was sent to him by the old monkey king "six-year-old boy" Zhang Zongyi. Zhang Jinlai inherited the monkey king kung fu from his father. He is very enthusiastic about filming and cherishes this role very much.
Chatting, playing poker, and reading books became the pastimes of the crew during filming.
Zhang Jinlai is from Shanghai. Of course he likes to read some newspapers and magazines published by Shanghai. However, it is difficult to read books and newspapers in this remote place. The crew went to Turpan to buy some supplies two days ago and gave them to him by the way. Bought and brought back a new supplement to the novel "Harvest".
He felt like he had found a treasure. When he was not filming, he would find a quiet place to watch.
Today, he looked at it and suddenly roared: "Which little red guy wrote this? What nonsense!"
His words surprised everyone who was filming. Even Yang Jie looked at him in confusion: "What's going on?"
"Director Yang, look!" Zhang Jinlai held the magazine. He walked over angrily and handed it to Yang Jie.
Yang Jie was a little curious, took it over and flipped through a few pages, then frowned.
This adaptation of "Journey to the West" is not good.
But Yang Jie has experienced a lot in his life, what hasn’t he seen? After just reading a few pages, he returned it to Zhang Jinlai: "He wrote his story and we filmed ours. Why are you angry? As long as you play Sun Wukong well."
"That won't work! My dad has been playing Sun Wukong since he started, so we can't let him change it randomly!" After saying that, he left angrily.
"What are you going to do?"
"I want to write an article and criticize!"
Fang Minghua saw it in the readers' letters column in the literary review section of "Guangming Daily" This article written by Zhang Jinlai is very violent.
Seeing this name, Fang Minghua knew who it was. His objection was not a whim, it would happen sooner or later.
However, what surprised Fang Minghua was that this article did not arouse much response or support from many readers.
Oh, by the way, "Journey to the West" hasn't aired yet, and he's not famous yet.
Of course, some experts in the "Literary Review" journal criticized him for tampering with famous works and tarnishing classics. However, the majority of readers did not "understand" the article "The Sun Also Rises". I find it quite interesting.
As for literary and ideological aspects, that is a matter for experts and scholars to consider. I just think it looks good!
As a result, letters from readers once again flew to the editorial office of "Harvest" like snowflakes, and some were even sent directly to Fang Minghua.
Among them, some readers lamented that Fang Minghua, you have gone too far when writing about stream of consciousness!
But I regretted it after writing it.
Obsessed?
What about that article "Crossing Guandong"?
A truly realistic work.
