Chapter 638 637 "His unlucky day is coming soon!"
It turns out to be "Literary Review".
There was an article by Wang Shuo published on it, which was a review of "The Wasted Capital". One paragraph said:
"Jia Pingwa's way of pretending to be a ghost and taking notes on the novel is so ridiculous. . That has something to do with his microclimate. Jia Pingwa's early Shangzhou series was okay, but "Desolate Capital" is completely a toilet thing. He is really decadent and boring, so don't pretend to be "everyone".
“Pick things out of the toilet!” This sentence deeply hurt Jia Pingwa.
Wang Shuo has become very popular in the past two years.
Just last year, Huayi Publishing House published a set of four volumes of "Wang Shuo's Collected Works", namely "Wang Shuo's Collected Works: Innocence Volume", "Wang Shuo's Collected Works: Hypocrisy Volume" and "Wang Shuo's Collected Works: Joker Volume" "Wang Shuo's Collected Works: Volume of True Love" pioneered the trend of young writers publishing collections of essays.
Similarly, it is also a royalty!
In addition, several TV series such as "The Story of the Editorial Department", "Enjoyed", "Haima Cabaret" and "No One Cheers" have been aired one after another. As a screenwriter and planner, Wang Shuo is not only famous in the literary world, but also famous To the film and television industry.
Wang Shuo was already good at talking, but he couldn't control his mouth. As his status got higher and higher, his heart naturally expanded, and he had the attitude of "guiding the country".
Therefore, it is not surprising that Wang Shuo scolded Fang Minghua from "The Wasted Capital", and he asked Jia Pingwa in return.
“Brother Jia, what are you going to do?”
“Wang Shuo is the only one who knows how to curse, but I can’t? Rabbits can bite when they’re angry! I’m going to write an article to scold people. This is so stupid!" Jia Pingwa said bitterly.
"Don't." Fang Minghua shook his head.
“Didn’t we discuss it well? Don’t write articles to defend your novels. That will only cause more trouble.”
Seeing Jia Pingwa's frustrated look, Fang Minghua comforted her: "Brother Jia, I have told you a principle before: as long as your book will not be removed from the shelves, don't take it to heart no matter how others scold you."< br>
“Besides, there are many people who criticize you, and there are also many people who support you and your novel. Needless to say, we, the writers and scholars in Qin Province, who don’t publish an article publicly to express your disapproval? Support for this novel? "
"Why don't Ji Xianlin, Wang Xiaobo, Radar, Yan Gang, etc. write articles to publicly express their support for you? The most important thing for you now is to stay calm and do nothing, Qian. Even though you have endured thousands of blows, you are still strong, no matter how hard the wind blows from east to west, north or south.”
Fang Minghua’s persuasion made Jia Pingwa feel better, and she muttered: Minghua, you are right, I am a little impulsive. , but what Wang Shuo said is too damaging, right? "
"He is just that kind of person, a loudmouth. Fang Minghua smiled and said, "You can call him bad, but he's not that bad." ”
"However, his mouth will eventually harm himself." Fang Minghua smiled slightly when he said this: "Just watch, his unlucky day is coming soon!"
"Is Wang Shuo going to be unlucky? Unlucky? What's wrong?" Jia Pingwa asked hurriedly.
“Don’t worry, you will know soon!”
It’s September, Zhang Yimou took home the Golden Lion Award from the Venice Film Festival, and Shengshi Film and Television and Shengshi Books were in full swing Horsepower, spread the word.
In particular, Shengshi Books immediately launched a massive seminar on the work "Alive" in Yanjing, inviting famous writers and scholars at home and abroad to participate.
Fang Minghua was also invited to participate in the work seminar. At the meeting, he pointed out: ""Alive" is like a dazzling star hanging in the sky. Yu Hua stands out from that extremely thin path, more accurately In other words, Yu Hua has matured. He is already writing novels based on his "inheritance" and does not need to rely too much on his writing skills." Soon after the seminar, Shengshi Books launched a book signing event for "Alive".
Yanjing, Shencheng, Xijing.
"Alive" suddenly became popular.
Of course, it is not all praise, there are also criticisms. Wang Shuo publicly commented in his article: "The writing of "To Live" is not as good as others. Yu Hua cannot write Yan Lianke and Liu Zhenyun. To put it simply , his works are nothing more than imitation and plagiarism.”.
Naturally, Yu Hua didn't answer.
“The literary world is so lively this year.”
This is the biggest feeling of many writers, scholars, and even readers.
But what I didn’t expect was that in Shanghai, a seemingly ordinary discussion on literary and artistic theory set off a large-scale academic discussion, which spread from the literary and artistic theoretical circles to all walks of life across the country and became a large-scale academic discussion. A far-reaching public cultural event.
Things start from the summer of last year (1992).
The "Critics Club" column of "Shanghai Literature" magazine plans to resume. It is planned to draw on several critical centers such as East China Normal University, Fudan University, Yenching University, and Yenching Normal University to begin to express opinions on the current status of literature and culture in a dialogue manner.
Several young scholars from East China Normal University who often get together and have similar views decided to join. The agreed members include Wang Xiaoming, Xu Lin, Zhang Hong, Cui Yiming, Zhang Ning, etc.
The identities of these people at this time are: Wang Xiaoming: Professor of the Department of Chinese, East China Normal University
Xu Lin, Doctor of Literature, Department of Chinese, East China Normal University
Zhang Hong, Cui Yiming: East China Doctoral candidate in the Department of Chinese, Normal University
Zhang Ning: Master's student in the Chinese Department of East China Normal University
They have a common view that "literature has not fulfilled its due responsibilities."
Shortly after the start of the second half of the semester in 1993, this incident It's back on the agenda.
The conversation took place in Room 625, Building 9, of Xu Lin. During the discussion, everyone agreed that there is a crisis in literature at present. "The decline in public cultural literacy and the continued deterioration of the quality of the humanistic spirit have exposed the crisis of the humanistic spirit in contemporary China."
Of course, these young students are not talking in general terms, but focus on two currently popular cultures.
First: Wang Shuo’s ruffian literature.
I believe that "Wang Shuo creates typical kitsch literature, and the general tone of his works is ridicule." From the popularity of the "Wang Shuo phenomenon" and the "playing literature" school, it further explains that " The importance of "rebuilding the humanistic spirit" value orientation.
Second: The commercialization tendency of Zhang Yimou's films: Taking "Raise the Red Lantern" as an example, he believes that "the director is too obsessed with "new trendy" art such as postmodernism, and ignores the works Obsolescence in value orientation. "
The entire article was published in "Shencheng Literature" in the form of a symposium record, titled "Ruins in the Wilderness - The Crisis of Literature and the Humanistic Spirit"
After that, Newspapers such as "Dushu", "Oriental", "October", "Guangming Daily", "Wenhui Po", etc. also reprinted and commented on them one after another. Participants also received many letters from readers. A "humanistic spirit" event lasted for three years. "Big Discussion" kicked off.
However, at this time, the originally lively literary scene in Qin Province became calm.
