Chapter 804 803 "Female Personalized Writing"
It was already a month after Fang Minghua saw this novel.
According to the judging rules of this online literature competition, several screenwriters from the Banyan Tree website will first select the submissions, and then send them to the mailboxes of each judge in batches via email for review by the judges.
November 31st is the deadline for submission. In mid-December, all judges will be organized to gather in Shanghai for discussion, and finally a number of winning works will be evaluated and awards will be given.
It is now the end of October, and Xijing has entered late autumn. Today is a weekend night. Fang Minghua and others have made an appointment to play cards and left it at Lu Yao's house today.
Lu Yao's wife Linda has retired from Xiying Studio. Although Xiying Studio has been acquired by Shengshi Film and Television, as a retiree, unlike some state-owned enterprises, there is no place to receive pensions after bankruptcy.
Shengshi Film and Television still paid her a full pension in accordance with relevant national policies, which made her very satisfied.
Lu Yao’s daughter, Lu Yuan, was admitted to Yanjing Technology and Business University last year. She studied graphic design and is usually in school.
Lu Yao and his wife are the only two people at home who have a lot of leisure time, but they feel deserted after a long time, so Linda still welcomes people to come to her house on weekends.
Fang Minghua, Lu Yao, Jia Pingwa and Bai Miao got into positions, chatting while fighting. Except for Fang Minghua, the other three people kept smoking.
"Hey, Minghua, have you read the submission "Small Hotel in the Sexy Era"?" Jia Pingwa asked while playing cards with a cigarette in her mouth.
"I saw it, it's very similar to the style of "The Wasted City" you wrote." Fang Minghua replied with a smile.
“Haha, it’s so interesting.” Jia Pingwa replied.
When Bai Miao heard that someone wrote a novel that was a bit like "The Wasted City", Bai Miao immediately became interested.
“Your online literature call for submissions? Can you let me have a look?”
"We're playing cards." Jia Pingwa reminded.
"Who asked you to mention something to seduce me? No, no, no, I have to take a look, otherwise the cards will not be played." Bai Miao said.
"Okay." Jia Pingwa said helplessly: "This is done."
"Okay!"
Bai Miao said, revealing a card, He glanced at the "pot".
"Thirty thousand!"
"What a fool!"
Lu Yao, who had been silent just now, pushed the card in front of the door.
"Thirty thousand!"
"Wori! Bai Miao, there is not even thirty thousand in the pot, and you still throw it down! Did you light the cannon on purpose?!" Jia Ping The baby was very dissatisfied.
"Look what you said, I've stopped barking. What's the use of having an orphan with 30,000 yuan in my hand? Okay, hurry up and read the novel." After saying that, Bai Miao pushed his cards and urged Jia Pingwa.
"Okay, let's watch and fight hard, so as not to be a gunner all the time! Lu Yao, use your computer."
A few people moved to Lu Yao's study, turned on the computer, Jia Pingwa I logged into the 163 email address I had recently registered and found the novel titled "The Little Hotel in the Sexy Era". Naturally, there was no author name, only the number given by the website.
Lu Yao also felt curious and got together with Bai Miao to take a closer look.
The novel is not long, only about 5,000 words. The two of them finished it quickly, then returned to the card table, and Bai Miao started to comment. "This novel does have a bit of the style of "The Wasted City". Food and sex are prominently listed. It is highly identifiable and has vivid memory points. However, the author's writing skills are not good, and the characters cannot be fully understood and explained. The writing is too childish."
“Nonsense.” Jia Pingwa said unceremoniously: “These are basically written by amateur authors. How can they be compared with the manuscripts of the World Chinese Literature Award? I think the writing is still good. Hua, what do you think?”
Fang Minghua also nodded. "Pingwa is right, the requirements should not be too high. To be honest, this article cannot be compared with novels written by famous writers. Even novels written by ordinary writers published in "Yanhe" cannot be compared. But she Have its own advantages ”
“What advantages?”
"Its advantage lies in the fact that it is trained in traditional literary classics and has a careful observation of the world of human beings, and has created an Internet discourse that stimulates people's desire to snoop. The author of this novel is well versed in the public psychology and has a natural ability to create topics. It can be said that is successful in gaining an audience.”
Fang Minghua's words were a bit new, and the others savored them carefully.
"I think the author of this novel is probably a woman." Lu Yao suddenly said something.
"Why do you see it?"
The three of them looked at him.
“Due to the length of the novel, the writing is a bit rough, but the topic selection is quite individual, and the description of the inner activities is very delicate. Like the female writers who have emerged in recent years—Lin Bai, The writings of Chen Ran and others have this characteristic, which is called "female personal writing".
The term "female personal writing" is familiar to everyone here.
This goes back to 1994.
Female writer Lin Bai wrote a novel with an autobiographical flavor: "One Man's War".
The book directly writes about women's sensual love through "my" growth experience and Lin Duomi's encounters, depicts women's feelings and obsession with the body, and creates a warm and candid personal experience. world.
After this novel was published in "Flower City", it aroused heated discussions and was later labeled as feminist.
Just the next year, the United Nations World Conference on Women was held in Yanjing, and the topic of women became a public topic almost talked about in every street. This book became very popular again.
At the same time, another female writer Chen Ran published her novel "Private Life".
This story tells the life trajectory of women in modern metropolises. From the perspective of the protagonist's own female experience and secret inner life, it tells the story of a girl's unusual experiences and experiences in the process of growing into a woman. It can be regarded as a serious avant-garde novel.
The two books were immediately put together and regarded as representatives of "female personal writing".
Now that Lu Yao mentioned this, everyone unanimously agreed with him.
This is also a personal writing by a woman, but of course the writing power cannot be compared with that of Lin Bai and Chen Ran who are already famous.
“In the past two years, I have read some original online works on the Internet. I think that female writers will account for a large part of online literature in the future. Female writers are more delicate in their emotional descriptions and are good at daily narratives. It's very popular online." Lu Yao held a cigarette in his hand and talked.
“But I feel that truly classic literary works must be closely connected with the era background in which the novel is set, reflecting this era rather than this so-called private and individual writing: Hiding in a small building Let’s make it unified, regardless of winter, summer and spring and autumn.” Fang Minghua took a sip of some cold tea and expressed his opinion.
"Haha, Minghua, you actually quoted Lu Xun's poem here?" Bai Miao laughed: "But it's quite appropriate."
"Okay, let's not talk anymore. Hurry up and play cards, I'm still losing today," Fang Minghua urged.
Just as the domestic online literature competition is in full swing, the publication of a novel in the United States is also causing a wave of publicity, extending from traditional media to the Internet.
It is the "Road Spike" written by Fang Minghua
