Chapter 870 Literary Summary of 2002
The first snowfall of 2002 came not long ago, and 2003 is coming soon.
Looking back at the literary world in 2002, Radar published an article in the China Youth Daily titled: "Masterpieces are absent from the silent literary world in 2002: mediocrity in transition."
2002 does not seem to be a year of "study hard and make progress every day" in literature and publishing. People in the industry mostly describe the publishing situation in 2002 as "mediocre", "bland" and "ordinary". In a publishing industry with literary creation as its core, on the one hand, new books appear in a flourishing manner, but on the other hand, masterpieces are absent, passing by silently, and heavy works are rare.
The era of "picture reading" is coming.
2002 was a year when people were lazy and imbecile, their souls were in urgent need of comfort, their hearts were embarrassed and they went to the extreme. This can be clearly proved by the powerful "view shock wave" composed of "view picture books" such as "Jimmy Adult Picture Books", "Rock Book", "Curry Pie" and so on
The creation of famous artists is on the decline.
Some well-known writers have launched new works: Jia Pingwa's "The Man with the Long Tongue", Han Shaogong's "The Hint", Hai Wei's "Ordinary Life", Zhang Kangkang's "The Woman"...
However, some readers and industry insiders unanimously said that the creative standards of famous artists have been declining. On the one hand, celebrities strive to break through under the dual pressure of the market and their own limits. On the other hand, the audience is coerced and covered by film and television images, online media, and diverse entertainment, and the supply and demand between each other are increasingly misaligned.
Writing for Young Adults
"Home Alone" in the literary world is a mixed blessing. Is it because Xiaogui has strong creative power, or is it because of the deformity of the market they face? This is a paradox of growth stages.
Writer "Her Century"
"Her century" is "the century of women." It is said that there are currently five or six generations of female writers active in the literary world in our country - from Zhang Jie and Zhang Kangkang to the new and new women born in the 1970s and even the 1980s: Yin Lichuan, Zhao Bo, Dai Lai, Zhao Ning , Cheng Qing, Wang Qian, Zhu Wenying, Zhou Jieru, Liu Yanyan, Annie Baby,... as a whole, they have undoubtedly occupied half of the literary world.
Finally, I need to point out that at the end of the year, the writer Minghua published an autobiographical book "My Twenty Years of Literature", which tells the story of the ups and downs in the literary world from the early 1980s to the end of the century. rain.
The article is written in a clear and straightforward manner, and contains various anecdotes and interesting stories. It is said that it is very popular among readers.
Here, I don’t want to talk about whether some of the literary views in this autobiography are correct. What I want to say is:
Even a writer with strong creative energy like Minghua started writing memoirs and writing about the literature of the 1980s and 1990s. Does this also mean that since entering the new century, there is nothing worth writing about in literature? !
This is a very scary thing.
"This radar." Fang Minghua looked at this comment in his study and couldn't help but shake his head.
Today is New Year's Day, and Fang Minghua's house is very lively.
Not only did her daughter Fang Rui return to China for the winter vacation, but her son also came back today for a holiday, as well as his daughter-in-law Song Tangtang.
In addition, Liu Xiaoli and her daughter Liu Yifei also came to Fang Minghua's house as a guest.
They came back from the United States with Fang Rui and came to Fang Minghua's house specifically to play.
Daughters Fang Rui and Liu Yifei were born in the same year. The two have a very good relationship in the United States and often chat on QQ. Sometimes Fang Rui even flies to Los Angeles to visit Liu Yifei's house on weekends.
"Dad, daddy, come down for dinner!" Daughter Ruirui ran to Fang Minghua's study and knocked on the door "dong dong dong".
"Okay, I'll be down right away." Fang Minghua replied with a smile.
“What’s delicious?”
“Shabu-boiled mutton, and the Northeastern stew made by Aunt Liu!”
Fang Minghua followed his daughter downstairs to wash her hands and then came to the restaurant. The copper hot pot had been placed in the center of the dining table, with a basin of hot dishes and several cold dishes next to it.
After Fang Minghua and the three children were seated, Song Tangtang, Liu Xiaoli and the nanny also walked in.
The meal was cooked by the two of them, and even the nanny helped.
Song Tangtang also specially opened a bottle of Great Wall Cabernet, saying it was to celebrate New Year's Day today. The three children are underage and cannot drink. It is nothing for Fang Minghua, his wife and Liu Xiaoli to drink a bottle of red wine.
Everyone chatted while eating, mostly around the three children.
Originally, Fang Rui loved music and planned to be a pianist in the future. However, influenced by Liu Yifei's acting, she suddenly became interested in dialogue dramas.
I told my parents on QQ that I would like to be a drama director in the future, and actually encouraged Liu Yifei to act in dramas in the future.
Specially played by her director!
Fang Minghua was angry and funny after hearing the news.
If you are a child, don't take it too seriously.
Besides, it doesn’t matter what you study as long as it’s legitimate.
For families like theirs, whatever major they study and what career they pursue in the future has long been no longer a job, but a pure hobby.
Otherwise, some people would say that many children from truly wealthy families enjoy studying unpopular majors such as philosophy and art.
However, his son Fang Le is still very interested in science and engineering, especially physics, which is also influenced by his uncle Liu Jianjun.
Liu Jianjun is now the director of the 618 Institute and a doctoral supervisor. He has made great achievements in the field of aviation microelectronics.
After Liu Yifei went to Taipei to film "Blue Door" at the beginning of the year, she took a plane directly back to Los Angeles to go to school.
"Minghua, Xiaoli and I just talked about something, which is to let Sissi play the role of Wang Yuyan in the costume martial arts drama "Dragon" that the company is about to start filming. What do you think?" Song Tangtang asked.
Oh, isn't this the fairy sister?
The TV series "Dragon" is a large-scale costume TV series planned to be produced by Shengshi Film and Television this year. It is co-directed by mainland director Zhou Xiaowen, director Ju Jueliang and others.
After Zhou Xiaowen graduated from Yan Dian in the 1970s, he was assigned to Xi Film Studio and is now also a director under the Film and Television banner.
"Dragon" is a TV series produced by Shengshi Film and Television this year with a huge investment. Hu Jun, Lin Zhiying, Gao Hu, Chen Hao, Liu Tao and other big-name stars from both sides of the Taiwan Strait are invited to join. It is most suitable to hand over the female lead to an actress under Shengshi Film and Television. But nothing.
Liu Yifei is pure and beautiful, and is the most suitable person to play the role of Wang Yuyan, as later generations have proved.
But today Song Tangtang suddenly brought up this matter to ask for his opinion. Fang Minghua already knew in his heart that Liu Xiaoli was probably not willing.
Because there is an invisible chain of contempt in the film and television industry: film art is higher than television art.
The industry's criterion for judging actor status is that top movie actors are greater than top TV drama actors.
This is not just domestic, but also international.
Now Liu Yifei has acted in several movies, and most of them are female protagonists. She is famous at home and abroad. Now she is suddenly asked to act in a TV series, and Liu Xiaoli is probably a little reluctant.
However, Liu Yifei's Wang Yuyan in this version of "Dragon" is really a classic.
