Chapter 159: The First Class Satirical Novels
The news that "Famous Literature" was going to publish a special issue quickly spread throughout the capital. The last time "Famous Literature" published a special issue, it was "Lies".
"Lies" not only caused a craze in China, but also sold well abroad, and even broke records with the Japanese. A novel scolding the Japanese sold more than 10 million copies to the Japanese, causing the Japanese society to break its defenses.
So, what will "Famous Literature" publish this time?
Many people are looking forward to it. They have long been dissatisfied with the messy articles in newspapers now. I was originally waiting for a reaction from above! Unexpectedly, Liu Hongmin took action first.
The old man surnamed Wang was immediately anxious when he heard that "Literature of Names" was going to publish a special issue.
He immediately contacted the person he bribed at the printing factory and asked, "Steal Liu Hongmin's manuscript for me."
The people at the printing factory were confused, "We didn't print Liu Hongmin's book?"< br>
“What?” The old man surnamed Wang suddenly felt something bad and immediately called to verify. The result was that Liu Hongmin's new book was printed at the printing house of Beijing University Publishing House.
Peking University Publishing House is Liu Hongmin’s territory. Liu Hongmin’s books are all published by Peking University Publishing House in the mainland. It is even harder to get Liu Hongmin's manuscripts published in Peking University Press.
The reason why he asked those newspapers to report those articles was to force the superiors to take action. When the time comes, the foreign media have already prepared to propagate the lack of freedom of speech.
Now that the superiors are not taking action, Liu Hongmin has written a novel, which makes him feel in danger. Once Liu Hongmin writes another novel like "Lies", he really doesn't know how to break the situation.
However, there is no chance of ruining the publication of Liu Hongmin's novel now. He can only wait patiently for Liu Hongmin's novel to be published, and then he will try again.
Within a few days, he came across Liu Hongmin’s novel.
Liu Xinwu took some sample books and returned them to "Literature of Names". After the old man surnamed Wang learned about it, he immediately asked someone for a copy.
The novel of more than 20,000 words was finished quickly, but the old man named Wang could not regain his consciousness for a long time. Putting down the book, the old man surnamed Wang felt his heart hurt. What he was worried about finally happened.
He is a writer and has a literary vision. In terms of literary attainments, "Donkey Gets Water" surpasses "Lies".
The advantage of "Lies" is that it combines historical facts, has a grand background, and can use more writing to describe it. "The Donkey Gets Water" is short, and the characters are often described in just one sentence. This is real skill.
What is more important is the content of "The Donkey Gets Water". The originally peaceful campus became demonized after receiving the special correspondent. And this special commissioner represents the period before the founding of the People's Republic of China. This is equivalent to saying that before the founding of the People's Republic of China, there was a society where good people could turn into monsters. And this truth is very simple, anyone with a certain level of education can see it.
This blow hit the weakness of Mr. Wang’s plan. The articles he asked people to spread cannot actually stand up to scrutiny. As long as people look carefully, they can find unreasonable places.
There are so many articles, but there are only a few things worthy of praise before the founding of the People's Republic of China. Anyone who reads the article carefully can notice this. No one is saying anything now, I just don’t want to get into trouble.
Now that Liu Hongmin has stepped forward, those literati who have a good relationship with Liu Hongmin will definitely act as pawns. It is conceivable that as long as "Donkey Gets Water" is published, a lot of articles will be published to vigorously fight against him.
Once again, the old man surnamed Wang was right. After the publication of "Donkey Gets Water", it immediately caused a buying craze. Many people queue up to buy "Literature of Names" before dawn. As soon as the bookstore opens, the bookshelf of "Literature of Names" is cleared out. Because there are only 20,000 words, this issue of "Literature of People's Names" is in 32 format, and the price is very cheap, only a dime.
Seeing this price, people who buy books feel like they have been injected with blood. Each person bought either five or six copies, or more than ten. Usually when they read books, a few or a dozen people buy one book together. Now that "The Donkey Gets Water" is so cheap, of course everyone must have a copy.
Quality issues, they never thought about. If "People's Name Literature" can issue a special issue, "Donkey Gets Water" will be the best.
Sure enough, when I arrived at the unit and saw it, I immediately started shouting with excitement.
“Amazing! This book is amazing!”
“This is the most satirical novel I have ever read in my life.”
“Liu Hongmin’s The writing is really getting better and better.”
After Liu Hongmin's friends saw "The Donkey Gets Water", they immediately wrote and wrote, and then sent their comments to newspapers. As a result, the newspaper's manuscripts piled up. The editor-in-chief of the newspaper took a look and immediately published commentaries on all pages. Even so, there is still more than half left!
As soon as the evening news came out, everyone was shocked. Can I still post comments like this?
Someone smelled an unusual smell in it. They opened the newspaper and looked at the article above.
The position of the main text on the front page belongs to Chen Jiangong.
His title is: The first-class satirical novel - "The Donkey Gets Water" describes a magical world.
In the article, he analyzed the intention of writing "The Donkey Gets Water" and then told another story.
I have also heard of the story of "The Donkey Gets Water", but I just forgot when. At that time, I just thought the story was interesting and had no intention of creating it. Now that I think about it, I may have heard it with Hongmin, but I didn’t expect that he would write this incident into a novel. After reading the novel, I was very glad that I didn’t have the idea of adapting it at the time, otherwise I would have been outclassed by Hongmin.
Whether it is from the writing style or the rhythm of the story, "Donkey Gets Water" is a superior work. I would like to call it the first-rate contemporary satirical novel.
Aren’t there a lot of articles about the period before the founding of the People’s Republic of China? Hongmin has now given a response, how should you respond?
In the small section of Chen Jiangong’s articles, articles by Liu Zhenyun, Wang Xiaoping and others are all listed. These people are either famous writers or young backbones of cultural units. They are all celebrities from major newspapers and publishing houses.
When they stood up, it was equivalent to the young people in the capital's cultural circles standing up. At this time, people with sensitive political aspirations immediately noticed something, and they all shouted for Liu Hongmin in the newspapers.
How could the old man named Wang be convinced? He immediately prepared manpower to fight back. Newspapers accept their articles from all sources. After all, only when there is back and forth can the news become popular. If the popularity is not enough, how can it attract the attention of everyone across the country?
Liu Hongmin looked at the disturbing articles in the newspaper and suddenly laughed.
This nest is big enough. I wonder if Ms. Deng is satisfied with it.
Ms. Deng is quite satisfied that Xiyuan has remembered all those who jumped out. However, they did not take action, but wanted to see who these people were getting close to so that they could catch big fish.
