Great Writer - Chapter 213
Wang Defu is no longer the kind of newcomer writer who does not have any attention when new books are listed, but a genius writer who has received considerable attention in the entire magic city literary world, and his talent has been recognized.
It can be said that since the intensification of the New Culture Movement, he has been one of the representatives of emerging writers among them, and he is also a new blood that has raised high expectations among the “Shanghai Style Writers”. He will definitely become the banner figure of the “Shanghai Style Writers” in the future.
From the beginning, Wang Defu became famous for his thoughtful article “Women’s Submissive Status”, which promoted women’s sex. This time, his “The Crowd” had already been promoted as “Friends of Women” before it went public. After “Female Submission”, another masterpiece with more ideological depth, the target award is the national literary award “Wenfeizi Literature Award”.
Wen Feizi is a famous thinker and writer in the history of this world. He is basically similar to Han Feizi in Wang Defu’s world. He proposed legalism, but his classic articles are more than Han Feizi, and his status is higher than that of Han Feizi. Han Feizi, after all, there is no Confucianism or Confucius in this world.
Although the Wenfeizi Literature Award is not as influential as the “Huaxia Royal Literature Award” that is known almost all over the world, it is highly realistic and sincere. Generally, the works that can be awarded are works that record the depth of thought in terms of genre. The above is not a novel or prose, but an essay of that kind.
It is also selected once a year, but it is always bye, just because how can ideological works appear so easily?
And compared to the kind of easy-to-understand works, the sales of ideological works are definitely bleak. Unless they can write well-recognized masterpieces that can make readers buy home and pretend to be forceful, why do ordinary people buy such works? ?
Therefore, writers who can create such high-level ideological works are really rare, and the last winner of the “Wenfeizi Literature Award” was Ye Liqing who created the so-called “Democracy Trilogy”.
His best-selling work “The Best Democracy” this year has once again become the most popular work of this year’s “Wenfeizi Literature Award”. If there is no ideological work comparable to “The Best Democracy” If it comes out, maybe he will win an unprecedented second prize!
This is certainly not a situation that critical critics would like to see, especially those “Shanghai School writers” who cannot see the arrogance of “Beijing School Writers”. If this time Wenfeizi Literature Prize is won by Ye Liqing again, they will definitely have no face. Light!
But what is very helpless is that the “Shanghai style writers” seem to be born to be overwhelmed by the “Beijing style writers” in creating such ideological essays. The reason may be that the “Beijing style writers” have been involved in politics throughout China. At the center, influenced by the strong political atmosphere, the works created naturally have that kind of flavor.
The style that “Shanghai style writers” excel at is more literary and fresh, and the glitz of drunkenness, feasting, and feasting is naturally better than “Beijing style writers.”
Of course, this is actually just a general point of view. There are naturally special cases among the two major groups of writers.
For example, Wang Defu, a genius who was born in the magic capital literary world!
This time, when his ideological work “The Crowd” was published before it went on the market, the first thing that paid attention to this work was of course the many colleagues in the magic capital literary world, and of course the many literati in the imperial capital.
That’s right, with the passage of time, Wang Defu’s literary name has finally spread to the political center and cultural center of China as an imperial capital!
It’s just that Wang Defu is not so popular in the imperial capital compared to the various touted conditions in the magic capital literary world. Who made him directly classified as a “Shanghai style writer” by the “Beijing style writers”?
This kind of portal view has made his articles spread slowly, and many readers who have read his articles admire him. They only think that this talent is indeed outstanding, but the critics who are willing to praise him are far away. Far less than the magic capital.
In this era without the Internet, the role of literary critics in enhancing the reputation of creators is still very huge. No matter how good the work is, if no one is going to blow it, the influence will still not be much.
Unless it is a kind of popular work that is originally popular with ordinary readers, but such a work, in terms of depth, is naturally more ordinary. This is also no way. Once the work is written deeply, if it is written too much, The number of readers willing to read it will definitely decrease.
This time, Wang Defu’s new work “The Crowd” was simultaneously listed in the Imperial Capital, because its publisher is a behemoth that the Commercial Press has spread throughout China, and it even has the ability to distribute it abroad. If there is indeed the potential to sell well abroad.
Publishers like the Commercial Press, of course, do not have any opinions. For businessmen, no matter what the Beijing-style writers or the Shanghai-style writers are, the writers who can make money, fame and influence for them are good authors.
Wang Defu’s literary talent is obviously highly valued by the Commercial Press. After reading his new work “The Mob”, the senior executives of UU Reading www.uukanshu.com immediately thought of the one who made the “Huaxia Bookstore” so much more influential. The famous young writer Ye Liqing.
Since the “Huaxia Bookstore” has a writer like Ye Liqing who specializes in ideological and sociological works, and has won various literary awards, then of course they need to introduce this type of author under the Commercial Press, even if the sales of this author is not good. It doesn’t matter, as long as he can win the prize, that’s enough.
It’s a pity that there are too few authors like Ye Liqing. The Commercial Press tried hard to search before, but they couldn’t find anything that could compete with Ye Liqing, until Wang Defu and his “The Mob” appeared…
Therefore, on this day, in the book city of the most famous commercial press in the city, Wang Defu’s new work “The Rabble” appeared in the most powerful way. If the response of this work is huge, then the commercial press The bookstore will plan Wang Defu to sign and sell it nationwide!
As if destined, a girl surnamed Zhao appeared in this book city very low-key. Her temperament was so graceful and luxurious. Around her, there were dozens of plainclothes royal guards at any time.
That’s right, she is the most favored princess of the Chinese Empire-Zhao Ziyue.
