Chapter 130 Countless Competitors
There are much more famous writers in the literary world of the Magic City than in Suzhou where Wang Defu is located. After all, the Magic City is also one of the most powerful economic centers and cultural centers in the southern part of the Empire of China.
Many poetry magazines saw that Wang Defu's three modern poems had been completely spread, and all kinds of tabloids were published at will, so they directly used the courage to publish them. Only those famous poetry magazines were more particular. After the publication, they immediately contacted Wang Defu and said that they wanted to pay him the manuscript fee.
Fortunately, Wang Defu is not the kind of despicable guy. Otherwise, if he sued all kinds of poetry magazines that reprinted his works without his consent, these magazines would probably be unlucky.
The main reason is that Wang Defu really had no hope of becoming famous through poetry. He just used modern poetry to please girls. Unexpectedly, by Chen Qingle's slutty operation, Ling Jingsu came again without being outdone, which led to the complete detonation of the poetry world!
Of course, the three modern poems that the poets appreciate most are of course "Rain Alley". The main reason is that this poem is more hazy and seems to symbolize a lot of things. Of course, it can be more free to interpret, and it is of course easier to add your own private goods to the interpretation.
The other two poems are easier to understand. Most of them are female readers. After all, women are very emotional. These two modern poems that are closer to love poems have inspired their sensibility.
There is a famous poetry magazine editor and publisher in the literary world of the Magic City. His evaluation of "Rain Alley" is: "Rain Alley" "opens a new era for the syllables of the new poem."
Although such an evaluation is a bit over-reputable, the first thing I see is the beauty of its syllables, which is insightful.
In his poetry magazine "Modern Poetry Magazine", Ye Xiang explained in detail why he evaluated the syllables of this poem in the same way—
"The whole poem "Rain Alley" has seven sections. Except for the "Everything" and the last section, the other sentences are exactly the same. This way, the beginning and end are repeated, and the same main tune appears repeatedly in the poem, which strengthens the musical sense of the whole poem and increases the expressiveness of the poet's confusion and disillusionment.
The whole poem has six lines in each section, and the lengths of each line are different and uneven. The rhymes are generally repeated in lines not far apart. Each section is tilted twice to three times, and there is no rhyme change from beginning to end.
The whole poem is very short, and some short sentences also cut off the connection between the words and sentences. Some of the same words appear many times in the rhymes, such as "Rain Alley", "Girl", "Fragrance, "Melancholy", and "Sight", which intentionally makes a sound repeat in people's hearing.
This creates a reverberating melody and a smooth rhythm. When read, it is like a gentle and meditational serenade. A lonely and painful reading melody resounds repeatedly throughout the song and lingers in people's hearts.
…”
It has to be admitted that Ye Xiang, the editor-in-chief of Modern Poetry Magazine, made him benefit from the unique analysis of "Rain Alley", and the sales of his "Modern Poetry Magazine" increased. This has set an excellent example for many poetry magazines, as if they are making it clear that this is the best way to get the popularity.
Everyone knows how to praise Wang Defu and analyze his modern poetry. However, now that poetry has been circulating for so long, those classic interpretations have long seized the orthodox perspective. If you want to attract others' attention, you must have a clever angle. If you can think of something that the author himself has not noticed and appreciated, that is the most sultry.
The same goes for the saying, when the author creates a work with profound connotations to the public, the right to interpret this work no longer belongs to the author. After all, the author is just a writer, so how can he understand appreciation?
After Wang Defu discovered that his clarification of those modern poems was simply too lazy to pay attention to this accident after he could not make any changes in many classic interpretations.
However, after experiencing such an accident, he naturally became more cautious in treating women. Of course, his previous confusing self-confidence no longer exists. He felt that no matter how old a woman was, she should not be underestimated, otherwise he would really not know what kind of tricks the other party would make.
What Wang Defu didn't know was that the romantic affairs surrounding his several modern poems completely made Liang Jing, the vanity talented woman who was full of expectations for him, full of resentment towards him.
Liang Jing felt that her girlish feelings for Wang Defu were disappointed by Wang Defu. She threw the charming eyes at him by praising Wang Defu's works to the blind man!
However, Liang Jing would definitely not admit it, that is, she was very jealous of Ling Jingsu and Chen Qingle, because these women she had never heard of could actually get a poem from Wang Defu and become famous in an instant!
How could Liang Jing, who worked hard to get rid of Wang Defu's popularity and wrote various comments on his works?
So this time, Liang Jing did not praise Wang Defu as much as before, but objectively criticized his modern poetry. Of course, the one who chose to criticize was the highly praised "Rain Alley".
Liang Jing said that "Rain Alley" is too monotonous, it is just a reverberating melody and a smooth rhythm. It is indeed in each six lines, each line has different lengths, and it is generally repeated at a certain interval, and it is implemented throughout. The images used to use and the excessive lyrics make the success of this poem seem simple and superficial.
"Rain Alley" is Wang Defu's "self-liberation" using beautiful "imagination" to cover up the ugly "reality". It uses some gorgeous illusions like soap bubbles to deceive himself and his readers. Apart from the artistic harmonious musical beauty, there is nothing good about content.
Unfortunately, Liang Jing chose to criticize Wang Defu this time, but she failed to get the popularity and attracted greater attention. Perhaps because the four talented female writers in the Magic City all praised Wang Defu's other two poems. Among them, one of the talented female writers imitated "Seeing and Not Seeing" and created a new poem, which suddenly triggered the trend of "Seeing and Not Seeing"!
This result made Liang Jing's resentment towards Wang Defu even deeper. Maybe she had always successfully gained popularity before, which made her have an illusion that Wang Defu belonged to her alone.
It’s a pity that reality gave her a blow.
While many male and female literati interpreted Wang Defu's modern poems in a fancy way, Wang Defu had completely entered the state of creating the novel "Dragon Head". He was also full of confidence in the "Demon City Popular Novel Award", even if this novel award has countless competitors.
