In fact, literary critics are not the same as writers. There are even differences between writers. They cannot be defined simply by sales volume.
But there are always merits in works that sell well. It may not meet the reading aesthetics of some people, but it will definitely match the aesthetics of other people. Aesthetics is a very personal thing. If it sells well, it means there is an audience of readers. As long as it doesn't
There is a big problem with values, and Mr. Fu will look at the literary works on the market with an inclusive attitude.
There is no problem with the values of "Teenage Idol". The whole book conveys the positivity of young people. Mr. Fu only wishes there could be more works like this, so how can he criticize it?
If there is nothing wrong with the concept of the work, sales volume will become an important indicator to measure whether "Teen Idol" is good enough.
It's just an essay competition, but Wen Ying can have a copy of "Teen Idol", which is enough to be a judge of the competition!
Mr. Fu even felt that the organizer was very thoughtful. The three generations of judges, old, middle and young, corresponded to the past, present and future stages of literature.
"Times have changed, and I often sigh like this! Literature is closely related to the times. Before the founding of the People's Republic of China, our literature criticized feudalism and awakened the blood of the enslaved people. Thousands of compatriots were in misery.
If the mind is not awake, the trumpet of revolution cannot be blown, so in response to the needs of the times, many familiar literary predecessors have emerged; after the founding of the People's Republic of China, our literature eulogized the hardships of the victory of the revolution. The entire country was struggling to develop through exploration, and literature was
Engraved with suffering and pain, individual and collective, all transformations need to go through this step. The overall atmosphere of literature is still heavy and serious. This is an era that our generation has witnessed with our own eyes; the future of literature belongs to people like 'fish against the current'.
'With this group of young writers, I don't deny that some of their works are about compiling new words to express sorrow. They have a bit amplified the sorrow of adolescence. Losing love among young people is a major event that will cause the world to collapse..."
When Li Mengjiao read this, many people including Wen Ying laughed out loud.
Mr. Fu's few words have captured most of the current youth literature.
There are also students in Class 16 who fall in love early. When they fall in love, they break up and get back together. It’s really sad when they break up. In Mr. Fu’s words, these are all “just to express sorrow for the sake of writing new words”. Some students feel like they have been shot in the knee.
.
However, when the conversation changed, Mr. Fu did not criticize these youth literature writers. The old man's words were even full of joy and expectation:
"As I said, literary creation is closely related to the times and is a reflection of the times. Why do today's young writers magnify the pain of adolescence? Because in their perceived life, this pain is the most important thing!
Our country is moving towards prosperity. The people are no longer in misery, and the material living conditions are getting better and better. The younger generation does not have to experience the hardships that our ancestors and our generation have endured. Life shines into the works, so naturally it cannot be said to be heavy. This is
It’s not a bad phenomenon. This is the most beautiful era. In this era, we can have enough food and clothing, young people no longer have to starve to write, and the weight of the past has been swept away. Isn’t it worthy of our applause and celebration? If someone thinks
The essay competition should not have high prize money. I think it has sinister intentions and is deliberately misleading young people to make young literature lovers think that they are not worthy of making money from writing. This strengthens the stereotype that writers are "poor" and discourages them.
Without the enthusiasm of literature lovers, in the long run, the literary world will really have no successors!"
Writing can make money, and there is no shame in making this money. This is fine mental work, a legitimate job, and a trumpet for thought. If writers are not worthy of making money, the distribution of social wealth is too unfair.
While Li Mengjiao was reading aloud, she wanted to applaud Mr. Fu vigorously.
Alas, no wonder Xie Shen doesn't let her post for Wen Ying. No matter how many fans she has to support Wen Ying, she can't achieve the same effect as Mr. Fu!
Regardless of whether Li Mengjiao thought of it or not, Mr. Fu said that literature is closely related to the development of the times. While supporting Wen Ying, he immediately raised the purpose of the entire article. Such content, usually readers will
It seemed boring, but Mr. Fu took it step by step. Li Mengjiao, a non-literary lover, couldn't help but agree with Mr. Fu's point of view.
At the end of the article, Mr. Fu asked the literary world to give more tolerance and care to young writers like "Fish Against the Current" so that young writers can truly grow into the future mainstay of the literary world. The whole article seemed like a trickle of water converging into a sea.
Every word falls on the reader's heart, and because it is sincere, such great principles will not offend anyone at all.
Li Mengjiao put down the newspaper and took the lead in applauding, her hands turning red.
The whole class applauded.
This applause is for Mr. Fu's recognition, for Wen Ying's encouragement, and for them to express their own expectations.
Hot blood gushes from the heart, flows throughout the limbs and bones, stirring the body and mind.
Mr. Fu is talking about the literary world, but it seems that it is not just the literary world.
Mr. Fu was encouraging Wen Ying, and it seemed that he was not just encouraging Wen Ying.
A good article means that everyone is touched differently.
When young people are strong, the country is strong. Everyone here is a young man. With more encouragement and care and less reprimand and stranglehold, the future of young people will have unlimited possibilities——
"Wen Ying, no one dares to criticize you now!"
Mr. Fu was praising Wen Ying, while Li Mengjiao looked arrogant, as if she was the one who received the praise.
Wen Ying suddenly laughed.
Wen Ying said she didn't mind criticism, but she wasn't a masochist, so it would be better if she didn't get scolded.
As for whether anyone will continue to criticize her... In fact, Wen Ying also wants to know if there are any critics who have practiced Tietou Gong and are not afraid of Mr. Fu!
When Li Mengjiao and her classmates started discussing, Wen Ying turned to look at Xie Qian.
"You knew Mr. Fu would post this article a long time ago!"
"have no idea."
fraud!
Wen Ying now knew that Xie Qian did not go to Magic City during the weekend. She lowered her voice and asked, "How did you impress Mr. Fu?"
Xie Qian's throat felt a little itchy when he talked about this.
How could he possibly tell Hamster that he also wanted to save face when he read "Teenage Idol" to Mr. Fu?
"do not understand what you're saying."
Xie Qian continued to deny, and Wen Ying was so proud that she wanted to sing.
Haha, if you don't admit it, just admit it. Anyway, she just knows that Xie Qian went to see Mr. Fu!
Mr. Fu's article is only a few thousand words long. There is not a word of nonsense or a word of swearing in the whole article, but it is like hanging the critics on a tree and beating them repeatedly with bows and arrows, until their faces are as swollen as pig heads.
!
After the article was published, the critics collectively went silent.
Some critics criticized Wen Ying's article that has been sent to the newspaper. If it is not printed, it can be withdrawn. How can it be withdrawn if it has already been printed?
The critics were so anxious that they quarreled with the newspaper.
Of course the newspaper office doesn't care.
Anyway, it’s not the newspaper company that Mr. Fu is scolding, so these newspapers can still sell like hotcakes!
Critic:... Damn it, we may not be human beings, the newspaper office is a real dog!
