Chapter 1601 The profound connotation of the paper
When he first heard the news, Yu Fei felt very happy, but soon, a melancholy expression appeared on his face again.
"Isn't it right? This paper doesn't seem to be able to change public opinion, and it may even be harmful."
"Handong University must have good intentions, but this may be exploited by the Anti-Tengda Alliance."
Cui Geng didn't know why and asked: "Why do you say that?"
Yu Fei explained: "The requirements for undergraduate graduation thesis are not high to begin with. No matter how advanced it is, can an excellent thesis still be successful?"
"Let alone undergraduate thesis, if you show the thesis of doctoral students or even postdoctoral fellows to ordinary people, what will they understand? You still have to find faults."
"The Anti-Tengda Alliance only needs to find a few experts and scholars at this time to carefully pick out the flaws in Mr. Pei's paper, and use a magnifying glass to look for problems. They will always find some breakthroughs."
"Then, they can use these flaws to continue to attack Mr. Pei's academic level, and even attack Handong University's fairness and rationality in selecting outstanding graduation thesis."
"In other words, Mr. Pei's paper was only written to the level of an outstanding undergraduate, which is completely insufficient."
"In the past, the Anti-Tengda Alliance had many attacks on Mr. Pei, but they only caught the point that most of Mr. Pei's passing scores in exams had passed. Although these have an impact, the impact will not be great. After all, everyone knows Mr. Pei.
Even with a busy work schedule and a passing grade on an insignificant exam, it won't hurt Mr. Pei's image."
"But thesis is different. The graduation thesis is a concentrated expression of a graduate's thoughts. If some tricks are exposed in this aspect and the other party catches it, it will be difficult to handle!"
Cui Geng smiled when he heard this: "So you are worried about this?"
"Your worries are indeed justified, but don't worry, after reading this paper, you will know that your worries are unnecessary!"
"It will be difficult for those with ulterior motives to find fault with this paper."
"Don't underestimate the professor of Handong University. Who is Mr. Kong? He is an academic leader! Will the paper he nodded to be a mediocre paper?"
Now Yu Fei was even more curious. What kind of paper would make it difficult for sunspots to find faults with it?
It seems that in order to achieve this, Yu Fei must meet three conditions.
First, this paper should not be too esoteric or difficult to understand. It should be understandable by ordinary people. Otherwise, it will naturally fall into the position of being too high-minded, and it will also fall into the dilemma of arguing with some scholars with ulterior motives about complex theories.
Only when ordinary people can understand it can we have a broad mass base.
Second, he must be very constructive and have a certain depth. He must put forward concepts that have not been proposed by others and make everyone feel bright.
Otherwise, some people will definitely say that this paper is copying others' wisdom and copying the experience of predecessors. More seriously, some people may directly accuse it of imitation and plagiarism.
Third, this paper must have a large amount of empirical evidence, and use facts to silence those who want to find fault.
Theories without empirical evidence are just castles in the air. Many liberal arts theories are reasonable what you say, and what I say makes sense. No one can convince anyone. Once you enter this situation, you will not have any advantage.
But if one side has very successful examples to support its argument, the situation becomes completely different.
But Yu Fei also knew that this requirement was too high, and it was definitely not something that an ordinary undergraduate could achieve.
The first two points are inherently contradictory. How can a paper be understandable to ordinary people and also constructive and in-depth? It is not easy to make it accessible to both refined and popular people.
The third point is even more difficult. The combination of theoretical research and practical results is to achieve the unity of knowledge and action.
For ordinary undergraduates, this is simply an impossible task! But if this person is Mr. Pei, there may be hope.
Yu Fei couldn't help but look forward to it even more, and immediately clicked on Mr. Pei's paper to check it out.
The title of this article is "Theory of Creation and Communication of Popular Literary and Art Works in the Internet Era".
Seeing this title, Yu Fei couldn't help but take a breath of cold air.
The topic is too big.
As expected, Mr. Pei is Mr. Pei, from a high position. He wrote such a big title as soon as he came up. A feeling of strong self-confidence was overwhelming.
The structure of the article is very clear, without much foreshadowing. It starts with the abstract and keywords and gets right to the point.
The first part of the article is an analysis of the difficulties faced by popular literary and artistic works in the current Internet era.
There are three main dilemmas, namely the separation between traditional literary and artistic works and ordinary people, the invasion of Western cultural works, and the impact of fast food culture and placebo entertainment models.
The so-called popular literary and artistic works are meant to face ordinary people. They must meet the demands of ordinary people and express the aspirations of ordinary people. At least they should be works that ordinary people like to hear and see, and they should convey simple and excellent values to the people at the bottom.
However, many authors of traditional literary and artistic works have been separated from social trends for a long time, and it is difficult for them to understand the real cultural demands of ordinary people, especially young people. Their contents still remain in the past era, and to some extent even appear
The tendency to break away from the masses of the people.
Many intellectuals consider themselves superior to others and believe that ordinary people are ignorant and difficult to educate, while art is elegant and superior.
As a result, these traditional works have become increasingly disconnected from the demands of ordinary people.
At the same time, the invasion of Western cultural works has made ordinary people more and more influenced by Western values and gradually deviated from traditional Chinese culture.
With its strong cultural and industrial production capacity, the Western world has produced many seemingly excellent works. But are the values contained in these excellent works necessarily correct? Are they necessarily flawless? Not necessarily.
In recent years, more and more people have realized that the values contained in so-called Western blockbusters are becoming more and more distorted, increasingly deviating from the simple and true human emotions, and are especially incompatible with the traditional cultural heritage passed down from generation to generation in the country.
And the communication of this kind of values often has some ulterior secrets.
In addition, the impact of fast food culture and placebo entertainment models has also posed a huge obstacle to the development and dissemination of popular literary and artistic works in the Internet era.
The so-called fast food culture is originally a neutral term. People need to take in nutrients, but fast food can also provide people with convenience and cheap satisfaction. It is originally a very normal cultural phenomenon.
But when fast food culture develops excessively, it becomes an unhealthy state.
Just like when people get tired of home-cooked meals, it’s okay to eat fast food once in a while. But if you completely replace your daily food and eat fast food every meal, then sooner or later all kinds of diseases will come to your door.
The same is true for the cultural industry. It’s okay to occasionally take a look at fast food culture and get some simple entertainment. But if a person’s spiritual life only has fast food culture and no in-depth thinking, then his spiritual world must be barren.
Over time, problems will inevitably arise in his thinking.
What’s even more frightening is that as fast food culture continues to develop, it has become a placebo model!
These creators and producers of placebo culture fill people's lives with entertainment and products full of sensory stimulation, using direct, fast and cheap entertainment modes to divert their attention and dissatisfaction, allowing them to indulge in low-level happiness.
Unable to extricate themselves from it, they gradually lose the ability to think about real problems, and even completely lose the ability to learn and long-term planning!
These three situations are obviously contents that must be avoided and fought against in the creation process of popular literary and artistic works in the Internet era.
If this series of problems are not resolved, there will inevitably be greater and greater fragmentation in the cultural field.
Literary and artistic creators began to become separated from the masses, and the content they created only played a role in a small range of spiritual life and was unable to have a positive impact on the world and social reality.
With the continuous invasion of Western values, traditional values have been subverted, and those who defend traditional values and those who accept Western values have become increasingly incompatible.
Fierce frictions will even break out in many fields, and ideological conflicts will evolve into real conflicts.
And those low-level entertainment and placebo-style entertainment will gradually sweep across the entire cultural and entertainment market at the bottom, causing the people at the bottom to lose their motivation to think and improve.
As a result, different groups of people will become more and more separated due to various factors such as class, environment, values, etc., and become groups that cannot understand each other, thus further strengthening the information cocoon effect.
This will obviously induce very serious and terrible consequences.
Based on this dilemma, the paper then puts forward the necessary factors for the creation and dissemination of popular literary and artistic works in the Internet era.
First of all, it is the connotation rooted in the foundation of traditional culture and the cultural appeal of the general public.
In the Internet age, popular literary and artistic works cannot completely break away from the foundation of traditional culture, nor can they deviate from the cultural demands of the people. They must always be created from the perspective of ordinary people. They must not fall into the predicament of being high-minded and blindly self-proclaimed, nor can they become the intrusion and severance of Western values.
An accomplice to the inheritance of traditional culture.
Only by meeting the requirements of the times and the demands of ordinary people can we fulfill the mission entrusted by the times.
Secondly, the work itself must be contemporary, trendy, and even prophetic.
It is not enough to simply reflect the times. Excellent literary and artistic works must also have a certain degree of trendiness and even predictability. They must predict in advance problems that may occur in the future and provide warnings.
This is not unfounded worry, but planning ahead!
Finally, in terms of expression, these works must be compact and eye-catching.
The reason why many literary and artistic works with profound connotations are difficult to have a wide impact is because the expression of emotions is lengthy and difficult, making it difficult for ordinary people to arouse interest in reading, or even pay attention.
If a work cannot attract the attention of as many people as possible, how can its impact be improved?
For serious works, this is certainly not a problem. Because serious works are naturally highbrow, and if you want to understand them, you need to have high literary attainments.
But for popular literary and artistic works in the Internet age, if they cannot do this, they cannot be called excellent works.
Because the mission of popular literary and artistic works in the Internet age is to spread positive values to ordinary people. If others block their ears and don’t want to listen, how can you fulfill such a mission?
