The King of Crossover Entertainment.

Chapter 96 0096, First Confrontation

In fact, Yunfeng could have completely ignored this matter. Let them boycott as they please. He wouldn't lose a single cent and he would still get the money he deserves.

However, you can ignore it once, but when he publishes a novel, a wave of people come to criticize him. Do they really think he is a soft persimmon that anyone can pinch?
Last time, he only responded to the president of the Martial Arts Research Association with "There are all kinds of birds in a big forest." But this time, it won't be a matter of just a few words.

Yunfeng first looked up some information about Guan Hu, the chairman of the Chang'an Writers Association, on the Internet. Only by knowing yourself and your enemy can you win a hundred battles without danger.

"Guan Hu, Chairman of the Chang'an Writers Association, Chairman of the Huaxia Journey to the West Cultural Research Association, and a famous Huaxia Xianxia novelist. He started writing in college and has created a total of 15 works to date. His representative works include "Journey to the West: The Thirty-Six Transformations of the Celestial Gang", "Journey to the West: The Seventy-Two Transformations of the Earthly Fiends", "New Theory of Conferred Gods", and "New Theory of the White Snake". He once achieved a monthly sales record of one million copies. He is a master of traditional literature..."

You don’t know until you see it, and you’ll be shocked. With this string of titles, it seems like you’ve met a big shot.

However, Guan Hu has adapted quite a few classic literary works, including "Journey to the West", "Investiture of the Gods" and "Legend of the White Snake". It seems that only the officials are allowed to set fires, but the common people are not allowed to light lamps.

After taking a quick look at two novels written by Guan Hu that are related to Journey to the West, I got a general idea of ​​what is going on.

Yunfeng logged into the Weibo circle and edited a message like this and posted it: "It is an honor for a small online writer like me to be noticed by seniors.

I personally think that most great stories are tragedies, simply because in this life, what we know and think is always limited and we have no freedom. The greatest value that a story can give people is not a false victory, but accepting the inevitable imperfections after recognizing the reality.

Journey to the West tells a story about people. The journey to the West to obtain Buddhist scriptures is full of sadness and helplessness. The West is the inevitable destination for everyone. There is no choice, and no way to turn back. "

And at the end, @Guan Hu was mentioned.

When doing things, use courtesy before force and think positively of others.

Yunfeng has no prejudice against those who write traditional literature, and at the same time, he hopes that they will not be prejudiced against those who write online literature.

After this post was published on WeChat Moments, the number of comments, likes, and reposts quickly exceeded 10,000.

Because many people are paying attention to this matter, and it has always been "The Legend of Sun Wukong" that has been criticized, and there has been no counterattack or explanation from the king of cross-border, so as soon as there is any movement, they will forward it and tell others.

[Lighthouse]: There are a thousand Sun Wukongs for every ten thousand readers. I think the unique interpretation of "Journey to the West" in "The Legend of Sun Wukong" is very good.

[Bubble Gum Chewing God]: How can it be poisoning the next generation? In my generation, I estimate that less than 0.01% of people have read the original Journey to the West. If it weren’t for The Legend of Wukong, I would never have thought of reading the original Journey to the West.

[Mr. Wei Meng]: Just look at the three novels Guan Hu wrote later and you will know that he had reached a dead end, but he did not know how to adapt. The result of his complacency was that he was replaced by innovative writers.

[Underground Invincible]: To be honest, I used to like reading Guan Hu's novels, but they went downhill as time went on, and only the first four books are worth reading.

[Torture My Brother-in-Law]: I think a classic work like Journey to the West should be interpreted from multiple perspectives before creation can be made.

……

The majority of comments on Yunfeng’s WeChat circle are in support of “The Legend of Sun Wukong”.

Even though he only has more than five million followers on Weibo, his fan activity ranks among the top 100 in personal Weibo circles.

After a while, Guan Hu also posted a message on Weibo.

"There is no doubt that adapting classics is a very serious matter. It requires not only the corresponding cultural accomplishment and artistic skills, but also requires the adapter to have a respectful attitude towards the classics themselves and the adaptation, and to make an effort to thoroughly understand the original work and be faithful to the original work before engaging in the adaptation.

For example, a classic character has been established in the minds of readers for thousands of years. If you arbitrarily change this image and its spiritual connotation today, it is not only disrespectful to the original work, but also disrespectful to the readers. I think such a work is a waste of literature without any literary value. "

The number of comments, likes, and reposts of Guan Hu's Weibo post quickly exceeded 10,000.

[Tao Zhi Yao Yao]: President Guan is right. When adapting classic works, we must have a respectful heart.

[Zhi Xin Bu Yu]: I personally agree with Chairman Guan's words. Masterpieces are works that have reached a very high level of thought and art, and not everyone can adapt them.

[Rong Yu]: If "The Legend of Sun Wukong" was an independent work, then it could get full marks for its creativity. Unfortunately, it is not. If it is re-created based on "Journey to the West", it cannot transcend the ideas spread by the Journey to the West culture.

[The Wind Will Never Die]: The King of Cross-Border is a good online writer and should be guided. He has just taken a detour, not a dead end.

[Tian Yi]: The sea of ​​suffering is boundless; it is time to turn back.

...There are many fans of traditional literature writers. Guan Hu is a famous writer, and he has also joined forces with more than 30 writers, so the total number of fans is quite a lot.

Anyway, the number of supporters on both sides is almost the same.

"Yunfeng, their aggressive posture shows that they will not give up unless you delete "The Legend of Wukong"."

Xiao Tianpeng was also paying attention to the developments on both sides.

Yunfeng smiled and said, "It's just the beginning."

Since everyone likes to talk about the original work, let's make some comments based on the original work.

A few minutes later, Yunfeng posted another microcircle.

"In fact, Journey to the West has been widely circulated among the people since its publication, and various versions have been produced. There is still controversy over whether the author is Wu Cheng'en. What we see now is a combination of various derivative versions of Journey to the West, which is very different from the original.

Is it true that Sun Wukong cannot fall in love?

You should know that in ancient rare books, Sun Wukong was originally a "lustful monkey" and a "naughty monkey", and he was not a pure person. It was not until the Qing Dynasty that he began to be corrected.

Even in the Yuan Dynasty drama, Sun Wukong was originally a sex maniac who married the princess of the Jinding Kingdom. Moreover, Sun Wukong had five brothers and sisters. Sun Wukong was the Great Sage Equaling Heaven, his elder brother was the Great Sage Equaling Heaven, he had a younger brother named Shuashua Sanlang, and he had two sisters.

Journey to the West was not written entirely by one person. There were many independent stories about Journey to the West before it was written. If we really want to use these to justify the story, the 100-chapter version of Journey to the West that we have seen is also a re-creation.”

If Yunfeng hadn't looked up information, he wouldn't have known that "Journey to the West" had so many twists and turns.

"Yunfeng, is what you said true? You are not making it up, right?"

Xiao Tianpeng looked at this micro circle and was immediately surprised.

Yunfeng said seriously: "These are all recorded in historical documents. Besides, if I were to argue with them with something I made up, wouldn't that just make me look ridiculous?"

Xiao Tianpeng thought about it and it made sense. Doing this was equivalent to digging a hole for himself to fall into.

Yunfeng was looking forward to Guan Hu’s next Weibo post, and since he was the president of the Journey to the West Cultural Research Association of China, it was impossible for him not to know what he was talking about.

However, after waiting for a long time, there was no response from Guan Hu.

"No, is this the end?"

Yunfeng has just become interested.

Seeing that there was no follow-up, Xiao Tianpeng threw his phone on the table and changed the subject: "Yunfeng, I was outside the dormitory door just now and heard you singing Black Pineapple. What song was that? And there was fruit in it."

Yunfeng laughed and said, "That's not fruit, that's 'I like you' in Cantonese."

Xiao Tianpeng was surprised and asked, "How come you can speak Cantonese?"

Yunfeng half-jokingly said: "I know a lot of languages, both foreign and domestic. I want to lay a solid foundation for becoming a world superstar, right?"

"Tsk." Xiao Tianpeng didn't believe it at all. He just smiled and asked, "Do you have any other intentions when you put the Cantonese version of 'like you' in the song? I remember Tang Yu seems to be from Guangzhou."

Yunfeng flatly denied it: "What are you talking about? It's not true."

Xiao Tianpeng’s girlfriend Xu Mengwei is Tang Yu’s roommate. It’s not a big surprise if the news leaks out.

Xiao Tianpeng did not ask further, and said: "I am not saying anything bad about you, but if you like Tang Yu, you should confess your feelings earlier, otherwise someone else will get there first and regret it later."

Yunfeng felt that this made sense, but he had to find a suitable opportunity.
