Rebirth of the Great Era 1993
Chapter 282, rave reviews
Grandma is a bear!
Looking at these titles, this old face turns red.
But even though I was blushing, I was also really proud.
Why are you proud?
That's because there is capital!
After the publication of the "Latent" novel, it caused a storm among readers and the literary world.
Yes, it's a storm.
Let’s talk about the readers first.
7 days!
Only 7 days!
The first printing of 500,000 copies was quickly sold out as readers queued up to buy it.
All major Xinhua bookstores across the country are out of stock.
For this reason, Zhang Xuan almost called People's Literature and cursed.
I really want to yell at you, I want to call you a bunch of short-sighted people!
How can we achieve great things if we occupy a good situation but don't have the courage to break tradition?
Everything must be planned according to the needs of Xinhua Bookstore, why don't you go to heaven!
What's the use of you!
Zhang Xuan was so angry that he jumped up and down, what a loss! What a shame!
Just such a short supply will definitely steal a big piece of meat from pirated booksellers.
money! This is all money!
Zhang Xuan was so angry that he was unable to change the situation, so he simply stopped watching this kind of news and skipped to read other news.
Hey, the People's Daily also reported it?
In response to this popular phenomenon, the People's Daily published a special issue to marvel at it, using the phrase "Luoyang paper is expensive" to describe the huge sales of "lurking" novels.
As for the literary world, this time it was completely detonated by "lurking".
"Latent" novels are like a high-voltage cluster bomb suddenly dropped into the calm lake of the literary world.
Then there was a loud "bang" sound.
All the big and small fish were blown out.
The first big fish is Zhou Feng, president of People's Literature.
Let’s take a look at how Zhou Feng, the current president of People’s Literature, commented on “lurking” in newspapers across the country.
Zhou Feng’s original words in the newspaper were:
For the contemporary Chinese literary world, March's writing is undoubtedly a unique approach.
The existence of this person has become impossible to ignore. He is so tenacious, absolute and stubborn.
His writing is mysterious, magical, and unfathomable, with mysteries lurking everywhere, making people breathless.
March powerfully expands the imagination of the Chinese people. He brought some universal themes into Chinese literature, such as the absurdity of human intelligence and the arrogance of will. He transformed the wars and revolutions, conspiracies and violence experienced by the Chinese people into a dark legend of the human condition.
In my opinion: "Latent" is a groundbreaking masterpiece, destined to be remembered by history. "
Shanghai Stock Exchange.
After reading Zhou Feng's high praise, Zhou Rongwen was looking at the "lurking" Wen Tuyuan:
"Is this book really that good?"
Wen Tuyuan closed the book, closed his eyes and thought for a while, then said:
"The book "Insidious" is different from the books I have read in the past. It has characters, stories, and core, but my level is not enough to evaluate it.
But the old man seemed to like it very much. After reading it, he directly gave Yuan Sheng an order. "
Lin Yuansheng is Wen Hui's younger uncle. He serves as the vice president of a publishing house and is also a calligraphy and painting collector.
"oh?"
Zhou Rong yelled, a little curious: "What order was given to him?"
Wen Tuyuan replied: "The old man wants the "lurking" manuscript."
At this point, Wen Tuyuan looked at his wife dumbfounded: "Maybe you don't know how rare the March manuscript is, right?
Yuan Sheng once complained to me privately that it was rumored that the Anchang Club in Beijing spent 500,000 yuan on the manuscript of "The Wind" last time, and he had to find hard connections to buy it from the writer March.
If it doesn't matter, there are no doors.
However, "lurking" and "wind" are not the same, and their literary value is far greater than them, not to mention how precious the manuscript is.
Even where the writer March is and what he looks like, few people in the cultural circles have seen him. "
Zhou Rong stared at her husband for a while and asked funnyly: "Did Yuan Sheng tell me how much it would cost to buy an edition of such a manuscript?"
Wen Yuantu shook his head, opened the book and said: "This is no longer a question of money, but a question of whether to sell or not.
There were reports in newspapers a while ago that March earned tens of millions from the book "The Wind".
This man is no longer short of money, and literati are all dignified and cherish their own manuscripts. Without that connection, it would be impossible to buy them.
Again, it’s the same sentence: newspapers are speculating about what March himself is like every day? where do you live?
If these problems are not resolved, the sale will not start. "
After hearing this, Zhou Rong chuckled.
Wen Tuyuan looked confused: "What are you laughing at?"
Zhou Rong answered the question: "Did Yuan Sheng find out?"
Wen Tuyuan said: "He contacted People's Literature, and the reply he got was that only three people from People's Literature had met March in person, and one of them was a photographer."
Zhou Rong asked: "Did you ask?"
Wen Tuyuan replied: "No, they are very strict."
Zhou Rong came up with an idea and said: "I think you are thinking wrong. Didn't you read the reports in the newspapers? "Latent" is attacking the Mao Dun Literary Award.
And many people in the industry are extremely optimistic about it.
Maybe before February, you can see the image of receiving the award in March, and then the problem of not being able to find people will naturally be solved. "
Wen Tuyuan directly rejected it: "This issue has been thought about for a long time. But at that time, it was definitely not just the old man who wanted the manuscript. It is estimated that many people wanted it.
The number of such manuscripts must be limited, and the competition will be fierce. Compared with those rich people who spend a lot of money, Yuansheng's financial resources will not be enough. "
Zhou Rong glanced at his daughter on the sofa, then at Du Shuangling and Zou Qingzhu who were next to her daughter.
She moved her lips, but in the end she said nothing.
It's not that Zhou Rong is hiding it selfishly, but that she doesn't want to embarrass her precious daughter.
Since Yuan Sheng said the manuscript was so rare. The relationship with the daughter may not be enough. If the deal fails, it will easily affect the relationship between the daughter and her friends.
Of course, if Yuansheng himself discovers his daughter's friendship with that Yue Yue and that Zhang Xuan, he won't be able to stop it. It depends on their abilities.
Beijing.
A local young man from Beijing mocked Jin Yong at the event and said: "You southerners can't write well, let alone high-level stories."
Unexpectedly, Jin Yong took out a half-read "Latent" from his bag and calmly told the young man:
“Even if I don’t know how to do it, among the southerners there are Lu Xun, Yu Qiuyu and March.
Young man, I suggest you read this "Latent", and you will understand what a truly good article is and what a truly good story is. "
Shaanxi.
I remember interviewing Lao Chen: "It is now going viral in the industry that on August 1, a symposium was held within People's Literature to submit candidates for the Mao Dun Literary Award. Your "White Deer Plain" was completely defeated by the new book "Latent" in March."
Is there such a thing? "
Lao Chen took a puff of cigarette and admitted.
The reporter then asked: "Everyone says that your "White Deer Plain" is a rare classic.
But you were unlucky and the opponent you encountered was too strong. What do you think of this? "
Lao Chen took another puff of cigarette and said slowly: "Someone told me that March, who wrote "The Wind", was a talented writer, and March, who wrote "Latent", deserved greatness.
I was still a little angry at first, but after watching "Insidious" three times, I agreed with it.
March has expanded the sky of today's literature and made a huge contribution. Such talents are rare for a century, and history will respect them. "
The reporter finally asked: "Now that "lurking" is popular across the country, do you have anything to say to March?"
Lao Chen faced the camera and said: "There is Xintian Tour in Shaanxi, and I have wine. I hope that one day I can travel to the Yellow Land with March and get drunk."
Mr. Ji Lao, a master of Chinese studies and critic, directly commented in the newspaper: "In the Chinese literary world, after Lu Xun and Mao Dun, there was Yu Qiuyu, and now there is March.
The new book in March is "Latent," one of the best contemporary novels in mainland China. It will still shine brightly in the history of literature a hundred years later.
Zhang Xuan flipped through more than 40 newspapers in one breath and was pleased to find that most of them were positive reviews.
It was very useful to him, very comfortable, and his heart was swelling rapidly at this moment.
Because this time is different.
Compared with those who praised the "wind" in the past, this time those who praised the "lurk" are all well-known celebrities, all of whom are very important in the industry.
Among the many positive reviews, the one that surprised him the most was Lao Chen.
After watching Lao Chen's news interview, Zhang Xuan fell silent.
This is a person with a big heart!
He admired it very much!
No matter whether what Lao Chen said was sincere or not. But facing the media, it takes great perseverance for a literary person to be honest about his failures and admit the excellence of his opponents.
Since ancient times, there has been a tradition of literati scorning each other, and there are not many people who start to criticize each other because of trivial matters.
Lao Chen, you are very good and thoughtful.
Watching Lao Chen's interview again, Zhang Xuan was thinking that if he had the opportunity in the future, he could really go to Shaanxi.
Go have a drink with Lao Chen, travel around the loess land, and find two beautiful girls from northern Shaanxi...
Oops! It is impossible to say that this will also be a lie passed down from generation to generation in the future.
Of course, there is a prerequisite for this.
Both won the Mao Dun Literature Prize.
Otherwise, if neither person has obtained it, or one person has obtained it but the other has not, how can they still meet?
Then the meeting is not about drinking, traveling around the Yellow Land, and seeing girls. Instead, they glared at each other to add to the confusion.
Of course, there are good and bad comments, and one of the idiots jumped out again.

I haven't checked it yet, it's a bit urgent...
