Chapter 478: Water Margin for All
After the National Literature Awards Conference, the practice of including "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" as the "must-read book for young people" advocated by Professor Chen Shirang was immediately implemented. In addition, "Journey to the West" and "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", there were three books in total. Now, with the popularity of "Water Margin", it will inevitably be included in the book list in time.
Not only that, the high school student's Chinese Language Reading Book published in December included the 41st chapter of "The Eighteen Cavalry of Yanyun, Eighteen Riders, Rising like a tiger, wind and smoke", as well as the original novel of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", which won the Oscar for the best foreign language film in the movie of the same name.
If it is acceptable to everyone to include Gu Yongsheng’s martial arts in the “must-read book list”, then directly including the content of Gu Yongsheng’s martial arts in the compulsory book of full-time ordinary high schools will inevitably cause controversy among all parties.
Critics insist that martial arts novels are entertainment novels, and their ideological level is not high. The scenes of fighting, killing and romance plots involved will cause bad guidance to students.
To this end, the head of the Chinese language office of the People's Education Press came forward to explain: "The reason why Gu Yongsheng's martial arts novels was chosen was to expand the reading horizons of middle school students. There was no compulsory meaning. Although the reading book was included in the compulsory scope, it was ultimately an extracurricular reading material. Moreover, high school students already had the ability to distinguish good and evil.
It is normal to controversy, because the subject of Chinese is an inclusive subject, and students’ extracurricular reading should also be extensive. If you don’t like it, you can argue."
Although "Chinese Reader" does not need to be sent to the Ministry of Education for review as an auxiliary textbook, the choice of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" is not so easy. One is a number of works to choose from, and the other is a proportion of one in a hundred. The status and literary significance of martial arts novels are still different.
To be cautious, when identifying selected articles, the relevant person in charge invited university teachers, front-line special teachers and editors of "Reading Books" to discuss together, and three discussions were held before the final decision was finalized.
The explanation of the head of the Chinese language office did not suppress the debate on the Internet, and now everyone is particularly looking forward to the parties involved to come forward and express a few opinions. Liu Jingting was not disturbed by the reporter and responded on the micro blog: "Take the essence."
Since receiving the Literature Award, Liu Jingting and all the editors of "Jinglu" have been deliberately keeping a low profile.
The highest national literary award is not only an honor and protection umbrella, but also a source of various disputes. However, after Liu Jingting issued the so-called presidential order to "keep low-key", "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" became a must-read book, and "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" was selected as a high school reading book.
"Do you think I can't find you if you hide? It's useless. You are such a cool man. No matter where you are, you are like a firefly in the dark, so distinctive and outstanding..."
Liu Jingting looked at the news one by one, and the scene in "Domestic Lingling Paint" that the pork prince Zhou Xingxing tried to deny the prostitution money while holding a melancholy look.
In December, Liu Jingting basically finished all the social events and activities, and stayed honestly at Yingri Building to write the fourth part of "Water Margin" and "Harry Potter Series" - "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire".
Harry fans must still remember that before the sale of "Ha 4" was sold, there was a burst of hot discussion among the readers, because before the novel was published, JK Rowling revealed that a character would be murdered in the fourth part, and at that time, a large number of readers thought that it might be the other two in the trio.
Although after the novel was released, everyone knows that it was not Hermione and Ron who were murdered. The readers' tension did not weaken at all, because Voldemort set up a black magic conspiracy in this film and successfully resurrected.
When the New Year comes with Big Ben. The news that "One will be murdered in Harry Potter 4" also expands to the world with the sound of the bell.
...
"Did you release the message?"
When readers all over the world began to discuss who would be murdered in "Ha 4", Xu Qing, on behalf of several other editors, questioned Liu Jingting, who had just asked for "keep low-key".
"Yes." Liu Jingting confessed.
“Why? Marketing Strategy?”
"Yes." Liu Jingting said: "Aunt Qing, you know that every move of this book will attract the attention of the whole world. Whether for publishers or for WB, this kind of topic is more and more good. Moreover, I have done my best to get this news out of London."
"Okay, this question is over, so what. Will anyone really be murdered?"
"yes."
"who?"
"."
After a brief pause, Liu Jingting guessed that everyone might be going to the role of "Qianxun". Sure enough, after a while, Su Jin replied: "That elegant and rational boy, who is called a talented man who "has all the excellent student qualities of Hogwarts"?"
"Um."
"..." It's completely a smoke bomb.
"I thought it was Hermione, Ron, or Dumbledore, and Hagrid." Chang Youdao replied.
Everyone chatted for a while, and Liu Jingting asked about recruitment.
"It's really strange to say. When I was in college, I felt that senior students were all old-fashioned and had no vitality. The boys were uncles and girls were aunts. But these days I reviewed the resumes of college students and found that these newly graduated college students were all young and fresh meats and little loli. Is it me alone?"
When Su Jin saw the boss asking about recruitment, he complained with emotion.
As a result, Qingjiao and Kang Lingyue replied one after another, but the boys didn’t have any special feelings: “I always felt that I was still young, and it seemed that when I was in my senior year, I was misunderstood as a freshman.”
Such remarks were criticized by all ladies, including Xu Qing.
After the New Year, Yingri Culture joined a graduate student girl. She is from Northeast China and is named Zhao Man. She is temporarily responsible for the work of Liu Jingting's assistant.
Even though Zhao Man, a leader who stood out from thousands of talents across the country, came to the legendary place of "Yingri Building" for the first time, was so nervous that he was a little breathing.
"Are graduate students so young? Fall!" After seeing Zhao Man himself, Su Jin couldn't help but complain in the editorial group.
This recruitment marks the beginning of the direction of formalization and at least slightly formalization under the planning of Liu Jingting.
...
In March of the New Year, King Chao took over Liangshanpo. Two months later, Wu Song fought against tigers on Jingyanggang, and the serialization of "Water Margin" ended here.
In June, "Water Margin" was launched nationwide. At the same time, Liu Jingting's British publishing partner Sbury announced the title of the fourth part of "Harry Potter" and the global debut time.
As we all know, "Harry Potter" has set a number of precedents in the children's book publishing industry, such as the publishing house set up a cover design studio for children's books for the first time, and conducts simultaneous sales around the world, starting midnight, and promoting from children to adult readers.
Such a comprehensive, large-scale, innovative marketing campaign is like a marketing mobilization time and time again, and the results are also spectacular.
Because of his successful acquisition of the publication rights of "Harry Potter", sbury Publishing House ranks second in the UK, but it is well-known in the children's book publishing industry and is not inferior to first-class publishing companies such as Landon and Penguin.
However, for Chinese readers at this moment, the news about "Harry Potter" still seems a bit far away. With the launch of the entire book "Water Margin", the "Water Margin Fever" has been endless in China!
"Water Margin" is well deserved to be a great book in the literary world in China and the world, because its publication itself is a grand event in the literary world. It is no longer the Four Books and Five Classics, Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism, no longer the poetry and prose, but a pure "wild language and village language", which attracted countless commentators with flamboyant personality to shout and shout, scaring countless feudal defenders to shout and kill.
Even when it was launched by Liu Jingting at this time, the sensational effect was still there.
Speaking of writing, "Water Margin" is the first work written purely in ancient vernacular Chinese. It has a narrative dialogue and no longer has the "that is" again. It speaks the same person and perfectly practices the writing technique of language shaping personality;
Speaking of architecture, the first seventy chapters of "Water Margin" are connected in series. After seventy chapters, all rivers gather and return to the sea. This is an outstanding creation of novel architecture;
When talking about characters, "Water Margin" writes about 108 characters, and writes about 108 personalities, each with its own face, and is definitely different or different.
It is about Jiangzhou City robbing the Dharma Field, and it is also about Daming Mansion robbing the Dharma Field, which is the same but different; it is about Pan Jinlian stealing people, and it is also about Pan Qiaoyun stealing people, which is the same but different; it is about Wu Song fighting tigers, and it is also about Li Kui fighting tigers, which is the same but different...
Of course, the discussion and summary of these novel techniques and grammar belongs to the few experts and scholars. Most readers are concerned about the endless wonderful stories presented by the novel.
For example, the story of Lu Zhishen and Lin Chong, who were discussed hundreds of times during the serialization;
For example, the story of Yang Zhi selling his sword; the story of the seven stars gathering together; the story of Wu Yongzhi taking the birthday gift;
Lin Chonghuo and Shuizhai showed his cruelty; Song Jiang angrily killed Yan Poxi and was angered by the scholar; Wang Po used Ximen Qing and Pan Jinlian, which was a lustful plot and a long time;
Song Jiang met Dai Zong and sneaked into the sea; Li Kui fought against Zhang Shun and didn't know each other...
After the novel was officially launched, no one mentioned Liu Jingting's "One Hundred and Eight Protagonists' bet" and may have been realized after the fourth or fifth serialization.
"The whole book of "Water Margin" has more than a million words, allowing him to write so many classic plots, so many classic characters, and so many classic paragraphs. Putting aside other influences, we will only count based on the artistic techniques and maturity of the novel. "Water Margin" should be above "Journey to the West" and "Romance of the Three Kingdoms".
"Unlike the Romance of the Three Kingdoms writing about military and political strategies and national affairs, "Water Margin" seems more down-to-earth and has a wider audience. Readers who like to read history can watch the heroes of Liangshan beat Gao Qiu, readers who like to read martial arts can watch the flower monk making a big fuss in the wild boar forest, Wu Song getting drunk and taking revenge, Yan Qing rushing to Optimus Prime, and even readers who like to be more peculiar can watch Ximen Qingzhi chasing Pan Jinlian.
In this way, it should be very objective and fair to rated "Water Margin" as a legendary book of history." (To be continued)
