Backtracking to the Age of Literature and Art

Chapter 88 What do you think?
Yu Dong was not surprised by what Yan Geling said.The set of procedures in the United States is always different from that in China.

In fact, the United States cannot represent foreign countries either.In the field of literature, the history of the United States is too short to be compared with countries such as France, Russia, and Germany.

If you find a person who is engaged in literature in China to ask you which writer you like, generally speaking, it is people from the above three countries, and it may be Italy, Spain, Neon, etc., and the United States is rarely mentioned. .

Of course, there is another thing that has to be mentioned is Latin America.

In recent years, magical realism has gradually become known to the public, and Latin American writers such as García Márquez and Rulfo also have many fans in China.

Some people say that the United States is a literary desert. This is a bit too much. Looking back at history, the United States has produced many good writers.For example, Faulkner, Hemingway and O'Henry, whom domestic writers like very much.

Yan Geling's works in the middle and later stages have become more and more popular and stereotyped, which actually has a lot to do with her experience in the United States.

On the one hand, she was influenced by this set of writing ideas, and felt that she could write good works through process-based training.On the other hand, during this period of time, she was suffering from money, so she naturally sought some popular things in her works.

Later, when I sold the copyright and became a screenwriter, I became more and more firm in my ideas.

"Yu Dong, do you have any thoughts after listening to the opinions of teachers Ge Fei and Yan Geling?"

Yu Dong turned his head to look, and it was Sun Ganlu who was talking.

Sun Ganlu actually saw that the atmosphere at the scene was a little cold, so he wanted to find someone to start the conversation again.The reason why he chose Yu Dong was because the chance encounter this morning made him interested in Dong.

Furthermore, Yu Dong is the youngest here, so it's easier to talk.

"I think this process in the United States has merit." Yu Dong did not back down, and directly stated his point of view.

A young man at the other end said, "Does that mean there is still something undesirable?"

Yu Dong looked at the young man who was speaking and recalled the other party's information.This person is called Zhou Nan. It is not clear where he is from, but he is definitely not a local. He belongs to the kind of writer who went to Shanghai to find a chance to become famous.

He asked this, it sounded a bit like word-picking, not very friendly.But no one thinks that there is anything, young people, it is not a bad thing to express their opinions and write passionately.

Yu Dong frowned and continued: "It's not that there are any disadvantages, but this method has limitations. Americans want to write good stories, so these training methods they have come up with are all It is for the service of the story. But you also know that literature is not all about the story, but more about a perspective, an attitude, and a way of thinking.”

"The story is not unimportant, right? If the story is not well written, how can it show the perspective, attitude and way of thinking?" Zhou Nan said again.

Yu Dong glanced at Zhou Nan and ignored it. He had already made up his mind that this guy was pushing hard.He clearly said that "literature is not all about stories", but when he went to Zhou Nan, it became the saying that "story is not important".

He continued to look at Sun Ganlu and the others and said, "When they hear this training method in the United States, many people may be thinking, isn't this the creative model of popular literature?"

Hearing Yu Dong's words, many people nodded, obviously their thoughts were caught by Yu Dong.

Yu Dong went on to say, "But we have to admit that popular literature is also literature. Popular literature lies in its storytelling, which allows more readers to understand, resonate, and entertain. And pure literature may not be able to take a look at the story. If you don't do training, there will be problems in the expression of literature, and the attitude of literature may also be deviated. So I say that what Teacher Yan Geling said is desirable."

In fact, Yu Dong still has something to say. What he actually wants to say is that everyone should not read popular novels with tinted glasses. It is not impossible for pure literature writers to write popular novels.

Since popular novels can be entertaining and entertaining, shouldn’t writers have a little more sense of social responsibility and convey some positive things to a wider audience?
If you blindly pursue attitudes, perspectives, and ways of thinking, the final result will definitely be high and few, and cause many people's misunderstandings.

When the concept of serious literature was raised before, some pure literature writers also criticized these serious literatures.It is believed that serious literary writers pay too much attention to the current social phenomena and government activities, ignoring the fundamentals of people themselves.

When the times change, these serious literatures will be abandoned in the corners. (In the eyes of many writers, serious literature and pure literature are separate, serious literature pays more attention to the social phenomena of the times and focuses on politics)
But Yu Dong believes that as a person living in this era, whether you write pure literature, serious literature, or popular literature, it is impossible to erase the brand of the times.

And sometimes, no one can separate serious literature from pure literature, and the boundary is something that everyone sets by themselves.

What Yu Dong didn't say is that he believes that if he believes too much in this kind of process training in the United States, it will inevitably produce stereotyped works, which will hinder the author's literary thinking.

And the reason why he didn't say much was also considering that today's occasion was not suitable.

In fact, even if he only said this, some people at the scene had opinions in their hearts.

After all, Yu Dong is the youngest and has published few works, which makes some people feel uncomfortable.

They were probably thinking, why should a young boy in Yu Dong stand up and give pointers to Jiangshan, and he really took himself seriously.

Zhou Nan, who scolded Yu Dong before, thought so, especially when he saw Yu Dong ignored him later, he felt even more resentful in his heart.

It's just that he was about to pick on Yu Dong's fault, and Ge Fei suddenly said, "I agree with Yu Dong's statement, this training method in the United States is indeed desirable. At least a lot of reading and a lot of writing, It’s not different from what we’ve advocated before. Writers can’t just rely on a pen and dig into what to write on their own every day, and then they’ll fall into the embarrassing situation where anyone can write and no one can.”

Seeing Ge Fei standing up to support Yu Dong, Zhou Nan opened his mouth, but in the end he didn't have the courage to say anything else.He could offend Yu Dong, but he didn't dare to offend Ge Fei.

Cheng Yongxing, who has not spoken much, said with a smile, "In fact, no matter what, it is a good thing to have more ideas. I hope our domestic writers can do more experiments, and literature will not be static. There is a saying that Well, only change is constant. In fact, what we have always been looking for in "Harvest" is change, so I hope everyone can support more in the future, so that we can find our own direction on the road of change."

When Cheng Yongxing spoke, Yan Geling had been paying attention to Yu Dong's side.What Yu Dong said just now touched her a little.Moreover, when Yu Dong heard about the writing training methods in the United States, his reaction was obviously different from that of others. It seemed that he knew these things very well.
