Rebirth of Rural Literary Life

Chapter 532 Li Tuo's Embarrassment

Li Tuo has been struggling recently, and Yang Mo, the editor-in-chief of "Beijing Literature", invited him to be the deputy editor-in-chief of the magazine.

Yang Mo was also an author before, but later he joined "Beijing Literature" and became the editor-in-chief of the magazine. At that time, Wang Meng and Su Xinqun were deputy editors, and Wang Meng was a part-time job.

Yang Mo and Su Xinqun will be retiring at the end of this year. If there is no accident next year, Lin Jinlan should be the editor-in-chief. The leadership of the entire editorial department will be changed. military spirit.

This is the case in history. In 86, Lin Jinlan became the editor-in-chief of "Jingcheng Literature", and Li Tuo and Chen Shichong, the former director of the editorial department, served as deputy editors. The three partners achieved the golden age of "Jingcheng Literature".

Li Tuo, Yang Mo, Lin Jinlan, including Wang Meng, are old friends.

When the old friend spoke, it was really hard for him to refuse.

But he had agreed to He Ping in advance to be the editor-in-chief of Vegetable Garden, and he had been contacting editors and authors for Vegetable Garden before. Many people expressed their intention to cooperate. Unreasonable.

After thinking about it for several days, I finally declined Yang Mo's invitation.

"Old Yang, I'm really sorry. I've already agreed to He Ping, and it's too rude to pick someone up now." Li Tuo said to Yang Mo on the phone.

"Oh, I understand. Who told us to say it late, then I will contact other people."

In [-], it should be regarded as a relatively important node in modern domestic literature.Because in this year, "root-seeking literature" and "pioneering literature" flattened the domestic literary world with a kind of horizontal development, and the unity and integrity of domestic serious literature began to divide. It has obvious intergenerational and group characteristics.

Jia Pingwa, A Cheng, Han Shaogong, Mo Yan, Wang Anyi, Tashi Dawa, Zheng Wanlong, Wure Ertu, Li Hangyu, etc., they are not only the main writers of "root-seeking literature", but also the pioneers of "root-seeking literature" criticism Role.It can even be said that they also laid the theoretical foundation for the study of "root-seeking literature" in later generations.

He Ping has become less and less interested in such works published in newspapers and magazines in the past two years, which is one of the reasons why he is too lazy to write.

Maybe it was tired of the proliferation of "new era literature" such as root-seeking literature. In the 90s, "personalized writing" became a literary trend, and the most famous representative was Wang Shuo.

Literature|Changes in trends are of course not only summed up by the word flood, the rise of the style of "personalized writing" is also caused by the transformation of society, politics and economy.

Therefore, in the 90s, the most important feature of this obvious change in domestic literature is "lightness", "lightness" has become a new literary orientation, and tragedy, as a literary aesthetic direction, is gradually withdrawing from the scene, replaced by tragedy Yes, comedy, irony and parody became important styles of writing.

He Ping is aware of this general trend. To some extent, the construction of the Writers' Village is also in line with the development of domestic literary trends.

Enclosing a large number of writers into the "writer's village" and letting them write is in itself a departure from the traditional way of literary writing. Writers must gather styles, connect with reality, and collect materials, so they cannot work behind closed doors.

If you lock Chen Zhongshi at home, he will not be able to write "White Deer Plain" even if he is killed.

But for writers in the 90s, writing behind closed doors seems to be a matter of course.Of course, they will also collect stories and materials, but the proportion is definitely not as large as that of previous writers. When they break away from the compassionate, open-ended writing style and focus on small people, the social information that writers need is not enough. many.

After Li Tuo rejected Yang Mo, he mentioned this matter while chatting with He Ping, and He Ping thought of the above.

Li Tuo played a pivotal role in the domestic literary reform in the 80s, and He Ping didn't know whether it would be good or bad for the domestic literary world to recruit him.

He felt that what he was doing now should have more advantages than disadvantages, but these would take time to test.

The construction of the Writer's Village has been suspended for more than a month. Taking advantage of the good weather after the snow melted, He Ping drove Li Tuo to the town in the crown.

The two walked into the construction site of the Writer's Village. After a year of construction, the main works of each single building in the Writer's Village have been completed.

"The main body has been built and should be handed over next year."

Li Tuo walked up the stairs of the book city to the top floor. From a height of more than ten meters, he could almost have a panoramic view of the entire park environment, except for two six-story writers' dormitories.

"According to this progress, I'm afraid we won't be able to enter until the end of next year or the beginning of the next year?" Li Tuo asked.

"almost."

Li Tuo looked into the distance, "There is still one year left!"

There was eagerness in his words.

"Rome wasn't built in a day." He Ping pointed to a few open areas reserved in the park and said, "Master Tuo, what do you think should be used for the sculptures in those landscapes?"

"How do I understand this kind of thing, how about some great writers?"

He Ping shook his head, "It's too unimaginative."

"Then what are you talking about?"

"If I've made up my mind, I don't need to ask you."

"Cut!" Li Tuo gave him a contemptuous look, "Then let's find some people from the Academy of Fine Arts for a touch, and see if we can create some sparks."

"That's fine." He Ping pointed to the facades of those buildings and said, "Although I haven't thought about the content of the sculptures, I have some ideas about the murals and paintings in the park."

"What idea?" Li Tuo asked curiously.

"I think the patterns in our park should not be too rigid. They must have impact, personality, and a literary atmosphere."

"Speak human!" Li Tuo said impatiently.

"I'm going to have people draw some 3D patterns."

"Third brother? Who is third brother?"

He Ping gave him a contemptuous glance, retaliation, "Look at you, you are ignorant all day long, uneducated, right? 3D, Three Dimensions, three-dimensional, three-dimensional meaning."

Li Tuo spat at him, "What's the use of talking about those fancy things, I'll give you the one who can."

After the joke, He Ping continued: "What I mean is to paint on the wall or on the ground to transform the two-dimensional space into a three-dimensional visual effect, so that the viewer has an immersive feeling. For example Draw a few scenes of great writers chatting on the edge of the gazebo outside, and the pictures around you will seem to come alive, so when everyone sits there, it will be more natural!"

Li Tuo complained: "Isn't it scary to draw a few dead people?"

"Then we can draw some living people!"

"You are being sued for infringement of portrait rights."

He Ping was in a hurry, "You are exaggerating!"

"Okay, just kidding. This idea is good, but who can draw? Does the Academy of Fine Arts have something like this?"

He Ping said carelessly: "They all have art skills, let's tell them what we think, it will definitely be fine if we practice more, isn't there still one year left!"
