Chapter 328: The attitude of the New Literature Association
How did the news spread that Teacher Ye Luo was about to release a new book? The source can no longer be found.

Ye Luo himself rarely posts updates on Weibo. When he released a new book before, he might not necessarily post on Weibo.

The Classical Literature Association, which has always acted as Ye Luo's "big housekeeper", made no movement at all this time.

Even Qianli Jiangshan, who manages the official Weibo account of "Ye Luo Fans Club", has no inside information this time.

However, under this situation, various news about Ye Luo's new book are emerging one after another.

These news, whether true or false, can be said to dazzle fans.

But regardless of whether it is true or not, the popularity of the topic "Ye Luo's new book" has definitely skyrocketed.

After all, this new book is not like the previous "Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio", but the serious Ye Tang series.

Even Secretary-General Yang of the Literary and Zhenzhen Group personally called Li Wenzheng to inquire, which shows how much he attaches importance to this book.

You know, the current "Ye Tang Series" has almost become a business card for promoting Chinese classical culture, and it is an extremely powerful business card.

So far, four books have been released in this series, including "The Biography of the Great Tang Poem", "The Biography of the Poem Demons of the Tang Dynasty", "The Biography of the Poem Buddha of the Tang Dynasty" and "The Biography of the Poem Stars of the Tang Dynasty".According to statistics from the Ancient Literature Association, the current sales of these four books have already exceeded the [-] million mark!

This includes first editions as well as reprints.

For example, "The Legend of the Poetry of the Tang Dynasty" has been reprinted the most, and the sales volume of each reprint is quite terrifying.

This is also due to the fact that the content of the reprints of these books will be increased accordingly compared with the previous editions.For readers, each reprint is equivalent to adding a new book based on the original version.

Therefore, readers are willing to pay for reprints of old books.

Moreover, these sales are only in China.

In Japan, Ye Luo is also a very well-known best-selling author.

The two books "The Legend of the Poem of the Tang Dynasty" and "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" have both entered the top ten of the annual bestseller list in Japan.

It is no exaggeration to say that Ye Luo’s Ye Tang series has played an important role in promoting traditional Chinese culture.

The fundamental reason why Ye Luo has such a high status in the literary world lies in the Ye Tang series.

Therefore, when news came out that Ye Luo was about to release the fifth book in the Ye Tang series, not only fans continued to discuss it, but the upper-level bosses were also very concerned.

Almost all the literary and cultural research groups, the Academy of Literary and Art, and other cultural departments made calls to the Classical Literature Association.

Maybe fans don't know how the news spread online, but people in the industry can basically guess it.

Who would suddenly spread the news about Teacher Ye’s new book?
Who benefits from having this rhythm?

After thinking about it for a moment, I can figure out that this must have been done by the Ancient Literature Association.

The reason is also very simple, just to create momentum.

This method is actually very common in the entertainment industry.

In order to increase the exposure of new books, it is normal for the Classical Literature Association to operate like this.

……

New Literature Association.

Chairman Shao Xinzhong specially held a meeting, and the theme was to study Ye Luo's new book.

"Chairman Shao, what did the Classical Literature Association say?"

"Yeah, are you sure you want to release a new book?"

"The new book must be confirmed, otherwise would the Classical Literature Association make such a big noise?"

"Didn't they reveal some other details?"

"What's the name of the book? Who is it about?"

"Has the press conference time been determined?"

"There's a lot of commotion this time. I wonder if the Classical Literature Association wants to cause something big?"

"If this continues, it will be very detrimental to us."

"Yes."

In the conference room, everyone was talking a lot.

"Okay, stop talking now and listen to me first."

Chairman Shao Xinzhong was sitting in the front seat, expressionless, and said: "The new book is indeed confirmed. The title of the book is "The Biography of Poetry of the Tang Dynasty", and the protagonist is the poetry immortal Li Bai. Moreover, a poem has been sent back from the Ancient Prose Association. Everyone can start take a look."

The secretary distributed documents to everyone, and Shao Xinzhong continued, "You can see this for yourself, don't spread it to others."

Just a piece of A4 paper with the song "Qing Ping Le" written on it.

Everyone present studied modern literature, but they still had a basic aesthetic appreciation of ancient poetry.

"It must be that the immortal was so drunk that he crushed the white clouds into pieces. This last sentence is really a stroke of genius."

"Is the name of this poem signed by Li Bai? Poetry Immortal Li Bai, this title is really too big."

"Poetic Immortal, the Immortal of Poetry! Isn't this a bit too much?"

"I have heard of this title before. I originally thought that Mr. Ye would not write about this character. I thought it was just a supporting role. After all, the meaning of the two words Shixian is really extraordinary. I really didn't expect it, Ye The teacher really dared to write."

"If you're not careful, you may end up spoiling it."

"The Immortal of Poetry, this character is not easy to write. Judging from this title, he must be at least better than all the poets he has written before! Isn't this too difficult?"

"People like Bai Juyi and Liu Yuxi are already prohibitive. Can Teacher Ye write a poet who is stronger than them? Poet Immortal? What kind of character is worthy of this title? I feel that Teacher Ye is really too good this time. It’s too much, and if it doesn’t go well, his entire Ye Tang series will be affected.”

"Hmph, if the name doesn't live up to his name, there is no need to write Ye Luo's Ye Tang series anymore. Just concentrate on writing the Republic of China series. I think his modern writing is no worse than classical literature."

"That's all bullshit, you better be polite."

"What is nonsense? Ye Luo's writing about Poetry Immortal is purely to make himself uncomfortable. Forget about his previous Poems, Demons and Buddhas, these titles are still acceptable. Even if he mentioned them in his previous books Shixian, there are no poems written by Shixian Li Bai. In the eyes of readers, Shixian is a beautiful fantasy. But now he has to implement this fantasy and turn the fantasy into reality. How can poetry be so easy? Immortal! Is there anyone in history who dared to call Shixian? He, Ye Luo, wrote a novel and dared to call him Shixian? I think he is sincerely looking for discomfort!" Professor Yang Huan said.

"Mr. Yang is right."

"I also think he is floating." "Haha, whether he is floating or not, what does it have to do with you?"

"Yeah, it's not appropriate to talk about Teacher Ye like that behind your back."

"Okay, okay, let's not say a few words."

Although Ye Luo had shown his level of modern literature before, and even helped the New Literature Association tide over difficulties at the Sino-Japanese Literature Forum, there were always people in the New Literature Association who couldn't deal with him.

During the period after the Sino-Japanese Literature Forum, these people were relatively honest, but as time went by, they forgot about Ye Luo's fierce look at the forum.

At this moment, some people began to dislike him, some were sarcastic, and some were gloating about his misfortune and waiting to see his joke.

Of course, there are such people, but there are also people in the New Literature Association who sincerely support him.

Just like Zhang Rumeng, Hao Zhijun and others, they used to be die-hard opponents of Ye Luo, but since the book "The Biography of Mr. Lu Xun", they have become die-hard supporters of Ye Luo.

Zhang Rumeng looked at Professor Yang Huan coldly and said, "Professor Yang, what Teacher Ye writes is his or her freedom. I think that since he dares to write poetry, it means that he is confident. What we are discussing today , it’s not about whether his book can be successful, but how we should deal with the impact of his book next. Instead of hoping that the quality of his new book is not good, why not think more about what our New Literature Association should do?"

After saying that, Zhang Rumeng still crossed his arms and snorted coldly at Professor Yang Huan.

Zhang Rumeng didn't have much respect for Mr. Yang.

In the past, they had actually united the front, and they all yelled at Ye Luo together.

However, they actually do not belong to the same faction.

Compared with the relatively united Classical Literature Association, the factional divisions within the New Literature Association are particularly serious.

In fact, there are many experts within the Ancient Literature Association. For example, Professor Liu Ying represents the ancient poetry school, while Professor Feng Jiahua represents the classical essay school, and Chairman Li Wenzheng studies ancient books and documents.

However, although there are differences between them, they are limited to academic research differences.Our daily personal relationships are also good, and they have not evolved into anything like the New Literary Association.

The New Literary Society, it is completely a factional conflict.

Zhang Rumeng represents the school of modern novels. They are either best-selling writers or traditional novel writers.In short, they are all novelists.Zhang Rumeng himself is the director of the Modern Novel Research Laboratory of the New Literature Association.

Hao Zhijun, who is equally active, is a representative figure of modern poets.

Professor Yang Huan is a representative figure of the academic school.This group of people are all elite scholars who came from major universities, and their average age is relatively older.There is an attitude of self-respect in the bones, always thinking that I am pure and pure, and everyone else is a common person who conforms to the world.

But at the last Sino-Japanese Cultural Forum, none of Yang Huan and the others showed up. They were just supporting roles throughout the whole process.This makes Zhang Rumeng and the others look down on them from the bottom of their hearts. In addition, Yang Huan himself likes to look down on young people. He always shows off his seniority and always says "I have eaten more salt than you have eaten rice." , novelists like Zhang Rumeng and others are usually squeezed by them, and the two sides have been dissatisfied with each other for a long time.

Yang Huan didn't like Ye Luo, and they, the academic people, basically didn't like Ye Luo very much.

This is a well-known thing in the New Literature Association.

One is because of Ye Luo's background, and the other is because Ye Luo is young.

If Ye Luo was an old professor in his 50s, then Yang Huan must be his die-hard fan.

But unfortunately, Ye Luo is a host in his 20s.

In the eyes of Yang Huan and others, this is a player who cannot compete on the stage at all.That is to say, Ye Luo wrote a book like "The Biography of Mr. Lu Xun", otherwise Yang Huan's attitude would have been ten times worse than it is now.

In response to Zhang Rumeng's words, Yang Huan's wrinkled face was full of disdain, and he said angrily: "Xiao Zhang, I remember you scolded Ye Luo the most harshly before. Why are you now his fan? A writer who writes about modern times It’s really weird for someone who writes novels to pursue someone who writes classical poetry.”

Zhang Rumeng's face was expressionless, "Mr. Ye has only written classical poetry? Have you not read his "The Biography of Mr. Lu Xun"? Oh, by the way, Professor Yang doesn't read novels, right? Haha, what a pity, Mr. Lu Xun is me What a true literati looks like in your mind. Don’t you keep saying that a literati should have the backbone and spirit of a literati? Have you never read Lu Xun? Haha, that’s really amazing.”

Zhang Rumeng is in his forties. Logically speaking, it is not too much to call Mr. Yang uncle.But at this moment, she didn't give him any face at all.

Yang Huan looked livid when he said that. He had naturally read "The Biography of Mr. Lu Xun", but when Zhang Rumeng said this, he seemed to be a bit lacking.

"Okay, let's not say a few words."

Shao Xinzhong frowned and rubbed his brows. These nonsense things in the association really upset him sometimes. "I won't talk about anything else today. I'll just talk about Teacher Ye's new book."

He straightened his body and said: "The release date for Mr. Ye's new book has not yet been decided. Although his book is risky, we must be prepared to deal with it regardless of whether his book is successful or not. measure."

"If his book is really messed up, then this is a great opportunity for us to reverse the current situation! We must be fully prepared in advance. Once the opportunity comes, we must be able to seize it!"

Shao Xinzhong's words were sonorous and powerful. In fact, in his opinion, he also felt that Ye Luo was really trusting this time.

Shixian!
Throughout the ages, there have been so many poets in history, but no one dares to call him a poet!
Moreover, in his own Ye Tang series, not to mention others, just the protagonists Bai Juyi, Liu Yuxi, Wang Wei, and Meng Haoran, which one is not the pinnacle poet in the sea of ​​poetry?
Such a person is not called Shixian.

This was written by Ye Luo himself.

As a result, now he wants to write poetry?

How do you write this?
How could this be written?
Better than Bai Juyi, Liu Yuxi and the others?

How is this possible?
You know, even if we put Liu Yuxi and others in the entire history, they are the ones who stand at the pinnacle of the poetry world.

Stronger than them?
Never happened in history.

It is impossible to write Ye Luo!
Shao Xinzhong didn't believe Ye Luo could write it.

Shao Xinzhong couldn't imagine what kind of person that was.

It is impossible for a character like Shixian to appear.

It's just that Shao Xinzhong didn't say this.

Everyone else should follow suit.

"Indeed, that's the key."

"Well, you need to think about this carefully."

However, Zhang Rumeng said in a deep voice: "But what if he really succeeds?"

Shao Xinzhong was silent for a moment, glanced at Zhang Rumeng, and then continued in a deep voice: "If Teacher Ye's "The Legend of Immortals" is really completed, it will have an unimaginable huge impact on our modern literature. This kind of We must find ways to deal with the situation."

Zhang Rumeng nodded and sighed: "I also hope that Teacher Ye will fail this time."

In fact, everyone knows in their hearts that if "The Legend of Immortals" written by Ye Luo is really worthy of its name, then their New Literature Association will be in big trouble!
In the literary world, it will set off a huge craze for ancient Chinese literature!

Shixian!
The four previous poets had already brought dying classical literature back to life.

If a poet who was even better than these four was really written by Ye Luo, they couldn't even imagine how the literary world would change.
