Reborn Bao Guowei, I really didn’t want to be a great writer!

Chapter 286 Xu Beihong painted for this? The situation is out of control!

Beiping.

Courtyard No. 4, Miliangku Hutong.

Hu Shi excitedly slapped a copy of the Times on the table and said with a flushed face.

"Support! You must support! The Shanghai Stock Exchange has suffered such unfair treatment. Advanced gentlemen have suffered such persecution. Students have even been arrested. Freedom of speech has become empty talk. How can we tolerate it?"

Hu Shi was extremely excited, not just because of this incident.

Of course, there is another point, which is his mortal enemy Chen Dezheng.

In the past, this guy even forced Hu Shi to go abroad to avoid the limelight.

It can be seen that the two of them enjoy the festival deeply.

"This incident is a conscious purge of the literary world by the state government, in an attempt to put shackles on all literati and poets, thereby achieving the goal of Chang Kaishen's dictatorship."

Xu Beihong frowned and commented.

He had just been a guest at Hu Shi's house recently, so naturally he had heard about what the government was doing in Shanghai.

The person next to him, with a long beard and rimless glasses, was Ding Wenjiang, a professor of geology.

He said sadly: "I heard that Mr. Zhou Shuren and Mr. Lin Yutang were threatened by unknown people one after another. It seems that they have something to do with the remnants of the Manchu Qing Dynasty and the Japanese. Even the government has done nothing. In his normal life, In Kaishen’s eyes, nothing can compare with the interests of his personal dictatorship?”

When the academics in Peiping heard about this, they were extremely angry.

Hu Shi still had an innocent heart. After watching "The Old Man and the Sea", he felt a fire burning in his chest.

So he stepped forward, spread the newspaper on the table, and introduced it to the two friends in front of him.

"Come on, come on, come and watch this "The Old Man and the Sea" with me, Bao Bingwen's masterpiece. I don't think there is any other work that can arouse my Chinese patriotism more than this work. , and the spirit of rebellion.”

"I got such a comment from Brother Shizhi, so I must take a good look at it!"

Xu Beihong is now the dean of the Peking Art Institute, but in addition to promoting innovation in art teaching, he also dabbles in various trendy works in newspapers.

The level of literary appreciation is naturally not bad.

"This article is not long. Brother Shoukang and I will read it together."

Ding Wenjiang also came over, and the two of them watched the work intently.

The first edition of "The Old Man and the Sea" only updated more than 10,000 words. Compared with the original version of "The Old Man and the Sea", Bao Guowei adapted a lot of content.

Many metaphorical contents are integrated into the dialogue between the old man and the little boy, and a strong sense of epic is slowly unfolded in these dialogues and bizarre backgrounds.

In just a few minutes, Xu Beihong and Ding Wenjiang were infected by the great patriotic emotion in the text.

Simple yet powerful words, this was the first word that popped into their heads.

Then Xu Beihong couldn't help but sigh and said: "I have never seen a novel that can be written like this."

Ten years ago, when Xu Beihong was still studying painting at the Ecole Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts in Paris, he traveled to Western European countries, observing and studying various art works.

In addition to studying art, Xu Beihong devoted the rest of his time to literature.

Because he understands that if you want to truly understand art, you cannot just limit yourself to one form.

Therefore, he not only experienced the culture of the Western European Renaissance through artworks, but also assisted by reading literary works from the same period.

After the lecture is over, he will use his free time to conduct some research on the history of modern Western literature.

Art and literature, in a sense, complement each other.

Even he, who had read many literary works, was full of curiosity when faced with Bao Guowei's work.

The two of them read it in one breath, with almost no time to stop.

Bao Guowei wrote in these ten thousand words that the old man had started a fierce battle with the big fish. The tug-of-war lasted for nearly a day and a night, and there was still no winner.

Due to space limitations, the plot ends abruptly here.

"No more? No more?" Ding Wenjiang looked angrily after opening the newspaper repeatedly to make sure there was no content below.

He couldn't help but said angrily: "This Bao Bingwen is used to making people appetizing. It's really annoying."

Nowadays, Bao Guowei is famous for his "out of context" in the literary world of the Republic of China. Most of his works are published in newspapers and magazines, and the space is naturally not enough each time.

I don't know whether it is intentional or intentional, but Bao Guowei always brings the plot to an abrupt end when the plot is tense or when the readers are extremely looking forward to it.

It really makes the viewer feel itchy.

"Hahahaha! This kid is like this, making people love and hate him at the same time."

Hu Shi, who was on the side, had been angry because of the plot a long time ago. Seeing Ding Wenjiang so angry, he felt a little relieved.

Xu Beihong exhaled and said: "Compared with this, what interests me more is that Bao Bingwen seems to have mastered an incredible creative technique and conveyed a shocking spiritual experience."

Shocked!

That's right, this is Xu Beihong's profound understanding after reading these short 10,000 words.

It can be said that he has never read such a smooth novel, and he can also appreciate the Chinese literary nature, as well as the interweaving of magic and realist art in this simple text.

This is what really excites him.

He provides a completely different vision to all creators in the art world!

"Shou Kang's evaluation is very appropriate." Hu Shi stopped joking and said seriously. "The text of this novel is concise and clear, but it is not as empty and boring as a storybook novel. His words are full of power."

As a person in the literary world, Hu Shi made an evaluation from a completely different perspective.

"The most valuable thing is that it is this kind of text that conveys the gushing spirit in Bao Bing's bra and infects every reader. I think this is the real reason why all the teachers and students in Shanghai rose up to resist!"

Hu Shi waved his arms, as if he had found the strength he once had.

"I think that this power cannot be limited here. All power must be conveyed, not just in words, but also through slogans, demonstrations and other forms to make the people feel this trend. spirit."

While talking, Hu Shi had already made a decision and looked at his other two friends.

"Gentlemen, I have deliberately responded to the demonstrations in Shanghai and summoned people of insight from the literary and artistic circles, universities and middle schools in Peiping to take to the streets together to shout slogans and tell the world about the strength and perseverance of the Chinese people."

"it is good!!!"

Almost without hesitation, Xu Beihong and Ding Wenjiang placed their palms on Hu Shi's hand.

Several people felt a heat in the warmth of each other's palms.

Just do it, Hu Shizhi tidied up and planned to go out immediately.

At this time, Xu Beihong, who was following behind, suddenly ran up and asked.

"Brother Shi, do you have the contact information for this Bao Bingwen?"

Hu Shi was stunned for a moment, then smiled. Was his friend interested in Bao Guowei?
"Not directly, but Xu Zhimo has a close relationship with him. If I hadn't been stuck in Peiping, I would have gone to get acquainted with him. Brother Shoukang also wants to meet him, so there's no need to be in such a hurry. I heard about him."

Before Hu Shi could finish speaking, Xu Beihong interrupted him.

"I would like to see him, but not now. I have more important things to ask him for."

"Please give me permission? Is that so?"

If Xu Beihong can ask for instructions, what kind of request is this?
Hu Shi suddenly realized something and his pupils shrank.

"Yes! Next, I will create an oil painting with the theme of the old man and the sea!"

Xu Beihong's eyes sparkled, and he felt that after reading Bao Guowei's works, inspiration began to burst out in his head.

A painting depicting an old man and a big fish fighting on the sea slowly unfolded in his mind.
At the same time, after the news from the Shanghai stock market and major newspapers came out.

The restoration of the Manchu remnants of the Qing Dynasty in Shanghai and the wolfish ambitions of the Japanese suddenly appeared on the page.

But what everyone is more curious about is, what exactly is this "The Old Man and the Sea"?
I saw the work and saw the protests in Shanghai.

The wise people in China can no longer sit still.

Starting from Peiping, and then to cities such as Jinmen, Jinling, and Yangcheng, people led by celebrities from all walks of life launched massive demonstrations.

unstoppable.

The bald man who was in Jinling at the moment was very anxious.
