Chapter 189: Headlines
At the end of the song, Lin Zixuan left the third lady of the Song family and walked towards his circle.
There were Ping Jinya, Zheng Zhengqiu and others there, who were talking about Hu Shi.
Hu Shi has a Western gentlemanly style and his speech is very contagious. He is the kind of person who can become the protagonist in any occasion.
Lin Zixuan is relatively younger and lacks the ability to control the entire game for the time being, but he will not be ignored.
Ping Jinya is the actual person in charge of Wanxiang Bookstore. He is not very interested in publishing new literary books. However, if Hu Shi can be brought to Wanxiang Bookstore, it will add great fame to the bookstore.
Each publisher has its own signature writer. The publisher works hard to promote the writers, and the writer brings reputation to the publisher.
This is a win-win situation.
Now the signature writer of Wanxiang Bookstore is Lin Zixuan. If Hu Shi is added, it would be even better.
Therefore, Ping Jinya was quite enthusiastic about Hu Shi.
He has successfully transformed from a writer of the Mandarin duck butterfly school to an elite figure in the publishing industry, and his vision is no longer limited to the writer's circle, but is developing towards an industrialist.
As for Zheng Zhengqiu, after "The Great Trouble in Heaven", he became the hottest film director in China.
He gradually improved his own concept of filming movies. After the filming of "Three Fights of the Bone Demon", he would not continue to shoot this series, and repetition would have no meaning to him.
He wants to shoot the movie he wants to shoot.
Lin Zixuan expressed his understanding of this. The difference between a master and an apprentice is whether he has his own ideas.
Chinese films not only require commercial films, but also art films with profound content. Although art films will lose money, they are worth trying.
While everyone was chatting, Xu Zhimo came over with the three of the Creation Society.
At this party, the three people in the Creation Society were relatively isolated.
They offended writers of the Mandarin duck butterfly school, members of the Literary Research Association, and many media in Shanghai.
They claim to be geniuses, believing that everyone is wrong, only they are right. They want to create a future.
"The project of our self-creation starts from the seventh day of your greed, lazy and idleness."
This is the publication of the "Creation Weekly" written by Guo Moruo on May 13, 2019, called "The Seventh Day of the Creation Project".
He thought that God was too irresponsible to create the world, and he wanted to take over God and continue to create the world.
This publication is like the poetry collection "Goddess". It is full of passion for changing the world. The spirit of controlling everything and transforming everything bursts out. It seems that the power of heaven and earth gathers on him, and he is the new Creator.
From this we can see that Guo Moruo had a rebellious personality and could be called a madman in ancient times.
But it is undeniable that the people in the Creation Society are all very literary talent. Guo Moruo's "Goddess", Yu Dafu's "Sinking", and Cheng Fuwu's literary commentary are all extremely outstanding in this era and irreplaceable.
Xu Zhimo and Yu Dafu had a connection, so he introduced the people from the Creation Society.
In such public occasions, you can let go of any contradictions for the time being. Everyone comes here to make friends, not fight.
But the atmosphere at the scene was inevitably strange. Most of the people present knew the conflict between Lin Zixuan and Guo Moruo. Although Lin Zixuan didn't care, others didn't think so.
In order to activate the atmosphere, Xu Zhimo talked about the topic of poetry and believed that Guo Moruo's "The Goddess" was very romantic.
"I used to want to comment on "Goddess", so I read it for a few days. It was indeed very distinctive." Hu Shi continued.
Guo Moruo was very happy after hearing this. He made an unexpected move. He walked forward, picked up Hu Shi, and kissed Hu Shi on the cheek.
This sudden action surprised everyone. Hu Shi was stunned on the spot.
In foreign countries, this way of expressing intimacy is called a veneer, but it is not popular in China, especially between two men.
"I just feel so honored." Guo Moruo said with a smile.
"I'm honored too." Hu Shi reacted and smiled bitterly.
This little episode diluted the originally awkward atmosphere, and everyone talked about other topics. It was also very speculative.
Lin Zixuan looked at the two people who "saw each other with a smile to eliminate grudges", and couldn't help but shake his head. He knew that these were all illusions, and the grudge between Guo Moruo and Hu Shi had just begun.
Guo Moruo has been professional for thirty years, so this is by no means a talk.
Starting from criticizing Hu Shi's "organization of national past", they launched fierce debates on traditional culture, academic thoughts, and historical textual research.
This is not the end. Guo Moruo also edited and published eight volumes of "Critique of Hu Shi's Thought", which sprinkled millions of words and comprehensively and profoundly criticized Hu Shi's academic and thoughts.
But who would have thought that at this moment they were chatting and laughing and praising each other.
Xu Zhimo said that he would visit Yu Dafu and others in two days, and the two sides agreed to reunite.
The party was about to come to an end, and a riot suddenly appeared in a corner of the hall. It was the social circle of the news media, and their news was more informative.
After a while, everyone learned a news that had just been heard.
Cao Kun, a warlord of the Beiyang government, was elected as the president and became the fifth president of the Republic of China.
There was an uproar at the scene. Everyone present reads the newspaper and knows very well about the incident in Peking. This presidential election cannot be said to be the darkest, but rather the most nonsensical one.
At the pre-election meeting held in September, Cao Kun directly used money to smash people.
A member of parliament bought a vote for 5,000 yuan in silver dollars and bribed the Speaker of Parliament for 400,000 yuan. He spent more than 13 million yuan in order to become the president.
His staff also said with confidence that this is much more civilized than forcing them to vote with guns.
From this we can see that what the Beiyang government looks like is simply a shame to the political system of the Republic of China.
Now, Cao Kun has become the president as he wishes.
Most of the gatherings were celebrities in the cultural circle. Many newspaper editors came to Lin Zixuan. The Shanghai media wanted to say something, and they must not indulge the Peking government to continue making trouble like this.
"Then let's sign and protest!" Lin Zixuan pondered for a moment and said loudly, "I'll ask Mr. Hu Shi to write a letter of condemnation. You all want to sign your own names to express our determination in the cultural world."
Everyone said that this is the best. It just so happened that celebrities from the cultural circle gathered here. Hu Shi was famous enough, so it was most appropriate to write a condemnation letter. This was also a grand event in the literary world.
The employees of Peace Hotel responded quickly, prepared pens, ink, paper and inkstones, and spread a large piece of rice paper.
At this moment, Hu Shi took the initiative and wrote a fierce condemnation letter.
He was the first to sign, Lin Zixuan was the second, and the others signed it in sequence according to their identity and status. The reporter of the newspaper took photos and hurried back to the newspaper to type. This is the headline of Tomorrow's newspaper.
This incident brought a perfect end to the party, and everyone was talking about it, excited to be involved.
Lin Zixuan made the headlines in the newspaper for the first time. (~^~)
