Chapter 172
As time goes by, the popularity of "The West Chamber" was of course also spread from Suzhou to the Demon City. Then, because its author was Wang Defu, it naturally attracted the attention of the literati of the Demon City in a very short time.
For those literati who like traditional Chinese studies and classical poetry, "The West Chamber" is a big meal. They are all crazy because of the excellent classical poetry in it. Some people even think that Wang Defu is the last master of ancient poetry in modern times!
After all, only he can write works that are comparable to those classic ancient poems.
Of course, the literati in the Magic City did have a high evaluation of the classical poems in "The West Chamber", but they obviously didn't catch that cold about the story plot depicted in "The West Chamber".
Some literati who were amazed by Wang Defu's exquisite conception of the Necklace this time were disappointed by the mediocrity of the plot of "The West Chamber". They felt that although Wang Defu's writing was as gorgeous as ever, it was too spiritual and full of craftsmanship.
However, now because Wang Defu has more and more loyal fans, many literati are afraid to say bad things about Wang Defu, and even take the initiative to speak for Wang Defu, saying that even if Wang Defu is genius, he cannot achieve perfection. Perhaps his work has spent all his energy on classical poetry, so he naturally ignores other aspects...
Compared with Suzhou media's various hypes of "The West Chamber", the media in the Magic City obviously prefer to focus on Wang Defu. Obviously, the media in the Magic City know how attractive Wang Defu's news is to his fans. As long as Wang Defu is reported, the sales of their newspapers will increase by at least 20% or 30%.
Under the exploration of the media in the Magic City, most of them believed that Wang Defu wrote "The West Chamber" in order to slap the old-fashioned literati who had slandered him in the face and further contributed to the "new culture application".
Some people must be curious. How could Wang Defu writes classical dramas like "The West Chamber" contribute to the "New Culture Movement"?
Judging from the plot of "The West Chamber", it is clearly the talented man and beautiful woman, the Mandarin duck butterfly school, which is clearly like a depressed and unsuccessful literati in ancient times, writing vulgar yy cool articles!
So under such circumstances, those critics who interpret "The West Chamber" and Wang Defu made contributions. It is clear that they are the "positive energy" works that are anti-feudal and promote free love, and directly ignore the erotic and vulgar parts of this classical drama work...
Of course, it may be because Wang Defu's previous character design in the minds of many people was radical, trendy, and revolutionary. Many people said that their previous works were very revolutionary, criticizing the old society and the old system, and even the various chaos in today's capitalist society were satirized and criticized by Wang Defu.
Therefore, in the minds of many people, Wang Defu is definitely a pioneer writer who highly praised the "New Culture Movement". Therefore, when interpreting "The West Chamber", of course, we must focus on the theme of "anti-feudalism". It also means that Wang Defu is worthy of being Wang Defu. This is so invisible when it comes to feudalism. However, compared to some works that deliberately shout slogans, I don't know how high it is!
Anti-feudal works like this are the most awesome, and they are truly entertaining!
In fact, readers or viewers who like "The West Chamber" care not whether it is anti-feudal or not. They just think that reading this work looks very satisfying. They don't care about the stereotypes of the male and female protagonists. Instead, they think that Zhang Sheng's frivolous and vulgarity is very real, down-to-earth, and has a sense of substitution. If they were Zhang Sheng, of course they would do the same thing as the male protagonist.
As for the pretentious and serious Cui Yingying, it has enough attractiveness, because the author's gorgeous writing style fully presents her charm, making readers' hearts beat. In the classical drama performed, Cui Yingying's actors must be very beautiful, which is also enough.
Therefore, the group that "The West Chamber" is actually aimed at is the people who prefer clichéd and bloody dramas. Literary young people like Wang Defu can only appreciate the gorgeous words in it. The plot and characters cannot be seen in the faces of literary young people.
The media in the Magic City arranged the purpose behind Wang Defu's creation of "The West Chamber" into a cool story of "slapping the face" that readers like. The target of the face is naturally the old literati who questioned Wang Defu's ancient literary literati...
The media made this story vividly and even directly published the names of the old-school literati who had been shouting the most fiercely before, which instantly made the other party famous. Unfortunately, it was a very embarrassing bad reputation, and it was simply whipped by various corpses.
Of course, readers read it with relish, and Wang Defu's fans are also very happy. The newspapers that arranged the stories behind them have also seen the sales of them, which is a joy!
Of course, it is not enough to have a cool story with a slap in the face. How can there be no gossip and scandal behind the creation of "The West Chamber"?
Especially for a "romantic celebrity" like Wang Defu, the heroine in the classic works like "The West Chamber", must find a prototype in reality!
We have to admit that the media in the Magic City are really powerful. Even if they do anything to discover news stories with explosive points for commercial sales!
So, it was natural for the girl Mei Xiaoyu to be discovered by the media in the Demon City. Then the essays published by Wang Defu in a classical drama magazine were also discovered, and all of this suddenly became a very perfect story line.
The media in the Magic City have shown their ability to make up stories to the fullest after this!
The final conclusion was of course Wang Defu, a "romantic celebrity" who wanted to win the favor of his "new love" newcomer, Mei Xiaoyu, and used Mei Xiaoyu as the prototype of the heroine to create "The West Chamber". Of course, the purpose was to win Mei Xiaoyu's favor!
Because of this erotic operation by the media in the Demon City, Mei Xiaoyu suddenly became famous in the media industry in the Demon City, and even became more famous than when she was in Suzhou. I don’t know how many actresses were all envious of this girl who was so lucky that she was favored by the writer Talking King.
