Chapter 169, there is really nothing to criticize about this wave! (Subscribe)
Because of the backlash from the traffic before, Wang Zhixin was much more careful when posting topics related to Shen Qiushan.
Although the title is eye-catching, the content is relatively objective. It only explains the fact that Shen Qiushan performed in a bar and uploaded a live video.
As the first and currently only Nebula Award winner in China, Shen Qiushan's fame and influence are much higher than before.
It is still easy for news about him to gain popularity.
After the videos of Wang Zhixin and other self-media bloggers went viral on the Internet, they immediately sparked discussions among netizens.
But the direction of public opinion made Wang Zhixin a little depressed.
"You are a writer, but you can sing so well. Do you want to save our lives?"
"Lao Shen overturned my stereotype of writers!"
"I suggest Lao Shen just make his debut, why bother writing a book?"
“It’s hard to believe that Red Rose was originally written by Lao Shen. He is truly a talented person!”
"What? The lead singer is actually a writer? I thought he was some super talented, out-of-date singer!"
“I don’t know if the writing is good, but Lao Shen’s song is really beautiful.”
“.”
The comment section of the relevant video was filled with positive reviews, with netizens all expressing their admiration for Shen Qiushan's superb singing skills.
After overnight fermentation.
The topic #Nebula Award winner Shen Qiushan singing in a bar# directly became a hot search on Weibo and Kuaiyin.
As the incident became more and more discussed, criticisms began to increase, and most of those who made these critical comments were highly educated.
One of them was Yang Xijin, who had had conflicts with Shen Qiushan in the past.
"Some time ago, there was a very popular news that a writer in our country won the Nebula Award. He made outstanding contributions in the field of science fiction and even in the cultural field, and achieved a zero breakthrough."
"This is a good thing to win glory for the country. Although the book has not yet been published and no one knows how it is, it is a fact that he won the award. Whether he likes it or not, he is now a well-known writer in our country."
"But this famous writer is actually singing in a bar. It's only been a week since CCTV's 'Focus People' was broadcast. You've been on CCTV, so shouldn't you pay attention to your personal image?"
"I'm not saying that singing is bad, but as a well-known writer in China, wearing clothes with holes and dressing like a gangster is really disgraceful. People who don't know would think that all writers in our country are like this..."
Yang Xijin chatted for more than ten minutes in the way he was best at, and severely criticized Shen Qiushan from many angles.
However, he did not mention Shen Qiushan's name throughout the whole process, but everyone knew that he was talking about Shen Qiushan.
In addition to Yang Xijin, people in the literary circle also stood up.
A well-known writer with the pen name "Liu Zhuangzhu" posted a Weibo.
"A writer should behave like a writer. What kind of writer is it to show off your charm in such an occasion?"
Writer Wang Hai also posted a Weibo post to condemn the incident.
"If you like singing, just go and sing. Why get involved in the literary circle? I suggest that people like this be kicked out of the writers' group."
Intellectuals have looked down on each other since ancient times.
The fact that an online novel by Shen Qiushan sold its film and television rights for tens of millions has already made many writers jealous.
After winning the Nebula Award, these writers naturally became even more depressed.
How could he, who started out as an online novel writer, win the Nebula Award!
However, these writers who have worked hard for more than ten, twenty years or even their entire lives have not even touched the threshold of the Nebula Award.
Especially since "The Three-Body Civilization" has not yet been officially released and will only go on sale this Friday!
Therefore, no one has seen how Shen Qiushan's award-winning work was written, which makes people even more dissatisfied.
Now that Shen Qiushan is in the news for singing in a bar again, it is not surprising that these writers who have long been dissatisfied with him took the opportunity to speak out.
In addition to those who hold this purpose, there are also many remote "colonizers" and so-called "public intellectuals" among those who curse Shen Qiushan.
The reason they attacked Shen Qiushan was simple, because not long ago Shen Qiushan had just stood out from a group of foreign authors and won the Nebula Award.
It can be regarded as a glory for the country, and many young people even regard him as a national hero.
By attacking Shen Qiushan and belittling him as much as possible, they can deny this "national hero" and achieve their dirty political goals.
There are quite a few people like this in the country. They are like parasites and are more hateful than real enemies!
As public opinion continued to ferment, Shen Qiushan became directly popular outside the circle. The news that he won the Nebula Award also attracted a lot of attention.
But after all, only a few people pay attention to literature, especially among young people, and the number of people who pay attention to the Nebula Award is even lower.
In addition, there is a term on the Internet called information cocoon.
Since you are not interested in a certain field, you will hardly see any videos in this field.
This creates an information cocoon where you only understand the areas you are familiar with.
Therefore, although the news that Shen Qiushan won the Nebula Award was very popular and had a certain breaking circle attribute, it did not actually break the circle!
When young people see it, they may just glance at it and quickly forget about it.
But this time is different.
Music is the easiest thing to break through the circle, and there is almost no age limit for the audience.
Add to that the title of Nebula Award winner, and naturally more people will be interested.
In this way, Shen Qiushan has truly entered the vision of the "public".
He is even very well-known in the fan circle because of his good looks and solid singing skills.
Coupled with that nice song "Red Rose", he has quite a few little female fans.
Sanjiang University.
Meeting room.
Principal Zhu Qidong sat in the middle, with Zhao Changtian, Liu Hongyu and other school leaders on his left and right.
"What do you think about the matter between Shen Qiushan and Deputy Secretary Lin?"
Zhu Qidong asked the question and then looked at the reactions of the people around him.
Shen Qiushan stepped forward and indeed achieved the purpose of blocking the bullet.
After the video of his performance in the bar came out, there was a lot less discussion about Lin Xiamo.
However, there has been no clear statement from the school yet.
"Old Zhao, you speak first."
This topic can easily offend people, so after Zhu Qidong brought up the topic, no one responded.
There was silence in the meeting room for a while, and Zhu Qidong could only call out the names directly.
The person he pointed to was Executive Vice President Zhao Changtian, one of whose responsibilities was school publicity.
Therefore, it is more appropriate to let him express his views on this matter.
Zhao Changtian cleared his throat. He already had his own ideas in his mind, but he didn't actively express them because he wanted to see what other people's attitudes were. He would then speak based on the situation in the meeting room. This was considered the basic operation of being a leader.
But no one spoke at this moment, and Zhu Qidong called his name again, so Zhao Changtian could only put forward his own opinion first.
“I don’t think this is a bad thing for our school.”
"Chen Qiushan is a Nebula Award winner and just appeared on CCTV's "Focus Person". He is endorsed by CCTV, so his image is officially recognized."
"Before the meeting, I carefully read the online reviews of him. Eighty to ninety percent were positive, with only a small number of negative comments."
"As Shen Qiushan's alma mater, we should be his strongest support, and this can also reflect the inclusive spirit of our school."
"It's just singing a song, what's the big deal? Besides, there are so many people who like it."
Zhao Changtian's attitude was clear, and he directly supported Shen Qiushan, and rarely tried to smooth things over.
"I agree with Lao Zhao's point of view."
Vice President Liu Hongyu followed up with a statement: "Neither Shen Qiushan nor Deputy Secretary Lin did anything illegal. We cannot be swayed by public opinion."
"What's more, those critical voices are not pure, and can even be said to have ulterior motives."
"I think at this time, our school should give firm support and not be like some schools and units that, once different voices are heard online, simply become turtles and try to get involved rather than get involved."
"The reason why the public opinion environment on the Internet is so bad now is largely because many units or individuals are afraid of trouble and compromise with bad people."
"We at Sanjiang University cannot be cowards!"
It was Liu Hongyu who personally recruited Shen Qiushan to Sanjiang University, so he has always had a good impression of Shen Qiushan.
What's more, the fact that Shen Qiushan won the Nebula Award itself brought honor to Sanjiang University.
Now when you open the school’s website, you’ll see a large poster congratulating Shen Qiushan for winning the Nebula Award!
Seeing that Vice Presidents Zhao Changtian and Liu Hongyu had reached a consensus, those school leaders who were observing the situation and waiting for an opportunity to act also followed suit and expressed their opinions.
The meeting is over.
The school reached a consensus on the matter of Shen Qiushan and Lin Xiamo.
Support your own people.
Support the school’s faculty, staff and students!
Soon, an announcement was released on the official website of Sanjiang University, expressing support for Shen Qiushan and Lin Xiamo for forming a band and singing in their spare time.
Originally there were more voices of support on the Internet, and now Sanjiang University has also voiced its support, so those critical voices seem a bit harsh.
Friday.
"The Three-Body Civilization" is officially on sale.
As of today, online pre-sale sales have reached 110,000 copies.
That is to say, as soon as "The Three-Body Civilization" went on sale, it sold 110,000 copies.
All the pre-sale books will be shipped today.
Therefore, the fastest way to get physical books is actually to buy them in major bookstores.
9 a.m.
There was a long queue in front of the Xinhua Bookstore near the university town.
Almost all of those people queuing up were students from nearby universities, with the majority being students from Sanjiang University.
After all, Shen Qiushan, the author of The Three-Body Civilization, is from Sanjiang University.
Due to the "bar singing" incident, Shen Qiushan was criticized by many writers, and some even said that the reason he won the award was because he discredited his own country in his works and vigorously promoted Western politically correct ideas.
Some people are also criticizing the sales of "The Three-Body Civilization", saying that the pre-sale sales are fake. We will know when it goes on sale. This kind of science fiction novel will definitely not sell many copies...
Against this background.
As alumni of Shen Qiushan, the students of Sanjiang University are naturally happy to support him.
Of course, they were indeed very curious about this work that won the Nebula Award.
Similar queues can be found in many bookstores, especially near university towns where there are many young people, where the situation is more serious.
Nebula Award winner, resident singer in a bar!
In the eyes of Yang Xijin and others, this is an unforgivable crime.
However, in the eyes of most young people, this is simply too cool!
In particular, Shen Qiushan not only has a good personal image, but also sings well, so the video of him singing in the bar actually gained a large number of young fans.
Now that "The Three-Body Civilization" is on sale, they are all taking practical actions to show their support for Shen Qiushan.
There is a Xinhua Bookstore near the office building of Sanjiang Evening News. Wang Zhixin would pass by here every day on his way to work, and today was no exception.
However, there were more than a dozen people queuing in front of the bookstore today.
As a veteran "hei", Wang Zhixin certainly remembered clearly that today was the day when "The Three-Body Civilization" went on sale, and he had originally planned to go to the bookstore to buy a copy to read.
As the saying goes, "Know thy enemy and know thyself, and you will never be defeated in a hundred battles."
If you don’t even know what Shen Qiushan wrote, how can you post a video to criticize him in the future!
He parked his car on the side of the road and walked to the end of the line. Standing in front of him were two young men in their 20s.
The two were chatting at the moment.
"We must support Lao Shen's book and let those who criticize Lao Shen read it!"
"Yeah, I think so too. Those idiots online who curse Old Shen don't have good intentions!"
"They are just jealous. Not only can Old Shen win awards, but he can also sing. He is much better than those crooked-butt writers!"
"And there's that guy called Wang Zhixin, who keeps scolding Old Shen every day just to get some traffic. He has no shame at all!"
"I don't even bother to deal with that kind of clown. His face is swollen, but he's still whining!"
The two of them chatted back and forth, and it was obvious that they didn't know each other before, but they both supported Shen Qiushan, so they had something to talk about.
Listening to the conversation between the two, Wang Zhixin's face turned dark. Fortunately, he was wearing a baseball cap today, so the two young men did not notice him.
However, fearing that he would be recognized, he pulled the brim of his hat down.
The bookstore is open.
The people in the queue walked into the bookstore in an orderly manner, and the books they wanted to buy were surprisingly consistent.
As expected, they are all Shen Qiushan’s "The Three-Body Civilization".
Wang Zhixin also bought all three volumes and then hurriedly left the bookstore.
Arrived at the unit.
He opened the first volume and began to read it attentively.
After all, Wang Zhixin is an excellent student in the journalism department. He reads a lot and has done some research on literary works.
Of course, he read the book written by Shen Qiushan with a critical attitude.
With this mindset, he enjoyed watching the film at first, as there were many things to complain about, and he even took notes.
Prepare to release one or several videos to comprehensively "analyze" Shen Qiushan's book.
But as he watched, he no longer felt happy.
Because the story gradually became more exciting.
The multi-perspective narrative seems a bit confusing at the beginning, and even gives people a feeling of being unable to understand it.
But as the story progresses, the clues are connected together.
Unravel the mystery!
There are clues!
The grand structure and various hardcore sci-fi settings emerge one by one, making people unable to help but applaud!
Originally, Wang Zhixin's idea was to use the excuse of "analyzing" "The Three-Body Civilization" to find fault with Shen Qiushan and regain some of the face he had lost before.
As a result, after he really read the book, he realized that he was superficial!
The reason why Shen Qiushan was able to win the Nebula Award was because of his real strength!
Even Wang Zhixin, the loyal "Shenhei", couldn't help but exclaim "awesome" in his heart!
No black!
There is really no point in criticizing this wave!
