Just when netizens thought Director Xu was afraid to compete with modern poetry.
Suddenly, someone noticed that Mr. Xu's Weibo account had been updated:
"A generation? What a coincidence! I also have a poem here called 'Modern People,' also titled 'A Generation.' Take a look!"
Following that are the lines, "The night... gave me... black eyes... I... seek the light."
Netizens immediately left comments below:
"Wow! Director Xu actually responded, but why is there only two lines in this modern poem?!"
"Hehe, judging from my rudimentary level of appreciation, I think Director Xu's two sentences are way better than so-and-so's!"
"With my relatively high level of appreciation, I also think that Director Xu's poem is more impressive."
It's important to understand that poetry isn't about who has the most lines, but about the imagery and depth of meaning.
"That's right! That so-called Master Han wrote a whole bunch of nonsense, just whining without any real cause."
However, Director Xu's two lines have a positive and uplifting meaning; the black eyes given by the night are used to find the light.
Isn't this several levels above Master Han's so-called confusion and loneliness?
...
"@MasterHan, come and take a look at this poem, and then look at the crap you wrote. Just tear it up already!"
"Yes, I thought Master Han's poem was quite good just now, but I realized I've been blind."
Because when you look at Director Xu's portrayal of this generation now, the artistic conception and style are so much, so much higher.
"Hahaha, Director Xu knows how to slap people in the face. Others write about one generation, so he writes about another generation."
Others went on for over ten sentences, talking about loneliness and warmth, but he solved everything in just two sentences.
"Yes, I absolutely love those two lines Director Xu wrote: 'The darkness gave me... but I use it... to seek the light!'"
...
Leaving aside the discussions among netizens.
Take Master Han's side for example.
He originally thought that with his modern poetry, that young punk named Xu Lu would definitely be forced to kneel down.
In fact, when he hadn't received a response from the other party for so long, Master Han felt that this was a sure thing.
Old Pang and the others are still no good; they've gone crazy from studying ancient poetry.
What era are we living in? Only modern poetry is considered proper.
Sure enough, after sending out a modern poem, that kid named Xu Lu didn't dare to show his face anymore.
However, just as Master Han was feeling satisfied, news suddenly arrived.
Xu Lu responded, and also wrote a poem called "A Generation".
"Heh, you think you can intimidate me by having the same name as me?"
Young people are still too young.
Poetry isn't something that can be accomplished with just a name. Let me see what kind of nonsense you've written..."
Before Master Han could finish his mental reaction, he froze on the spot.
Because at that moment, he had already seen the Weibo post where someone had tagged him.
There were two lines of poetry written there.
It was only two lines, but for Master Han, it was no less than being struck by lightning.
The shock was so great that he couldn't even control the trembling of his fingers.
After a long while, Master Han finally read out the two lines of poetry with trepidation:
"The darkness... the night, it gave me... but I... used it to seek... to find the light, how... how is that possible?"
How could a young person possibly write modern poetry of this caliber? It's completely impossible!
As a master of modern poetry research.
Master Han may not be the best at writing poetry, but his appreciation skills are definitely on point.
At that moment, I instantly felt a sense of defeat.
All the poems I painstakingly wrote are worlds apart from these two lines of poetry!
In fact, Master Han was not the only one who was shocked at this moment.
Within cultural circles, there are quite a few masters and scholars who are paying attention to this matter.
When everyone learned that Elder Pang and Elder Liu had been humiliated by a mere young man...
Many people in the circle are itching to teach that guy surnamed Xu a lesson.
However, everyone was a little slow, which allowed Master Han to get there first.
When Master Han wrote his poem "A Generation", people in the industry nodded in agreement.
This indicates that the poem is of excellent quality and should be enough to appease a young lad.
Xu Lu did not respond afterward, which seemed to confirm everyone's guess.
However, just when everyone thought the dust had settled, an unexpected turn of events occurred.
Xu Lu responded.
And it was filled with the smell of gunpowder.
The modern poem he wrote in response was also titled 'A Generation'.
Upon seeing this, people in the industry became agitated, filled with righteous indignation.
If they weren't incapable of running over to beat someone up via the internet, these masters and scholars would have already run to Xu Lu's side by now.
Of course, it remains to be seen whether they will come to beat people up or to get beaten up.
That's not necessarily true.
However, this restless mood did not last long, because everyone soon saw Xu Lu's two lines of poetry, "A Generation".
In an instant, everyone in the industry fell silent.
Looking at the poem, which consisted of only two lines, everyone felt dizzy and disoriented.
Because the shock was too great.
If we were to rate Master Han's song "A Generation" as a 90 out of 100, it would be a strong contender.
So the song 'A Generation' that they are seeing now deserves a perfect score.
Don't be fooled by the fact that there is only a ten-point difference between the two.
But what was that saying again? Master Han can score 90 points because he only has 90 points of ability.
This song, 'A Generation,' deserves a perfect score of 100, simply because a perfect score is only 100.
One hundred points is not the limit of this song 'A Generation'; it is just the limit of what everyone perceives.
...
"It's over, Old Han has really lost face this time. He actually ran into such a jinx."
"Yes, he wrote a poem about a generation, but I didn't expect the other party to also write a poem about a generation, and it's better than his."
This...this is a blatant slap in the face! If I were Lao Han, I would have jumped off a building by now.
"What's the background of this Xu guy? How come he writes such good modern poetry?"
"He's not from the industry, he's a director who also wrote a wuxia novel called The Return of the Condor Heroes..."
...
The masters all fell silent for a moment.
But on Daxu Culture's side, everyone was completely dumbfounded.
What happened? Didn't President Xu go to a cocktail party?
Logically speaking, he should be on good terms with these cultural figures, so why did he suddenly start fighting with a group of masters?
If I had known this would happen, I wouldn't have forced him to attend the party; perhaps the outcome would have been better.
"But... how come Mr. Xu is also so good at writing poetry?"
The masters present at the scene were just rendered speechless by his rebuttal, and now this old man is waging a war of words with others online!
When Tang Siqiao and Feng Xiaoxia saw the song "A Generation", they all had the same thought.
