Xue Zhenguo and his daughter Xue Man also left Shuangxing and rejected the invitation from Su Jiangsheng and Li Huangjiang to visit them.
They just came to listen to Wang Qian's lectures. After listening, they felt that it met their expectations and even invited Wang Qian to give lectures at Peking University!
The goals of their trip had been achieved and they had already booked a flight back to Beijing in the afternoon.
While eating at a restaurant near Shuangxing, Xue Man operated her mobile phone and published a long article on her Weibo about Wang Qian's two works. She then praised Wang Qian as the number one contemporary ancient poet in the Chinese literary world, and also the number one in the field of calligraphy!
Xue Man whispered, "Dad, Professor Wang deserves to be the number one in the field of contemporary ancient poetry and calligraphy, right?"
Xue Zhenguo ate his meal slowly, without looking at his phone or talking. He just looked at his daughter, nodded, and said "hmm".
In Xue Zhenguo's opinion, there are rules for eating, and one should not talk while eating!
However, since they were not at home and there were no outsiders around, Xue Zhenguo did not control his daughter and allowed her to play with her cell phone and talk.
Xue Man continued: "I have already said it publicly."
Xue Zhenguo frowned slightly and looked at his daughter, then thought about it and still said nothing.
In terms of talent and natural ability alone, Xue Zhenguo really can't find any fault with Wang Qian!
The only problem with Wang Qian is that he is young and comes from an ordinary family!
If Wang Qian was already in his fifties, had accumulated a lot of excellent works, and came from a scholarly family and graduated from a prestigious university, he would probably become a leading figure in the contemporary literary world, and no one would deny it!
This is a question of qualifications!
The more this kind of circle it is, the more importance is placed on seniority.
Young people want to suppress the older generation
It doesn't exist here.
No matter how talented you are, if others don't recognize you and don't give you the opportunity to enter the circle, let alone the chance to win awards and improve your qualifications, you will be helpless and can only entertain yourself.
This is the greatest power held by the older generation.
Xue Man continued to eat while flipping through her phone, and said softly: "Many people disagree with this. Uncle Yang, Uncle Zhou, a few people I know, and many people I don't know, all publicly said that Wang Qian doesn't deserve such a title."
Xue Zhenguo nodded, put down his chopsticks, and nodded: "This is normal, he is too young!"
Xue Man: "Well, there are still many people who are obsessed with Professor Wang's talk about the Three Kingdoms. Professor Wang said he wanted to write a novel about the characters of the Three Kingdoms. However, many people say that he is not qualified to write the history of the Three Kingdoms. Isn't this nonsense?"
Xue Zhenguo picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea. After thinking for a while, he said softly, "He is indeed not qualified to write the history of the Three Kingdoms. However, if he writes a novel, it doesn't matter."
Xue Man showed her phone to her father: "Look, Grandpa Jia has publicly said that Professor Wang is an actor..."
Xue Zhenguo picked up his phone and looked at it. He saw Jia Fuqing, a leading figure in the Northwest literary world, publicly said on Weibo: "A performer wants to write a history of the Three Kingdoms? Why?"
Seeing this, Xue Zhenguo fell silent for a moment.
This is because Jia Fuqing is a generation older than him, and is one of the most influential figures in the entire Chinese literary world. He is the biggest name in the Northwest cultural circle. He has written several masterpieces in his life, including novels, biographies, and academic works on literature and history, all of which have received great responses. He has won almost all domestic literary awards and is now the honorary president of a famous university in the Northwest!
Therefore, when Xue Zhenguo saw Jia Fuqing talking about Wang Qian like this, he didn't know what to say. The two families were not enemies, and the circles they belonged to still had some interactions with each other.
As a junior, he was not qualified to comment on Jia Fuqing. He returned the phone to his daughter Xue Man and said calmly, "Don't get involved in this kind of thing. Just watch the fun."
Xue Man curled her lips and said nonchalantly: "Grandpa Jia is just bullying people!"
Xue Zhenguo said softly, "This is a very complicated matter. You are young and don't understand it, so don't talk nonsense. When you go back this afternoon, just focus on preparing your paper."
Xue Man said "oh" and lowered her head to continue eating, but she still wrote on her phone with one hand: "Professor Wang was talking about a novel about characters from the Three Kingdoms, how did it become a historical revision?"
Just a simple rhetorical question, click send!
No matter what my father thinks or asks.
Xue Man is determined to support Wang Qian at all costs!
How could I not support a peer like Wang Qian who is so talented, capable, and has a good character
…
This debate was originally a two-way debate.
Many people support Wang Qian, and many people oppose Wang Qian. The two sides almost go back and forth, and each has their own arguments. Those who support Wang Qian have their reasons, and those who oppose Wang Qian also have their reasons!
But.
As the leading figure Jia Fuqing joined the opposition to Wang Qian.
The voices against Wang Qian suddenly surged.
Many famous writers and older generation literary workers in the academic circle have also come out to belittle Wang Qian.
Many young people who support Wang Qian no longer dare to argue with him publicly...
Because, many of those who opposed and belittled Wang Qian were elders they knew, or friends of elders at home, so how could they dare to oppose him publicly? They could only shut up and keep quiet.
For example, Zhang Yue, an author who has won a national literary award, publicly said: "Relying on natural inspiration and quick thinking, one can certainly be amazing in the field of poetry and couplets, but without a solid knowledge base and years of accumulation, it is impossible to write a true masterpiece."
"The so-called new-style calligraphy is just one person's opinion. Who would admit that his own calligraphy is new-style calligraphy? It's just self-entertainment in a small circle."
"Young man, don't be too ostentatious. Just study peacefully. No one wants to suppress you, but you are so impetuous, constantly hyping yourself for fame and fortune, and now you call yourself the best of the contemporary world. I can't stand it anymore, so I have to stand up and say a few words."
Zhang Yue has been famous for 30 years and has only published two novels, but both won national awards and were made into long TV series broadcast on CCTV. He is known as one of the most influential writers of our time, and his novels have influenced almost a generation.
At the same time, Zhang Yue is the chairman of the Writers Association of a northwestern province and also a professor in the Chinese Department of a prestigious university. It is no exaggeration to say that he is a backbone force in the cultural circle.
The most important thing is that Zhang Yue is Jia Fuqing’s student!
In addition to Zhang Yue, many powerful figures in the cultural circle have also come out to support Jia Fuqing!
Of course, most of them are people from the Northwestern cultural circle, and there are not many people from the Beijing circle and the southern circle.
On the Internet!
The voices supporting Wang Qian suddenly became much smaller, and many young people did not dare to speak out.
The voices disparaging and opposing Wang Qian grew louder and louder, and quickly became the most popular on major social platforms, with a large number of people joining in the discussion.
Many people are led by some authoritative experts and scholars they know.
"Objectively speaking, there is nothing wrong with what Professor Liu said. Wang Qian himself said that he is just an actor, a playwright. What qualifications does he have to write the history of the Three Kingdoms?"
"I don't believe the information about the destroyed library! It's all his own opinion. If it really existed, why didn't anyone else know about it for so long?"
"Wang Qian is only interested in developing his career in the entertainment industry. He is not a scholar at all. He went abroad to sing and make money. He even forced himself to claim that he was bringing glory to the country and the nation. How ridiculous..."
"The history of the Three Kingdoms was almost destroyed in thousands of years of war. Wang Qian wants to write history based on a few stories told by grandpa? It's better to be serious even if it's a joke."
…
…
Wang Qian and Qin Xuerong were sitting in the car, reading messages on Weibo.
At the beginning, he was still watching many people supporting Xue Man's statement and supporting his achievements and status in the field of literature.
But, not ten minutes.
Public opinion seems to be turning the other way...
Wang Qian witnessed all this with his own eyes!
Even though he has been in the entertainment industry for two lifetimes and is used to this kind of manipulation of public opinion, he was still somewhat surprised by such a rapid reversal of public opinion!
And all this.
It was Jia Fuqing's question that brought up the tempo.
Wang Qian looked at Weibo and saw that Xue Man was still supporting him, but the number of people who agreed with his views had decreased significantly. Many people in the entertainment industry who had interacted with him and supported him before disappeared, and even a few second- and third-tier stars deleted the comments that they had just made in support of Wang Qian.
What is quite rare is.
Su Jiangsheng of Shuangxing stood up to support himself, but he was just representing himself.
Su Jiangsheng: "Professor Wang's lecture at Shuangxing today has benefited us a lot, especially in the field of ancient poetry and couplets. Many teachers and students said that they have learned a lot. Therefore, in the field of ancient poetry and calligraphy, I think Professor Wang's level is unquestionable. As for the issue of the history of the Three Kingdoms, I think everyone is making a fuss. Professor Wang said that he just wanted to write a novel related to the Three Kingdoms, and he is not really writing history for the Three Kingdoms. We can just wait and see when the work comes out."
"I personally support Professor Wang. Moreover, on behalf of the Chinese Department of Shuangxing University, I would like to extend an invitation to Professor Wang. I hope that Professor Wang can come to our Chinese Department to teach, be given the title of formal professor, and enjoy the due treatment!"
Su Jiangsheng once again demonstrated his absolute sincerity. When many people on the Internet were criticizing Wang Qian, he stood up to personally support Wang Qian and publicly extended an invitation to teach on behalf of the Double Star Chinese Department. This will definitely bring him tremendous pressure from the Northwest literary circle.
However, Su Jiangsheng still did it and took on some of the pressure for Wang Qian.
Wang Qian was slightly touched and was tempted by Su Jiangsheng's invitation.
Since others are kind to him, Wang Qian naturally has to repay them!
At the same time, Tang Hepeng and Lu Chunhu from Zhejiang University also stood up and expressed their personal and firm support for Wang Qian.
Tang Hepeng: "Professor Wang's talent and strength in ancient poetry and calligraphy are beyond doubt. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is the best in the contemporary world. If anyone is dissatisfied, they can compete with Professor Wang head-on. Anyway, I don't think I am qualified to challenge Professor Wang!"
Lv Chunhu: "I have recently studied Professor Wang's new style of Slender Gold calligraphy and have gained a lot of insights. To be honest, this Slender Gold calligraphy has a beauty that other calligraphy styles do not have. I especially like this kind of elegant and natural beauty. It's a pity that I haven't got a real calligraphy work of Professor Wang so far."
…
Liu Shengnan was just at Qin Xuehong's villa. After taking a quick look at the public opinion on the Internet, she took a photo of the calligraphy work "Xia Ke Xing" that was being framed and posted it on her Weibo, saying simply: "Professor Wang dared to write a "Xia Ke Xing" to encourage him to go abroad and win glory for his country and nation. Not only did you not support him behind the scenes, but you also belittled your own people! Who can write a "Xia Ke Xing" and write it in a master-level calligraphy created by himself? If you can't, then please be quiet!"
"Professor Wang said that he just wrote a novel about the Three Kingdoms, not a historical record. Why are you attacking him for this? Are you trying to show off your authority? How boring!"
This is one of the few times that Liu Shengnan has spoken so bluntly on the Internet, almost naming and criticizing someone.
The comments below Liu Shengnan’s Weibo instantly became lively.
"Shengnan's words are so nice, I like it, hahaha, those who rest on their laurels should be said like this! They don't do anything themselves, and they don't let others do anything either."
"Shengnan and Professor Wang are true friends. They would go through fire and water for their friends!"
"If Professor Wang gave me a work like this, I would not only curse for Professor Wang, I would even chop people for him."
"Is this the authentic work of the legendary Knight's Path? Woohoo, Shengnan, can you sell it to me? Name your price."
"Shengnan said it well. I support Professor Wang and Shengnan..."
…
Wang Qian also saw Liu Shengnan’s Weibo, liked it and reposted it, but didn’t say anything immediately. He just hugged Qin Xuerong, sat quietly in the car, and went all the way back to the downstairs of the unit!
Farewell to the driver of Double Star.
Wang Qian and Qin Xuerong returned home and completely relaxed.
Qin Xuerong brought some food to Wang Qian, and looking at Wang Qian's serious face, he said with a little worry: "Are you worried? Are you unhappy?"
Qin Xuerong didn't know what was happening on the Internet. She had been leaning on Wang Qian and giving him a massage to relax him.
Wang Qian said softly, "Nothing, go make lunch and we'll eat at home."
Qin Xuerong immediately smiled happily.
She liked the feeling of being together with Wang Qian at home. They cooked and ate together, just like they were living their daily lives. It was plain and real, but full of happiness.
Qin Xuerong immediately agreed: "Okay, I'll go buy some food, you take a good rest at home."
Wang Qian smiled and nodded!
Qin Xuerong immediately picked up a basket of vegetables, hung it on her arm, looked around in front of Wang Qian, and laughed, as if she was a virtuous wife who knew how to manage her life, and then quickly went out.
Wang Qian stood at the door, leaning against the door frame, watching Qin Xuerong go out and get into the elevator before closing the door and coming back.
Turn on your computer!
Wang Qian first logged onto Qian Qian Jing Ting and saw that the total download data of Jiucao Gangmu had exceeded 70 million and was approaching 80 million. It was obvious that it had set a new record for the download of a single in 24 hours.
Moreover, it is a record that probably no one can break!
For other people’s singles, getting 70 million downloads a year is already a super good result!
Over 70 million downloads in a single day
It exists in a dream, or I wouldn't even dare to think so in my dreams.
However, after 24 hours, the download data of Jiucao Gangmu began to drop sharply. Although it was already horrible compared with the songs on other platforms, it was very ordinary compared with the download data of about 70 million in the first 24 hours.
However, this is the appeal of Wang Qian in Qianqian Jingting. He can attract most users to download in a short period of time, but there are not many left after that...
Both the songs "Life in Bloom" and "Good Night Beijing" have received over 50 million downloads!
The download data of new English rock songs also exceeded 50 million!
The download data of several new songs released by Ru Ke's Bao Jia Jie Band has also exceeded 50 million at this moment, which is the result that a super-giant singer should have, and also established his super-giant status.
Qian Qian Jing Ting is creating a new history in the Chinese music scene, and is using it to suppress the Tengfei platform to be extremely low-key. There has not been a single new song released by a big-name singer in the past two days.
Wang Qian was no longer so excited. He just looked at it calmly, knowing that this result was enough. Then he went to Qianqian Collection of Essays and uploaded the two works "Xia Ke Xing" and "Lin Jiang Xian".
then.
Wang Qiancai logged on to Weibo and said on Weibo: "Thank you very much for your support. The two works "Xia Ke Xing" and "Lin Jiang Xian" have been published on Qian Qian Wen Ji. Friends who like them can download them."
"At the same time, I just saw that some friends have some disputes about my position in the literary field. Let me explain it here in person! First of all, I have never said that I want to join a writers' association or anything like that. I am indeed not from a scholarly family, nor did I graduate from a prestigious university. So, this is the truth. Moreover, I will not join a writers' association in the future, and I don't want to win any awards. So, no matter what position you give me, I don't care."
"Secondly, I really don't care about the evaluation of experts, professors and scholars for my ancient and modern poems, whether they are good or not. As long as the people who support me like them, that's enough. Zhejiang University and Shuangxing invited me to give lectures, which was also a great favor to me. I refused at first, thinking that I was not capable of giving lectures. But the invitations were so many that I couldn't refuse them, so I had to go. In the end, the lecture was a success and I lived up to their kindness."
"Also, I have accepted an invitation to give lectures at Beijing University. When I return from North America, I may go to Beijing to fulfill some of my promises."
"So, you see, whether you admit it or not really has no effect on me."
"Originally, I didn't want to pay attention to this kind of thing, because I never hype, never try to get attention, and never say nonsense! But this time, I decided to respond."
"I said I wanted to write a novel about the Three Kingdoms. I know myself well and I am not qualified to write academic works, so I just wrote a novel. Is that not okay? You are meddling too much."
“Not only do I want to write this novel, I want to write it now.”
"I've already thought of a name. It's called Romance of the Three Kingdoms!"
“It will be published on the Qianqian Collection Platform!”
"I will upload it at 12 o'clock tonight. I will upload as much as I have written. Everyone is welcome to read it."
Click Send!
Wang Qian was not so polite this time.
It was almost a direct response to those people's doubts.
Therefore, it immediately caused a wave of shock on several major online social platforms.
Almost no one expected that Wang Qian would respond so openly and strongly to the doubts and suppression from the Northwest cultural circle!
Many people thought that Wang Qian would give in.
After all, Wang Qian had always behaved modestly, low-key and gentle, like a modest gentleman.
With such a character and behavior, when faced with questions from seniors, he should also reflect on himself and compliment the other party in order to gain recognition
This is what many young literary workers do...
No matter what the seniors say, I just admit my mistakes, and then I can slowly integrate into the community, slowly become a senior myself, and then treat the next generation of young people in the same way, forming a cycle...
But…
Wang Qian said at this moment: "No, I don't agree with you! You don't want me to do it, but I want to do it, and I want to do it right away."
