Chapter 137 Is Xiaolin going to the literary institute?(2/2)
Among the judges, Ding Ling and Feng Mu also wrote comments on his works, and everyone spoke highly of Lin Chaoyang.
Ba Jin also deliberately called Lin Chaoyang to his side and asked with a smile: "Should I call you Comrade Wang Qinglai, or should I call you Comrade Xu Lingjun?"
Lin Chaoyang smiled and said, "You might as well call me Chaoyang."
"Wang Qinglai is Xu Lingjun, and today's award ceremony was not in vain. I will tell Xiaolin when I go back, she will be surprised."
There was a hint of narrow-mindedness in Ba Jin's smile, and he said to Lin Chaoyang: "I read "Qiu Ju's Lawsuit" earlier and thought it was well written and very realistic.
Xiaolin showed me your movie "Parental Love" before. The style change is quite big, but it is very similar to the style of "Wrangler" and "Little Shoes". It is a pity not to write about rural areas anymore!"
Ba Jin's words immediately reminded Lin Chaoyang of the letter Li Xiaolin wrote to him before, which was after "Parental Love" sent it to "Harvest".
At that time, Li Xiaolin wrote a letter saying that "Parental Love" had been adopted, but mentioned her father Ba Jin's impressions of the novel. He thought it was a pity that Lin Chaoyang did not continue to pursue the kind of realism that reflected rural life.
There are many writers who write about rural life in this era, such as Gao Xiaosheng in this year's awards, but there are few of them with a style like "Qiu Ju's Lawsuit".
However, most of the writers who wrote about rural society in this era continued the literary tradition of the 1950s and 1960s, were born out of novels in the liberated areas, and had strong political elements.
Many novels are similar in creation, and there is no big difference. For example, in the setting of characters, there are hard-working and selfless rural grassroots cadres, there are activists who firmly follow the path of collectivization, and there are backward elements who waver between the two paths.
and class enemies who carry out destruction.
Although each writer handles the plot differently, in the literary world, it seems that he has fallen into a cliched and stereotyped creation.
The novel "Qiu Ju's Lawsuit" is different from the previous domestic rural-themed novels in its spicy writing style and strong irony, which breaks the traditional barriers and styles of rural-themed novels.
""Qiu Ju's Lawsuit" is actually not about the countryside, but about the officialdom." Lin Chaoyang said with a smile.
Lin Chaoyang only answered one sentence, which gave Ba Jin a sense of enlightenment. After thinking for a moment, he laughed and clapped his hands.
"You, the author, gave me a heads up! That's right, that's more accurate."
After Ba Jin laughed, he asked again: "Your style is unique. I think you can continue writing!"
The old senior urged me to update it in person, but Lin Chaoyang was too embarrassed to refuse and said, "I will definitely write it if I have the chance."
Ba Jin nodded and encouraged him again.
While the two were chatting, Ding Ling asked Lin Chaoyang, "Does Xiao Lin want to go to the literary lecture center?"
