Generation Z Artists

Chapter 70 Passionate Spray

September 9rd, the fourth day that the collection of essays was on the market.

The overwhelming pressure finally made Mengya unable to bear it.

When Zhao Changtian apologized in the interview, Li Qigang was complaining to Fang Xinghe.

"Shanghai Ning's awareness of complaints is truly leading the country. Damn, for such a trivial matter, not only did they file a complaint with our Shanghai Education Commission and Shanghai Federation of Literary and Art Circles, but some parents even called the General Administration of Press and Publication!"

Fang Xinghe was really shocked. He only knew that complaints in the Internet age were particularly fierce, and that a report would be reported to the Cyberspace Administration at any time. He never thought that it would be so violent now...

How to describe it?

Urine nature!
"How is Lao Zhao going to apologize?"

"I just didn't notice it, what else can I do?"

"Okay, okay, I've had enough of my heat, and it's time to draw a line in the sand, right?"

"Hey! You little bastard, you have no conscience at all! You don't have any! I've worked for you for so many days for nothing..."

"Let's get to the point. Do you understand?"

"Then you see, I'll take action..."

"Handsome, Mr. Li, hurry up and fax me a copy of the list."

After being interrupted by Fang Xinghe for the second time, Lao Li couldn't stand it anymore and slammed the phone down: "Damn it, you deserve to be hacked!"

Of course, despite the scolding, he still faxed the list over.

Fang Xinghe picked them up and saw that he had basically collected all the first prizes, but he had missed out on a lot of second and third prizes, but they were not that important in the first place.

Lao Li also compiled a list of their respective literary trends. For example, Chen Jiayong is currently writing a collection of essays on his thoughts on youth, tentatively titled "So-called Youth."

Fang Xinghe couldn't help but send another text message to Li Qigang: "Mr. Li, ask Chen Jiayong to take a close look at my articles and new book, and then polish his pile of shit. Just by looking at the crappy name, I know what it is."

Li Qigang replied "received", and then forwarded Fang Xinghe's text message to Chen Jiayong as it was.

Xiao Chen, who was listening attentively in a classroom at Peking University, felt a surge of anger on his head after receiving the text message and the attached instructions. It was like Nezha transforming and he almost exploded.

Back in the dormitory, he slammed the book on the table and immediately began to write furiously. He first wrote the title and then made an outline. With a flourish, he finished half of "Damn Fang Xinghe".

Damn it, spray it!
You have to criticize even if you can't do it, as if your youth is the only thing that has temper!
……

Back to the bud.

Mr. Zhao half couldn't stand the pressure of the interview, and half wanted to create some more hype.

He used a complete set of seven moves on the reporter from Oriental Satellite TV News Express who came to interview him.

Q: "Now many parents and frontline educators are questioning why your publishing house allowed such an article to pass review and enter the collection. What do you want to say about this?"

A: "This wasn't Mengya's decision. In fact, among all the judges, we at Mengya were the most resolute opposition force. We strongly opposed the selection of Fang Xinghe's two works, but the competition rules stipulate that the minority must obey the majority, so we must abide by it."

The reporter was surprised: "Two articles? How come you don't even think highly of "Growing Up"?"

Mr. Zhao smiled faintly. "Ah, no, it was another article called 'Sex, Violence, and Lies.' That article was even more brutal, more shocking, and more impactful. Ultimately, due to our strong opposition, it was not approved."

The reporter immediately forgot what he wanted to ask and kept asking about "Sex".

"The title sounds wild. It doesn't seem like something a 14-year-old could come up with. Can you tell me what the article is about?"

"That's not necessary. Oral narration can't convey the shock that comes from text."

"It's definitely useless to ask me this. I'll interview Fang Xinghe if I get a chance. He's working on a new project right now, so there's a good chance he'll make his unpublished articles public."

"New project? Can you tell me more about it?"

"Is it something like a youth literature movement? I haven't talked to him specifically, so I'm not sure about the details."

"Wow... he's really capable of making trouble..."

"Young people, it's good to be lively."

"Editor-in-Chief Zhao, you seem very optimistic about Fang Xinghe?"

"It's not that I'm optimistic about him," Zhao Changtian corrected patiently. "Most people who know a little about literature would be optimistic about him. Isn't his level high?"

"But now a lot of people are criticising his level."

"That's unnecessary, isn't it? Readers are not blind. If they just buy a collection of essays and take a look at it themselves, they will definitely be able to recognize his level."

From beginning to end, the reporter was led by Lao Zhao and was almost dizzy.

It was not until I heard this sentence that I realized I had been used as an advertising tool.

But there's nothing to be angry about. What news isn't news? I got so much exclusive information, it was a great profit.

"Then could you please give a brief review of Fang Xinghe's 'Youth'?"

Zhao Changtian's expression finally straightened up, his brows slightly arched together, with a rare solemnity.

"Your question is the answer. The article 'Youth' is Fang Xinghe's youth. We all know that his youth has not yet ended, but as of now, he has made a stage-by-stage summary of his youth.

This article truly, vividly and profoundly reflects Fang Xinghe's thinking about labor pains, optimism, anger, self-compromise and self-pressure.

Don't just look at who he scolded or how many people he humiliated. Look beyond the surface and see the essence, and see how he feels sorry for their misfortune and is angry at their lack of resistance.

In my eyes, Xiao Fang is a child of profound contradictions. He possesses a sincerity and passion rarely seen among today's intellectuals, but he is too ashamed to show it or express it, so he always acts indifferent, unconcerned with anyone and everything.

But think about it carefully, whether it is the concern for laid-off workers or the admonitions for teenagers who have dropped out of school, can a selfish person have the understanding?
After reading his expectations for "Growing Up" and looking at the rain, snow, wind and frost in his imagination, do you still think that his core is as cold and selfish as some media say?
It must not be, it must not be!

Sometimes when I see him, I even think of Mr. Lu Xun, a madman, a loner, and a narrow-minded person... There are too many fallacies in the world!

When you truly know what he has done and what he intends to do, people with conscience will definitely not slander him anymore.

I'm leaving my words here, and anyone is welcome to comment on them!
I am very busy and too lazy to write an article to argue with those ignorant literary parasites about right and wrong. They can never write a decent article in their entire life and can only suck blood from Fang Xinghe, which is despicable.

I sincerely hope that parents and educators will not be misled by them, but instead carefully consider the core ideas in Fang's article. They will surely gain something different."

Lao Zhao still has a certain influence in the Shanghai area. After the interview was released, the argument really got even more intense...

Yes, his influence didn't affect anyone, it just added fuel to the fire.

Because this is not a simple issue that can be influenced by a few words, but a stance, an emotion, a collective agitation unique to the cross-century period.

The fire of school education had just died down, and Fang Xinghe turned around and ignited the fire of family education again. Who wouldn't feel a little wronged?!

It didn't even take until the next day, when a literary critic in the Shanghai Evening News criticized his speech.

"Fang Xinghe has no sincerity or passion at all!"

……

The situation in Shanghai has become a mess, and the imperial capital is no different.

Beijing Youth Daily has many rivals, especially Capital Daily, which was just pulled down from the top spot. It started with 0 frames and started to criticize as soon as it opened the microphone.

"People who don't know how to respect others are never worthy of being idols"

Beiqing slapped Fang Xinghe in the face - Fang Xinghe is now the most popular teenage idol. If you don't agree, go home and ask your daughter!

The Entertainment News suddenly cut into the battlefield: "People who rely on selling their looks will not last long"

Beiqing slapped him again - I'll pay for this face for twenty years! You don't have three to five years left to be tough, so cherish them!
Beiwan hides in the bushes and cautiously asks: "Survey shows: Fang Xinghe's reputation is rapidly collapsing"

Bei Qing rushed over and spat - if you are blind, get treatment immediately. If you are not blind, go to the door of Giordano and see how many people are queuing there!
Sharks are crazy!
Zhao Chunhua went completely crazy with killing!

And what is her most amazing thing?
While writing the manuscript, I rode the green train to Nong'an. When I arrived, I sent the fax and slapped Beichen back...

By September 9, the small part of the public opinion field belonging to literature had been completely turned into a bloody river.

Moreover, it is spreading to the education sector.

However, this time it is no longer a dispute between exam-oriented education and quality-oriented education, but Fang Xinghe's influence on traditional authoritarian education.

His rebelliousness and arrogance were really too much, so even though he lost a lot of fans every day, a steady stream of middle school students were conquered by him.

Shaving the front thorns, wearing the same earrings, wearing Jeanswest clothes, and tucking a corner of the T-shirt into the waistband quickly became a holiday trend in major cities such as Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen.

As for why it’s a holiday… we have to go to class on weekdays.

However, this trend, which is mainly based on middle school student fashion, is unwaveringly eroding society.

On September 9, Fang Xinghe woke up and was surprised to find that the number of fans, which had been plummeting, had finally stopped falling and stabilized.

Level 1 floating powder: 3750000
Level 2 Core: 356000
Level 3 diehard: 64200
Level 4 Frenzy: 3089
The number of floating fans has dropped by 60%, which is likely to have not only washed away the middle-aged men, but also most of the young fans with weak will.

Cutting the core powder in half is more distressing than the floating powder.

But Fang Xinghe doesn't care about them the most, because once they are fans, it is easy for them to come back for other reasons after a period of time.

Even more loyal and steadfast.

After all, your brother Fang is not in a desperate situation, so you can jump around however you want, there is no need to rush.

The most important thing that a collapsed artist loses is not trust, goodwill or resources, but the opportunity to make a comeback. Once this hope of return is lost, no matter how determined the fans are, they will not be able to withstand the despair brought by time.

Brother Ji’s fans collapsed in the dark future, while Xiao Zhan’s Peter Pan was united as one, which is the logic of whether there is hope for return.

Therefore, Fang Xinghe had already anticipated the loss of first- and second-level fans, and he could fully afford it.

But starting from level 3 die-hard fans, it’s all surprises.

In just one week, we gained more than 2 loyal fans and 2000 crazy fans. It’s so cool.

It’s not easy. After so many years of debut, when has your career grown so rapidly?
Sure enough, I still have to be black-hearted...

Judging from the absolute number, the core fan base is too small to play any role in the short term, but this is just the beginning.

Moreover, it is extremely difficult to lose fans of this level, so he can rely on accumulating them and letting the snowball grow little by little. When he really steps into the entertainment industry, he can show the monsters in the circle a lesson on the spot.

"When I enter the entertainment industry, it will be very interesting if people only regard me as a literary idol..."

Fang Xinghe chuckled, sorted out the second draft that had been thoroughly revised, and looked at his watch.

"It's almost time."

Still on the morning of September 9, Fang Xinghe released another killer move prepared for the chaotic public opinion circle through the Beijing Youth Daily.

That was Zhao Chunhua's new interview with him.

It was also something he had been brewing for a long time, a heavy bait for the nest, a fierce eruption, the final warm-up for the show, and a declaration to further purify the fans.
