Interview program "Focus on People".

This is a program with good ratings on Star TV.

Because Liu Xinzhou criticized Luoyang for not understanding historical knowledge in the last episode of this program, the program's recent ratings increased by several percentage points.

Theoretically speaking, everyone can only appear on "Character Focus" once at most, but Liu Xinzhou broke this convention. Not only did he appear on the program for the second time, but this time he also invited a good friend in the industry, historical writer Tan Ye, to join him. Be a guest.

The host is still the same as last time.

In the program, Tan Ye talked about it: "It has been the eighth year for Lao Liu to write history. From a young man who had difficulty publishing to a middle-aged man in the prime of life, every step he took was very practical. This is not only I alone, and everyone who studies the historical novel system, should know that I have known Lao Liu for several years, and have been watching his progress. I dare not say that in other fields, at least in this three-acre area of ​​​​historical novels, it can be better than Lao Liu’s, no more than three people.”

In the program, Tan Ye praised Liu Xinzhou as his good friend.

Although the words did not mention Luoyang, which had a collision with Liu Xinzhou, there was no lack of specific meaning in the words.

He mentioned words such as "qualifications", "experience" and "research" several times, trying to make all the audience understand one thing, that is, people who have not studied history and do not have much historical knowledge cannot reach the level of Liu Xinzhou This position, and these points he mentioned are exactly the points that Liu Xinzhou had previously criticized for the "Return to the Ming Dynasty to Be a Prince", which makes people feel that this historical writer named Tan Ye and Liu Xinzhou have a good understanding.

As for Liu Xinzhou?

He was silent for much of the show.

When the camera was shown to him, he could be seen smiling modestly, as if Tan Ye was praising him and he deserved it.

If this was just the case, then there would be nothing worth writing about in the program. However, midway through the program, the supporter suddenly asked a question, which made the program's stance instantly clear: "Since both teachers are doing this today, Here, can you help me solve my doubts about the creation of historical novels? "

Liu Xinzhou, who had remained silent, said, "Excuse me."

The host nodded and said thoughtfully: "I paid attention to Teacher Luoyang's activities. It is said that he plans to write a historical novel in vernacular. As far as I know, the writing styles of historical novels are mostly relatively unified, so Teacher Luoyang What do you think of the new vernacular style in your mouth?”

"It's not convenient for me to answer this question."

Liu Xinzhou pretended to avoid suspicion. After all, he and Luoyang were now on opposite sides.

But Tan Ye didn't have so many worries and said bluntly: "Maybe there is a new creative style in history, but I can't understand the purpose of writing history in vernacular. History itself requires rigor. Being pragmatic and educational is contrary to the vernacular itself. Can you imagine a historical novel that is always interspersed with one or two witty quotes from the author? Is it still a serious history? "

"That's it. Thank you two teachers for clarifying my doubts."

The program ended when the host and the guests stood up and shook hands.

However, the turmoil caused by the program will not subside. This issue of "Character Focus" soon spread on Weibo. A historical writer named Jia Yidao forwarded the program and added: "Historical novels are really not the best." Talent can definitely be written well.”

"Teacher Jia is right, history is serious."

"Things with educational significance are incompatible with vernacular humor."

"If Luoyang really plans to write history in the vernacular, most of what will be written will be nondescript."

"Seeing that "Return to the Ming Dynasty to Be a Prince" is openly listed in the history category and has a lot of readers. As a historical writer, I can't help but feel a sense of sadness. Could it be that readers now only like this kind of nutritious text, but they treat us Not interested in the works created after careful research?”

Relatively speaking, the most popular categories such as reasoning, romance, and martial arts...

Historical novels are a niche reading material in the market, which has also led to the majority of historical writers grouping together. In addition, Liu Xinzhou is a big figure in the circle, so historical writers are naturally willing to form a good relationship with him and offer help one after another. .

Of course, Luoyang does not exist in isolation!

There are also many celebrities who support Luoyang.

Wu Qin, the most powerful female writer in the science fiction world, publicly supported Luoyang, and her words were full of defense: "Do you have to cry when you are sad, and laugh out loud when you are happy? If not, why did you write Does history have to be so stubborn and cliched?”

Yao Chongjing in the world of martial arts novels also made a small fortune.

He said jokingly: "So martial arts novels must be cruel and gorgeous, romance novels must be bitter and bloody, and mystery novels must have a few deaths. The reason why historical novels are so niche is because of the influence of many historical writers. It has nothing to do with being stubborn, right?"

In addition to these two people, there are several writers who support Luoyang.

Although Luoyang is not keen on communication between writers, he still has such good friends, and with his current status, there are even some writers who are fans of Luoyang, and there are many people who are willing to cheer for him. exist.

Discuss, theorize, argue!

Many writers from Youlong Culture came out to support Liu Xinzhou.

The writers of Shuimu Culture are naturally full of confidence in Luoyang as if they were competing against each other.

In the literary world at the end of July, there was a lightning-fast collision around the new historical works of Luoyang and Liu Xinzhou. No one on either side could convince the other, and in the end they could only wait for the formal confrontation between the two parties.

On the evening of July 31, Luoyang’s Weibo released the latest news:

"Long time no see everyone, my historical novel "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty" will be available in major bookstores across the country tomorrow. In addition, friends who are lazy and don’t want to go out can also order online through the official website of Shuimu Culture, and couriers will deliver it to your door. ”

With the meager price in Luoyang, the official website of Shuimu Culture announced the ordering channels.

In the Internet age, as online shopping becomes more and more popular, fewer people go to bookstores. Therefore, there is nothing wrong with the official website of Shuimu Culture to keep pace with the times and provide online ordering. However, when the title of this book was announced, many readers did not I couldn’t help but be happy——

Luoyang's new history book is called "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty"?

Hey, it is said that historical books are always famous for their rigor. Not only does your book title not show any rigor, it also reveals a bit of randomness. Could it be that you just picked it up blindly? But I don’t know why, but this seemingly random title makes people feel inexplicably familiar.

Many people became very interested when they saw the title of the book "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty"!
