The straight man in the entertainment circle

Not long after, the two poems Lin Li wrote in the literary club were also circulated on the Internet.

Naturally, the imperial guards all praised him.

"Wow, the boss can also write love poems. He's so good."

"Between the moonlight and the snow, you are the third kind of stunning beauty. Is Lin Li so good at flirting?"

"Who is the one the boss calls stunning? Please take a photo!"

"This poem about life is so amazing. One word tells the true meaning of life!"

"Both of these two are very classic."

"As expected of a great talent from Yan State, these two poems are so amazing!"

"My writing is much better than that old man who overestimated his abilities before!"

"Not just Lao Wai, how many of the poets in the couplet can write such a poem?"

"Don't say that, be careful to attract trouble."

"Haha, what are you afraid of? The boss has said it before. Is he still afraid of attracting gangsters?"

"That's right, these two poems, boss, are better than those in the couplet!"

…………

Not long after posting on Weibo, Lin Li received a call from An Xiaoxi.

"Haha, I didn't expect it. I just saved your number and used it." An Xiaoxi said with a smile.

Lin Li was also a little surprised and asked, "Is it something related to the literary club?"

"No, but it does matter. Didn't you write two poems in the literary club in the afternoon?"

"right."

"Chinese Poetry Magazine in Kyoto wants to publish it. Would you like to publish it?"

Only then did Lin Li realize that he was interested in his own poems.

"Did they contact you?" Lin Li asked.

"Well, I have published poems on it before, so they have my contact information. This time I saw your poem online and contacted me."

Lin Li had also heard of the "Chinese Poetry Magazine". It is a bimonthly publication and one of the few surviving poetry magazines, but Lin Li had never read it.

"Okay, since you know them, if they want to use it, then use it."

Lin Li said that for Lin Li, he was very happy to be seen by more people and increase his reputation.

"Okay, then I will tell them that they will send the manuscript fee when it is published, and I will give it to you then."

"It doesn't matter, it's not much anyway."

Poems are different from articles. Articles are charged per word, while poems are charged per line.

The royalties are not very high, especially Lin Li's song "Life", which is only one line and probably only costs a few dollars.

Early the next morning, after Lin Li finished class, he received a text message from his mother.

The content of the text message is very simple: read Weibo.

Lin Li opened Weibo and took a look and found that there were many comments on his Weibo.

"Boss, go check Lao Wai's Weibo. This Lao Wai is acting like a monster again."

"Haha, this old boy turned into a street rat last time, how dare he show up?"

"I'm telling you, this guy is famous now, albeit infamous."

"Lao Wai published a collection of poems two days ago. Do you think it's ironic or not?"

"Is there a collection of poems like Lao Wai's bad poetry?"

"The current publishing house is really... hard to describe."

"I have published a collection of poems, so I started commenting on Weibo again. I wish we would scold him, so he can gain popularity."

"Just look at him rubbing up against our boss. This guy is shameless."

…………

Lin Li read the comments and went to Lao Wai's Weibo to check it out. He found that the top pin on his Weibo was the promotion of his poetry collection released yesterday.

The following seven or eight Weibo posts are all old men returning to their old ways and starting to comment on the two poems "Stunning Beauty" and "Life" that Lin Li published two days ago.

Lao Wai: What rubbish poetry? Can you have my poetry? You will know how good my poems are by taking a look at my latest collection of poems, "Crooked Poems Are Not Crooked", which is available in major bookstores! Online book purchase link......

Next article: Don’t write random poems if you don’t have the skills. Go back and write your lyrics. Whatever you write, don’t mislead young people. If you want to learn real poetry, you should read more excellent poems, such as my poetry collection "Crooked Poems" "Not Crooked", available in major bookstores, online book purchase link...

In seven or eight articles in a row, Lao Wai criticized Lin Li's two poems, and he always included a line from his new collection of poems, obviously trying to gain popularity.

Lin Li ignored this kind of person and closed Weibo.

After being scolded by Lin Li last time, Lao Wai became a shame in the poetry world and a laughing stock among netizens. He originally felt very gloomy, but it turned out to be a blessing in disguise. The publisher contacted him to collect and publish all his weird poems. .

This made Lao Wai very excited, feeling that he was finally coming through.

When the people from the publishing house signed the contract, they told him that his popularity must be maintained to achieve good sales.

However, the publication was delayed for more than half a month, and the trend of netizens making fun of crooked poems on the Internet has also cooled down. Now he has lost any popularity.

Therefore, when Lao Wai once again saw Lin Li's new poems published on the Internet, he knew that his opportunity had come.

Lao Wai went crazy on Weibo and scolded Lin Li's poems for being rubbish. He was afraid that Lin Li wouldn't see it, so he found a lot of Lin Li's fans to scold him.

He wished that Lin Li would scold him again. In this case, he would attract countless eyeballs and he would not have to worry about the sales of his new poetry collection.

However, he cursed on Weibo for a whole day, but there was no response from Lin Li.

After scolding him for another day, Lin Li still didn't respond, obviously too lazy to pay attention to him.

Lao Wai was ashamed and angry, so he contacted his friend Ling Qing and asked him to help him.

Lingqing then started to criticize Lin Li's two poems on Weibo.

Lingqing: The poem "Stunning Beauty" doesn't have any description. It just says that the other person is stunningly beautiful. Why, do you understand what poetry is? Can you describe it? And the poem "Life" doesn't look like poetry at all. You are a bunch of idiot fans. You all think it's funny when someone writes shit, but please don't insult the poem!

Lingqing is about the same size as Laowai, and has about 300,000 Weibo fans. These fans are basically bought by themselves to show off, so that they can look like a "famous" poet.

After Lingqing posted this Weibo post, it was not long before others saw it, and the comments below were mostly ridiculing.

"Haha, this guy is the same as Lao Wai."

"Haha, Lao Wai can't stir up trouble. Did he drag you on the pirate ship with him?"

"Are all poets today at this level?"

"My two poems have a very good reputation in Yan University. How dare you two compare with Yan University students in such a shabby school?"

"I feel like you two are on the verge of death, trying your best!"

…………

After Lingqing posted on Weibo, there was still no news from Lin Li, and he became angrier the more he thought about it, so he posted a screenshot of the Yu Linjun's comment saying that Lin Li's poems were better than those of the Poetry Cooperatives to his own poetry community.

This group is a group of poetry lovers, with more than a thousand people. There are several real poets in the group, especially the group leader Lou Haojie, who is a director of the Chinese Poetry Association.

After Lingqing posted a screenshot of Yu Linjun's comment, the group exploded.

A rhyme: Are these people too confident?

Storytelling Fat Panda: Is he a star? Can celebrities write poetry?

Wandering Poet Liangzi: I know this person. He is Lin Li. His poetry... seems to be pretty good.

The leaves fall in the wind and feel sad: Even if the writing is good, is it too arrogant?

Jinmaiziyou: It’s normal for celebrities to sell their personalities.

Moonlight Night in the Rain: Stop talking nonsense, send out his poems and have a look. Let me see how well he writes. How dare he say such big words!

Jiuhe Abao: Yes, send this guy’s poem out and let’s take a look.

…………

Lingqing saw that everyone wanted to read Lin Li's poems, so he immediately sent two of Lin Li's poems to the group.

Lingqing: Let’s take a look at these two poems. What do you think?

Marzipan: Aren’t these the two poems circulating on the Internet? They seem to be from students of Yanda University?

God rewards those who work hard: He must be a little star. My nephew seems to like him very much.

Lingqing: Don’t worry about who wrote it. I just want to ask, how do you like these two poems?

Sanfang: I think it’s good.

Return of the Evil Cloud: It's really good, a very good poem.

Gua Wazi: Is this the level? hehe.

Drifting Snow: If it were written by a college student, I think it would be just fine.

Life is like a dream: I think it’s just average and I can’t quite understand it.

Gu Jing Wu Bo Yue Zai Xin: I can't understand it either, especially "Life". Is this a poem?

Summit of Shura: If I write like this, I can write tens of thousands of poems in a day. What a joke!

Qi Yue Wuyi: I really don’t understand what I mean, and it doesn’t have the style of the group leader’s poem at all.

…………

In this kind of pheasant poetry group, everyone's level is uneven. Most people, like Lao Wai Lingqing, like to belittle others and elevate themselves.

Especially Lingqing's words of praise for Lin Li from Yu Linjun at the beginning left a bad impression in everyone's mind. When Lin Li's poem appeared, even those who thought it was good could not help but say a few bad words at this time. Come.

When more and more people say no, the people behind them don’t dare to say yes, otherwise they will become blind, incompetent, and out of touch with others?

So after some comments, Lin Li's two poems became garbage, worse than the poems they recited when they were shitting.

Lingqing felt happy when he saw the constant criticism in the group, and @the group leader Lou Haojie. He was a member of the board of directors of the Poetry Association, and his words had the most weight.

Lingqing: Master, group leader, how about showing me these two poems?

After a few minutes, Lou Junjie said: "I think it would be better to rename "Stunning Beauty" to "Le Se". The poem "Life" is not even as good as Le Se. It's bullshit!

Lou Haojie is the leader of this group and one of the few genuine poets in it. He also holds an important position and is an authority that no member of the group dares to question.

Many people also consulted Lou Haojie privately and paid a lot of apprenticeship fees, hoping to become a real poet like him.

Lou Junjie rarely appears in the group, and when he does, he always says some mysterious things.

When it comes to commenting on modern poetry, he does so in a clear and logical manner. As the so-called literati despise each other, his comments are all disdainful, showing his harsh vision.

Everyone said the poem was rubbish, so naturally he couldn't say it was good. And when he saw the imperial guard saying that Lin Li's poems were better than them all, Lou Junjie felt even more disdainful. He only glanced at two poems and made a judgment.

When Ling Qing saw that Lou Junjie had said this, he naturally felt like he had found a treasure and immediately shared it with Lao Wai. As the most advantageous weapon in their hands, Ling Qing began to mock Lin Li again on Weibo.
