Generation Z Artists

Chapter 105: The Flood of Fortune [Thanks to the New Alliance]

Yang Mi felt like she was in trouble.

About four days ago, the fans finally organized themselves and began to organize themselves into an action called "Make Fang Xinghe pay the price for being Fang fans."

reason?

The rice has been ruined by Fang fans online, and now you ask us why?!

The direct confrontation online led to a complete hostility between Fang fans and Bai fans. Soon, this hatred spread from online to offline, causing the two fan groups to develop a so-called irreconcilable hatred.

Although the reason is childish, the core is the little girls' sensitivity about "territory".

How can I allow someone to sleep soundly beside my bed?
The idols compete with each other to see who is better. On the surface, it is the little girls fighting for the high ground of "superiority", but in reality, they are fighting for the right to speak in a popular way, to establish the legitimacy of communication, and to build a defensive moat...

The war between idols is essentially about establishing cultural orthodoxy within a small circle.

All Chinese people understand the power of orthodoxy.

This kind of war is simple, crude, violent, and superficial, but its essence is extremely high. If you look at it carefully and understand the various interests and compromises that arise in the process, you will also understand the root logic of the conflict between Eastern and Western cultures.

Whoever is stronger has the power to explain and define everything.

Fang Xinghe is stronger now, so although they both wear earrings, Fang Xinghe is the god of style with a full sense of fashion, while HOT is a sissy who is neither male nor female.

Fang fans can post posters anywhere on middle school campuses, assimilate any neutral people, look down on any other fans, and even openly put the label of "Fang fans" on their heads.

The lower-level fans, Feng fans, and child fans all have to keep a low profile.

As time goes by, the strong become stronger and the weak become weaker, and everything happens so naturally.

The strong fans are expanding outward, while the weak fans are filled with a sense of crisis. How is it possible that there won’t be a collision?
Therefore, fan fights are an absolute necessity.

Having fans but not fighting = there are no real fans at all, it's just an illusion created by the goodwill of passers-by.

When "Kuangchuan" was broadcast, fans of Zhang Yi and Zhang Songwen were working hard. After Chen Daoming finished filming "Infernal Affairs", his middle-aged fans were also arguing and sharing the blame. So who can be an exception?
The answer is no one, and the same applies if we expand the answer beyond the entertainment industry.

Going deeper, fans in a broad sense are not a scourge. Nezha fans "bullied" Captain America, but so what? All we can say is that they did a great job.

It’s just that the idol’s girl fans are too young, which makes a neutral word seem a little strange.

Back to the topic: when there is not much difference between idols themselves, their position in the food chain is determined by their fans.

Whoever is more powerful can defend the sovereignty of the idol and ensure the basic commercial value. Therefore, when fans fight, idols and agencies never stop them.

First, it cannot be stopped; it is an inevitable phenomenon.

Second, I don't want to stop it. Fighting is the most effective and common way of purification, and it has been the case since ancient times.

Fang Xinghe has never mentioned the conflict between Fang fans and other fans on any occasion. For this normal phenomenon, the best thing an idol should do is to ignore it, unless the situation escalates to a certain extent, then it should be cooled down in time.

Therefore, Fang fans are everywhere in the world, and with the publication of "Sex", the hot sales of "Post-80s" and the craze for "Snow", their popularity is getting worse and worse.

This finally led to Baifan going completely crazy.

Some of them somehow learned that a group of parents were complaining about "Cang Ye Xue", so they took great effort to organize themselves online, forming the core of this anti-party action, and then launched a general offensive offline.

Among the four major cities of Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen, Beijing is the key.

Yang Mi is a die-hard fan of both Fang Xinghe and HOT, and her stance is always wavering.

Then, her female classmates from school took her to sign a letter of opinion - no one knew where these little girls got the template, but they copied out a letter of fierce denunciation, signed their names, and that was it.

Finally, they were collected into a big bag and thrown directly into the Education Bureau, General Administration of Press and Publication and other departments by the leader.

It can be said that this was the last straw that broke the camel's back for "Cang Ye Xue".

The parents’ reports could be persuaded and dissuaded by saying that “literary works have artistic independence”, but it was too damn horrifying that a group of middle school girls went crazy and said they wanted to imitate Chen Cang and take revenge on the school.

As a result, the General Administration of Press and Publication held a meeting on Friday and ultimately decided to ban the book.

Once again, it must be emphasized that the publishing department does not have the authority to ban anyone, the radio and television authorities do not care about this matter, and the Writers Association is even less likely to do so. Therefore, the document did not mention anything about Fang Xinghe himself, but simply closed the matter by closing "Cang Yexue".

The meeting started in the morning and the news spread in the afternoon.

There were a few special girls among the white fans' leaders who directly spread the news as good news and battle reports. At around 4 p.m., rumors began to spread on Tianya. Before 7: p.m., many white fans with favorable conditions had already begun to enjoy the joy of victory.

Yang Mi learned the news before 7 o'clock.

Her mood became extremely uneasy because of this.

In order to conceal her disloyalty and fence-sitting, she signed the book reluctantly. She thought to herself: It's okay, it doesn't matter if I have one copy. How could such a good book be in trouble just because of a casual report from middle school students?
As a result, problems really occurred.

While waiting for the "Focus Interview" to be broadcast, she felt the most torment she had ever felt in her life.

On the one hand, she couldn't bear to look at Fang Xinghe, but on the other hand, she didn't know how to "face" him.

I even kept comforting myself: Don’t be anxious, don’t be anxious, it might be fake, and even if it is true, you have no choice?
As a result, when she saw the last scene of the interview, looking directly at the screen with an unprecedented warm smile and proposing "meet at the top", the string that had been tense in Yang Xiaomi's heart finally broke completely.

“Wow…Wow!”

"I'm really not a human being!"

She had never experienced such a strong sense of guilt. Her heart felt as if it was being cut by a knife. She cried and broke down on the spot, scaring her parents.

"what happened, Babe?"

No matter how they asked, Yang Mi just cried silently and refused to tell the reason.

And just when she was being cruelly punished by regret, Fang fans and Bai fans started fighting again online.

In fact, given the current total number of netizens and network coverage, no matter how intense the argument is, it cannot represent the overall situation.

The Internet at this time is really just a very small world.

However, because of Fang Xinghe's popularity and the popularity of "Cang Yexue" itself, the Tianya Chat section was dominated by comments.

The small number of Baifan proudly declared their victory.

"You can curse me as much as you want, Fang Gou is dead anyway!"

"Believe it or not! Let's wait and see!"

"Are you crazy? Are you jumping? Are you going to keep showing off? Let me see how many days of good life you have left!"

"Oh my, oh my, I worked so hard on this crappy book. I don't know how many years I spent writing it, and now, it's gone!"

Fang fans naturally didn’t believe it, but they were indeed outraged.

Naturally, a 1 VS the whole team situation was staged again.

Fans of each group started to take advantage of the situation and mixed in with the other group's fans, and the other group's fans launched a full-scale counterattack.

In the literature section, adults began to discuss whether "Cang Ye Xue" should be banned.

The number of people who ban a work is far less than that of normal people - normal people know that the darkness and depth of a literary work should never be a reason for banning it unless it is promoting outrageous values.

At this time, everyone was still in a state of half-belief and half-doubt, so the argument was not intense, and they just discussed the facts.

On the contrary, the ban faction is very emotional and uses extreme words, which continues to keep the heat up.

It happened to be the weekend, and this little thing has been buzzing around on the internet, going on and off, independent of the real world.

And what does the real world look like?

On Saturday morning, Fang Xinghe’s name appeared on the headlines of the social sections of many newspapers including Beijing Youth Daily and China Youth Daily.

"See You at the Top - The Warmest Message from Idols in the New Era"

Fang Xinghe: I know exactly where I will take my influence

"The most profoundly conscious teenage idol, Fang Xinghe's voice is moving"

"What do idols do? Fang Xinghe: Let's meet at the top"

The direct dissemination of Focus Interviews is always just the beginning. Once the topic is explosive enough, a large number of print media will immediately follow suit.

This time, although there was no contradiction or conflict, Fang Xinghe maximized the positive value.

The official media had to report it, and the information media had to find fault with it, but overall, for the first time, the voices praising him outweighed the voices scolding him.

Then, time passed slowly in the last two days, and on Monday, December 12, "Cang Ye Xue" was officially banned.

A vague statement was published in the People's Daily. Neither the education department nor the cultural department came out. Only the General Administration of Press and Publication sent a brief message.

Notice on the prohibition of publishing and selling certain literary works

The name of "Cang Ye Xue" was in it, but there was no specific reason, only a sentence "Out of consideration for social stability and the mental health of young people, our agency will ban the following works..."

As soon as the message came out, everyone was shocked.

In the morning, Fang Xinghe did not go to class and was answering various phone calls at home.

Some people were simply angry, some were simply sad, and some were afraid that he would get too stuck in a rut, so they gave him detailed interpretations.

"Xiao Fang, you have to understand that there is actually room for maneuver..."

Teacher Wang Meng explained it very clearly.

"The General Administration has specially selected a few niche books that can be banned or not to be listed with you. The signal sent is that it is not targeting you personally. The official document does not characterize "Cang Yexue" as malicious. There is a lot of room for handling..."

"I understand, thank you."

Fang Xinghe certainly appreciated it.

In fact, he also realized that the board was light. It was probably because of the CCTV news broadcast + focus interview that he won such a lenient treatment.

To put it simply, the book was indeed sealed, but it did not damage Teacher Fang's reputation at all.

Anyone who knows a little about politics can easily interpret the General Administration’s subtext - Xiao Fang, we have no choice, and this is definitely not targeting you. Look, we didn’t say a single harsh word!

Teacher Wang Meng continued to advise: "Don't be discouraged or lose heart. Keep writing whatever you want to write and keep publishing books. I guarantee you won't be treated differently."

Wang Yali also called excitedly: "I know you are fine. Did Lao Jin cry?"

This woman really doesn't seem like a good person.

Of course, the literature and art of the time was miserable. They had finally dug up a big gold mine, but just after digging a few shovels, the mine collapsed and everyone held their feet and screamed.

So President Jin cried and complained to Fang Xinghe: "I don't care, you have to compensate me with that collection of essays. How many disasters have I taken for you?"

Wang Yali also came for this matter: "It should be our Writers Publishing House's turn, right?"

Fang Xinghe knew what was going on and made the decision right away.

"Sister Yali, you are about to take charge of the magazine "Post-80s", so don't interfere in the affairs of the magazine. Sister Yuan took over your job, so she got "Triple Door", right? That's enough explanation."

"Uncle Jin, I can give you 'Young Me'. You can decide the conditions. We have a tacit understanding on the rest."

President Jin was overjoyed and broke several ribs on the spot, saying, "I will definitely give you the best conditions."

"Better Days" is essentially a form of compensation.

Fang Xinghe compensates his hometown.

What is written in "Cang Ye Xue" is clear in literary terms, but because of its great influence, it has indeed caused certain negative damage to the county, the province and even the entire Northeast.

But there's no way to apologize for this thing.

Similar cases are not isolated cases across the country. A few days ago, the Department of Prevention uncovered many tragedies that occurred during the period of layoffs, which put great pressure on the Northeast.

But is this kind of pressure completely harmful? Not at all.

Public opinion supervision and literary criticism have always been of great significance and have positive power. The question is whether they are truly objective, truly fair, and truly have warning value.

Those in power also know this, so the two people from the county have not come to the door until now. They have been holding on with their eyes closed, demonstrating a very high level of ability.

It is impossible for Fang Xinghe to apologize publicly for this, and it is impossible for the higher-ups to criticize him publicly for this. It would make him feel even more uncomfortable if they did.

So Fang Xinghe could only take the opportunity to show his attitude, help the province's only key publishing unit earn some renovation fees, and let everyone know that Xiao Fang still cares about his hometown.

When the heat dies down, donate 100 million yuan in scholarships to the county, and the matter will be over perfectly.

……

Fang Xinghe was busy all morning.

The situation is changing dramatically.

"Cang Ye Xue" from regular bookstores such as Xinhua Bookstore was recalled on the same day, while the newsstands below took advantage of the popularity and sold the last wave of copies crazily, and there were no more genuine copies on the market.

Well-informed media outlets released statements together with the announcement, and while they did so, they also expressed their different stances, either applauding or sighing in regret.

By noon, pirated copies were selling like crazy.

Nowadays, there are pirated book stalls near every school, and they are openly displayed in various markets.

At this moment, "Cang Yexue" replaced Jin Yongxin and Jin Yongju, and even replaced the great master of yellow books Song Baisheng, and was placed in the most conspicuous place.

The young people who came here in admiration asked with great expectation: "Boss, is this book "Cang Ye Xue" really that exciting?"

The vendor scratched his head vigorously, looked around with his small eyes, and then leaned forward and whispered, "It's really exciting! Everything you want is in there!"

The young man was overjoyed. He threw down 5 dollars, took the book and left.

Don’t blame them for not knowing what “Cang Ye Xue” is about. Compared to the huge population, the number of people who read newspapers every day is a minority after all, so not knowing is the norm.

Fang Xinghe's real audience, the young boys and girls, were stunned when they looked at the three different versions of the cover.

"Boss, these are all "Cang Ye Xue"?!"

"Replace it if it's fake!"

"You're not lying, are you? Didn't Fang Xinghe only write one version?"

"Huh! What are you talking about? Look at the photos in the book. Is this the handwriting of Fang Xinghe himself?"

"Hiss... these two books are actually his handwritten drafts?!"

"Of course! As soon as his book was published, our Northeastern thief king sneaked in. He didn't steal anything else but his original manuscript. It's a pure authentic copy!"

"Is this thief sick?"

"What do you know? Stealing money is dangerous. If you get caught stealing manuscripts, you'll get a light sentence. Then, if you sell them to pirates, they'll be worth more than a sack of cash!"

“So, all three versions are different?”

"Of course! Let me tell you, the one that was published is an abridged version, right? A lot of the exciting plots were deleted, and the two books I have on hand are the real good stuff..."

The fans went back home dazed with the three books. The boss was very good at business and gave a discount for three books, a total of 12 yuan, which was not as expensive as the original one.

However, I did save money, but do I have to be abused by Fang Fang three times in a row?

Fans looked at the book cover and fell into a headache hell.

Yang Mi was also in headache hell, feeling like the sky was falling.

The news was out, and she couldn't lie to herself anymore.

"I am such a bad woman... wuwuwu, wow!"

This incident was so sad that when Baifan’s classmates were celebrating joyfully, she couldn’t help but burst into tears.

"what happened to you?"

Comrades hurriedly gathered around and tried to comfort the hero.

"I...I...I..."

"Crying with joy?"

Her classmates' outrageous speculations completely tore off her last bit of fig leaf, and she collapsed emotionally.

"I regret it! Do you understand regret?! Why did you report him? Such a good book, such a beautiful love, why did you report him? What did Fang Xinghe do wrong? Open your eyes and look, how many people are sad about "Cang Yexue"? The pioneering work of modern youth literature has been banned, are you happy? I am not happy!"

The surroundings became extremely quiet.

Soon, a feeling of betrayal and anger arose in their hearts.

They were all little girls who had just entered junior high school, and none of them had good emotional control, so the quarrel broke out suddenly and became intense in the shortest time.

"I hate you guys! You're unreasonable!"

Yang Mi is not the type of person who would suffer a loss, nor is she the one who is easily defeated with her words. But today, she behaved extremely abnormally. She just yelled and ran back home crying.

The strong sense of guilt made her rush to the wall and tear down all the HOT posters, even the selfie she took imitating Kangta.

When she was 13 years old, she completely transformed from a die-hard fan of both Fang Xinghe and HOT to a Fang Xinghe fanatic.

At the same time, similar things are happening.

While the core fans were celebrating the victory in various cities, many of the middle-level and even die-hard fans were shaken.

To the fanatical fans, hurting Fang Xinghe is an honor, but low-level fans will only feel guilty about it.

Therefore, Fang Xinghe found it extremely puzzling that on the 7th, the number of die-hard fans soared by a full 5, while the number of core fans at the next level not only did not decrease, but instead saw a slight increase.

This incident made him develop an obsessive-compulsive disorder about data attribution.

Strange, why?!

Logically speaking, there shouldn't be so many hardcore star-chasing girls on the market, right?

It was not until after school in the evening that he saw with his own eyes the internal division of Baifan and the fierce quarrel between the two sides in BiLiao that he finally realized what was going on.

My goodness, I haven’t even made a move yet and my opponent has already ruined himself?
How to describe this?

I can only cite that line of poetry - when the time comes, heaven and earth will work together, and everything will follow your destiny.

Horizontal banner: Qian and Kun work together, and the momentum penetrates Xuan Ji.

Bracket: Let’s eat chicken tonight, good luck~~~
Humming happily, Fang Xinghe discovered that he could add another new attribute to the starlight limit.

Max out immunity, then move on to the next attribute and start recovery.

After the recovery is increased to 89 points, use the extra 1 star point to coordinate and reach 96 points.

Looking at all the attributes that seemed like a pervert, Fang Xinghe realized that he was not far from graduating from high school.

*************
My whole body ached, but I didn't fall down. As a result, I got conjunctivitis due to lack of sleep.

There have been fewer updates in the past two days. I'll take some time to recover and will continue in the middle of the month.

Thanks to the new leader [Ye Xin Wuyou], I would like to offer you this, and wish everyone to be worry-free.
