107. Misunderstanding
After the introduction, Tohei Saburo began to pretend to chat with Bai Gui, but his eyes were on the female students who were socializing in the hall.
These female students were about sixteen years old, just the right age for marriage. They were wearing sailor suits that imitated European navy uniforms, and they were bright and charming. It was somewhat similar to the cultural salon that Bai Gui participated in at Wu Mansion, to see if he could pick someone he liked.
The only difference was that the theme was to discuss literature.
Compared with other professions, it was obvious that the talented men in the literature department would be more favored.
The story of talented men and beautiful women was deeply rooted in people's hearts.
After a while, the female students of the 篍家 performed the Japanese songs they sang in the Juku Middle School. The general idea was: "On a bright moonlit night, the willow branches danced lightly, or because of the wind... "
It was similar to the ancient poetry and lyrics.
After the Japanese songs were sung, male and female students in groups of three or two came forward to socialize and find excuses to chat.
There were also some talented men in the literature department who held their own works and showed them to the literary masters and writers at this gathering. If he could be praised by these literary masters, his value would undoubtedly double and he would become famous immediately...
Bai Guilai Literary Club also wanted to make his novel popular.
A good novel will definitely become popular. But when it will become popular is still uncertain. For example, Du Fu, the poems written by Du Gongbu are absolutely first-class, the peak of Tang poetry, but Du Fu's poems were not very popular during his lifetime.
There is also Ni Leskov, a writer from the Rakshasa Kingdom, who created the narrative style. His works were not valued during his lifetime, but were praised by Leo Tolstoy, Hugo and others after his death...
So he was also waiting on the side, which was not shameful.
The poet Li Bai also did such things. For example, in "Letter to Han Jingzhou", the first sentence wrote: "I don't need to be a marquis of ten thousand households in my life, but I hope to meet Han Jingzhou."
Although the whole article is written with brilliant literary talent, it is too corny...
But before it was his turn to present his work, he saw a female student in a sailor suit holding a roll of newspaper and walked to Tanabe Ryuko, asking her to appreciate it.
Bai Gui had practiced martial arts and had physical talent, so he had sharp eyes and could tell at a glance that this was the newspaper of this issue of the Democratic Progressive Party.
He thought, could this female student be a tap water?
Seeing that his novel was really well written, she recommended it to these famous writers in the industry.
This kind of thing is not uncommon.
Seeing this, Bai Gui stepped out of the queue and walked to Tanabe Ryuko.
Although Tanabe Ryuko is also a well-known female writer, not many people ask her to appreciate her works. First, the feudal system in Japan is a remnant, and women have a low status, so it is unlikely that men who write works will ask a woman to evaluate them. Second, there are many masters in the industry, and she is not so outstanding among them. It is only because she is a female writer that people take a closer look.
"Senior Tanabe, this is a recent issue of the newspaper, please appreciate it."
The female student said.
Tanabe Ryuko nodded, took a look, and then chuckled, "Bai Meiwa, this name is very good, Meiwako, sounds like a gentle and kind woman..."
"Yes, I think this article is good. Many people in the girls' school bought it, which can be regarded as supporting our female creation."
The female student replied immediately.
Bai Gui: "..."
He immediately paused and pulled away a little.
Well, this is also part of the reason why his work can be sold well in Japan. It turned out that his name played a role. At this time, Japan named women. There was a statistics. From the Meiji to the Taisho period, the first name given to women was "Chiyo", followed by "Masako", "Miko", "Wako", etc.
Meiwa and Miyu are also a major source of names.
This can also be regarded as a difference in customs and culture.
For example, in China, during the Spring and Autumn Period, any adult male could be called Zi, which also expressed respect. But in Japan, Zi is a name that the court aristocracy likes to give to women.
There is also the dish of tamagoyaki tofu, which sounds very beautiful. In fact, the Japanese do not appreciate jade. The meaning of jade immediately reminds people of eggs, and tamagoyaki tofu is egg tofu.
Tanabe Ryuko took a few glances, and the more she read the novel, the more amazing it was.
She had a preconceived idea and did not think that it was written by a Qing Dynasty person, because they also knew the history of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and they linked the reform with the reform of the Meiji Restoration at this time, and thought that this was a masterpiece, using the past to illustrate the present.
"I didn't expect that there is such a talented female writer in Japan!"
Tanabe Ryuko was shocked. Such a large-scale narrative is very rare in the Japanese literary world. She thought about it, walked down from the corner of the second-floor stairs, and came to the side of the literary masters such as Futaba Tei Shishu, and recommended this novel to them.
She was qualified to jump the queue to the front.
"Not bad!"
At the first glance at the newspaper, Futaba Tei Shishu clapped his hands and exclaimed.
Although the article at the beginning is good, it is not good enough to amaze him. It is just to give face to Tanabe Ryuko and to support female authors in the Japanese literary world, so it seems that good articles can be appreciated.
"Great, great... I haven't seen such a good article for a long time."
"This article is a new trend!"
Futaba Ting Shishu read it from beginning to end. This time it was not to give face, but he was really amazed by the article.
Reform and strengthening.
The awakening of national consciousness, etc.
All of them can be reflected in just tens of thousands of words, and they are based on historical facts, which is even more rare!
"Mr. Mori, take a look at this serialized novel..."
Futaba-tei Shishu recommended the novel to Mori Ogai, a great writer.
"Shiromiwa..."
Mori Ogai murmured to himself. He read the Analects at the age of five, studied Mencius at the age of six, entered the Yangmeikan at the age of seven, systematically studied the Four Books, studied the Five Classics at the age of eight, and studied Zuo Zhuan at the age of nine. So when he saw this name, he also felt that there was another deep meaning, but he was still led into the ditch by Tanabe Ryuko and thought that it was written by a female writer.
He was familiar with the history of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period and had a clear understanding of this.
"This is a masterpiece, with meaningful words, which is rare... This novel must be recommended!"
"I think this is the best novel of this literary club gathering!"
Mori Ogai nodded slowly. He and Futaba-tei Shishu had similar thoughts. First, he thought that this was written by a female writer and must be supported. Second, it was really well written and was definitely first-class among all the novels...
As for the reason for being first-class, this is a long novel, and it is not known whether the subsequent creation can continue, so it can only be given a first-class evaluation according to the beginning.
They all wrote reviews for this novel.
This is also one of the purposes of this literary club gathering, which is to discover new writers.
With the comments of great writers and literary masters, the novel will undoubtedly be more famous and easier to sell.
In just a short moment, the comments have been written.
"Sorry, this is what I wrote..."
Seeing that these people have almost finished writing, Bai Gui immediately broke through the crowd and squeezed in.
