Chapter 2660 2662【Admiration】
After returning from Xiangshan, Xiang Nan continued to write books.
"Lao Qi, you should go out for a walk in this fine weather. Don't you feel bored writing books all day long?" Sixth Sister Runzhi came in and smiled. Minzhi and Meili also came along.
"Okay, let's go for a walk." Xiang Nan put down his pen and came to the garden with them.
The maid immediately served soft drinks and fruits for the four of them to enjoy.
Basking in the warm sunshine, blowing the gentle breeze, smelling the faint fragrance of flowers, eating sweet fruits...the life of a wealthy family is indeed carefree.
"Don't tell me, it's really comfortable to bask in the sun." Xiang Nan said with a smile while peeling the lychee.
"That's right. When you go out for a walk, your mood will also improve." Minzhi said with a smile, "And when a person is in a good mood, writing will also be full of ideas and ideas."
Xiang Nan nodded, fed the peeled lychee to Meili, and then said with a smile, "Fifth sister, sixth sister, just talk about what you want, there is no need to go around so much."
"Hey, how do you know that we have something to ask you?" Runzhi said in surprise.
"How fresh. I've been writing a book for more than a month. It's the first time for you to go to my study." Xiang Nan said with a smile, "So I must go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing. After all, I am asking for a donation , you still want me to attend your event."
"Old Seven, people have become smarter after you wrote the book." Minzhi smiled.
Runzhi waved his hands and said, "Neither. We thought, since you are so good at writing books, can you write a script for our drama club?"
"Script? What subject do you want?" Xiang Nan asked suspiciously.
"It's fine." Jin Minzhi smiled.
Actually, it would be nice if they had an original script. After all, there are not many good scripts in China now, and the drama clubs are mostly performing foreign scripts, such as "La Traviata", "A Doll's House", "Hamlet" and so on.
"Okay, I'll bring it to you in two days." Xiang Nan nodded.
…
Two days later, Xiang Nan handed over the script he had written to Jin Runzhi.
Jin Runzhi took it and took a look, and saw two large characters on the cover—"Thunderstorm".
She read it out of curiosity, and was soon overwhelmed with shock.
Xiang Nan's play has bold and avant-garde themes, exciting plots, refined and implicit language, and unique characters. It can be said that the quality is high enough to be compared with Shakespeare, Gogol, Ibsen, and Balzac.
She had never seen such an excellent original Chinese script, and she couldn't help looking at Xiang Nan in surprise.
"Old Seven, you really wrote this script? You are too good!" She really couldn't believe that such a profound script would come from the hands of her younger brother.
"What's so amazing, it's just writing." Xiang Nan said lightly, "Sixth sister, if you can use this script, you can use it. If it doesn't, you can write it later."
"Use it together, use it together, it's too suitable." Jin Runzhi nodded repeatedly.
She was originally a progressive student, extremely resistant to feudal ideology, and pursued fairness, justice and freedom.
Xiang Nan's play strongly criticizes the bourgeoisie and feudal ideology, praises and encourages the reformers, and sympathizes and sympathizes with the poor.
…
Then the script "Thunderstorm" was taken to the drama club by Jin Runzhi. Anyone who had read it was deeply shocked by the quality of the script.
Half a month later, the play was officially staged, and immediately caused a strong sensation in the theater circles, literary circles, and critic circles of Yanjing. People from all walks of life gave this drama a very high evaluation.
The well-known writer Li Liewen praised this script as having epoch-making significance in the Chinese theater circle, "Thanks to "Thunderstorm", I believe that there are indeed modern dramas in China."
Then the well-known magazine "New Youth" published the script of "Thunderstorm" on the entire page, which made the script quickly known to the public, and its influence was not limited to Yanjing City.
Xiang Nan was recognized by the industry because of this, and even many famous experts at that time praised it.
For example, Lu Xun commented, "Tragedy is to destroy the valuable things in life for others to see. So what did "Thunderstorm" destroy?"
This family tragedy tortures, destroys and destroys the struggling human nature of eight people through the conflict between family relationships and ethical concepts, and the tragedy of survival is also staged..."
Ye Shengtao also commented, "True tragic art should not only focus on real social problems and reflect the suffering of the people. It should also have metaphysical thinking about the exploration of fate and the questioning of existence.
"Thunderstorm" has two meanings of transcending the age and universality. It rises to a higher level of revelation and exploration of human existence by the writer, and has profound connotations. "
The unanimous praise of these top literary giants greatly increased Xiang Nan's status in the literary and drama circles.
While the martial arts novels he wrote before were very popular, they were all low-key entertainment works after all, and they were not welcomed by the mainstream literary circles.
The evaluation of his works by the mainstream literary circles is: the content is vulgar, the ideas are empty, and he blindly flaunts the taste of doctrine.
It is this "Thunderstorm" that makes the mainstream literary circles start to look at Xiang Nan with admiration.
…
Since his reputation has improved, Xiang Nan is naturally very happy.
Because fame and fortune have never been separated from each other since ancient times, only those who are famous are beneficial, and those who are beneficial are famous.
Being a well-known writer himself, at a young age, it will be convenient for him to chase Leng Qingqiu in the future; at an older age, fame is a talisman, no matter who will be the ruler, there will always be some fear of celebrities.
Xiang Nan then continued to write his own novels, gradually improving his fame and status.
And his relationship with Bai Xiuzhu is getting deeper and deeper.
In fact, no matter in the book or in the play, Jin Yanxi is an incompetent dude who eats and eats all day long, doing nothing but eating, drinking and having fun.
In the book, Bai Xiuzhu looked down on Jin Yanxi at all. The reason for being with him is mainly because he is the prime minister's son. Later, when her brother became prime minister, Bai Xiuzhu immediately changed her face towards Jin Yanxi.
In the play, although Bai Xiuzhu likes Jin Yanxi, it is more out of a desire for control. She regards Jin Yanxi as something in her pocket, so she has been trying to control him.
But Xiang Nan is much more capable than Jin Yanxi, and his novels, poems, and scripts all demonstrate his talent. All women have the mentality of admiration, especially for a girl like Bai Xiuzhu.
The more excellent Xiang Nan is, the deeper her infatuation becomes.
What's more, Xiang Nan also inherited Chen Haonan's charm, Cao Xiaoqiang's popularity with women, and Fang Yifan's affinity. The combination of these qualities made him seem like a friend of women.
Therefore, Bai Xiuzhu became more and more infatuated with him, and she was only one step away from the final breakthrough.
