Obviously, the idea of this chameleon comes from Chekhov, one of the three great short stories in the world. The original text is that in the era of tsarist autocracy, police officer ochumilov received a report that he was bitten by a wild dog. At first ochumilov didn't know whose dog it was, so he wanted to kill it. But then some of the onlookers said it was the general's dog, and ochumilov's attitude immediately changed. Then, with the focus on whether the dog was a pet in the general's house, ochumilov continued to "change color" by putting on and taking off his coat. Finally, it was determined that it was the dog in the general's brother's house. Ochumilov not only did not punish the dog, but also threatened the bitten man.
The protagonist of the chameleon written by Wu Di is Yang Xiaoming. Of course, her name must be a pseudonym. Although she wrote this satirical novel for pen combat based on Yang Xiaoming's bad deeds in those years, it was exaggerated to a certain extent, otherwise it could not cause satirical effect.
Her novel is probably written by a literary critic of Yang Xiaoming's style, who came out by plagiarism and received a complaint from a friend who is also a critic in the literary world, saying that she was scolded by a new writer
The protagonist said that he would directly stink the reputation of the new writer. Anyway, I haven't heard that the new writer has any background or is covered by literary giants.
Everyone knows that once the new writer's reputation is bad, it will be extremely unfavorable to his future in the literary world. It can be said that this plot instantly depicts how overbearing and rude the literary critic is, and this is obviously alluding to Yang Xiaoming.
The protagonist was about to start, but another friend who knew more gossip in the literary world said that the new writer actually had a backer, as if he was the direct descendant of a literary tycoon
So the protagonist immediately changed his attitude and said to his friends who had been scolded before that, as literary critics, we should also be mentally prepared to be scolded. Don't take the words of the hairy boy's impulse seriously. As a literary critic, we must be generous!
At this time, the protagonist learned from his friend who is familiar with all kinds of gossip that he made a mistake. The new writer has no background at all. It all depends on his own strength to get to this step
The protagonist sneered, strength? Under my criticism, no matter how powerful the new writer is, he will also be covered with thorns. He immediately contacted his former scolded friend and said that if he wanted to completely shoot the new writer, how can a critic dare to challenge the authority of our literary critics? Then prepare for punishment!
Just as the protagonist was preparing to do a big job, his friend said that he had just heard from a more reliable person that this new writer really has a big background. He is really the direct descendant of a literary tycoon, and his strength has been recognized by that literary tycoon. Maybe his debut will win a new literary award. So a friend asked the protagonist, do you still do it?
Under such circumstances, the protagonist changed color again. First, he angrily denounced that the current literary atmosphere was getting worse and worse, and then said in earnest that although he was a literary critic who was not afraid of authority and dared to fight against unhealthy tendencies, it was not necessary to do so for a newcomer who achieved success in the literary world through background, What strength must be blown out. Such a new writer will never achieve anything
Friends also agreed with the protagonist. When they were ready to stop, they heard from the Secretary of the literary giant that a new writer was definitely not the boss's direct descendant!
The protagonist quickly changed color again and immediately told his friends that he wanted to really let this new writer who did not know the greatness of heaven and earth accept the most unforgettable lesson. He asked his friends to play the protagonist first, and even praised the new writers for scolding some incompetent literary critics well. In the literary world, there should be more new writers with character, strength and authority, This literary world will become more and more prosperous!
Of course, the protagonist's friends have to ask why the protagonist fought back, but they found that the protagonist broke off his relationship directly with him. Then the protagonist, relying on this "targeted criticism", managed to get better and better in the literary world. Countless new writers with strength and no background were badly hit by the protagonist... There are also people in the literary world who praise the protagonist as a truly objective literary critic.
This is the end of Wu Di's version of the chameleon. This article not only depicts a domineering, wind driven and shameless protagonist, but also penetrates into some ugly phenomena in the literary world, which is thought-provoking!
The most important thing is that the style used by Wu Di this time is particularly concise and neat. The whole article is finished at one go and extremely smooth. There is no doubt that after she recently read yuan Longchuan's short stories, her style of writing this novel has been fine tuned. Realistic satires can't be written like fantasy novels.
Wu Di did not reveal any of his views in this novel, but only stated it with cold writing and concise and powerful language, focusing on the five attitude changes of the protagonist, which can be described as closely following the word "change" in the title "chameleon"
When others read this satirical novel, they can certainly feel the ugly phenomenon exposed in the novel, and then feel extremely disgusted with the protagonist. Can this scum even mix so well in the literary world? What's the matter with the world? This must be a system problem?
Then, according to some behaviors of the protagonist and his copying, we will find that NIMA is Yang Xiaoming who has been engaged in a pen battle with potential new writer Liang Liang on the Internet recently!
Wu Di is so cruel! Sure enough, a talented girl can't be offended. She certainly won't go shirtless like Liang Liang Liang, but she will hit each other hard with such an ironic short story!
Yang Xiaoming must be finished this time! Wu Di's article, as he said before, is a truly critical article, and it can also be used for pen combat. It's really sharp!
When Wu Di's chameleon was directly posted on her blog, the whole literary world was in an uproar!
