Rebirth of Cultural System

  "Goodbye, Vivian" is the debut and breakout work of Hou Yuzi Annie Baobei. With this book, Hou Yuzi Annie Baobei became one of the most popular online literature authors in 1999. Her unconventional writing style was a magnificent and desolate shattering at the end of the century. This shattering was both gorgeous and bleak, wild and desperate. It profoundly revealed the superficiality and poverty of this era, as well as the extreme emptiness and loneliness of human spiritual beliefs in times of crisis.

  However, Anne's own literary thoughts and value orientation are another severe issue that we must pay attention to: Anne's gloomy and cold words are the dark and unbridled flowers of sin that bloom in the darkness, while interpreting the spiritual crisis at the end of the century, she also leads people's souls to fall and destruction.

  Annie Baobei's writing caused a sensation at the turn of the century, shocking the literary world and topping the bestseller lists in major bookstores. A wave of controversy and criticism flooded online forums and entertainment magazines, with some condemning her writing as poisonous: decadent, unbridled, sinking, and hopeless; while others praised it as sharp, beautiful, concise, and soul-stirring.

  Such words are absolutely rebellious in Wang Xing's eyes! Should be thoroughly banned and suppressed. Being able to enter the top three with his approval is probably still due to a hint of sympathy in his heart.

  The same is true of "Triple Door". Also as Han Han's debut and masterpiece. "Triple Door" mainly reflects the author's dissatisfaction and criticism of the current domestic education system. Through "Triple Door", Han Han, from the perspective of young Lin Yushuang, reveals to readers a life similar to that of a high school student, presenting various contradictions and problems in parent-child relationships, teacher-student relationships, and peer relationships, reflecting students' thinking, confusion, and dreams.

  Han Han thinks, gets excited, gets angry, resists and changes in his own way. Through these sharp, piercing and even biting languages, readers can clearly feel the flash of a genius boy's spirit. Of course, this work also reflects many bad phenomena in contemporary Chinese society. Corruption among officials, family conflicts, students' pressure from all sides, the drawbacks of modern education, the impact of changes in traditional concepts on the new generation, economic growth and its influence.

  From Wang Xing's perspective, this work is simply a twin of Annie Baobei's "Farewell to Vienna"! It's only natural that he would be resistant to it. In fact, the shock given to Wang Xing by this competition is the greatest. Li Bing and Pang Zong are just considering problems from a business perspective, they won't think too much about other things.

  But Wang Xing is different, as a traditional scholar, years of ideological education have made his thinking somewhat rigid. The domestic cultural control has always been the most conservative, and his thinking is still stuck in the stage of loudly singing praises. If he hadn't participated in this competition, it would be hard for him to imagine that there are so many rebellious and deviant thoughts among young people today.

  In fact, even the book he proposed, "Lost in the Internet and Reality Love", is just a mediocre work. Compared to the other two books' decadent ideas, this book that simply describes online romance seems nothing special to him.

  "Love Lost Between the Internet and Reality" is a book written by Li Xunhuan, also depicting online romance. It was published immediately after "The First Intimate Contact", and even with the comparison to "The First", it cannot overshadow his brilliance. Although both books describe online romance, Li Xunhuan clearly has his own style.

  Unexpectedly, Su Jian brought out "The First Time" ahead of schedule, and Li Xunhuan's "Lost Love in the Internet and Reality" also followed closely. However, compared to this book, Su Jian was more interested in Li Xunhuan himself. Li Xunhuan's original name is Lu Jinbao. Unlike Anni Baobei and Han Han's path as writers, Lu Jinbao's road has a legendary color.

  In January 2000, he was invited by "Under the Banyan Tree" to serve as a judge for the original online literature competition. In September of the same year, he officially joined "Under the Banyan Tree" and served as the Content Director, later becoming the Strategic Development Director, marking his transition from an online writer to a cultural manager.

  In 2002, Beitaismann acquired "Under the Banyan Tree", and with the departure of its founder Zhu Weihua, Lu Jinbo issued a manifesto titled "Farewell to Writing" and bid farewell to writing, officially becoming a professional cultural manager. He also served as the general manager of the "Under the Banyan Tree" website and publishing culture company.

  In 2006, as the general manager of Chuxing who "created" Guo Ni Plan, Lu Jinbo successfully created the "100 million yuan girl" Guo Ni and set a record for sales that year. In his early years, he was known along with Xing Yu Sen and Ning Cai Shen as the "three leading figures" in domestic online literature.

  Wang Xing chose "Love Lost Between the Internet and Reality" out of helplessness, while Li Bing and Pang Zong had relatively simpler choices. The word count for "Three-Body Problem" is longer, making it more suitable for print publication in reality. As for "Farewell, Vi An", since it's just a single chapter, it's more suitable for online dissemination, which coincidentally fits the professional aspects of both parties, so this choice isn't surprising.

  Looking at the three-part work in his hand, Su Jing repeatedly deliberated. From a commercial perspective, "Three-Body" is undoubtedly the most outstanding. No one would have thought that this 17-year-old boy's work would have such a powerful influence. Neither Wang Xing nor Li Bing or even Fat General could have predicted the enthusiasm of many young people for him!

  The sequel, "Three-Body Problem II: The Dark Forest", was released in 2000 and sold out immediately. It has been published in Japan, Taiwan, Hong Kong, etc., with sales exceeding 2 million! Although it's two years ahead of schedule now, Liu Cixin believes there won't be too much difference.

  As for "Farewell to Vienna", it is a collection of works in later generations. It is a collection of more than a dozen works by Anni Baobei. If it were published as a collection, Su Jin believes that it would be comparable to "Three-Door"! However, now there is only one chapter, which was the core of the collection, but if it were published separately, the word count is still insufficient.

  Now its only function is to post online and attract attention. Of course, it can also be submitted to literary magazines to earn a part of the manuscript fee!

  As for the reputation of "Lost in the Net and Reality Love" in later generations, it should be the lowest. Although there is some guarantee in terms of quality. But "The First Time" is a gem before, and it still has some impact. It can only be said that it is a good book, but not a classic.

  After analyzing the pros and cons of the three works, Su Jin gradually made a decision.
