Recently, Mai Jia, vice chairman of the China Writers Association and winner of the Mao Dun Literature Award, said in an interview with Chinanews.com that Chinese literature should not care too much about the Nobel Prize in Literature.
He believes that for writers, writing is not about winning awards. The masses can be sought after, but creators can't target it. It is the responsibility of the writer to carry the reader in his heart, respond to the people's concerns, concerns and concerns, constantly dig out the true feelings, and express it in appropriate sentences.
It should be said that the Mai family hit the nail on the head to the head of the original intention of creating cultural products.
However, it is not uncommon to create for the sake of awards.
For example, in drama, some cultural units often put their energy on rushing awards, and after winning awards, a few performances are put in the "warehouse", and the masses "only hear its name, but do not see its appearance", and are jokingly called "make one in a few years, raise one for a few years". Some expert judges also reported that there are not many good works that follow the heart, and they can only find generals in the short, resulting in the decline of the gold content of some awards.
However, the reporter also noticed that in recent years, the explosion of literary and artistic works has become a major phenomenon. The main theme TV series "Crazy" and "County Party Committee Compound" are even more powerful fans and have received rave reviews.
Mai Jiajia believes that this is a very good phenomenon, and it is also a kind of guidance: articles are written in time. We need works that reflect real life and inspire people. The audience will not reject the main theme, but those works that are not grounded, rough, and rigorous.
The literary and artistic works needed today are not just put on the altar.
Some time ago, the dance "Ikari Buqiao" and the film and television drama "Menghualu" dominated the screen, both of which were sought after by young people because they fully displayed traditional culture in the form of literature and art that the audience liked to see.
Mai Jiajia believes that the main theme work is not a political class or geography class, but a literary scene, which should be entertaining and educational, and subtly spread ideas to the audience, which is the most intelligent education. Literature and art are to have fun with the people, not to entertain themselves.
In the reporter's view, the literary and artistic works we need are not only award-winning works, but also works that are applauded and applauded, and works that meet the people's yearning for a better life. (End)
