1992, Huayi Publishing House published a set of four-volume Collected Works of Wang Shuo, which created the atmosphere of collecting works by living writers. As soon as it went public, it caused national sales. At the request of Wang Shuo, the publishing house implemented a royalty payment system for this set of books, which was the first time that Chinese mainland implemented royalty payment after the Cultural Revolution. Wang Shuo's appeal objectively won the legitimate rights and interests of many writers. Xiao Gan once said, "Wang Shuo has untied China writers."

Social and cultural phenomena such as "desire", "desire fanaticism" and "good life is safe" are insurmountable collective memories in the cultural life of China people from 65438 to 0990. The drama has also been officially affirmed, winning the first prize of the sixth "Flying Award" and the ninth "Golden Eagle Award" long TV series.

199 1 year, the first TV sitcom "The Story of the Editorial Department" in Chinese mainland, which was mainly planned and written by Wang Shuo and directed by Jin Yan and Zhao Baogang, also caused a sensation. This TV series was later regarded by the national audience as the originator of China sitcom. No matter from ratings, social and cultural influence, or even star-making ability, so far there is no similar style of TV series to compare with it.

After 1992, Wang Shuo's novel creation began to be paralyzed. On the contrary, his name appears more and more in film and television works.

1994, the 8-episode TV series "Die of Addiction" adapted from Wang Shuo's original work also became a hot topic for the national audience that summer. However, the popularity of TV series seems to have a greater influence than the novel itself, and Wang He and Jison have become household names.

1995, Jiang Wen adapted Wang Shuo's novel "Fierce Animals" into a screenplay and made it into a film "Sunny Days" as a director, which became an instant hit. The success of this film turned Jiang Wen from a young actor into one of the most talented and internationally influential directors in Chinese mainland.

Personality assessment

In March 2007, Wang Shuo was interviewed by a reporter. He admitted that he had taken drugs because of mental illness in the past. In the interview, he also admitted that he had been a prostitute. He also believes that sex workers who work hard in the sex industry are "the best people, better than those little intellectuals, and their hearts are much cleaner and kinder." In addition, he also showed his American green card in the interview program of Phoenix TV.

Wang Shuo has a large readership in China. His novels were remake into TV series and movies in1990s. For example, TV series Addiction was adapted from the novel Addiction and Death, the movie Sunny Days was adapted from the novel Animals Are Fierce, the movie Looks Beautiful was adapted from the novel of the same name, and the movie Enemy Father and Son was adapted from I am Your Dad. He also participated in and led the scriptwriting and planning of many well-known film and television works with wide influence, including Peking Man in new york, Story of Editorial Department, Haima Dance Hall, I Love My Family, Stubborn Master, Party A and Party B, Sighing I Love You, Dreams May Come, If You Are the One 2: Don't Worry, etc. Up to now, he has created 22 novellas, 3 novels, about1600,000 words, and dozens of TV dramas.

Since 1968+0990 became famous in the early 1990s, the controversy about Wang Shuo and his works has never stopped. Some even called him a "literary critic", while others called his works "rogue literature". On the other hand, some people call Wang Shuo the representative of the "New Beijing School" (compared with the traditional Beijing School, Lao She and others).

1993, Wang Meng praised Wang Shuo's phenomenal position in the so-called orthodox literary criticism: "The' playing literature' between him and his partners is just a reaction to salvation literature." "He tore off some false lofty masks. Moreover, his language is lively and catchy, absolutely vernacular, and there is absolutely no stereotyped Party writing and bookishness. "

In a conversation with Wang Shuo, Han Shaogong said: The characters in Wang Shuo's novels are vivid, but too single. "Men, women and children are poor, poor to the end."

In the 1990s, he became a rogue writer with domineering words. He told me that I was a rogue, and who was I afraid of? He was as straight as a blow and tore off the so-called lofty veil. Then almost all the media participated in this vigorous debate. With the success of TV series adaptation such as Desire, Story of Editorial Department, Love You Without Consultation and Addiction, Wang Shuo became popular all over the country. As the frequency of publishing books decreased, Wang Shuo began to be somewhat silent. "It looks beautiful" and "Beauty gives me antiperspirant" seem to be a little tired by Jiang Lang. What really caught the media's attention again was his essay "Ignorance is Fearless", which listed Jin Yonghe as the "four major customs", thus causing a large-scale debate between Jin and Wang. Different from the past, the participation of the Internet has made this debate escalate rapidly and become heated. In 2007, Wang Shuo ranked sixth in the "2007 Second Rich List of Chinese Writers" with a royalty income of 5 million yuan.

There has been a new breakthrough in language, especially the opening "My Chitose Cold", which is concise and poetic, and endowed with tenses. There are some common-sense mistakes in the last Outline of Materialism about the universe and matter. According to Lu Jinbo, the publisher, My Chitose Cold is actually a collection of five works by Wang Shuo, including My Chitose Cold, The Diamond Sutra of Peking Dialect, The Outline of Materialism, Days in the Palace and the novel version of Dreams May Come. The book is about 6.5438+0.3 million words, which is published by Writers Publishing House. In the preface to Who am I written for the whole book, Wang Shuo claimed to prefer My Chitose Cold, originally written by Zhang Yuan, and emphasized that "this work makes Chinese nervous". My chitose cold is based on the altar sutra of the sixth ancestor. After the third edition, Wang Shuo said that this work is "the essence of all words. If American writing is called American writing, it is for senior intellectuals. "

(Some university professors commented that this book is somewhat similar to China Youth written by young writer Jia Fei, with similar spirit and lasting appeal, which belongs to the pinnacle), Rubber Man, Stubborn and other works. The names of these works began to be familiar to more and more people, and their fame gradually expanded from Beijing to the north, and then spread throughout Chinese mainland.

"Teasing" has become the biggest feature of Wang Shuo's language. And ridicule itself is a language form that is neither hard nor soft. This language form is regarded as a weapon rather than a tool by Wang Shuo. As an ordinary person, when I was a child, I was not respected but was constantly violated. Street hooligans, serious teachers and overbearing parents can all be aggressive. You can't fight back against this kind of infringement, but you must also take a self-protection measure. Wang Shuo's choice of ridicule can not only resolve the insult caused by the other party, but also safeguard his dignity. Wang Shuo has become a "rogue" in people's eyes. An instinctive resistance, a trick similar to children's pranks, has made adults angry.

Personality dispute

In public articles or occasions, Wang Shuo made fierce criticisms on many celebrities, including Qi Baishi, Yi Shu, Jin Yong, Zhang Yimou, Li Ao, Yu Dan, George W. Bush, Chen Shui-bian, Wu Zhi and Yu.

In the dialogue with Sun Ganlu, Wang Shuo criticized Jia: "I think Comrade Jia has matured too fast, and his interviews have surpassed his films. The more determined he is about what he wants, the more like the campus elite in the 1980 s. He is extremely correct but forced to stand with the people. "
