189 A Pond of Spring Water

Due to the provisions of Japan's "Broadcasting Law" and the "worship of typeface" in Japanese society, the reading programs of Japan's major wireless TV stations and radio stations do not belong to a particularly unpopular category. At the same time, some artists or idols, in order to enhance their status,

Labeled as "cultural people" or "artists", they are particularly willing to accept such reading-related cultural programs at low prices or even for free. For example, Goro Inagaki, a member of SMAP, has always had a reading program, although the broadcast time is

It is a late-night show, but this type of program usually does not have too much pressure on ratings, so it is very easy for the host to host it.

Because Lin Junxiu was busy with his own affairs after submitting the manuscript, and could hardly spare time to attend the book signing, so Literary Spring and Autumn Publishing House had to change its publicity method. Fortunately, Lin Junxiu is now well-known in the Japanese literary world.

He can be regarded as one of the best-selling authors in Japan, so as long as posters and other advertising resources are pushed in place, Lin Junxiu's books will not worry about sales.

It’s just that this time it’s rare for Lin Junxiu to write novels with serious themes, so Literary Spring and Autumn Publishing House wants to use this book to improve Lin Junxiu’s status in the literary world. After all, Lin Junxiu is now more often regarded as a best-selling novel writer, belonging to

The group of popular novel writers. Compared with the group of serious novel writers who can be called "teachers", Lin Junxiu's grade is a bit unsatisfactory. This time, although Lin Junxiu has returned to the campus themes he was good at in the "4TEEN" era

It is a novel, but the writing style of this novel is relatively dark and it belongs to the subject of critical realism, which is a direction favored by many book reviewers.

The first person to advocate for Lin Junxiu was of course the magazine "Literary Spring and Autumn". After all, it was a novel published by his own publisher, so of course he had to praise it appropriately. The first critic to write a review for Lin Junxiu was Oyama Takashi, a lecturer at the Faculty of Letters at the University of Tokyo.

Similar to Lin Junxiu's resume, Oyama Takashi is also the winner of the "Naoki Thirty-five Prize" and can be regarded as the author of the "Literary Spring and Autumn Series".

"If you just read it once, maybe this novel can only be classified as a slightly bloody campus love triangle novel. But after reading it carefully, you find that under this campus love novel, we have faced

Cruel and cruel youth." Takashi Oyama wrote in a book review, "If high school students across Japan were allowed to grade their high school careers anonymously, I think the passing grade might not even be half.

Although many 'adults' will rebuke these children as 'chuunibyou', what is the reality? Do adults really not know about the things that happen in the corners of the campus? Those things happen almost every moment.

Do adults turn a blind eye to bullying incidents? Or do adults think this is the 'cruel youth'?

Going back to "Midnight Flight" written by Lin Junxiu, we know from the title that this is a story that will happen at night. When there is no light, sin will be more unscrupulous in the darkness. Campus is a condensed society

, the evil we do in society will bloom hundreds of times on campus. As a delinquent boy, Shixiong knows not to let Ze come into contact with the dark side of reality, but as a teacher and educator, Teacher Zhenyan gradually

These two children were driven into the darkest abyss.

When Jun finally chose to stab Masahiko to death, I was sad. I was not sad for Masahiko, but sad for Jun. He betrayed his friends out of jealousy, but at the same time he paid such a heavy price to atone for his sins from his friends.

The ending of the novel is so ironic. As the creator of the entire tragedy, Mr. Masahiko actually received extremely high praise from the Japanese educational circles and society after his death, and even considered him to be the 'great teacher' of our time.

But what about the three children? Jun, who originally had a bright future, is behind bars; Zhixiong, who originally struggled to leave the darkness, died in a fight in the prison; Ze, who was originally a good boy, was expelled from the family and wandered around bars.

We sell our bodies in time. On the one hand, we praise evil, and on the other hand, we trample on good. Midnight is the darkest hour, and each of us seems to be a helpless soul flying at this time."

After Oyama Takashi, various book reviews were published in newspapers and magazines one after another. Generally speaking, most book reviewers believe that "Midnight Flight" is a novel worth reading, and it can also be regarded as Lin Junxiu's best work in recent times.

works. The praise for "Midnight Flight" is divided into two directions. One direction is to praise Lin Junxiu for tearing off the last fig leaf of Japanese society, and to direct criticism at the country known as the "pure land of the world".

Campus; on the other hand, I marveled at Lin Junxiu's choice of words and sentences. Lin Junxiu used extremely beautiful words to describe those "dark" and "ugly" things, which made these things even more disgusting.

Lin Junxiu's writing style that pursues rhetorical beauty has been loved by many book critics and writers. You must know that "Danmei", which was popular in Jinjiang, did not originally tell the story of two men, but refers to the "aestheticism" genre.

Literature. The so-called "Danmei" should mean "indulging in beauty." However, later this kind of danbi novels went astray in Japan, and finally had nothing to do with aestheticism, and then became the current "male" style.

"Add a Man" novel. However, although aestheticism has gone astray, the school of Japanese literary circles that pursues aestheticism is still there, and Lin Junxiu has hit their love. There are not many writers in this school, but most of them are

He is a veteran. With this group of seniors shouting and cheering, the style of the novel "Midnight Flight" has been raised higher and higher by everyone.

Unlike in the past, book reviewers were mostly concentrated in newspapers and magazines. With the rise of blogs, more and more book reviewers have begun to publish their book reviews on the Internet. These book reviewers are often a group of book reviewers who are relatively unsuccessful in reality.

Their book reviews are rarely published by newspapers and periodicals, and the emergence of blogs allows them to find another outlet. Unlike newspapers and periodicals, the anonymity of blogs makes many book reviewers' comments more pungent and more relevant to the tastes of young people.

As a result, this group of book reviewers has gradually become a trend. Lin Junxiu's "Midnight Flight" is undoubtedly a hot topic for this group of online book reviewers. However, what is different from the book reviews of peaceful media is that online book reviews focus on the key points of their reviews.

The description of school bullying in "Midnight Flight".

In Japan, school bullying is something that almost everyone knows but everyone pretends not to know. And many things about school bullying often involve the sports clubs in the school. It can be said that many school sports clubs are almost

It is about to become a place for this school to harbor evil and evil practices. Due to the inherent shortcomings of Japan's modern education system, the school's management of school sports clubs is almost out of control, and the hierarchical concept of superiority and inferiority is almost a golden rule in sports clubs. Some seniors can

It is not unusual to instruct the juniors to do things, clean shoes and wash clothes, and it is not unusual for the juniors to spend money to buy food and drink. Even if the seniors feel unhappy, it is normal to give the juniors a slap in the face. If the juniors have good grades

That's great. Not only can the seniors keep the juniors from getting ahead, but they can even cut off the limbs of the juniors and completely destroy them. This is not a rare case.

Not to mention the 2000s, the media in Japan began to expose incidents of bullying in school sports clubs in the 1970s. In addition to ordinary humiliation, there were even sexual bullying of juniors by seniors. There were even exposures in Japan

There was a case in a high school baseball club where the seniors gang-raped their juniors. The final punishment was that the school's baseball club was disbanded and the school was banned from participating in baseball games for one year. In the end, the public opinion turned against the victim.

They are dissatisfied and believe that the victims did not consider the honor of the baseball club and the school, which has brought stigma to the club and the school. Some people think that this is not bullying, but the "care" of the seniors for the juniors. The reason is that anyway, it will not

Pregnant, and everyone is still a child.

Under many book reviewers' articles, many anonymous readers wrote about school bullying incidents they had seen or heard about. Soon this behavior exceeded the scope of blogs and began to become a hot topic of discussion on forums such as 5ch and Yahoo Japan.

.Although the print media looked down upon and even despised the online media at this time, there were always a few tabloids that would dig up news from the online media. As a result, the discussion boom on the Internet was directed to the print media by these tabloids. Gradually,

Major newspapers and national television stations have all become involved. The Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology, which had been pretending not to know anything about it, had to come forward and say that it would investigate the school bullying cases that broke out in various schools.

Satire, thinking that the facts are too exaggerated.

As a result, after the comments of the spokesperson of the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology were made public on the Internet, they immediately attracted ridicule from a group of netizens, who believed that the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology was simply "picking on the weak". "Midnight Flight" is obviously a novel, and novels can be based on reality.

It was made up, even to the point of being completely fictitious. As a result, the Ministry of Education, the Ministry of Education, the highest authority in charge of culture and education, did not know the definition of a novel, and then criticized the author of the novel for meddling in other people's business. Could it be that the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology intends to interfere with "freedom of speech"?

As soon as these words came out, they immediately aroused unanimous opposition from the Japanese cultural circles. The spokesperson who spoke carelessly was immediately kicked out by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology and became a scapegoat. He announced his resignation after taking the blame. The Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology also repeatedly stated that they had no intention of interfering with cultural freedom.

He also expressed his apology to Lin Junxiu. However, in addition to bringing about the hot sales of "Midnight Flight", these controversies also aroused many people's curiosity about the movie of the same name directed by Lin Junxiu. It is just that these external disturbances have no impact on the filming of the movie.

For Lin Junxiu, it was just a splash of spring water. Due to limited time, Lin Junxiu and the crew were stationed directly at the filming base.

"The current shooting progress can still catch up with the Venice Film Festival." Koishi Takaki said to Lin Junxiu.

"Actually, the current progress can only ensure that the rough cut will be completed before the film festival selection committee arrives." Lin Junxiu said with a headache.

According to Lin Junxiu's idea, it is best for this film to go to the Berlin Film Festival, because the Berlin Film Festival has a soft spot for so-called socially critical films. The Venice Film Festival often values ​​​​the director's shooting concept and the film's performance.

In terms of concepts and techniques, what Lin Junxiu can come up with in this movie is nothing more than the mixed use of filters and handheld cameras. As a result, the picture of the movie has a psychedelic beauty, and at the same time, the movie has a kind of media.

Due to the illusion of feature films and documentaries. This mixed shooting method is a bit tricky and cannot ensure the appreciation of the jury.

"If that doesn't work, let's take turns participating in each film festival." Koishi Takaki suggested.

In fact, there are directors in the film industry who basically make films for major film festivals. After the film is shot, they use the food and lodging expenses provided by the major film festivals to go to on-site screenings. If they can win awards, it is best, but if they cannot win awards, they just hope.
