Chapter 466
A few hours after Jincheng Book Company's advertisement was published, the Writers Union issued a notice.

The content of the announcement is very simple, all of which are supplementary regulations on the selection rules of the trade union awards.

There are only four or five items listed, and the last item is a notice about the scope of the entries.

The notice requires major publishing houses to refrain from sending books of fantasy, fairy tales, time travel, games, etc. when submitting entries.

It seems that it is not painful or itchy, and not many people care about this supplementary regulation.

Books in the categories of fantasy, fairy tales, time travel, and games do not have the temperament of "pure literature" in terms of subject matter.

Huaxia Publishing House has long known the preferences of the award selection, and naturally took these aspects into consideration when delivering the works.

If it weren't for the cat's popularity, under normal circumstances his martial arts series would not be recommended to participate in the awards.

Such a well-known "hidden rule" was brought out to talk about things on the surface. Although it was not a formal notice, it already represented a certain attitude.

Moreover, the time node is also placed at the beginning of the promotion of "Journey to the West", so what it represents is self-evident!

In the eyes of those who don't know the inside story, this is tantamount to directly announcing the death penalty for "Journey to the West".

It shows the union award's attitude towards the new work of Meow Stars!

But in the eyes of those who know the inside story, it is another scene.

In this arena provoked by Jincheng Book Company, they deliberately did not submit the entire manuscript of "Journey to the West" to the Grand Prix.

Originally, it was a game of casual chess, so if the trade union prize issued a notice that it hadn't received the "Journey to the West" competition, it would be fine.

However, if you really do that, it will obviously weaken the momentum of the Writers Union, and it will be regarded as swallowing your anger.

But now people don't say that you submitted or not, and directly sent such a notice that you will not participate in the evaluation, which is tantamount to accepting the gauntlet in disguise!

It means that since you are going to fight in this arena, I will accept it.

The meaning of beating is already very obvious!
After this news was released, the circle of writers who had already become noisy suddenly fell silent, and they all silently watched the battle between dragons and tigers on both sides!
Now the cats and Jincheng Bookstore are regarded as the anti-dragons who are engulfed in public opinion, and the Writers Union is the fierce tiger that has been in the mountains and forests for decades!
Everyone knows that the release of "Journey to the West" is the time when the battle between dragon and tiger really divides life and death!
Whether Nilong fell safely, or the blood of the tiger splashed five steps, but the benevolent sees the benevolent and the wise sees the wisdom. Both those who are optimistic and those who are not optimistic choose to wait and see silently.

In this eerie calm.

The time finally came to the 28th.

The 21st, 28th, [-]st, and [-]th of each month are the days when the new book of the cats is released.

The 28th of this month is especially notable.

This morning, countless fans of meow stars went to the bookstore to buy "Journey to the West" immediately.

The fan base of Meow Stars is terrifying, and even because of the fixed time of publishing books every week, a large number of readers with regular buying habits have been cultivated.

When a group of people get used to doing a certain thing, the power of inertia is amazing.

Some people even joked that on a fixed new book release date, even if cats only sell a blank sheet of paper, there will probably be a long queue outside the bookstore, and there are definitely not a few people who pay!
With this kind of crazy group support, "Journey to the West", touted by Jincheng Bookstore, will naturally not be left out in the cold.

Countless people chose to queue up almost without thinking!

Some of them are purely habitual purchases, while others are silently using actions to stand up for the seemingly "overreaching" challenge of cats.

By buying "Journey to the West" to express my support for the cats, and at the same time express my dissatisfaction with the rules of the Writers Union Awards!
Quite a few judges of the Writers Guild Award were standing among the crowd of bookbuyers, wanting to see what kind of moth it was, worthy of the Meow Stars and Jincheng Bookstore betting on their future to overturn the table?

Looking at the team of hundreds of people in front of them, the judges who were still watching the jokes suddenly felt a little weak in their hearts.

The people of meow stars want it, even if "Journey to the West" is only a work of the same level as "Dragon and Ba Bu" and "The Deer and Ding Tale", can the Writers Union Award really earn face?

The shutter door of the bookstore slowly opened.

The flocking readers almost didn't look at other places, and went straight to the "cat counter"!
That's right!

Now major bookstores have erected so-called "meow counters".

From a temporary display stand for new novels to a fixed counter, just this detail reveals the unparalleled appeal and marketing ability of Cat Books!
When these readers got the physical book first, someone just flipped through it casually, and then suddenly widened their eyes...

What is written here?
After a hasty glance, is it the stems and branches of the earth, and the yin and yang, or are they all written in half-white classical Chinese?
What the hell?

This time, the mew star is not only writing about the ancient fairy tales, but even the writing style has begun to imitate the ancient times?

Want to be so perverted?
Turning down two pages, the article is filled with a lot of poems and songs, and even the dialogues are all in the form of ancient prose.

Classical Chinese scripts in ancient times all focused on storytelling and at the same time obsessively pursued artistry and culture.

The difficulty of choosing words and making sentences is not at the same level as that of today's vernacular novels.

If the current purely vernacular novels were shown to people in ancient times, no matter how classic they are, they would probably be cast aside.

Because such a straightforward expression, in the eyes of people at that time, it was synonymous with vulgarity, and it was basically unworthy of the stage.

Therefore, in ancient times, everyone who could write books and write books was everyone!

That is to say, after the founding of Huaxia, vernacular Chinese became popular, and writers became a relatively broad profession.

This also reflects the difficulty of writing classical Chinese from the side.

But meow star, a modern person, actually wrote a classical Chinese version of "Journey to the West"?
How confident do you have to be in your cultural level?
"Fuck!"

"It's actually classical Chinese and vernacular!"

"This is the standard way of writing the story books of the previous dynasty! Is the book of Meow Xingren really aligned with the classics?"

"I used to think that Jincheng Bookstore's promotional slogan kept calling this book a 'classic', which was a bit exaggerated. Now that I see the cat's coquettish operation, I believe it a little bit! This is not what modern people can do. work!"

"It's fine to write poems well, but to be able to write books in ancient Chinese, what level is this?!"

"I have never passed Chinese in high school, who can translate for the translator, what is written here???"

"Learning scum! Let me take a look... look, cough cough, what, waiter, do you have any reference books such as classical Chinese analysis! Give me a whole..."

"Who can tell me, what is the level of cats in ancient Chinese?"

"Understanding classical Chinese can kill a lot of people, let alone write! The level of cat people, I can only say that it is unfathomable!"

"Don't worry about the opening chapter. Looking back, there are a lot of poems and songs in it, and the dialogues and stories behind are relatively plain. There won't be too many dyslexia!"

"Indeed, this can be regarded as the writing method of vernacular scripts in classical Chinese, and it cannot be regarded as pure classical Chinese."

"However, it is really unbelievable that modern people can write such things!"

……

The communication group of "Meow Meow Book Club" has already expanded to tens of thousands of people, and this group is really Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon!
Various bigwigs in the literary world, even leading figures dived into it, and there are even many professors who study classical literature in universities.

Many people in this group know the filth between cats and the Writers Guild Award.

Before the release of "Journey to the West" today, there were awesome fans discussing:
"Jincheng Bookstore has gone too far this time, using a 'classic' to push the life of Meow Star to the cusp."

"Yeah, even if it surpasses all previous works, but a fairy tale is inherently weak, how dare they rely on the 'classic'?"

"I think this thing is a bit strange!"

"Strange?"

"I have dealt with Hao Jiansheng before, and he is quite calm. Besides, when cats write books, they are always unexpected. Maybe he finds a different way this time?"

"Xianxia are all things made by young people. Where can we find another way? It's not the right way at all."

"Let's read it first and then talk. My students bought the book back in a while."

"The publishing house also sent me some here, and it's probably about time to arrive."

"Then let's have a look first and then talk. If it doesn't work, let's mediate between the two sides. It's not easy to make the cat really unable to come down because of the bookstore's messing around."

"Okay, let's discuss it later."

"..."

After a while of discussion, the group fell silent.

Obviously, quite a few people have already obtained the first volume of "Journey to the West" from various channels, and have gone to read it.

"Journey to the West" is still in accordance with the convention of more than 20 characters this time, with exactly 33 chapters, and the last volume has 34 chapters.

More than 20 words seem to be very fast, and many people have already finished the first volume of "Journey to the West" by the end of the evening.

It's been a weird day online.

The joy of discussion before the release, and countless people shouted and shouted at the release.

But once the peak release period was over, they all fell silent.

Even the various media who have always liked jumping up and down and jumping around shut their mouths, and no one stretched their heads and yelled.

It is appropriate to say that everything is silent.

Sensitive people have noticed that a storm is quietly brewing due to the collision of old and new forces.

at last!

Someone was the first to break this silence!
The person who broke the silence first was Dong Jizhen, the vice president of the Blue Star Literature and Art Association!
Dong Jizhen and Gao Shuang are old acquaintances, and they also have a lot of connections with "meow star people"!

He was promoted from the position of the president of the Writers Union to the vice president of the Literature and Art Association.

Although he has ignored the matter of the Writers Union for many years, he is still a literati after all, and he cares most about the literary world.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have been a judge in Zhuanertai's poetry competition.

This time, he only spoke from the perspective of a reader, commenting on "Journey to the West" itself:
""Journey to the West" has a novel imagination, goes to the world, and is superb. It can be said that it has reached the pinnacle.

The characters of the main characters are also very distinct, and the readership is widest, suitable for all ages.

The spirit embodied is positive and uplifting, and it is a book that inspires people to persevere in struggle, never lose heart, and persevere to achieve their goals.

People who haven't read "Journey to the West" are just like they haven't read Liu Xi or Ba Yangqiu's masterpieces. This kind of person talks about novel theory, which is bold!

The book "Journey to the West" all talks about the essentials of sincerity and righteousness, and the learning of new perfection.

Or what is the book of "Journey to the West" written by cats?
In fact, it is a wonderful article, a wonderful article, and a classic! "

The word "classic" reappears!
This time it's not the people from Jincheng Bookstore boasting, but the approval from the authority!
Although Dong Jizhen did not participate in the judging of the Writers' Union Award, who dares to say that the former president of the Writers' Union is not authoritative?
When Dong Ji really spoke, he undoubtedly slapped many people hard on the face.

The Liu Xi and Ba Yangqiu he listed are the two great writers of Bluestar Huaxia. Calculated according to the time on earth, they are probably from the Ming Dynasty.

However, their works are called "classics", which are real masterpieces that have been accumulated for hundreds of years.

The status in China is comparable to the four great classics on Earth!
Comparing such people with cats is basically a unilateral recognition of the literary achievements of "Journey to the West"!

The subject of Xianxia, ​​which has been criticized by many people, has finally developed a wonderful work in the hands of cats!

Forcibly raised the existence at the bottom of the chain of contempt to the level of "classic"!

Dong Jizhen's words are like water drops accidentally falling into boiling oil.

The Internet, which had been quiet for a whole day, exploded in boiling!
"I thought I opened a fairy tale novel, but after reading it, I realized that what I opened was a classic! This feeling makes me scream!"

"From the time when Sun Wukong came back from his apprenticeship, the whole process was full of high energy and passion. The Monkey King was wearing colorful auspicious clouds with 72 transformations in his body, chasing the East China Sea, going to hell and making trouble in the heavenly palace, making friends with all kinds of demon kings. His body is like black iron and his eyes are golden. Seeing it makes my blood boil. Emotional!"

"I think this is the best work of cat people, the absolute pinnacle!"

"Seeing monkeys being suppressed for 500 years is really distressing, so when he jumped out, I jumped up too!"

"When will the next volume be released? Can't wait already!!!"

"The previous few rounds were indeed full of high energy! It was amazing!"

"Reading should not be superficial! This is not only cool, but also a deeper expression!"

"Even the monkey born from the fossils of Huaguoshan feels life, old age, sickness and death just like humans. He is fighting for the underworld and heaven, but he is fighting for the freedom of the future!"

"You only saw a part of it. This plot is not as simple as breaking into a freedom. This is clearly a summary of life!"

"When we were young, we also had this kind of recklessness. No matter how many somersaults, how many circles, how to build a body of iron and steel, we will eventually return to the long road of learning."

"What you said is so reasonable! But... can someone lend me a reference book for the translation of the text, thank you!"

"The cat's book writing skills are simply terrifying!"

"..."

this day.

A lawless cat, with his lawless stone monkey, overturned the yin and yang of the literary circle!
A golden cudgel stirs up the world.

The Great Sage Equaling Heaven crushed the Lingxiao Palace.

In the horror of countless people, an unprecedented storm kicked off.
