Chapter 333 Wenquxing Award!

Just when the entire Internet was buzzing about Ye Luo's new book and the literary world was paying attention, the official Weibo account suddenly issued an announcement: "After the proposal of the cultural revitalization group and discussions with relevant experts from the Chinese Academy of Arts and Sciences, it was decided to officially start on January 2023, 1. Related selection work for the 'Wenquxing Award'."

Below is a document, "Notice on the Selection of the No. 20 [-]th 'Literary Music Star Award'".This is a serious red-headed document, published by the Wen Zhen Group, and the content is full of useful information.

Including participation criteria, selection rules, etc., it can be said that the regulations are quite detailed.

Of course, these things are all established. After all, the "Wenquxing Award" is the award with the longest history in the Chinese literary world.The relevant awards work this time is exactly the same as in previous years.

Moreover, as the most valuable literary award in the Chinese literary world, the selection scope of the Wenquxing Award is quite broad.As long as the book you write is a literary book and first published in China, there are no restrictions on the nationality of the author, the genre, or the subject matter of the book.

It is even said that even authors of martial arts novels and online novels that have been excluded by the mainstream literary world are eligible to participate in the review.

Of course, according to the requirements of relevant laws and regulations, authors who have illegal and criminal records, or have been punished by the literary promotion group or the academy of literature, are not allowed to participate in the selection.

As for the selection criteria and process, the "Wenquxing Award" has always adopted a "dual-track selection method", that is, while readers and the public vote, relevant experts will conduct professional reviews based on book quality, influence, sales, etc.

The combination of the two will eventually select a series of winning works for the "Wenquxing Award".

Reaction to this news was huge.

Everyone in the Ancient Literature Association received the notice after the meeting, before they could leave.

"Starlight Award selection has started?"

"Why so early this year?"

"It doesn't make sense! It's not the New Year yet..."

"This is a big deal!"

Everyone was talking, and the voices were obviously much louder than before.

Feng Jiahua, Liu Ying and others all looked surprised.

They are used to calling the "Wenquxing Award" the "Starlight Award". This award has a very long history and was passed down from the Republic of China.

In the last century, when the Wen Zhen Group was established, the qualification to host this award was placed directly under the Wen Zhen Group.

It can be said that the Starlight Award not only has a long history, but is also the highest-level literary award in the entire Chinese literary world!

Chairman Li Wenzheng and others all attach great importance to this.

"It is held every four years. Although the Chinese New Year is not yet celebrated, the Gregorian calendar has indeed reached the new year. Originally, there was no definite selection month for this award. This year, it is held in January, so it makes sense. "Chairman Li Wenzheng said.

Everyone nodded at this explanation.

But Chairman Li Wenzheng added: "However, I always feel that the Starlight Award may have something to do with Teacher Ye's new book."

Everyone was stunned for a moment, but then they thought about it and found it very reasonable.

Why was this award not announced earlier or later, but only after Teacher Ye announced that he was about to release a new book?

Besides, there was no news at all before.

"Don't tell me, maybe the Wen Zhen team also wants to give Teacher Ye an honor."

"Yeah, it's really possible."

"How many masterpieces has Mr. Ye written since his debut? But he doesn't seem to have any honors in the literary world, right?"

"I have won awards as a host, but I haven't received any awards from the literary world. It's really unjustifiable."

"Nine times out of ten, I want to take advantage of Teacher Ye's new book to give Teacher Ye a generous gift."

"Hey, this is what he deserves. How much contribution has Mr. Ye made to the Chinese literary world? Not to mention just winning the Starlight Award, even giving him all three major awards in the literary world, I don't have a single complaint."

"There is no suspense about this year's Starlight Award."

"Yes."

The conference room was lively and everyone had smiles on their faces.

Although the atmosphere was quite solemn when we were discussing "The Legend of Poetry and Immortals of the Tang Dynasty" just now, everyone had various thoughts in their minds.But at this moment, when it comes to the topic of the Starlight Award, everyone's opinions are quite unified.

This award should be given to Ye Luo!

Not only the people from the Classical Literature Association think so, but also the people from the New Literature Association think the same way.

Whether it was Zhang Rumeng and Hao Zhijun who supported Ye Luo, or Yang Huan and others who had strong opinions on Ye Luo, their views at this time were rare.

"I think Teacher Ye Luo won this award because of the public's expectation." Zhang Rumeng said calmly, "Whether it is the support rate of the public or the opinions of the expert jury, there will probably be no surprise."

Hao Zhijun also nodded, "In the past two years, who can catch up with Teacher Ye's limelight?"

Old Professor Yang Huan had no expression on his face, "It must be no accident that he won this award. But, which book of his won this award?"

As soon as these words came out, the people of the New Literature Association were stunned for a moment.

They really didn't think about this problem just now, they were just sighing at Ye Luo's dominance in the literary world in the past two years.

The "Wenquxing Award" is the highest-level literary award in the Chinese literary world. In fact, the winner is not the author himself, but the author's works.

In other words, it is certain that Ye Luo will win the award, but which of his books will win?

Is it the "Ye Tang Series"?
Or "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms"?
Or, is it "The Age of Awakening" or "The Biography of Mr. Lu Xun"?
Although not only one book wins the Starlight Award in each edition, the Gold Award, which represents the highest honor, only has one book!
Zhang Rumeng knocked on the table, leaned back, and said expressionlessly, "Although the selection rules for the Starlight Award have clear standards, I 100% support Teacher Ye's award." Here, he paused deliberately, glanced at everyone present, and saw that they all looked like they agreed, before continuing, "However, I think his books are the ones with the widest influence and the strongest practical significance. , and it has to be "The Biography of Mr. Lu Xun". I think our New Literature Association must have its own attitude and actions."

The New Literature Association is not Zhang Rumeng’s one-word hall.Therefore, many times, you have to test carefully.

But fortunately, on the topic of "The Biography of Mr. Lu Xun", all of them have the same opinion.

Regardless of whether it is the modern poetry school of Hao Zhijun and others, or the academic school of Professor Yang Huan, they all chose to support Zhang Rumeng on this issue!

Because they have no other choice at all!

If Ye Luo had a copy of "Biographies of Poets of the Republic of China", then Hao Zhijun would probably start fighting with Zhang Rumeng by now!

But unfortunately, among Ye Luo's many books, they could only choose this "The Biography of Mr. Lu Xun".

Chairman Shao Xinzhong nodded slowly, but he was not very optimistic about this matter, "Our modern literature reader base is very broad, but since the appearance of the Ye Tang series, classical literature has continued to recover, and I am afraid it is no longer something we can cheer for. That’s the final word.”

Moreover, he still has another worry in his heart, which is Ye Luo's new book "The Legend of Poetry and Immortals of the Tang Dynasty".The timing of the release of the Starlight Awards was such a coincidence that he wouldn't believe it if it wasn't intentional.Therefore, Shao Xinzhong feels that it is unrealistic to win the gold medal with "The Biography of Mr. Lu Xun".However, he did not say this. He just said: "Of course, we still have to fight for what should be fought. However, we must be prepared for both. If the momentum is not right, then it is acceptable to win the silver medal."

Everyone was silent, only Zhang Rumeng said with great momentum: "We must compete for the gold medal." He writes modern novels, although their modern novels were previously beaten to the ground by Ye Luo's "Romance of the Three Kingdoms".But this did not prevent him from supporting "The Biography of Mr. Lu Xun". On the contrary, it was precisely because of the existence of "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" that he spared no effort to support "The Biography of Mr. Lu Xun".If "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" wins the gold medal, not to mention modern literature, at least their modern novels will definitely be hit hard.

Zhang Rumeng's bottom line is that "The Biography of Mr. Lu Xun" must win the award!And it can't be worse than "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms"!

After everyone dispersed, Chairman Shao Xinzhong sighed and murmured to himself, "It's been such an eventful year. Before Ye Luo's new book was released, another Starlight Award came..." He couldn't help but feel a headache.

……

At the same time, online comments have exploded.

"Ah? The Starlight Awards are about to be judged?"

"Isn't this too sudden? I thought it would have to wait until the second half of the year."

"It's not the New Year yet."

"I just want to start the selection. When the results come out, it will definitely be next year."

"Haha, there is no need to judge this year's Starlight Award, right? As long as there is no shady case, the winner must be Teacher Ye."

"Why don't you need to judge? There are three awards in the Starlight Award: gold, silver, and bronze. Teacher Ye can't win them all, right?"

"Is there a limit to the number of times the Starlight Award can be won? If I remember correctly, there shouldn't be. There's no rule that one person can't win multiple times, right? Then it's really possible for Teacher Ye to win it all by himself."

"There's nothing wrong with what you said."

"This is Teacher Ye's first award evaluation since his debut. All the books he wrote before can be included in the evaluation."

"There are currently four books in the Ye Tang series alone, not counting the new book that will be released soon. If Teacher Ye's new book can catch up, it will be five. Plus "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and " "The Biography of Mr. Lu Xun", that's seven books. The Starlight Gold Award is one, the Silver Award is two, and the Bronze Award is three. There are only six books in total. Just these seven books are not enough. Moreover, I haven't Counting "The Age of Awakening" and "Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio"!"

"Outrageous!"

"But to be honest, except for Teacher Ye's books, other people's books have been rated, so will they have the nerve to accept the award?"

"No matter which book Teacher Ye is in, it will definitely be a gold medal. For other people's books, let me say something disrespectful, even if it is Mr. Xu's "Three Households", can it be compared with these books by Teacher Ye? "

"If Mr. Ye can only select one book, then others will be embarrassed to win the other awards."

Although netizens are exaggerating, the actual situation is indeed like this.

There are so many books in Ye Luo, and almost every one of them is the best among the best.

Who has the nerve to win an award alongside his books?

Oh, one of Ye Luo's books won an award, but the other books that didn't win were better written than the remaining award-winning works. How can this be considered an award?Isn't this just a slap in the face?

In fact, there is no need for netizens to say it. These writers in the literary world have already seen through it themselves.This time for the "Wenquxing Award", as long as anyone dares to nominate me, I will immediately fight with him!

This award this year has nothing to do with them!
Everyone just needs to eat the melon honestly.

Not to mention, there are really big melons!
The day after the Weibo official released this notice, the New Literature Association officially released a message on its major social accounts.

The general meaning is to talk about how excellent "The Biography of Mr. Lu Xun" is, "...Mr. Lu Xun, as a literary giant of the generation described by Teacher Ye, his image represents the image of thousands of literati who strive for the country! He is the representative of the Chinese nation The backbone of the literati! It is the best interpretation of the national spirit of courage to struggle! It is the most powerful interpretation of the Chinese national culture!"

Although the selection activities for the Starlight Awards have not yet begun, the New Literature Association has already begun to exert its efforts.

This approach of theirs can be seen clearly by those with a discerning eye.

For the Starlight Award, they have already started to campaign for "The Biography of Mr. Lu Xun"!
In the selection process, mass voting plays a large role.

Netizens also watched the excitement and did not consider it a big deal, and started an ancient literature association in the comment area.

“What a wonderful trick played by the New Literature Association!”

“You really don’t treat @古文社 as a human being.”

"Hahaha, I'm laughing so hard. @古文guild, your good brother is going to steal the crystal."

"The New Literature Association really vividly interprets the sentence "If you can't beat them, just add this sentence. I think back on the past, they were the most vicious in spraying Ye Luo. Alas, I still like their unruly and unruly look before."

"But pull them down, they have already surrendered."

"@古文社, what do you say?"

"I would like to know which of Teacher Ye's works does the Classical Literature Association hope to win the gold medal?"

"Hey, indeed."

"That's a good question."

Not only netizens are enjoying it, but also many writers in the literary world are talking about it.

Speaking of which, these writers are all parties to this incident.After all, there are basically two major camps in the current Chinese literary world.

You are either a member of the New Literature Association or a member of the Ancient Literature Association.In addition, although there are a large number of authors of martial arts and Internet articles, they have no say at all and are basically ignored.

However, most authors have a fun-loving mentality.After all, the Ancient Chinese Literature Association and the New Literature Society are both unattainable existences for ordinary authors.

At this time, a group of leaders of the Classical Literature Association, which was attracting much attention, had disgusting expressions as if they had eaten flies.

They really didn't expect that the New Literature Association would do such a trick to them.

Recommend "The Biography of Mr. Lu Xun"?
Want this book to win a gold medal?
I can go to your second uncle!
"Are Shao Xinzhong and the others thinking about eating shit?" Feng Jiahua was furious, slapping the table and saying, ""The Biography of Mr. Lu Xun"? How dare they say it? This book will never get the chance to write Mr. Ye's novels. ah!"

Professor Liu Yong was equally angry, "That's right! With so many books in the Ye Tang series, it's Lu Xun's turn to win the gold medal? Humph, the New Literature Association is really ambitious!"

Feng Jiahua, who was originally furious, frowned slightly after hearing Professor Liu Ying's words. After saying a few words along the way, he said: "...it is, it is not Lu Xun's turn. Mr. Ye's novels Among them, the artistic value of "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is obvious to all!" He glanced at everyone and asked: "I say that the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is the best novel written by Teacher Ye. Everyone should have no objections, right? "

Professor Liu Ying frowned, "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms?"

Feng Jiahua also frowned and looked at Liu Ying without giving in. "What's wrong? Professor Liu has a different opinion?" He and Liu Ying had a good personal relationship. It was Liu Ying who called him last time and asked him to go of Chengde.

However, now is not the time to talk about personal relationships.
