Chapter 379 Braving the disgrace of the world!

The release of the book "War and Peace" caused a stir in China. At the same time, it has gained a certain reputation even internationally. Especially in the international literary world, which pays more attention to literary trends, it has attracted much attention.

Japanese literary world.

"Have you all read Ye Luojun's book "War and Peace"?"

"Looked."

"International, war, humanitarian, and promotion of peace, these factors combined, this is the rhythm that is preparing to impact the Johnson Literary Award."

"At present, it seems that this is how it should be prepared."

"Haha, there really is no one available in China. Being targeted by the West, we can only let Ye Luo come out to carry the banner? Is there no one else?"

"The Chinese literary world is such a waste. It seems that only Ye Luo is worthy of being a literary master."

"Today's Chinese literary world would be a desert without Ye Luo."

"But, people just have Ye Luo. No matter how much you say, can it change this fact? In my opinion, Ye Luojun is one of the best writers in the current literary world! Not just in China, but in the whole world. in this world!"

"Well, although I don't like China, I agree with this statement."

Today's Japanese literary world is not less hostile to the Chinese literary world. However, since they failed to return last time, after seeing Ye Luo's strength, their personal attitude towards Ye Luo has undergone earth-shaking changes.

Ye Luo probably doesn't even know that he is now one of the most popular and influential writers in Japan. Even the entire country of Japan

The literary world has praised him to the same level as Akiyama Minoru.

You must know that Minoru Akiyama is a former winner of the Johnson Literature Award. He is known as a "living legend" in Japan and can be called the anchor of the Japanese literary world.

Last time, he personally led the team to visit China. As a result, he was given a slap in the face by Ye Luo and was completely defeated. Finally, he returned to Japan with translations of many of Ye Luo's works.

It was precisely because of this that Ye Luo became famous in Japan unknowingly.

However, this time, Akiyama Minoru is not very optimistic about Ye Luo. "His book "War and Peace" is very well written and has a high artistic content. However, it is still unrealistic to win the Johnson Literature Award. This Awards are really difficult for China. However, if you want to be nominated, it shouldn't be a big problem." He also knows how the Western literary world excludes and suppresses the Chinese side, but in his opinion, the West No matter how much the literary world wants to suppress Chinese literature, it won't dare to engage in shady activities so blatantly, right?

……

American literary world.

Some novelists are also discussing it.

"Paul, have you read that copy of War and Peace?"

"Huh? Why do you ask this question?"

"What do you mean? Has anyone else asked?"

"Well, you are the fifth person to ask me."

"Then it seems that this book is really well written, and everyone has read it."

"Yes, the depth of thought and writing in this book are both first-class. I don't think our country's contemporary literary circle can write such a work. The Russians are still very strong in literature. I think this year The Johnson Literary Award should be his."

"Um, Paul, I think you may have made a mistake."

"Huh? What's the matter?"

"The author of "War and Peace" is called Ye Luo. He is not a Russian, but a Chinese."

"What? Chinese? Isn't this book about Russian history? Why..."

"It has a Russian historical background, but the author is indeed an authentic Chinese. Moreover, he is a very famous novelist in China."

"Oh, my God! This book was actually written by a Chinese?"

Not only did he not believe it, there were too many American novelists who found it unbelievable.

"If that were the case, the book wouldn't win."

"Yes."

"Pity."

"No way, who told him to be Chinese?"

It was written by a Chinese, so no matter how good the writing is, he will never win the prize!

This is political correctness!

Of course, people don't care about this.

After "War and Peace" was announced, it was quickly discovered by readers, and many readers from all over the world began to help promote it voluntarily after reading it.

"Oh, my god! This "War and Peace" is the best book I have read in recent years. My friends, you must read it." A netizen from the United States shared.

"Yes, I also think this book "War and Peace" is very well written." Indian netizens rarely criticized others.

"I have already recommended it to my classmates."

"In our case, the book is sold out."

"So so many people are reading it? I thought only we Japanese liked his works. The author Ye Luo is a great one. He has written many wonderful books."

"War and Peace! You must read it!" A netizen from Central Asia burst into tears. "We have always been devastated by war. I urgently request that more copies be printed in Central Asia!"

"We don't have enough Russian books! I didn't buy any at all. Where have all the books gone?"

"The problem with the publishing house is probably that it is the first release of a foreign book and they don't dare to take the risk of printing more copies. Who would have thought that a novel written by a foreigner could be so popular? I guess the publisher is already stepping up printing."

"Wait a minute! Russia? Foreigner? This "War and Peace" was not written by you Russians?"

"Who said it was written by us Russians? Have you ever seen a Russian in Xingye?"

"The author is Chinese."

"Amazing!"

"I never thought there could be writers of this caliber in China."

"Maybe you don't know much about it, but China's literary level is actually very high."

Among readers, this book "War and Peace" has achieved extremely high popularity. The author Ye Luo also went international for the first time with this book and was known to readers in many countries.

On the fourth day, there were many related discussions on the Internet.

On the fifth day, the topic of "War and Peace" became very popular.

On the sixth day, the physical books sold out!

On the seventh day, "War and Peace" swept the global literary market.

A full week after its release, "War and Peace" became a global hit!

Basically in every country and region, they are all selling like crazy!

Not to mention Huaxia, one week's sales data directly refreshed many historical records.

The phone numbers of printing houses at home and abroad that cooperate with the Chinese Academy of Chinese Literature are all buzzing!

100 copies!

300 copies!

500 copies!

not enough!     Not enough at all!

Such horrific sales data directly alarmed major foreign media.

The New York Times published a front-page article: "War and Peace, from China, has won the top spot on the weekly bestseller list in North America!"

"Canada Daily": "'War and Peace' breaks bestseller sales record in North America!"

"British Literary Journal": "People in many places in Central Asia hold high "War and Peace" and call for an end to the war! Perhaps, this "War and Peace" will become a new symbol of anti-war for the Central Asian people!"

Australian media: "War and Peace creates a new level of fiction."

Agence France-Presse: "Breaking the highest sales record held by a French author! What is the magic of this book "War and Peace"?"

Many media outlets around the world rushed to report on it, all with the name "War and Peace".

Some media analyze the data, and some TV stations invite professional literary critics to analyze the specific content of this book.

In short, "War and Peace" set off a new wave internationally.

It has never been possible for a novel written by a Chinese to attract such high attention and discussion internationally!

……

At the same time, domestically.

There was a sound of joy throughout the academy.

Dean Sun Deyou said with excitement at the report meeting to the Literary and Literature Group, "Teacher Ye's book "War and Peace" has opened up a new world for the Chinese literary world! It will help Chinese cultural undertakings to go abroad and move forward. International has opened a new door!”

Even the Classical Literature Association, which had never supported Ye Luo's modern literary creation, everyone was smiling.

Chairman Li Wenzheng laughed loudly, "In this current situation, Teacher Ye can solve it in one book! He is indeed the leader of our Chinese literary world!"

Professor Liu Ying directly posted her congratulations on Weibo, "Congratulations to Teacher Ye for the global sales of her new book!"

The writers of the New Literature Association were both excited and frustrated.

Zhang Rumeng smiled and sighed: "We are also engaged in modern literature, why can Teacher Ye always come up with some ideas that we can't think of? How did he come up with the idea of ​​using the Russian historical background to create?"

Hao Zhijun patted him on the shoulder, "Don't worry, can you figure it out, Teacher Ye? Then won't you become a leader in the literary world?"

Chairman Shao Xinzhong analyzed seriously: "This is the difference between ordinary writers and Teacher Ye. When choosing topics for creation, everyone will inevitably be limited by existing thinking. However, this kind of problem does not exist for Teacher Ye at all. No. Whether it is classical literature or modern literature, from a creative perspective, Teacher Ye can always find the most suitable and most unexpected one. Maybe, this is genius."

Zhang Rumeng sighed, "Geniuses have genius ideas. However, how is Teacher Ye a genius? He is simply a fairy! Is Wenquxing coming to earth?"

"Haha, Wenquxing doesn't know Russian history."

"I have a little question, Teacher Ye, does this book "War and Peace" count as our Chinese literary work?"

Shao Xinzhong slapped the table and said with a sideways glance, "Why don't you count it? Teacher Ye wrote it himself, and even the translation was done by himself. Is there any more pure Ye literature than this? As long as it is Ye literature , all of them are the purest Chinese works!"

"This time, Teacher Ye's book "War and Peace" has caused such a big commotion internationally. I want to see what the Johnson Prize jury will do!"

"Judging from the terrifying statistics of Mr. Ye's book, let alone being nominated, I think it would not be an exaggeration to give him the Literature Award directly!"

"You definitely can't give it directly, so don't think about it. However, the whole world is paying attention to this book now, and they will never dare to make any small moves at this juncture!"

Not only do they think so, it can be said that the entire Chinese literary world currently thinks so!

A global hit!

Sold in many places!

This book has even become the best-selling book in major countries and regions around the world!

United States!

Russia!

U.K!

France!

Japan!

Central Asia!

These are all major cultural powers in the world, and all have produced world-class literary masters. Among these countries, the book "War and Peace" has achieved great success that cannot be ignored.

Rave reviews from readers!

The media rushed to report it!

Even some very well-known writers have publicly stated on their accounts that the artistic value of this book "War and Peace" is extremely high! Some literary figures even directly commented that this book is a treasure in the entire international literary world!

With such a huge influence, even if some conspirators in the West want to take advantage of this Johnson Literature Award selection to suppress Chinese literature, they must think carefully about it!

In fact, it does.

After the Chinese Academy of Literature submitted "War and Peace" to the Yu Anxun Literature Award jury, the entire jury was immediately dumbfounded.

"Oh Maiga! Is this their Chinese work?"

"This book is so popular right now. The teacher at my son's school asked parents to buy a copy for their children to read yesterday."

"It's hard to handle."

"There is really no way to reject this book, so let's just let him be selected."

"No! The death order from above will not allow anyone from China to be shortlisted this time!"

"But how can you reject such a book?"

"Yes, this book has sold like crazy all over the world. Readers all over the world recognized it, but our judges rejected it? Is this reasonable?"

“Do you want reasonableness, or do you want wages?”

"We must comply with the requirements above."

"Then what reason should be used? This book is not the ones they reported before. The reason must be sufficient."

"Sufficient? What kind of reason do you think is sufficient?"

"I think it's not without reason. This book comes from China and should represent Chinese culture, but it is based on Russian fabricated history, which is very inappropriate. Why should a Chinese book use Russian language? What about culture? Isn’t it Chinese culture? Or does this author named Ye Luo not recognize Chinese culture? Besides, there are already people from Russia who have been shortlisted this year. The authors from Russia write about Russian culture, but the Chinese ones Do you want to write about Russian culture at the same time? Isn’t this repetitive? A Johnson Literary Award only requires one family’s Russian culture!”

As soon as these words came out, the eyes of everyone in the entire judging panel suddenly lit up.

"Yup!"

“There are already works using Russian culture.”

"That's a really good reason."

"that's it."

"Send a reply to the Chinese side and say that this book does not conform to the theme of Chinese culture and will not pass the review."

"That makes sense."

……

No one could have imagined that War and Peace, a popular book all over the world, a literary work sought after by countless readers, would be rejected by the judges of the Johnson Literary Award!

Winning an award?

No need to think about it.

Didn’t even make the shortlist!
