This host is too professional

Chapter 380 Isn’t this good? Then get another one!

Ye Luo didn't know how high the literary status of the book "War and Peace" was in the history of the earth.

People in the liberal arts academy don’t know either.

However, everyone is not blind.

As top brass in the literary world, they have their own vision and can discern the value of this book.

In fact, the people over at the Johnson Literary Award also knew it. However, they still rejected the application from the School of Liberal Arts.

"War and Peace" does not conform to the Chinese literary style, does not belong to the category of Chinese literature, and will not be accepted...

For such a reply, everyone in the Academy was furious!

"Doesn't it belong to the category of Chinese literature? What the hell are you talking about?" Someone from the School of Liberal Arts slammed the table, "The book written by Teacher Ye does not belong to the category of Chinese literature? What is a book written by Chinese people but not Chinese literature?" ?”

Someone next to me said solemnly, "This is the excuse they made!"

"Even if you are looking for an excuse, you can't make such a bad excuse, right?" Even Zhang Rumeng said angrily: "They don't want any face at all? How do you say such a bad excuse?"

"It seems that the people in the West are determined. No matter how good the book is, they just won't let us enter this award."

"This is no longer just a matter of the literary world, Teacher Ye also tried his best."

"Forget it, let them do it. They can come up with a list of candidates with their eyes open when it comes to "War and Peace," so what else is there to say?"

"Let me tell you, let's not participate in this damn Johnson Literary Award!"

"That's right, for an award judged by foreigners, why should we put our hot faces on cold butts?"

"That's what I say, but don't we have to take into account the international impact now? The fact is that the Johnson Literary Award is the most valuable award in the entire international literary world. The right to speak now lies with them. We must really go abroad. , No matter how difficult this road is, we must hold our nose and walk on it."

"But now they have blocked the road for you! How do you go?"

There were endless quarrels in the liberal arts academy. After this incident, everyone had different ideas. Some ill-tempered writers really don't want to be insulted by this, and suggest that they in the Chinese literary world simply withdraw from the Johnson Prize. But some calmer people advocate focusing on the overall situation and then think of other solutions. Even the disgraceful method of bribing the judges was mentioned.

But despite all the quarreling, no good solution was finally found.

However, what no one expected was that before the Chinese literary world responded, this incident caused a huge sensation in the international literary world!

When the Johnson Literary Award jury announced its rejection of the nomination for "War and Peace," it immediately caused a huge uproar internationally.

Japan.

There is a lot of discussion online.

"War and Peace didn't make the cut?"

"Are you mistaken? Such a book cannot meet the criteria for the Johnson Literary Award?"

"Baga! Ye Luojun's book was rejected? What the hell?"

"Although I don't like Huaxia, is the Johnson Literature Award going too far this time? You can target Huaxia, but don't target Ye Luojun!"

"One thing to say, from an objective and fair point of view, let alone letting "War and Peace" be shortlisted, it is appropriate to directly award this year's Literature Award to him, right?"

"In terms of artistic content and sales, which of the works shortlisted this year can be compared with this book "War and Peace"?"

"This is naked shady behavior and suppression!"

"It's really too much."

There are many fans of Ye Luo in the Japanese country. Even though this country has deep conflicts with China, when it is embodied in individuals, such conflicts seem to be diluted a lot.

Many book fans deeply love Bai Juyi and "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", so they also love Ye Luo. When this incident broke out, Japanese book fans were extremely angry.

There are even many fans of secondary school books asking the great writers in their countries to publicly denounce the Johnson Literary Award jury.

What's even more outrageous is that some of these great Japanese writers actually did it!

Shiratori Fangxiong, known as the "Three Heroes of Nobuaki", was attacked by Ye Luo when he came to China, and was even banned by the Chinese Academy of Literature. It can be said that his trip to China was gloomy. However, this time he was the first to stand up and criticize the jury, "The artistic content and popularity of the book "War and Peace" are obvious to all the world. I really can't imagine that this year's jury will To do such a stupid thing. I once met Ye Luo, and I was defeated by him in literary discussion. I am very clear about his talent. If his book is missed because of various shady stories, I think this Johnson Prize will be a pity for the global literary community."

Not only him, but many great writers who had participated in the last visit to China stood up to speak out for Ye Luo.

That's what the Japanese are like.

They worship the strong and have their own abnormal outlook on life.

They like to crawl at the feet of the strong and look up to those who are stronger than themselves.

There is no doubt that Ye Luo left a very deep impression on them.

……

There was a wave of fierce condemnation not only in Japan, but also in countries all over the world.

As popular as "War and Peace" was before, the criticism against the jury is now so strong.

America.

"If there is no shady story, it is simply that God is asleep."

"Oh, to hell with this damn jury."

"'War and Peace' can't be shortlisted? What are you doing?"

"Don't the people on the jury read books?"

"A shady story! It's definitely a shady story!"

……

Germany.

"Either it's a shady story, or the people on the jury have no ability to appreciate art."

"I believe that everyone who has read this book will have the same answer in their hearts. This year's literary award will definitely be given to this book. But in fact, it was the jury that rejected the nomination of this book .what is going on?"

“It’s unimaginable that such a big scandal would appear at the Johnson Awards!”

"Shadow!"

……

Fans from other countries just criticize and criticize online.

However, Russian book lovers took action directly!

They ran directly to the street, held up their copies of "War and Peace", and started a massive protest!

What started out as dissatisfied book friends eventually turned into a strong dissatisfaction with the shady practices of Western powers!   Many, many people have participated!

Many people have never seen "War and Peace" and don't even know who Ye Luo is, but in order to protest against this practice in the West, they came to the streets one after another.

In the war-torn world of Central Asia, "War and Peace" is like a beam of light, sending warmth to the suffering people. But now, this light has been strangled in the darkness. So the people there were angry!

Even the local government publicly and strongly condemned the Western world for ignoring the facts and blatantly engaging in shady activities.

Suddenly, protests broke out all over the world. There are people online and people on the streets.

No one thought that it was just a book, but it would eventually turn into this!

When these news came back to China, the fans in the country who were extremely angry were also confused.

Domestic fans naturally cursed the jury for this approach. However, they never expected that the reaction from foreigners would be even more intense than theirs!

There are bloggers who specialize in carrying these foreign news reports and start broadcasting them vigorously.

There are countless comments and messages below.

Ye Luo fans were dumbfounded.

"No? What's going on? Teacher Ye still has so many fans overseas?"

"I don't remember Teacher Ye ever going abroad! When did so many loyal fans appear abroad?"

"I'm going to choke you! Just go to the streets to demonstrate? Are foreigners so fierce?"

"How popular is Mr. Ye's book abroad? It was said before that it was a best-seller all over the world, but it looks like it's not a best-seller, it's a smash hit!"

"Oh my god! Foreigners are so powerful! Even the government has come out to condemn it? I can't believe it!"

"Teacher Ye's book "War and Peace" is of great significance to Central Asia. I can understand why they have such a strong reaction. However, I really didn't expect that Teacher Ye would have so many people in Japan. Supporters! Isn’t the Japanese literary world the only one in the world to come forward to condemn the jury?”

"It's really a devil who opened the door for the devil. I saw a ghost! How could the Japanese support Teacher Ye so strongly? This is so unscientific!"

"I searched specifically and suddenly found that Mr. Ye had a lot of book fans in Japan. His "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and the Ye Tang series are among the top bestsellers in Japan. It is no exaggeration to say that Mr. Ye He has unknowingly become an internationally renowned writer."

"Maybe it wasn't before, but it is definitely now. In my whole life, I have never seen any book that can cause such a big sensation."

"Let me put it aside, this literary award is a disguised form of publicity for Teacher Ye. This terrifying influence is simply appalling. If it didn't actually happen in front of my eyes, I wouldn't believe it at all."

"That's outrageous!"

Looking at everything happening abroad, domestic book lovers and fans lamented that the world is really crazy.

However, the one who is most confused is definitely the Chinese Academy of Literature!

It’s not that they were shocked by the reaction of these book fans abroad.

The source of their shock was Ye Luo!

Because Ye Luo sent another book manuscript!

"What is this?" Dean Sun Deyou didn't even react.

"Books."

"No, I know it's a book. What do I mean by this book?"

"Go ahead and apply! Didn't they say that "War and Peace" won't work? Then give this "Gone with the Wind" a try."

"ah……??"

Senseless.

Really!

When everyone in the academy saw this copy of "Gone with the Wind", their brains were all short-circuited.

They haven't even issued a statement or condemnation about "War and Peace" being rejected by the jury. As a result, Ye Luo sent a new candidacy book?

"With the wind"?

When the hell was this written?

Or is it the full English version?

This is definitely not what Ye Luo wrote before. How could he have had enough time to write a book in English?

This seems to have been written recently!

Because this is directly aimed at the Western world!

However, this speed is really too outrageous, right?

Everyone knows that Mr. Ye is a fast shooter, but isn't he a little too fast?

This is writing a book! It’s not copying books!

Even if you are copying a book, typing will take some time, right?

No one can copy it so fast!

But as a result of shock, everyone quickly adjusted their emotions and wanted to read the book carefully. After all, Ye Luo is now a figurehead in the Chinese literary world. You can’t just rush to write a manuscript regardless of quality just because of the Johnson Literary Award. This is definitely not going to work.

However, everyone was embarrassed to find that their English proficiency could not understand this pure English version of the work.

"There's no need to review the manuscript anymore. I'm confident in the quality of this book." Ye Luo said, "I think this book should be on the same level as "War and Peace". In this way, you guys can make arrangements for overseas sales first. Matters. As for China, wait until I write another Chinese version."

"Row."

Ye Luo said so, so naturally others had no objections.

In fact, neither Ye Luo nor Dean Sun Deyou knew anything about it.

This "Gone with the Wind" is one of the top ten famous books in the world on Earth! Its author Margaret Mitchell is also the only great writer in the history of the earth to win the Nobel Prize for Literature for one book!

……

At this moment, the eyes of the international literary world are all focused on the Chinese literary world. I want to see how the huge Chinese literary world will respond when faced with such a naked shady case by the jury.

Do you pinch your nose and admit it, or do you just say a few words of condemnation as usual? Or is it possible that the Chinese literary community will withdraw from the competition for the Johnson Literary Award in a fit of anger, as has been posted online?

Anyway, everyone is waiting for their reply.

However, after waiting and waiting, the reply that everyone expected did not arrive. Instead, I waited for an announcement to promote a new book.

"Teacher Ye Luo's latest masterpiece, the first all-English work - "Gone with the Wind" will be released globally soon! Book friends, please wait patiently!"

As soon as this publicity announcement came out, the literary world around the world was stunned!

What do you want to do?

War and Peace was rejected and you immediately whipped out a new book?

They thought of countless ways to respond, but they never thought of this one!

All written in English? But he didn’t even cover it up, and told everyone openly that this book was for the Johnson Literary Award!

"War and Peace" in the context of Russian history doesn't work, does it?

Ye Luo didn't care about values ​​or not. He didn't care about these things at this time and just took out the pinnacle literary works under the Western system!

If we go by what the jury said before, then this "Gone with the Wind" definitely does not belong to the category of Chinese literature.

However, Ye Luo wanted to see how much credibility the Johnson Literary Award would have left if such an outrageous reason was used again in "Gone with the Wind"?
