Reborn Cultural Empire

() Although in fact, he didn't need the materials provided by Zuo Zhouzhou at all, but judging from the other party's posture, if he didn't use those materials, probably this young man would not agree to put his name in the book .Since Zuo Zhouzhou's name was indispensable, he must drag this prince into the water, and Yang Yi agreed with the other party's decision.

After sending Zuo Zhouzhou away, Yang Yi was about to sort out the impromptu scripts these days, and send Su Wan the comics about the island country in his previous life. He had read some of them more or less, and especially "op" remembered the most. But in the final analysis, he is not the kind of otaku who is crazy and obsessed with island country animation, so in fact, his memory of many plots in the original manga is a bit blurred and incomplete." "However, thanks to the various novels he had read in the past, as well as the various novels on Yanhuan.com, he still managed to complete the original plot that he could not remember.There may be more or less discrepancies, but purely in terms of the excitement of the plot, the oriental fairy adventure adapted into "Clouds and Desolation" hardly belongs to the original work.This is not Yang Yi's inflated self-confidence, but a conclusion drawn from the sales volume of the booklet reported back from the island country.

But just as he brought all his things and was about to set off, Mr. Zhao Shuren, the editor-in-chief of Yangyi Publishing, Mr. Zhao suddenly rushed over. The excited look on his face almost made people wonder if Yangyi Culture had become It is as if he lost the publishing giant of Bertelsmann, or he got the fairy peach from the Queen Mother and unexpectedly extended his life by 90 years.

In Yang Yi's impression, this person was recruited by Rogo from Sanlian Publishing House to Siyue Culture, and has been the editor-in-chief of Siyue Culture from the very beginning.Later, he was also called the editor-in-chief of Yangyi Publishing and the old man who was a special consultant of Yangyi Culture.There has never been such an anxious look about to jump, the old man Xia Tian carries a small folding fan with him.In the other three seasons, the purple clay teapot is always in hand. The style of the old-school intellectual and the character of enjoying the joy of ordinary life are vividly expressed in him. Many people say that it is almost impossible to see this old man in a hurry. .But now, on an ordinary late autumn afternoon in 1998, Zhao Shuren's performance broke people's usual impression of him.

"Don't worry about anything, take a break first and then talk slowly." Seeing Zhao Shuren panting, Yang Yi was both amused and worried.In case something goes wrong with this old man, it's really hard for me to explain to other people's family.

"Nominated, Xiaoyi, your book has been nominated!" Zhao Shuren opened his mouth and yelled endlessly. His voice was so loud that it almost penetrated the entire floor. Many staff working in the Pangbian office heard that Sheng couldn't help poking his head out of the door, wanting to see what happened.It was obvious that Zhao Shuren was so uncharacteristically excited.Let them also secretly guess in their hearts.

Facing the old man's excitement, Yang Yi repeatedly waved his hands, and was about to make him a cup of green tea, let the other party calm down, and then talk about it slowly.But Old Master Zhao is still in the mood to drink tea.He immediately grabbed Yang Yi's arm: "No, no, I can't drink it now, I'm so happy. I can't pretend anything. Xiao Yi, your book has been nominated. You have been nominated!"

Yang Yi could only smile bitterly again, and the other party only had this sentence upside down.But there is no context, it is like raising people's appetite high, but not letting people fall to the ground.After nodding repeatedly, he repeatedly signaled Zhao Shuren to calm down. Seeing that the other party's flushed face had gradually calmed down, and he was no longer dancing around like before, he asked unhurriedly, "What nomination? Where is my nomination?" This book has been nominated? Grandpa Zhao, please don’t tell me what Mao Dun Literature Award or Lu Xun Literature Award nomination is.”

The boy recalled it carefully, and Zhao Shuren said that his book was nominated, and the most likely reason was that "Soil Pimple" was nominated for some domestic literary awards.As of 98, China's well-known literary awards, that is, the earliest and official Mao Dun Literature Award, and the Zhuangwen Literature Award established at the end of the 80s, after entering the 90s, Feng Bie was in 1994 and 1995. The Cao Yu Drama Literature Award and the Lu Xun Literature Award were established in [-].Other than that, he really couldn't remember any other awards.

But if these domestic awards, especially the Mao Dun Literature Award, let alone whether the selection time has come, the question of whether they are qualified or not is already very puzzling.Because Huaxia has a special organization called the Writers Association, to a certain extent, the popularity of a writer and the brilliance of his works are not directly proportional in a sense, and when such an organization with an administrative organization When the qualitative organization can affect the economic interests of a writer, then many dark factors that should not belong to literature will affect the selection of works.It's not that Yang Yi's views on the selection of domestic literary awards are too dark, deliberately conspiracy theories, in fact, there are many voices of doubt and criticism in the circle of writers.

But in any case, these criticisms cannot shake the fact that the Mao Dun Literature Award has the greatest influence in China. Even if it is not this award, but several other literary awards, there are more or less similar problems, but they are still repeated year after year. , and bring numerous honors to the writers who have won these awards.

Could it really be one of these?

As for the nominated book, there is no need to guess, it must be "Soil Pimple".

While Yang Yi was secretly speculating, Zhao Shuren finally straightened out his chest with a sigh of relief, his eyes were full of the look of his predecessors who loved and cherished talents, but there was no lack of surprise and emotion: "No, it is not the selection of domestic literary awards, but the selection of literary awards in China. It’s from abroad, it’s from abroad! I’ve heard of the Booker Prize in Britain! It’s actually this award! When I received a call from the Booker Prize Management Committee, I was really shocked, thinking it was some boring person You called me on purpose to tease me, and I was thinking why there was no movement in those awards in China, but foreigners came to nominate your book. It turned out that after explaining for a long time, I realized that your book was indeed the winner. I have been nominated for the Booker Prize. Just now I asked Gregory to look it up on the Internet, and saw that your book was indeed included in the shortlisted bibliography they announced. Now that’s it. The Chinese people have won glory! You don’t know. I just figured out what the Booker Prize is. It is an award second only to the Nobel Prize for Literature in foreign countries. Although it is more commercial-oriented, it is a harmonious senior literary worker. It was selected jointly with the readers. I heard that the reviews are changed every year, which is very strict. Unexpectedly, I did not expect that a foreign award would still know about our Xiaoyi’s works. Haha, good news. Great news ,hehe……"

Stimulated by such unheard-of news in China, Zhao Shuren's usual calmness also disappeared, leaving only the joy of laughing at everyone.Obviously, the old master is still very proud of this kind of recognition from the Western world. It is basically like China occupying the world, but it is not force or commodity.but culture.

In fact, anyone who has a little knowledge of the Booker Prize will almost always have the same reaction as Old Master Zhao. This award, which seemed strange to Chinese writers in 98, has in fact attracted worldwide attention.Almost as fair and unbiased a literary selection as possible has been achieved.Because it is different from other selection mechanisms, this literary award was only established in the middle of the 4th century, although compared with her companions in other countries.She is an out-and-out little sister, but she is much fairer than her predecessors, starting with sponsors.The following is the management committee that du li operates, and this management committee can only propose the next level of review with professional background.However, they cannot directly participate in the selection of nominated works.After the committee selects five judges, the judges who will change candidates every year will select the final review list by du li homework, and then the four authors in the final review list will compare and judge the final winner.

In this extremely strict atmosphere that has eliminated interest factors to the greatest extent, the Booker Prize has naturally become a symbol of justice. Although it is impossible to make everyone feel 100% fair, compared to bringing The Nobel Prize due to political factors, the Goncourt Prize whose reputation has declined due to the impact of economic interests, and the Booker Prize already stand out from the crowd.

In fact, Yang Yi's "Soil Pimple" is based on the book "The Tough Stone" that won the Goncourt Award in his previous life, and the purpose of the young man's choice of this book is also to win the Goncourt Award, not to win the Goncourt Award. Booker Prize, on the one hand, the original text itself is written in French. Even after the influence of translation, even if it is written in Chinese, the taste of this book is biased towards the French literary aesthetic concept. After considering various factors, Yang Yicai chose this novel.In his opinion, the Goncourt Prize is obviously less difficult to win than the Booker Prize.Especially for "Soil Knob", which has undergone a makeover, the copyright agent in France is Grasse Press, one of the three major publishing houses in that country.And this publishing house is actually the jury giant of the Goncourt Prize. In many cases, the editors-in-chief of literature of these three publishing houses or their contracted writers will routinely become the judges of the Goncourt Prize.It is precisely because of this situation that my work is distributed by one of the Big Three, so the chances of winning the prize will be relatively high.

However, there is no news about the Goncourt Prize, but there is news of being nominated for the Booker Prize, which really makes Yang Yi very puzzled.

But no matter what, the current situation will only be better than originally expected, and there is no need for the young man to ask and worry more.

"Xiaoyi, if your "Soil Pimple" wins an award in the end, then you don't know how many records you have set. The youngest winner, the youngest overseas Zuo family, we are the first in China to gain worldwide influence The author of the grand prize... Hehe, even us editors of Yangyi Publishing will follow you!" Zhao Shuren's face was full of joy, and in his heart, this suddenly unsettling news was second only to He knew the third good news that his grandson and granddaughter were born, and that his wife's high blood pressure had improved.For an editor who has been working hard all his life to come across a good book, what could be more exciting than hearing that a book published by your publishing house has won one of the best awards in the world?The first two news were about his family, while the last one was about his career.

"It's just a nomination, Grandpa Zhao, please don't be so excited, okay?" Yang Yi shook his head helplessly, and then closed the door of the office, lest the employees outside who were listening in the corner would also make a fuss: "As far as I know , the first nomination for this award is only the preliminary selection, and then there is the flotation of the professional judges, and finally the final selection of one of the four. This is the first step of the Long March. You are so excited, when the time comes Once you are dismissed, what do you think everyone thinks, isn't it just a blow to the enthusiasm of the employees?"
