Reborn Cultural Empire

() Imagining the days that would be entangled in affairs after moving to Shanghai, Yang Yi felt that this "Bright Sword" should be his last plagiarism.

The affairs of these two days were arranged, so he simply went home and concentrated on writing, which made his mother Yang Min very happy.Usually alone at home, Yang Min would not be willing to eat prawn ribs or even saury. Yang Min would carry them home without hesitation. I enjoyed the food and drink for several days.

And on the third day after returning home, the whole novel was about a third of the way through, and the editorial department called again.""

"Xiaoyi, are you at home? Listen to me, "Soil Pimple" entered the re-selection, and I knew it would definitely enter the re-selection! Hahahaha, now our country also has the first novel to win a world-wide literary award Yes! The first one, this is the unprecedented first one... Hey, hey, are you listening... Why is this not worth being happy? I won’t talk about the Nobel, I guess you still want that award Wait for a few years, but the Booker Prize is not too bad. Let me tell you, I have nothing to do these days, so I just keep watching this selection, and I also heard that many foreign writers value this award very much. Okay, I won’t talk about it, I’ll talk about it later when I get to your house. Because the selection committee of the Booker Prize specially sent an invitation letter, saying that they want to contact the author himself and invite him to participate in this session The Man Booker Prize ceremony..."

Putting down the phone, Yang Yi didn't know what mood he was in now, he said he was excited, of course it was necessary.But it would not be too much to say that he just got carried away with joy.After all, the notice only said that it had been shortlisted for the final selection.Whether you can have the last laugh and become the big winner of this year's Booker Prize selection depends on the results of the competition between your own work and the other three novels.

But whatever.There is still a little bit of joy in the young man's heart.Because this "Soil Pimple", unlike "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" and "Bright Sword", is almost a product of completely copying the achievements of the predecessor's labor, and it is not even "Those Things in the Song Dynasty" and "Shen Nong Code", even if it is only borrowed An idea, that is also a reference, has been influenced by other people's thinking from the very beginning, and it is still a very important influence.Although this "Soil Pimple" is also based on "Stone of Destiny".However, the cultures and thoughts of China and the Middle East are very different after all. In many things, what Yang Yi expresses is his own thinking and brushwork, and the original author just provided an inspiration.If plagiarism is divided into grades, then this "Soil Pimple" is undoubtedly the novel that makes Yang Yi feel the least amount of guilt and the most downplayed.

However, it is a good thing to be shortlisted for the final selection of the Booker Prize, but Yang Yi was a little hesitant about the selection committee's invitation.To go or not to go, that is the question.If you don't go, don't say that you feel sorry, it is very likely that there will be a group of people headed by Rogo.You will also disagree with your own opinion.In these people's hearts, there is no "guilt of plagiarism", they will only think that such a god-given opportunity, Yang Yi, you boy actually turned it down.It is really intolerable.And if you want to participate, you will naturally learn a lot.By the way, make friends with well-known foreign writers and related people in various cultural circles.But the only problem is that I didn't get the award after I went there, and that was a blow to myself.Besides, there may also be some villains who don't like Yangyi culture, and take this opportunity to ridicule them.

After thinking about it for a long time, the boy still couldn't make a decision, so he had to put this matter aside and discuss it after Zhao Shuren came over.

Half an hour later, Luo Ge, Zhao Shuren, Wu Shi, and Zeng Wanxing, the public relations manager of Yangyi Culture, came to visit together. Seeing such a strong lineup, Yang Yi knew what these people would say, and it was almost certain. These guys are here to persuade him to attend the awards ceremony.Otherwise, there is no need to bring the company's public relations manager.

And the reasons Yang Yi put forward were not reasons at all in their eyes: "Why can't you get the award? Xiaoyi, you are too unconfident! You can use this Booker Prize to select the only author whose language is not English. If you were selected, this can clearly explain the problem, right? It can be seen that most of the judges are still very optimistic about you. Taking a step back, even if you fail to win the award in the end, it is a kind of experience and exercise for yourself. Compared with those foreign writers who are at least adults, this is already your victory, so why worry about it? Besides, we all believe that with your psychological quality, even if you don’t win the award, you will only turn grief and anger into strength, and then write Produce better works, right? As for the villains who use this to attack you, do you think someone like you who can be selected for the final selection of the Booker Prize at a young age, who would not have eyes to pick your thorns? This is a fact that is put on the outside, and people with a discerning eye can see clearly at a glance, if there are such people, they will only be scolded by domestic readers."

Rogo talked eloquently for several minutes, and explained the reasons eloquently, criticizing Yang Yi's previous prudence one by one.

But even so, Yang Yi still couldn't make up his mind for the time being, and said that he had to think about it first before making a decision.But he wanted to be more cautious, but some people didn't think so. When Yang Min, who came back from playing cards, learned about this, he immediately showed his son the face of a parent that he hadn't shown in more than a year: "You If you don’t go, you have to go, if you go, you have to go! After all, I participated in the grand prize selection, which is worse than the Nobel Prize. How can I not participate? If you dare not to go, don’t write any novels in the future, anyway, you write it It's all about entertaining yourself, and you don't care what others think of you at all."

Looking at the slightly angry mother, Yang Yi wisely chose not to speak, but Yang Min knew his son's temper well, and immediately forced him to show his attitude.Seeing that there was no other way, Yang Yicai reluctantly agreed to go to the awards ceremony: "Really, mom, can you stop being so vain, if you don't win by then, I'll see how you show off to others."

Yang Yi thought that he knew his mother well enough, but Yang Min's next words clearly proved that his cognition was still very lacking.At least for his mother's vanity judgment, he took it for granted: "Why can't you show off? As long as the TV broadcasts, no one will know that I am your mother. In the end, even if you don't win the award, everyone will only say nice things. Son Ah, you are still too young, people will only be jealous that you can be invited to participate in the award ceremony, and that you can write novels recognized by others at such a young age, isn’t that enough for me to show off?”

"Broadcast on TV? Mom, are you thinking too much? The Booker Prize has been established for so many years, and I have never heard of a live broadcast in China." Yang Yi sneered helplessly, thinking that his mother It is also too arrogant.Not to mention showing off, but also showing off so confidently, it is really a petty bourgeois mentality.

As a result, just when Yang Min was stunned for a moment, and when disappointment was about to appear on his face, pangbian Luo Ge said with a smile: "You don't have to worry about this, I have already called Fang Junzi, Director Fang, and he is probably in the middle now. What is the name of the Oriental TV station in Shanghai? The last time you went to Shanghai, you asked Mr. Fang to match you up with the leader of the TV station... By the way. Director Mei? You are already in contact with Director Mei Well, Oriental TV will send a team of reporters to follow up and interview you throughout the whole process, anyway, when you attend the award ceremony. They will keep filming and live broadcasting, and I have always been more confident in the technical means of Oriental TV."

I didn't even agree.These people notified the TV station?Yang Yi could only protest in silence, but Yang Min nodded to Luo Ge repeatedly.The appreciation is beyond words.

Seeing that Yang Min's brows were beaming with joy, he almost said that his mother was so happy today on his face.The young man could only have nothing to say, but it made pangbian laugh at the Yangyi culture that Yang's mother taught his son.And when Yang Yi stared at them one by one with vicious eyes, instead of restraining themselves, those people became even more serious.

For this kind of employee and comrade-in-arms, the teenager can only say that he has made friends carelessly.

But no matter what, when everyone has reached an agreement and is waiting for Yang Yi to pack up his things and go abroad, he can only succumb to the power of the people, and he has experienced what it means to destroy bones.

……

This weekend, Jiang Nan didn't intend to go to Xiangshan to see the red leaves in response to the call of some outstanding people in the class.In fact, the red leaves in the capital are not only found in Jingyi Garden, but there is a huge rock shaped like a censer, which adds a lot of fame, and is praised by many poems, which makes it what it is today.But cotinus cotinus is everywhere in the capital. From the girl's point of view, some relatively inaccessible places have places that are more suitable for viewing maple leaves than Jingyi Garden.And these days, that suitor has put on a stalking posture, so that no matter where she goes, as soon as the other party appears, the friends around her will laugh together, and tease the two of them with a joke .

It's just that Jiang Nan has no interest in this kind of teasing, and is even a little disgusted. If it weren't for the gentle character she has always shown on the outside, she might have said some ugly things in front of everyone.

However, she doesn't want to participate in the party among classmates, but it doesn't mean that she can seek a moment of purity.When she finished her homework in the morning and came out of the bedroom, the first thing she saw was the man who also had a good background in the family, led by her elders, in the living room of her villa.In addition, there are relatives in the room, there are uncles and uncles, and aunts and aunts. This large group of elders who would give Jiang Nan a headache to distinguish one by one, but at this time they are all sitting around the old lady. He looked at her because of the ambiguous eyes.Realizing that she had become the focus of everyone's attention, Jiang Nan didn't appear shy or generous like many young ladies from official families. Go into the dining room to pour warm water.

"Nan Nan, come and sit down. It's time for lunch. You should also take a break." Amid the extremely unanimous silence of the crowd, the old lady He Qifang patted the seat beside her, where a chair had already been placed. But no one sat on it, obviously it was specially prepared for her, and after He Qifang said this, the expressions of the family members became even more weird, as if they were not afraid of the height of the stage when watching a movie.

This kind of situation is relatively rare. Although she has only been in the capital for four short months, she also knows that her seven aunts and eight aunts are not as harmonious as they seem now. , usually not too obvious, but it is definitely a difficult problem for them to show the same expression in such a consistent manner.

But looking at it now, the second mother and sister-in-law, who used to compare each other because of their sons' strife, are now sweeping her around with playful eyes carved out of almost the same mold, and from time to time, they will take a look at the person next to He Qifang at the same time. The guest, the boy who is usually a famous figure in school, now acts like a good baby. Jiang Nan thought that if the girl sitting three rows in front of him saw it, she would probably be unbelievable, and then she shouted hello with starry eyes. Lovely kind of nympho language.

And the aunt who is really good to Jiang Nan, who is the eldest daughter-in-law of this family, is also talking to Jiang Nan's cousin, looking at the boy while talking.I can't see their inner thoughts, but obviously there will be no negative comments.

Only the cousin who teaches and educates people in the university, although he usually pays attention to his words and deeds, and rarely brings home the pedantic atmosphere in school, but today he is uncharacteristically not showing an overly enthusiastic attitude, and his attitude is a bit cold .

Seeing this situation in the room, the smart girl's heart sank. Although she still couldn't believe it, she couldn't help but start thinking about the worst.Just when she kept speculating and doubting, the old lady waved kindly for the second time: "Girl Nan here, she is usually a generous person, why is it so rare for a little girl to be with you today?"
