Chapter 389 Let's exchange 1 point of contempt, just like meeting in a mirror
Chapter 389 Let's exchange a little contempt, like meeting in a mirror
Huaguo's Literary and Art Society Association once had an anonymous voting interview with artists in Huaguo's showbiz circle.
The question is very simple, why do you like to stay in this circle.
Because it is anonymous, everyone answered honestly.
The No.1 answer is naturally high income.
The No.2 answer is also relatively popular: because of the high exposure rate of this industry.
Many people in this industry just enjoy the feeling of being watched by thousands of people in front of the spotlight.
This business, to a certain extent, is similar to a certain nature of the emperor.
Artists in the fan base can fully enjoy the feeling of being echoed by everyone.
Just post a selfie on Weibo, and fans will give you a thumbs up.
No matter how dark the heart is, it is almost possible to engage in concubine selection and the like.
Under the spotlight, it gathers the focus and magnifies all human nature.
……
Gu Hongli held the microphone and stood under the spotlight.
Neon flashes.
Countless pairs of eyes at the scene fell on her exquisite and perfect face.
The top instruments sounded.
Gu Hongli spoke softly.
"Who doesn't have some unforgettable things, who can predict the consequences..."
"Who doesn't have some old hatred demons, a little bit of unintentional mistakes..."
With a smile on the corner of Gu Hongli's mouth, he sang very gently.
At this time, there was a breeze blowing in.
With the faint coolness of early summer, Gu Hongli's gentle singing touched everyone's heartstrings.
The pitch of the song is not high.
No skill is even required.
But from Gu Hongli's mouth, it sounds so comfortable and intoxicating.
So... It's haunting.
The audience at the scene closed their eyes one after another.
I was immersed in Gu Hongli's beautiful singing voice.
"Live happily, don't hold grudges, sing a song for today's laughter..."
A really good song is so touching.
The barrage is obsessed.
"It's the first time I've heard carp sing in Cantonese!"
"Although, hahaha, Carp's Cantonese is not that standard, but this song is really nice, right?"
"Mom! The smile of the carp just now, I am lost!"
"Mom! I feel Qi Yuan's happiness!"
"This should be the purest good song, right? It doesn't require any skills, and touching people with emotion is the best music!"
"Carp's Cantonese is not taught by Qi Yuan, is it?"
The filming scene of "Cruise of Horrors".
On a huge projection screen, the Infinite Song Festival is being played.
All the hundreds of staff members at the scene watched intently.
Qi Yuan tenderly looked at the generously radiant Gu Hongli on the screen, with water patterns flowing in the mist.
The camera cuts to the singers backstage.
Gu Qingcheng applauded for the camera.
Liu Chengye shook his head slightly, apparently enjoying the music very much.
Bai Xue's dress tonight is not convenient for sitting.
So she stood in front of the camera, watching Gu Hongli's performance intently.
Gu Hongli's song ended.
Amidst the applause of the audience, Qingqing came up with a card in her hand.
After singing "Looking at the Wind and Cloud with a Laugh", Gu Hongli's face was neither red nor heartbeat.
"Teacher Liyu, you sang this song so gently!" Qingqing said with a smile while pulling Gu Hongli's wrist.
Gu Hongli also smiled, looked at the audience, and said, "Because the person who wrote this song is very gentle!"
Immediately there was booing at the scene.
"Wow! Showing affection again!"
"Sister! Show affection, share it quickly!"
"Don't say it, I just love to watch Qi Yuan and Gu Hongli show their affection!"
"These two are really clear streams in the entertainment industry, they are not monsters at all! Love love love love!"
"Mom! I want to kill this pair of CPs!"
Qingqing continued to participate in the interview: "In the past few episodes, the works of Yuancheng Film and Television that participated in the Unlimited Ballad Festival were all the lyrics and music of Teacher Qi Yuan, and tonight is no exception. And we all know one thing, that is, you and Qi Yuan The teacher is a classmate in college. And when Teacher Qi Yuan was in college, he had already started to compose. So here comes the question, has Qi Yuan written a song for you?"
Qingqing's question seemed to have touched Gu Hongli's heart.
She pursed her lips, as if thinking of something extremely happy, she burst out laughing: "Indeed, but this song belongs to me alone. It was written for me when he was a freshman, right? Over the years, I don’t know how many times I’ve listened to it!”
There was a scream of wah wah wah.
The barrage is even more crazy.
"Fuck!! Breaking news!"
"Kill the dog! Kill the dog!"
"Wow! Did anyone take a screenshot of that moment when Carp laughed? It's so beautiful!! My heart can't stand it!"
"I don't know if Qi Yuan can bear such a carp!"
"It's too much! This is tricking the dog into killing it!"
"As compensation, I think Liyu should release this song so that we can all listen to it! How good is this song that makes Gu Hongli look so happy!"
Crew of "Cruise of Horrors".
Everyone burst out laughing when they heard Gu Hongli say that.
Then everyone looked at Qi Yuan and started joking.
"My dear! Freshman year! Director Qi was only 18 at that time, right? Is he that good at flirting? Woohoo, not like me! I'm still a virgin now!"
"Director Qi is so good-looking, so talented, and so flirtatious, no wonder Mr. Li Yu is deeply involved in it!"
"It's unbelievable! So there is such a story! Hahaha!"
Qi Yuan was a little embarrassed by everyone's ridicule. He waved his hand and said, "It's alright, alright, let's start work! There is still a play tonight! I want to stay up all night!"
Gu Hongli stood on the stage, staring at the commentaries' comments seriously.
Holding the lyrics list in his hand, Jiao Wenfang said earnestly: "Qi Yuan's lyrics, I will never get tired of reading them. This time, I especially like every line of "Laughing at the Wind and Cloud"! People say that it is difficult to write without experiencing suffering." The lyrics are touching! But Qi Yuan is indeed a genius, such lyrics, just like the last "Song of Ordinary People", come at your fingertips! I really envy this talent!"
Gu Hongli was more happy to hear Kua Qiyuan's comment than to hear Kua herself, and grinned.
Liu Shiyi said: "I really like your performance tonight, it's like a person who has gone through the world, looking back at his past, the kind of calm and breezy, this feeling fits perfectly with this song , I like it very much. Full marks!"
"Thank you, Teacher Liu."
"Old Things" said: "If the lyrics are 95 points, I think the melody of this song is 70 points, which is quite different from Gu Qingcheng's song tonight! I don't mean anything else, carp, I just have something say what!"
The live broadcast cut to Gu Qingcheng in the background in a timely manner.
The words of "Old Things" are completely putting her on the shelf.
That's why Gu Qingcheng's expression at this moment looks a little awkward.
Not laughing, not smiling.
After listening to the comments of "Old Things", Gu Hongli nodded slightly and said, "It's natural, a song cannot be liked by everyone."
Gu Hongli's performance part is over.
She was very satisfied with her performance tonight.
She lifted her skirt, returned to the backstage, and began to wait for the people behind to perform.
As soon as he returned to the backstage, the news of Gu Siji came.
"The song you mentioned is "Angel"?"
Gu Hongli sent a smiling expression in the past.
Then Gu Siji did not reply to the message.
The program progressed quickly, and soon came to the final link.
All the guests were invited to the stage.
The live broadcast is currently running commercials.
There are still 3 minutes left to vote.
The 24 singers spoke in low voices on stage.
"Red carp, your singing tonight is so soft and soft, so comfortable!"
"Thank you!"
"Red Carp, to be honest! When your husband is free, you must write me a song! I really like the ten songs you Yuancheng performed at the Unlimited Song Festival! I have been thinking many times, How nice it would be if I sang one of the songs!"
"Brother, why don't you join our Yuancheng Film and Television? Qi Yuan is alone, and he must be the one who first satisfies our company!"
Bai Xue stood in the center of the stage, very quiet.
When someone spoke to her, she responded in a neutral manner.
Tonight is the first time she has come to the stage of Infinity Song Festival.
She is also very confident in the repertoire she performs.
The arrangement of the whole song is relatively retro.
The result in her heart is the top three.
Gu Qingcheng stood next to Gu Hongli.
Hearing the conversation from the side, she didn't show any expression.
Indeed, if he also has a Qi Yuan, wouldn't he just kill people randomly on this stage?Even rampage in the Chinese music scene?
This Gu Hongli looks just average, right?
At most, split [-]-[-] with yourself.
But why does she have such good luck?To find such a super excellent husband like Qi Yuan?
But fortunately.
My song tonight, Gu Qingcheng, is good enough.
This is a good song that I worked so hard to get.
A good song that surprised all the producers of Tianhao.
Can't you get the first place tonight?
Gu Qingcheng thought so.
Qingqing has already started announcing the rankings.
Bai Xue ninth.
Gu Qingcheng is second.
Gu Hongli was first.
Yuancheng Film and Television, won the Unlimited Ballad Festival, eleven consecutive championships!
Hearing the news that he was second, there was only one feeling in Gu Qingcheng's mind.
That is dizzying.
How can it be?This song of mine can't beat the "Laughing at the Wind and Cloud", which has no skill at first and no high pitch?
In Gu Qingcheng's little head, this question kept flickering, she thought for a long time but couldn't figure it out.
And the biggest surprise of the night.
That's Snow White's ranking.
As the top singer in Huaguo, she has appeared in the finale of major evening shows all year round.
She appeared on the stage of Infinity Music Festival for the first time, but she only got the No.9 result?
When the result came out, it wasn't just Bai Xue who couldn't believe it.
On the Internet, countless viewers felt a little unbelievable.
"Is it fake? I think Bai Xue's performance tonight is very good!"
"Uh... I think everyone's votes are more telling! The arrangement of Bai Xue's song tonight is a bit too old-fashioned! Those who don't know it think they are listening to a song from 30 years ago!"
"How should I put it? It's not that Bai Xue's performance is not good, but... on this kind of competitive stage, either you can show off your skills to the extreme, soar high notes crazily, and sing coloratura! Or you can move people with emotion. Wan Gu Hongli's championship is the best proof!"
"I don't think it's fake at all! We all know Bai Xue's achievements! But if this stage has always been ranked by achievements, then our Chinese music ceiling teacher Liu Chengye, wouldn't he be the champion every time?"
"It's a good story upstairs!"
Unlimited Song Festival No. 11 is over.
Naturally hung up on the hot search.
"Mom! Every time the song festival is over, I can predict what will be on the trending list! "Shock! Yuancheng Films and Television Completed the Unlimited Song Festival × Consecutive Achievement"!"
"Hahahaha! Upstairs, are you going to laugh at me to death?"
"But...haha, it seems that there is nothing wrong with what you said!"
Infinite Song Festival, a program that has lasted for a year, finally, there is only the last episode left.
And with this program, apart from the 24 companies participating in the program, they made a lot of money.
Most of the singers who appeared on the stage have gained a lot of popularity.
Among them, the one who benefited the most is Mu An.
Although in the No.11 period, he has been replaced by Zhen Hao.
But this not only did not make Mu An lose fans.
Zhen Hao's operation has instead become a means of abusing fans.
This made Mu An's fans more united.
They even posted an entry on Weibo saying "I feel sorry for Mu An".
Go in a little bit, and the latest comments are all mocking Zhen Hao and Bai Xue.
"Hahahaha! Tonight's result is really satisfying!"
"Substitution? Substitution? So what?"
"No.9?? Is this the result of the substitution? I love it!"
"Aren't Zhen Xing's executives out of their minds? Mu An's performance in the Unlimited Ballad Festival is getting better and better! It can be said that according to this progress, the 11th issue should be ranked first! But the executives actually Picked him up?"
"Pure passerby! I ate Mu An's melon today, so I came here to laugh at you! Hahaha!"
"I really want to see Boss Zhen Xing's expression now!"
"I don't know if Mu An is happy! Anyway, I am happy!"
……
Zhen Xing.
It is already late at night.
But the company still has a lot of people.
As soon as tonight's game ended, there were a lot of bad comments about the company on the Internet.
Everyone is working overtime nervously!
Zhen Hao holds the coffee and stands in front of the window.
The assistant asked from the side: "Sister Zhen, there are a lot of negative news about us on the Internet!"
Zhen Hao still has a big heart. Although Bai Xue's achievements tonight are indeed a bit beyond everyone's expectations, they are not completely hopeless!
"Find more marketing accounts!"
"No problem! Sister Xue's agent called just now, and I said you are in a meeting."
"What did she ask me for? An apology? Bai Xue is in front of the stage, and our entire Zhen Xing is behind the scenes! The ninth this time is our entire Zhen Xing!"
Zhen Hao's voice became a little sharper, making the assistant afraid to speak.
……
Three in the morning.
Qi Yuan dragged his tired body back home.
Although he was filming in Xidu, if he was afraid that the filming would be late, Qi Yuan would just sleep in the hotel and would not come back to disturb the rest of Gu Hongli's mother and daughter.
But today is different.
Gu Hongli just won the championship, Qi Yuan must come back to encourage him!
In the dim light.
Gu Hongli drank some water, and rolled her eyes at Qi Yuan: "Obviously I won the championship tonight, why is it you who got the reward!"
The flavor of love is strong here.
Qi Yuan Anyi laughed heartily.
"Why did you expose the existence of "Angel" today? Didn't you say that you want to listen to it forever!" Qi Yuan suddenly thought of something and asked.
Gu Hongli put her head on Qi Yuan's shoulder, and said in a stuttering way: "Actually, I have always had an idea. When we retire, I will publish "Angel" and let the whole society witness our beauty!"
Qi Yuan pinched Gu Hongli's face, and said, "Why are you so sure that we can live forever?"
Gu Hongli immediately stood up, tilted her head, and said, "What do you want to do?"
Qi Yuan was given an imposing but charming stare by Gu Hongli,
……
……
The final voting results for the Beautiful Country Guli Gold Award have come out.
The 30 shortlisted works, after anonymous voting by many judges, finally produced the only one this year!
Chairman Clyde and the three persons in charge of this year's selection looked at the final results together and looked at each other in blank dismay.
No.1, Qi Yuan's "The Outsider".
No.2, Muhammad's "The Sun".
"Holy shit! This result..."
"How could it be that "The Outsider" won the first place?"
"This is a Chinese?! Are we really going to award him this year's Guli Gold Award?"
"No! This is a beautiful country!"
"Although this Qi Yuan is indeed a very popular best-selling author in China! When we announced that he was shortlisted, the Guli Gold Award was very popular in China! But let him be the first one directly. It's ridiculous to be shortlisted for the first time and win an award!"
"Chairman, what do you think?"
The four of them were silent for a moment, then lit their cigars and took a few puffs.
When the room was filled with smoke, Clyde spoke slowly: "The reason why I added the book "The Outsider" to the 30 checklist was not because of how good the book itself is. It's because, we Qi Yuan’s influence in China is needed to promote the influence of our Guli Gold Award in China. So far, the results are still very good. Many ordinary people in Hua country know the existence of the Guli Gold Award.”
"Chairman, what do you mean?"
"What does the chairman mean... At the beginning, we all agreed that the quality of the novel "The Outsider" is actually for promotion..."
"That's right...that's what happened!"
three days later.
The works that won the 25th Guli Gold Award were officially announced on the official website!
Because Qi Yuan was shortlisted, many Huaguo readers are also looking forward to it.
Everyone is looking forward to seeing if Qi Yuan will create a miracle!
But the end result was a little disappointing for everyone!
The winner of the Guli Gold Award this time is "The Sun" by the best-selling novelist Muhammad in the beautiful country!
On the Internet, everyone is talking about it!
"I just read the Chinese version of "The Sun" last month. It is indeed a very warm story! No wonder the cumulative sales abroad have exceeded 3000 million copies! Such a book is really worth it!"
"Oh! It's such a pity! Qi Yuan was a little short in the end! But it's already super good! Being shortlisted for the Guli Gold Award, this is the first step for us Hua people! I believe that in the future, there will always be someone who can Got this award!"
"Indeed! The road is taken step by step! With Qi Yuan's works exploring the way for us in front, it should be easier for our writers' works to go abroad in the future, right?"
"Actually, Qi Yuan's works such as "Sherlock Holmes", "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" and so on are all selling well abroad!"
"By the way...Qi Yuan won't be like Li Jiujiu's "The Second Under Heaven" without award-winning works, so he won't release them right away?"
"Probably not? I'm particularly interested in the title of the book "Outsider" alone!"
The results are announced.
It's not that perfect though.
But in fact, it is also expected by many people.
A novel written by a Chinese, went to participate in a foreign selection.
Although this selection is global, it is non-discriminatory.
But from Qi Yuan's representative works, especially the "5000 Years" series.
Qi Yuan's writing is deeply rooted in the soil of Huaguo culture.
The cultural atmosphere on both sides is different.
Therefore, it is understandable that he did not win this year's Guli Gold Award. No one would think that this matter should not be done.
Although for this matter, readers think very openly.But the mood of everyone urging the new book is impatient.
Everyone flocked to Qi Yuan's Weibo, begging to publish a new book.
"How long has it been since the end of "Secret"? Hurry up! Now that the selection for the Guli Gold Award is over, hurry up and publish this book!"
"A book written in blood by one person, begging for the publication of "The Outsider"!"
"Don't rush! Since "Outsider" participated in Gu Lijin's selection, it must be written in English. Even if it is published at this time, can you understand English?"
"Ah... this Bengbu is live!"
"Qi Yuan Qi Yuan, hurry up! Stop filming! It's important to write a book!"
After the official announcement of the Guli Gold Award, the reaction of the entire industry was quick.
In the beautiful country, many publishing houses have begun to contact the relevant authors.
Needless to say, Muhammad's award-winning work "The Sun".
The book has long been published.
So many publishing houses are focusing their attention on shortlisted books like "The Outsider" that have not yet been published!
This is the Guli Gold Award!
Even if it is shortlisted, then its publication is completely profitable!
Many publishing houses wanted to contact Qi Yuan.
But unfortunately, Qi Yuan could not be contacted.
……
The editor-in-chief of Foreign Languages Publishing House, Hales, stood proudly in front of the staff.
"Editor-in-Chief, you are so far-sighted! You actually know that "The Outsider" can be shortlisted for the Guli Gold Award!"
Hailes raised his chin slightly and said proudly: "That's natural, this is the work of Qi Yuan, a best-selling author in Huaguo! But to be honest, the reason why I chose to push this book over is entirely because of this book. The quality is really great!"
"The boss is indeed a wise eye!"
"The boss is awesome!"
"Editor-in-Chief, what exactly is "The Outsider" about? I'm so curious!"
Hales was immediately stopped by this question.
What content?
How did he know?
The organizing committee that pushed "The Outsider" to the Guli Gold Award was just to sell Qi Yuan's favor!
He has never read this book at all!
But who knew that Qi Yuan was actually shortlisted for this year's Guli Gold Award with this book!
This is an unprecedented achievement of the Chinese people!
The sales volume of this book in the beautiful country may not be high!
But the sales in China will definitely explode!
"I can't tell you this! It's a secret! You can buy it when "The Outsider" is published!" Hales replied.
"Boss, can we really get the publishing rights of "The Outsider"?"
"Don't worry! It's not a big problem!"
Hailes was chatting with everyone, a staff member rushed over excitedly, and said loudly: "It's done! Qi Yuan agreed! The English version of "The Outsider" will be handed over to us!"
Hales clapped his hands excitedly and said, "That's right! Once the contract is signed, we'll start printing immediately!"
"Editor-in-Chief, how many copies shall we print this time?"
"Hmm... Judging from the sales of the works shortlisted for the Guli Gold Award, let's print 15 copies first!"
"Good editor!"
The English version of "The Outsider" was published, and Qi Yuan handed it over to Foreign Language Publishing House.
As for the Chinese version, it is naturally the old friend Yinhe Publishing House.
Yinhe Publishing House naturally does not refuse anyone who comes to Qi Yuan's works!
In other words, even if what Qi Yuan publishes is a piece of shit, Yinhe Publishing House can print flowers for it!
soon.
"The Outsider" was released simultaneously in China and the Beautiful Country!
……
……
beautiful country.
The home of Muhammad, the winner of the Gulle Gold Medal this time.
He is a middle-aged man in his 40s, with a tall build and a black frame.
He was sitting in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows with a cup of coffee in hand.
He is holding a book in his hand.
It was The Outsider.
As an excellent best-selling author, Muhammad read widely.
He only heard about Qi Yuan's name at the Guli Gold Award this time.
Especially after learning about Qi Yuan's achievements in the publishing industry in Huaguo.
Mohammed became even more curious about Qi Yuan's works!
So he bought Qi Yuan's works already published by Pretty Country, "Sherlock Holmes" and "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy".
In a week, he finished reading these works.
Shocked!
He even tweeted directly, praising Qi Yuan's work.
So today, after the book "The Outsider" was published, he bought the English version for the first time and read it intoxicated!
The story of "The Outsider" is actually relatively simple.
The story is a simple line without twists and turns.
It simply tells the whole story of a murder case.
The protagonist Meursault is a person who has an indifferent attitude towards all aspects of life.
After an unintentional impulsive killing, he was sentenced by the court to be beheaded for public display.
But therein lies the absurdity of this story.
The court did not judge him on the basis of the actions of his murderer.
It's that he didn't cry at his mother's funeral.
Mohammad read "The Stranger" in one sitting until the sun went down.
After closing the scroll, his eyes flickered.
In this book, what Qi Yuan wants to express, he likes it very much.
Countless thoughts collided in his mind.
He opened Twitter and edited his most authentic thoughts after reading the book for the first time at the moment.
"Just finished The Outsider, it's a great book.
"I believe that many readers who have finished reading this book will feel the same for Meursault.
"I will feel like an outsider who is free from this world, lonely and lonely.
"Eat and sleep, work and play every day.
"Every day is a monotonous and boring life.
"Meursault's mantra is 'anything goes' 'whatever' 'it doesn't matter' 'you decide'.
"In our present, the class is solidified, the pressure of survival, the room for improvement of the younger generation is constantly compressed, and many people have become a generation that lies flat.
"Everyone is no longer exuberant.
"Intermittently complacent, persistently eating and waiting to die.
"Everyone gradually loses their fighting spirit in the ordinary life.
"Apply the most expensive mask, stay up late, chase the longest drama at night.
"Life seems to be like this, just muddle along.
"But if you have read "The Outsider" carefully, you will know that the real absurdity is not the lack of progress in life and the groaning of pain.
"It just allows you to love life and bask in the sun after seeing the absurd background of life clearly.
This book deserves a Guli Gold Award! "
This is a compliment from the winner of the 25th Guli Gold Award.
Soon, it caused quite a stir on Twitter.
"???? Just this broken book written by the Chinese?"
"My brother, there is something wrong with your recent taste? Although you won an award, you shouldn't compare your work with this rubbish Huaguo novel, you know?"
"I also just finished reading The Outsider, which is a very good novel. I agree with Teacher Muhammad's opinion.
"Where is the absurdity in our society? I personally think that for thousands of years, the lives of the masses have nurtured a relatively single value system.
"This system has its own moral standards and rules of conduct. It is very, very strong, and it is difficult for people to break! In the eyes of the public, you must study, you must work to earn money, you must marry, and you must have children! But how many people are really insiders? How many outsiders like Meursault?"
"The Outsider is a really good book!"
"You actually said that this book should win the Guli Gold Award? Hahaha! Aren't you slapping the organizers in the face? You know, they just awarded you this award!"
After the book "The Outsider" was published in the beautiful country, it quickly became popular.
Soon, it caused quite a reaction in the entire European and American world!
Foreign Language Publishing House.
Everyone is very busy.
The phone calls throughout the office never stopped.
"What? Louder? Huh? Where are you? Okay! Three thousand copies of "The Outsider"? OK!"
"How much? 2000 volumes? No problem!"
"Sold out again? Why so fast?!"
"Yes, yes, this is the Foreign Languages Publishing House!"
Hales looked at the busy working status of the entire publishing house, his eyes were shining.
In the past few days, the sales of "The Outsider" have become more and more popular.
Its sales also exceeded one million copies!
You know, this is the sales volume of a Chinese writer in a beautiful country!
Such a result is very, very good!
Although everyone in the publishing house is tired, they are super happy!
And at the same time.
The sales of "The Outsider" in China are also rising steadily!
One week after it was launched, there have been more than 50 people on Hu Douban, giving this book a super high score of 9 points!
"Morality condemns you to death, philosophy proves your innocence!"
"In fact, the essence of many people is the same as that of the male protagonist. It's just that the male protagonist doesn't know how to play a role that can meet the needs of society and what the public wants to see.
"The torrent of homogenization in the entire society today cannot accommodate such a person who releases himself as he pleases.
"He was so blunt and honest! He didn't show the pained remorse that those who judged him wanted to see.
"Because he failed to satisfy their desire to control, he was brutally killed.
"This desire to control is euphemistically called morality."
"This book, better than 'The Sun', deserves a Guri Gold Award - from Muhammad!"
"Qi Yuan, you are really a genius! I love this book! It seems that this book is about me!"
Outsiders are fully blooming in China, Europe and the United States!
This achievement was beyond Qi Yuan's expectation.
Amidst the heated discussion among readers, Qi Yuan also posted on Weibo:
"To the world, I will always be a stranger. I don't understand its language, it doesn't understand my silence, what we exchange is just a little contempt, just like meeting in a mirror."
This sentence comes from a poem by the former poet Bei Dao.
Used at this moment, the atmosphere is just right.
When the readers were finishing the book and had an intracranial orgasm crazily, they were even more excited when they saw Qi Yuan's blog post.
"Ahhh! "The Outsider" is really a legacy of the Guli Gold Award!"
"This book is really worth it!"
"How do I feel that Qi Yuan has been hacked by the arrogance of the Western world? Isn't such a book better than "The Sun"?"
"It is indeed better than "The Sun", haha! Even the author of "The Sun" ran out to tweet!"
"Damn! Go guys! Go check out Twitter!"
The mighty Huaguo readers have reached the official Twitter of the Guli Gold Award.
"We don't ask for anything else, please announce which book each judge voted for!"
"Yes, we want to check tickets!"
"We have the right to suspect that you are engaging in shady activities!"
"The Outsider" was released on the tenth day.
The sales volume of its English version has broken through the 500 million mark!
Under pressure, the official Twitter of the Guli Gold Award was posted.
"Gu Lijin's book was voted by many gentlemen and ladies with high reputation in the literary world, and the result is absolutely fair and just. "The Outsider" is indeed a good book, so it was selected as one of the 30 books this time. Checklist!"
"????"
"Is it a joke?"
"We're saying this book deserves an award, not a finalist!!"
Those condemned under this tweet are basically Huaguo readers.
But soon readers from the European and American circles came out to fight back!
"Hahaha! You can't eat grapes and say the grapes are sour, right? If you don't win the prize, you don't win the prize! Hold on!"
"Are you people from Huaguo so tolerant? Don't think that Mohammed's modest words on Twitter, you really think that Qi Yuan's "The Outsider" can win the Guli Gold Award, right?"
"It's really funny! The Guli Gold Award is a global literary award second only to the Olmers Award!! Some people are questioning its fairness and justice? Is this the narrow national self-confidence of the Chinese people?"
"Everyone has overlooked a problem. This Qi Yuan has a lot of fans in Huaguo. In their country, he can make troubles by relying on his own brainless fans! But when he comes to our place, he has no choice! He just showed his original shape!"
"What kind of thing is Qi Yuan? If he can win the Guli Gold Award...then this award is a piece of rubbish that even a dog can get! Thank you to our organizing committee for sticking to your own bottom line!"
The war of words on Twitter intensified between the two sides.
soon.
There are European and American bigwigs coming to an end.
Prancid, the editor-in-chief of the New York Daily News, posted.
"I have watched all the 30 works shortlisted for the Guli Gold Award. Most of them are very good works. There is only one, which is "The Outsider". I don't know if it is because the Guli Gold Award wants to It was the popularity of this book in China that allowed this book to be shortlisted. But what I want to say here is that this book is the worst among the works that have been shortlisted in recent sessions!"
Bessie Keynes, the boss of Bessie Media, one of the top ten media companies in the beautiful country, also posted a post.
"What is in the minds of the people of Huaguo? The protagonist of this "Outsider" didn't even feel sad at his mother's funeral! Is such a protagonist really human? To be more straightforward, this The author Qi Yuan, what kind of dark things are hidden deep in his heart?"
Soon, Clyde, the chairman of the Guli Gold Award, also posted a message.
"I noticed that readers from Huaguo recently questioned our Guli Gold Award. Many netizens are helping us to speak up. In fact, everyone is a book lover, so there is no need to be so hostile.
"Really good works, we leave it to the public to comment!
"Everything, let time test it!"
The day Clyde posted the article was the No. 15 day when The Outsider was released.
And the sales volume of its English version has broken through the terrifying 1000 million!
And at this time, the sales of this book show no sign of stagnation.
Even because of its intense discussion on the whole network.
The growth rate of sales is rising steadily!
"The Outsider" is on the 20th day of its release.
Its sales have successfully broken through the 3000 million mark!
Day 21!
Its sales volume directly surpassed the cumulative sales volume of "The Sun" for the Guli Gold Award this time, breaking through 3300 million copies!
Such terrifying sales data shocked the jaws of the entire Beautiful Country!
Sales and word of mouth, it seems that there is no match at all!
On Twitter, "The Outsider" seems to have been classified as trash fiction.
But its sales are getting higher and higher every day!
Clyde's tweet below.
The readers of Huaguo ridiculed frantically.
"Hahahaha! Have you seen the sales volume of "The Outsider"? Has it surpassed your "Sun"? (Manual dog head)"
"Brothers, let's... let time tell! Hahaha!"
"I said you are an idiot! You have no objection!"
"If you don't give an award, you won't give it! Do you think that Qi Yuan is very rare for your broken award?"
"As far as the sales of "The Outsider" is concerned, which one of you has slapped you in the face! Hahahaha! I laughed so hard!"
(End of this chapter)
Huaguo's Literary and Art Society Association once had an anonymous voting interview with artists in Huaguo's showbiz circle.
The question is very simple, why do you like to stay in this circle.
Because it is anonymous, everyone answered honestly.
The No.1 answer is naturally high income.
The No.2 answer is also relatively popular: because of the high exposure rate of this industry.
Many people in this industry just enjoy the feeling of being watched by thousands of people in front of the spotlight.
This business, to a certain extent, is similar to a certain nature of the emperor.
Artists in the fan base can fully enjoy the feeling of being echoed by everyone.
Just post a selfie on Weibo, and fans will give you a thumbs up.
No matter how dark the heart is, it is almost possible to engage in concubine selection and the like.
Under the spotlight, it gathers the focus and magnifies all human nature.
……
Gu Hongli held the microphone and stood under the spotlight.
Neon flashes.
Countless pairs of eyes at the scene fell on her exquisite and perfect face.
The top instruments sounded.
Gu Hongli spoke softly.
"Who doesn't have some unforgettable things, who can predict the consequences..."
"Who doesn't have some old hatred demons, a little bit of unintentional mistakes..."
With a smile on the corner of Gu Hongli's mouth, he sang very gently.
At this time, there was a breeze blowing in.
With the faint coolness of early summer, Gu Hongli's gentle singing touched everyone's heartstrings.
The pitch of the song is not high.
No skill is even required.
But from Gu Hongli's mouth, it sounds so comfortable and intoxicating.
So... It's haunting.
The audience at the scene closed their eyes one after another.
I was immersed in Gu Hongli's beautiful singing voice.
"Live happily, don't hold grudges, sing a song for today's laughter..."
A really good song is so touching.
The barrage is obsessed.
"It's the first time I've heard carp sing in Cantonese!"
"Although, hahaha, Carp's Cantonese is not that standard, but this song is really nice, right?"
"Mom! The smile of the carp just now, I am lost!"
"Mom! I feel Qi Yuan's happiness!"
"This should be the purest good song, right? It doesn't require any skills, and touching people with emotion is the best music!"
"Carp's Cantonese is not taught by Qi Yuan, is it?"
The filming scene of "Cruise of Horrors".
On a huge projection screen, the Infinite Song Festival is being played.
All the hundreds of staff members at the scene watched intently.
Qi Yuan tenderly looked at the generously radiant Gu Hongli on the screen, with water patterns flowing in the mist.
The camera cuts to the singers backstage.
Gu Qingcheng applauded for the camera.
Liu Chengye shook his head slightly, apparently enjoying the music very much.
Bai Xue's dress tonight is not convenient for sitting.
So she stood in front of the camera, watching Gu Hongli's performance intently.
Gu Hongli's song ended.
Amidst the applause of the audience, Qingqing came up with a card in her hand.
After singing "Looking at the Wind and Cloud with a Laugh", Gu Hongli's face was neither red nor heartbeat.
"Teacher Liyu, you sang this song so gently!" Qingqing said with a smile while pulling Gu Hongli's wrist.
Gu Hongli also smiled, looked at the audience, and said, "Because the person who wrote this song is very gentle!"
Immediately there was booing at the scene.
"Wow! Showing affection again!"
"Sister! Show affection, share it quickly!"
"Don't say it, I just love to watch Qi Yuan and Gu Hongli show their affection!"
"These two are really clear streams in the entertainment industry, they are not monsters at all! Love love love love!"
"Mom! I want to kill this pair of CPs!"
Qingqing continued to participate in the interview: "In the past few episodes, the works of Yuancheng Film and Television that participated in the Unlimited Ballad Festival were all the lyrics and music of Teacher Qi Yuan, and tonight is no exception. And we all know one thing, that is, you and Qi Yuan The teacher is a classmate in college. And when Teacher Qi Yuan was in college, he had already started to compose. So here comes the question, has Qi Yuan written a song for you?"
Qingqing's question seemed to have touched Gu Hongli's heart.
She pursed her lips, as if thinking of something extremely happy, she burst out laughing: "Indeed, but this song belongs to me alone. It was written for me when he was a freshman, right? Over the years, I don’t know how many times I’ve listened to it!”
There was a scream of wah wah wah.
The barrage is even more crazy.
"Fuck!! Breaking news!"
"Kill the dog! Kill the dog!"
"Wow! Did anyone take a screenshot of that moment when Carp laughed? It's so beautiful!! My heart can't stand it!"
"I don't know if Qi Yuan can bear such a carp!"
"It's too much! This is tricking the dog into killing it!"
"As compensation, I think Liyu should release this song so that we can all listen to it! How good is this song that makes Gu Hongli look so happy!"
Crew of "Cruise of Horrors".
Everyone burst out laughing when they heard Gu Hongli say that.
Then everyone looked at Qi Yuan and started joking.
"My dear! Freshman year! Director Qi was only 18 at that time, right? Is he that good at flirting? Woohoo, not like me! I'm still a virgin now!"
"Director Qi is so good-looking, so talented, and so flirtatious, no wonder Mr. Li Yu is deeply involved in it!"
"It's unbelievable! So there is such a story! Hahaha!"
Qi Yuan was a little embarrassed by everyone's ridicule. He waved his hand and said, "It's alright, alright, let's start work! There is still a play tonight! I want to stay up all night!"
Gu Hongli stood on the stage, staring at the commentaries' comments seriously.
Holding the lyrics list in his hand, Jiao Wenfang said earnestly: "Qi Yuan's lyrics, I will never get tired of reading them. This time, I especially like every line of "Laughing at the Wind and Cloud"! People say that it is difficult to write without experiencing suffering." The lyrics are touching! But Qi Yuan is indeed a genius, such lyrics, just like the last "Song of Ordinary People", come at your fingertips! I really envy this talent!"
Gu Hongli was more happy to hear Kua Qiyuan's comment than to hear Kua herself, and grinned.
Liu Shiyi said: "I really like your performance tonight, it's like a person who has gone through the world, looking back at his past, the kind of calm and breezy, this feeling fits perfectly with this song , I like it very much. Full marks!"
"Thank you, Teacher Liu."
"Old Things" said: "If the lyrics are 95 points, I think the melody of this song is 70 points, which is quite different from Gu Qingcheng's song tonight! I don't mean anything else, carp, I just have something say what!"
The live broadcast cut to Gu Qingcheng in the background in a timely manner.
The words of "Old Things" are completely putting her on the shelf.
That's why Gu Qingcheng's expression at this moment looks a little awkward.
Not laughing, not smiling.
After listening to the comments of "Old Things", Gu Hongli nodded slightly and said, "It's natural, a song cannot be liked by everyone."
Gu Hongli's performance part is over.
She was very satisfied with her performance tonight.
She lifted her skirt, returned to the backstage, and began to wait for the people behind to perform.
As soon as he returned to the backstage, the news of Gu Siji came.
"The song you mentioned is "Angel"?"
Gu Hongli sent a smiling expression in the past.
Then Gu Siji did not reply to the message.
The program progressed quickly, and soon came to the final link.
All the guests were invited to the stage.
The live broadcast is currently running commercials.
There are still 3 minutes left to vote.
The 24 singers spoke in low voices on stage.
"Red carp, your singing tonight is so soft and soft, so comfortable!"
"Thank you!"
"Red Carp, to be honest! When your husband is free, you must write me a song! I really like the ten songs you Yuancheng performed at the Unlimited Song Festival! I have been thinking many times, How nice it would be if I sang one of the songs!"
"Brother, why don't you join our Yuancheng Film and Television? Qi Yuan is alone, and he must be the one who first satisfies our company!"
Bai Xue stood in the center of the stage, very quiet.
When someone spoke to her, she responded in a neutral manner.
Tonight is the first time she has come to the stage of Infinity Song Festival.
She is also very confident in the repertoire she performs.
The arrangement of the whole song is relatively retro.
The result in her heart is the top three.
Gu Qingcheng stood next to Gu Hongli.
Hearing the conversation from the side, she didn't show any expression.
Indeed, if he also has a Qi Yuan, wouldn't he just kill people randomly on this stage?Even rampage in the Chinese music scene?
This Gu Hongli looks just average, right?
At most, split [-]-[-] with yourself.
But why does she have such good luck?To find such a super excellent husband like Qi Yuan?
But fortunately.
My song tonight, Gu Qingcheng, is good enough.
This is a good song that I worked so hard to get.
A good song that surprised all the producers of Tianhao.
Can't you get the first place tonight?
Gu Qingcheng thought so.
Qingqing has already started announcing the rankings.
Bai Xue ninth.
Gu Qingcheng is second.
Gu Hongli was first.
Yuancheng Film and Television, won the Unlimited Ballad Festival, eleven consecutive championships!
Hearing the news that he was second, there was only one feeling in Gu Qingcheng's mind.
That is dizzying.
How can it be?This song of mine can't beat the "Laughing at the Wind and Cloud", which has no skill at first and no high pitch?
In Gu Qingcheng's little head, this question kept flickering, she thought for a long time but couldn't figure it out.
And the biggest surprise of the night.
That's Snow White's ranking.
As the top singer in Huaguo, she has appeared in the finale of major evening shows all year round.
She appeared on the stage of Infinity Music Festival for the first time, but she only got the No.9 result?
When the result came out, it wasn't just Bai Xue who couldn't believe it.
On the Internet, countless viewers felt a little unbelievable.
"Is it fake? I think Bai Xue's performance tonight is very good!"
"Uh... I think everyone's votes are more telling! The arrangement of Bai Xue's song tonight is a bit too old-fashioned! Those who don't know it think they are listening to a song from 30 years ago!"
"How should I put it? It's not that Bai Xue's performance is not good, but... on this kind of competitive stage, either you can show off your skills to the extreme, soar high notes crazily, and sing coloratura! Or you can move people with emotion. Wan Gu Hongli's championship is the best proof!"
"I don't think it's fake at all! We all know Bai Xue's achievements! But if this stage has always been ranked by achievements, then our Chinese music ceiling teacher Liu Chengye, wouldn't he be the champion every time?"
"It's a good story upstairs!"
Unlimited Song Festival No. 11 is over.
Naturally hung up on the hot search.
"Mom! Every time the song festival is over, I can predict what will be on the trending list! "Shock! Yuancheng Films and Television Completed the Unlimited Song Festival × Consecutive Achievement"!"
"Hahahaha! Upstairs, are you going to laugh at me to death?"
"But...haha, it seems that there is nothing wrong with what you said!"
Infinite Song Festival, a program that has lasted for a year, finally, there is only the last episode left.
And with this program, apart from the 24 companies participating in the program, they made a lot of money.
Most of the singers who appeared on the stage have gained a lot of popularity.
Among them, the one who benefited the most is Mu An.
Although in the No.11 period, he has been replaced by Zhen Hao.
But this not only did not make Mu An lose fans.
Zhen Hao's operation has instead become a means of abusing fans.
This made Mu An's fans more united.
They even posted an entry on Weibo saying "I feel sorry for Mu An".
Go in a little bit, and the latest comments are all mocking Zhen Hao and Bai Xue.
"Hahahaha! Tonight's result is really satisfying!"
"Substitution? Substitution? So what?"
"No.9?? Is this the result of the substitution? I love it!"
"Aren't Zhen Xing's executives out of their minds? Mu An's performance in the Unlimited Ballad Festival is getting better and better! It can be said that according to this progress, the 11th issue should be ranked first! But the executives actually Picked him up?"
"Pure passerby! I ate Mu An's melon today, so I came here to laugh at you! Hahaha!"
"I really want to see Boss Zhen Xing's expression now!"
"I don't know if Mu An is happy! Anyway, I am happy!"
……
Zhen Xing.
It is already late at night.
But the company still has a lot of people.
As soon as tonight's game ended, there were a lot of bad comments about the company on the Internet.
Everyone is working overtime nervously!
Zhen Hao holds the coffee and stands in front of the window.
The assistant asked from the side: "Sister Zhen, there are a lot of negative news about us on the Internet!"
Zhen Hao still has a big heart. Although Bai Xue's achievements tonight are indeed a bit beyond everyone's expectations, they are not completely hopeless!
"Find more marketing accounts!"
"No problem! Sister Xue's agent called just now, and I said you are in a meeting."
"What did she ask me for? An apology? Bai Xue is in front of the stage, and our entire Zhen Xing is behind the scenes! The ninth this time is our entire Zhen Xing!"
Zhen Hao's voice became a little sharper, making the assistant afraid to speak.
……
Three in the morning.
Qi Yuan dragged his tired body back home.
Although he was filming in Xidu, if he was afraid that the filming would be late, Qi Yuan would just sleep in the hotel and would not come back to disturb the rest of Gu Hongli's mother and daughter.
But today is different.
Gu Hongli just won the championship, Qi Yuan must come back to encourage him!
In the dim light.
Gu Hongli drank some water, and rolled her eyes at Qi Yuan: "Obviously I won the championship tonight, why is it you who got the reward!"
The flavor of love is strong here.
Qi Yuan Anyi laughed heartily.
"Why did you expose the existence of "Angel" today? Didn't you say that you want to listen to it forever!" Qi Yuan suddenly thought of something and asked.
Gu Hongli put her head on Qi Yuan's shoulder, and said in a stuttering way: "Actually, I have always had an idea. When we retire, I will publish "Angel" and let the whole society witness our beauty!"
Qi Yuan pinched Gu Hongli's face, and said, "Why are you so sure that we can live forever?"
Gu Hongli immediately stood up, tilted her head, and said, "What do you want to do?"
Qi Yuan was given an imposing but charming stare by Gu Hongli,
……
……
The final voting results for the Beautiful Country Guli Gold Award have come out.
The 30 shortlisted works, after anonymous voting by many judges, finally produced the only one this year!
Chairman Clyde and the three persons in charge of this year's selection looked at the final results together and looked at each other in blank dismay.
No.1, Qi Yuan's "The Outsider".
No.2, Muhammad's "The Sun".
"Holy shit! This result..."
"How could it be that "The Outsider" won the first place?"
"This is a Chinese?! Are we really going to award him this year's Guli Gold Award?"
"No! This is a beautiful country!"
"Although this Qi Yuan is indeed a very popular best-selling author in China! When we announced that he was shortlisted, the Guli Gold Award was very popular in China! But let him be the first one directly. It's ridiculous to be shortlisted for the first time and win an award!"
"Chairman, what do you think?"
The four of them were silent for a moment, then lit their cigars and took a few puffs.
When the room was filled with smoke, Clyde spoke slowly: "The reason why I added the book "The Outsider" to the 30 checklist was not because of how good the book itself is. It's because, we Qi Yuan’s influence in China is needed to promote the influence of our Guli Gold Award in China. So far, the results are still very good. Many ordinary people in Hua country know the existence of the Guli Gold Award.”
"Chairman, what do you mean?"
"What does the chairman mean... At the beginning, we all agreed that the quality of the novel "The Outsider" is actually for promotion..."
"That's right...that's what happened!"
three days later.
The works that won the 25th Guli Gold Award were officially announced on the official website!
Because Qi Yuan was shortlisted, many Huaguo readers are also looking forward to it.
Everyone is looking forward to seeing if Qi Yuan will create a miracle!
But the end result was a little disappointing for everyone!
The winner of the Guli Gold Award this time is "The Sun" by the best-selling novelist Muhammad in the beautiful country!
On the Internet, everyone is talking about it!
"I just read the Chinese version of "The Sun" last month. It is indeed a very warm story! No wonder the cumulative sales abroad have exceeded 3000 million copies! Such a book is really worth it!"
"Oh! It's such a pity! Qi Yuan was a little short in the end! But it's already super good! Being shortlisted for the Guli Gold Award, this is the first step for us Hua people! I believe that in the future, there will always be someone who can Got this award!"
"Indeed! The road is taken step by step! With Qi Yuan's works exploring the way for us in front, it should be easier for our writers' works to go abroad in the future, right?"
"Actually, Qi Yuan's works such as "Sherlock Holmes", "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" and so on are all selling well abroad!"
"By the way...Qi Yuan won't be like Li Jiujiu's "The Second Under Heaven" without award-winning works, so he won't release them right away?"
"Probably not? I'm particularly interested in the title of the book "Outsider" alone!"
The results are announced.
It's not that perfect though.
But in fact, it is also expected by many people.
A novel written by a Chinese, went to participate in a foreign selection.
Although this selection is global, it is non-discriminatory.
But from Qi Yuan's representative works, especially the "5000 Years" series.
Qi Yuan's writing is deeply rooted in the soil of Huaguo culture.
The cultural atmosphere on both sides is different.
Therefore, it is understandable that he did not win this year's Guli Gold Award. No one would think that this matter should not be done.
Although for this matter, readers think very openly.But the mood of everyone urging the new book is impatient.
Everyone flocked to Qi Yuan's Weibo, begging to publish a new book.
"How long has it been since the end of "Secret"? Hurry up! Now that the selection for the Guli Gold Award is over, hurry up and publish this book!"
"A book written in blood by one person, begging for the publication of "The Outsider"!"
"Don't rush! Since "Outsider" participated in Gu Lijin's selection, it must be written in English. Even if it is published at this time, can you understand English?"
"Ah... this Bengbu is live!"
"Qi Yuan Qi Yuan, hurry up! Stop filming! It's important to write a book!"
After the official announcement of the Guli Gold Award, the reaction of the entire industry was quick.
In the beautiful country, many publishing houses have begun to contact the relevant authors.
Needless to say, Muhammad's award-winning work "The Sun".
The book has long been published.
So many publishing houses are focusing their attention on shortlisted books like "The Outsider" that have not yet been published!
This is the Guli Gold Award!
Even if it is shortlisted, then its publication is completely profitable!
Many publishing houses wanted to contact Qi Yuan.
But unfortunately, Qi Yuan could not be contacted.
……
The editor-in-chief of Foreign Languages Publishing House, Hales, stood proudly in front of the staff.
"Editor-in-Chief, you are so far-sighted! You actually know that "The Outsider" can be shortlisted for the Guli Gold Award!"
Hailes raised his chin slightly and said proudly: "That's natural, this is the work of Qi Yuan, a best-selling author in Huaguo! But to be honest, the reason why I chose to push this book over is entirely because of this book. The quality is really great!"
"The boss is indeed a wise eye!"
"The boss is awesome!"
"Editor-in-Chief, what exactly is "The Outsider" about? I'm so curious!"
Hales was immediately stopped by this question.
What content?
How did he know?
The organizing committee that pushed "The Outsider" to the Guli Gold Award was just to sell Qi Yuan's favor!
He has never read this book at all!
But who knew that Qi Yuan was actually shortlisted for this year's Guli Gold Award with this book!
This is an unprecedented achievement of the Chinese people!
The sales volume of this book in the beautiful country may not be high!
But the sales in China will definitely explode!
"I can't tell you this! It's a secret! You can buy it when "The Outsider" is published!" Hales replied.
"Boss, can we really get the publishing rights of "The Outsider"?"
"Don't worry! It's not a big problem!"
Hailes was chatting with everyone, a staff member rushed over excitedly, and said loudly: "It's done! Qi Yuan agreed! The English version of "The Outsider" will be handed over to us!"
Hales clapped his hands excitedly and said, "That's right! Once the contract is signed, we'll start printing immediately!"
"Editor-in-Chief, how many copies shall we print this time?"
"Hmm... Judging from the sales of the works shortlisted for the Guli Gold Award, let's print 15 copies first!"
"Good editor!"
The English version of "The Outsider" was published, and Qi Yuan handed it over to Foreign Language Publishing House.
As for the Chinese version, it is naturally the old friend Yinhe Publishing House.
Yinhe Publishing House naturally does not refuse anyone who comes to Qi Yuan's works!
In other words, even if what Qi Yuan publishes is a piece of shit, Yinhe Publishing House can print flowers for it!
soon.
"The Outsider" was released simultaneously in China and the Beautiful Country!
……
……
beautiful country.
The home of Muhammad, the winner of the Gulle Gold Medal this time.
He is a middle-aged man in his 40s, with a tall build and a black frame.
He was sitting in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows with a cup of coffee in hand.
He is holding a book in his hand.
It was The Outsider.
As an excellent best-selling author, Muhammad read widely.
He only heard about Qi Yuan's name at the Guli Gold Award this time.
Especially after learning about Qi Yuan's achievements in the publishing industry in Huaguo.
Mohammed became even more curious about Qi Yuan's works!
So he bought Qi Yuan's works already published by Pretty Country, "Sherlock Holmes" and "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy".
In a week, he finished reading these works.
Shocked!
He even tweeted directly, praising Qi Yuan's work.
So today, after the book "The Outsider" was published, he bought the English version for the first time and read it intoxicated!
The story of "The Outsider" is actually relatively simple.
The story is a simple line without twists and turns.
It simply tells the whole story of a murder case.
The protagonist Meursault is a person who has an indifferent attitude towards all aspects of life.
After an unintentional impulsive killing, he was sentenced by the court to be beheaded for public display.
But therein lies the absurdity of this story.
The court did not judge him on the basis of the actions of his murderer.
It's that he didn't cry at his mother's funeral.
Mohammad read "The Stranger" in one sitting until the sun went down.
After closing the scroll, his eyes flickered.
In this book, what Qi Yuan wants to express, he likes it very much.
Countless thoughts collided in his mind.
He opened Twitter and edited his most authentic thoughts after reading the book for the first time at the moment.
"Just finished The Outsider, it's a great book.
"I believe that many readers who have finished reading this book will feel the same for Meursault.
"I will feel like an outsider who is free from this world, lonely and lonely.
"Eat and sleep, work and play every day.
"Every day is a monotonous and boring life.
"Meursault's mantra is 'anything goes' 'whatever' 'it doesn't matter' 'you decide'.
"In our present, the class is solidified, the pressure of survival, the room for improvement of the younger generation is constantly compressed, and many people have become a generation that lies flat.
"Everyone is no longer exuberant.
"Intermittently complacent, persistently eating and waiting to die.
"Everyone gradually loses their fighting spirit in the ordinary life.
"Apply the most expensive mask, stay up late, chase the longest drama at night.
"Life seems to be like this, just muddle along.
"But if you have read "The Outsider" carefully, you will know that the real absurdity is not the lack of progress in life and the groaning of pain.
"It just allows you to love life and bask in the sun after seeing the absurd background of life clearly.
This book deserves a Guli Gold Award! "
This is a compliment from the winner of the 25th Guli Gold Award.
Soon, it caused quite a stir on Twitter.
"???? Just this broken book written by the Chinese?"
"My brother, there is something wrong with your recent taste? Although you won an award, you shouldn't compare your work with this rubbish Huaguo novel, you know?"
"I also just finished reading The Outsider, which is a very good novel. I agree with Teacher Muhammad's opinion.
"Where is the absurdity in our society? I personally think that for thousands of years, the lives of the masses have nurtured a relatively single value system.
"This system has its own moral standards and rules of conduct. It is very, very strong, and it is difficult for people to break! In the eyes of the public, you must study, you must work to earn money, you must marry, and you must have children! But how many people are really insiders? How many outsiders like Meursault?"
"The Outsider is a really good book!"
"You actually said that this book should win the Guli Gold Award? Hahaha! Aren't you slapping the organizers in the face? You know, they just awarded you this award!"
After the book "The Outsider" was published in the beautiful country, it quickly became popular.
Soon, it caused quite a reaction in the entire European and American world!
Foreign Language Publishing House.
Everyone is very busy.
The phone calls throughout the office never stopped.
"What? Louder? Huh? Where are you? Okay! Three thousand copies of "The Outsider"? OK!"
"How much? 2000 volumes? No problem!"
"Sold out again? Why so fast?!"
"Yes, yes, this is the Foreign Languages Publishing House!"
Hales looked at the busy working status of the entire publishing house, his eyes were shining.
In the past few days, the sales of "The Outsider" have become more and more popular.
Its sales also exceeded one million copies!
You know, this is the sales volume of a Chinese writer in a beautiful country!
Such a result is very, very good!
Although everyone in the publishing house is tired, they are super happy!
And at the same time.
The sales of "The Outsider" in China are also rising steadily!
One week after it was launched, there have been more than 50 people on Hu Douban, giving this book a super high score of 9 points!
"Morality condemns you to death, philosophy proves your innocence!"
"In fact, the essence of many people is the same as that of the male protagonist. It's just that the male protagonist doesn't know how to play a role that can meet the needs of society and what the public wants to see.
"The torrent of homogenization in the entire society today cannot accommodate such a person who releases himself as he pleases.
"He was so blunt and honest! He didn't show the pained remorse that those who judged him wanted to see.
"Because he failed to satisfy their desire to control, he was brutally killed.
"This desire to control is euphemistically called morality."
"This book, better than 'The Sun', deserves a Guri Gold Award - from Muhammad!"
"Qi Yuan, you are really a genius! I love this book! It seems that this book is about me!"
Outsiders are fully blooming in China, Europe and the United States!
This achievement was beyond Qi Yuan's expectation.
Amidst the heated discussion among readers, Qi Yuan also posted on Weibo:
"To the world, I will always be a stranger. I don't understand its language, it doesn't understand my silence, what we exchange is just a little contempt, just like meeting in a mirror."
This sentence comes from a poem by the former poet Bei Dao.
Used at this moment, the atmosphere is just right.
When the readers were finishing the book and had an intracranial orgasm crazily, they were even more excited when they saw Qi Yuan's blog post.
"Ahhh! "The Outsider" is really a legacy of the Guli Gold Award!"
"This book is really worth it!"
"How do I feel that Qi Yuan has been hacked by the arrogance of the Western world? Isn't such a book better than "The Sun"?"
"It is indeed better than "The Sun", haha! Even the author of "The Sun" ran out to tweet!"
"Damn! Go guys! Go check out Twitter!"
The mighty Huaguo readers have reached the official Twitter of the Guli Gold Award.
"We don't ask for anything else, please announce which book each judge voted for!"
"Yes, we want to check tickets!"

"????"
"Is it a joke?"
"We're saying this book deserves an award, not a finalist!!"

"Hahaha! You can't eat grapes and say the grapes are sour, right? If you don't win the prize, you don't win the prize! Hold on!"
"Are you people from Huaguo so tolerant? Don't think that Mohammed's modest words on Twitter, you really think that Qi Yuan's "The Outsider" can win the Guli Gold Award, right?"
"It's really funny! The Guli Gold Award is a global literary award second only to the Olmers Award!! Some people are questioning its fairness and justice? Is this the narrow national self-confidence of the Chinese people?"
"Everyone has overlooked a problem. This Qi Yuan has a lot of fans in Huaguo. In their country, he can make troubles by relying on his own brainless fans! But when he comes to our place, he has no choice! He just showed his original shape!"

"What is in the minds of the people of Huaguo? The protagonist of this "Outsider" didn't even feel sad at his mother's funeral! Is such a protagonist really human? To be more straightforward, this The author Qi Yuan, what kind of dark things are hidden deep in his heart?"
Soon, Clyde, the chairman of the Guli Gold Award, also posted a message.
