Chapter 509 Book "Golden Tripod Award" in Advance

People's Publishing House, in the office.

All the heads of departments in the club have already taken their seats and are looking at the door expectantly.

Creaking, the door opened, and the 50-year-old president walked in with the contract in his hand, excitedly said: "The contract has been signed, and we have obtained the exclusive copyright among the five major publishing houses."

Whoa!
There was applause everywhere.

"great!"

"Just after the new year, we signed a blockbuster work, happy new year!"

"Normally speaking, the sales volume of popular works must be several times higher than that of academic works, and this is Li Fan's work, my mother-in-law!"

"I boldly estimate that the sales volume will be 400 million, and 500 million will not be a big problem!"

……

While everyone was laughing and talking, the president took his seat and said: "Because it is during the annual vacation, many people here have not read the manuscript of this book, so I will briefly introduce this book.

The book "Flying Wings and High" is the literary work with the strangest writing style, the most absurd plot, the strongest black humor and the most charming language that I have ever seen.

I have never seen such a strong personal style in the market. Mr. Li told me that his book should be classified as absurd literature. "

Everyone was shocked and didn't understand.

"President, what is absurd literature, we have never heard of it!"

"Wouldn't it be Li Fan who created it himself?"

"Yes, Mr. Li has created a unique writing style," the president opened the printed manuscript of "Flying Wings and High", found the preface, and then started from a certain paragraph and read it line by line Dao, "Absurd literature, as the name suggests, is to use absurd techniques to express the absurdity of society and human existence, through exaggeration, symbols, metaphors and other techniques... This is the so-called absurd literature."

After reading the interpretation of absurd literature in the book, the president said: "For the book "Flying Wings", I will give you a brief introduction to the story. As for the printed manuscript of the book, I have asked Xiao Wang to bind it.

In this book, a beautiful 15-year-old girl wakes up one morning and finds that two thin delicate wings have grown from her back. She can even control the flapping of the wings, but she cannot fly.She turned into a monster.

In the summer, she wore a thick coat and went to school with anxiety and low self-esteem...

One night, when she was looking at the stars on the balcony, a baby fell straight down from the stairs. She immediately stretched out her hands to support the little life, but her whole body was also affected and she fell downstairs. In desperation, , the wings broke through the clothes, flapped vigorously, and quickly maintained balance.

……

The girl can fly.Every night in the dead of night, she would secretly climb to the rooftop, spread her wings and fly to her heart's content.

……

Soon, news such as "humanoid monsters with wings appeared in this city" were reported wildly. Some said it was a racial mutation in the laboratory, and some said it was an alien invasion.Among the people, some people said that their high-rise houses were stolen by weirdos with wings!
......"

The president briefly described the plot of "Flying Wings and High". This plot has repeated twists and turns. In order to prove that she is a normal human being, the girl can't do it, and finally turns to desperately proving that she is harmless to human beings in order to survive.

She participated in many extremely dangerous rescue operations, and even in a fire, in order to rescue a family trapped in a high-rise, she was disfigured by the fire, and some of her wings were burned off.

She lay on the ground and groaned in pain. People who were moved put out the fire for her. She was admitted to the hospital, and people all over the country prayed for her.She is no longer that monster, but an angel who protects mankind.

The news all over the world introduced her deeds, and she finally no longer felt inferior to the extra wings, she soared happily and freely, and she dated the beautiful boy who adored her.

……

But the beautiful story ended soon. A new type of infectious disease appeared in human beings, and the laboratories could not develop a vaccine in a short period of time. A scientist accidentally discovered the feathers left by the girl in the fire, and believed that the feathers were the carrier of the virus.The girl was wanted and forced to start a fugitive career.

……

In the end, it was a misunderstanding and the whole people apologized.

A few years later, the scientific team that followed the girl discovered that the girl's wings have the ability to replicate, and through technical means, several flying humans can be bred.

In the name of human beings, the scientific team asked the girl to donate her wings and give her the Medal of Special Contribution to Humanity, but the girl refused.

At the public trial, the opposing girl stood in the dock, and she was firmly locked.

The judge announced the start of the public trial in a fair, open and just tone.At the public trial, the girl argued for herself and denounced the evil deeds done to her by humans.

The last paragraph of the whole article is a sentence shouted by her husband who was seduced by interests in the crowd:

"She's so ugly, she doesn't deserve to have such beautiful wings!"

So far, the full text is over.

After the president briefly introduced the plot, the conference room fell into a moment of silence.

The president said: "I just introduced the plot, but the writing style in this book is not tragic, Teacher Li expresses this heavy theme with a comic absurdity.

Especially the last ending, the ugly faces of human beings are described extremely well, and the plot ends abruptly here, which is so exquisitely designed. "

Someone said: "Although I haven't read this novel yet, this last sentence will be a sentence I will never forget. The girl lost her beautiful face in order to save others, and her closest husband... Hey, I You can even imagine the echoes of the masses afterwards.”

"After listening to the president's introduction to the novel, although I haven't seen the text, I have already predicted that this novel will undoubtedly become a classic, and its ideological content is extremely high."

"Not only that, I think the commercial value of this book will be very high. It is especially suitable for making a movie, but I don't think this kind of movie is dared to be made in China."

……

The president smiled: "I explained the plot of this book from a reader's perspective, it sounds like a serious drama, but after you read the book, you will deeply feel the absurd atmosphere.

In the creation of Mr. Li, he abandoned the logic and coherence of structure, language and plot..."

When the meeting was about to end, Xiao Wang walked into the room with about 20 bound manuscripts, and distributed the books to the leaders one by one.

After everyone received the book, they flipped through it subconsciously.

The president said: "Okay, since you are so impatient, let's adjourn the meeting immediately. All departments must prepare immediately. We must strive to sell books nationwide on this May Fourth Youth Day!"

"President, the four-year "Hua Guo Golden Tripod Award" will announce the results on May [-]st. We understand what you mean right?"

"Now that you know what I mean, why don't you hurry up? Dismiss the meeting!"

……

The "Hua Guo Golden Tripod Award" is the highest award for domestic literary works. It is held every four years and announced on May 17st. It has been held for [-] sessions so far.

As for the evaluation of the works, the organizing committee will screen the outstanding works in the past four years, and some of the shortlisted works will undergo rigorous review.

This award has nothing to do with the readers. A work that is a big success in the market may not be able to catch the eyes of the judges.This award requires literature and profundity.

Unpublished works such as Li Fan's "Flying Wings and High" are no problem if they are submitted to the organizing committee. Over the years, unpublished works have participated in the selection process, and once they win the award, they will be released after the listing. Sales need not be mentioned.

Therefore, many new books are thinking about participating in the evaluation of the "Golden Tripod Award" first, and selling them on the market. Even if they don't get the Golden Tripod Award, it is still possible to win the Excellence Award.

"Flying Wings and High" has a very strong advantage in participating in the "Golden Tripod Award", among other things, the network resources are invincible.

Of course, Li Fan's strength doesn't need to go through any back door. If Li Fan wants to go through the back door, let's take a look at his connections:

Among the ten judges of the "Golden Tripod Award" this year, four are from Beijing University;
Zhao Jianmin, the winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature, is the chief judge, and he can't say much about his appreciation for Li Fan;

One of the judges is a famous teacher of Renmin University, and he is a member of Li Fanxin's textual research school;

Another judge is the Dean of the School of History, Zhejiang University, who wrote "Rediscussion on Mr. Li Fan's 'Axial Age' Theory";
Of the remaining three judges, one was employed by the chief content officer of Lezhi.com's Wen, Shi, and Zhe channels, and the other two had no direct relationship with Li Fan.

However, the two of them are Bi Lao's favorite students.

This phenomenon can only show that when a person stands at a certain height, the walls will automatically open the back door. Although it is not necessary, it exists objectively.

"In any case, in the selection of literary awards, any personal relationship is corruption, and it is a serious moral issue, and the level of the work can be used as the only evaluation criterion.

Well, I'll make it clear, I'm afraid that because Li Fan belongs to the Peking University School, is a well-known domestic scholar, and may even be someone's leader, and you will favor him for this.This is not good, and Li Fan will be very angry if you treat him unfairly.

……

However, Li Fan's "Flying Wings and High" is really unique and charming!OK, OK! "

The above remarks were made by Mr. Bi Shengyuan, the honorary chairman of the Golden Tripod Awards, to the judges of the Golden Tripod Awards when he was sitting on a hospital bed and holding an iPad for a video conference.

Any award must have something to do with it. This is a normal phenomenon. Which award is born completely pure?Impossible!
Li Fan doesn't need to make connections, he also hates this kind of situation, but other judges try to save him face, but other authors are different, they all go out to find connections, I hope the judges will take care of them.

Muzi, the famous female poet who is as famous as Xiaoxiao, she has sharpened her sword for five years and wrote a novel, and she also decided to challenge for the Golden Tripod Award.

One day, she came to her uncle's house, and when she walked into the study, she saw him buried in a book, and excitedly beat his thigh with his fist from time to time.

"Uncle! Uncle!!"

"Oh, Xiaomu is here!"

"Uncle, where are you reading?"

"En! By the way, Xiao Mu, your entry "Ma Li's Smile" is well written."

Muzi said happily: "Uncle, whether your niece can win the Golden Tripod Award depends on your efforts!"

The uncle smiled: "Li Fan also brought his work to the competition."

Muzi was taken aback, "Huh? He also participated in the competition? Then...whether your niece can win the award of excellence depends on your efforts, uncle!"

Look, how self-aware this woman is!After all, where is Li Fan's status in the literary world?

Uncle closed the book, "This year, no matter the works I have read or the ones I haven't seen yet, I can say with certainty that everyone is accompanying me! This novel is so wonderful, and the human nature is explored too deeply. The writing style is unique and in a class of its own.”

"What type of novel did Li Fan write?"

"Absurd literature!"

"What? What literature?"

"Absurd literature, a brand-new genre of literature," the uncle stood up with his hands behind his back, looking out the window, "Since this book won the Golden Tripod Award, the genre of absurd literature was officially born! This child is in the history of Chinese literature, Absolute genius!"
