Chapter 1642 Hall
He Liang felt a little unbelievable, how could the other party be nominated for the Golden Plum Blossom Award before he was twenty years old! Could it be that what Wang Meirou said about this travel journal is really so awesome? But no matter how good it is, his age is still there! How can a little kid who knows shit be compared to an old guy like himself who has passed his life! It's simply a joke of the world.
As for Wang Meirou and the others, Zhang Yu did not underestimate them too much. Mainly, a few people have read Journey to the West. Even if they haven't read the whole, they have read part of it. Naturally, they know how thick Zhang Yu's literary heritage is. Although they do not doubt that "Journey to the West" has entered the nomination qualification of the Golden Plum Blossom Award. But the problem now is that this octopus is too young to be nominated for the Golden Plum Blossom nomination at the age of eighteen. So this guy named Octopus broke the Golden Plum Blossom's minimum nomination from thirty-nine years old to eighteen years old. Thinking about it now, it is incredible.
Several people looked weird, and Ma Tao was also proud of himself... Although he said that his website already had a certain right to speak in the domestic literature market. But that is also in the field of pure commercial literature. In this field of professional literature, online literature has always had no right to speak. But now it's different. With Zhang Yu's masterpiece, his own platform has entered the first echelon of the professional field. I believe this will be a milestone for the future development of the company.
As the time for the award ceremony is approaching, although He Liang, Wang Meirou and others still have some questions about Zhang Yu's qualifications and want to find out, but they don't have time to continue chatting, so they went to the National Grand Theater together.
...
On the way, Wang Meirou seemed to be most interested in Zhang Yu, and she took the initiative to chat with him, as if she wanted to find out what was different about this talented young man. After all, she is the only person here who has read "Journey to the West" in its entirety, so she is naturally very curious about the young man next to him who can write books that are comparable to the four classics.
When Wang Meirou knew that Zhang Yu was still only a high school student, Zhang Yu admired no one even more. It is unimaginable that a high school student has such a profound literary foundation. You must know that the other party is nearly two rounds younger than her age, but her cultural foundation is just the opposite of her own. She is also nearly two rounds behind the other party. How can she not admire Zhang Yu very much.
He Liang was not as interested in Zhang Yudao as Wang Meirou, nor did he read any bullshit Journey to the West, nor did he know what kind of book it was. However, in his opinion, a ten-year-old hairy child can be nominated for the same Golden Plum Blossom Award as himself, which is very unpleasant.
Could it be that the Golden Plum Blossom Award has now reached the level of giving a high school student pork? It's a humiliation for those writers who have been aiming for the Golden Plum Award for life.
...
The largest performance hall of the National Centre for the Performing Arts,
There are already crowds at the moment... If you are a lover of traditional literature, you will definitely see many domestic god-level writers in the hall at this moment.
Even Kong Rongxue, the only domestic winner of the Lawrence Literary Award, the highest award in world literature, is among them. As one of the nominees for this Golden Plum Blossom Award, Kong Rongxue is naturally the object of many writers and writers' association members. After coming to the hall, it can be regarded as the existence of the stars and the moon version among the authors.
...
After Zhang Yu and Ma Tao entered the hall, they went to their own area separately.
The area where Zhang Yu was located was in the very center of the hall, and the seats in this area had names posted on them.
Zhang Yu found his seat, sat down, and looked around, most of the people didn't know him. He Liang and Wang Meirou, who had just met, were sitting a few rows away from him and couldn't talk to each other, so he could only sit there and look around boredly.
...
As the boss of the country's largest commercial literature platform, Ma Tao has many acquaintances in the hall. When he came to his area, many people stood up to greet him, followed by chatting and laughing. In fact, most of these people are presidents of major publishing houses. After all, online literature is now selling well, and even physical publishing cannot ignore this amazing profit. And Ma Tao, as the big brother of the platform with a lot of popular resources, is naturally the object of the presidents who are eager to please. From their point of view, if they can win the publishing rights of a set of popular novels from Ma Tao, it will greatly help the publishing house's profit growth. This is why Ma Tao, as a representative of a purely commercial literature platform, still has a place in the traditional literature market.
But not everyone likes Ma Tao. There are also some bosses who are also online literature platforms. They are not so comfortable with Ma Tao. As a person who received the invitation of the Golden Plum Blossom Award Committee, it was even more unpleasant to see that Ma Tao was so popular among the presidents of major magazines. Although they also know that Ma Tao shakes hands with a lot of excellent authors and is indeed the industry leader, those presidents who engage in traditional literature must be a little bit more aggressive! The appearance of worshipping money like this is not afraid to make people laugh. In fact, they are simply envious of Ma Tao. If they can put themselves in their shoes, they would also like to get the kind of treatment that is like a star and a moon, but their platform and Ma Tao's platform are indeed not of the same level and magnitude. There is only envy, jealousy and hatred next to them.
...
In the area where the writer is located, there is no situation like the bosses and presidents on Ma Tao's side, as if the restaurant has opened, and those who are familiar are only whispering. As some of the god-level writers in the traditional literature market, it can be said that except for Zhang Yu, the youngest has passed the age of confusion. It seems that they pay more attention to the illusory sense of honor, especially those who have won the Golden Plum Blossom Award nomination. The authors are even more excited.
Although these people do not yet know whether they will be able to win the final award, in any case, even just the qualifications for nomination will earn them enough respect in the domestic literary circle. Of course, if you can win the Golden Plum Blossom Award in the end, then your status in the domestic literary circle will rise even more. In the end, even if you are selected as a member of the National Writers Association and become a leader of the provincial Writers Association, I believe it will be an easy thing to do. It can also be said that this is The lifelong dream of many literary writers.
