Riding the wind of rebirth

Chapter 444 Publication Award
"That's right." The godfather turned over the "Sichuan Taste" with the cover up, as if he didn't want to be hurt by the dazzling price: "There are actually three kinds of awards in this selection, one is formal The national awards are for very influential and valuable works, such as the "Chinese Dictionary" edited by your grandpa."

"Grandpa won the prize?"

"Don't interrupt, the second is the honor award, which is second to the national award. This time, Mr. Tan Qixiang's "Atlas of Chinese History" and the Qianlong edition of "Tripitaka" won the award."

"Hey, isn't that the Dragon Canon? Where was it published?"

"Published by the National Cultural Relics Publishing House."

"Can you buy it? It's not bad to send a set to Fawang Temple."

"I guess you have to go to the capital to get it. Generally, this kind of book is not printed too much. I said why do you always interrupt?"

"Isn't this just chatting? By the way, I must make a set of Tan Lao's "Atlas of Chinese History". This is too important for my creation."

"The one where you traveled through the Song Dynasty?"

"Ah, yes, many place names need to be compared... Hey, that's not me traveling through time, the protagonist is a township cadre in Meizhou."

"I can figure it out." The godfather said qualitatively: "I guess you have to go to Shudu to buy this book. I said this is just a distraction, isn't it?"

"You say you say."

"There is another category for this book award, which is called the nomination award, which means that those who were sent by various publishing houses to participate in the competition and were not selected will be included in the nomination award."

"It's kind of boring..." Zhou Zhi felt that he couldn't help laughing: "Isn't this the reason why the imperial examinations were not dismissed after the middle of the Northern Song Dynasty? It's not like Zhang Yuan and Wu Hao overthrew the seal of heaven!"

"This is also a great honor!" Godfather patted the beautiful books on the coffee table: "It is already amazing that a book created by an independent author is nominated for this award!"

"Wait...wait a minute..." Zhou Zhi finally understood: "You mean... this..."

"This is the Book Publishing Award, and the honor belongs to the publishing house." Godfather emphasized: "But... you who independently own the copyright say something else."

"Is that so..." Zhou Zhi couldn't help but smile crookedly: "Is that why I should be proud?"

"What are you so proud of?" Godfather said, "Deputy Director Liu called, not about the provincial publishing house."

"What's the matter?" Zhou Zhi was completely confused: "You just said that this is a great honor..."

"Your luck is out of luck, kid!" Godfather was a little annoyed: "But I haven't seen this book yet. It is "New Era Novella Masterpiece Series" published by Haixia Publishing House. "Special Party Members" is also selected in it..."

"Why didn't they tell me?! The manuscript fee hasn't been paid yet!!"

"I'm giving you shame! You're just pretending to be there!" The godfather felt so resentful, why did this baby encounter good things one after another: "Hurry up and prepare materials, I want to report the good news to the county and city!
"Ah, this..." Zhou Zhi felt very embarrassed: "Isn't this just living on my laurels? All I wrote this year were papers, and... the art of food..."

"Art is art!" Godfather held his hand on his forehead, dumbfounded: "But the commercialization of recipes has been very successful... Speaking of which! The series of books from Haixia Publishing House won a national award!"

"Huh?!" Is it such a twists and turns?Doesn't this mean that the east side is not bright and the west side is bright?

"I really suspect that you are just pretending." Godfather began to analyze seriously: "There are a total of more than ten authors selected for this series, including Wang Meng, Feng Jicai, Lu Wenfu, Zhang Xianliang, Zhang Chengzhi, Jia Pingwa, do you understand? ?”

"Understood." Zhou Zhi understood what godfather meant.

This group of writers is the current mainstream, representing the reflection on human nature and the portrayal of tragedy. What they are best at is "reflecting the national tragedy with the fate of a single little person".

It's okay for a writer to do this, but it's a bit of a problem for a group of writers to do it.

In the words of another life later, it is all "negative energy" and lacks "positive energy".

It is true that tragedies are heavy, thought-provoking, profoundly analyzing human nature, and deeply humanistic. However, if the literary world is full of such works, it will be a bit biased.

The publishing house was probably aware of this problem, so it included Zhou Zhi's novella.

In the words of the godfather, it is "to make up for the number".

"For the sake of the award, I will forgive them." Zhou Zhi said, "But if you don't give me the manuscript fee, don't blame me for hiring a lawyer."

"You have such a big face." The godfather was very angry: "I took you to win an award, and you got such a big honor, but it turned out to be wrong, right?"

"Isn't it?" Zhou Zhi expressed dissatisfaction, "How dare the publishing house do this to the writers you mentioned earlier?"

"Okay, okay, the publishing house won't owe you this little money." The godfather continued to confess: "In addition to writing the materials for the announcement, by the way, fill in the form with your creative achievements. With these achievements this year as a basis, you can Apply for the National Writers Association."

This certificate is a symbol of absolute strength, at least in the past few years. Not to mention anything else, if the certificate of the Provincial Writers Association can collect scenery for free in various scenic spots in the province, the National Writers Association certificate can travel in various places across the country at this stage Scenic spots, industrial and mining enterprises, enterprises and institutions are engaged in interviews and collections, and the relevant units generally actively cooperate.

And today's writers are not hypocritical. In order to write a good documentary of a major case, they really go to the criminal police team to go to the field and follow the forensic doctor to examine the corpse; , and then train yourself to a military quality that can't be left behind... There are many people there.

Now Zhou Zhi's "Sichuan Taste" has been nominated for a National Book Award; the novella "New Era Novella Masterpiece Series" has won a book award, and the selection is almost a sure thing.

"Speaking of which, you have to thank one more person." Godfather said: "Deputy Director Liu also said on the phone that Mr. Wang is also concerned about your situation."

"Which old king?"

"Our hometown in Jiachuan, esthetician, Wang Zhaowen."

"Huh? Isn't he a sculptor?"

"In addition to being a sculptor and an esthetician, he is also a literary critic." Godfather said as he took out a super large envelope from the drawer: "He is a very important person among the [-] judges this time, and he is now waiting for selection." The name of a fellow villager appeared among the creators of the work, returned twice, and he is still so young, it will inevitably attract attention."

"He entrusted the participating comrades in the province to hand it over to you."

"Oh." Zhou Zhi felt that his godfather was stimulated by something today, and his actions and words were out of normal logic. Shouldn't this thing be brought out a long time ago?
Open the big envelope, and inside is a piece of calligraphy.

To be honest, the words can only be called mediocre, but the content is very good - Chufeng Qingsheng.
