The star is suspected of being mentally ill

Chapter 198 Is the request so simple?

The Pulis Awards site was divided into four camps.

The media camp, these people are not only here to report but also to wait for who will win the Pulis Journalism Award in the end.

For the writer camp, there are too many writer awards, so the winners have been announced in advance. Of course, they were announced internally, not to the public.

In the social camp, this group of people is those who are related to the Pulis Award among the people who are most comfortable with making appointments, maybe publishing houses, maybe the media, maybe booksellers, maybe e-commerce.

There is also a group of people who are professional book reviewers. This group of people is very difficult to deal with.

And some of them also serve as drama critics and film critics.

Of course, it's not the drama of TV series, but the drama of drama and opera.

At the scene, awards were announced one by one.

"Winning the Pulis 2023 Fairy Tale Award is..."

"The winner of the Pulis 2023 Science Fiction Award is..."

Soon, came a small highlight.

"The winner of the Pulis 2023 Bestseller Award is Andrew, the author of "Bates' Time Travel"!"

Andrew, wearing a top hat, stepped onto the stage.

He's a little fatter, so maybe he looks better with a hat?

Andrew, who was on the stage, took the trophy and approached the microphone: "Wow, I have fantasized about toasting many times, but I didn't expect this trophy to be so heavy."

Then he raised the trophy with a funny toast, as if the trophy was very heavy.

However, no one at the scene could understand this obvious pun, and everyone was laughing.

Andrew just passed by: "Thanks to the fans for their support, I can receive this award."

"I also thank the judges for their insight."

"Thanks for some help from seniors in the industry."

"Thanks to my wife for silently supporting my writing behind the scenes, and to my daughter for giving me the inspiration to create."

"To be honest, I didn't expect to get this award at first. I thought I might be able to hit the Pulis Literary Award, but I didn't expect to win the best-selling award."

"I thought my book was quite literary."

It was another American joke, with the low compared to the high, and many people at the scene were laughing.

Andrew: "If I win the Pulis Literary Prize, my competitor is a great writer whom I admire very much, Rambis."

"Unexpectedly, I didn't get the literary award, and Rambis didn't get it either."

"Wow, it's a tie!"

Everyone in the audience was laughing, only Han Zhou looked at the fat guy from Miguo who looked honest but had secretly written him off four times.

Andrew: "After I worked in this industry, I have some understanding of literature and art, which may be similar to that of most people."

"In my opinion, literature is an art that empowers people, a collision between imagination and reality."

"We often say that a novel is that, except for the names of people and places, everything else is true."

"So, I am more inclined to describe the things that have happened or often happened in the real world. After being described by the writer's pen, they are touching and leave a very deep impression on people."

"I didn't expect that this year's literature award winner found another way and wrote something else."

High emotional intelligence, find another way.

Low EQ is not art.

Many people in the audience found it strange.

You, a best-selling author, why do you talk about literature and art when you win an award?

What do you mean?
Darph lowered his body: "That old bastard Rambis is really smiling."

Han Zhou stood up.

Yes, Han Zhou stood up when someone delivered his acceptance speech at the awards ceremony.

Because Han Zhou was sitting too far in front, he had no choice but to not be seen.

Andrew on the stage also looked at Han Zhou, narrowing his eyes slightly.

Han Zhou not only stood up, but also raised his right hand very high: "I have a question."

Andrew smiled: "Please say."

Do you really think you are giving a lecture?

Han Zhou: "Do literature and art need to be serious?"

Andrew froze for a moment: "Seriousness..."

Han Zhou: "That is to say, does literature and art need to reflect the social reality, the cruel social reality, the huge gap between the rich and the poor, and reflect that the suffering will be more miserable, and the rich will be more prosperous."

Andrew was silent.

He didn't dare to answer these words.

Literature and art, going on, will always go on the same road.

In his previous life, Conan Doyle, the author of "Sherlock Holmes", was not only the pioneer of detective novels, but also a great science fiction writer, and at the same time, the creator of serious literature.

However, this thing seems to be in conflict with society in the United States.

Han Zhou laughed. Don't you dare to pick up?

With the strength of serious literature, you dare not accept it?
Do you dare to make a left movement with my left hand?
Seeing that Andrew didn't speak, Han Zhou said, "Your pursuit of literature is what you described, right? Are there any other conditions?"

"That's it?"

The news media at the scene seemed to smell the blood of the shark, and their eyes were shining with gold.

Obviously, they can understand it even if they don't understand it.

Andrew, taking the opportunity of speaking, stomped on Han Zhou.

Because "And There Were None" is an idea, not a true story.

Because it is very difficult for such a story and such a person to appear in reality.

In "No Survival", everyone on the island is a villain, but in this trap, everyone died on the island.

In the end, only on the nearby coast, someone picked up a drift bottle and knew the possible truth.

There is a man on the island who is actually a judge.

During his long career of judging other people's lives, he gradually became obsessed with morbid judgmental thinking.

Although he judges and takes the life of others, it is just.

But he knew that he was only satisfying his desire to kill, not justice.

In the end, he decided to gather a group of people who had committed crimes but escaped justice on the island.

Then send them away one by one with "Indian Nursery Rhymes".

He faked his death at first, and after sending everyone away at the end, he ended his own life.

Such a story is so exquisite that it makes people feel horrified and their souls tremble.

However, this is not a story about reality.

And now Andrew defiantly presents the real story.

Then Han Zhou has a question to ask.

Do you dare to mention the real story, dare to only write about the real pain?
good!If you dare to take over the matter of serious literature, Han Zhou will propose GM literature, that is, left-wing literature.

Andrew shut his mouth as soon as he was at the gate.

Han Zhou could only say, that's all?
The emergence of serious literature is indeed a great progress in the literature and art of the world's literary world. Later, many literary awards were awarded because of this kind of literature.

Including One Hundred Years of Solitude.

However, they have a huge flaw.

That is compromise!
Serious literature only dares to mention class oppression, only dares to tell stories of suffering, but dare not be hard-pressed to the end.

After the serious literature, the left-wing literature is undoubtedly the serious and real literature.

Abroad, this kind of literature is called left.

But in China, this is positive.

So, in fact, in Huaguo, serious literature is right-wing and weak.

However, in recent years, it seems that some people want to change the definition of serious literature. For example, Baike has already changed it for people. Some people want to change the right-wing weakness and compromise into positive.

Even so, the level of serious literature is much higher than the gorgeous life of the rich written by Rambis and his like.

Han Zhou had as many of these things in his mind.

I dare to write if you dare to take over.

Even if you dare to pick it up, dare to add some weight?Then Han Zhou still has two lore.

One Hemingway, one Mr. Lu.

Now Han Zhou was extremely disappointed, and Andrew didn't dare to answer: "That's it?"

After speaking, Han Zhou sat down.

The media at the scene were very disappointed. Is this the end?

One dares to ask questions, but the other dare not answer?
Then it's gone?
However, Han Zhou, who sat down, turned on his mobile phone and typed a few words, then turned to look at Darph: "This writing is too slow."

Darph: "Do you want a computer?"

Han Zhou: "Do you have a typewriter?"

Darph turned his head and saw that some of the journalists were using typewriters to record on the spot: "Yes, there is money, everything."

Soon, a typewriter was sent over.

And the big cows in the news area were also dumbfounded.

Over there in the writer's area, someone bought a typewriter and bought a typewriter for $[-].

Isn't it a big fool not to sell this? !

But, who asked for a typewriter, and why did they want a typewriter?
At the scene, awards were presented one by one.

At exactly nine o'clock in the evening, the Pulis Literary Award, the second of the three awards, was finally announced.

The host looked at the card in his hand on the stage and smiled: "The winner of the 2023 Pulis Literary Award is "None Survived", author, han, jiu!"

Han Zhou stood up.

At this time, the surrounding eyes all gathered.

These people are curious about Han Zhou and wait and see.

The people in a few seats around Han Zhou looked at Han Zhou as if they were looking at a god.

Holding a piece of manuscript paper that smelled of ink in his hand, Han Zhou walked onto the stage.

After getting the trophy, Han Zhou put the trophy aside.

Looking down at the newly typed manuscript in his hand, he began to read: "The Last Vine Leaf."

Han Zhou didn't bother to pay attention to anyone's slander or provocation.

However, it is rare for Han Zhou to prepare his acceptance speech.

In this case, let's end it in O'Henry style, and give the literature of this world a little shock.

O. Henry, an American short story writer in his previous life, is one of the top three short story writers in the world.

He has three masterpieces, among which "The Last Vine Leaf" is an act that all literary youths are vying to imitate.

Even later, some fun people started to play this.

Someone wrote on the leaf of an evergreen plant, 'I will quit smoking when this leaf falls', and everyone was powerless to complain.

Evergreen Leaf says quit smoking, you just don’t want to quit smoking, right?Fortunately, the leaf has withered.

However, as soon as the camera was lifted, the evergreen plant was almost dead, and on each leaf was written a sentence 'I will quit smoking when this leaf falls'.

This is a typical O'Henry stalk with an O'Henry-style ending.

Han Zhou was reading the manuscript on the stage.

It is not a recitation with rich voice and emotion, but a very plain reading.

The audience is confused.

What do you mean, what is he doing?
The story is not long and difficult to understand.

It was a little girl who had pneumonia, and she said that she was like a tree outside the window.

Now it's winter and the leaves are starting to fall.

It is estimated that when the leaves fall off, my own life will disappear like the leaves, right?

The old painter encouraged her to continue to live bravely.

Time passed day by day, and the leaves were still green.

The audience in the audience were not fools, they all understood such an obvious hint.

The old painter went to paint a leaf!
As long as the leaves do not wither, the little girl will not die!

Is this the romance of literati?
In the press area under the stage, many people were short of breath.

They feel that a stunning masterpiece is about to be born!
Yet the story continues.

A long time passed, and the little girl survived.

The nurse told her that you are getting better soon, unlike the old painter downstairs who is no longer alive.

As soon as these words came out, the audience had a bad premonition.

The O'Henry-style ending shocked the world for the first time.

The old painter who drew a leaf to encourage the little girl also got pneumonia.

In just two days, he died.

Scene, the writers are dumbfounded.

Journalists, stupid.

What's this? !ghost? !
Wait a minute, why does it seem to be full of irony?
In fact, this article can be interpreted from many angles.

It can be said that the ivy in "The Last Vine Leaf" represents hope and encourages the little girl.

It can also be said that the power of life comes from ignorance, because the old painter can draw a leaf to trick the little girl to survive, but he cannot convince himself to overcome the same disease.

It can also be said that the old man's persuasion and preaching to children is good, as long as you follow what the old man said, everything will be fine.The problem now is that the old man himself is just talking, and he doesn't believe in any hope.

The O.Henry-style ending means that everyone can think and understand crazily.

Even if you don't want to use your brain, he is also an excellent satirical story.

And if you think about it for a long time, you will feel it.

I thought I was on the second level and he was on the first level, and now I see that he is on the fifth level, in fact he may be in the atmosphere.

As long as they think enough, Han Zhou will be more terrifying in their minds.

For those who don't use their brains, Han Zhou is a writer with quick wit and talent.

For those who like to use their brains, Han Zhou is the master of dolls and the maker of brain crashes.

'I can't figure it out...he's too strong! '

'Is this the world that the boss knows? '

Han Zhou put down the manuscript, picked up the trophy, and walked to the audience.

Darph stood up and applauded wildly: "God Han!!"

"Garde!!!"

"The eternal god in the literary world!!!"

Han Zhou was already walking towards the audience, but turned around again, pinching the microphone: "To be honest, provocation is boring, there is no challenge at all, and it is not interesting."

"However, I am interested in challenging all writers around the world. If you are interested, you can also try to write this kind of short story."

"Or other styles of short stories, it's fine."

Under the stage, Andrew, who was sitting on the seat holding the trophy, was stunned.

After hearing this story, Andrew knew that it was impossible for him to touch one-tenth of Han Zhou in his life.

I should have mentioned something more difficult just now.

However, if I mention more difficult things, maybe now I am only one percent of Han Zhou?
No...I...fuck it, this story doesn't make sense, well, that's it!

Andrew's IQ and mental state quickly reached a delicate balance.

A writer next to him: "Horror, it's too scary, there are still people in the world who can write stories like this?!"

"This story will spread throughout the world within a day!!"

Andrew turned his head, and the delicate balance that had just been reached in his mind collapsed.

It is impossible to balance ten stacked chairs without falling over with one pointing finger.

Andrew tried his best to hide in his arms, trying to hide his brain.

He suddenly realized what stupid thing he had just done, what kind of person he had offended and what kind of great writer he had doubted.

After today, all book friends and netizens will mock me to death!

Han Zhou, who stepped down, took his seat again and threw the trophy to Darph.

Darph smiled: "Send me off?"

Han Zhou: "Help me hold it for a while."

Darph: "Well, it's an honor!!!"

How could the scene be quiet? A large number of reporters were discussing "The Last Vine Leaf".

Is this what this person wrote just now? !
More people are discussing what the story is going to tell.

Is it a kind of irony, or a rendering of hope, wondering if it is a real story?
To be honest, Hamlet cannot have a thousand readers and a thousand Hamlets, but O. Henry-style things sometimes really have this effect.

Everyone has their own different understanding and views.

Among them, the craziest is the book reviewer.

At this time, the book critics and drama critics of the entire contract are here.

Everyone's eyes are shining.

They don't know how many years they haven't seen such a wonderful story.

And more importantly, generally good stories can only drive some book reviewers so crazy.

And this story made all the book reviewers crazy.

This is at least a world-class work that is enough to be circulated all over the world!
Of course, there is also a reason for the short story.

Short stories are easier to circulate and more likely to be seen by more people.

In the same comparison, if you compare the writing of long or medium-length novels, such as Mr. Lu or Tolstoy or Hemingway, then O'Henry will be one grade shorter.

However, the number of people who have read a complete work of theirs is certainly not as large as the number of people who have read a complete work by O. Henry.

Because it's such a short story, it can be read in a few minutes.

Even if it appears in textbooks, it is still an interesting story that students are chasing to read, unlike the excerpts of medium-length novels, which are confusing to understand.

A depth charge was dropped on this venue just like that.

If this situation wasn't crazy enough, then the situation that really exploded the scene came soon.

The winner of the 2023 Best Inspirational Work Award read his acceptance speech on stage: "Thank you very much for the judging committee's love, for the book fans' support, for my wife and son, and for..."

"I am also very surprised to receive this award. This kind of surprise is no less than... no less than... no less than the surprise when I heard the story of "The Last Vine Leaf."

The scene was full of laughter.

They all thought it was a hanging baggage.

Let's talk about cross talk here.

What they didn't expect, however, was that the writer was a moron, the kind of paranoia that is so common among writers.

After mentioning "The Last Vine Leaf", his thinking diverged to thinking.

"I was thinking, in fact, the old painter deceived the little girl with white lies, but he didn't deceive himself. He can give people hope with paintings, but his paintings give himself despair. It is a constant reminder of death. A depiction of harsh reality."

"That leaf is a real hope for a little girl."

"And it's a cruel reality for the old painter?"

"Many book fans see Han's works, as if they see real hope, the hope of literature."

"However, seeing Han's works is really a cruel reality for us authors, because we know very well that we cannot write this kind of article by ourselves."

"I... I won't write books anymore, Fengbi."

"thank you all."

There was an uproar at the scene.

A writer who just won an award and was driven crazy?
Not making money anymore?Don't want to hit higher awards?

Just retreat like that?

Overwhelmed?

Han Zhou shrugged innocently.

You old pigeon, you want a pigeon yourself, and you actually use me as a shield? !
Very good at playing!
And isn't this dramatic scene exactly what literature is after?

Many reporters wrote manuscripts on the spot, writing about today's interesting and surprising knowledge.

So much so that in the end, the winner of the Pulis Journalism Award, reporter Dominique, also made a strange mistake in the end: "I hope that the most realistic news can bring hope to the world."

"It's like an old painter giving hope to a little girl."

"Even if in the end I am martyred like an old painter, I will not hesitate."

There was a loud applause at the scene.

Dominique: "Today I have an urge to become a writer."

"I've spent seven years investigating poaching in Africa and finally got results."

"Perhaps, I should pay more attention to things. I... After receiving this award, the first job I want to do is to interview Han Zhou. I wonder if you can accept my interview?"

Han Zhou tilted his head: I'm afraid there is something wrong with these people.

Wait a minute, this guy is a reporter who won the Pulis Journalism Award. Starting today, his social media will probably be followed by a lot of people, and he is one of the most famous reporters.

If I want to go to the United States, I still need a tongue.

Perhaps, this Dominique, could be this tongue?
Han Zhou got up: "It's better to hit the sun than to choose the day."

"That's it."

Dominique's eyes lit up: "Thank you again for your love, thank you!"

After speaking, he hurriedly stepped down.

And Han Zhou also got up, joined Dominique, and left with Darph and others.

The host on the stage came onto the stage in embarrassment: "So this year...the Pulis Awards ceremony has come to a successful conclusion!"

"I invite you all to the Price Dinner Dance."

"Everyone, see you next year!"
