A healing writer? No, it's a depressing writer!

Chapter 98: Writing on Realism?

The so-called "True Fragrance Law" is used to mock someone who shouts slogans to boycott something, and then becomes addicted to that thing.

No one can resist the temptation of the law of true fragrance——

Of course, Kong Xi is no exception!
At first, Kong Xi had some reservations about the three-yuan ice cream from Mixue Ice City:

"Only three dollars for an ice cream?"

“Is this edible?”

"Will you have diarrhea if you eat it?"

However, when I saw Jiang Hai bought two ice creams on his own, and then kept showing off, and they smelled especially good.

Look at his tempting eating posture.

Finally, I couldn't hold it back any longer.

"Give me one!" She reached out and took the strawberry ice cream from Jiang Hai's hand, then took a sip. Suddenly, her eyes revealed a look of inexperienced people. "Hey, it's delicious!"

You know what, after eating all the delicacies from Michelin restaurants, you can try some street food.
Isn't this a unique flavor?
After eating DQ, Haagen-Dazs, and specialty stores, why not try the ice cream from Mixue Ice City?
Is this really a different taste?
"I've never eaten something so delicious before." At this moment, Kong Xi's eyes flashed with a special look. She looked at Jiang Hai beside her with a slightly surprised tone, "Such delicious food, it only costs three yuan?!?"

"I want to eat more, Jiang Hai, can you give me two more?"

Two?

How can two be enough?
You finally get to eat an ice cream and you still keep searching?

Don’t let others think that we can’t even afford an ice cream!
Jiang Hai waved his hand:
"Classmate, please give me five more ice creams!"

How can five be enough?

Wu (wu)zhi (zi) is not okay
"We have a promotion at Mixue Ice City today, buy five get one free." The waiter packed six ice creams into a takeaway bag and handed it to Jiang Hai. "The weather is hot, and ice cream is a cold drink. Please eat it as soon as possible."

Send two people away
For some reason, the students who were also standing in the queue felt that the woman who was buying ice cream at the entrance of Mixue Ice City just now looked familiar:
"I feel like I've seen that girl who just passed by us before somewhere."

"You've seen every beautiful woman?" The classmate standing next to him smiled at him, "Why, you've seen all the beauties in the world in your dreams, right?"

The male student stood there and thought about it carefully, but he couldn't remember it.

Coincidentally, at this moment, an advertisement featuring the luxury brand Bulgari and artist Kong Xi as its spokesperson flashed on the TV of the neighboring store.

The boy stared at the screen in disbelief:

"That girl just now looks exactly like the star in the advertisement."

The reason why Kong Xi came to [Chengxi] this time was not to find Jiang Hai.

As an artist, especially a popular artist.

Where does she get so much free time to chat with Jiang Hai about these trivial things?

The reason why I came to Chengxi Opera today was that I happened to be at the Normal University next to Chengxi Opera to shoot a campus scene.

The filming was finished, nothing to do, and then it just so happened that something like that happened a few days ago.
So I just came to experience the 'real' Jiang Hai offline for a while.

I had an appointment with my agent to meet at the north gate of Chengxi Opera House at 8pm. Now it's been a while.
It’s already past nine o’clock?
"Oops, I was so engrossed in eating that I forgot the time!" Kong Xi suddenly lost confidence when he thought of his agent's warning to him before he came out. "Oops, oops, oops."

She also has a dinner for a luxury brand she endorses in the evening, and the dinner starts at nine o'clock in the evening.

Now, it seems that she
Missed it perfectly?
"Why are you in such a hurry?" Jiang Hai licked the ice cream in his hand slowly, while licking, he walked Kong Xi to the north gate of the school, "Look at it lightly, you are already late anyway, so what's the big deal if you are late a little longer?"

“Being bitter first does not necessarily mean sweetness later. Only sweetness first is true sweetness.”

"There's nothing that can't be solved with a bite of ice cream. If there is, take two bites."

For some reason, Kong Xi always felt that Jiang Hai was a little weird.

Do you want to read his works in depth?
You will find that this person's soul is indeed very deep.

His writings, when describing suffering and setbacks, are deeply moving and full of his own unique insights!
If you just read his works and don't know this person, then you must think that he must be a wise scholar who has experienced many vicissitudes of life?
But when you get to know him better, you will find out.
This person, the man and the book are completely different things?

His book once solemnly and seriously told readers:
“Setbacks are not terrible. What we lack is the courage to face them.”

But in reality, he is:

"I will treat minor illnesses, and die if I suffer serious ones. Life is full of flavors, and there is nothing to worry about."

I don't know why, I was a little panicked because I missed the dinner, but seeing Jiang Hai's "optimistic" and even nonchalant attitude,
Kong Xi suddenly stopped panicking?

Work while you are alive, and forget about it when you die. Why should people worry about things that have never happened?
How bad can things get?
It’s already late anyway, so you might as well enjoy the present moment and live in the present!

"You're right, there's nothing to worry about!" Kong Xi instantly slowed down his pace and began to walk slowly towards the north gate exit. "Even if I'm not late, the media will still spread rumors that I'm a big shot. Since I'm going to be rumored to be a big shot anyway, why not just... I'll really be a big shot this time!"

"The ice cream at Mixue Ice City is so delicious. Why didn't I realize before that there is such delicious ice cream in the world? I am crying my ass off."

Nowadays, there are four major awards in the field of literature in contemporary Chinese literary circles, namely:

Mao Dun Literature Award!
Lu Xun Literature Award!
Lao She Literature Award!
Cao Yu Drama Literature Award!
Among them, the Mao Dun Literature Prize is awarded every four years and is the most important literary award in the country. Most of the nominated works are long literary works with more than 13 words.

The Lu Xun Literature Award is evaluated every two years and once every four years. Most of the works nominated are novellas, short stories, reportage, poetry, essays, literary theory and criticism, and translations of Chinese and foreign literary works.

The Cao Yu Drama Literature Award is awarded once a year and is mainly given to some outstanding drama and opera literary and artistic workers in the country.

As for the Lao She Literature Award——

The awards are presented every two to three years, and the works they target are mostly novellas, novels and drama scripts.

On the way back to the school dormitory after sending Kong Xi, Jiang Hai was flipping through the messages on his mobile phone.

Discover one of the four major literary awards in China——

Lao She Literature Award!
In the near future, will we be conducting a concentrated and detailed review and summary of the literary works that have appeared in the literary market in the past two to three years?
In fact, to be honest, Jiang Hai himself does not have any big ideas about the [Lao She Literature Award]. After all, there are many outstanding writers in China, and it is quite difficult to compete for this award?
Perhaps, he has indeed made some achievements among the college students.

However, if we remove his student identity and place him in the context of a whole group of writers,
Maybe his achievements are not worth mentioning?
At first, Jiang Hai had no interest in the upcoming Lao She Literature Award, but
Did he see the special essay contest regarding the Lao She Literature Award?

This time, the Lao She Literature Award has opened a special column, which combines traditional works with realistic themes and sets up a column called——

Best Realistic Novella Award?
In this domestic environment, it is very difficult to win a literary award of the level of the Lao She Literature Award.

It must be as difficult as ascending to heaven!
Not only does it have to pass the review of the China Writers Association, but it also has to compete with outstanding writers from all over the country.
It is quite large!
The most important thing is that for an award of this level, it is not as simple as writing two manuscripts and sending them to the jury for review after the manuscripts are completed.

What it requires.
It is a work created by the writer himself and must have a certain influence among the people!
Only in this way are you eligible to participate in the selection!

Although it is a bit confusing, in short, to put it bluntly,
You need to publish a book first!

After its publication, this book has caused a certain response among readers!

Only if you meet the above two requirements, you will be eligible to participate in this year's [Lao She Literature Award]!

"Publish a book first?" Jiang Hai frowned when he saw the requirements for the Lao She Literature Award.

Not every writer is qualified to be commissioned by a publishing house.

In China, most writers write before they become famous.
Maybe they all belong to self-publishing?

Obviously, given Jiang Hai's current status, he is clearly not able to ask a publishing house to "advance funds" for publishing a book.

If he wants to participate in this year's [Lao She Literature Award] selection——

First, he needed to complete the manuscript of "Xu Sanguan Selling Blood".

Then, you need to contact the publishing house and publish the book at your own expense.

If the sales are good and the readers approve of it
Finally, will he be eligible to participate in the selection of this year's [Lao She Literature Award]?

"Publish a book at your own expense?"

"This seems a bit difficult, doesn't it?"

Although, the conditions for participating in the Lao She Literature Award are indeed somewhat harsh.

However, if Jiang Hai was not allowed to participate in the selection of this year's Lao She Literature Award, he would definitely feel unwilling.

after all
"Xu Sanguan Selling Blood" really fits the requirements of this year's Lao She Literature Award for medium-length and long-length realistic writings!!!

After hesitating for a while, Jiang Hai thought for a while and some ideas came to his mind.

Want to self-publish a book?

Well, first of all, you have to make money!

As a scholar, how can he make quick money without affecting his normal work and studies?

That.
I can only write online articles!
Thinking of this, Jiang Hai secretly made up his mind:
“It’s time to trade your talent for some money”
