Many people are fans of Xu Fan, and seeing their idol walk onto the stage to receive a major literary award is simply unbelievable.

"what"

Screams suddenly erupted, as if they were at a concert. Some people could no longer contain their excitement and were shouting wildly.

It wasn't until that scream that the scene finally returned to its lively atmosphere. Countless Xu Fan fans were stunned, and then cheered for their love for Xu Fan. At that moment, Xu Fan, standing on the stage, felt as if he had been transported to a concert.

At this moment, the media representatives in the audience were even more stunned.

For them, seeing Xu Fan was a wonderful surprise, and more importantly, it was definitely big news.

Xu Fan, as a headline-grabber in the entertainment industry, is basically the darling of every media person who wants to capture exclusive news.

It's true that as long as Xu Fan is involved, he's practically guaranteed to be on the front page. The trending topics will skyrocket. Most importantly, this whole thing is just too unbelievable.

It's the kind of thing that you'd bet the impossible would happen, but it actually did.

"My God, it really is Brother Fan! How is this possible? How is this possible? Brother Fan is too amazing!"

"Even I, a guy, want to have Fan Ge's baby. He's just too amazing. A singer who's all over the internet, a mentor on the second season of The Coming One, and currently on a global tour, Xu Fan actually found time to write a novel and won the quadrennial Maodun Literature Prize. It's unbelievable, but it's also incredibly impressive."

"I still have doubts, but that face, I really don't know how to make up a story that it's not Xu Fan. My God, I feel like I'm dreaming."

"Big news! Xu Fan, a top talent and superstar in the entertainment industry, has switched careers to write books and won the Maodun Literature Prize."

"Breaking news! Xu Fan has stopped singing and started writing books, which has become a sensation in the literary world, making him a literary giant."

There was a great deal of discussion in the audience, and countless people watched this scene in disbelief, but Xu Fan had already walked onto the stage.

The host looked at Xu Fan as he walked over, his face full of excitement. He said to Xu Fan, "Hello, Brother Fan."

Xu Fan held the microphone and nodded repeatedly, saying, "Hello, hello."

His humility and politeness were captured by media photographers, and he received another round of praise.

Just then, the host said, "Next, please welcome Mr. Wang Tiezhu to read the award citation for Xu Fan's award-winning work 'The Old Man and the Sea' and to present the award to Xu Fan."

As soon as he finished speaking, thunderous applause erupted once again.

Wang Tiezhu stepped onto the stage, grasped the microphone, and couldn't help but say, "This is the most exciting day of my life. I've been writing for so many years and have seen all kinds of literary authors, but I've never seen anyone as unique as Xu Fan before. He's a born author. I asked him about this book, and he said it's a realistic novel of his, so I understand his talent even more. I can only describe this book with one word, which is 'good.' But I also want to use thousands of words to describe this book, because it's still good."

As soon as he finished speaking, applause erupted again.

Both Xu Fan's fans and media personnel applauded, because at this moment they were eager to know how these literary figures would evaluate Xu Fan's book.

Wang Tiezhu continued, "Now, I will read the award citation for everyone."

After he finished speaking, everyone listened attentively. Even Xu Fan, who was standing to the side, fell silent. He knew very well that he was just leading the way in his own name, and he was also eager to hear what the Maodun Literary Prize citation would say.

Wang Tiezhu coughed and said, "One person, one boat, in the vast ocean, you are as insignificant as a speck of dust; one person, one courage, in the surging current, you are as steadfast as a mountain! 84 days of fruitless labor, 3 days and 2 nights of struggle, could not wear down your will to survive; in a contest where the odds were overwhelming, you showed us with your actions what it means to be fearless!"

Wang Tiezhu's voice was clear and powerful, each word distinct and forceful.

Everyone listened quietly, every word was breathtaking, and Wang Tiezhu continued, saying, "Xu Fan is a master of narrative art. In this novel, he used a unique narrative art to create, and his writing has reached a level of perfection. The success of 'The Old Man and the Sea' is due to his highly concise narrative skills and his simple and subtle language style. Therefore, Xu Fan deserves to receive the Maodun Literary Prize."

===Chapter 606 Do You Believe in Fate?===

As Wang Tiezhu's voice faded, everyone realized that he had only spoken a few words earlier because he wanted to save more time for presenting the award to Xu Fan at the end.

He spoke slowly, word by word, but he gave Xu Fan and this work the highest praise.

When Wang Tiezhu finished speaking, thunderous applause erupted in the room. Everyone clapped in unison, not for Wang Tiezhu's words, but for Xu Fan's work.

Even so, many people have not yet read this book.

But this doesn't prevent everyone from recognizing Xu Fan. Wang Tiezhu talked a lot, about a person and a boat, about the vast ocean, and how it stretches to the horizon.

Although he hadn't read the novel yet, the story had already come to life before Xu Fan's eyes.

No need for overwhelming emotions; everyone present understands at this moment that, as Wang Tiezhu said, this novel truly deserves its award.

This has led many to anticipate the book's success.

Caught in the middle, Zhao Yun, the editor-in-chief of the publishing house, was even more excited when she saw this scene. She knew very well that the book would become a nationwide sensation after it was published.

A work that won the Mao Dun Literature Prize, especially one by Xu Fan, is bound to have an immense ability to attract fans that is beyond the reach of countless others.

From the perspective of the Maodun Literary Prize, every Rocket's work has always had its strengths, such as "Ordinary World" and "Qin Opera".

Historically, very few works have been able to win the Maodun Literary Prize.

In addition, the name Xu Fan is also quite impressive. After all, Xu Fan's name is no longer just popular in the entertainment industry and across the internet, but is inseparable from the world of countless people.

It's because Xu Fan's songs range from square dances and songs for the elderly to various styles of music for middle-aged people, and even children's songs; Xu Fan has not overlooked any genre.

The key point is that every song by Xu Fan deserves recognition.

As soon as Wang Tiezhu finished speaking, the applause at the scene was deafening and wild, proving Xu Fan's ability.

At this moment, Wang Tiezhu spoke up: "Xu Fan, congratulations."

As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Tiezhu handed the certificate of honor to Xu Fan.

Xu Fan slowly accepted it and said earnestly, "Thank you."

In that instant, countless rounds of applause erupted from all directions, booming and resounding, filled with emotion.

Various media outlets and cameras were constantly pointed at the two, taking photos and videos like crazy.

After the photo session ended, Wang Tiezhu patted Xu Fan on the shoulder, said "Keep up the good work," and then turned and left the stage.

As Wang Tiezhu left, the host couldn't help but say, "Mr. Wang's recognition of Xu Fan shows how impactful this work is. Here, I'd like to ask Xu Fan, what are your feelings about this award? Please give your acceptance speech."

Xu Fan was taken aback; hadn't he already said that?

But he also knew that at this moment, what he was holding in his arms was the certificate of Mao Dun Literature Prize, and the prize was money. Although he didn't care about it, it was an honor.

Xu Fan had no intention of donating the money; at least, he couldn't use the phrase "I don't need money, so I'm donating it."

He can donate his own money, but he will not donate the prize money from the Maodun Literary Prize.

Because he understands very well that you can't use your own methods to morally blackmail others.

This is not about one person morally blackmailing others, but about others potentially doing so.

Not every award winner is as well-off as him, so if they don't donate when he uses that money, they will inevitably be criticized.

The key is when everyone knows that the prize money should be donated, at least when this becomes the common understanding.

How many people will actually write better works to enhance the brilliance of literature?

Therefore, when Xu Fan stood there and gave his acceptance speech, he did not mention anything about donating money. Instead, he calmly said, "Do you believe in fate?"

The question was sudden, even a little strange, but when Xu Fan asked it, many people subconsciously stopped talking and began to think about it in a daze.

Xu Fan didn't speak immediately; he stood there silently, his gaze sweeping over everyone present.

At this moment, both the audience and some literary masters backstage were somewhat puzzled, yet they could also sense the deeper meaning behind Xu Fan's question.

At this moment, Xu Fan continued, "In everyone's life, there will always be some surprises and helplessness that you can't imagine but have to accept. I think this is fate, something that is predetermined."

After he finished speaking, some people agreed and some disagreed. Xu Fan did not say anything very affirmative, but calmly continued: "I know that many people say that what is destined is the result of one's own efforts. I agree with that. What I want to say is that I am not a born writer, nor am I a born singer."

Of course, I can admit that I haven't actually worked that hard, but you also have to admit that I'm constantly learning and busy trying to do everything well. This book is a gift from heaven, not a work I created.

Xu Fan said this because he knew very well which world the author of this book came from, so he said it was a gift from heaven.

However, to the audience, this statement had a different meaning.

Xu Fan's humility is exquisite; isn't this statement just another way of describing his writing skills?

A thunderous applause erupted, with some shouting and others cheering.

Only then did everyone understand the meaning behind Xu Fan's words of destiny.

It's not that we're born with fate, but rather that fate makes all of this seem innate.

Just like many people think that hard work will eventually lead to results, Xu Fan's point is that only results can prove that you have worked hard.

Or rather, many people believe that every cause has an effect, but Xu Fan's point is that every effect has a cause.

Don't be fooled by the fact that this statement appears the same even when reversed.

But the deeper principles are hard to replace and hard to explain, because positive and negative are completely different.

The applause was constant, accompanied by screams and shouts.

Xu Fan bowed slightly, and the applause lasted for a long time.

These words made a lot of sense, which further demonstrated Xu Fan's understanding and ability of the world. The host nodded repeatedly and said, "I am really grateful for your words, which have enlightened me."

Many people actually wanted to say this, but Xu Fan humbly replied, "The results of all efforts are produced only after going all out. I don't deny my luck, but I also believe that everyone has their own world of success, and life is just as wonderful wherever they are."

As soon as he finished speaking, thunderous applause erupted.

The sound lasted a full minute, and countless people were applauding.

===Chapter 607 Using Poetry as Songs===

When the applause stopped.

The audience at the scene could not hide their excitement.

Yang Tiezhu, sitting in the audience, couldn't help but give Xu Fan a thumbs up.

Xu Fan's words seem simple, but they are full of wisdom, especially the point about how there is a cause before there is a result, which makes people want to think deeply.

Xu Fan was the last recipient of the award, so when Xu Fan's award ceremony ended, it meant that the entire Maodun Literature Prize award ceremony was over.

However, Xu Fan did not leave the stage, because the scene was extremely lively at that moment.

Everyone was talking about it and calling for Xu Fan to sing a song.

After all, in most people's hearts, Xu Fan is still that singer, that singer who sings incredibly well.

Just then, the host, as if he had already seized the opportunity, smiled and said, "Xu Fan, you see that everyone in the audience wants you to sing a song. How about you sing one for us?"

Xu Fan was surprised by the host's blunt question.

He could have refused, but at that moment he heard the shouts of countless people at the scene.

"Brother Fan, sing a song. Congratulations on winning the Mao Dun Literature Prize."

"Brother Fan, we want to hear you sing, please give us a chance."
