Chapter 63 The road is narrow
For a writer like Uncle Liang Qi, who has been famous for a long time, it is simply normal to receive gifts from publishing houses or magazines.
There is also the number of sample books or recommendations from various publishers.
After all, on the top of Uncle Liang Qi's head, there is also a glorious halo of the forerunner of domestic martial arts novels, and many juniors want him to write the preface.
Of course, in these circumstances, what he hopes most is to receive some unexpected awards from time to time.
As we all know, due to the rapid economic development of our country, the demand for cultural products among the general public is also increasing.
This led to the eighties and nineties, which can be said to be the most golden peak era of traditional print writers.
Correspondingly, a variety of awards and organizing committees have been added to the literary community.
Naturally, the awards awarded by these organizing committees every year will cover a wide range.
Of course, the most authoritative and influential awards are still those named after some pioneer literary masters after the founding of the People's Republic of China.
However, as long as it is an award, who would have too much?
The writers also raised their hands in favor of and welcomed the various award committees that suddenly emerged.
Like Uncle Liang Qi in previous years, almost every month, he would receive more than five nominations for awards.
However, due to the decline in the efficiency of the cultural industry in recent years, and the number of high-quality literary works on the market has become less and less, it is very funny that many award committees that used to seem to be very famous have gone out of business.
As a result, Uncle Liang Qi also did not receive relevant award nominations and award notices for a period of time.
Of course, the main reason for this is that he himself has no strong output.
Without works, it is naturally difficult to be nominated for awards by relying on some previous masterpieces.
"Alas, the world has really changed, everyone smells of copper, and there are fewer people reading books......"
Walking out of the house, Uncle Liang Qi looked up at the blue sky, and he really missed the era when he won awards so softly!
But if you think about it carefully, it has only been a few years since that kind of grand occasion.
He couldn't figure out why the world had changed so much.
It always feels like a century has passed.
Guang'an Villa is a mid-to-high-end villa area, and general courier security guards will not put it in.
Therefore, the owner's courier will be placed in a special storage position in the security room.
The security guard will usually personally help the owner deliver the goods to the door every evening, and the owner can also come and pick it up.
Uncle Liang Qi, who had been bored in the house for several days, did not call the security guard to send him to the door, so he went out for a walk to relieve his depressed mood.
"The book "The Condor Heroes" is really a pity. ”
Walking to the door of the security room, Uncle Liang Qi couldn't help but feel a little pity in his heart.
Even, more than once, he wondered if he had written this book...... He would never let the little dragon girl be defiled no matter what.
How can you bear it!
This author is really too doggy.
If you have the opportunity to see it, you must take advantage of its unpreparedness and kick it hard first.
"Yo, Mr. Liang, you can also pick up the courier in person!"
Walking into the security room, Uncle Liang Qi's thoughts were interrupted by an annoying voice.
He looked up, and sure enough, it was this disgusting face.
It was a lewd middle-aged man whose hair was almost gone, but he was a representative writer of the "New Urban School" that was currently in the limelight in the literary world.
The pen name "Old Cat" specializes in writing about men and women in Sex and the City.
From nurses, flight attendants to beautiful female teachers, they can fully use their imagination to write a series of "new urban genre" novels that sell very well.
The most representative series of works of Lao Mao is the "shared house" series of works.
Many male readers are happy to read but not easy to admit to reading the series of works, such as "The Days of Sharing a House with a Flight Attendant", "The Days of Sharing a House with a Beautiful Female Nurse", etc., all of which have brought Lao Mao millions of royalties a year.
The new urban genre novel, under the leadership of the old cat, very unexpectedly saved the decadent traditional publishing industry.
Naturally, it hit the two major categories of writers of the "traditional martial arts novel genre" dominated by Liang Qishu and the "traditional vernacular literature genre" dominated by the pen name "Don't Say".
A few years ago, after Lao Mao's first publication of "The Days of Sharing a House with a Flight Attendant" caused a sensation and repercussions, Uncle Liang Qi publicly criticized and suppressed some literary critics and writers.
It is precisely because of this that the two have formed some grudges.
Last year, the old cat knew that Uncle Liang Qi lived in this community, so he also spent tens of millions of dollars to buy the No. 1 villa in the community.
Uncle Liang Qi is the No. 3 villa, and he happened to be properly pressed by him.
As a result, Uncle Liang Qi had a period of nearly a month last year, and he didn't even go out of the door, and he didn't sleep in the master bedroom on the balcony on the second floor, because he could directly see the huge and luxurious swimming pool of Villa No. 1 from there.
Moreover, with the sales and influence of these new urban novels of the old cat increasing greatly, every time Uncle Liang Qi met him in the community, he inevitably shortened by three points first.
At the beginning, I still had the confidence to quarrel with him a few times, but then I was almost one-sided and attacked and ridiculed by him.
Just like now, Uncle Liang Qi, who walked into the security room, saw that the old cat was opening a courier that looked beautifully packaged in public, and his heart instantly chuckled.
"Popular literature?"
Uncle Liang Qi saw the sign outside the express package, which is the most influential literary magazine in China.
Even if the influence of print media has declined too much now, it is still a very important magazine for the writer group.
And, what's worse is that Uncle Liang just remembered that in the annual literary award of "Popular Literature" not long ago, Lao Mao seemed to win an award for "representative works of new genres".
Although this award is new, it is not a big award, but in front of Uncle Liang Qi, who has not won any awards for more than a year, it is quite a show off.
Really......
After taking out the exquisite award certificate, the old cat pretended to look disgusted and said: "Oh! This "Popular Literature" has to give me this award, I have told their award committee, if I don't give me the award of 'Most Influential Author', I will not ask for other awards!"
"Dether!"
Uncle Liang Qi pretended not to hear it, and went to the shelf to find his express package.
He regretted that he came to pick up the courier in person today, but he ran into the old cat, and he was completely unhappy to find it by himself.
"Teacher Liang, can you come and take a look...... What kind of new genre do they mean? What kind of new genre do I have, I just write whatever I want, and I'm lucky enough to be liked by readers......
The old cat took the opened certificate, came up very proudly, and then pretended to be casual and said, "Mr. Liang, what kind of courier are you taking? Presumably, you must have won some kind of award!
"Why, I don't have as much skill as you. ”
Uncle Liang Qi said angrily, but when he saw that the outside of his package was marked by the "Destination Chinese Network", he chuckled in his heart.
Not good!
This is sent by the end Chinese network, and it is certainly not a good thing!
The editor of the bullshit website before was very unceremoniously saying to himself that "martial arts is dead", and he didn't even give a good recommendation, can he expect them to give him any awards or gifts?
Wait!Awards?
Finished!
Uncle Liang Qi suddenly remembered that not long ago, he heard some friends in the literary world say that in order to stimulate the passion and desire of the majority of writers, the Writers' Association is planning to hold "negative influence" awards with some literary websites.
To put it simply......
It is through the convenient research ability and influence of literary websites to select some awards such as "Best Regression Award", "Readers Hate the Author" and so on.
Won't it ......
The end point Chinese network sent itself such an award, right?
