Chapter 219: Think About It (Part 1)
In the middle of the night, Wu Xiaotian made Hu Yidao say inexplicably. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
He asked strangely: "Brother Hu, aren't we having something to do, you are in the publishing house, I am in the TV station, you should not have left your job." ”
Hu Yidao realized that he was sick in his words, and hurriedly changed it and said: "No, I said it wrong just now, you have something to do." ”
"Isn't it still the same? ”
Wu Xiaotian felt that Hu Yidao was a little excited today, and he spoke upside down.
"Wait, I'll think about what to say. Hu Yidao was silent for a while before he spoke again: "Xiaotian, that's the case, I just got a message that the Chinese Literature Grand Prix is about to start. ”
"Huaxia Literature Grand Prix?" Wu Xiaotian was stunned, he didn't hear about this competition, so he asked, "Brother Hu, what is this?"
Hu Yidao continued: "This contest was jointly organized by the Chinese government and the Chinese Artists Association, as well as various organizations such as major newspapers and magazines in China, and online platforms, which was held for the first time this year. ”
"What's going on?" Wu Xiaotian asked.
"This should be led by the Chinese government, because recently there are fewer and fewer literary works in China, and foreign literature is constantly sending to China, and many best-selling works on the market are now foreign novels, so in order to change this situation, the Chinese government has joined forces with many organizations to set up this competition. ”
Hu Yidao has now regained his composure, and he no longer has the appearance of talking excitedly when he first heard the news.
"This ......," Wu Xiaotian said, "can all types of novels participate?"
"Yes. Hu Yidao nodded, and then he laughed again and said: "However, this year is only a preliminary pilot of martial arts novels, so I just said that we have something to do, and this is a great opportunity to win the award." ”
"Martial arts novels are being piloted in the early stage. Wu Xiaotian didn't understand.
Hu Yidao explained: "Yes, the main reasons are: first, the original time period of this competition is once a year, but now the time is already August, and there is not enough time for all types of novels to participate." ”
"Second, the Chinese government's expectations for this literary contest are very high, he wants to make this contest a literary festival, they are afraid of lack of experience, and finally mess up, so they decided to use this year's contest as a pilot, not an official competition, only for martial arts novels, and then from this year's competition to get lessons learned, to next year, all literary works, including poetry, short stories, science fiction and other novel genres can participate, they should also have their own awards, no conflict. ”
Wu Xiaotian was stunned.
This contest seems to be of a very high grade.
Moreover, this year, only the martial arts category is used as a pilot, and other literary works will not participate for the time being.
That is to say, all the institutions participating in this competition, many of their resources will be invested in this martial arts novel, and the works that can participate will get a high exposure.
There is no doubt that the martial arts novelist who won the final award and his works will definitely be rated as classics, and as long as people in the future mention the Chinese Literature Grand Prix, they will first think of this martial arts author and his works.
Even though this year's competition is not yet official, it is only a preliminary pilot, but it is still very attractive.
It is conceivable that as soon as this competition starts, it will attract the attention of countless people.
"Is that all people can participate?" Wu Xiaotian asked.
Hu Yidao said: "Yes, this is a competition with the participation of the whole people, with preliminaries and finals. ”
"However, the institutions involved in organizing this competition can select a novel by themselves to directly enter the finals, and we are ready to recommend you to Yang Mingyang, the general typesetting of our New Wave Publishing House. ”
"Recommend me?"
Hu Yidao laughed and said: "Yes, I recommend you, this meeting is what Mr. Yang went to attend, he just called me as soon as possible to discuss this matter with me, and then asked me to inform you to prepare early." ”
Wu Xiaotian said with a little doubt: "However, there should be many other martial arts novelists in the New Wave Publishing House, and their artist level should be a little higher, so there will be no problems?"
Hu Yidao said disdainfully: "I don't know about other types of novels, but as far as martial arts novels are concerned, at least in our New Wave Publishing House, no one can compare to you, whether it is the quality of the novel or the sales of the novel, it is not as good as you, as for the artist level, it is a yarn." ”
"No, it won't. ”
"Why not? The sales of the latest issue came out, and in our publishing house, Xiaobei's book is 200,000 copies higher than the second place. Hu Yidao said with a smile.
"This is all the result of your help in publicizing Brother Hu. Wu Xiaotian said modestly.
However, he knows in his heart that there must be credit for his recent participation in the "Where Are You Going, Dad" program.
"These are all trivial things, I have already agreed to it for you just now, you are participating in this Grand Prix, you have to prepare well. ”
"But, Brother Hu, I haven't decided to participate in this competition yet. Wu Xiaotian said with a wry smile.
It is undeniable that when he first heard about this Grand Prix, there was an inexplicable expectation in his heart.
There is no doubt that this grand prix is extremely attractive to all martial arts novelists, regardless of whether they win or not, the participants and his novels will gain great popularity.
However, Wu Xiaotian thought about it a lot in the process of speaking just now.
He is now working at Anyuan Provincial TV Station, and is still participating in the variety show "Where Are You Going, Dad", although this show has become regular.
However, with the stabilization of the ratings, as well as the increase in popularity, there will definitely be other commercial activities in addition to filming and recording programs.
In the past few weeks, the program team has all been focused on the recording and editing of the program, because the program has just started and has experienced the factor of adjusting the broadcast time, and everyone has no time to care about other things.
Just because you don't have time to take care of it doesn't mean you don't have it.
During his casual chat with Sister Li, he learned that many partner companies were interested in inviting them to participate in the event, but Sister Li withdrew all of them because the show had just started, but as soon as the program was stable, it would definitely not be able to be pushed again.
As for this Grand Prix, it is not known what time requirements are for the author and the novel.
Therefore, he was afraid that he would not have enough time, and in the end he did not please both sides.
When Hu Yidao heard Wu Xiaotian's words, he immediately shouted and said, "Brother Xiaobei, you must not say that there is no decision, I have packed the ticket to the publishing house." ”
Wu Xiaotian was a little embarrassed for a while, so he said, "Okay, Brother Hu, I'll think about it again." (To be continued.) )
