For the contestants, a day is just one session.

But the judges had to work with the staff, but Zhang Chu still found time to write almost 10,000 words during the intense recording process.

The competitions in Europe, Africa, Asia, and Oceania were completed one after another, and although those players were eliminated, there was not much frustration in their expressions, probably because they had made a lot of money by coming to China for free.

You can see a lot of familiar faces in the Shonan Satellite TV Broadcasting Building, and some hosts, actors, and singers are coming in and out.

The news that Zhang Chu came here to record the show has long spread, and finally dispelled the negative news hyped by the "Chinese Bridge" program team in his name.

Now the image of this product can appear on Shonan Satellite TV every day, and the advertising slogan recorded as the promotion ambassador of this year's Chinese Bridge competition has been repeatedly broadcast by Shonan Satellite TV, although it is only a few simple sentences, but it is still effective.

is both a promotion ambassador and a judge, but the remuneration for recording has not increased much, this kind of program is not generous enough.

He behaved decently in the position of judge, did not add drama to himself to steal the demeanor of the contestants, nor did he deliberately contradict the other two, after all, "Chinese Bridge" does not need to engage in some moths to compete for ratings like the birth of drama spirits.

After recording the finals in Oceania, it was already past eight o'clock in the evening, a little earlier than yesterday, but the audience was all depressed, and the staff were too tired after a hard day.

Zhang Chu removed the microphone clipped to the collar of his suit, and then walked towards his lounge with heavy steps, ready to change out of the sponsor's clothes on his body.

After he closed the door of the lounge, he asked in a low voice, "Uncle Zhou, seeing that you are smiling from ear to ear, what's the good thing?"

"This year's Kafka Prize for Literature has been announced, and guess who the winner is. ”

It's all laughing like this, is there any other answer?

Zhang Chu shrugged his shoulders: "Which of my works won this award? ”

The moment he spoke, he entered the savior system, only to see that his honor point that had been zeroed had become 1, which means that this Kafka Literary Prize is not too much of a pheasant, at least it will be recognized by the system!

Just when he was recording the show, Zhou Kang wanted to tell Zhang Chu the news, but he couldn't interrupt the recording process, and he held it back until now.

"This award is not given to the work, but to the author. As long as you have a work translated into Czech, you can be nominated. ”

Zhang Chu thought for a while and replied: "In that case, does the Kafka Prize refer to the Kafka who wrote "The Metamorphosis"?"

When he was in high school, Kafka's articles were selected as textbooks in Chinese textbooks, and there were multiple choice questions and fill-in-the-blank questions, so he was very impressed.

Zhou Kang nodded and said, "That's right, it's him." The prize was created in honour of him, Kafka was born in Prague, Czech Republic, and every year the Franz-Kafka Society awards the trophy to the writer. Although this award is quite short and the prize money is only $10,000, it is of great significance in the industry!"

"It's good to receive an award, Kafka's work is very inspiring. ”

"But it's not just that, people in the industry pay attention to it purely because this award is known as the weather vane of the Nobel Prize. ”

Zhang Chu stood in the dressing room while changing clothes and chatting with the agent outside, "Is it the vane of the Nobel Prize in Literature? ”

The reason for setting up weather vanes such as the Oscars is that the judges are actually the same people, for example, the Oscar winners and actresses must be actor judges to vote, and these judges are precisely the people of the Screen Actors Guild Award, so the latter can become the vane of the Oscars.

I really don't understand the relationship between the Kafka Prize for Literature and the Nobel Prize for Literature!

Zhou Kang is actually a little ignorant, what he learned is all he heard from the Internet and from Random House and Nanhai Publishing Company, "The reason why it is the vane of the Nobel Prize is because the winner of the Kafka Prize has overlapped with the winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature awarded later many times, which is not once or twice, and the probability is very high." ”

"It feels like putting me on a fire, it's too difficult to win the Nobel Prize at my age and the thickness of my work, and the media and readers don't associate me with the Nobel Prize at all. Now that I have won the Kafka Prize, after its nickname spreads, it is estimated that many people are waiting for me to attack the Nobel Prize, and if I can't win it for decades, I will be described as a Nobel Prize complainer......"

Zhang Chu couldn't help but wail, he is obviously a commercial writer, most of his works are popular books for the public, and he is not deeply accomplished in the field of literature, what moved the Kafka Society?

Or is it that the Czech writers really can't stand up the wall, so they have to choose themselves as an Asian writer, or a global bestseller, to raise the reputation of the award?

All kinds of speculations flashed through his mind, and he was a little irritated.

Zhou Kang looked at Zhang Chu, who had regained his freshness, and said jokingly: "Since you think this award is a hot potato, otherwise we will secretly discuss it with this association and just don't accept it." ”

"The key depends on whether the news comes out now, if there is no news, maybe others are willing to change. If there is news and we refuse to accept the award, it will be a slap in the face, and we will be scolded for being cheap and behaved!"

If the expectations are too high, you will often be disappointed, and Zhang Chu is well aware of this danger.

"It must have been too late. You look at the mobile phone messages, it should be all over the sky, our company is too poor to afford hot searches, and your hot searches should be true. ”

He is not a small traffic fresh meat, there is no need to toss bullshit big things to be on the hot search to maintain the popularity of the emperor's new clothes.

Now the topic of "Zhang Chu Kafka Literary Award" is hanging in the ninth place on the Weibo hot search list, and the front is full of news such as what is crying and who has been wronged.

Under this hot search, the number of readers and passers-by is mixed, and it seems that public opinion is quite good.

"Congratulations to Zhang Chu for mentioning the hot search"

"Kafka Literary Prize, we only learned Metamorphosis this year, and I feel like the dimensional wall has been broken!"

"Yes, yes, the first one in Asia to win this award, it is worthy of praise!"

"It is said that more than sixty percent of the writers who won this award won the Nobel Prize in Literature, I don't know if Zhang Chuda is 60% or that 40%"

"Wow, doesn't that mean the Nobel Prize is promising?"

"Please calm down and be reasonable, the Nobel Prize is not directly related to the Kafka Prize, don't exaggerate~~"

"Wait, this shouldn't be as high as the Houston movie queen, right?"

"It's amazing, Mr. Xiao Zhang is really fragrant inside the wall!"
