Zhuang Yan was very surprised that Marcel would appear at the Courier Award and win a fish belly award such as the "Caring Humanities Award".

Zhuang Yan's knowledge of Marcel was limited to the fact that he later won the Goncourt Literary Prize for the second part of "Reminiscences", "By the Girl's Side", and Zhuang Yan could not remember which year he won the award.

Isn't this guy famous? Or is time and space dislocated, and his experience has changed? Or is the Marcel on stage not the Marcel he thinks he is, just the same name.

However, Zhuang Yan glanced at the introduction of the award-winning works on the big screen, and it was indeed the first "On the Side of the Swan" of "Reminiscing Like Water".

Marcel Proust on the stage looked to be in his forties, dressed in a suit and leather shoes, and looking at his happy expression, it seemed that he was very satisfied that he was able to win this award.

"Do you know this Marcel Proust?" Zhuang Yan asked Yao Qian next to him, leaning sideways.

Yao Qian looked carefully at Marcel in the stands, and then shook his head, "I haven't heard of this person, what's wrong?"

"Not much, it's just familiar, I can't remember where I've seen it. ”

Yao Qian smiled, "Foreigners don't all look the same, and it's normal to look familiar." ”

Zhuang Yan hummed and didn't speak again, he was almost sure that the Marcel Proust on the stage was the Marcel Proust in his memory, but time and space changed, this Marcel obviously had some changes with the experience of the previous Marcel, as for whether he would have the achievements of the previous life in the future, Zhuang Yan did not dare to assert.

Marcel Proust spoke for a short time, about a dozen seconds, and the audience did not react, and some of the sparse applause sounded embarrassing.

The literary circle is also very realistic, and if you are not famous, others will not give you face.

Everyone was surprised, the party Marcel also waved his hand downward, and he saw Zhuang Yan who was applauding warmly at a glance, and suddenly felt a little curious, is this hot writer in the contemporary literary world so optimistic about himself?

Or is it just that the Chinese are so enthusiastic?

Zhuang Yan looked at him and gave him an encouraging look again.

Marcel, who was in his forties, saw the eyes of Zhuang Yan in his twenties, and his heart suddenly shook, no matter what age he is, he will definitely have a sense of happiness, not to mention the literature he cares about the most, and the person who encourages him is a master of the literary world.

"I can see that Mr. Proust, who has won the 'Caring for the Humanities Award', is very excited, but in consideration of the time of the ceremony, please come with me here. Seeing Marcel standing on the stage stunned, the host politely reminded him that it was time to step down.

Marcel blushed and hurriedly walked off the podium.

"The next award we are going to present is the 'Environmental Contribution Award', and we would like to ask our award presenter to ......"

The ceremony continued, another useless chicken rib award.

Time passed little by little, and the chicken rib awards have been awarded, and some more important awards have begun to be awarded later.

The award committee did not give him a flow chart, so Zhuang Yan did not know when his award would be awarded.

However, the foreign award he won was a second-class award, and according to the characteristics of general awards, his award should be faster.

But after waiting for a long time, the relatively important awards such as "Outstanding Short Story Award" and "Outstanding Drama Script Award" were awarded, but I still didn't wait for my own award.

Then he waited and waited for the most important award of this award ceremony, the "Outstanding Feature-length Award".

Zhuang Yan sat down and raised his eyebrows, the most important awards have been awarded, why hasn't it been his turn to win a foreign award.

Yao Qian's expression next to him was also a little complicated, "Boss, did you say they forgot your award, or did they put your award behind the Outstanding Feature-length Award?"

It should be impossible to forget, if such a big accident happens, then the face of the French government is estimated to be lost. But the foreign country will be awarded after the Outstanding Feature Award...... Isn't this award committee licking a little too much?

Sophie Marceau on the stage is giving a speech, her award-winning work is the long story "White Doves on the Eiffel Tower" published last year, Zhuang Yan has not heard of it before, but I inquired before I came, this Sophie Marceau is a hot female writer in France in recent years.

The book "The White Dove on the Eiffel Tower" also sold well last year, and Sophie Marceau is a commercial and literary author in her own right.

Sophie Marceau is not very old, she should not look more than forty years old. Her speech was very long, and the audience was also very cheering, and the applause was thunderous and endless.

Zhuang Yan was a little embarrassed, he didn't know French, so when others applauded, he didn't know whether to applaud or not, and he didn't know what she was talking about, isn't it too hypocritical.

But when the English interpretation came out and he finally understood, the Frenchmen stopped applauding, and it seemed that it was a little bad for him to applaud alone.

Messing around, he could only put his hands together and keep patting gently, just make a show anyway.

Sophie Marceau roughly talked about his mental journey in creating "White Doves on the Eiffel Tower", and Zhuang Yan probably knew that this was a romantic love.

In the past two years, romanticism has been quite popular, and most of the works are critical of history. It's just interesting that in the past, when there were many struggles, the mainstream struggle of romanticism was rebellion, and it was a positive romanticism that yearned for a better life without hesitation.

But now that life is much better and the class struggle has become less, Romanticism tends to be negative, and most of the works hide boredom and escape, trying to detach themselves from the real world, and only find comfort and sustenance on the spiritual level.

I haven't read Sophie Marceau's book, so I don't know what kind of person she belongs to. In fact, most authors may not even be able to say clearly what they want to express, and some subconscious things will be revealed at the tip of the pen and hidden deeply, but the writer himself can't find it.

After a long while, Sophie Marceau finally went down and the host stood back on the stage.

"I would now like to present the last award of this ceremony, and I have the honour to present the award, Mr. Roland. ”

Only then did Zhuang Yan see Roman Rolland, who was in a row with him, with seven or eight people in the middle.

Romain Rolland walked up to the podium with a smile, looked at the people below with his hand card and said, "The award that will be announced now is the most special award of this award conference, and I have always advocated that French literature should not rest on its laurels and actively communicate with the literature of other countries." So in my heart, this foreign award has the heaviest weight and the most meaning in my heart. ”

Sure enough, did the foreign award come last? And invited Romain Rolland to present the award, I have to say that the award committee is really open-minded.

When he was a guest at Romain Rolland's house before, he didn't say a word about the awards, and this old man was really strict.
