"Recently, the development of the literary and artistic circles has been good. Zhuang Yan turned his head to look at Wang Lijian and stubbornly shifted the topic to him.

Wang Lijian naturally knew that he was talking about the website, and said with a smile, "The momentum is good, but I am also busy in the past few days of the New Year, so I don't pay too much attention to the data of the website." ”

"What are you busy with, you turn around with Zhuang Yan every day. Ma Yinchu joked, and said, "But you can't do it if you don't go with Zhuang Yan, after all, Zhuang Yan, the big Buddha, is directly related to the future of the website." ”

"Brother Yuan Shan, what you said is an exaggeration, there are thousands of writers on the website of the literary and art world, and they are really the cornerstone of the website. Zhuang Yan said.

Kang Youwei and the others originally wanted to continue to talk about Zhuang Yan's new book, but they didn't pull back when the topic shifted. Speaking of the website, Cai Yuanpei frowned and thought for a while, and then said, "Zijian, I had an idea before, but it has never been very mature. ”

"Principal Cai, you said. ”

"Last year, because of Zhuang Yan's birth, the literary world received a lot of cì jī, and I wondered if I could take advantage of this wind and push it harder. Nowadays, after many years of the Renaissance, the older generation of writers has been shackled in their thinking, and their works have not broken through, and the new generation is living in the shadow of the older generation and cannot come out. Cai Yuanpei earnestly analyzed the situation of the domestic Renaissance in recent years, "In recent years, the younger generation has also made a Zhuang Yan. Although geniuses are good, the literary world is not rejuvenated just by the birth of a genius, and if you want the literary world to flourish for a long time, you still need more young people to stand up. ”

After he said such a reason, Wang Lijian didn't know what he was going to say, so he asked, "Then I don't know what Mr. Cai's good plan is?"

"Whether it's a good strategy or not is still unknown, but I want the literary and art world website to cooperate with our Yenching University to do an essay competition. Cai Yuanpei said his final thoughts.

"Essay Grand Prix?" Lian Liwen on the side frowned and said, "Our country's literary awards are not less, not to mention the four awards, there are countless literary awards on various newspaper websites and local institutions. ”

Wang Lijian is also a little optimistic, "Our website's essay is not nothing, there will always be two special essays every year, but with little effect, you also know, our website is a semi-public welfare nature, and the money earned every year is just enough for the website to operate, and there is really not much money left to do essays, but even so, there are a lot of essay bonuses in previous years, but it still doesn't help." Moreover, the selection of essays is also difficult, and if you just look at the number of readings, the selected works will inevitably be a little unsatisfactory. First, there is a high probability that there will be a number of clicks in the middle, and second, there are many books with poor literary quality, but the content is on the cutting edge. ”

He said that "the sword goes sideways" is already implicit, in fact, there are also many obscenities and thieves on the websites of the literary and art circles, playing the side ball, in fact, they are some vulgar works.

Wang Lijian laid out the difficulties one by one, and Cai Yuanpei nodded, "I naturally know that there will be difficulties, but the essay I proposed this time is a little different, it is just the cooperation between our Yenching University and the website of the literary and artistic circles." As for how to select, we will find some teachers from the school to do it, that is to say, your literary and art website only needs to provide a platform. ”

"In this way, there will be nothing to do with our literary and art website. Wang Lijian wondered, "Then Yenching University only needs to hold its own essay competition, and if it needs to be promoted on the platform, it only needs to upload the work to the website of the literary and art world." ”

Cai Yuanpei looked at Wang Lijian, and then glanced at Zhuang Yan again, touching his beard and not knowing what he was thinking.

Zhuang Yan was glanced at by him, his eyelids twitched, and he said that this old Cai glanced at himself inexplicably, maybe there was nothing good.

"In addition to the platform, I also hope that your website can establish a reward mechanism, which is not easy for students, although the material cì jī is a bit cheesy, but it is an effective means of encouragement. Your literary and art website has mature publishing channels, if the students' works win awards, help them publish them. ”

Wang Lijian was stunned, Cai Yuanpei said for a long time that he was waiting for him here, and he dared to love that in addition to providing a platform, the literary and artistic website also had to provide prizes, which was equivalent to the literary and artistic website sponsoring the Yenching University Essay Award. In the end, the websites of the literary and art circles contributed money and efforts, but there was no benefit.

The other people present naturally understood what Cai Yuanpei meant, Zhuang Yan and Ma Yinchu glanced at each other, and they were all surprised in each other's eyes.

Zhuang Yan didn't expect Cai Yuanpei to propose this kind of "unequal treaty" in front of so many people, if Wang Lijian agreed, then the literary and art website would really be alive.

However, he didn't worry about Wang Lijian yet, Cai Yuanpei said again, "If your literary and art websites feel pressure, and you feel that this essay will not attract attention, I have a proposal, you can find a name for this essay competition." ”

Wang Lijian rolled his eyes and said, "It's better to use Mr. Cai's name." ”

Cai Yuanpei shook his head with a smile, "I'm the principal of the school, what's the use of using my name, I've thought about it for you, isn't there a ready-made candidate." ”

As he spoke, he looked at Zhuang Yan, and when he looked at him, Zhuang Yan felt a chill on his back, and then he understood what Cai Yuanpei meant by the glance he looked at him just now, and it turned out that he wanted to drag him into the water.

Everyone followed Cai Yuanpei's gaze to Zhuang Yan, and then nodded thoughtfully, now if you want to say who is the hottest in the literary world, it is not intentional that it is the Chinese pioneer writer in front of you, this year's Pu Songling Award winner - Zhuang Yan.

Liu He squinted at Cai Yuanpei and said, "Ziyan is still young and not qualified enough, how can you name it after him, I think it's better to use your own name." ”

Zhuang Yan glanced at Liu He gratefully, after all, he was his own teacher, and he still thought about himself. Naming an award after him may sound like a lot of showmanship, but it's not a good thing.

No matter how famous he is, his age is here, not long after he won the Pu Songling Award, and now he has to get an award himself, and being known by the outside world must be another boiling scene. Cai Yuanpei's move was undoubtedly to roast him on the fire.
