Just when the wave of "Terminator" swept the world, Guo Dalu, who was taking care of his wife at home and was in a hurry to write the script the rest of the time, received a call from the old writer Lei Yu.

"Dalu, if you have time, accompany me on a trip to China in a few days, my nomination for the Nobel Prize has already been approved, and the list of winners will be announced in these two days, I should be the winner of this year's literary award, and you will accompany me to receive the award when the time comes." ”

Although the heat is the Nobel Prize that has attracted global attention, Lei Yu talked about it, but he didn't care much about it, and he didn't mean to call Guo Dalu, but he was just saying one thing plainly, as if saying "It's raining today" and "The weather is very good", he said casually, and his tone was undulating.

If others see this kind of reaction of Lei Yu, they will definitely think that the old man is a bit fake, but in Guo Dalu's view, this is the mentality that a literati should have.

In fact, among the many awards of the Nobel Prize, the literature award should be the one with the largest water content, because literature is something that cannot be digitized, and the culture of each country has its distinctive characteristics.

Moreover, the literary award is very closely related to politics, and it is one of the continuations of politics, and only the author of a rich or well-known country has the possibility of winning the award, or his work is in line with the aesthetic taste of the mainstream Western culture, and it is also possible to win the award.

Therefore, in the world-class authors, many authors do not take the Nobel Prize in Literature seriously.

In the eyes of top literary masters, this kind of award full of political overtones is not a matter of much attention, and there have been many cases in history that have voluntarily abandoned the award, and it is because of this.

The international institutions and awards set up by Western countries are full of political colors, such as Amnesty International, rating agencies, media and public opinion, human rights organizations, the World Bank, the Oscars, the Nobel Prize, the Olympic Committee, FIFA, and so on.

Moreover, these institutions and awards have their own functions.

For example, rating agencies are used to shear sheep, media public opinion is used to demonize and isolate opponents, and various awards are used to cultivate dissidents, as long as a person in a hostile country is given a grand prize, he becomes a celebrity, and his words have weight, and as long as he stands up against the government, it plays the role of a hundred responses, which is a "color revolution".

In the eyes of the West, Huaxia is just a disobedient student and a troublemaker, how can it give you a prize?

That's right, the West has indeed given some awards to China recently, but that is a last resort, because China's performance in all aspects has been too good recently, and if the West does not give awards to the Chinese, it will lose its authority and representativeness, so the West has to look for some Chinese people to come out to receive the award in order to consolidate the authority of the West, but that's all.

After really seeing the essence of this matter, then you will find that there is really nothing to be proud of in receiving this kind of award, of course, it is a good thing in itself to win the award, and if it is not necessary, there is no need to refuse.

Especially in the minds of most Chinese people, because of long-term hype and exaggeration, the Nobel Prize in Literature has become the highest award recognized by the people.

But these people forget that it is money and cannons that really make the people stand up, and that such things as literature are only patterns on money and decorations on cannons.

Guo Dalu sees this kind of thing clearly, so it is not uncommon for the Nobel Prize to be awarded at all, and accepting awards from others does not show his ability at all.

However, it is because China can't get it that it praises the Nobel Prize in Literature as a flower, because what you can't get is the most beautiful.

But if you really want to get it, in fact, that's what it is, and it can only produce a momentary sensation.

"Hey, you old man! Are you so sure that you can win the prize? Can I tell you, people can't be too proud, and you know that you are happy and sad? When I was a child, I was beaten up for stealing my father's money to buy something to eat, and I was happy to say that I was bald! It can be seen that people cannot get too carried away, otherwise the result will be very unsatisfactory. ”

Lei Yu is full of confidence, "There should be no more mistakes, Taro Yamamoto who lost to the Japanese country last time, this time it should not be defeated by others again, and our country will not allow this kind of behavior to happen one after another." ”

He laughed and said: "When the country's strength arrives, someone will naturally give it face!"

Guo Dalu thought so, "When will the lottery be drawn? If you really win the prize, I can accompany you to have fun." But old man, why did you ask me to go with you? Aren't there a lot of people in the association? What is the point of me being a supernumerary, so what is the point of following you?"

Lei Yu smiled: "You are now a supernumerary, but sooner or later you will be a member of the establishment." With your cultural contributions, with your guidance and influence on world culture in the future, your chances of winning the Nobel Prize are very high, and if you are not a member of the Writers' Association after winning the Nobel Prize, you are willing to be a country rather than a member! That is a slap in the face of everyone, so you must be a member of the Writers' Association!"

Guo Dalu sighed, "Damn, you can see things quite clearly!"

Some things are indeed as Lei Yu said, even if Guo Dalu is not very willing, for the sake of the overall image of the country, sometimes he has to make some compromises.

Although no one can force him if he is unwilling, this kind of confrontation is completely unnecessary, and from the perspective of the overall situation, it is still very necessary to maintain a decent image of the Chinese literary circles.

The two chatted for a long time, and finally Lei Yu said: "Otherwise, if you are like this, anyway, there are still a few days before the list is announced, you can simply come to participate in a few recent literary exchange meetings, the right is to pass the time, it is best to spray a few more words, and give these people a little vitality!"

Lei Yu gloated a little: "I guess you dare to shoot at everyone at the exchange meeting, I really want to see you teach this group of guys a lesson now." ”

When he said this, his voice lowered, "Nowadays, some of these people who are engaged in literature are becoming more and more disagreeable!"

can make the usually peaceful thunderstorm say such things, which shows how rotten the writers' association has become.

After hanging up the phone, Guo Dalu sat quietly in the room for a while, smoked a cigarette, and then turned on the computer to check some information about the Nobel Prize in the world.

Unlike the Nobel Prize in another world, which is awarded in October, the Nobel Prize in this world is announced on February 5, and no later than February 15.

The judging committee receives letters of recommendation from various countries in July every year, then makes a long list in October, selects the final five in December, and does not announce the winners until February of the following year, and finally holds an award party in Sweden in March.

Now that a month has passed since the release of "The Terminator", the Spring Festival is coming, and the second month of the solar calendar is just around the corner.

After the New Year, it is time to announce the list.
