People's Publishing House, inside the office.

The heads of all the departments in the club have all taken their seats, and they are looking at the door expectantly.

The door opened, and the president, who was in his 50s, walked in with the contract in his hand and said excitedly: "The contract has been signed, and we have obtained the exclusive copyright in the five major publishing houses." ”

Wow!

Applause erupted.

"Great!"

"Just after the New Year, we signed a hit work, and the New Year is auspicious!"

"Normally, the sales of popular works must be several times higher than that of academic works, and this is Li Fan's work, my mother!"

"I boldly estimate that the sales volume is 4 million, and 5 million is not a big problem!"

……

In the midst of everyone's laughter, the president sat down and said, "Because it is the annual vacation, many people here have not read the manuscript of this book, so I will briefly introduce this book."

The book "Flying High" is a literary work with the most bizarre writing, the most absurd plot, the strongest black humor, and the strongest language charm I have ever seen.

I have never seen such a strong personal style in the market, and Mr. Li told me that his book should be classified as absurd literature. ”

Everyone was shocked and didn't understand.

"President, what is absurd literature, we haven't heard of it!"

"It can't be founded by Li Fan himself, right?"

"Yes, Mr. Li has created a unique writing style," the president opened the printed manuscript of "Flying High", found the preface, and then started from a certain paragraph, reading word by word, line by line, "Absurd literature, as the name suggests, is to use absurd techniques to express the absurdity of society and human existence, through exaggeration, symbolism, metaphor and other techniques...... This is called absurd literature. ”

After reading the interpretation of absurd literature in the book, the president said: "I will give you a brief introduction to the content of the story in the book "Flying High", and as for the printed version of the book, I have asked Xiao Wang to bind it.

In this book, a beautiful 15-year-old girl wakes up one morning to find that she has two thin, delicate wings growing on her back, and she can even control the flapping of the wings, but she cannot fly. She turned into a monster.

In the summer, she wore a thick coat and went to school with anxiety and low self-esteem......

One night, when she was looking at the starry sky from the balcony, a baby fell straight from the upper floor, and she immediately reached out to support the little life, but the whole person was also pulled and fell downstairs, and in a hurry, the wings broke through the clothes, flapped strongly, and quickly maintained the balance.

……

The girl will fly. Every night in the dead of night, she would sneak up to the rooftop and spread her wings to soar to her heart's content.

……

Soon, news such as "winged humanoid monsters in the city" was reported wildly, some saying it was a racial mutation in a laboratory, others saying it was an alien invasion. Among the crowd, some people said that their high-rise house was stolen by the winged monster!

……”

The president briefly recounts the plot of "Flying High", which is a repeated twist, the girl can't in order to prove that she is a normal human being, and finally desperately tries to prove that she is harmless to humans in order to survive.

She has been involved in several extremely dangerous rescue operations, and even in a fire, in order to rescue a family trapped in a high-rise, she was disfigured by the flames, and her wings were burned with some feathers.

She lay on the ground moaning in pain, the people who were moved put out the fire for her, she was admitted to the hospital, and the people of the whole country prayed for her. She was no longer the monster she was, but an angel who guarded humanity.

The news of her deeds was overwhelming all over the world, and she finally stopped feeling inferior to the extra wings, and she soared happily and freely, and she dated the beautiful boy who adored her.

……

And the beautiful story soon ended, a new infectious disease appeared in mankind, and the laboratories could not develop a vaccine in a short period of time, and a scientist stumbled upon the girl's feathers left in the fire, believing that the feathers were virus vectors. The girl was wanted and forced to embark on a career as a fugitive.

……

In the end, it was a misunderstanding, and the whole people apologized.

A few years later, a scientific team that followed the girl discovered that the girl's wings had the ability to replicate, and through technical means, it was possible to breed several flying humans.

In the name of humanity, the scientific team asked the girl to dedicate her wings and give her a medal for special contribution to humanity, but the girl refused.

At the public trial, the opposing girl stood in the dock, and she was firmly locked.

In a fair, open and impartial tone, the judge announced the opening of the public trial. At the public trial, the girl argued for herself and denounced the evil deeds of human beings against her.

The last paragraph of the text is a sentence shouted by her husband, who was seduced by profit, in the crowd:

"She's so ugly, she doesn't deserve such beautiful wings!"

This concludes the full text.

After the president gave a brief introduction to the plot, the conference room fell silent for a while.

The president said: "I just introduced the plot, but the style of writing in this book is not tragic, Mr. Li uses a kind of comedic absurdity to express this heavy theme."

Especially the last ending, the ugly face of human beings is described extremely well, and the plot ends abruptly here, which is too exquisitely designed. ”

Someone said: "Although I haven't read this book yet, this last sentence will be a sentence that I will never forget." The girl lost her beautiful face in order to save people, and her closest husband actually ...... Well, I can even speculate about the echoes of the crowd afterwards. ”

"After listening to the president's introduction, although I didn't see the text, I already expected that this book would undoubtedly become a classic, and its ideology is extremely high. ”

"Not only that, I think the commercial value of this book will also be very high, and it is especially suitable for making a movie, but I don't think I dare to make this kind of film in China. ”

……

The president smiled: "I explain the plot of this book from a reader's point of view, and everyone sounds like a drama, but when you read the book, you will deeply feel the atmosphere of absurdity."

In his creation, Mr. Li has abandoned the logic and coherence of structure, language, and plot......"

At the end of the meeting, Xiao Wang walked into the room with more than 20 manuscript bindings and handed the books to the leaders in turn.

After everyone received the book, they subconsciously flipped through it.

The president said: "Okay, since you are so impatient, then we will dismiss the meeting immediately, all departments must prepare immediately, and we will strive to sell books nationwide on this year's May Fourth Youth Day!"

"President, the results of the quadrennial "Huaguo Golden Tripod Award" will be announced on May Day, we didn't understand what you mean, right?"

"Now that you know what I mean, why don't you hurry up?"

……

"Huaguo Golden Tripod Award", the highest award for domestic literary works, is held every four years, announced on May Day, and has been held for 17 sessions.

For the evaluation of works, the organizing committee will screen the outstanding works in the past four years, and some of the shortlisted works will go through a rigorous review.

This award has nothing to do with readers, and a work that has been a great success in the market may not be able to enter the eyes of the judges. This award is required to be literary and profound.

Unpublished works like Li Fan's "Flying High" are no problem if they are submitted to the organizing committee, and there have been unpublished works participating in the selection over the years, and once they win the award, the sales after the listing are needless to mention.

Therefore, many new books are worried about participating in the evaluation of the "Golden Tripod Award" first, and selling it on the market, even if they don't get the Golden Tripod Award, they can win an excellence award.

"Flying High" has a strong advantage in participating in the "Golden Tripod Award", not to mention anything else, the network resources are invincible.

Of course, Li Fan's strength doesn't need to go through any back door, if Li Fan wants to go through the back door, look at his connections:

Among the top ten judges of this year's "Golden Tripod Award", four are from Beijing University;

Nobel Prize winner Zhao Jianmin is the chief judge, and he has much to say about his appreciation for Li Fan;

One of the judges is a famous teacher of Renmin University, who is a member of Li Fanxin's school of examination;

Another judge is the dean of the School of History of Zhejiang University, who wrote "A Re-Discussion of Mr. Li Fan's 'Axial Age' Theory";

Of the remaining three judges, one is employed as the chief content officer of Lezhi.com's Literature, History, and Philosophy Channel, and the other two have nothing to do with Li Fan.

However, the two of them are Bi Lao's protégés.

This phenomenon can only show that when a person stands at a certain height, each wall will open the back door autonomously, although it is not needed, but it exists objectively.

"In any case, the selection of literary awards, the personal relationship is corrupt, it is a serious moral problem, and everything is judged only by the quality of the work.

Okay, I'll make it clear, I'm afraid that because Li Fan is from the Jingda faction, he is a famous scholar with a good reputation in China, and he may even be someone's leader, and you are biased towards him for this. This is not good, if you treat it unfairly, Li Fan will also be very angry.

……

However, Li Fan's book "Flying High" is really too unique and charming! Okay, good!"

The above words are what Mr. Bi Shengyuan, the honorary chairman of the Golden Tripod Award, said to the judges of the Golden Tripod Award when he sat on the hospital bed and held an iPad for video conference.

Any award must have a relationship, this is a normal phenomenon, which award is born completely pure? impossible!

Li Fan doesn't need to go to the relationship, he also hates this situation, however, other judges are all on the pole to give him face, but other authors are different, they all dig the door to find a relationship, I hope the judges will take care of it more.

Muzi, the famous female poet who is as famous as Xiaoxiao, she has sharpened her sword for five years, written a long story, and decided to hit the trophy of the Golden Tripod Award.

On this day, she came to her uncle's house, and when she walked into the study, she saw her uncle immersed in reading, and beat his thigh with his fist excitedly from time to time.

"Uncle!Uncle!!"

"Oh, Xiao Mu is here!"

"Uncle, are you reading?"

"Well, by the way, Xiao Mu, your entry "Ma Li's Smile" is well written. ”

Mu Zi said happily: "Uncle, whether your niece can win the Golden Tripod Award depends on whether you can give it or not!"

The uncle smiled: "Li Fan also brought his works to the competition." ”

Mu Zi was stunned, "Ah? he also participated......? Then whether your niece can win the Excellence Award depends on whether you can give it to your uncle!"

After all, Li Fan's position in the literary world is there.

My uncle closed the book, "This year, whether I have seen the works or those I haven't seen for the time being, I can safely say that everyone is running together! This book is so wonderful, the human nature is too profound, and the writing technique is unique and self-contained." ”

"What type does Li Fan write?"

"Absurd literature!"

"What? What literature?"

"Absurd literature, a new literary genre," the uncle stood up with his hands behind his back and looked out the window, "Since this book won the Golden Tripod Award, the absurd literary genre has been officially born!
