Chapter 355: The Uncrowned King (Part II)
Yoo has always been neutral in the fashion world, adhering to the philosophy of "being reasonable in zΓ i", although since high school, he has been surrounded by endless debates about the topic.
"Fashion is a bunch of boring people getting together, pretending to be nonsense, meaningless!" said someone with righteous indignation.
"Fashion is a way of life, but also a business and social activity, just like the NBA and the World Cup, if you talk about it carefully, ten people chasing a ball all over the court, isn't it, twenty people chasing a ball all over the court, isn't it even more?"
"Sports can be participated in by the whole people, and they can strengthen the body, and fashion has a natural exclusivity, condescending and troublesome. β
"Luxury is a kind of commercial activity, like private villas, private jets, if they all follow the participation of the whole people, these things will be erased? Moreover, sports can strengthen the body, and fashion can make people more beautiful and trendy. β
"What is beauty, what is a trend, is it called beauty if you just put a piece of cloth on your body?"
β¦β¦
In short, it is a situation of "no one can convince anyone, but I am right, you are a hard lever".
Liu Jingting was also forced to express his position or arbitrate, he couldn't say "the benevolent see the benevolent and the wise see the wise" in a friendly manner, he was embarrassed to pretend to analyze and comment on the two, so he had to pretend not to hear what everyone was saying clearly every time, and asked very seriously.
Liu Jingting has always been exposed to fashion in an abstract way, and he was reluctant to express his views at that time because he had not really been exposed to it. I thought I didn't have a say, but now I watched it live, and it felt naturally different. At least now when this kind of controversy is encountered again, and everyone knows it well, he will not continue to avoid the topic, but will say his opinion with reason:
"Beyond those previous definitions, fashion is a show, especially when a model with a lot of manners walks towards you, and no language is pale. It feels the same as a slam dunk or a kick in the world, but. I don't understand any other technical terms. β
After the first show, Xie Pei walked over to Liu Jingting with a silver-haired lady, and Xu Qing next to him whispered but said excitedly: "It's Miranda." It's Miranda ......" said while subconsciously pulling Liu Jingting's clothes.
"Miranda Green, editor-in-chief of Currents?" Liu Jingting began to pay attention to all the well-known magazines at home and abroad, and this "Trend" is one of the top fashion magazines in the United States, and its editor-in-chief is Miranda Green, who is calling for wind and rain in the fashion circle.
However, Xu Qing didn't pay attention to Liu Jingting's problem at all, and like many whispering women around her, her eyes faintly glowed with fanaticism, staring at the white-haired woman who came over.
After Liu Jingting confirmed that Xie Pei was walking towards him, he quickly got up. smiled and said, "Senior sister." β
"How's Xiu looking?"
"It's not all about it, but it's very exciting. β
Xie Pei smiled. Then he turned his head to look at Miranda and introduced in English: "This is my alumnus and the most popular best-selling author in our country, Liu Jingting, or Gu Yongsheng, who edited the youth literary and artistic magazine "Jianglu", which is also the best-selling magazine in China. β
Miranda smiled and stretched out her hand to Liu Jingting, who looked at the hand that was so delicately maintained, secretly wondered in his heart, and then politely stretched out his hand.
"Hello. Miranda said in Chinese, not very familiar.
This is Mrs. Miranda Green, editor-in-chief of the American history magazine Trend. β
"Hello, I saw you in a magazine, but I didn't expect you to be more attractive than in a magazine. Liu Jingting replied in English, although the pronunciation is a combination of Chinese and foreign, it is rare to be very fluent and decent.
This kind of polite words have long been tired of hearing Miranda, but it is particularly useful when it comes out from the sincere and simple Liu Jingting, not to mention that the young man who said this has just dedicated a "Merchant of Venice" that amazes the world.
"Is this the first time Mr. Liu Jingting has said such a thing?"
Miranda asked with an elegant smile on her face, as if casually and seriously.
"This is the second time, and I just met Sister Xie Pei and said it once, because I saw her photo on the campus billboard. β
Xie Pei smiled and continued: "I can testify for him." β
Miranda laughed, then stretched out her hand again and said, "Nice to meet you, Mr. Liu Jingting." β
"Me too. β
βEnjoytheshow!β
Miranda waved her hand, turned to leave, and Xie Pei said, "I'll go first." β
"Senior sister, you're busy. β
After Miranda left, the eyes of the audience were focused on Liu Jingting.
"Who is that Asian boy who is talking and laughing with Miranda?"
"Why did the divine actually let Miranda come to meet him, looking completely strange?"
These questions were answered by the host before the next show began.
"Mr. Liu Jingting from China is also here today!"
There are many people who don't know Liu Jingting himself at the scene, but there are not too many who have not heard the name "Liu Jingting".
Nobel's three-year gamble.
and Blueprints' sales and the bet on film and television adaptations.
Author of "The Little Prince".
Author of Romeo and Juliet and Hamlet.
Xu Qing patted Liu Jingting, who seemed to be still out of the situation, and said, "They are introducing you." β
The next day, Liu Jingting's name appeared in the "Paris Match Pictorial" with the show, continuing the style of "one city, one stay".
The travel and the passage of time still continued, but the plan to "travel separately" was bankrupt because of this show.
When Liu Jingting revisited his hometown and came to the UK again, it was already August of the tenth year of the pavilion, and coincidentally, when he took the London Subway with Xu Qing, he met a boy who cosplayed into a little wizard, dressed in a black wizard robe, and held a wizard staff less than one meter in his hand.
Liu Jingting was surprised at first. Then he pointed at the boy with a smile and said to Xu Qing: "The image of Harry Potter comes from a little wizard. β
"What Harry Potter?"
"The male protagonist of the next children's novel. β
"You're going to rewrite a fairy tale?"
Liu Jingting nodded and said, "The big kids should like it too." β
β¦β¦
Only eight days in the UK. After that, I went to Spain to watch bullfighting, and after another month, I left for South America, stopping in Australia for a week.
On the first Thursday of October, the new Nobel Prize was officially opened, and the most eye-catching category of this year's prize was naturally the ownership of the literary prize that had been debated for more than half a year.
October 17, under great anticipation. Sweden announced the winner of the Literary Prize, the writer Llosa from Peru!
Unprepared.
Unexpected.
but
Reasonable.
"Nobel can never be guessed!"
This sentence has become an iron law throughout the game.
However, this is not the same as before. After the announcement of the Literary Prize, the media did not immediately interview and report on the winners, but first felt sorry for Wilt and Gorminck, and then "closed the pen." but the world is full of wind and rain", Liu Jingting is worried.
"That being said. But in the past month, it seems that there has been very little news of Liu Jingting, and it seems that he is now silently waiting for this result in some corner of the world. β
In fact, after the experience of "The Merchant of Venice", the mainstream media in European countries have gradually become more tolerant of Liu Jingting's "Nobel bet", and even if it is ridiculed, it has been wrapped in goodwill. In particular, the Italian newspaper Corriere della Sera clearly pointed out: "There is no decisive logical connection between the greatness of a writer and whether he wins the Nobel Prize. For example, "Waiting for Godot" and "Gitanjali", but also "The Merchant of Venice" and "Hamlet". β
For a time, the whole world began to cry out for these three people, and the academic representatives of France and India successively asked the Swedish Academy of Letters for explanations, but naturally to no avail, because the inside story and details of the Nobel Prize selection are top secret, and they will not be made public until 50 years later. β
On October 20th, Vientiane Academy issued an announcement to the world: ""Waiting for Godot" is the graduation design work of Liu Jingting, a student of our university, and was recommended by Chairman Feng Changxing of the Writers' Association and three professors of linguistics of our university to compete for the Nobel Prize in Literature! β
The announcement quickly sparked heated discussions around the world, and the French side quickly confirmed the news.
"From "Hamlet" to "Waiting for Godot" to "The Merchant of Venice", it is worthy of Liu Jingting!"
"He's not traveling, but if he loses the Nobel Prize because of Waiting for Godot, I personally don't think it's a win or loss in the true sense of the word. β
"Since the Swedish side knows the truth, it seems reasonable that "Waiting for Godot" did not win the award. β
Just when this heated discussion was gradually boiling, on the 25th, Xingyue TV International Station issued a blockbuster statement: "The poetry collection "Gitanjali" is also a new work by Mr. Liu Jingting, and together with "Waiting for Godot", he participated in the competition for this year's Nobel Prize in Literature, and I regret this result!"
It is like a meteorite falling from the sky, as if thunder is on the ground.
The boiling discussion about "Waiting for Godot" has not stopped, and Xingyue's release of this news is tantamount to dropping a bomb on fire.
At one point, it seemed that the whole world was stunned for a moment, after which the tide of heated discussions quickly converged into a monstrous wave.
"Waiting for Godot" and "Gitanjali" are all from Yoo Kyung-jeong!
This news shocked too many people, and the twists and turns and twists and turns greatly and far exceeded everyone's expectations.
Everyone guessed that Liu Jingting's sealing of the pen may have been just a false shot, and it was a play on words, so everyone's inference, including Lu Yichou, thought that Liu Jingting might want to "bring readers to the Nobel Prize", and use the way to deal with Mo Zhiyu to single-handedly challenge the Swedish Academy again, or play a clever trick and play at will for three years, and admit defeat indifferently.
In fact, Liu Jingting did not play conspiracy or cleverness, but adopted his usual way - to face a crisis and challenge with real strength.
"Even so, it's still disappointing everyone......
On October 26, Liu Jingting suddenly updated his personal microblog, which caused almost all Chinese to retweet and comment, staging a real "not turning is not Chinese", and many hardcore readers instantly burst into tears.
At this time, Liu Jingting was in Cuba, which was the hometown of the old fisherman......!
