Chapter 356: Why Defeat, Old Man and the Sea!

The disconnect between the development process of literature and art and the pace of the times often makes many works with hidden connotations unable to shine as they should at the beginning of their release, and their true value may not be discovered until many years later.

This kind of example is not only found in literary works, but also in many film and television works.

Outdated will not attract the interest of consumers, and ahead of the curve will also be high and low, so the real literary critics and some persuasive awards play a very considerable role.

A writer you may not have heard of or read a single of his works, but one day he wins the Nobel Prize for Literature, and his work may immediately hit the bestseller list.

At the beginning of the screening, a film may fail miserably at the box office and lose all its money, but a few years later, suddenly a group of students at a certain university discover its true charm, and after word of mouth, it may become an incomparable classic, deeply embedded in the memory of a generation.

"Waiting for Godot" had the embarrassment of leaving the audience when it started, but later it became an outstanding representative of absurdism and became a precious material for countless literary researchers.

As a collection of poems, Gitanjali has its own natural limitations, but there are still a large number of readers who are impressed by the artistic conception and philosophical thoughts presented in the poems, and they recite the verses in the poems, fantasizing about the huge world constructed by words, especially the mysterious and pious religious meaning permeated by the poems, which has made countless people obsessed and turned upside down.

Poetry that truly touches the soul of mankind, both for the ages and for humanity itself. All have a subtle prophetic nature.

Therefore, as soon as these two works were released, keen literary researchers quickly associated with the Nobel Prize in Literature, which is keen on this kind of work. They confidently speculate that this year's winners won't jump out of these two works.

However, the truth was once again unexpected, and after the official news came out, marking the failure of both works, literary researchers around the world began to speculate about the reasons and discuss them. The most likely conclusion is that the authors of these two works have too shallow background and are not abundant. Although there is a precedent for the Nobel Prize to be won or lost by a single work, it is more important for writers with rich creative experience.

In this way, as long as Wilt and Gorminck continue to provide the submitted works, even if they do not make much progress. are enough for them to win awards.

Once again, the truth has made everyone fall through the glasses. "Waiting for Godot" and "Gitanjali" originally belonged to one person, and this person was still Liu Jingting.

It is understandable that a single work did not win an award, these two works are published together, and they can't pass the test, so it must not be a problem of the work, but a problem of awards.

"I think Sweden owes the world an explanation that you can't send us away with something in fifty years. This is already an obvious error, and there is something unique about Callosa's work. But in front of the two works provided by Liu Jingting, his collection of essays and poems is more like a university graduation project. ”

"Is it really because of that stupid three-year covenant, I don't want to believe that the Nobel Committee on Literature can be swayed by such jokes. ”

"Do you remember Mr. Nobel's will, he said it clearly enough that the whole world understands it, are the judges kept in the dark?"

The shock was followed by continuous condemnation and questioning, so much so that the winner, Llosa, was temporarily ignored.

For many authors, accompanying the Nobel Prize is not really something to be sad about, in fact, the booksellers' calculations have always been very accurate, and those authors who fail year after year seem to be miserable, but in fact they can make headlines every year.

"There are a few days a year when readers all over the world feel sorry for them. ”

This kind of publicity effect is not inferior to those winners at all, similar to the Oscars, the Grammys, the Golden Horse, the Golden Rooster, the Golden Ball, the Cannes, and so on.

is also similar to Liu Jingting at this moment.

He has surprised the world a few times, but none of them can compare to this one.

"We may have guessed wrong, but we are also right, he still led the world to the Nobel Prize in the end, and in history, there has never been a writer who can make all the countries of the world cry out for him, it feels like everything he did before was arranged in advance. ”

Lu Yichou faced Liu Jingting's news for the first time, and felt a certain powerlessness, and even had the illusion of looking up and couldn't get rid of it.

"Sowing good causes and reaping good results, I wonder what he will do next. Wei Wuzhi's shocked mood was similar to Lu Yichou's, but he didn't have a deep friendship with Liu Jingting at the beginning and was wary of him, so the deeper body odor didn't exist, it was nothing more than going from far to farther.

"I can't guess either, if you don't communicate in advance, you can't be sure of the surprise he gave. ”

"I think, at the very least, that the trip in the final year will be smooth, because he has already won the gamble by a big margin, and he has won by 'defeat'. ”

"Yes, such a way of ending, whether it is Husta, Zaidao, Blueprints, and Loert, they have nothing to say, the storm of public opinion has formed, and they will not be stupid enough to come forward to accuse Liu Jingting of losing the bet. ”

"Even the new winner, Glosa, automatically avoided it, let alone a few of them?"

……

With the presentation of this unprecedented intensity of public opinion, it is difficult to find a trace of Liu Jingting's questioning on the domestic Internet, so the "Oriental Guest", who became popular, left the "last post" to cancel the account in a chic manner.

"Convincingly, there will be no time after this number!"

With an account, around one thing, without any alliance, can make such a big move, and can leave in a chic manner when things are understood, no matter from which aspect, Dongfang Ke has shown no simple means, if it weren't for the youthfulness of his previous posting style, some people would definitely suspect that she was retiring Mo Zhiyu.

In fact, before Dongfang Ke canceled his account, Chang Youdao posted a hint: "Although it has not made a comeback, it is still a lot of excitement, and it is rare to be able to listen to you say a word of convincing." ”

The spearhead is directed at Mo Zhiyu.

Where does the Tao often see the flaws?

This question bothered many netizens who left a reply, as well as Mo Zhiyu, who was sitting in front of the computer.

Of course, Chang Youdao didn't answer, because he was discussing with his colleagues who this person was three hours before the post, but the boss Liu Jingting, who was not where he was, suddenly came out of the water and said: "The guest from the East is Mo Zhiyu." ”

There is no explanation, but, there is no doubt either.

"However, don't say it publicly, she just wants to use her own way to govern others, and she fights single-handedly, and her means are quite good. ”

No one asked why, in the office of "Craftsman's Record", everyone was convinced of Liu Jingting's judgment.

"How do you figure it out?"

Xu Qing, who was not in the office, but was sitting next to Liu Jingting, asked directly.

"The most obvious clue is the guest of the East, take the meaning of the comeback, with this preconceived guess, other clues come naturally, make a rough analogy with the posts she has made before, the remarks she has made, although the style of writing is very different, but the views and insights can not be pretended, besides, as a gold medal editor, if you don't even have the ability to imitate writing, it is too incompetent. ”

"I was surprised that I didn't mobilize the water army this time, and I retreated, but I grew up. Xu Qing said.

Liu Jingting nodded.

"What's next, how does the novella work?"

"According to the rules, I still apply. ”

"According to the rules?" Xu Qing glared.

Liu Jingting said seriously: "The gambling contract is not over yet, how can I admit defeat, now I am no longer fighting for myself, I want to correct the name of Wilt and Gorminck, that is very important to me." ”

……

With the collective silence of the Swedish side and Liu Jingting himself, the large-scale wave of doubts gradually subsided, and everyone read from the silence of the Nobel Prize Committee to the emptiness of the heart, and from the silence of Liu Jingting to read the unwillingness and helplessness.

However, it is like the whistle in the World Cup, once it is blown, it is almost certain.

No amount of quarrel seems powerless in the face of the established facts, but to everyone's comfort, Callosa modestly expressed his "deserved" mood in a belated interview.

To everyone's outrage, Hesta and Blueprints did not try to remain as silent about the matter as many had speculated, but instead emphasized the fact very deliberately and sharply.

"Liu Jingting, you still have a year!"

……

"Man is not born to be defeated, man can be destroyed, but he cannot be defeated. ”

Liu Jingting, who completely disappeared from the sight of the people of the world, was writing the novella "The Old Man and the Sea" at this time! (To be continued......
