Chapter 159: Mao Dun Literature Award
Since the end of the Chinese New Year, Su Chenyu, who had nothing to do in the first trial, has lived a life of writing and painting every day, and he feels relaxed when he is not a "trapeze". No, this guy is leisurely holding a teacup, crossing his legs, and looking at the "Mass Daily" in style.
"Poof......
Su Chenyu squirted out a mouthful of tea, and looked at the newspaper in his hand in disbelief, as if he had seen a ghost.
On March 10, 1991, the People's Daily announced the results of the third "Mao Dun Literature Award".
Mr. Lu Yao's "Ordinary World" came out on top, followed by "Young Son of Heaven", "Urban Romance", "The Second Sun", and "The Funeral of a Muslim". If it was just like this, it would be completely restarted according to the script of the previous life, but the wings instigated by Su Chenyu's butterfly finally caused a shocking storm at this moment.
Su Chenyu was shocked to find that "Chen Shiyu's "The Sky of History" was also on the list, and now he was not good.
Suddenly, Su Chenyu had a feeling of pretending to be too much and digging a pit to bury herself.
However, Su Chenyu had to sigh that the inertia of history is really huge, you must know that the "Sky of History" created by Mr. Xu in the previous life won the sixth "Mao Dun Literature Award". This time, I just advanced the time for "The Sky of History" to win the award by n years, but this guy was still shocked.
However, at this time, Su Chenyu was puzzled, why didn't this guy Zhong Cheng ventilate himself in advance this time? Could it be that this guy "betrayed the revolutionary camp", it is impossible, you must know that you are a super "humanoid rocket" who can help Director Zhong get promoted and raise his salary to the pinnacle of his life!
After a brief period of surprise, excitement and doubt, Su Chenyu quickly regained his composure, and the next thing was even trickier - the award ceremony was held in the Great Hall on March 29.
For a long time, Su Chenyu, who pursues "low-key is king", is very reluctant to show off the glittering pen name of "Chen Shiyu".
Moreover, given his age and identity, he simply cannot be exposed to the public, otherwise it will definitely cause an uproar.
You must know that a person is a genius if he is "talented", and if he has too many "talents", he will become a demon, and he is likely to enter the scientific research institute as a "guinea pig".
For a while, Su Chenyu's head was as big as a fight, and he secretly said that he was really "too unlucky" - this kind of behavior of pretending to be b was really shameful.
It is said that it is better to come early than to come by coincidence, but it just so happened that Director Zhong's phone call came in, and this guy on the phone pretended to be secretive and mysterious. In fact, he was as witty as Su Dashao had already seen through all his "conspiracy", so his action to send a "surprise" to Su Chenyu this time was a failure.
Yes, the reason why Zhong Cheng did not tell Su Chenyu about winning the award in advance was to give Su Dashao a big "surprise". But unfortunately, Su Dashao felt that this "surprise" seemed to be about to turn into a "fright" now.
Director Zhong is worthy of being "a little white dragon in the waves, and people are raining in time", and this call is to "send warmth" to Su Chenyu and "send ideas". After listening to Director Zhong's words, Su Dashao suddenly became enlightened, and he was really a fan of the authorities.
As the saying goes, if it is difficult to find a leader, after Su Chenyu got a reminder from Director Zhong, he suddenly remembered that a person must be able to help him break the situation - "literary giant" Ba Lao.
Su Chenyu also told Tian Mingli and Feng Ying about his award, and the two of them were naturally surprised, especially Feng Ying was a little surprised.
For a long time, Feng Ying was very worried about Su Chenyu's almost "self-harming" behavior of not going to school, and was especially afraid that Su Chenyu would become a "gentleman" who did not learn and did not know - Yu's mother did not know that his son's ultimate goal was to be a "big" gentleman.
Well, looking at the list of winners of the Mao Dun Literature Award announced in the "Mass Daily", Feng Ying has a feeling of seeing the blue sky through the clouds and mist - in the future, who dares to say that his son is an "illiterate turtle" who only knows how to make money.
Su Chenyu was also very happy about his parents' surprise, after all, he pity his parents all over the world.
However, he still discussed with the two of them the idea that he should not show up, and the two of them naturally knew the current situation of the Su family and Su Chenyu themselves. So, although Feng Ying was very unhappy that her son couldn't show his face and pretend to be forced on TV and newspapers, she and Su Zhenbang finally agreed to the solution proposed by Su Chenyu.
The plan is certain, Su Chenyu is going to Shanghai to visit Ba Lao, and this matter is estimated to be easily solved only by inviting Ba Lao. However, it was unfortunate that he met Comrade Zhong Cheng, the "broom star", and this guy was not happy after making the call, so he actually ran to Pengcheng to find Su Chenyu again.
When Director Zhong saw Su Chenyu's happy face, it was like a blooming chrysanthemum - how disgusting and disgusting.
"Xiaoyu, this surprise gift of faith is good. Zhong Cheng also felt very proud and said to Su Chenyu ostentatiously.
Su Chenyu and Zhong Cheng are really old friends, and they have the intention to tease him, so they said: "Yes, very good, the surprise has turned into a fright." What's the matter? What good news did you have coming to the door this time? Could it be that Ba Lao took the initiative to help me solve this problem? Or did you use this good news to urge me to draft this time?"
"You're such a humorless person, you're so boring. Zhong Cheng said very unhappily: "What's more, every time I come to you, it's to urge the draft?"
"Think about it. Su Chenyu pretended to be serious and said: "It seems that every time you come to me, you really only have to urge the manuscript." ”
"Ahem...... Zhong Cheng coughed a few times in embarrassment, and then said happily: "These are all trivial things, so don't worry about them." I'm here to congratulate you, how can the congratulations on the phone express my heart?"
Looking at the elated Zhong Cheng, Su Chenyu said calmly: "Yesterday's "Mass Daily" has become a yellow flower of tomorrow, congratulations at this time? But it just so happens that I am planning to leave for Shanghai to visit Ba Lao, you can go with me." ”
"Visiting Ba Lao?" Zhong Cheng said in surprise: "Why are you visiting Ba Lao? What's more, why do you want me to go with you?
Su Chenyu glanced at Zhong Cheng, and then said, "Is there any credit at all?" ”
After Su Chenyu's reminder, Zhong Cheng remembered the "bad idea" he gave him yesterday, and couldn't help but cry bitterly: "I just want to be a good person, not to mention that I didn't let you visit Ba Lao." ”
"Who do you think has the biggest wrist in today's literary world?"
"Do you still need to ask? Naturally, it's the old man!"
"That's why I'm going to help me with Ba Lao. Su Chenyu had an expression that you understood, and then said, "It's just right, you, the initiator, should go with me to visit Ba Lao." ”
Zhong Cheng followed Su Chenyu to Shanghai before he got to Pengcheng and rushed to Shanghai, I have to say that he, a "literary worker", is still doing a good job.
The last time I visited Ba Lao was exactly two years ago, and although I haven't seen him for two years, Ba Lao has been concerned about the development of this new literary star. This time, Ba Lao also knew about Su Chenyu's award, and the old man was very happy for this young junior. Ba Lao is still very optimistic about this young child who does not talk like a child, and "Alive", which he personally prefaced, was well received by the literary world as soon as it was published.
Su Chenyu and Zhong Cheng met Ba Lao the day after they arrived in Shanghai, and they were still in Ba Lao's apartment, and the old man was still in good spirits. The old man first congratulated Su Chenyu on winning the award, and then cordially inquired about Su Chenyu's recent creations.
Regarding Ba Lao's inquiry, Su Chenyu naturally knew everything and listened to the old man's teachings with an open mind. Ba Lao gave a very good evaluation of "The Rise of a Great Power", and bluntly said that this is a "work of prosperity" that takes history as a mirror.
"Xiao Su, in addition to "The Rise of a Great Power" recently, are there any new works?" Ba Lao was very concerned about Su Chenyu's development and asked again.
Su Chenyu is also a big head, and during this time, he patronized to make money and pretend to be b, how can he have time to engage in "creation". Suddenly, Su Chenyu had a flash of inspiration and replied, "Ba Lao, I have been studying English literature recently and am preparing to write an English novel. ”
After listening to Su Chenyu's words, Ba Lao said happily: "Okay, good." Young people are ambitious, and I'm looking forward to your masterpiece. ”
Su Chenyu was very embarrassed, and when he thought of Ba Lao's expression when he read "broom boy", his head was as big as a bucket again.
"Xiao Su, there must be something wrong with you worshipping me this time, right?"
Although the old man has always disliked the drama of asking for errands, the old man often helps the younger generations who are optimistic.
Su Chenyu didn't hide it at all, and said frankly: "Ba Lao, you also know about my award. However, when I went to the Great Hall to attend the award ceremony, I felt that my current age and condition were still very inappropriate. Not to mention anything else, you always said that let me let a little hairy child receive the award with a group of elders, it is estimated that their hearts are not good, and the others are even more uncomfortable. ”
After listening to Su Chenyu's words, Ba Lao nodded, and then said, "I do have concerns about this. Then you want my old man to come forward and help you get rid of this matter?"
"Yes, boy, all I can think of is that only you can help me. Su Chenyu looked at Ba Lao expectantly and said sincerely.
After a short silence, Ba Lao said, "Okay, I'll say hello to the Writers' Association and the jury." ”
After seeing that Ba Lao agreed to come down, Su Chenyu couldn't help but let out a long sigh in his heart, and a big stone finally landed.
In the end, the 3rd Mao Dun Literature Award Presentation Conference was successfully held in the Great Hall of the People, and the authors of five of the six award-winning works received this top award in the literary world. As for the other award-winning author, Comrade Chen Shiyu, he was unable to attend the award ceremony due to special reasons, and decided to receive it on his behalf Zhong Cheng......
