Deng Zheng, Jiang Zhipeng, Fan Jia and other main creators, as well as Xu Taoxu, vice president of "Little Bird Culture", were all invited to attend. Both parties expressed a high degree of satisfaction with this cooperation.

After the celebration banquet, Nanguo Satellite TV expressed its sincerity in wanting to continue the cooperation, and took the initiative to mention the relevant content of the "VAM agreement". Deng Zheng unexpectedly found that Vice President Xu, who was smiling a few days ago, didn't seem too happy when the other party talked about the increase in the purchase fee worth more than 20 million, and he was faintly sad. But I didn't pay much attention to it.

Just when the media was preparing to launch a new round of praise and hype, something big and small happened.

The annual "Chinese Popular-Excellent-Excellent-Small-Talk-More-New-Most-Fast-WWW.UUXS.CC-Literature Award" announced the list of nominees for this year, and unlike Gu Weiyuan and Jiang Zhipeng's previous optimistic predictions, Deng Zheng did not even receive a nomination.

Deng Zheng didn't take this matter very seriously, although he didn't feel comfortable after all if he wasn't recognized, but he didn't take the award or anything so seriously. But the attitude of the people around him and the attitude of public opinion towards this matter made him feel an unexpected cold.

It stands to reason that the "Best Literary Talent" and "Best Novelist of the Year" are not nominated for the high-ranking writers' awards, after all, they are "mainstream literature".

However, it has won 6 national monthly best-selling lists, and since the beginning of this year, the cumulative physical sales of more than 7 million copies of "Pingxia Film" have not even been nominated for the "Best Best-Selling Work of the Year", which is a bit unbelievable.

It is true that he also knows that the national bestseller monthly list is secretly jokingly called the "small popular list" or "entertainment list" by those traditional literary writers and elite cultural people. The above are basically romance, martial arts, detectives, youth scars and other genre novels, as well as celebrity biographies, entertainment gossip collections, etc., which are very unpopular in their eyes. It's the list they don't bother to be on.

There has always been arrogance and contempt.

And although the sales of his "Ping Trace" exceeded 7 million copies, the single volume was too low. The total royalties are not among the best in the national book market.

However, in any case, the total number of volumes represents the breadth of circulation and the base number of readers, and an authoritative literary award with the slogan of "selecting the most representative popular literary works of the times" does not even give a nomination to the book that has sold the most copies this year?

Such an obviously unreasonable, and even somewhat bullying thing, Deng Zheng thought that Gu Weiyuan would immediately jump to his feet and call to scold the shady scene. Jiang Zhipeng would definitely come and say, but to his surprise, these two people just shook their heads and sighed when he took the initiative to mention it, expressing some regret and letting him continue to work hard.

Obviously, I still agree with the result of not being nominated, and think that although this result is regrettable, it seems to be quite normal.

This Deng Zheng is a little incomprehensible.

However, what made him feel even more incredible was that the media from all walks of life, who had been shouting and enthusiastically touting "Ping Trace" and "Shooting the Condor" before, did not make too many waves in the face of this result that he considered obviously unfair. Or even interest. The same is true for the population. It's just a few small discussions.

Deng Zheng knows very well that this is not to say that the "Chinese Popular Literature Award" is not taken seriously. On the contrary, people in this world take these kinds of mainstream literary awards very seriously.

There are three major literary awards in China: the National Literature Award, the Chinese Literary Media Award, and the Chinese Popular Literature Award. The audience of the annual awards ceremony is no less than that of the three major film festivals and the three major television festivals.

So the current situation can only be explained. In everyone's hearts, it seems that "Ping Trace" did not get any nominations, just like seeing umbrellas on rainy days and drying clothes on sunny days, which is quite normal.

In the silence, only in the "Jin Liang Bar", which is the base camp of hardcore fans, some people shouted grievances for him, but the reason for the grievances was actually that: Since they are all popular novels, why can Liu Xiaoliang's best-selling novel be nominated the year before last, but not Mr. Jin Liang's novel? Even if it is the same as Liu Xiaoxiao, he will definitely not win the award. Getting a nomination is also a kind of recognition!

Until the new small bar "rain falls and the wind rises" can't stand it, and a post is pinned:

"Why reject martial arts novels? The basic form of martial arts novels belongs to one of the genre novels! This is popular literature! This is popular literature!"

Since then. It completely triggered a civil strife on a large scale:

“…… I don't think so. First of all, I like martial arts novels and worship Mr. Jin Liang. But. Be rational and objective in everything. Current martial arts novels, including "Ping Trace" and "Shooting the Condor", in addition to being highly entertaining, are still more detached from reality than orthodox literature and elite literature. Whether it's falling into a cave and picking up cheats, or meeting a high-ranking population on the road...... In the real world, there is no such thing as zài. This makes it easier for people to have a 'fluke mentality' and fantasize about 'getting something out of the ordinary'. As a result, it may lead some people to become addicted, and the nature of online games will make the lives of some people with low self-control unrealistic, and there is no clear goal and long-term plan for life. It itself cannot bring much value to society other than entertainment. The function of reflection and criticism, which is peculiar to literature, has not been shown in any way......"

"Stupid! Everything has two sides, and martial arts novels bring social danger? Is that a social danger to all entertainment things? Legal programs also detail the process of killing people and absconding? It is his own fault that a person has no self-control, don't blame the outside world! Yes, in martial arts novels, the protagonist will have a high level of martial arts, where does martial arts come from? It is inevitable that a master will teach him, or a miracle medicine to increase his merits, or he will be talented, but this is also the characteristic of martial arts novels. They are the sons and daughters of heroes...... Definitely in the category of popular literature!"

"Oh, what is the noise?! If you want me to say, martial arts novels are originally entertainment books and adult fairy tales. I believe that Mr. Jin Liang himself has to admit this! In the past, the media, which could only see the wind and steer the rudder, praised it too much, and it seemed that it had become the representative of the highest level of righteous culture! When we look at literature, we must look at its function and form, and most importantly, what are the characteristics of value transmission. Martial arts novels, can it say one, two, three, four?"

“…… I disagree. What is literature, don't fix those imaginary, to put it simply. It's about the study of literature. From the moment it was created, writing was used to communicate thoughts and emotions between people and to disseminate knowledge. In my opinion, no matter how high the style of a novel is, it must first have readers before it can be valuable, otherwise it is worthless. Although martial arts novels have just emerged in the hands of Mr. Jin Liang, they have a very wide range of influence, which can be seen from the crazy physical sales of "Ping Trace". In addition, the majority of readers of martial arts novels are young people, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it can influence mainstream culture in the future. The so-called martial arts novels are too heavy in fantasy, detached from reality, and the protagonist must be strong in martial arts and have many adventures. It is true that there is zài, but that's not the point. The most important thing for the protagonist is not how strong his martial arts are, but the most important thing is to have a chivalrous heart that loves the country and the people. This is the soul of martial arts novels. This kind of core value is absolutely worthy of the word 'popular literature'......"

It was a heated debate that lasted all day, and the flames of war were very widespread.

Even Lin Xiaolu, who hadn't appeared for a long time, came out to jump and argue fiercely under the account of "tired old man".

The "150,000 Golden Armor", known as Jinliang's diehard fans, found it difficult to reach a consensus on a historically sensitive issue, which hurt the harmony and finally fell apart. After cleaning up the mess, only less than 110,000 remained. And among them, there are quite a few reservations.

Deng Zheng this whole day. Doing nothing, just as a bystander. Witnessed tens of thousands of people sparking sparks and not giving an inch of fierce debate for themselves and for martial arts novels.

As a hardcore martial arts fan in his previous life, he naturally knew. Similar controversies and prejudices in previous lives are also common, and they accompany almost every stage of the growth and development of martial arts novels.

In fact, when martial arts novels gradually developed from niche literature to one of the most important reading materials for the public in the hands of several generations of famous writers, the mainstream literary circles either regarded them as "garbage" and lashed them down, or they turned a blind eye to them, and there were only a handful of people who could really conduct theoretical observation with a fair heart. Either "denounce it as a heresy" or pretend to be "disdainful of arguments" and let it "fend for itself".

Like Mr. Jin Yong, a recognized martial arts master, he closed his pen after completing "The Legend of Deer and Ding" in 1972, and at that time he had already left the martial arts myth of "flying snow shooting white deer in the sky, and smiling book gods leaning on blue ducks".

However, it was not until 1998 that he was officially recognized by mainstream literature for the first time, winning his first two literary awards: the "Golden Dragon Award for Contemporary Writers" and the "Lifetime Achievement Award for Literary Creation" issued by the Hong Kong (and overseas) Literary and Art Association.

At that time, the old gentleman was 74 years old.

Subsequently, it was not until after 2000 that the Chinese Literature Network officially made such an evaluation:

"Jin Yong is a successful newspaper tycoon, and he is also a successful writer of martial arts novels. It is fitting to define it as a generation of masters of popular literature. Since he is called a master of popular literature, it is still necessary to use his novels to debate the literary elegance and vulgarity. ”

Every word is quite unwilling and intriguing.

Deng Zheng had imagined that this world might have similar arrogance and prejudice before, but he never expected that it was far more strict than in his previous life!

So the mood is a little heavy.

And through Guò's observation all day, he also knew that the most concerned literary list in the world is the "Writer's Power List of the Year".

The calculation rule is 70% of the "annual royalty income", plus 30% of the "literary contribution value".

According to the analysis of some knowledgeable people in Jin Jiazhong, his royalty income this year is only about 60 in the entire circle, and because it is not recognized by the mainstream, the "literary contribution value" is negligible. It's still a problem whether the estimated total score adds up to the final list of 100 people!

If it is said that the famous martial arts novels in the previous life could still rely on the huge market and "violate the ban with money" on traditional literature, forcing traditional literature to be high and low, embarrassed and difficult to hold themselves, then in this world where literature is more elite, the more mainstream it sells, the higher the royalties, and the greater the right to speak, the difficulties faced by Deng Zheng are beyond imagination!
