Chapter 235: Defeated!
Lu Xun nodded, but he didn't react much, but when Su Xuan on the side heard it, he suddenly said with great joy: "Teacher Shi, I like what you wrote very much, can you give me an autograph?"
Shi Daming was happy when he heard it, looked at Su Xuan, nodded with a smile and said, "No problem." β
Shi Daming's science fiction is well written, and the sales are okay, of course, compared with the previous youth literature, that sales can be negligible, this can be relative to the entire traditional literary circle, and it has nothing to do with the youth literature circle.
Here Shi Daming and Su Xuan Lu Xun chatted, but it was extremely harmonious, although there are some literati in this circle, but there are very few, there are still more like Shi Daming.
And the remaining 30 or so writers, including reporters and the like, also entered the venue, and on the stage, there was also a host ready to start hosting.
At about half past seven, the gate closed, and the scene gradually quieted down.
"It's time to start. β
The Hyosung Award is also relatively important, so people in this circle are basically paying attention.
"Can the teacher win the prize?"
"I guess so. β
The students of Southern Star College are also staring at the screen.
"Historically, the award for the best short story should have been announced first. β
"This time, there are seven writers: Sun Xiao, Lu Xun, Hao Tiantian, Nie Cong, Meng Mo, Lei Chuan, and Shi Fang. β
"Seven people are still under a lot of pressure to grab an award. β
"What's the big deal, the pressure on the last two awards is great, and more than a dozen people grab one. β
"Yes, especially the Hyosung Award for Best Literature, which is one of more than 30 people. β
"Even if I won the Literary Award for Best Short Novella before, would I still win it?"
"Not usually, but ten years ago, Ms. Mu Cinian did it, winning the Best Novel Award and the Literary Award, and countless people were amazed at that time. β
Netizens talked about it, and countless shots were aimed at the rostrum, and the award ceremony was as luxurious as a concert hall.
Both the atmosphere and the dΓ©cor have been at their best.
With everyone watching, an old man dressed in simple white clothes came to the stage.
"Old Duan of Pearl University!"
When this teacher came to the stage, everyone had admiration in their eyes.
The Chinese Department of Pearl University can be said to be the top in the country, and it has previously surpassed Peking University, ranking first in the rating for several consecutive years, and these are indispensable to this master-level Duan Lao.
He himself is very powerful, he won many Hyosung Awards that year, including countless awards in China, large and small, and even some foreign awards, and the most powerful thing is that he was even nominated for the Nobel Prize in Literature.
A nine-star writer and a master teacher, there is no doubt that Duan Lao is a person worthy of respect.
Under everyone's gaze, Duan Lao stood on the stage and said with a smile: "Good evening, everyone, this is the ceremony of the 37th Hyosung Awards. β
The audience applauded.
And Duan Lao also briefly talked about the establishment and history of the Hyosung Awards, which are all official speeches, and the time is not long, only about ten minutes.
"The judges in charge of the Hyosung Award this time are Professor Wu Leiwu from the Department of Chinese of Peking University, Mr. Zhou Shu, an eight-star writer, and Ms. Feng Shuzhen, an eight-star book reviewer......
Listening to the introduction of Duan Lao's list, everyone took a breath on the spot, this is really amazing, basically some famous people in China have been invited.
There are more than 20 people, each of whom is highly qualified and professional, and according to the votes of these more than 20 people, from all aspects of consideration, the candidates for this year's award will be selected.
"I didn't expect the Hyosung Awards to be so powerful. Some people who didn't pay attention to this were also shocked when they saw the news that Lu Xun was invited.
The audience in front of the TV and online live broadcast listened attentively, and the live audience listened attentively, and almost no one was distracted. For them, the Hyosung Award is worthy of respect.
"Alright. Elder Duan smiled, "Now it's time to present the awards." β
On the table in front of Duan Lao, there was also an envelope, and he opened it in front of everyone.
"The first award is the Hyosung Award for Best Short Story. β
"The first award is really this!"
"Looking forward to it, can the teacher win the award?"
"It's time to start. β
Everyone was looking at the stage, and Duan Lao read for a moment, "I announce that the winner of this year's Hyosung Best Short Story Award isβ"
He paused, and the audience was quiet, as well as in front of the TV and the Internet.
"Oh, how can this professor be so good at selling off. β
Su Xuan said anxiously.
Lu Xun's face was calm.
These few seconds are indeed too long for some people, and some people from the previous university also have solemn faces.
"Whether Mr. Sun can win the award depends on this time. β
"yes, this is his most hopeful. β
And Duan Lao finally continued: "The winner of the Best Short Story Award is "Ant Clan"! Congratulations to Mr. Sun Xiao from Mingze University!"
In an instant, applause rang out.
The audience looked in one direction, and Sun Xiao was even more surprised.
There was an immediate applause from the people around!
Some of the candidates also had wry smiles and regrets on their faces, and some people hugged Sun Xiao in a friendly way.
"Great, great, Teacher Sun Xiao has won the award!"
Students at Mingze University cheered.
"Why didn't Mr. Lu Xun win the award? β
Su Xuan was angry, and she was puzzled.
"Don't force it. Lu Xun said.
The students of Southern Star College and some people on the Internet are also extremely regretful.
"It's a pity that the teacher didn't win the award. β
"yes, I think the teacher is very promising. β
"To be reasonable, "Ant Clan" is very well written, but "Diary of a Madman" should be better. β
"yes, I also prefer Diary of a Madman. β
Many people on Weibo felt very regretful, and some people who were black and Lu Xun before celebrated with their crowns.
"Haha, I didn't expect to not even win the award, I really laughed to death. β
"It's just that I thought it was so powerful, but it turned out to be just a simple nomination. β
And Duan Lao also continued: "The reason for the selection of "Ant Clan" is as follows, this one adopts the writing method of triple narrative intersection in the writing method, intercepting three different low-level social figures, and serial narration, focusing on the description of ordinary people who have nowhere to live in the big city and are under great pressure, and finally have to make a living and become a member of the ant clan, and these ant clans are a group of characters who are muddy and nightmarish and commit crimes as commonplace.
Their fate, their choices, their regrets, embarrassing and thoughtful, it describes not three individuals, but the whole represented by these three people, in China's first-tier cities, how can there be many such people?
Therefore, "Ant Clan" was selected. β
At the end of Duan Lao's words, there was thunderous applause.
Ren Feng looked at this scene, and also felt quite regretful, this is the difference between the public and the profession, professionals have to value a lot of things, he also thinks that "Diary of a Madman" is good, but it is different for that group of professionals.
This is true of many things, and if you lose the election, you will lose the election.
