Chapter 368: Those Things About the Nobel Prize

At this time, several people on the stage held the crystal trophy in their hands, Lin Han looked at the people next to him from the corner of his eye, the black old man with white hair looked very strong, as the first black African writer to win the Nobel Prize in Literature, Volle Soyinka has always had a strong desire to create since he won the prize in 1986.

Leonardo, whose face was slightly rounded, also recovered the demeanor of a handsome uncle after cleaning up, and he could vaguely see the handsome appearance of the year between his eyebrows, Lin Han was not inferior at all when he stood between the two of them, and even more eye-catching!

Leonardo naturally does not need to say, many heads of state, company executives, and social elites who are not familiar with the entertainment industry also know his face, but why can a young Chinese stand between the world's superstars and Nobel Prize winners in literature?

Even if the master of ceremonies at the scene was introducing the novels written by Lin Han and the amazing records he had set, there were still not many people who knew Lin Han at the conference, but they knew his novels.

"Lin Han is a Chinese writer who is loved by readers all over the world, he uses his influence to donate extracurricular reading materials to more than 5,000 colleges and universities around the world, and pays attention to the disadvantaged.

After hearing the award speech at the scene, Leonardo looked at Lin Han in surprise, before he didn't know Lin Han's identity at all, but now his mind moved, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

There were no outsiders at the scene, all of them were members of the World Economic Forum in Davos and friends from the media, and the applause rang out, which was a compliment to young people.

Lin Han put the crystal award in his hand on his chest, and he said into the microphone: "Actually, I am just an ordinary author, there are very few things I can do, I hope to put this aspect of things in the novel and pass it on to ordinary readers, there are many vulnerable groups in the world, and those who can attend the conference today are the most energetic people in the world." Each of you is a beam of light that can dispel a small patch of darkness. When gathered, we can light up the hope and future of many disadvantaged groups!"

It was just an acceptance speech, and there was a 30-minute speech waiting for him later, so after the speech, the four winners went backstage together to take pictures and wait.

Weighing the weight of the trophy with his hand, Lin Han felt that it was really a little inconvenient to carry this thing, as the youngest among the winners, he was quite uncomfortable at this time.

"Hi Leo. I'm sorry to bother you, I'm a fan of your movie, can we take a photo together this time?" Lin Han shoulders a heavy responsibility, Chen Jiaxuan has repeatedly told Lin Han before leaving, be sure to take a photo with Leonardo!

Such conversations seemed to be common, and Leonardo stood beside Lin Han, and he smiled and said, "Of course, it's my honor." ā€

Hurriedly handing over the mobile phone to the staff on the side, Lin Han couldn't help but straighten his back, and he stood with Leonardo and took pictures seriously.

"Okay, I've taken a couple of shots, you can choose them. The staff returned the phone to Lin Han, and then walked away with a smile.

The mood is a little excited, no matter how Lin Han's identity changes, he still attaches great importance to this kind of group photo of the world's top superstars, this is Xiao Li Zi, who has played "Titanic", "Impunity", "Inception", "The Revenant", the biggest Hollywood actor in the hearts of the Chinese!

"Thank you and have a great day!"

After Lin Han took his mobile phone to thank Leonardo, he found a place in the background, called up the photos on his mobile phone and checked them carefully, and he sent all the photos to Chen Jiaxuan through WeChat.

Leonardo on the side thought that Lin Han would chat with him next, but he didn't expect to walk away like that, which was really unexpected. He didn't know anything about Lin Han, but after listening to the award speech on the spot, he became interested in the book "Bouquet for Algernon".

"Jessica, do you know that there is a book on the market called "Bouquet for Algernon"? It was written by the Chinese who won the award with me, and I want to buy it. ā€

"I'll look it up, and if there is, I'll send you to the hotel room. ā€

Don't look at Leonardo spending all day drinking with Victoria's Secret models, but being a top Hollywood superstar is by no means superficial, in private he is also a person who loves to read, on the one hand, for entertainment, and on the other hand, to see if there is any potential for adaptation.

……

After Lin Han put a photo of himself and Leonardo on Weibo, he found that the number of his comments had increased several times, and even many passers-by came to envy him, Leonardo's influence can be seen!

"Teacher Lin is awesome, he actually received the same award as Xiao Lizi, and just found out that there is also a Nobel Prize winner in literature!"

"Who said before that Mr. Lin went to the Davos Forum to make up the numbers? Come and see, win two important awards in one day, and give a speech later, I hope there will be a video stream!"

"My favorite actor stands with my favorite writer, so happy!"

"Xiao Lizi is finally handsome, but the guy next to him is actually so handsome, what kind of novel does he write if he is so handsome, hurry up and make a movie for us to lick the screen!"

"Confess Leo, every time I take a photo with the Chinese, I smile so brightly. Congratulations to Lin Han, although I don't know what this crystal award is, it looks very powerful, anyway, congratulations. ā€

"Are you two going to work together?

"Xiao Li Zi is handsome, Teacher Lin is cool, but true fans say that Teacher Lin should not be out there to wave, hurry back and write a new book!"

"It's such a high-end conference, why don't you take a photo with the prime minister?"

"Mr. Lin, you've changed, you didn't use the Meitu feature before!"

"Hahaha, it's funny when I think of the words of those sunspots, saying that Lin Han is not worthy of going to that forum, but why is he silent one by one now? In the eyes of those people abroad, Mr. Lin is similar to Leonardo. ā€

"I feel sorry for Xiao Li, I saw the little red rope on his wrist again, when will I be able to take the little golden man!"

"I hope that my little plum will get a touch of Mr. Lin's award-winning luck, Mr. Lin has won almost every award since his debut, if only Xiao Lizi's Oscar winner could have such a smooth effect. ā€

Lin Han browsed carefully, and he suddenly felt that something was wrong, why were netizens still distressed about Xiao Lizi? Didn't he get the coveted Oscar with "The Revenant"?

If one person said this, it was probably wrong, but everyone felt that it must be Lin Han's memory confused.

"Could it be that in this world, Leonardo is still fighting for the little golden man?" he couldn't help but be surprised when he thought of this guess, "It can't be so miserable, my butterfly effect has affected him?"

While complaining in my heart, I quickly searched the Internet.

Sure enough, Leonardo is still struggling for his first Oscar trophy, and several movies in a row have failed at the last moment, even "The Revenant" failed to make him emperor.

Lin Han carefully browsed the list of his works, and unexpectedly found that the famous sci-fi movie "Inception" and the feature film "The Wolf of Wall Street" did not appear in his list of works!

This was a major discovery, Lin Han frowned and didn't know what he was thinking, it seemed to have become a little complicated.

……

After the backstage break, several winners went to the podium to give speeches, and Leonardo naturally took the lead, he talked about environmental issues on the podium, leaving Lin Han and two other people to sit in the lounge to prepare.

The white-haired Volle Soyinka broke the silence and said to Lin Han: "Do you know? We can also see your novels in Africa, and I think The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy is quite good, but unfortunately it is not finished yet. ā€

"Wow, you think you'll like the rest of the novels better, and you actually read science fiction too?" Lin Han was a little uncomfortable, because The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy was relatively more light-hearted and witty.

"Do you think I'm too old to read science fiction? I lived through your golden age of science fiction. There is a lot of satire and black humor in this "Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy", which reminds me of British dry humor, and I can see that a considerable part of it is a reflection of reality, and it is very interestingly written. ā€

Born in Nigeria in 1934, Walle Soyinka entered the University of Leeds in England after the age of 20 to specialize in English, and was a visiting professor of English at Cambridge University, Sheffield University, and Yale University.

The Nobel laureate in literature looks affable, and the glasses on the bridge of his nose give him a hint of wisdom, and Soyinka's works are mainly dramas, and novels are only incidental content.

Perhaps it was the surrounding environment that made the two of them sympathize with each other in terms of literary writing, Lin Han didn't have much awe at this time, and he said: "I'm sorry, I think you will like the rest of my works more, such as "I, Robot" or "Three-Body Problem". ā€

"I do like "The Three-Body Problem" and the cosmic sociology in it, but obviously the latter part is beyond your control, I hope "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" can write more content, don't end it in such a hurry. This kind of cosmic adventure novel should not end too soon. ā€

The more the two of them chatted, the more energetic they became, and in the World Economic Forum, the two of them unwittingly talked about the Nobel Prize in Literature.

"I don't know who is nominated for this year's Nobel Prize in Literature, do you think science fiction alone can get the favor of the Nobel Prize?"

Lin Han asked a very important question for him, whether he could win the highest award in the literary world by relying on science fiction.

Soyinka looked at Lin Han's young face, and he couldn't help but think back to when he was young, when he thought about the Nobel Prize in Literature?

Today's young people are really amazing, Soyinka said with a smile: "No one can say what the academicians of the Swedish Academy of Literature like, if someone happens to like your novel, then it is possible." Maybe you will be on the final list for the Nobel Prize next year, or maybe you won't even be on the initial list in your life, and no one can say for sure. Do you know your famous Asian writer Haruki Murakami? His works are very good, and they are very popular every year, but I don't think he can win the Nobel Prize, because the values in the novel are not very consistent with those of academicians. ā€

The entire Nobel Prize in Literature starts from the nomination stage, and each round of selection is kept secret, and the so-called nominees are not announced to the outside world except for the final winner.

Every year, Haruki Murakami's Nobel Prize escort is just some betting companies using odds to predict, in fact, it is not clear whether it has entered the first round of nominations!

In fact, every year, all kinds of news are stirred up, and all kinds of reports on the nominations for the Nobel Prize in Literature are made up by the media themselves, because the Nobel Prize has a 50-year deadline.

Fifty years after the Nobel Prize has been awarded, the list of nominees will not be released to the outside world, and it is impossible for non-selection committee members to know the so-called nominees.

Of course, it cannot be ruled out that there will be members of the selection committee or the Faculty of Arts who will privately disclose some of the information to their friends!

According to the principle of 50 years of secrecy for the Nobel Prize, the official website of the Nobel Prize published a database of nominations from 1901 to 1950.

Of course, now that Mo Yan has successfully moved back a Nobel Prize in Literature trophy for China, many Chinese writers have begun to float in their hearts, why can he not me?

However, not everyone is eligible to be nominated for the Nobel Prize in Literature, and group nominations and self-applications are not accepted!

Nominees are members of the Swedish Academy of Literature and the equivalent of literary scholars from various countries, professors of literature and linguistics at higher education institutions, Nobel laureates in literature, and presidents of national writers' associations.

In other words, if Lin Han wants to win the Nobel Prize in Literature, he must first solve the old problem of nomination qualifications, and many writers around the world are stuck on this threshold!

I don't even have the qualifications to be nominated, how can I enter the later selection?

Lin Han fell into deep thought, every September, the invitation to nominate candidates for the next year's Nobel Prize is sent to all over the world, and the jury of the literary prize alone sends out more than 600 invitations every year to the groups or individuals who are qualified to nominate them.

This invitation refers to the Nobel Prize in Literature inviting others to nominate another person, not directly inviting writers to be selected! If you want to nominate a writer, you have to ask others to recommend it, even if it is Mo Yan, you have to ask the China Federation of Literary and Art Circles to recommend it!

According to his current situation, it is very difficult to get the nomination qualification, he does not deal with the Writers' Association, and he has no friends who are literature professors, and he does not know any of the 600 bigwigs in the world who nominate others for qualifications.

If you want to win the Nobel Prize, it is really a problem in the end! )
