Chapter 860: Seeded Players (Second Shift)

The Nobel Prize in Literature is not only awarded to people in the pure literary circle, but also to those who write, write poems, and write plays, but also include other works that embody literary value in form and content.

In other words, the prize can be awarded to philosophers, religious writers, scientists, and historians, provided that their work is both artistically expressive and of high value in content.

Why did the "Swedish Daily" reveal Lin Han's news, and so many people believe it.

The so-called Nobel Prize in Literature is actually the Swedish Academy Prize, and its name and prize money come from the Nobel legacy, but the power to award and award the prize is in the hands of the Swedish Academy.

The Swedish Academy is an official academic structure, supported by a grant from the Swedish king and the government, and the Swedish Daily is the organ of the ruling party, which can be regarded as the mouthpiece of the government!

If it were other media, there would definitely be more doubts from the outside world.

At present, Lin Han successfully advanced to the short list and entered the final selection link The news was released through the "Swedish Daily", and the authenticity is at least 80%!

A piece of news from Stockholm has caused an uproar around the world, reminding people that the annual speculation is about to start again.

Agence France-Presse and the BBC are very efficient and have reprinted it.

"The 2018 Nobel short list is out, and Lin Han may become the youngest nominee!"

"Authoritative media revealed the short list, Lin Han ranked in the top five on the odds list, and is expected to become the first science fiction writer to win the Nobel Prize in Literature history!"

The domestic media are not idle, they don't pay attention to media like Sweden Daily most of the time, but there are employees who keep an eye on the BBC and AFP, which are among the world's three largest news agencies.

Xinhuanet quickly followed up, directly gave the translated version, and guessed a lot!

"Recently, while we were still immersed in the shock of the Matrix series brought by Lin Han, the annual Nobel Prize selection activity has begun in Sweden in Northern Europe. According to the latest reports from authoritative foreign media, Chinese science fiction writer Lin Han and Japanese writer Haruki Murakami will most likely be competitors for this year's Nobel Prize in Literature, and this year's Nobel Prize in Literature will be produced among these two writers.

On the odds list announced by Unibet, a world-famous gambling company, Lin Han, a young Chinese science fiction writer who competed for the Nobel Prize in Literature for the first time, has been in a situation of ranking growth, from outside the list to the third place today, Haruki Murakami is now in the first place!

So in reality, who is likely to be the winner of the competition between these two people?

I'm afraid the day when the real water will come out will be in October, so let's wait and see!"

Needless to say, Xinhuanet's status in the domestic media is needless to say, Chen Jiaxuan only knew that Lin Han joined the melee when he saw these screenshots on Weibo.

Haruki Murakami is very similar to the little plum before this year, since 2009, he has been regarded as a popular candidate for the Nobel Prize in Literature for many years, but he has always accompanied him and never won the prize!

From competing with Mo Yan to today's Lin Han, he has been running with two generations in a trance.

Some people joke that it is not news that Haruki Murakami is at the top of the prediction list now, if it is not at the top of the list, it is news, of course, the end of the 10,000-year escort run will be the biggest news.

For so many years, this writer from Japan has watched many writers on the odds list win the Nobel Prize, leaving him alone!

But judging from last year's predictions, people seem to have some hope that Haruki Murakami will win this year, because last year's award-winning writer surpassed Haruki Murakami at the last minute to take the top spot on the prediction list.

In recent years, more and more writers have been shortlisted for the prediction list, and more and more writers have won the Nobel Prize, and the Nobel Prize has a synchronous trend with the prediction list, which proves that the company must have mastered the information channels that ordinary people do not have.

Now Lin Han's odds are steadily decreasing, which proves that his chances of winning are getting higher and higher!

"I'll see who your contenders are this year. ”

Chen Jiaxuan took her mobile phone and quickly checked it, for a writer, it is very rare to be promoted to the short list, and if you win the award, it can only depend on luck.

I don't know if the old guys at the Swedish Academy like science fiction or not, and would like to see a young science fiction writer from China win a literary award!

Lin Han's head is constantly churning at this time, the Nobel Prize likes to broaden literary horizons and confirm literary achievements, many award-winning writers belong to expanding literary horizons, if they don't win awards, they may be forgotten.

In other words, the Academy of Literature has given some people more than half of the time to those unpopular writers who have thoughts, and many world-famous writers have never won the Nobel Prize, such as Tolstoy and Kafka!

In this way, will there be a plus for being an unpopular type of writer?

But the work is too popular and too popular, and such a writer no longer needs to use the Nobel Prize in Literature to get the attention of readers, which has become a deduction again.

Chen Jiaxuan didn't know what Lin Han was thinking, she read from the book: "In addition to Haruki Murakami at the top of the list and Lin Han at the third place, the second place is the Kenyan writer Nguzi wa Tiango, the American writers Philip Ross and Joyce Carroll, and the Israeli writer Amos Oz, all of whom are popular writers who compete for the Nobel Prize every year." Because it is mentioned every year and is very popular every year, the probability of winning the award is not large. ”

"My dear, it is said on the Internet that the Nobel Prize is often awarded to a fresh face, and I think you have a great chance!" Chen Jiaxuan said comfortingly.

Most of the people in front of me are old faces, I'm afraid that the judges of the Swedish Academy of Letters have already read their works several times, and the short list can't always let this group of people be shortlisted repeatedly, isn't this to kill the chances of the rest of the writers?

As a European-dominated literary award, more than 50% of the winners of the Nobel Prize are Europeans, and more ways are given to European writers, and writers from other countries may have to spend a lot of effort if they want to enter the eyes of the judges.

It is worth mentioning that there are several other Chinese writers on this odds list, Yan Lianke ranks 39th, and his works have been popular overseas in recent years.

Lin Han had never heard of the other people, and he didn't know how foreign gambling companies put these writers into the sky-high price!
