June 1.

In the morning, it seemed to be sunny but not sunny, and the sun hid behind the thin clouds from time to time.

This kind of weather is very suitable for going out, today is the day of the award ceremony, and Shen Zhe was cleaned up by his mother from head to toe.

In the past few days, he always felt that something was following him behind him, but when he looked back, there was nothing. My brain became a little confused, I went to bed early last night, and I lay in bed thinking about it, until I was almost confused, and I suddenly realized that it was a video camera.

Recently, I haven't gone out much except to go back to my alma mater, and I've been entangled in a lot of troubles.

When this happens, his usual approach is to forget about it all, as if those things don't exist.

I still prefer a peaceful, undisturbed life.

The mobile phone loves to vibrate, and just thinking about it, the mobile phone screen thrown on the sofa lit up, and the call came.

Zhongli called.

"Xiao Shen, are you ready, it's time to get to the door of your community."

"Okay, Brother Zhong, go downstairs immediately."

Yesterday afternoon, the editor-in-charge Su Wei reminded him that the award ceremony was held at 9 o'clock in the morning, so he should rest early and be more energetic at that time.

locked the door of the house, went downstairs with his mother and Lin Yuhan, everyone else went to work, and even Lin Yuanzhi went to the magazine early in the morning.

A brand new flagship van is parked there.

Zhongli stood by the car and saw Shen Zhe and them coming, and greeted Yang Xin.

My mother and the editors of the magazine were not familiar with each other, so I got into the car with a few polite words, and there were already several people seated. In addition to the driver Lao Zhao, Su Wei and her daughter also sat in the back row, next to a female editor-in-chief, and a male editor-in-chief sat next to Lao Zhao in the front row.

Zhong Li said: "Squeeze a little, it's not far anyway, it's coming soon, bear with me." ”

The male editor-in-chief in front looked back and smiled: "Xiao Shen, it was originally Editor-in-Chief Lin who came, but he didn't come when he received a manuscript, so I replaced him." ”

Zhongli arranged for him and Su Wei, who were Shen Zhe's editors-in-charge, plus Lin Yuanzhi, the editor-in-chief of martial arts, to come together.

However, Lin Yuanzhi received a new manuscript, and he was reluctant to move when he looked at it.

When the little girl Weiwei saw Shen Zhe coming up, her eyes lit up.

"Brother Mouse!"

As he spoke, he wanted to get up from his mother's side, and went to the front row to sit with Shen Zhe, holding in his hand the pictorial supplement of "Children's 365" that had just been released for two days.

"Brother Mouse, why isn't Beta's tail curled?"

Shen Zhe smiled and said, "Weiwei, I have to ask your mouse sister." ”

Lin Yuhan glanced at him, but Su Wei beckoned her to sit in the back row as well, turned around and hugged her daughter on her lap.

"Brother Zhong, you're a little picky."

Zhongli smiled bitterly: "If you don't know how expensive firewood and rice are, not to mention the finance and the company above." ”

The business car started quickly, Zhongli sat by the door, and said to Shen Zhe beside him: "Xiao Shen, why don't you look excited?" ”

Shen Zhe was stunned: "Really?" ”

"Shouldn't you be happy to win such an award this time, oh yes, that's your debut."

Shen Zhe shook his head: "Brother Zhong, I won the award this time for other reasons, right?" ”

Zhongli was surprised: "What do you say?" ”

"At first, I thought it was a spontaneous vote from readers, but in the past few days, I have flipped through the original news reports, and there seem to be signs of artificiality."

"Is there such a thing?" Zhongli frowned and thought about it, and patted Shen Zhe on the shoulder after a while, "Don't think too much, it's a good thing to win the award, you are the first author of the magazine to win this award." It was originally an online selection by readers, and even if there is anything in it, it can represent the recognition of the public. ”

……

The award ceremony was held in the Grand Theatre of China Overseas Grand Theatre.

This year, the two highest literary awards in China were presented at the same time, although the Federation of Literary and Art Circles announced the reason, it still can't stop the outside world from speculating.

The domestic media tacitly acknowledged, while the Western media began to sneer.

After the group of Huaxia Youth Magazine got off the bus, they saw many domestic and foreign reporters queuing up at the security checkpoint from a distance.

The most conspicuous thing at the entrance of the Grand Theater is a live broadcast car with the logo of Xingchen TV, this TV station is the news overlord, and the convenience of film and television dramas is slightly weaker. It can often be found in the hot news scene around the world, and it is a well-deserved media giant.

Today's live broadcast of the awards was also conducted by this TV station.

Last time, Tan Yi of the China Shipping Federation of Literary and Art Circles asked Shen Zhe to go to the Federation of Literary and Art Circles, just to register the author's information and receive a chest badge.

However, Shen Zhe was lazy and forgot about it.

After entering the theater with a ticket, you will come to the interior of the Grand Theater, which is the largest theater of the China Overseas Grand Theater, with three layers of grandstands, which can accommodate more than 1,800 people.

In fact, every award-winning author was notified in advance, and Zhongli got the nomination area in the front row of the bottom row.

There were already three or four hundred people seated in the venue, because the ceremony did not sell tickets to the public, and the people who got the tickets were all well-known authors and critics in the literary world, people from the units to which the winners belonged, plus relatives and friends came to support, and there were more than 100 domestic and foreign media on both sides.

Shen Zhe and his entourage, two boys and girls plus a little girl were more conspicuous, and soon attracted the attention of many people.

"Hey, isn't that Shen Zhe, the top student in this year's college entrance examination?"

"It looks like it, why is he here?"

Zhongli turned his head and asked, "Xiao Shen, are you ready to expose your identity?" ”

Shen Zhe shook his head and said: "Sooner or later, someone will dig it out, and you can't hide it, let it be natural." ”

Zhongli nodded: "If you don't know how to deal with the media, just nod or shake your head in front of them, some questions don't need to be answered." ”

A few people quickly found their seats, and as soon as they sat down and looked up, they saw several people walking towards them from the rostrum.

The leader is Tan Yi, who is surrounded by a white-haired and wrinkled grandmother.

"It's Grandma Zhen!" Vivi called out first, and she often saw the figure on TV and recognized it at a glance.

Looking at their eyes, the target was them, and they all hurriedly got up to greet them.

When he came closer, Tan Yi pointed at Shen Zhe and said with a smile: "Editor-in-chief Zhen, that is Shen Zhe's classmate." ”

Shen Zhe took a step forward and said politely, "Hello Grandma Zhen." ”

Grandma Zhen smiled and looked at Shen Zhe: "Okay, the story you wrote is good, that girl is Lin Yuhan, right?" ”

Shen Zhe turned around and said, "Yes." ”

Lin Yuhan also hurriedly stepped forward to say hello to the old grandmother.

Sharp-eyed reporters immediately surrounded them and said, "Grandma Zhen, why do you know Shen Zhe?" ”

There are also local reporters from Zhonghai who know Zhong Li: "Editor-in-chief Zhong, you came with Shen Zhe, are you his relatives and friends?" Also, where is the owner of Peach Blossom Island who won the award this time in your magazine, don't you come to the scene? ”

Without waiting for Zhongli to answer, he was suddenly stunned, and stretched out his hand to slap his skull fiercely.

"High school students!"

"The master of Peach Blossom Island is also taking the college entrance examination this year, my god, won't it be this year's champion Shen?"

Grandma Zhen looked at Shen Zhe and said to the reporter: "Xiao Shen is the author under me, of course you have to know it." ”

Zhongli also smiled and said, "You're right, he is the Lord of Peach Blossom Island." ”

The reporters were all stunned.

The pen name of the owner of Peach Blossom Island has been appearing in the media recently, especially on the Internet, which is being serialized "The First Close Contact" has just reached the second chapter, but it has already brought more than two million traffic to the "Saying Essay Review" forum, plus the online selection boom in the past few days.

As for the martial arts column, it has only shaken a lot in the readers of "Chinese Youth" and the chivalrous world, and has not yet spread widely.

But no one would associate the name with this year's top student in the college entrance examination.

Although he knows that the owner of Peach Blossom Island is also a high school student, his literary talent has been undoubtedly revealed, and even netizens think that it is normal for him to fall off the list.

Now that the two identities are combined into one, the impact on journalists is too great.

A female reporter suddenly saw the album in the little girl Weiwei's hand, walked over and leaned over and said, "Can you let Auntie take a look?" ”

Vivi looked at her and immediately hid the atlas behind her.

The female reporter smiled and said in a consultative tone: "I won't rob you, just turn to the front and let my aunt take a look, okay?" ”

Wei Wei tilted her head to think about it, and said coquettishly: "Then take a look!" ”

"Okay, don't look at it more!"

Seeing Shen Zhe's cartoon name on the cover of the album that Weiwei turned over, the female reporter's face turned red: "Grandma Zhen, he is the Shen Zhe who wrote "Shuke and Beta"? ”

Grandma Zhen smiled and nodded.

"Oh my God, I tell my son stories every day, and I don't even think about it!"

Children's literature in China has always been a very special existence, whether it is children or parents, only Grandma Zhen is remembered, she represents fairy tales.

In fact, many people have also inadvertently seen Shen Zhe's name, but they didn't think much about it.

It wasn't until Shen Zhe won the top prize in the college entrance examination that there were doubts about whether he was the author of the fairy tale, but it did not cause speculation in the mainstream media. And some small newspapers and TV stations also put question marks when they reported it, and it did not cause a sensation.

At around 8:50, the Grand Theater was full, and everyone who got the tickets was about ready.

And more and more reporters surrounded Shen Zhe in this place, all looking at him with incredible expressions.

Suddenly, there was a soft piano sound in the room.

Staff had to come to maintain order and warn reporters that they could wait until after the awards were over.

When Grandma Zhen was leaving, she said to Shen Zhe: "Xiao Shen, go backstage after you are over, and Miss Lin, let's talk about your work." ”

Shen Zhe nodded in agreement.
