Although Lin Zixuan only wants to travel in Hong Kong for a relaxing time, he will inevitably encounter some social interactions, such as literary exchange activities organized by the Mainland Writers Association and the Hong Kong Writers Association. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The literary scene in Hong Kong is not organized by the government in the mainland, but more of a small group formed by similar literary views.

For example, the Hong Kong Writers Association, the Hong Kong Writers Association, the Hong Kong Literature Promotion Association, the Hong Kong Poets Association, and so on.

Among them, the Heung Kong Writers Association was founded in 1988 by 31 writers, adhering to the purpose of "meeting friends with literature", and is a relatively loose literary organization.

At present, it has more than 200 members, which is considered a large literary group in Hong Kong.

In Xiangjiang, a city where popular culture is prevalent, popular novels occupy the vast majority of the book market, dominated by martial arts and romance novels, and there is not much room for pure literature to survive.

If you think about it, life in Hong Kong is fast-paced, and citizens read newspapers and magazines for entertainment.

The development of the entertainment and media industries has led to the ******** of pure literary circles in Xiangjiang, and everyone may know the martial arts writers in Xiangjiang, but they do not know the serious literary writers in Xiangjiang.

This is different from the situation in the mainland, where the literary scene is dominated by serious literature, and popular literature is only a supplement.

However, with the development of society, the book market in the mainland has become more and more enthusiastic about bestsellers and popular novels.

The exchange between the Mainland Writers' Association and the Hong Kong Writers' Association was more like a small circle activity, and to be honest, Lin Zixuan did not know the Hong Kong writers who participated in the exchange at all, nor had he read their works.

He was brought in by the people of the Writers' Association, and when he joined the Writers' Association, he naturally had to fulfill the corresponding obligations.

Lin Zixuan, as a well-known writer in the mainland, happened to be in Xiangjiang, so it was a matter of passing to brush up on his sense of existence.

He doesn't know anyone else, but the writers of Xiangjiang know him.

Especially after the novel "Alive" was published in Japan and South Korea, Lin Zixuan gained a lot of reputation in the Asian literary world.

Through the spread of films, "Alive" first attracted attention in European countries, and then spread back to Asia, where it was well known by writers in Hong Kong and Taiwan.

He is also a strong contender for next year's Grenzana Carver Literary Prize in Italy.

Founded in 1982, the literary prize has a great influence both in Italy and internationally.

The selection process was very transparent, with three national and international entries selected by 10 famous authors, followed by a secret vote by a jury of 230 secondary school students from 17 secondary schools in Italy, one international and one national.

Published in Italy, "Alive" has already entered the shortlist.

This is the same as participating in the film festival, Lin Zixuan was nominated, and whether he can win the award will not be known until June next year.

According to the Italian publisher, the situation is quite optimistic, and it is not a big problem to get into the top three, and whether or not you can win the top prize depends on the final vote of those Italian high school students.

At present, it is not easy for Chinese literary works to win awards in the international literary arena.

This is not only a problem of translation, but also the cultural differences between the East and the West, as well as political factors.

However, the more difficult it is, the more everyone looks forward to it, such as the Nobel Prize in Literature, when the award is presented every year, the domestic media is more excited than the foreign media, and this mentality is the same as the impact of domestic films on the Oscars.

In this way, because of an Italian literary award, Lin Zixuan's status in the domestic literary world has improved a lot.

This is the benefit of awards, it is a kind of proof of being recognized, and it is confident to say it.

Because of this, the writers of Hong Kong are quite enthusiastic about Lin Zixuan and ask him to talk about his creative experience.

Heung Kong writers are at the crossroads of Eastern and Western cultures, and due to their long colonial rule, they have received a double education.

They can write in Chinese and English, but the clash of ideas and cultures is always a nuisance, and there is a sense of instability as to whether to stick to Eastern culture or embrace Western civilization in its entirety.

They have this struggle in their hearts, and they divide into different literary groups.

Some tend to traditional culture, some tend to Western society, which is very complicated, and the Hong Kong Writers Association tends to oriental traditional culture, which is the reason why the Writers' Association communicates with them.

After all these years of training, this kind of scene is difficult for Lin Zixuan.

There are many similar remarks in his mind, such as what is national is global, and there are writers who write against the trend.

Anyway, it's just a bit of a talk, and it's okay to deal with it casually on this occasion, focusing on sticking to the traditional oriental culture, strengthening cultural exchanges between the two places after the return, and so on.

That's the general direction.

Xiangjiang writers don't know Lin Zixuan very well, and they think it's good, but mainland writers don't dare to agree with Lin Zixuan's statement.

In the eyes of mainland writers, Lin Zixuan is more maverick, not only writing serious novels such as "Alive", but also martial arts novels and even fairy tales.

The sales volume of "Xiaoxue's Great Adventure" in China exceeded one million copies, and according to the royalty of 10 percent, a book is two yuan and a half.

Lin Zixuan was able to get more than two million royalties, and he became a veritable best-selling author.

Therefore, domestic writers feel that Lin Zixuan is more like a writer of popular fiction than a writer of pure literature, so listening to Lin Zixuan's remarks always feels a little crying and laughing.

At the end of the meeting, the people of the Hong Kong Writers' Association wanted to publish Lin Zixuan's novels, mainly the book "Alive".

The publishing industry in Xiangjiang is well developed, and the censorship is not so strict, and novels that cannot be published in the mainland are no problem in Xiangjiang.

This is a good thing, Lin Zixuan agreed.

Back at the hotel, it was already evening, Mu Shanshan was reading the manuscript in the room, and she was about to return, and her task was very heavy.

To be familiar with the whole process of returning, there are hundreds of characters who appear at various ceremonies and celebrations, and these must be remembered in your mind, this kind of live broadcast is much more difficult than the Spring Festival Gala.

"How's it going? Mu Shanshan raised her head and said with a smile.

"As in China, meetings are just a formality, with no real content. Lin Zixuan responded, "Buy a laptop tomorrow, I see that everyone who engages in media in Xiangjiang has one person, and it is convenient to store information, which is much easier than you flipping through it, besides, you can also check information on the Internet." ”

"I'm afraid I'm not used to it, but it's still so easy. Mu Shanshan said worriedly.

The Internet in the mainland has only just developed, and Hong Kong has become quite popular, and computers have become an indispensable part of work, and Mu Shanshan's way of working is obviously lagging behind.

"It's so inefficient, I can't keep up with the times, the computer is very simple, I'll teach you what you don't understand. Lin Zixuan proposed.

"Have you ever used a laptop?" Mu Shanshan doubted.

"I'm all about to enter the Internet industry, and it's not a piece of cake. Lin Zixuan said as a matter of course. (To be continued.) )
