Hexi Province, Writers' Association. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

On August 27, 99, after Zhang Yi of the Hexi Provincial Writers' Association went to work, he made a cup of tea by himself, picked up the newspaper on the table and flipped through it.

In fact, the chairman of the Writers' Association does not need to sit at work every day.

The secretary general of the provincial writers' association is generally responsible for the overall work, and the chairman of the writers' association is more of a retreat.

Zhang Yi usually deals with some things even when he goes to work in the unit, and the rest of the time, he either writes behind closed doors, or he meets friends.

What he is more concerned about today is the release of the Mao Award nomination award.

According to internal sources, the nomination award for the 5th Mao Award is coming out.

He also has a novel that has passed the preliminary evaluation of the Mao Award, and he also hopes that his work will be nominated for the award. Although the nomination award is one step away from the final Mao Award, it is also a very good honor, isn't it?

In four years, thousands of novels, and only more than 20 can be nominated for the award.

Being nominated means that your work is better than the works of most writers.

Moreover, if this nomination award can be won, it will also promote the sales of the book.

It's not that writers don't eat fireworks in the world, if they can't get more royalties, just rely on a little dead salary, then they really don't have much money!

What age is this?

It's about to enter a new century!

When people talk about the value of a person, they often look at how much value they have created.

Zhang Yi carefully held a newspaper in his hand, and there was news about the Mao Award nomination on the cover, a bold and black title: Mao Award Nomination Award announced, 25 works were nominated.

The details are in the third edition.

Zhang Yi flipped to the third version, and his hands were trembling.

He took a deep breath and steadied himself before he began to read the specifics of the report. The list of nominees is in the middle of this story.

Zhang Yi looked at it carefully.

His brow furrowed.

Sure enough, as I expected, my novel was still a little rougher, and I didn't even win the nomination award.

He looked at the list carefully, and then found that Xiao Fei's two works "Brothers" and "Fatigue of Life and Death" were both on the list of nominations.

He was a little surprised.

This has never happened before.

Looking at the news, it is clear above: the judges have a heated debate over which to put "Brothers" or "Life and Death Fatigue" in the nomination award.

In the end, Zhang Kai, deputy director of the jury, made a final decision: if a writer has multiple excellent long-form works in the same period, he can be selected for the Mao Award nomination list at the same time, which is no problem. As for the final award, if both works of a writer are selected as the winning works, the judges will choose which one of the judges voted more as the winning work of the writer, and then one work will be postponed according to the number of votes received by the judges!

This is tantamount to setting a precedent for Xiao Fei.

Only then was his two masterpieces able to enter the ranks of the Mao Award nominations at the same time.

Zhang Yi shook his head with envy, and said in his heart: "It seems that Xiao Fei is going to win the Mao Award this time!" ”

At this moment, the phone on Zhang Yi's desk rang.

He grabbed the microphone and said, "Hey, hello! ”

"Chairman Zhang, I, Dong Liubin!" In the microphone, Dong Liubin's voice came in.

"Hello Minister Dong! What are your instructions? Zhang Yi said with a smile.

"Haha! Chairman Zhang joked, instructed not to say, have you seen the list of nominees for the 5th Mao Award? Dong Liubin also laughed.

"See, Minister Dong."

"Xiao Fei actually has two works nominated for the award this time! What a surprise! ”

"Yes! I'm also very surprised, today's newspapers, almost all of them published this news, and they are all about to go crazy, speaking of which, this is also the glory of our Hexi Provincial Writers' Association! Zhang Yi said.

"Chairman Zhang, what do you think is the probability that Xiao Fei will win the Mao Award this year?" Dong Liubin asked.

"Very high! It's almost nine out of ten. Zhang Yi said.

"Oh, are you really that sure?" Dong Liubin will be skeptical.

"Really." Zhang Yi said, "Now public opinion is overwhelmingly regarded Xiao Fei as the favorite to win the Mao Award, and if the Mao Award Committee does not let Xiao Fei's work win the award, the whole country will be in an uproar." Zhang Yi explained.

"Then I'll know." Dong Liubin said.

"Minister Dong, is Secretary Fang going to ask?" Zhang Yi asked with a smile.

"Yes, after Secretary Fang saw the news, he called me to inquire about the situation, and I told Secretary Fang that I would listen to the news and report to him." Dong Liubin told Zhang Yi to the bottom.

……

After Dong Liubin hung up Zhang Yi's phone, he immediately called Fang Haotian to make a report.

Fang Haotian gave instructions: Be sure to care more about Xiao Fei and always pay attention to his psychological changes.

The purpose is simple:

After Xiao Fei graduated in 2001, he must ensure that Xiao Fei can return to Hexi. A Mao Award-winning writer is enough to support the cultural construction of Hexi Province!

What's more, Xiao Fei still has infinite possibilities, he is so young, it is not impossible to win the Nobel Prize in the future.

Dong Liubin received Secretary Fang's instructions, and immediately called Xiao Fei and expressed warm congratulations on his nomination for the Mao Award.

In addition, Dong Liubin told Xiao Fei that if he has any difficulties in the future, he can ask himself to help solve them, and he and Hexi Province will be Xiao Fei's strongest backing, such as Yunyun.

Xiao Fei exchanged pleasantries with Dong Liubin and hung up the phone.

It was Friday, and after the list of Mao Award nominees came out, a group of his high school classmates shouted for Xiao Fei to invite him to celebrate.

In this department, some of the classmates who are good with Xiao Fei, led by Dongfang Tian, Liu Ruili and Li Jianhua, also want to be lively together.

Everyone knows how heavy the Mao Award is: with this award, it is enough to go down in history, enough to be famous all over the world, and enough to be famous.

Xiao Fei, a student who has not yet graduated from college, is now about to win the Mao Award.

Naturally, his friends were very happy.

Because the school has not officially started, at noon, Xiao Fei rubbed with these people near the school. Just when everyone was eating and drinking, Xiao Fei received a call from Dong Liubin.

Xiao Fei has received a lot of similar calls for a while.

Just after Dong Liubin's caring call, Xiao Fei received another call from Vice Principal Lin Nanwu and asked him to come to his office.

Xiao Fei went as promised in the afternoon.

Lin Nanwu asked for warmth, and then, to the point, asked him, he was already in his third year, and he had thought about his future plans.

Xiao Fei replied honestly that he had promised Hexi Province that he would go back after graduation. (To be continued.) )
