Chapter 230: Exploitation
"Let's not be so excited, let's take a look at the awards below, maybe the following awards will be awarded to Chen Ze."
"It's just, haven't you noticed? The camera was given to Chen Ze just now, and his face did not change at all, indicating that he was not in a hurry at all. He's not in a hurry, let's be in a hurry. ”
"Let's take a look at the next prizes."
On the Internet, some netizens said that they were appeasing other netizens. Other netizens also agreed with their thoughts, feeling that although it did feel very wrong. But let's take a look at what happens next, and what if it's really wrong.
"Next up is the Best Article of the Year Award." On TV, when netizens were a little excited, the host began to award the third award again, "The shortlisted for this year's best article award are Zhang Hao's "Sycamore Tree", Chang Xiaoxiao's "Cafe", Yu Feng's "Old Things", and Chen Ze's "Young China Says". ”
"This time it must be, Chen Ze's "Juvenile China Says" is a classical Chinese, in terms of difficulty and courage, others are not on the same level as him at all."
"I also think so, other people's articles are impossible to be on the same level as Chen Ze's, Chen Ze's article is not at all like modern people can write, and modern people can't produce such people."
"If Chen Ze didn't win this award, then something would definitely be wrong."
Netizens said one after another, like the previous two, netizens know that the gap between this other finalist and Chen Ze's is also very large. With such a big gap, it is generally impossible to have suspense at all. And even if you want to do something balanced, the first two have already been balanced. How can this third one be given to Chen Ze.
However, in their hearts, there is still a faint feeling of bad feelings.
"The winner of this year's best article award is Mr. Yu Feng's "Old Things". On TV, the host announced again, proving the bad feelings of netizens.
"What's going on, what's going on? Why did you lose the third prize again? ”
"What the hell is this poetry association doing? How is it completely different from what was said before, doesn't it mean that it is possible to award all the awards to Chen Ze? Why are you losing all three in a row? ”
"What's even more annoying is that these three awards are only about the level, Chen Ze also completely beat them, and now they are actually lost, haha, this poetry association is really hanging!"
Netizens were completely indignant, losing three awards in a row, everyone knew that something was wrong, it was completely different from what the association said before, something must have happened.
Moreover, it is not good for Chen Ze.
"No, in the end, Chen Ze can only win the Best Poet Award in China." At this time, a netizen said.
The crowd watched his speech and were very worried about what happened. Obviously thinking that Chen Ze might be surrounded and get all the awards, but in the end, he could only get one award, although it was the most important award, but everyone was still very disappointed in their hearts.
Even, some people have a worse conjecture.
If it was as they expected, five or six awards were issued in a row, each of which had Chen Ze's shortlisted name, but none of them were won by Chen Ze.
At this moment, not only Chen Ze's fans, but all the people who attended the party at the scene also felt that something was wrong, they had all heard that Chen Ze might take all the awards before, and they were all indignant at how a hairy boy could do such a thing.
But now, when they saw that none of the awards were taken away by Chen Ze, they began to wonder again, wondering how such a thing could happen. They know Chen Ze's strength better than the outside world, and with his poetry, it is very appropriate to take away all the awards, how can there be no awards.
Everyone secretly looked at Chen Ze, only to see that Chen Ze's face was sinking like water, and he couldn't see what he was thinking at all.

"What's going on?"
At this moment, in a room in the auditorium, a man in his forties and fifties asked another man of about the same age.
This man, Chen Ze, knew that it was Yang Lao, who went to Huaxia Blue TV in Zhejiang Province to promote his "Running Brother" to the director, and he was also a senior member of the Huaxia Poetry Association.
In front of him was the president of the Chinese Poetry Association.
"What's going on?" The chairman looked at Elder Yang, who was a little angry in front of him, and asked lightly.
"How come this award is all given to others?" Yang Lao asked, he also knew that the association had said that all the awards would be awarded to Chen Ze this time, so he would come to the party this time, thinking about witnessing this unprecedented scene.
Who knew that the awards party had already entered the late stage, but there was no award for Chen Ze yet. Not to mention all the awards, there was not even a single award for Chen Ze.
Therefore, he couldn't hold back the doubts and anger in his heart, he directly found the president of the association and asked.
"Lao Yang, you don't know the operation of the association, who is awarded every year is determined in advance, you must be a member of our association for more than ten years, and you have to donate more than 300,000 yuan to the association to get the award, you don't know this, what are you asking now?" The president spoke again, explaining.
"Of course I know this, otherwise I wouldn't have never attended an awards party." Yang Lao spoke, he looked at the president, "I'll ask you, you let the wind go out before, saying that you were going to award all the awards to Chen Ze, I thought there would be changes this time, but I didn't expect it to be like this." If that's the case, why would you let it out? ”
Yang Lao has long known that the association has such unspoken rules, the association's seniority is very strict, and it is impossible for young members to win awards except for the best newcomer, at least if they are members of the association for more than ten years, they have to pay a total membership fee of more than 100,000 yuan to have the most basic qualifications.
But this time is different, this time the association shortlisted all of Chen Ze's works, and also said that all the awards might be awarded to him. When Yang Lao heard this, he thought that the association had changed, but he never expected that the president would still say this.
So if that's the case, why did you want to give Chen Ze all the finalists, and let it go out to attract the attention of the public?
Before the chairman could answer, Elder Yang suddenly understood: "I know, you saw that Chen Ze is now popular, so you deliberately released such words, so as to use his popularity to increase attention to the award ceremony." You are using Chen Ze. ”
He remembered the media interview group that he had never seen before, and so many viewers waiting in front of the TV and computer to watch the live broadcast, and suddenly understood.
"As a new poet who has risen later, Chen Ze should make some contributions to our association." The chairman smiled and admitted Yang Lao's statement in disguise.
He really had this plan, so he gave Chen Ze an invitation letter and gave Chen Ze a shortlist, in order to borrow Chen Ze's fame. As for really awarding the award to Chen Ze, he never thought about it.
Every industry has its own rules, and the chairman feels that even if Chen Ze is a star, he is only a newcomer in the poetry industry, and newcomers have to abide by the rules of this industry.
"Our association is just borrowing Chen Ze's fame, as a newcomer in the field of poetry, shouldn't he make a little contribution to our association? Lao Yang, don't worry, when Chen Ze stays in our association for ten years, I will definitely give him an award. The president said.
"Don't say it so nicely, you think I can't guess." Yang Lao suddenly spoke, "You have agreed with those sponsors, as long as Chen Ze attends, they will give you a lot of kickbacks." Are you for the association? I think you're doing it for yourself. ”
"If it's for the association, of course, I can contribute a little bit to myself, so what's so bad." The chairman smiled and admitted Yang Lao's guess.
"You." Hearing the president's shameless words, Elder Yang immediately became angry, and even wanted to scold people a little, "Aren't you afraid that Chen Ze will turn against you and the entire association?" ”
"Flip around? Hahaha, is he embarrassed? Is it because I didn't give him a single award? (To be continued.) )
