The three nominations for the Best Newcomer Award in this year's "Literary Award of the Year" by the Ministry of Culture surprised many people.

No name on the list!

Even if Xu Lao spoke for the online article, even if "Full-time Master" and "The World of Writing" are very popular, even if after Xu Lao, Professor Chen Yanlin and Ye Yu and others also spoke for the online article, but Zizhan, as a representative figure of online writers, still does not even have a nomination for the Best Newcomer Award!

Still nowhere on the list!

What does this mean?

Does it mean that in the official view, online articles still can't be put on the table?

Is this the official attitude of the Ministry of Culture towards online literature?

For a time, many media outlets expressed their views on the situation.

Obviously, in the eyes of the Ministry of Culture, online literature is still not on the stage. There is still no Zi Zhan in the nomination for this year's Best Newcomer Award, which is the best evidence. ”

"In recent months, several well-known domestic writers have affirmed the merits of online literature, but the attitude of the Ministry of Culture is diametrically opposite, and it can even be said that it is very tough, because Zizhan has not even been nominated, does this mean that the selection of the 'Annual Literary Award' has begun to break away from the circle of literature, and the aesthetic taste of the Ministry of Culture has begun to become the focus of scoring and the key to winning the award? If this is the case, the authority of the 'Literary Prize of the Year' will be dealt a huge blow in the long run. ”

"After all, online literature is just online literature, and it is difficult to get official recognition."

"Due to the hints and statements of the Ministry of Culture in online literature, the status of online literature in the literary world has finally risen, and I am afraid that it will face another blow."

……

And some writers and critics who have always opposed online articles and looked down on online articles have also joined in the excitement around their necks.

Qi Yongyi (well-known writer): "I have always believed that online literature is vulgar literature, and I would like to express my support for the Ministry of Culture's refusal to select online literature for the 'Annual Literature Award'. ”

Liu Bin (well-known critic): "Online novels are all vulgar and indiscriminate novels. I've seen some of them before, and it's just unsightly, and the Ministry of Culture's approach is really gratifying! ”

Song Hanlan (well-known writer): "Online novels can't be called 'literature' at all, and it is natural that they cannot be selected for the 'Annual Literary Award'. ”

Wei Cai (well-known writer): "For Ye Yu and the Internet writer Zizhan, and the friendship is not shallow, as his predecessor in the literary world. I was disappointed. Because online literature can't be put on the table. ”

……

And for this situation, the most dissatisfied and disappointed is probably the online writers themselves.

An old author's exchange group.

"What a disappointment...... It seems that although Xu Lao and them help to speak, we still can't get on the stage in the official opinion......"

"Zizhan can't even be nominated for Best Newcomer, so we have no hope at all."

"It should be said that in the entire online literature circle, all online writers have no hope."

"I thought that this year, our online writers would be selected for the 'Literary Award of the Year' for the first time, even if it was just a nomination, but there was no nomination!"

I took a look. The three people who were nominated are far from Zizhan! Even if the Ministry of Culture looks down on online novels, the poems in Zizhan's book "Wen Shocking the World" are not fake, right? Poetry alone can kill those three people in seconds, okay? Didn't Ye Yu start with poetry back then? Where is Zizhan's poetry worse than Ye Yu?! Not to mention that the writing of "The World is Shocking" is also very good! Even Mr. Xu opened the vest to reward! ! This is naked discrimination by the Ministry of Culture, and it is discrimination against the entire online literature circle! ”

"Not convinced! I'm not convinced! I was unconvinced, I didn't want to code words, and I decided to protest! ”

"I'll rub it, Xiaofu, you just don't want to update......"

"Not necessarily, maybe Zizhan is the vest of a traditional literary writer. It's actually been more than three years since he debuted. So I didn't get the newcomer award. ”

……

Soon, such news became the hottest topic in the online literature circle.

And because it involves the "Literary Award of the Year". Involving the literary world, involving the official status of online articles, and the development trend of online articles in recent years has been very good, many media have paid attention to it, and some media have even set up special topics, which have aroused discussions among netizens. Collect netizens' views on the incident of "Zizhan missed the Best Newcomer Award", as well as their views on online articles.

For a time, it became the hottest topic of controversy in China.

……

"In response to the nomination of the 'Annual Literature Award' released by the Ministry of Culture a few days ago, many netizens are puzzled and dissatisfied with the fact that 'Zizhan missed the Best Newcomer Award', what does the Ministry of Culture think about this?"

A few days later. At a reception held by the Ministry of Culture on the building of spiritual civilization, a reporter asked a question, but the question was about something completely unrelated to the content of the news conference.

"Is this the official attitude of the Ministry of Culture towards online literature?"

"I've read Zizhan's novels, and it's hard to say about his other novels, but for the book "Wen Shocking the World", I personally think that Zizhan is definitely qualified to be selected and even won the 'Best Newcomer Award' with it, which is also the unanimous opinion of many netizens on the Internet, what is the reason why the Ministry of Culture does not nominate Zizhan as the best newcomer this year?"

The reporters asked in a rambling manner.

Obviously, compared with the construction of spiritual civilization, there are more interesting things about Zizhan and the nomination for this year's Best Newcomer Award.

In the face of reporters' questions, Ma Pengyi, spokesman for the Ministry of Culture, waved his hand and signaled quiet, not surprised by the reporters' questions, but seemed to have expected them.

Although this issue has nothing to do with this press conference, after the reporters calmed down, Ma Pengyi said slowly: "Internet literature and traditional literature have their own merits, and on the whole, there is no question of whether it is vulgar or not. However, the online environment is obviously more relaxed than the real environment, lacking constraints and the deterrent effect of the law, which can easily lead to the vulgarization of some online novels. As a result, online literature needs stricter and more frequent censorship and restrictions. There is no doubt about it. ”

Obviously, this is the Ministry of Culture's view of online literature, and the reporters quickly wrote it down.

"As for the recent popular 'Zizhan missed the Best Newcomer Award' on the Internet, it is purely false." Ma Pengyi said.

The reporters looked up, stunned.

Nothing? Is this a matter of pure fiction? What do you mean? Could it be that the wrong announcement was made, Zizhan was actually nominated for the best newcomer?

Ma continued: "When we nominated the best newcomer of the year, we took Zizhan into account, but in the end we eliminated it. The reason for the exclusion is that Zizhan once won the 'Best Newcomer Award'. ”

Hearing this, the reporters were in an uproar.

"However, because this is personal privacy, we cannot disclose Zizhan's actual identity without consulting his own opinion."

PS: I wish you all a happy new year and all the best in advance! We would also like to thank our readers for their continued support!
