The Author of the Year contest sounds like a more formal and high-level competition, but in fact it is. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

This is indeed one of the most important literary competitions in China at this time and space.

Now in China, there are also many literary awards similar to the Mao Dun Literature Award in the previous life, among which there are several influential ones, and there are also different categories, such as awards for science fiction novels, and awards for suspense novels.

But these novel awards are all given to a book, and only this year-end author contest is awarded to individuals.

Of course, there are many literary contests awarded to individuals, but this annual author contest is the most famous and the most golden.

In addition to some major sponsors and some well-known figures, there are also backgrounds from the government, including the Writers' Association.

In this way, there are many different forces that carry out this kind of competition.

For example, the prize money of this grand prize is sponsored by many sponsors, and there are also some celebrities' money as funds, which are used for investment and bank interest income as bonuses, and some are official sources of funding.

So it also makes the prize money of this award particularly high.

Moreover, the prize money of the award is not static, because there are many factors, so the prize money will fluctuate every year.

For example, in the last decade, the highest year, the most valuable prize for "Best Author" was 13 million, the lowest. At the time, the prize money for this prize was not even a million!

And the fluctuation of this bonus is relatively large because of the sponsors' sponsorship, and the other items are not high, and they are basically fixed.

But the sponsors have money!

As for why these prize money fluctuates, it depends on the impact of the contest within a year.

If there are a lot of topical figures and far-reaching works in this competition, the sponsors will see that their interests will increase, and they will be willing to invest in sponsorship or something. In the end, these sponsorships will be distributed by the organizing committee of the annual author contest in a certain proportion, and a large part of them will eventually be used as prize money.

This competition has been developed for many years and has been gradually improved, and it is also a relatively commercial competition.

In modern times, only when commercialization is successful can there be money, and only when there is money can you expand your influence, but the attention of those who really play pure art is not high, after all, if that thing has a high degree of attention, commercialization can naturally be carried out.

It is a virtuous circle and a vicious circle process.

Such a competition, for the Chinese, is also an annual event, the competition starts in May, will continue until November of that year, to December, that is, at the end of the year, the competition will have a final result.

In recent years, with the development of China's economy, petty bourgeoisie has become stronger and stronger, and more and more people like to pay attention to literature, and they are still a group of people who have the ability to consume, not to mention the desire to consume.

These people began to gradually support China's literary market, so that this market began to have a certain hope, and also had a higher and higher output value.

Similar to the entertainment industry, China has a huge advantage of a large number of people and a vast market, and many best-selling authors sell books that are unimaginable to people in other countries.

Compared with the huge Chinese population base, the proportion of people concerned by this kind of literary event is not large, but because the base is too high, the people who pay attention to it are already quite terrifying.

There are so many people, enough to make a lot of writers pay attention and make money together.

In this regard, the influence of the author contest at the end of the year is also increasing, and it is not only influential in China, but has even begun to radiate to the entire Confucian civilization circle, and there are many people in China, Japan and South Korea, and even in Southeast Asia.

That's what this contest is all about.

In the past two years, eastern China has basically completed the industrial transformation, the central and western regions have also begun to take off, and the economic situation of the whole country is very good, which has also driven the cultural industry, whether it is the entertainment industry or the entertainment industry, the development status is okay, so the prize money of this year's annual author contest should not be less.

This contest is going to get better and better.

It was at this time that Li Kuo received an invitation to the competition.

Li Kuo saw the invitation letter in the mailbox.

This annual author contest is not about selecting authors directly and then choosing them directly regardless of their wishes, but inviting them to sign up.

Of course, for this contest, it is natural that the more famous the writers who sign up for, the happier they are.

Because the fame of writers and their works are related to the final income of an annual author contest, and whether the influence of a contest will be great.

For example, if you get a good author in a year, and his work has a far-reaching impact, the influence of the contest will naturally increase a lot, and when the time comes, all the sponsors will come, and money will not be a problem.

In fact, Li Kuo seems to be a young man with great potential in this year's annual author competition, after all, he has had several successful works so far, and his works are basically relatively popular.

Including his previous best-selling "Notes on Tomb Robbery", as well as the previous "Chivalrous Journey" and "The Moon Knife at the End of the World" are all very popular works.

And the more critical point is that compared with other young writers who became famous at a young age, Li Kuo also has a kind of humanistic care that makes people feel emotional, which is mainly about "A Bowl of Yangchun Noodles".

That article touched many people, and it also made many people reacquaint themselves with Li Kuo and begin to like him.

The touching brought by "A Bowl of Yangchun Noodles" is vivid for many people.

So it was natural for someone like Li Kuo to be invited to participate in the Author of the Year Contest.

They invited Li Kuo to participate in the newcomer section of the annual author contest, because Li Kuo had not participated in this annual author contest before, so his current identity is the newcomer group.

Although Li Kuo does not have a professional analysis team now, he also understands that if he can get a good ranking or even directly win the first place in such a competition, it will play a very important role in the road he wants to go forward.

This can be seen from the development of those who have received this award in previous years...... And although this award has some commerciality, it is very well-known in the entire literary world, and the gold content is also very high! (To be continued.) )
