"Xiao Fei, you know everything, right? Now it's a mess outside, and many writers in the circle are angry. Liu Zelai brought Xiao Fei a cup of hot tea, sat down on the sofa next to him, and said.

"I see." Xiao Fei nodded.

The revelation of the judges' chaos will definitely trigger a strong backlash from the whole society.

This is the first time that the Lu Award has exposed so many dark sides, which makes the writers in the circle extremely angry and the whole society in an uproar.

Of course, the only thing that brought the Lu Award was the negative impact.

This is a crisis, and if it is not resolved, the new Lu Award will definitely have a bad image.

While this abscess is not fatal, presenting it to the public as soon as possible, so that the relevant parties have to endure the pain, may be of great benefit to the healthy development of Lu Prize in the future.

Xiao Fei thought so.

He felt that he was doing a good deed, too.

Well, by the way, also get a little benefit for yourself, which is also called the best of both worlds.

According to the discipline of the organizing committee of the Lu Award, once it is found that the relevant judges accept bribes and other violations of law and discipline and unhealthy practices such as favors, they will be disqualified from the relevant judges and staff, and the qualifications for the relevant works will also be cancelled.

The jury suffered a setback.

The voices of the majority of readers will inevitably be heeded.

The results of the readers' selection of the Lu Award conducted by the Huaxia Youth Daily will definitely be valued by the jury. This is Xiao Fei's wishful thinking.

"I heard that Zhang Meng, a judge of the Lu Prize Prose Award Jury, has been revoked by the Lu Prize Organizing Committee, and the few problematic judges who were exposed by the Huaxia Youth Daily have also been disqualified from continuing to serve as judges. This time, the National Writers' Association moved quite quickly. The force is also quite strong. Liu Ze said.

"Doing so will help restore the reputation of the Lu Prize, as smart people do." Xiao Fei laughed.

"Next. How do we do that? Liu Zelai asked.

"Let's wait and see what happens. The previous actions are strong enough, and I believe that they are already pushing things in the direction we want. Xiao Fei said.

In fact, Xiao Fei has the next move.

But looking at the current situation, he felt that there was no need to continue to send it out.

"That's fine, by the way, Xiao Fei, don't you have two signing sessions in the past few days?" Liu Zelai asked.

"Yes, two signing sessions next to each other, if you don't agree, you can't do it." Xiao Fei shook his head. A wry smile on his face.

It's almost mid-December, and the single book on "Brothers" launched by the Writers Publishing House has just been released recently, and it is selling quite well.

Li Tianran, the editor of the Writers' Club, contacted Xiao Fei, hoping that he could hold a signing with the Writers' Club at the famous Sanwei Bookstore in Beijing on December 13, that is, this Saturday.

Xiao Fei calculated the time, there was nothing to do that day, and in order to ease the relationship with the writers' club, he agreed.

However, subsequently. The editor of "Harvest" Cheng also called Xiao Fei, saying that the supplement issue of the novel published under "Brothers" has been printed and is expected to be released on December 13.

Cheng editor said that "Harvest" wants to hold a first signing ceremony in Beijing. It is located in the main store of Xinhua Bookstore in Beijing.

Xiao Fei was furious when he heard it, and said in his heart, didn't the two parties discuss it and deliberately embarrassed me, right? How can the signing be on the same day?

He told Editor Cheng. The writers' club had just called him before, asking him to cooperate with a signing at Sanwei Bookstore on the 13th.

Cheng asked the editor. The writers' club plans to do this signing on the 13th.

Xiao Fei said that the other party asked for it to be arranged in the morning.

Cheng editor said. Then we'll have a good morning on the 14th.

After all, the writers' club launched a single book of the first half of "Brothers", and the harvest launched a long-form special issue similar to a single book in the second half of "Brothers".

"Harvest" doesn't plan to get into trouble with the writers' club.

Xiao Fei also agreed to Editor Cheng's request.

In this way, he had to be busy with book signing for two consecutive days on the 13th and 14th. Now, the news of these two signing sessions has come out, and more than a dozen newspapers in the capital have sent short message drafts.

Liu Zelai hesitated for a moment and said: """Ghost Blows the Lantern" has been published, and we Hanmo plan to launch "Tomb Robbery Notes" this month, Xiao Fei, we also plan to have a grand launch ceremony, look, can you cooperate?" ”

"I know that this request will make you very embarrassed, but recently, our company has received a lot of letters from readers, strongly asking the author of "Sha Seng Diary", "Wukong Biography" and "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" to come to a national tour signing meeting, everyone wants to see the real person of the owner of Mengbi Zhai, ......"

Liu Zelai laughed: "Actually, I have told you these words many times, and it is estimated that your ears are calloused." Xiao Fei, why don't you change your appearance and help us sign our own books as the owner of Mengbi Zhai. ”

Xiao Fei rubbed his temples.

He had some headaches.

Transfiguration again and appearing in public as another doppelganger?

However, this is not to say that it is okay to show up once. In the current media, many reporters are digging out the identity of the owner of Mengbizhai.

If you show up at this time, you will definitely be chased and intercepted by reporters, right?

Xiao Fei hesitated again and again, but still felt that it didn't seem appropriate, so he shook his head with a smile and said, "Brother Zelai, it's not good, I think it's better to forget it." ”

"What's wrong, just appear once, and then continue to be mysterious," Liu Ze said.

"I think it's more beneficial for me to continue the mystery now, just not showing up, and to be honest, I have too many things to do now, and I don't want to make trouble for myself anymore." Xiao Fei explained seriously.

"Okay then." Liu Zelai was very helpless.

"That, Xiao Fei, I just received good news. The first volume of "Tomb Robbery Notes" has already been pre-ordered for 1.2 million copies, I see. We can go through the first printing of 2 million copies. Liu Zelai said again.

"Okay! Then 2 million first prints. Xiao Fei nodded.

has the huge popularity of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" at the bottom, and it is simply certain that "Notes on Tomb Robbery" is on the market.

……

"Why should I be disqualified from jurying? What the hell have I done out of the ordinary. And what discipline was violated? I know that I may have a little selfish distraction and want to bring up my dear juniors, but, Lao Lin, I, Zhang Meng, only have a little bit of ideas, and I haven't put them into action, right? It's good now that I was disqualified from the jury and exposed in the media. What's so good about making me stink? ”

"I don't accept it, I don't accept it! Lao Lin, you have to give me an explanation, if it doesn't work, I'll go find Ba Lao, I believe he will return my innocence! ”

National Writers Association, Lin Yuanxin's office.

Zhang Meng was yelling.

He was very emotional.

Just yesterday, Zhang Meng and several other judges were notified that their qualifications as judges were terminated. They will no longer have to participate in the relevant Lu Award judging activities in the future.

Before that, Zhang Meng had seen the negative about himself published in the Huaxia Youth Daily.

When he saw it, he was terrified, because what he was talking about was exactly what he had been operating before. He was shocked to see who had betrayed him.

There must be an inner ghost!

It must be someone who knows him well who told the media about his little caution.

He also knew that something bad was going to happen now.

Initially. Zhang Meng is still lucky, he thinks. The Lu Award Organizing Committee may help him cover it up, after all, this is for the Lu Award Organizing Committee. It's a big scandal that will cause great damage to the Lu Award itself.

Zhang Meng hopes that the National Writers Association and the Lu Award Organizing Committee can come forward to refute the rumors, and he is ready to cooperate with a statement denying it.

However, he never dreamed that the National Writers Association and the Lu Award Organizing Committee would act so aggressively, and dealt with himself without understanding the situation from himself at all.

This Nima is too vigorous, right?

If this board is allowed to fall firmly on his body, then he Zhang Meng will be completely discredited, how can he mix in this circle in the future!

Zhang Meng immediately rushed to the National Writers' Association to complain to the leaders of the Writers' Association and the Organizing Committee of the Lu Prize, and resolutely denied the accusations against him in the Huaxia Youth Daily, believing that they were all blood-spraying or something.

However, it was already too late.

Zhang Meng was too ignorant of restraint before, and it can also be said that he was too arrogant in making small movements, but now, retribution is coming.

Several people testified against him that in order to put his people on the list of Lu Award nominees, Zhang Meng did a lot of things that could not be put on the table, and even put forward the bad idea of dividing the nomination award places.

These people are conclusive, and they can be regarded as witnessing him.

Therefore, it is conceivable that Zhang Meng did not get any support from the leaders at all.

He could only shout and vent his inner frustration.

After Zhang Meng left, Lin Yuanxin leaned back on the chair and rubbed his face with his hand, he shook his head and let out a long sigh.

There was such a big scandal on the jury of the Lu Prize Prose Award, and he, the chairman, also has responsibility.

Lin Yuanxin proposed to the leaders to resign from the post of chairman and withdraw from the organizing committee of this year's Lu Award. But the leader did not agree, and the leader told Lin Yuanxin that the award had reached this point, and he had to stick to it no matter what!

Hold on!

However, how do you select five winning entries from the ten nominations?

Lin Yuanxin looked at the list of nominations for the prose award on the table, and he found that among these ten works, the one that is now in the limelight is Xiao Fei's "The Sunshine Shines Those Old Times".

And in his original plan, he didn't plan to let this work be awarded this year's Lu Award, Lin Yuanxin believes that Xiao Fei is still young and can afford to wait.

Some old writers, but they can't wait too long!

But now, if "The Sun Burns Those Old Times" is defeated, will it cause an uproar in public opinion again? The stormy Lu Award can't afford to hurt now.

Lin Yuanxin's eyebrows condensed into a Sichuan character, and he was entangled to the extreme. (To be continued......)
