Chapter 249: Is it a provocation? Or is it a challenge?
The atmosphere of the award ceremony was pushed to the maximum, Lin Xiao took the trophy of the Rookie Award from Jack's hand, and then put it to his mouth affectionately and kissed it gently.
The applause at the scene gradually subsided, Lin Xiao stood in front of the microphone, held two trophies, took two deep breaths, and prepared to make an acceptance speech.
Lin Xiao now has a different feeling in his heart, he can't tell clearly, he can't tell clearly, his heart seems to be blocked by something, this feeling is not only not uncomfortable, but a little comfortable and moving.
At this moment, he finally felt that feeling, here, he felt that he was not representing himself personally, but on behalf of Huaxia, this is also the first time, Lin Xiao linked himself and Huaxia with the two words, at this moment, Huaxia in his heart, is not just two words, a word, but a spirit, a faith, is the first time he feels willing to give everything for the faith.
Everyone looked at Lin Xiao quietly, waiting for his speech, which is also a speech worthy of being remembered in the history of the Ellen Awards, and everyone hopes that Lin Xiao can have a wonderful speech, so that he can be worthy of this wonderful award and live up to the three awards.
"First of all, thank you all for giving me such a round of applause, and thank you President Jack for presenting me with this award. Thank you to the judges of the Mystery Fiction Society for giving me such a big honor. As he spoke, Lin Xiao bowed to the audience and Jack, and the scene once again remembered warm applause.
The huge honor that Lin Xiao said is not this newcomer award, but the three awards together, which is the most important meaning.
Lin Xiao paused for a moment and said, "In the world of mystery novels, I am a complete newcomer, and I only wrote my first mystery novel a year ago. It's Murder on the Orient Express, so it's an honor to be here a year later. Feel flattered and thank you all for your kindness! ”
Lin Xiao is actually being modest, because his "Poirot Detective Collection" has been published in Europe, and the number of copies published in the island country has reached 6 million!
Although the domestic sales are less than one million copies, the foreign market is very hot! The sales of 6 million copies in the international market are not much to boast about. But as a newcomer, and a Chinese, this achievement has exploded, and it is an existence that many mystery novelists look up to.
Lin Xiao's modesty makes these foreigners feel very useful, sometimes. They like the humble Chinese because this attitude makes them feel superior, even if it is someone else who wins the award.
Next, Lin Xiaofeng turned around: "Standing here today, I feel that I don't represent myself, but on behalf of China, on behalf of China's reasoning novels!" I didn't have any new works in the past year. But that doesn't mean I'm not improving, I'm not going to make progress, I'm going to launch new works in the future. I believe that my next work will surpass my previous writings, "Murder on the Orient Express" and "Murder on the Nile"! ”
Lin Xiao looked around, revealing a domineering spirit, his right hand clenched into a fist and suddenly stretched out to the sky, and said, "From today." Chinese mystery novels will officially gain a foothold here. And keep doing great things! I'll be here again at the next Ellen Awards! ”
Lin Xiao's last words were loud. And it is sonorous and powerful, so that everyone present can feel the incomparably firm confidence in his heart!
Some people are dissatisfied with Lin Xiao at this time, do you dare to say that you will succeed next time? Do you dare to say that you represent China? You're declaring war on the world mystery fiction community!
A success with a tail cocked to the sky? It's really unbelievable!
The feeling in Lin Xiao's heart at this moment has been completely released, and the more he speaks, the more passionate he becomes: "Today, I am standing here, tomorrow, Chinese mystery novels will stand here, and in the future, the Chinese literary world will also stand on the international stage and accept the cheers of the crowd!" I hope that the people of each of our countries can do their best to make their own contribution to the development of world culture! Thank you! ”
Lin Xiao ended his testimonial, or speech, his words may be a little arrogant, but at this moment, no one dares to stand up and question him face to face, because he is the one standing at the highest point at this moment! There is absolutely no doubt about it.
But many people, including some mystery fiction writers, think that what Lin Xiao said is too arrogant! This is a provocation to them! Everyone has their own pride and self-esteem, how can they tolerate Lin Xiao being so wild?
Lin Xiao stepped off the stage, the applause was smaller this time, and many people were already dissatisfied with Lin Xiao.
The last award, the Best Mystery Novel Award, is also the ultimate prize of the Ellen Award, which was won by Anne, and the attribution of this award is well deserved, Anne has everything to win this trophy, and she is also the second time to win this trophy.
When Anne held the trophy high to cheer at the scene, the award ceremony of this year's Ellen Award and Dillinger Award also came to an end, Anne from the United States and Lin Xiao from China became the biggest winners of this time, of course, the two also represented the United States and China respectively.
After the award ceremony, it was time for reporters to interview, and there were many reporters in front of Lin Xiao, comparable to Annie's, with long guns and short guns in front of him, and one question after another was thrown at Lin Xiao.
Including asking him why no new books came out this year, how he felt about the success of "Murder on the Orient Express" and "Murder on the Nile" in foreign publishing markets, and asking him about his new book plans, etc., of course, the most asked questions were about this year's Allen awards ceremony.
For Lin Xiao to win three Ellen Awards at one time, all the media have given a positive attitude and praised, which is a world-recognized achievement, impeccable and unquestionable.
But Lin Xiao's final arrogance made many people uncomfortable, this kind of topical news is of course the favorite of reporters, and after praising Lin Xiao's achievements, reporters began to ask questions about this issue.
"Mr. Lin, I wonder if what you said in the last part of the day was said in a moment of excitement?"
"When you won the Newcomer Award, your comments were very passionate, but were you a little overconfident?"
"Mr. Lin, can you think that your last speech today is a provocation to the world's mystery novelists?"
Sharp questions were thrown at Lin Xiao, making Lin Xiao cry and laugh, these reporters obviously want to buckle a big hat for themselves, once this hat is deducted sincerely, it will be a lot of crimes.
But Lin Xiao didn't have anything to do at this time, what he said, he couldn't help but admit it, so Lin Xiao had no choice but to say: "Well, maybe everyone misunderstood what I meant, I didn't show disrespect to anyone, I was just telling the truth, I was out of confidence in myself, I believe I can stand here next time, that's all." ”
Lin Xiao's explanation was still very arrogant, at this time, a figure passed by, and just heard Lin Xiao's words, and suddenly snorted coldly: "It's really arrogant, you are indeed very powerful, but this proud attitude is really annoying!" You, Lin Xiao, dare to accept my challenge? ”
