"Fatigue of Life and Death" ranked first in the awards, and was selected as the winning work of the 5th Mao Award with full votes!

There is no controversy about this result.

After all, "Fatigue of Life and Death" has been well received since its publication, and has been unanimously praised by domestic critics, and at the same time, readers are also very fond of it, and the book sales are also the first printing to exceed one million, and the sales volume exceeded two million copies in one year, and its influence in China is very huge.

"Fatigue of Life and Death" won the Mao Award, and it deserves its name!

However, an accident happened.

The reporters present looked at the final list of award-winning works on the whiteboard and were stunned.

Xiao Fei's other work "Brothers", which was shortlisted for the nomination award, was also ranked fourth among the award-winning works!

This means that in the 5th Mao Awards, two of Xiao Fei's works won this award, which is shocking!

This hasn't happened before.

It can be seen that the judges also have a preference for "Brothers", and a considerable number of judges have included "Brothers" in their own choices while choosing "Life and Death Fatigue".

This creates the present dilemma.

The three deputy directors looked at each other and smiled bitterly.

They didn't expect this to happen.

Zhang Kai coughed and said: "According to the rules discussed before, remove "Brothers", and then postpone the following works." ”

The staff erased "Brothers".

Under "Brothers", is Wang Anyi's "Song of Long Hatred", this talented woman in the magic capital caught up with the last train of the 5th Mao Award.

But another rookie writer, Wang Xufeng's tea man trilogy, was squeezed out of the list of winners.

"Hum—"

See the winning entries change on the whiteboard. Only then did the reporters present come to their senses and began to discuss.

"I declare. The final results of the 5th Mao Dun Literature Award are: "Life and Death Fatigue", "Choice", "Dust Settled", "Song of Long Hatred"! Congratulations to the four award-winning writers, and thank you for your attention and support from all walks of life! ”

Zhang Kai announced the final result.

Subsequently. The scene turned into a press conference.

Many reporters asked a lot of questions to the judges of the jury, trying to dig out the details of the award process.

"Director Kai, hello! I have a question here that I would like to ask, why each award of the Mao Award is so difficult to deliver, and the results of the fourth award were not finally selected until 98, which took a full four years; The 5th Mao Award was a little shorter, and it took nearly two years to get the final result? The Nobel Prize in Literature is evaluated every year, but it has results in the same year, is our efficiency too slow? A reporter from the People's Daily was the first to ask a sharp question.

"The Mao Award is slow to be awarded. There are many reasons, but the most important one is that our award attitude is very prudent and rigorous, and we hope that each judge can be familiar with all the entries and have a fair and clear understanding, which requires the judges to read each work carefully, which takes a long time. The Nobel Prize is for writers, while the Mao Prize is for works, which is different. Also, in the future, our awards will improve the efficiency. Thank you! Zhang Kai replied.

"Hello Secretary Zhang, many people think that the work "Brothers" is more influential internationally than "Life and Death Fatigue", and readers seem to prefer it. What I want to ask is, since the object of the award is the same writer, why not award the Mao Prize to "Brothers"? Another reporter asked.

"It's done according to the rules that have been set before. Thank you! Zhang Kai said succinctly.

"Could you please comment on the four award-winning works?"

"I only want to say one thing: these four works will have the last laugh. It shows that they are excellent! ”

……

Xiao Fei knew that the final result of the Mao Award would be released on the 11th, so. He has been paying attention to the movements of the writers' association.

He's looking forward to the results.

It is inevitable that there will be some nervousness in the mood.

The work that should be done has been done, and the work that has been brought out is also the best work. And this year's Mao Award is also very fair.

Xiao Fei felt that he should win the award.

But what if?

Until the results are in, no one knows if there will be any surprises.

Xiao Fei really doesn't want to miss this year's Mao Award, if he misses it, what will happen next time, everything will really become unknown.

Thinking about the 6th Mao Awards, Mr. Mo Yan's "Life and Death Fatigue" would be ignored, Xiao Fei felt a chill.

It's already a senior.

He will graduate next year.

There are very few classes in the first half of his senior year, Xiao Fei's thesis has been opened, and after writing this graduation thesis, he can be regarded as officially struggling to go ashore from the sea of learning.

He and Xu Fengjuan were reading books and checking information in the library.

Xiao Fei flipped through the book in his hand and discussed the thesis with Xu Fengjuan in a whisper.

It was about eleven o'clock in the morning when his cell phone rang.

Xiao Fei got up and walked out of the door of the reading room, the phone was called by Meng Xidong, after Xiao Fei answered the phone, he heard him shouting loudly and excitedly: "Xiao Fei, congratulations!" Your work "Fatigue of Life and Death" won the 5th Mao Award! ”

Hearing this, Xiao Fei's original heart completely fell into his stomach.

"Thank you, Brother Meng!"

"You're welcome! The results have just been announced, and "Life and Death Fatigue" has been voted by all the judges, and the full votes are ranked first, and Ba Lao's choice is also yours! So, you deserve this award! Meng Xi said.

"What are the other novels that have won awards?" Xiao Fei asked.

Meng Xidong told Xiao Fei about it.

Xiao Fei found that in addition to his own variable, this list was exactly the same as in his previous life.

Meng Xidong told him again that "Brothers" was actually awarded the fourth place in the Mao Award by the judges, and then it was canceled, and "Song of Long Hatred" was postponed to the throne.

Xiao Fei was quite proud when he heard it.

After answering Meng Xidong's call, Xiao Fei's heart was surging and full of emotion. In order to operate this Mao Award, he has been preparing for more than four years, and now he has finally got his wish.

Many outstanding writers in China have struggled all their lives, but in fact, the ultimate goal is just a Mao Award. In this life, when he was 23 years old, he had already got it in his hands.

Looking back on the past four years, he has made too many efforts, and of course, he has also reaped a lot of fruits.

If you think about it, you have completed your career, and it is time to work hard towards the Nobel Prize in Literature. It's just that it's too difficult to win the Nobel Prize.

It is not only the quality of the writer's work and personal influence, but also the political consideration, the ideological depth of the work, the cultural background, and the luck consideration.

All he can do is keep building momentum for himself.

For example, the works sell well all over the world and are highly respected and loved by readers around the world; For another example, digging deep into the culture of regions and nationalities, the works show the grandest theme, which shocks the hearts of the Nobel Prize judges and makes them not ignore themselves.

But, overall, today is a really wonderful day, and it should be celebrated!

Xiao Fei returned to the reading room.

"Is the result of the award out?" Xu Fengjuan looked at the words and asked.

"Yes." Xiao Fei nodded.

"Which of your works won the award?" Xu Fengjuan asked again.

Xiao Fei deliberately wrinkled his brows: "How can you be so sure that I will definitely win the award?" I wrote so badly that the judges couldn't look at it, how could I win the award? ”

Xu Fengjuan laughed: "Bad guy, joking with me again, when you came back from the phone just now, I kept looking at you, you couldn't stop laughing, you will still pretend to be with me!" ”

It turns out that I am shallow!

It's already overjoyed.

Xiao Fei shook his head and said to Xu Fengjuan: "Juan'er, my "Fatigue of Life and Death" won the award, just a call from Meng Xidong of Huaxia Youth Daily, he was there when the Mao Award was finally selected. ”

"Yikes! Xiao Fei, that's really good, in this way, you have already won the highest literary award in China. Xu Fengjuan's smile suddenly bloomed, so bright, with a happy face. Just like in his previous life, Xiao Fei published a tofu block in the newspaper every time he gave her what he looked like after he knew it.

"You're a great man, aren't you?"

"Hmmm! It's awesome! Fly, you are my pride. ”

"Then a kiss counts as a reward."

"Too many people, embarrassed to ......"

Just when the two were lying on the table and muttering quietly, looking at each other happily, enjoying the happiness of Xiao Fei's award, the school radio rang out. (To be continued.) )
