However, looking at the current situation, Lin Yuanxin now thinks that it is estimated that it will be difficult for Xiao Fei to get a nomination award.

These judges have selfish thoughts one by one, will they nominate Xiao Fei? Will they tolerate a hairy boy crawling on their heads?

nominated Xiao Fei by himself, and it was also for nothing.

But it can be regarded as an explanation for the man.

Lin Yuanxin thought so, looking at the others, they had already stopped writing, and it seemed that everyone had already been confident about the works and writers they wanted to nominate.

"I'm done, so turn it in." Lin Yuanxin greeted.

On the side, two staff members of the Chinese Writers Association had already been stationed, two men and one woman, supervising each other to collect the nomination list of all the judges.

These lists are all real-name system, and they don't need to be formed into paper balls or anything, just read them directly.

A whiteboard was set up in the conference room.

The male staff is responsible for writing down the names of the works on the whiteboard, while the female staff is responsible for the roll call.

Three or four of the judges, who had nothing to do, stood behind the female staff and watched her sing their names in a long voice.

This is actually a kind of supervision.

There are only eleven nominations in total, and I read it very quickly.

Dozens of works were quickly written on the whiteboard, and then some of the long-awaited collections of essays began to stand out.

Lin Yuanxin was surprised to find that the collection "The Sun Burned Those Old Times" received as many as 8 votes from the judges, which was really unexpected.

This Xiao Fei also talked about the other judges, right?

Lin Yuanxin thought of Liu Zelai's identity as the general manager of Hanmo Company, and began to realize a little. It is estimated that the other seven judges who recommended Xiao Fei also cooperated with Hanmo, right?

He just couldn't figure it out, why would Hanmo Company work so hard for Xiao Fei?

watched the votes for "The Sun Gets Old Those Old Times" on the whiteboard rise. In addition to the one vote he voted for and the two votes exchanged with the two judges, he did not add any new recommendations. Zhang Meng's face was a little gloomy.

Three votes for recommendation is not enough to push one's own person to the nomination award.

Now the tenth work on the whiteboard has received 4 votes, and Zhang Meng also knows that the two judges who have not yet voted will definitely not nominate their own candidates.

That means that the people who try their best to push up will not even be shortlisted for the nomination award this time.

This made him feel very uncomfortable.

After all the judges' nominations were read, Zhang Meng shouted before Lin Yuanxin could speak: "What's the matter?" What's going on? Xiao Fei, the author of "The Sun Burns Those Old Times", I remember that he was just a child in his twenties, right? Can the work of such a child who has not grown all hair be shortlisted for the Lu Award? Isn't that a big joke? If this list of nominees and awards gets out, I guess there will be a lot of noise in the circle! People will seriously question the fairness of the Lu Prize! ”

"I seriously doubt it. This Xiao Fei relied on bribes to bribe our judges, and some of our judges ignored organizational discipline and award regulations to select his works! ”

"I suggest that Xiao Fei's collection be removed!"

Zhang Mengyi shouted loudly and solemnly, as if he had become the embodiment of justice in an instant!

Zhang Meng has already calculated that if Xiao Fei's collection is removed, the collection of the related household he selected can just be postponed.

That's his biggest purpose.

"Resolutely oppose Zhang Meng's proposal! This is a typical conspiracy theory that people's high ranking is bribery. You mean, we're all corrupt people? Do you still want to overturn a boatload of people with a rod? ”

"Teacher Zhang Meng, I want to ask, have you read Xiao Fei's prose? Do you know how good Xiao Fei's book "The Sunshine Gets Old Those Old Times" has a good reputation in the critics? Do you know how many copies of this collection of essays have been sold? As soon as you open your mouth, you will completely deny Xiao Fei's work because he is too young. Don't you think you're making this judgment too arbitrary? ”

"Zhang Meng, we evaluate the quality of the work. It's not the author's seniority or age, Xiao Fei is young. But the work is tough enough, and his book "The Old Time When the Sun Shines Old" directly wins the Lu Award, which can only add luster to the Lu Award! ”

"You dare to say that it is a joke that Xiao Fei's work was shortlisted for the Lu Award. I think the portfolio you're nominating is more of a joke, isn't it? You can't be so shameless! ”

Zhang Meng's words can be regarded as a hornet's nest.

While he belittled Xiao Fei, he also hit the eight judges who recommended Xiao Fei, and it would be strange if these people didn't fight back.

"Okay, let's not talk about it, let's be quiet." Lin Yuanxin knocked on the table and said.

After shouting this several times, the voices in the conference room fell silent.

At this time, the last ten shortlisted works have been listed on the whiteboard.

"These ten works are voted by everyone, I have studied them carefully, I think, they can be regarded as excellent prose collections that emerged in the two years of 95 and 96, and these collections have also produced huge influence and good social repercussions in China, and it is completely feasible to select these ten works as nominated works for the prose award of the Lu Xun Literature Award! What do you think? Lin Yuanxin said.

Zhang Meng was choked by everyone just now, how dare he say anything strange at this time?

The other judges didn't say anything more.

The matter of nominees for the award is settled. Lin Yuanxin breathed a sigh of relief.

After the nomination works are selected, they will be publicized in the literary newspaper, and the publicity period will be two months, and after two months, they will begin to enter the formal award stage.

"Zelai, let me tell you the news, the "The Old Days of the Sunshine" by Xiao Fei that you recommended has been successfully shortlisted for the nomination award of the Lu Prize Prose Award."

Liu Zelai got the good news as soon as possible.

The good news was not told to him by one person, but by several judges who called him as soon as possible.

Some of the judges even gave a vivid account of what happened at the meeting where the nominees were chosen.

What the judges said made Liu Zelai very emotional.

He could never have imagined that the literary world had become so messy.

It's really as Xiao Fei said. If you don't do anything, just honestly wait for the awards. If you want to win an award, it's really hard to get a prize!

Liu Zelai hurriedly called Xiao Fei to report the good news.

"Xiao Fei. Your collection of essays, "The Sun Burns the Old Times," has been nominated for the Lu Prize. Liu Zelai told Xiao Fei on the phone in a rather uncalm tone.

At this time, Xiao Fei and Xu Fengjuan were walking on the shore of Weiming Lake.

At the end of November, it was already very cold, and it was late in the evening, and there was no one near the lake.

Receiving a call from Liu Zelai, Xiao Fei smiled, he tried his best to get this preliminary result.

It's not easy to get nominated from hundreds of candidates. If Liu Ze hadn't come to the judges Guan to say, Xiao Fei dared to say that it would be difficult for him to be shortlisted for this nomination award.

However, getting nominated is only the first step to success.

If he wants to win the award, he has to keep working hard.

Xiao Fei knew that in two months, the judges would conduct a final vote on the nominated works, and only by getting the votes of most of the eleven judges could they finally win the Lu Award.

This time, the nominated works will be selected. The 8 judges all voted for themselves for the sake of Hanmo's face, but when the final award voted, it is estimated that it is very unlikely that these judges will continue to take care of themselves.

Again, the pressure of the first Lu Prize Essay Award is too great. There are too many influential celebrities in China who are in dire need of this award.

Compared with them, Xiao Fei is just an insignificant little character.

"It's hard work, brother." Xiao Fei said with a smile.

"You're welcome, Xiao Fei. I think it's good to be nominated for the award this time. Your chances of winning the prize are unlikely. Liu Ze said.

"I know, though. Brother Zelai, I think we still have to fight for it. Xiao Fei said.

"How? Do you have any good ideas? I guess the judges will be reluctant to let them continue to vote for you in the final awards. ”

"We don't force them to continue to vote for me, what I think is that we can think of other ways to win public opinion by building momentum." Xiao Fei said with a smile.

"Oh? Need my help? Liu Zelai asked.

Hearing Xiao Fei say that he wanted to win the first opportunity in public opinion by building momentum, he knew that Xiao Fei was holding back some kind of ghost idea again.

"This matter is naturally inseparable from Brother Zelai's help, I estimate that after all the Lu Award nominations come out today, there will be a peak period of media reports in the next few days, let's make good use of this peak period, Brother Zelai, why don't you come to the capital tomorrow, let's discuss it." Xiao Fei didn't reveal much on the phone.

He knew that there was a great risk of leaking confidential things on the phone.

"Okay, I'll go over tomorrow, just in time, it's time to write a new volume of "Notes on Tomb Robbery." Liu Zelai promised to come down.

Hanging up the phone, Xiao Fei saw Xu Fengjuan looking at herself with a smile, she obviously heard the news that Liu Zelai said on the phone.

"Congratulations! Teacher Xiao, it's really enviable! I know that there are professors in our department who are judges of the Lu Prize, and the professor said that the Lu Award is of a very high standard, comparable to the Mao Award, and I didn't expect you to be nominated for the Lu Prize, doesn't this mean that if you go further, you will win the Lu Prize? Xu Fengjuan hugged Xiao Fei's arm very happily and said.

"I must win the Lu Award this time!" Xiao Fei said.

"When it comes to winning awards, who can say 'definitely', just do your best to obey the destiny of heaven, of course, if you can finally get the Lu Award, I will be proud of you." Xu Fengjuan said that her eyes were full of adoration when she looked at him.

……

As Xiao Fei expected, the first Lu Award attracted much media attention, and after the results of the nomination award came out, many major domestic media reported the news for the first time.

Even CCTV's news network mentioned it. Along with this news, the news that Xiao Fei was nominated for the Lu Award also aroused great interest from public opinion. (To be continued......)
