Su Wen finally decided to go to the literary salon of "Poetry Night".

In the past two or three days, he has been thinking about it, but the three people in the dormitory are so angry that they are going crazy, saying that he is too hypocritical, and he has to be reserved instead of others who can't ask for things, which is really annoying.

When he mentioned such a thing to Fang Chengshi on the phone, President Fang Da also said angrily that Su Wen didn't know what to do, and he didn't go to the salon where there were sea fingers and islands as guests, what kind of arrogant attitude was this!

After the reprimand, President Fang Da said earnestly that this was an opportunity for Su Wen, Hai Zhi and the two had a high reputation in the literary world, and they were also the presidents of the Poetry Society, controlling the right to speak in this Chinese poetry circle.

If you can get acquainted with them and gain their favor, maybe he will have a great harvest in Su Wen's poetry collection "If Life Is Only as First Seen".

What's the catch?

Awards!

In addition to the supreme Royal Literary Award, the Chinese Empire also has various national-level literary awards, such as the Chinese Writers Award sponsored by the Imperial Writers' Association, which is second only to the Royal Literary Award and is the coveted award of various writers.

The Royal Prize for Literature is a world-class honour that can quickly make a name for itself around the world, at least for a short time in Asia.

As for the winner of the Writer's Award, even if he can't achieve a worldwide honor, in the Chinese Empire, it is also a very high honor, after all, it is an existence that attracts the attention of two billion people.

If you win the Writer's Award and get official recognition, then your work can enter the hearts of thousands of households.

The Writers' Prize is held annually for only a few decades, but hundreds of winners have been born in one family – a number that is, of course, inconspicuous compared to the millions of writers in the Empire.

The Writer's Award is a literary award in the true sense of the word, and only rewards writers who create literary works. Each year, it is not just one person who wins the award, but a whole group of projects in various literary genres.

There are categories for the best novels of the year, essays, poems, plays, correspondence, reportage, and so on, with only one winner in each category.

Take novels, for example, and there are also categories of short stories and long stories!

That is, the winner of the Writer's Award, if broken down. There are more than a dozen of them every year, representing the best level in various fields.

The criteria for the competition are also very general, except for the previous works in the first few years of the competition, after entering the right track, the works that have been published and distributed in the current year have been required to be eligible for the selection for decades.

In addition, in addition to special genres such as novels, plays, and reportage, the Imperial Writers' Association also stipulated that short stories, essays, and poems must be published in collections, and that they could not be selected on the basis of just one or two articles, which is said to reflect the comprehensive strength of writers. And not a momentary inspiration.

The Writers' Prize is awarded annually in January, and the jury votes for the winner of the best work, taking into account the sales and quality of the work, as well as the impact of the work.

According to the regulations, Su Wen's poetry collection "If Life Is Only as First Seen" and the plays "Romeo and Juliet" and "A Doll's House" are eligible to participate in the election.

Fang Chengshi won't say much about the latter two, it is a matter of operating the company, he only thinks about his publishing house, so he will actively promote the Dongguang Provincial Writers Association to recommend this poetry collection to the Imperial Writers Association to participate in the selection of this writer's award.

Referrals are just a barrier to entry. If you want to win the award, it depends on the preferences of the major judges.

The sea finger and the island are the famous poets of the empire. In particular, Hai Zhi has been working for 30 years, and his reputation and prestige in the poetry world are second only to that of the Venerable Master Donglian. In the era when the Venerable Master of Donglian was getting old and gradually retreating, the sea finger was the label of the poetry world. In addition, he is not only the vice president of the Imperial Writers Association, but also the president of the Chinese Poetry Society, these two identities must have a great influence on the selection of the Writers' Award.

Fang Chengshi felt that Su Wen's poetry collection had the conditions to win the award. Both the sales volume and the readability of the work are excellent masterpieces in recent years.

However, a masterpiece is not blown out by one person, it also needs the affirmation of awards.

Well, in his opinion. Making friends with Hai Zhi and others in advance is the most important thing Su Wen should do.

"If you win their favor and really win the Huaxia Writers Award, it will definitely be of great benefit to the Spring and Autumn Publishing House, which published "Life Is Only as First Seen"! This is a great opportunity for the development and growth of our publishing house! Su Wen, you must take advantage of it! ”

Fang Chengshi was afraid that Su Wen would not realize the importance of this matter, and repeatedly emphasized that Su Wen must have a relationship with Haizhi and others in this literary salon.

Whether it's realistic or utilitarian, this society is like this, you can only achieve greater success if you are willing to work hard to drill the camp!

Su Wen was moved by what he said, and planned to go to the literary salon of this "Poetry Night".

In addition to the utilitarian purpose, it is also a little interested. In my previous life, when I went to college, although there were various literary clubs, they were more for fun, and there was not much pure heart for literature, especially this special literary salon, which was a long time ago.

Now that it's really happened, it's false to say that I'm not curious.

On the day of the "Poetry Night" salon, around half past seven in the evening, night slowly fell, and the street lights on the campus were lit up one by one.

The early autumn has not yet arrived, the weather is still very hot, and the cool breeze at night slowly blows away some of the heat.

Before leaving for the school cafeteria, Su Wen cleaned up and tidied up for himself: he washed his face, combed his hair, and straightened his collar, and was satisfied after seeing that there was nothing wrong with his body.

Although this poetry salon is known as very grand, Su Wen is not willing to wear more formal clothes on top of the attire, with a white T-shirt on the top, a pair of light slacks underneath, and a pair of sandals on his feet.

Anyway, this is already the effect of his tidying, otherwise, he wouldn't have dragged a pair of flip-flops and set off.

Seeing that Su Wen was about to go out, Liu Hua ran over, stuffed a notebook into Su Wen's body, and explained solemnly: "Su Wen, you must help me get the signature of Teacher Haizhi, just sign this book." Don't forget! ”

Su Wen smiled bitterly and agreed.

Seeing this, Ma Junwu and Li Ge came up one after another, and also shouted for what I wanted.

Su Wen could only agree, saying that there would be signatures. He had already made up his mind, and this time the poetry salon was asking for autographs. Talk to Haizhi and others, and make friends with them.

If the other party does not agree and the friendship fails, then everything is left alone, as for the signature...... Well, in order not to disappoint the roommates. At that time, he reluctantly helped sign a name, anyway, they didn't know what Haizhi's signature looked like, just deal with it.

If Liu Hua and the others knew that Su Wen had such thoughts, maybe they would be able to correct him on the spot now, so that he would not be able to participate in the poetry salon of Lao Zi.

Getting rid of the entanglement of the three of them and seeing that the time was almost up, Su Wen hurriedly walked out of the dormitory and went to the cafeteria.

The cafeteria of Huaxia College of Literature is located on the west side of the campus and occupies a large area. There are only two floors, but it can accommodate 3,000 people at the same time.

During the day, it is a paradise for school meals, and after cleaning up at night, the school's major clubs can organize various activities.

Dress up a little and move the dining table and chairs aside to make room for all you want to do, let alone a literary salon.

From Suwen's dormitory to the cafeteria. It was only six or seven minutes to walk, and he walked slowly. While thinking about how to make friends with the sea finger.

In the past two days, he has done his homework and looked up a lot of information about the sea finger on the Internet.

I have to say that this guy is a fierce man, he is less than fifty years old, and he has published more than fifty poetry collections! He started writing poems when he was a teenager and has been publishing nearly two books a year.

It is said that when you are younger, you are more bullish. It is claimed that at least one poem is written a day, and the highest record of publishing a poetry collection is four books a year, an average of one per quarter, and the poems in it are all new poems, without repetition!

Such a prolific poet. As long as the poems written are above the standard, they can cause a great sensation, and if a poetry collection can produce one or two poems that can be disseminated, it can bring him great fame.

Su Wen deliberately went to the library to find two poetry books by Haizhi and looked through them, these poems are above the standard, and his style is also obvious, that is, romanticism surrounds his life.

Reading his poems makes people feel like reading "Zhuangzi", and they have an indifferent feeling for all kinds of things in the world, just seeking to be free. This style of writing poetry is very popular.

After 20 years of pen cultivation, the high-yield sea finger has become the banner of the poetry world, and is known as the successor of the Venerable Donglian. Even if poetry has declined in the past decade, his works still have a lot of appeal, and they can easily sell millions of copies.

It is difficult for such a bull to become a giant in the poetry world, with him as the center, Haidao and others sang harmony with him, forming a genre of poetry - the neo-romantic poetry school.

The neo-romantic poetry school is the most influential new poetry school in recent years, with great prestige, and as the sea finger of the person who bears the crown, it has naturally gained the highest status.

Su Wen made up for these homework, hoping to use it when he met with Haizhi.

"Knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent, invincible in a hundred battles, if you want to benefit from others, you must at least do what they like......" Su Wen thought so, and as soon as he looked up, the cafeteria arrived.

At the gate on the first floor of the cafeteria, even though it was night, there were still people coming in and out, all of whom came to participate in the poetry salon. At the gate, people stand on both sides to check the invitations of those who enter.

Those who did not have invitations were kept out, and the students, who wanted to come and see what was going on out of curiosity, gathered in one place, grumbling and very dissatisfied.

But they have no choice, the poetry association held a salon this time, has reported to the relevant departments of the school, and obtained consent, this night, the canteen land will be used by them, as long as they don't make trouble, how to use and deal with them will not care.

Su Wen took out the invitation letter and handed it to the person who checked it.

The inspector looked at the content on it, first nodded, but found that Su Wen's name was very familiar, stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but look up at Su Wen.

When he hesitated, Su Wen asked him if he could go in, and this person promised that he should be.

When Su Wen walked into the cafeteria, he found that there were already many people inside, and it was estimated that there were nearly three hundred people.

The dining room was large, and the dining table had been moved to one side, leaving a wide room, where a small raised platform had been built out of planks, and on top of it was a table with a microphone, presumably for the speaker.

At the height of the dining room, several banners were pulled, most of which were tribute to poetry, and in the center was the banner of the "Poetry Night" literary salon, which was very conspicuous, and a few students took pictures of these banners, presumably for propaganda purposes.

On the other side, there are many tables and chairs for the salon attendees, and the students sit together in twos and threes, some talking, some silent, and some muttering something. The scene was noisy.

Su Wen suddenly found that he didn't know how to deal with it - he didn't have any acquaintances at the scene, so he could only stand alone on the periphery, unable to say a word.

Looking at the scene, there are young people walking around the scene, and some are older, Rao has seen the photos of the sea finger, but he still can't recognize which one is the great poet sea finger.

When Su Wen was hesitating, a crisp voice sounded in his ears: "Yo, why is Su Dacai standing here so lonely and watching the excitement?" Aren't you going to mingle with the folks of the Poetry Society? ”

The voice was very familiar, Su Wen looked back, and the image of a beautiful woman came into view - it was Tang Yan who had met two or three times.

Tang Yan, the president of the drama club!

At this time, President Tang Da, although he had a smiling and smiling expression, his tone was full of irony.

Before Su Wen could speak, Tang Yan sneered again and said, "Why, how could Su Dacai join the Poetry Association and get the qualification to participate in the poetry salon so quickly?" ”

Gotcha, listen to that tone, it's sour than vinegar!

Su Wen could hear it, this woman was sarcastically saying that he didn't accept her invitation, thinking that he had joined the Poetry Association and was jealous!

With a smile, Su Wen asked rhetorically: "President Tang seems to be from the Drama Club, how can you also come to participate in the poetry salon?" ”

Tang Yan glared at him: "Who said that the drama club can't participate in poetry activities?" ”

Su Wen shrugged: "Then who said that you have to join the Poetry Association to participate in the Poetry Salon?" ”

Tang Yan was stunned, then her eyes lit up, and she asked urgently: "You haven't joined the Poetry Association yet?" ”

"Is there a difference?"

What a difference! Tang Yan was overjoyed, saying that the school stipulated that a student could only participate in two student clubs at most, and those who exceeded two would be invalidated.

In Tang Yan's view, Su Wen is a student majoring in novel writing, and he is interested in novels, so joining the Novel Association is also the right thing to do. Then, Su Wen's other choice is to be considered.

Su Wen is the strongest newcomer, if the drama club can win him in, it will be of great benefit to the reputation of the drama club, which is also Tang Yan took the initiative to find Su Wen and recruit this talent when the club has not recruited new people.

It's a pity that Su Wen didn't eat salt and oil, and he didn't let go of his mouth when he was killed, which made Tang Da Beauty not angry.

"Gotta take this guy down tonight! Pull him into the playwrights club no matter what! President Tang set a goal for himself and encouraged himself deeply.

Just when Su Wen was thinking about how to get rid of Tang Yan's entanglement, a group of people walked in from outside the gate, causing a sensation.

"Mr. Haizhi, they are here so soon?" Su Wen's ears were tipped, and he heard Tang Yan muttering in surprise. (To be continued......)
