Chapter 255: Change
Thomson. Kede is a famous fantasy novelist of this shijie, who has devoted his life to portraying fantasy shijie, and this shijie's rice country has a very famous list that was not available on the earth in the previous life, called [his shijie].
Although there are no real trophies, bonuses, or even award ceremonies, this list is only released on the Global Daily every year, but [his shijie] is very valued by fantasy writers and readers.
[His shijie] as the name suggests,That is, the sci-fi shijie in the novel is scored,This list is voted by readers,The evaluation system is very complex,From the background of the novel design、History to the characters in the novel,There is even the integrity of the novel's finance,Anyway, the shijie of the novel is scored as the real shijie,A total of ten reviews are classified,Each point is full of ten points,Total score of 100 points。
Thomson. The Shijie that Kede constructed with two series of eleven books called "Alien Continent" has a maximum rating of eighty-six points. He is fifth in [his shijie] ranking, and fourth is only one point more than him, and it is over.
Kede's first stop was Beijing, and a press conference was held in Beijing, and such heavyweights came to China reporters naturally flocked to it, so the press conference could be described as rubbing shoulders.
"Mr. Code, may I ask if you are visiting China for tourism this time?" Questions from reporters.
"No, no, the main purpose of my trip is not tourism, although I would also like to see the mysterious China. But I came here for another purpose. "Kede naturally can't speak Chinese, so he is followed by a translator.
"Mr. Code, I heard that the first part of the "Outsider Series" is about to be released. In the ranking of [his shijie] is expected to move up one place, is it true? ”
"There are so many famous Western fantasy novelists in Shijie, and there are not a few exquisite Western fantasy shijie that have been constructed, and it is very good to be in the top five in [his Shijie] ranking, of course, it would be a wonderful thing if you could get one more." In this respect, Kode appears to be modest.
"Mr. Kode is not visiting China for tourism this time, so what is the main purpose?"
"Mitte. I have always bought the fantasy novels written by Chu, and the logical shijie view is very strong. Every day I have to take it out and look at it, as if I have to eat Mary's toast every breakfast, which is already a habit of life. "Mitt in the mouth of Kod. Chu is Chu Xing. Mitt is Chu Xing's English name.
"This time Mitte. Chu's lifetime achievement at the Hugo Award also confirms his talent in Western fantasy novels. ”
This news was intercepted by Chu Xing so the reporters didn t know about it now that Ke De mentioned this matter all the reporters looked at each other with that expression as if to say. How did we not know such a big news?
"I heard that Mitter. Chu used Western fantasy to call it a work of collecting mountains. The zuihou roof tile of the "Outsider Series" is also about to be completed, so I hope that I can work with Mit. Chu has a good exchange. ”
The four words of the mountain collection work are naturally not in the dictionary of the United States, so it is naturally impossible for Kede to say such a thing, but the translator next to him translates it like this, of course, the translator's translated words are mixed with some of his own understanding, which is a taboo in translation, but fortunately, the general meaning is still about the same.
This Thomson. Kede said so much, simply put, he wanted to take the zuihou of the "Outsider Series" to challenge Chu Xing's closing work.
That's big news. Ke De is a master-level figure in the United States, so it is naturally impossible to go to Huaxia to challenge Chu Xing for no reason. The main reason for this is that the Chuxing Hugo Award was provoked by the Lifetime Achievement Award.
This Lifetime Achievement Award is not like other awards that have nominations, but the media will list the favorites to win this award, and this year is the same, the media listed three favorites who may win the Lifetime Achievement Award, and among the three, he has the greatest chance, because the first, second, third, and fourth places in the top five of [his shijie] have all won this award.
Originally, it could be said that today's Lifetime Achievement Award was hand-in-hand, but this year's Hugo Award was awarded to Chu Xing because he didn't know what was crazy, and Chu Xing was not in the prediction of the media in the United States at all, this is the real big upset!
Kede said before that he had to read Chu Xing's novels every day, and he seemed to have a lot of respect for Chu Xing's fantasy novels, but in fact, everyone knew that it was just a scene, otherwise he would not have come all the way from the United States to China.
Kede's challenge is actually to defeat Chu Xing and tell the judges of the Hugo Award with practical actions that he should be the winner of this year's Lifetime Achievement Award.
"May I ask Mr. Kede, do you mean that you want to engage in a confrontation between China and the West with Master Chu Xing just now?" Well, this reporter is really good enough, and he directly raised the height to the cultural confrontation between countries, which is the real rhythm of being afraid that things will not make a big fuss.
"The word literary confrontation is a little provocative, and I am full of joy when I come to China this time. Chu pleasant exchange. Curd smiled angrily.
"May I ask Mr. Kede, do you know that Master Chu Xing is engaged in a literary confrontation with Su Shichen, the most talented person in his country?"
Although this duel was touted by the Chinese media as the biggest literary confrontation in the Chinese literary circle this century, in fact, this matter has a certain influence in Asia, and it has not made much waves in the United States at all, and it is normal for Kede not to know.
"Mr. Rafi, may I ask who Su Shichen is? Can be used with Mitte. Chu literature confrontation? Ke De asked the translator next to him in a low voice, the name Su Shichen was very unfamiliar to him, so he had to ask.
"Mr. Kede, Su Shichen is the most genius in our country, he debuted at the age of fourteen and wrote his first book, and then this book became a hit, and now he is the leader of the young generation in China." The translator whispered in Corde's ear, with a little pride as he said this.
A leading figure for the younger generation. This title is nothing to Ke De, in his opinion, the confrontation between Chu Xing and Su Shichen is just Chu Xing promoting his juniors, so he answered the reporter's question like this: "Western fantasy was originally written as a matter of Western mythology. Oriental people are not dominant in writing Western fantasy, and although SU is a very talented young man, he still has to go through precipitation in this regard to reach Mitte. Chu this level. ”
On the surface, it seems that Kede is praising Su Shichen, but in reality? That is to say, he is still too young now, and he will have to wait a few years to enter the house, and the deep meaning is that he was not considered at all in this Western fantasy novel duel with Chu Xing, which is probably what it means.
"Mr. Kode. Is there any new jihua after the completion of this outsider series zuihou? ”
"My father used to tell me when I was a kid that you have to concentrate on what you do in order to be 100% successful, so I spent my life's work constructing a shijie of my imagination. And the size of a shijie is also worth your life to construct, so after the end, I will at most write a biography or a perfect view of the outsider's mainland shijie. With Kede's answer, this interview in the capital officially ended.
Although the press conference was over, the aftermath was quite large. Originally, the confrontation between Chu Xing and Su Shichen could be said to have touched the hearts of countless people. Now that the internationally famous Kode is involved again, hasn't this news exploded yet?
Chu Xing
Thomson. Kod
Su Shichen
For the reporter who talked to Huaxia, any of these three names can quickly hold up a headline, and now it's about these three people, which is definitely a breaking point!!
Hence the sensational reports that came out one after another.
"Confrontation Escalation! The Collision of Chinese Civilization and Western Civilization", Thomson. Kod joins the fray! "Kede said: Su Shichen's pen power is still shallow, and he still needs to practice for a few years", "The most genius is despised"......
Well, now this confrontation is not only popular all over Asia, but even Western countries have begun to report the news.
"Thomson. What is the origin of Kod. ”
I woke up early this morning and turned on the TV. The live news on TV is all about this news, and this matter is also related to him. Find information about Kode on the Internet.
"Thirty years to create an Outsider series with eleven books, the cumulative sales of fantasy novels in the United States ranked ninth, [his shijie] ranked fourth, the executive vice chairman of the Fantasy Fiction Writers Association of the United States, ranked sixty-seventh in the twenty-one Shijie Greatest 100 Writers by the New York Times of the United States, and won the Hugo Award for Best Novel ...... twice"
This one by one title, Thomson. Kede can be called a Shijie-level writer, not to mention him, even Chu Xing is a little unsightly compared to Kede, of course, although Chu Xing won the Hugo Award Lifetime Achievement Award, although it is unpopular, Su Shichen thinks that Chu Xing is fully qualified.
Of course this is not the most important thing, the most important thing is what he should do now, Ke De said very obviously in the interview that he was communicating with the final part of the Outsider series, so even if Chu Xing didn't want to, he probably had to agree.
And the media has already played the collision between Chinese fantasy novels and Western fantasy novels, which is not just a personal confrontation, and I really have to agree.
Playing against Chu Xing can be said to be walking on thin ice, and now add a Shijie-level writer Thomson. Kod, this is the rhythm that is going to drive him crazy!!
"No, not at all this time." Su Shichen passed the Harry Potter series, and he was not sure of winning Chu Xing with the Harry Potter series, and he was even more uncertain with another Kede, especially Kede is good at constructing big scenes, and the Harry Potter classic is a classic, but the pattern is too small.
For this Thomson. Kede Su Shichen didn't have a good impression, Kede said in the interview that he had a kind of current qualifications that he couldn't write Western fantasy novels, although it made sense, but this kind of contempt for Chiguoguo made Su Shichen a little unbearable.
You said that if I can't write well, I'm going to make a classic, and Su Shichen's paranoid character is guilty again.
Although he was paranoid again, he did not forget the ancestor's sentence that he knew that the other side could not be defeated in a hundred battles, and bought the electronic version of the "Outsider Series" on the Internet.
"I'll take a look at what's so exciting about the Outsider series that I've spent a lifetime constructing." (To be continued......)
