Chapter 345: The Work of the Gods

Lin Zixuan made this decision after careful consideration.

The Nobel Prize in Literature has never been fair, and although it has a great influence in the world, it is chosen by a group of academicians of the Swedish Academy of Letters.

That is, this award is in the hands of a small group of people.

They are judged not only on writing talent, but also on many other factors.

personal preferences, prejudices against authors from countries outside Europe, and political factors, among others.

Lin Zixuan was too young, and it was not yet time to win the award, even if he was shortlisted, he would only accompany him, so he simply refused.

It will not be difficult for him to be nominated, and he believes that after next year, he will definitely make a name for himself in the world literary scene.

Once the novel "1984" is published in Western society, it will be praised or criticized to make him a focal point.

When the time comes, those in the Nobel Committee will not turn a blind eye to him.

Controversial fiction is often a shortcut to a writer's rise to fame.

For example, the British writer Lawrence's "Sons and Lovers" and the Soviet writer Nabokov's "Lolita" and so on.

"1984" is one such novel, which has been controversial since its publication.

For Lin Zixuan, this may be a good thing, which can make him truly famous, and become an internationally renowned figure like Romain Rolland in France and Gorky in the Soviet Union.

As the saying goes, if someone slanders, someone will be enthusiastic.

In the West, there must be someone who put Lin Zixuan on the altar because of this novel.

"Lord of the Flies" gave him a place in the Western literary world, and "1984" is a masterpiece.

Of course, the canonization of gods is just the beginning. If he wants his godhead to be solid, he needs to continue to write more classics.

This is for Lin Zixuan. It's not that difficult, so he's not very interested in the news that Sven Hedin revealed.

Lin Zixuan sent a telegram to Beiping. He affirmed his position that the interests of the country must not be sacrificed for the sake of a nomination.

In order to avoid suspicion, even if Sven Heding said his name, he would refuse.

When the Shanghai historian received the telegram, he couldn't help but be in awe.

This is the Nobel Prize in Literature, so I just gave it up, even if I can't win it, it's good to have a nomination.

He was in Beiping, in the middle of a whirlpool. I know very well how much the news revealed by Sven Heding has shocked the cultural circles of Beiping, and everyone is talking about it.

Everyone has their own thoughts.

Among them, Liang Qichao has the highest voice, he is a leader of traditional Chinese culture, and no one can match him in terms of knowledge and qualifications.

He has accepted many disciples over the years, made countless friends, and has deep connections in the Chinese literary circle, so naturally there are people who build momentum for him, and even many people in the Crescent Society admire him.

Hu Shi is not in the country. Not many people mentioned him.

Liu Bannong is inclined to Lu Xun, but Lu Xun is in Xiamen, and the matter has not yet been decided.

There are also people who support Lin Zixuan, but the number is very small. This is Beiping, not Lin Zixuan's home field.

The last time Lin Zixuan returned from abroad, the newspapers were reporting when he won the Nobel Prize in Literature. As if everyone was expecting it, actually. That's just a newspaper for the sake of sales, and it can't be taken seriously.

That's the opinion of the media. Not the opinion of the cultural community.

Now that I really have this opportunity, I began to think about it.

This is the Nobel Prize in Literature, and even a nomination is a great honor.

The disturbances in Beiping had little impact on Lin Zixuan, and he did not intend to interfere with the actions of others.

It's just that if someone dares to do something detrimental to the interests of the country in the negotiations with the Swedish delegation, he will not turn a blind eye.

Hong Shen has returned to Shanghai from Guangdong, and Lin Zixuan has put his mind on the movie "Jiawu Fengyun".

Hong Shen was very shrewd, and in order to complete the film, he pulled a group of extras under the banner of shooting a Northern Expedition war movie when he was in Guangzhou, and these actors didn't know what to shoot at all.

Hong Shen told them that they were filming a scene where a warlord was killing.

Only the students he brought over from the Fudan University Drama Club, who played the role of Japanese soldiers, knew the inside story.

That color shot made Hong Shen think hard, and the color film was bought, but he couldn't shoot the desired effect.

He ended up painting the houses and streets in the scene in black and white, the actors wore black and white clothes, and everything in the shot was black and white.

When the little girl in the red dress walked by, it looked very weird, as if it was a horror movie.

Lin Zixuan was taken aback when he saw it for the first time.

It would be more natural if there was computer software to do post-processing, which is the only way to do it in this era.

Everything is going on in secret.

The final editing was done by Dan Du Yu, who is an all-rounder in the film industry.

The film was cut out in two versions, an abridged version that fooled the Japanese, and a version that was actually screened.

Lin Zixuan made five copies, one of which was sent to the United States before the film was released, and the other was sold to Nanyang studios, who often worked with him, and the rest of the film was left for screening in Shanghai.

This was to prevent the film from being banned by the concession authorities.

Lin Zixuan announced that the film was completed, and invited the news media to participate in the preview screening of the film in order to promote the film.

He knew that the Japanese had never given up spying on intelligence and wanted to see the film come into play, and this was just an opportunity.

At the test screening, the president of the Japanese Oriental News Agency, Hatahiro, who was a student of Kotaro Munakata, came in person.

In 1923, Kotaro Munakata passed away, and Hatobo took over as president of the Oriental News Agency.

For example, Yu Daxiong of "Shenzhou Daily" once studied in Japan and ran a newspaper, but later became a traitor.

Lin Zixuan's version shown to the news media was an abridged version, and although it promoted patriotism, it was just right and did not prick the nerves of the Japanese, which made Hatobo quite satisfied.

After watching the movie, Hatobo couldn't help but feel relieved.

Whether it is quality or publicity, this movie of Star Film Company cannot be compared to their "Sino-Japanese Naval Battle".

The so-called Chinese blockbuster is just a joke, and this time, Lin Zixuan will be a failure.

Even so, he protested against many plots in the movie, thinking that he was scandalizing the Japanese Navy and asking Lin Zixuan to make changes.

In order to dispel the doubts of the Japanese, Lin Zixuan fought hard and did not back down, fully demonstrating the self-cultivation of an actor.

Bo Duobo left angrily, threatening to give Lin Zixuan a good look.

Both of them are just talking casually.

On December 31, 1926, "The First Sino-Japanese Storm" will premiere at the Summer Peck Grand Cinema in the French Concession.

On the same day, the Japanese chose to screen "The Sino-Japanese Naval Battle," which will premiere at the Carlton Grand Theater on Pike Road, a public concession.

When the premiere dates of the two films were published in the Declaration, it aroused a strong curiosity among readers.

These two films have similar storylines, huge investments, and are both known as Chinese blockbusters, and they premiered at the same time on the same day. (To be continued.) )
