Chapter 138: The Mentality Collapsed
Before the results of the "Magic Capital Popular Award" came out, Xu Tianxiao, the creator of "Love Lost in the Demon Capital", "Xu Saburo", was playing mahjong with a group of mahjong friends in the popular author circle.
In this era without the Internet, it may be that for these full-time authors, playing mahjong is the most relaxing entertainment, of course, even in the Internet era, mahjong has not declined, it is still a very interesting entertainment activity, and it can also enhance the feelings between friends.
In addition to writing, Xu Tianxiao can be said to love playing mahjong, and he also publicly said that playing mahjong can promote his writing inspiration, and he has a lot of plots, all of which he came up with when playing mahjong.
At this time, when he was playing mahjong, he was a little uncertain, mainly because he knew that today was the day when the results of the "Magic City Popular Award" came out, although the signing company behind him had assured him that "Love Lost in the Demon Capital" could definitely win the gold award, and "The Beauty of the Country" was definitely not his opponent, but he still felt that he was not at ease enough.
After all, when he was interviewed by the popular media before, he released all kinds of wild words, creating the image of a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers, which greatly increased his own fame, which is actually stained with the light of Chang Hate Song, one of the four talented women in the magic capital, if his opponent is not such a talented female writer, then he will definitely not be as concerned as he is now.
In fact, his own personality is not very crazy, but he really wants to write a red book and completely change his fate, he is just from a family of small intellectuals, and his family basically can't help anything, if he can't make money by writing books to become famous, then he may not even be able to marry a wife.
That's right, he still wants to marry a local woman in the Demon Capital as his wife, and if he wants to marry a local woman in the Demon Capital, he must work hard and use all his hands to win a position.
His mahjong friends were all unsettled when they saw Xu Tianxiao playing mahjong, so they couldn't help but comfort: "San Lang, you don't have to worry about this big award at all, didn't the company behind you use all its resources to support you, I also read your works, but they are much better than those talented women, so you don't have to worry about it at all!" ”
"Yes, to be honest, what are the four talented women of the Demon Capital, I don't think it's a big deal anyway, it's purely because of the rise of the New Culture Movement that they were blown out, otherwise in the past, what achievements could women have in creation?"
"San Lang's work is really good-looking.,I saw the latest serialized part in one breath before.,I feel like the whole demon is written alive.,The female characters in it are more seductive than one another.,This book is not popular.,Heaven is intolerable!"
Xu Tianxiao heard the comfort of the three friends, and his heart also settled down a little, but he smiled and said modestly: "I have also made a lot of preparations for this one, and I actually feel that there are still many flaws in writing it like this, but it does increase a lot of sales for the magazine serialized on it, which may be the reason why the editors decided to push me." ”
Xu Tianxiao was modest, and couldn't help but talk about his creative process, he said: "I don't know if you have seen a work called "Love and Sex", in fact, this one gave me a lot of inspiration, but unfortunately it is impossible for me to write this book, but I think it is very easy to write a popular version of such a work, and then it will definitely be popular." ”
When the three Mayou heard "Love and Sex", they couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, in fact, they are all insiders, how could they not have heard of such a philosophy that brushes the forced grid to the full, and has become a divine book in the hearts of many young people and petty bourgeoisie.
A friend said: "Now this "Love and Sex" has been renamed "The Unbearable Lightness of Life", it has long been no longer part of our popular circle, but more and more recognized by the pure literary circle, although the sales have not exploded, but such a work, can be eaten for a lifetime, this is the benefit of writing a famous book, and I don't know where the 'Ms. Yiren' is sacred, such a work should also be taken to brush a few awards in publication, then its influence will be greater! ”
Xu Tianxiao is naturally very envious of the creator who can write a work like "The Unbearable Lightness of Life", after all, a work like "Love and Demon" he wrote can only be a smash hit at most, and after this while, it may not be able to maintain the heat, it is really not high-style, and the reader will be finished when he reads it.
He really hopes that one day he can write this kind of work that can have both sales and more compelling qualifications, but it is really not easy to enter the pure literary circle with greater discourse power from the popular circle.
Just as Xu Tianxiao was about to say something, his editor in charge came to his home in a hurry.
As soon as he saw the face of the editor-in-charge, Xu Tianxiao sighed in his heart, he already felt that it was not good, where did he still have any thoughts about rubbing hemp, but asked worriedly: "Has my work won the gold award?" ”
The editor in charge sighed, just shook his head helplessly, and said: "Your work won the silver award, which can be regarded as meeting expectations." ”
Xu Tianxiao was originally milked by the mah friends and felt that he must have won the gold award this time, but now when he heard that he actually won the silver award, his mentality suddenly collapsed a little, and he couldn't help but be indignant: "Isn't it just a little less qualified, and I lack fame compared to that one, but I think that "The Beauty of the Country" ......"
Before Xu Tianxiao's indignant words were finished, his editor-in-charge interrupted: ""The Beauty of the Country" is also a silver award. ”
As soon as these words came out, the house suddenly exploded!
""Love Lost in the Demon City" and "The Beauty of the Country" are both silver awards?! So who exactly is the Gold Award? ”
"It's impossible, San Lang and Chang Hage actually won the Silver Award......"
"Wow, isn't there a shady scene in this year's awards, how can the gold award not be another work!"
……
Xu Tianxiao's original indignant mentality, after hearing that "The Beauty of the Country" was actually only a silver award, seemed to have changed a little better, he must admit that because of the continuous hype in the media, he had a sense of victory and defeat in Chang Hate Song, and he really didn't want to lose to this female streamer.
Xu Tianxiao took a deep breath and asked calmly, "Who is the winner of the Gold Award this time?" ”
"The debut novel of a newcomer named 'Mo Yi' is called "The Dragon's Head", which seems to have been released by the Commercial Press and has been completed."
When Xu Tian heard this, his originally calm state of mind suddenly exploded completely, and he said angrily: "New people and new works? How can this award be such a child's play! ”
