Chapter 142: Shady Incident of Awards!
Before the sales of "The Dragon's Head", "Love and Magic City", and "The Beauty of the Country" came out, the predictions of insiders for the sales of the three works in the first week can be said to be very consistent.
Even if "Dragon Head" unexpectedly won the gold medal of the "Magic Capital Popular Awards", in the eyes of many insiders, there is definitely a shady scene in this, so the next sales data will definitely slap this award committee in the face.
Many insiders who have never seen it, or have only heard that the ending of "The Dragon's Head" is very abusive, think that the first-week sales of "Love and Demons" must be the highest, followed by of course "The Beauty of the Country", as for "The Dragon's Head", it dares to print 50,000 copies for the first time, and there are 5,000 hardcover copies, which will definitely become a joke!
Then again, such a number of first prints also proves from the side that the background of this newcomer author with the pen name "Mo Xian" is definitely not simple, looking at those real pure newcomer authors over the years, which can have such a high number of first prints of their debut works? There is actually a hardcover version, which is clearly the treatment of famous writers! Is this "ink thought" a certain leader at the top level of the Commercial Press testing the waters to write a book?
Xu Tianxiao, the author of "Love Lost in the Demon Capital", before the sales came out, the most remarks he heard were like this-
"San Lang don't worry, this time the shady scene of the Demon Capital Popular Awards is too serious, and when the real sales come out, the honor you were taken away from before will definitely come back to you!"
"Even if "Dragon's Head" relies on special means to get to the top, its sales will definitely not be better than "Love and Demons", I believe in my own vision!"
"Mo Xian's background as a rookie author is even bigger than he imagined, and he actually won the 'Zhang Yuanji New Writer Award', this award is generally given to famous writers who use new pen names, and it is only known as the newcomer award with the highest gold content, but having a background does not mean that there is strength, in terms of sales, his works are definitely not as good as yours!"
"I directly read the ending part of "The Dragon's Head", which is simply to make the reader masochistic, for the reader's pastime and happy popularity, how can it be written like this? Its sales are sure to hit the streets! There was also a first printing of 55,000 copies, and I don't think I can even sell 5,000 copies! ”
……
The more Xu Tianxiao listened to such remarks, the more inflated he became, and he couldn't even hold back the media's doubts about the fairness and authority of this "Magic Capital Popular Award", he didn't watch "Dragon Head", he really felt that he had encountered a shady scene!
His public remarks shook the entire popular circle at once, and even the huge literary circle of the magic capital began to pay attention to this so-called shady incident of awards.
Although the mainstream literary world with a high style is not very welcome to the popular circle, thinking that the popularity they write belongs to the garbage of words, which pleases readers with words, what a cheap thing!
However, in the mainstream literary world, there are many literati with a sense of justice, who may not be so good at creating excellent works, but they are very keen on provoking public opinion and engaging in pen wars, because this is how they show their sense of existence.
Like Liu Xianran, who is also one of the four talented women in the magic capital, is such a literati, in later generations, she is probably the kind of female literati who likes to comment on current affairs on Weibo and stir up the wind and rain, and now she has evolved into a feminist and is keen to promote pastoral feminism.
Not to mention, Liu Xianran, who promotes pastoral women's rights, has quickly accumulated a group of very die-hard female fans, who are very eager to liberate themselves and enjoy all the rights they should enjoy as women, as for the obligations that women have to fulfill, they are scoffing, whoever makes them fulfill their obligations is discriminatory against women!
Of course, Liu Xianran also paid attention to this so-called shady incident of the award this time, and then she also found out that Chang Hatege, who was also one of the four talented women, was actually hacked, which immediately made her energetic.
Liu Xianran didn't figure out the truth of the matter, so she directly supported Chang Haege, who is also a female writer, and spoke directly in the media, she said that Chang Haege's works are the best, and this time her work only won the silver award, which is clearly the award committee discriminating against women!
Liu Xianran now likes her identity as a "feminist fighter" more and more, just because this identity makes it very easy for her to speak out about the "injustice" of women, as for how to determine whether women have suffered injustice, of course, it all depends on her subjective judgment.
It is ironic that Liu Xianran looked down on Chang Haoge, one of the four talented women, in private, and always felt that the other party, who wrote the Mandarin Duck and Butterfly faction, was not worthy of being as famous as her Liu Xianran......
But now, in order to show her sense of existence, Liu Xianran actually stood firmly on the side of Chang Hate Song, and she also insisted that this "Magic Capital Popular Award" was discriminating against women!
Liu Xianran also came up with key evidence, she went to investigate the gender of each gold medal winner since the establishment of the "Magic Capital Popular Awards", and finally found a fact that made her very angry!
That is, the authors who won the Modu Popular Grand Prix, are actually all men, what is this not discrimination against women?
Liu Xianran's voice once again completely escalated the influence of this shady event of the awards!
So much so that the entire award committee was under great pressure, but this pressure did not last long, and it was completely dispelled by the fermentation of the reputation of the work "Dragon Head" and the explosion of sales!
It's just because, no one thought that the sales of the work "Dragon Head" would be so terrifying!
What the entire popular circle did not expect was that because of the fermentation of the so-called shady incident of the awards, the mainstream literary world also paid attention to the work "Dragon's Head", and some literati who were idle and had nothing to do naturally went to read it.
It doesn't matter if you don't look at it, you are completely fascinated by it, many literary people who don't look down on popular people on weekdays, after spending time watching "The Dragon's Head", were surprised to find that this "Dragon's Head" is actually quite an artistic popularity, and its idea is much higher than the general popularity!
As a result, after watching "The Dragon's Head", many male literati who were quickly fans began to speak out for "The Dragon's Head", and categorically believed that there was absolutely no problem with this work being able to win the gold medal of the "Magic Capital Popular Award"!
As for the reason, let them be a professional interpreter to give the public guidance.
