Chapter 40: The Writers' Jury

It's a great feast for writers, and once a year, countless writers flock from all over the country, and it's a great thing to see, if not to win an award. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Sitting in the carriage and watching the scenery pass by on both sides, Maier found that his mood still fluctuated slightly.

Before, Maier thought that he would not feel much about this kind of convention, after all, Meier's main focus was on the path of magic, and the novels published in Loren Anderson were almost always copied from the originals.

But when it comes time to set off for the royal city, Maier finds that he is not as calm as he imagined.

"How's it going, Mel? I'm going to win the jackpot soon, what do you want to say?" Wren seemed more excited than Mel had come.

Maier smiled slightly, shook his head, and said: "There are so many excellent authors in the country, and there are countless excellent works, and the awards are limited, and it is still unknown whether they can win the award." ”

"Master Loren has said that you have a good chance of winning the prize. Wren retorted.

Maier said: "It is very likely, but it does not mean that it is certain. ”

Wren shrugged helplessly, the excitement on his face suddenly decreased by half, and said, "Meier, has anyone told you that you are very good at cold games? ”

Maier smiled and didn't speak, he had memories of his past life, of course, he couldn't be like a real sixteen-year-old boy, and his temperament always had to be calmer.

Coming to the Duchy, it was the first time that Mair had entered the royal city, and the style of this country seemed to be tougher than the one where Maier was before.

The architecture of the entire royal city is imbued with a domineering and proud style, as if to proclaim to the whole world that they have a strong army and cannot be violated.

The hotel to be stayed in was booked in advance, thanks to the light of Master Loren, and a nice room was booked, with good air circulation and plenty of sunshine, and from the balcony you could see the face of the whole street.

The building where the Writers' Jury Prize will be held is also within sight.

It is a huge circular building with a huge area and three floors, while the Writers' Jury Award is being held on the third floor, and the entire hall is said to be able to accommodate thousands of people.

It is naturally incomparable with the previous life, after all, there is no huge electronic screen, and if you sit too far back, you are afraid that you can't even hear the sound.

Elle arrived at the inn with a little maid, accompanied by another aristocratic young man, with broken blond hair, who looked impeccable, but looked a little too weak.

The aristocratic boy took the initiative to greet Maier.

"You're Master Grande, it's amazing, it's amazing to be able to write such a good novel at this age. ”

Maier said modestly: "It's just some ordinary stories, and there are many more people who are better than me." After speaking, he immediately looked at Ellie, who was standing on the side.

Elle explained: "This is Kaka Sivir, the only son of the Earl of Sivir, who is also here for the writers' jury, and has also published a novel in Loren Anderson. ”

Kaka's face turned slightly red, and he said, "It's just a short story, it's far from Master Grande." ”

Mel has a good impression of this guy, except that his personality may be a little introverted, as a nobleman, especially the only son of an earl, but there is no arrogance, which is rare.

"My name is Mel Green, you can call me Mel. ”

"Yes, Master Grande. ”

Maier: "......".

Wren seemed a little unhappy and stood aside and didn't come.

Mel looked at it, realized something, smiled, and didn't speak.

If you are not mistaken, the person next to Elle is likely to be Elle's marriage partner, both are the children of the earl, and the identities of the two parties are equal, and they are the right family.

Wren secretly admires Ellie, so naturally he doesn't have a good impression of Kaka.

The immature teenager wrote everything on his face.

Master Loren came down from upstairs, took a look, and then said, "Okay, let's go, the conference is almost about to begin." ”

Maier and the others followed behind Master Loren in turn.

Upon entering the hall, Master Loren was quickly invited away by a group of people, and as one of the most important writers in the principality, it was clear that Master Loren had to play some sort of role in the Congress.

For example, award presenters and the like.

Maier and the others sat in the private room, and through the empty wall they could clearly see the scene in the center of the hall, with a high platform standing in the center, and a young man standing on the high platform.

Attendees continued to enter, and the huge hall quickly became crowded.

But fortunately, the people who participated in the conference can be regarded as celebrities, and they attach importance to their own statements, even if they speak, they will deliberately lower their voices, but they will not make the hall seem noisy.

Maier searched around, but did not find the figure he expected, then withdrew his gaze and waited quietly for the meeting to begin.

The moderator gave a long pre-conference speech, the main content of which was to welcome everyone to come to the conference, and that there have been many good writers, good stories and so on in the past year.

By the way, I also thanked some of the organizers of the conference, that is, the royal family, and also thanked the gods.

Maier listened drowsily, whether in his past life or in this life, he was not very interested in this kind of link, but it seems that most people are not very interested in this kind of link.

Wren was already asleep, Ellie was barely holding on, Kaka's eyelids flickered, and when he happened to see Myer's gaze, he smiled embarrassedly, and then tried to cheer up.

After a long wait, this session finally came to an end, and then it was time for the President of the Writers Guild to deliver a speech.

Probably sensing that everyone's emotions had been almost worn off by the host's previous speech, the president did not make a long speech, but announced the official opening of the meeting after a few short sentences.

This time, the applause was stronger than any other.

There are a total of six awards in the Writers' Jury Awards.

They are, Writer of the Year, Novel of the Year, Novella of the Year, Short Story of the Year, New Writer of the Year, and Innovation of the Year.

There are countless writers, but there are only six awards, and there can only be one winner for each award, so the gold content of any of these six awards is extremely amazing.

Among them, the most valuable is undoubtedly the best writer of the year.

But Maier had no expectations for the award, as he was just starting this year and was unlikely to be recognized by all the voters in this award.

There is also no hope for the best feature of the year, "Robinson Crusoe" is still in serialization and is not eligible for the nomination, and the remaining novels are not full-length novels.

The others are hopeful.

"Below, I announce that the winner of the best short story of the year is ......"
