Editor-in-Chief Lou and Carol had completely different statements, which made Ji Zhuo ask.

Then, immediately after that, I received a reply from Editor-in-Chief Lou.

Editor-in-Chief Lou: Yes, indeed. But "Seven Days of Hell" has enough achievements and enough readers.

Editor-in-Chief Lou: And as you all know, Mr. Ji, your "Seven Days of Hell" and your friend's "Imperial Epic" are competing against each other.

Editor-in-Chief Lou: Even the Prix Goncourt will consider the impact of the award on one of them.

Editor-in-Chief Lou: Our publishing house can also do some operations on this...... There are many publishing houses that participated in the review, and the Delvin White Flag Country Branch also participated to a certain extent. ”

Editor-in-Chief Lou's words are really tactful, but the meaning expressed,

Is it just pressure and shady?

Then I saw that the editor-in-chief Lou said it more directly.

"Editor-in-Chief Lou: It should be Mr. Ji, your award, no one can snatch it."

Ji Zhuo looked at the words of the editor-in-chief Lou with confidence,

There was silence.

Is this me shady myself?

Ji Zhuo only felt that it was not necessary......

"Clumsy and extraordinary: if Editor-in-Chief Lou does this, Bert Press won't sit still, right?

Editor-in-Chief Lou: Yes. Although the influence of Bert Press itself is not very good, it has a very high influence in the whole of Europa and even Amerika California, backed by North Comprehensive Publishing.

Editor-in-Chief Lou: But it's fine, even so. At most, it was a rivalry, and in the end it was the same result as the British Literature Prize. ”

Editor-in-chief Lou is full of confidence.

Ji Zhuo only felt that he had created evil.

The jury of the British Prize for Literature and the Prix Goncourt for Literature is nothing short of evil.

In order to meet the "Seven Days of Hell" published by Delvin and Bert Press, "Seven Days of Hell" by dog authors and "Imperial Epic" by ABC.

The two books are equally influential, and the two publishing houses are not vegetarians.

The judges caught in the middle can only say that they have created evil.

Ji Zhuo also felt that he had really created a sin,

Last time, it was because ABC and the dog author won the award at the same time.

He had to give up the video connection when he received the award, and asked the editor-in-chief Lou to collect it on his behalf, but there were a lot of troubles.

Let him be forced to say that the dog author and ABC know each other.

This time......

Forget it.

"Clumsy and extraordinary: thank you Editor-in-Chief Lou for your ...... of my work Faith, but let it be.

Clumsy and extraordinary: let him win the Goncourt Literary Prize for "Imperial Epic".

Editor-in-Chief Lou: What does Mr. Ji mean that he will not put additional pressure on this?

Editor-in-Chief Lou: That might be ...... The jury members were indeed more serious in their preference for serious subjects.

Clumsy and extraordinary: Well, it's fine, just let it be.

Editor-in-Chief Lou: Does Mr. Ji want to use the new book to compete fairly with ABC's new book in the future?

Editor-in-Chief Lou: Yes, after all, "Seven Days of Hell" is just your old work, Mr. Ji.

Editor-in-Chief Lou: Then let "Imperial Epic" take it first this time? ”

Ji Zhuo looked at the editor-in-chief Lou and made up a lot of content in his brain.

There's not much to say.

"Clumsy and extraordinary: yes.

Editor-in-Chief Lou: Mr. Ji is really broad-minded and doesn't care about temporary gains and losses.

Editor-in-Chief Lou: But I think the next award will definitely be the result of your victory, Mr. Ji. ”

Two more rainbow farts,

So if I compete for this award, should I praise me for my self-confidence, courage and majesty?

After a few more polite words with Editor-in-Chief Lou, the exchange ended.

Ji Zhuo put down the phone again,

Lying on your stomach and enjoying this sour shoulder and neck massage,

Yun Qingmu on the bed next to him turned his head again and looked at Ji Zhuo,

"Ji Zhuo?"

"Hmmm......"

Yun Qingmu cast a gaze, probably a little curious about what he was doing with his mobile phone just now.

Editor of Delvin Press. Let's talk about "Seven Days of Hell" competing for an award. ”

Ji Zhuo roughly replied.

Yun Qingmu's eyes lit up,

"Seven Days of Hell is going to win again?"

“…… This time, "Seven Days of Hell" should not win the award. The jury of that award was more serious in favour of serious subjects. Probably the winner should be "Imperial Epic". ”

"Oh......"

Yun Qingmu had a slight regret in his eyes.

"Shhh...... Auntie, my waist is also light, my back hurts. ”

"Young man, you can't do it with this body, you still have to exercise more, this muscle is stiff."

……

“…… Friends, our annual event is about to begin. But before we can do that, we need to choose the work that will win this year's award, and the one that will be published this year is the best one. ”

The Institut Goncourtin is once again holding a selection meeting.

In the conference room, the selection committee members who participated in the selection looked at the person who presided over the selection meeting.

This is the third review meeting in a short period of time.

The first two times, the same result was obtained.

More than 50 percent of the jury voted for Imperial Epic.

There has not been a situation where the previous British Literary Prize deliberately left the two sides to vote evenly.

But it was never decided, and the "Imperial Epic" was awarded.

Because, the remaining forty percent of the votes went to another book, "Seven Days of Hell."

Also because,

Even if the Delvin Press did not use his influence and resources to exert pressure,

After communicating with Ji Zhuo, he chose to go with the flow.

But the dog author's readers in Europa and abroad don't care about that.

What! What do you think about not awarding an award to such an excellent work as "Seven Days of Hell"?

How much money did you charge from Bert Press!

If only a small number of readers put pressure on the jury of the prize, then the Goncourt Literary Prize will naturally be ignored.

But at a time when the readership was in the millions, the Prix Goncourt was a bit of a strain.

The forums on the official website were full of relevant discussions, so that the official website forum of the Goncourt Literary Prize was forced to close.

Although the Delvin Press said that it did not follow suit, it must be happy to see this.

After all, if it wins an award, it is a sustainable publicity point, which means that part of the book will be sold for a long time.

And if we talk about the pressure of public opinion from millions of readers, the Goncourt Literary Prize can barely withstand it.

After all, there are millions of readers of "The Imperial Epic" who are going toe-to-toe with the readers of "Seven Days of Hell."

The Goncourt Prize itself is much more influential than the previous British Prize.

critical,

In fact, these participating judges have internal contradictions.

Well, it's true that a large part of these jurors are more serious subjects.

But the problem is that it is impossible for every judge to have the same taste.

After watching "Seven Days of Hell", some of the judges were extraordinary, preferring "Seven Days of Hell".

There are also some judges who voted for "Seven Days of Hell", although they feel that both books are excellent,

But seeing so many people voting for "Imperial Epic", I also lost my temper, why not vote for "Seven Days of Hell"?

Is it because of your prejudices?

Is it really impossible to win an award for a realistic work with science fiction elements like this?

I don't!

Supposedly, even so.

Then "Imperial Epic" also got more votes,

Isn't it okay to directly determine that "Imperial Epic" is an award-winning work?

But...... I can't stand the excitement and fierce opposition of the judges who support "Seven Days of Hell"!

How intense is it......

At the last judging meeting, one of the judges who supported "Seven Days of Hell" smashed his chair against the one who was about to unilaterally announce the award for "Imperial Epic".

Put the last review meeting on hold.

At this moment, the people who presided over the meeting couldn't help but glance at the old professor who smashed people in the last meeting.

“…… After going back last time, I think you all went back to reading the books that each other supported. Let's start with a round of voting. ”

The other works were not mentioned, and the voting for "Seven Days of Hell" and "Imperial Epic" directly began.

"Please choose the raised hand of 'Seven Days of Hell.'"

"Professor Wiesel, please don't raise your hands at the same time."

The person who presided over the meeting said with a headache when he counted the votes.

"This is double my support for Seven Days of Hell. After carefully reading "Imperial Epic", I still think "Seven Days of Hell" is even better! ”

The professor said in a loud voice.

"Professor Wiesel, please keep your sanity."

"Are you people who prefer "Seven Days of Hell" so irrational?"

One of the judges on the other side said with a smile.

Professor Wiesel turned his head, as did the other jurors who liked Seven Days of Hell as much as Professor Wiesel.

His eyes widened and he glared at the juror.

The jury member was silent.

“…… Okay, the rest of the professors, gentlemen, ladies, do they all choose the Imperial Epic? ”

"Okay, then now "Imperial Epic" has four more votes than "Seven Days of Hell"......"

"Then I declare ......"

The person presiding over the meeting looked at such a stalemate, and gritted his teeth and prepared to directly announce the victory of the "Imperial Epic".

"Disagree!"

"I protest against this result!"

Professor Wiesel took the lead, and a group of people stood up in a pout.

Still holding a heavy book in his hand, it seems that the person presiding over the meeting will smash the book in the next second.

"What do you want to do, Wiesel? Are all of you who support Seven Days of Hell so unreasonable? If the number of votes is not compared, the result will not be announced? ”

On the other side, it was also a member of the jury who took the lead, and they all stood up at once.

The two sides are in tension.

"I defend my doctrine, I defend my truth!"

Professor Wiesel shouted angrily.

"Dean, announce the results!"

The person over there announced to the person presiding over the meeting.

The person presiding over the meeting could only bite the bullet and continued,

You can't put it off forever.

"I declare that the Imperial Epic is the winner of this year's Prix Goncourt."

"...... Uproar"

The jury in support of the Imperial Epic was like a victory, raising their hands and cheering.

Professor Wiesel, including the jury members who supported "Seven Days of Hell",

He left the table angrily.

Before leaving, Professor Wiesel also reached out and snatched the "Imperial Epic" from one of the judges opposite.

smashed the book directly at the person presiding over the meeting.

The other jurors did the same, snatching the book and smashing it at the jury member opposite.

"I don't agree with the results of this vote!"

"I don't think this vote is authoritative!"

The result of the voting was to select the winner of the Imperial Epic.

However, the jury members who support "Seven Days of Hell" still support "Seven Days of Hell".

And then......

Heated arguments at the judging meeting,

I don't know if it's deliberate or intentional,

That's how it came out.

And then

The quarrel between the readers of "Seven Days of Hell" and the readers of "Imperial Epic" has re-intensified.

Readers of "Seven Days of Hell" said that the selection of the Goncourt Literary Prize was not impartial.

It's just forcibly awarded to the "Imperial Epic", haven't you seen so many judges scolding them on the Internet?

The reader of "Imperial Epic" is, you say that it is useless, anyway, my "Imperial Epic" won the award.

Fortunately, it was rumored that ABC and the dog author were friends before.

There is also a limit to the extent to which readers can argue,

It can't get to the point where the group of judges is so fierce that they smash books offline.

It's just a competition on the Internet.

For this result,

Naturally, Bert Publishing was satisfied.

After all, "Imperial Epic" won the award.

Delvin Publishing is also quite satisfied,

It was revealed that more than half of the jury members were against this result.

Speaking of which, it wouldn't be said that "Seven Days of Hell" is worse than "Imperial Epic".

And with the resurgence of the debate on the Internet, the Goncourt Literary Prize is about to be awarded.

The popularity brought by it not only made the sales of "Imperial Epic" rise again, but also the weekly sales of "Seven Days of Hell" and "Hour Hand" also rebounded.

Readers of the dog author are also reluctantly accepting this result.

Seven Days of Hell is no worse than any book!

ABC readers can also accept it, anyway, it won the award.

The organizers of the Prix Goncourt are not so uncomfortable,

Although the jury is noisy, it seems to affect the authority of this year's Goncourt Literary Prize.

But doesn't it seem that the award selection is fair, you can see how much the jury argues for the works they support.

Other than that...... Hey, while not awarding two books at the same time as the British Literary Prize,

But the readers of both books were not offended.

It's hard to say, not intentionally.

So who is upset......

……

"Editor: Mr. O'Chino, you may need to pause for a moment in the warm-up of your new book.

Editor: I hope you understand that the resources of our publishing house cannot collide with the enthusiasm brought by millions of readers.

Edit: If you promote it during this time, it may not bring so good results. ”

White Flag Country.

The ordinary writer Ochino looked at the news he edited,

There was some silence.

looked at the "Imperial Epic" and "Seven Days of Hell" on his table,

There was an urge to throw these two books away.

He alone saw "Imperial Epic" and "Seven Days of Hell" win the British Literary Prize,

I just heard ABC say that there will be no new books in the near future.

But I forgot that the Goncourt Literary Prize was about to be awarded.

…… This award usually has nothing to do with him, so he naturally doesn't pay much attention to it.

Moreover, this Goncourt Literary Prize is really unproductive.

Your good award is over, and it will be awarded to any of the two books.

Don't make any news about the fierce opposition of the jury and the angry departure of the jury at the review meeting,

It's not going to bring such a big heat anymore, as if it's intentional.

Ochino was full of emotions, and it felt difficult to vent in his heart.

Then I looked at the book on the side of the table, endured and endured,

He withdrew his outstretched hand.

Never mind

I bought it with my own money, and I also suffered a loss if I threw it away.

And I want to watch it again at night......

Well...... I'm learning, learning to learn, not just trying to see.

Turning his head, Ochino looked at the news from the publisher's editor repeatedly.

"Ochino: Do you think I need to delay the release of my new book?

Edit: I don't think so, just wait for these two days and then continue to promote.

Edit: Anyway, it's going to take some time for your new book to be released.

Ochino: That's good. ”

Receiving this reply, Ochino exhaled.

Finally, I don't have to postpone the release of my new book.

Thinking like this, I looked at the "Imperial Epic" and "Seven Days of Hell" on the side of the table again.

I can't affect myself anymore,

My mind suddenly widened.

When did the Prix Goncourt come to be awarded?

Do you want to watch the live stream when the time comes?

In addition, it's a pity that "Seven Days of Hell" didn't win the award.

Ochino is a centrist, the kind who loves both Seven Days of Hell and Imperial Epic!
