Chapter 740: Drama!
Kyoto Drama Theater.
At this moment, He Yun was standing at the door, chatting with someone talking and laughing.
Just now, when he was passing by, he met a person he hadn't seen for a long time, so he got out of the car and stopped to chat with him for a while.
Unexpectedly, there was an unexpected gain.
It turned out that this person's name was Liu Neng, a native of Kyoto.
He used to teach at Kyoto Normal University, and later went to work as a drama playwright.
He Yun naturally doesn't know much about dramas, but I heard that his screenwriting career is very good.
Not only did he write a script that won many national awards, but he himself was invited to the School of Drama.
Today, he is both a university teacher and an excellent playwright.
"Lao He, I heard that you resigned from Kyoto Normal University?"
"I resigned early! You've only heard about it! He Yun replied with a smile.
"Haven't we seen each other in years? I met Professor Sun not long ago, and he told me! ”
"Lao Sun seems to have gone to your drama academy too, right?"
"Hmm...... We ...... the year before last."
……
He Yun was really surprised to receive the letter from Principal Zhao again, because he had just sent the reply, how could Principal Zhao send him the reply, even if it was put in the future generations, it was almost impossible, after all, the two places were separated by hundreds of miles.
However, everything is not absolute, after all, it is also a fact that he received a reply again, so He Yun felt that there must be something strange in this.
So, he simply opened the letter directly.
But what made him a little confused was that the large envelope also contained a letter and a piece of stationery.
"This ...... Why is it the same as what I received yesterday? ”
He Yun muttered secretly in his heart, this time, he didn't read the letter written to him by Principal Zhao first, but picked up the letter that was sent together, and looked at the sender and address on the envelope.
"Kyoto? People's Literature Publishing House? No way? Could it be the same as yesterday's "Science Fiction Literature and Art" magazine, which sent a notice of being selected for the award? ”
He Yun was surprised, and immediately opened the letter and looked at it carefully.
But after reading it, he was even more puzzled.
"What's going on? "Fanghua" unfortunately failed to be selected for the first People's Literature Award, when will my "Fanghua" be selected? I don't think I received a sample issue or notification letter from the People's Literature Publishing House before? Don't...... Was the letter lost in the middle of the process? ”
Come to think of it, there is indeed this possibility, after all, the frequency of this kind of thing is still quite high at the moment.
No, this time he happened to run into it.
Of course, it doesn't really matter, what matters is the award itself.
Although He Yun didn't know what this "People's Literature Award" was, he knew that it should be an award evaluated by the People's Literature Publishing House itself.
In fact, He Yun guessed that it was really eight or nine and ten.
Although the "People's Literature Award" is not as good as the "Mao Dun Literature Award", the largest award in the current literary world, it is also a relatively official literary award.
The first "People's Literature Award" happened to be in April 1986, that is, now, the final list of winners was announced.
But in reality, the selection process began very early, just four or five months before the final winners were announced
The general award process is also similar to the "Huaxia Science Fiction Galaxy Award", first publicizing the list of members of the award committee, then screening the shortlist, and finally adopting a secret ballot to select the final winning works.
In fact, not only the "Chinese Science Fiction Galaxy Award" and the "People's Literature Award", but also the entire 80s, in fact, the winning process of each literary award was almost the same.
Generally speaking, these literary awards can be divided into official and semi-official, but on the whole, they are all official in nature, such as the "National Outstanding Short and Medium Story Award" selected by the National Writers Association since 1977, which is the most typical official literary award.
In addition, such as the "Mao Dun Literature Award", "Horse Award", "National Children's Literature Award", etc., are also official literary awards.
And its level is very high, almost representing the highest awards in various fields of domestic literature.
Literary awards that are paid for or selected by magazines or publishing houses are semi-official literary awards.
This can also be divided into two kinds, one is fully funded by magazines or publishing houses in the 80s, such as the early "Chinese Science Fiction Galaxy Award", the first "People's Literature Award", the early "October Literature Award" and so on.
The other is the title of the literary award, such as the later "Galaxy Award", "Yanling Cup - People's Literature Award" and so on.
These "literary awards" tend to be of a semi-official and semi-commercial nature, and they are often of a higher prize money.
The reason why the same award has changed so much is because, in the late 80s and 90s, various literary awards emerged one after another, but the prize money has always been very low, the highest is only 10,000 yuan.
In this way, with the improvement of material living standards, this bonus can no longer support the entire literary award, so the "titled" literary award will also be released.
Throughout the nineties, such literary awards were numerous and extremely popular, and they were held quite successfully.
For example, Sprout magazine's "New Concept Essay Contest" is one of them.
But even so, the amount of money for literary awards is still not very high, and it is still far from foreign literary awards.
Take the "Mao Dun Literature Award", the highest award in the literary world in later generations, for example, its award-winning authors can only receive a prize of up to 500,000 coins.
Not to mention these literary awards in the eighties at the moment.
Belch...... It seems to be far away again, but let's get back to the point.
He Yun naturally didn't know much about these, and in his impression, he also knew about the "Mao Dun Literature Award", "Lu Xun Literature Award", "Bingxin Literature Award", and "Ba Jin Literature Award", which were literary awards established in the name of great writers.
But these literary awards, except for a few or two, such as the "Mao Dun Literature Award", which was established in the 80s, most of the rest of the literary awards were almost only established in the 90s or even the 21st century, and now these awards do not exist at all.
It is precisely because of this that he is also confused about various awards.
For example, the "National Outstanding Short and Medium Story Award" mentioned in this notification letter, he doesn't know what this award is? Which organization is it hosting?
It turned out that in this letter, in addition to informing him that his "Fanghua" was selected for the first "People's Literature Award" by three votes, he was also informed of another good news.
Right! That's the good news!
At least for He Yun, it is a rare piece of good news.
In the letter, the publisher promised to do its best to help him recommend this "Fanghua" to the 1985~1986 "National Excellent Short and Medium Story Award" award committee to be held early next year.
At the same time, they will also consider recommending his "Fanghua" to the "October Literary Award" committee held by October magazine this year.
He Yun was really surprised to receive the letter from Principal Zhao again, because he had just sent the reply, how could Principal Zhao send him the reply, even if it was put in the future generations, it was almost impossible, after all, the two places were separated by hundreds of miles.

For example, the "National Outstanding Short and Medium Story Award" mentioned in this notification letter, he doesn't know what this award is? Which organization is it hosting?
It turned out that in this letter, in addition to informing him that his "Fanghua" was defeated by three votes, the first "People's Literature Award" was also informed, and he was also informed of another good news.
Right! That's the good news!
At least for He Yun, it is a rare piece of good news.
In the letter, the publisher promised to do its best to help him recommend this "Fanghua" to the 1985~1986 "National Excellent Short and Medium Story Award" award committee to be held early next year.
At the same time, they will also consider recommending his "Fanghua" to the "October Literary Award" committee held by October magazine this year.
It can be said that such treatment, He Yun, a rookie writer, is extremely difficult to obtain.
Because of the current literary awards, whether they are award-winning authors, recommended authors, or shortlisted authors, almost all of them are writers of the older generation, after all, they write so well and have a high reputation.
