Just when the whole network was hotly discussing Ye Luo's new book and the literary world was collectively paying attention, the official Weibo account suddenly issued an announcement: "After the proposal of the Cultural Revitalization Group and the discussion of relevant experts of the Chinese Academy of Literature, it has been decided to officially start the selection of the 'Wenqu Star Award' on January 15, 2023." ”

The following is a document, "Notice on the Selection of the 27th 'Wenqu Star Award'". This is a red-headed document of the Eight Classics, the publisher is the Wenzhen Group, and the content is also dry goods.

Including the participation criteria, selection rules, etc., it can be said that the regulations are quite detailed.

Of course, there are precedents for these things, after all, the "Wenqu Star Award" is an award with the longest history in the Chinese literary world. The relevant awards this time are exactly the same as the previous ones.

Moreover, as the most valuable literary award in the Chinese literary world, the selection scope of the Wenqu Star Award is quite broad. As long as the book you write is a literary book and first published in China, there are no restrictions on the nationality of the author, the genre of the book, and the subject matter.

Even the authors of martial arts and the Internet, who have been excluded by the mainstream literary world, are eligible to participate in the evaluation.

Of course, according to the requirements of relevant laws and regulations, those authors who have a record of violating the law and committing crimes, or who have a record of punishment by the Wenzhen Group and the Academy of Literature, are not allowed to participate in the selection.

As for the selection criteria and process, the "Wenqu Star Award" has always adopted a "dual-track selection method", that is, while readers and the masses vote, there will also be relevant experts to conduct professional reviews according to the quality, influence, sales and other aspects of the book.

Under the combination of the two, a series of award-winning works of the "Wenqu Star Award" will be selected in the end.

The reaction to this news was overwhelming.

After the meeting, the people of the Ancient Literature Association received a notice before they could leave.

"The Starlight Awards are starting to be selected?"

"Why is it so early this year?"

"It doesn't make sense! It's not even the New Year......"

"That's a big deal!"

Everyone was talking, and the voice was obviously much louder than just now.

Feng Jiahua, Liu Ying and others were all surprised.

They are accustomed to calling the "Wenqu Star Award" the "Starlight Award", which has a very long history and has been handed down from the Republic of China.

In the last century, when the Wenzhen Group was established, the sponsorship qualification of this award was directly assigned to the Wenzhen Group.

It can be said that the Starlight Award not only has a long history, but also is the highest standard literary award in the entire Chinese literary circle!

Chairman Li Wenzheng and others have attached great importance to this.

"Every four years, although there is no New Year yet, but the Gregorian calendar has indeed arrived at the 2nd New Year, and there is no definite selection month for this award, this year's session is set in January, and it is also said to be in the past." Chairman Li Wenzheng said.

Everyone nodded to this explanation.

But Chairman Li Wenzheng said: "However, I always feel that the Starlight Award may have something to do with Mr. Ye's new book. ”

Everyone was stunned for a moment, but then they thought about it and felt very reasonable.

Why was this award not announced early or late, but it was not announced until Mr. Ye announced that a new book was about to be released?

Besides, there was no news at all.

"Don't say it, maybe the Erwen Zhen group also wants to give Teacher Ye an honor."

"yes, it's a possibility."

"Since Mr. Ye's debut, how many masterpieces have he written? But he doesn't seem to have any honor in the literary world, right? ”

"People have won awards on the host's side, but they haven't given a single award in the literary world, which is really unreasonable."

"Nine times out of ten, I want to take advantage of Mr. Ye's new book to give Mr. Ye a generous gift."

"Hey, this is what people deserve, how much has Mr. Ye contributed to the Chinese literary world? Don't say that you will win a Starlight Award, that is, give him all the three major awards in the literary world, and I don't complain. ”

"This year's Starlight Award can be regarded as no suspense."

"yes."

The conference room was bustling with smiles on everyone's faces.

Although when discussing "The Legend of Tang Poetry and Immortals" just now, the atmosphere was more solemn, and everyone had all kinds of thoughts in their hearts. But at this moment, when it comes to the topic of the Starlight Award, everyone's opinions are quite unanimous.

This award should be given to Ye Luo!

Not only the people of the Ancient Literature Association think the same way, but even the people of the New Literature Association think the same way.

Whether it is Zhang Rumeng and Hao Zhijun who support Ye Luo, or Yang Huan and others who have a lot of opinions on Ye Luo, it is a rare unity of opinion at this time.

"Teacher Ye Luo won this award, I think it is expected by everyone." Zhang Rumeng said lightly, "Whether it is the support rate of the masses or the opinions of the expert jury, it is estimated that there will be no surprises." ”

Hao Zhijun also nodded, "In the past two years, who can catch up with Teacher Ye's limelight?" ”

Old Professor Yang Huan's face was expressionless, "There must be no surprise that he won this award." However, which of his books won this award? ”

As soon as these words came out, these people in the Xinwen Association were stunned for a moment.

They really didn't think about this question just now, and they patronized Ye Luo's dominance in the literary world in the past two years.

As a literary award with the highest standard in the Chinese literary world, the "Wenqu Star Award" is not actually awarded by the author himself, but by the author's works.

In other words, Ye Luo's award must be a certainty, but which of his books will win the award?

Is it the "Ye Tang Series"?

Or "Romance of the Three Kingdoms"?

Or, is it "The Awakening Age" and "The Biography of Mr. Lu Xun"?

Although there is not only one book winning the Starlight Award every year, there is only one book in the Gold Award, which represents the highest honor!

Zhang Rumeng knocked on the table, leaned back, and said expressionlessly, "Although there are clear criteria for the selection rules of the Starlight Award, I support Teacher Ye's award." Speaking of this, he deliberately paused, glanced at the people present, and saw that they all looked in agreement, before continuing, "However, I think the most influential and practical of his books has to be "The Biography of Mr. Lu Xun". I think that we must have our own attitudes and actions in the New Literature Association. ”

The New Literature Association is not his Zhang Rumeng's word. So, many times, you have to be cautious about temptation.

But fortunately, on the topic of "The Biography of Mr. Lu Xun", all of them have the same opinion.

Regardless of whether it is the modern poetry school of Hao Zhijun and others, or the academic school of Professor Yang Huan, on this issue, they all choose to support Zhang Rumeng!

Because, they have no other choice!

If Ye Luo had a copy of "Biography of the Poets of the Republic of China", then Hao Zhijun would probably have to start with Zhang Rumeng!

But it's a pity that among so many books in Ye Luo, they can only choose this "Biography of Mr. Lu Xun".

Chairman Shao Xinzhong nodded slowly, but he was not very optimistic about this matter, "Our modern literature has a wide readership, but since the emergence of the Ye Tang series, classical literature has continued to recover, and I am afraid that it is no longer something that we can make a final decision with a single shout." ”

Moreover, he has another worry in his heart, that is, Ye Luo's new book "The Legend of Tang Poetry and Immortals". The release of the Starlight Award this time is too coincidental in terms of timing, and he doesn't believe it if it is not intentional. Therefore, if you want to win the gold medal with "The Biography of Mr. Lu Xun", Shao Xinzhong feels that it is unrealistic.

However, he didn't say this, he just said: "Of course, we still have to fight for what should be argued." However, you have to be prepared for both. If the momentum is not right, then winning the silver award is acceptable. ”

Everyone was silent, only Zhang Rumeng said vigorously: "The gold award must be fought for." "He writes about modern times, although they were hammered to the ground by Ye Luo's "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" before modern times. But this does not prevent him from supporting "The Biography of Mr. Lu Xun", on the contrary, it is precisely because of the existence of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" that he spares no effort to support "The Biography of Mr. Lu Xun". If "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" wins the gold medal, then regardless of modern literature, at least they will definitely be hit by modern times.

Zhang Rumeng's bottom line is that "The Biography of Mr. Lu Xun" must be awarded! And it can't be worse than "Romance of the Three Kingdoms"!

After everyone dispersed, Chairman Shao Xinzhong sighed and muttered to himself, "It's really eventful, Ye Luo's new book hasn't been released yet, and there is another Starlight Award...... He couldn't help but feel a headache.

……

At the same time, there has been an explosion of online reviews.

"Huh? The Starlight Awards are about to start? ”

"It's too sudden, isn't it? I thought I'd have to wait until the second half of the year. ”

"It's not the New Year yet."

"It's just that the selection will start, and when the results come out, it will definitely be next year."

"Hehe, this year's Starlight Awards, there is no need to comment at all, right? As long as there is no shady, the winner must be Mr. Ye. ”

"Why don't you have to judge? There are three gold, silver and bronze awards in the Starlight Award, Mr. Ye can't be all round, right? ”

"Is there a limit to the number of times the Starlight Awards can be won? If I'm not mistaken, I think no. There's no rule that a person can't win multiple awards, right? Then it is really possible for Mr. Ye to give Bao Yuan alone. ”

"There's nothing wrong with that."

"This is the first time that Mr. Ye has won awards since his debut, and all the books he wrote before can be evaluated."

"There are currently four books in the Ye Tang series alone, and this is not counting the new book that will come out soon. If Mr. Ye's new book can catch up, it will be five. plus "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and "The Biography of Mr. Lu Xun", these are seven books. The Starlight Gold Award is one, the Silver Award is two, and the Bronze Award is three, for a total of only six books. These seven books alone are not enough. Moreover, I haven't counted "The Awakening Age" and "Strange Tales"! ”

"Outrageous!"

"But seriously, except for Mr. Ye's books, even if other people's books are rated, are they embarrassed to accept the award?"

"No matter which book Mr. Ye is on, it must be a gold medal. Other people's books, I say something disrespectful, even if it is Old Man Xu's "Three Households", can it be compared with these books of Mr. Ye? ”

"If Mr. Ye can only select one book, then others are really embarrassed to take other awards."

Although netizens are exaggerating, the actual situation is indeed the case.

Ye Luo has so many books, almost every one of them is a boutique among the best.

Who would be embarrassed to win an award with his books?

Oh, Ye Luo's book won an award, and the other books that didn't win the award are better than the writing of the remaining award-winning works, which is an award? Isn't this a pure slap in the face?

In fact, there is no need for netizens to say that these writers in the literary world have already seen through it themselves. This time, as long as anyone dares to nominate themselves, they will immediately be anxious with him!

This year's award has nothing to do with them!

Everyone just eats melons honestly.

Not to mention, there are really big melons!

On the second day of Weibo's official release of this notice, the official Xinwen Association released a message on its major social accounts.

The general meaning is to say how good "The Biography of Mr. Lu Xun" is," ...... Mr. Lu Xun, as a generation of writers written by Mr. Ye, his image represents the image of thousands of literati who struggle for the country! It is the backbone of the literati of the Chinese nation! It is the best interpretation of the national spirit of courage and struggle! It is the most powerful interpretation of the Chinese culture! ”

Although the selection of the Starlight Award has not yet begun, the New Literature Association has already begun to exert its strength.

Their approach is clear to a discerning person.

For the Starlight Award, they have begun to canvass for "The Biography of Mr. Lu Xun"!

In the selection process, the public vote accounts for a large proportion.

Netizens also watched the excitement and didn't think it was a big deal, and they all started the Ancient Literature Association in the comment area.

"The New Literature Association is so wonderful!"

"I really don't treat the @Ancient Literature Association as a person."

"Hahaha, I'm laughing to death. @古文协会, your good brother is going to steal the crystal. ”

"The New Literature Association is really a vivid image of the interpretation of this sentence if you can't beat it, thinking about the past, they sprayed the most ruthless. Alas, I still like the way they were rebellious before. ”

"Pull it down, they've already taken it."

"@古文协会, what do you say?"

"I want to know, which work does the Ancient Literature Association hope for Mr. Ye to win the gold medal?"

"Hey, indeed."

"That's a good question."

Not only netizens are eating melons, but even many writers in the literary world are also talking about it.

Speaking of which, these writers are all parties involved in this incident. After all, the current Chinese literary scene is basically two big camps.

You are either a member of the New Literature Association or a member of the Ancient Literature Association. In addition, authors such as martial arts and online articles, although they have a huge number, they do not have any right to speak, and they are basically ignored.

However, most of the authors have the mentality of having fun. After all, the Ancient Literature Association and the New Literature Association are really unattainable existences for ordinary authors.

At this time, the ancient literature association, which attracted much attention, a group of leaders all had disgusting expressions like eating flies.

They really didn't expect that the New Literature Association would give them such a hand.

Push "The Biography of Mr. Lu Xun"?

Want to get this book a Gold Award?

I'll go to your second uncle!

"Shao Xinzhong, are they thinking about fart?" Feng Jiahua was furious, slapped the table and said, "The Biography of Mr. Lu Xun? How dare they say it? Teacher Ye, even if it's your turn, you can't take this book! ”

Professor Liu Yong was also angry, "That's it! There are so many books in the Ye Tang series, and it is Lu Xun's turn to win the gold medal? Hmph, the New Literature Association is really a wolf ambition! ”

Feng Jiahua, who was originally furious, frowned slightly after hearing Professor Liu Ying's words, and after saying a few words, he said, "...... That is, it is not Lu Xun's turn. Among Mr. Ye, the artistic value of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is obvious to all! He glanced at everyone and asked, "I said that "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is the best book written by Mr. Ye, everyone should have no opinion, right?" ”

Professor Liu Ying frowned, "Romance of the Three Kingdoms? ”

Feng Jiahua also frowned, and looked at Liu Ying without giving in, "What's wrong?" Professor Lau has a different view? "He has a very good personal relationship with Liu Ying, and last time it was Liu Ying who called him and asked him to go to Chengde.

But now is not the time for personal relationships.
