Chapter 1318 Holding a Literary Grand Prix
Hearing Xiao Yunhai's words, Henry Zhang's face suddenly turned a little red, and said: "Mr. Xiao has won the prize. At first, my old man regarded you as an ignorant businessman and artist. Later, when I saw your three works, Only then did I realize that my eyes were dim. Haha, ashamed."
"Old Zhang, what makes you ashamed." It was Wang Huatao who was with Henry Zhang at the beginning.
Henry Zhanglin said: "What else could it be? Of course it's a work written by Mr. Xiao. Do you think you can compare?"
Wang Huatao smiled bitterly and said, "It's not comparable. Especially the "Diary of a Madman", it was as sharp as a knife, and I was sweating profusely."
Xiao Yunhai said quickly, "Mr. Wang has won the prize."
The three of them smiled, ignoring their enmity and hatred, and stood together and chatted.
Next to Wang Xichen felt a little embarrassed, because they were talking about the future development of Chinese literature, and he was a little bit speechless.
This made Wang Xichen, who had some opinions on Xiao Yunhai, even more dissatisfied.
Xiao Yunhai naturally ignored Wang Xichen's thoughts.
"Two teachers, do you think that the development of Chinese literature has reached a bottleneck stage. Although everyone still attaches great importance to it, there are fewer and fewer good works, and it seems that there is no success."
Hearing Xiao Yunhai's words, Wang Xichen finally had the opportunity to interject, and said, "Mr. Xiao, are you too pessimistic? In my opinion, now is the prosperous age of literature where a hundred schools of thought contend and a hundred flowers bloom. How can there be no success."
Xiao Yunhai shook his head and said, "Mr. Wang, you have only seen the superficial phenomenon. The reason for giving people this illusion is just the false prosperity caused by the emergence of online works.
Let's just talk about the awards ceremony. Have you ever noticed that there are only two shortlisted writers under the age of forty besides you and me. All others are over forty years old. This phenomenon is very bad. "
Henry Zhang said: "Mr. Xiao is right. I have also been worried about the development of Chinese literature. The reason why I strongly oppose the online fast food culture is to worry about poisoning the next generation. Those works can be said to have no literary value, but it is a pity The thing is that I have no way of getting readers to notice our traditional literature."
Xiao Yunhai smiled and said, "This is the role of propaganda. Teacher Zhang, I can tell you an immediate method."
Henry Zhang's eyes lit up and said anxiously: "Mr. Xiao, please speak."
Xiao Yunhai said confidently: "The reason why online literature can quickly become popular is because of its low threshold, anyone can write, and more importantly, it can bring rich income to those online writers. In case of a popular book, They can support them for a lifetime. In that case, why don't we use their methods. If you become a traditional literary writer, you can still bring huge income to everyone. How many famous people will emerge in China. "
"In view of this, I would like to hold an annual literary competition for young writers under the age of thirty-five in China, with four awards for each literary form: the first prize, the second prize, the third prize and the excellence prize. One One first prize, five million Huaxia coins, three second prizes, two million each, six third prizes, one million each, and 50 to 100 outstanding prizes, each with ten Wan. I believe that in this way, it will definitely attract a lot of people to participate. Our traditional literature will naturally be able to follow.”
Henry Zhang was shocked and said: "Mr. Xiao, if you follow your method, you will need to pay 150 million Chinese coins every year for this game alone. You..."
Xiao Yunhai laughed and said: "You forgot, I am the richest man in the world. One billion and eighty billion is not in my eyes, let alone this little money. This is also my contribution to the development of our Chinese literature. Well. However, I want to tell you in advance that the money is no problem, but the competition will be organized and reviewed by our Chinese Literature Association, which is probably not a small workload."
"It's a small matter. We have tens of thousands of students from major colleges and universities to help, and there will be no problem. Mr. Xiao, my old man is inexplicably grateful for your generosity. On behalf of the Literary Association, I thank you."
After speaking, Henry Zhang actually wanted to bow to Xiao Yunhai, so scared that Xiao Yunhai quickly supported his shoulder and said, "Mr. Zhang, please don't do this, I can't stand this."
When the writers who were chatting in the venue saw such a scene, they all looked over, and their surprise was beyond words.
"What's the matter? Are my eyes blooming? Why did Teacher Zhang bow to Mr. Xiao?"
"I must be hallucinating, it's so unscientific."
"What is the reason for Teacher Zhang to do this?"
Everyone was there whispering.
The reporters naturally wouldn't let this scene go, and the flashlights lit up.
The award ceremony held by the Huaxia Literature Association has always been highly valued by the country. Every year, leaders from the Ministry of Culture and the Ministry of Education come to participate, and the CCTV Science and Education Channel will also broadcast live.
This time, Liang Qianqiu, Minister of Culture, and Fu Lianping, Vice Minister of Education.
As soon as the two entered the venue, they saw the scene of Henry Zhang bowing to Xiao Yunhai, and immediately stopped, looked at each other, and saw surprise in each other's eyes.
Fu Lianping used to be Henry Zhang's student, and he knew a lot about his temperament, and said: "It seems that Mr. Xiao Yunhai should have done something very beneficial to the Chinese literary world, otherwise, the teacher would never do this. "
Liang Qianqiu said: "Let's go, let's go over and ask what's going on?"
The two stepped forward and said hello to Henry Zhang and Wang Huatao. After being polite, they asked about what happened just now.
Hearing that Xiao Yunhai was going to hold the Chinese Literature Contest every year, Liang Qianqiu smiled and said: "Mr. Zhang, you don't have to thank him too much. This kid can't spend a lot of money now, let alone 100 million, even if it is 10 billion a year. , he can still take it out."
Xiao Yunhai smiled bitterly and said, "Uncle Liang, you don't mean anything. How can I say that this is also a contribution to the development of our Chinese literature, how can it change in your mouth? It seems that I am begging. It's like you're helping me spend money."
"Hahaha."
The crowd burst into laughter when they heard it.
At eight o'clock, the party officially started.
The two hosts took to the stage and made an opening speech, saying: "In the past four years, our Chinese literature has developed vigorously, and a large number of outstanding literary writers have emerged. Now we will enter the awarding session. The first one The award is the best book award. A total of 32 works were shortlisted. After more than 300 literary circles, the writers who won the third prize were Wang Yuzhi's "Spring Rain Collection" and Lang Yudong's "Flying Poems to the South". " and Chen Yadong's "Unforgettable Novel Collection", invite three teachers to come to the stage to accept the award."
Amid the applause and applause of the crowd, the three of them came to the stage to accept the award, and then each of them made a serious sigh of relief before walking off the stage.
Although Xiao Yunhai was applauding along with everyone, he felt very bored in his heart.
"It's no wonder that the ratings of the previous Huaxia Literature and Art Awards Ceremony are so low? There are neither laughs nor good-looking programs. It's no wonder that the ratings are high."
Just when Xiao Yunhai was slandering in his heart, Wang Xichen next to him won the first place in the Best Book Award for "Urban and Rural".
The acceptance speech he delivered also had no meaning at all, and Xiao Yunhai was a little drowsy listening to it.
