Grandpa's great writer

Chapter 753 Custer Award
As an associate professor in the Faculty of Arts, Jin Fei's daily life is very simple.

If there is a class in school, I will take a class. If there is no class, I will either go to the Southern Bookstore to kill time, or play tennis with my friends.

He has no lofty goals, and he has no plans to compete with other teachers for class time, so life is easy.

Today's Southern Bookstore is more lively than usual, but there are not many people who actually come to buy books. Many fans of Zhang Zhong just want to come to the bookstore to feel the atmosphere on this day.

Of course, Jin Fei didn't come to buy books. He bought the book "Lord of the Flies" when it first hit the shelves.

And next month his course will involve the principle of subjectivity, and he plans to take out "Lord of the Flies" to give a lecture to the students.

It has become a trend to teach Zhang Chong in literature classes now. On the one hand, Zhang Zhong’s works are indeed worthy of in-depth explanations to students, and on the other hand, teaching Zhang Chong to students is far more popular than telling them books by other writers.

"Lord of the Flies" has already been put on the podium by many literature teachers, and now it has brought China the first Goncourt Literature Prize, which is bound to increase the number of times it appears in the classroom.

A TV is hung in the middle of the lobby on the first floor of the Southern Bookstore, and the news report that Zhang Zhong won the Goncourt Literature Prize is being played in a loop.

"At one o'clock in the morning Yanjing time, the results of the Goncourt Literature Prize were finally announced. The famous Chinese writer Zhang Chong..."

There were many people around the TV, some of them had watched the news several times.

And this kind of news, they can watch it with their mobile phones without having to look up.However, most people still enjoy this atmosphere more, and the people next to them are Zhang Zhong's book friends, which makes them feel very happy.

If we use fan circle culture to compare these book friends of Zhang Zhong, then each bookstore is the gathering place for their fans.

……

"Father, I heard they said that you won the Goncourt Prize for Literature. What kind of prize is that?"

Pengpeng seemed to hold back for a long time, and when Zhang Zhong went to pick her up at noon, she couldn't wait to ask this question.

"It's a French literary award." Zhang Zhong explained.

"Is it great?"

"Famous."

"That must be great."

Zhang Zhong didn't explain to Pengpeng that being famous doesn't mean being great.

In Zhang Chong's view, the Goncourt Literature Prize is only sometimes great, and sometimes mediocre.

If someone asks Zhang Chong whether he is good at choosing "Lord of the Flies" for the Goncourt Literature Prize, Zhang Zhong can only say that he doesn't know whether it is good or not, at least not mediocre.

"Are their trophies beautiful?" Pengpeng asked again.

Zhang Zhong shook his head, "There is no trophy this time."

"Ah, so picky."

Haha, it’s quite picky, not to mention that there is no trophy, and the bonus is only [-] Euros. If Zhang Zhongzhong goes to receive the award, he will have to pay for his own travel and so on, which is not worth it.

Of course, that money should be earned back in sales.

The sales of Zhang Zhong's books in France are already very high, and it is basically impossible to double or even several times the sales of other Goncourt literary prize works.

However, an increase in sales of tens of thousands of 10,000+ should not be a problem.

"Dad, are you going to France to receive the award?"

"Well, what happened?"

"Can you take me there?"

Zhang Zhong looked at his daughter, "Why do you want to go to France?"

"Ms. Wu asked me to visit the Louvre."

"Didn't you go there last time?"

"But last time I was too busy playing, and didn't look at many paintings carefully."

"Okay, then let's go there together."

"Thank you, Dad, then shall we go to the Wishing Fountain? The ice cream there is delicious."

The corners of Zhang Zhong's mouth couldn't help twitching, thinking that the girl really wanted to go to the Louvre to see paintings, but now the little fox's tail was finally exposed, her real purpose turned out to be to eat ice cream.

"But the Trevi Fountain is in Rome."

"Isn't it very close? I remember arriving in a while." Pengpeng said.

That's because you fell asleep on the plane. Although Italy borders France, it is more than 1000 kilometers from Paris to Rome, which is farther than the distance from Jiangyang to Yanjing.

In the end, Zhang Zhong still didn't agree with Pengpeng to go to Rome to eat ice cream, and she couldn't develop such a habit.But he told Pengpeng that in fact, France also has ice cream, which is no worse than that in Rome.
Pengpeng was not hard to persuade, and was also very happy to hear that Zhang Zhongzhong took her to France to eat ice cream.

Then Zhang Zhong himself felt something was wrong, obviously he was going to receive the award, so he talked about taking her to France to eat ice cream.

The weather is still so cold, Peng Peng still wants to eat ice cream.

This is not the first time. She saw ice cream in the supermarket a few days ago and wanted to buy it, but Zhang Zhong didn't agree.

Could it be that this girl knew that Rome is far away from Paris, so she purposely named Rome just to make herself talk about French ice cream?
Peng Peng probably didn't have this careful thought.

But maybe, Zhang Zhong himself would occasionally have such small thoughts when he was a child.

I remember one time when his parents took him to the zoo, when he passed by a shop, he saw a plastic sword at a glance.

But he didn't open his mouth to ask his parents for the sword, but said that he wanted the remote control car next to him.

The remote control car costs 80 yuan, which was not cheap at the time, and the parents were of course reluctant.In the end, they bought plastic swords for Zhang Zhong that cost ten yuan each.

The parents felt that they had saved tens of dollars, and Zhang Zhong had successfully obtained the big sword he wanted, so everyone was happy.

If he had asked for the sword at the beginning, there was a high probability that he would not have gotten anything.

In any case, Zhang Zhong fell into the trick, and it is not known whether the trick was intentional or unintentional.

Zhang Zhong smiled. Last time he laughed at Xu Yuhan for being easily confused by the gosling effect, but it was not much better for him.

It seems that we should pay more attention next time, even if Pengpeng didn't do it on purpose this time, she will probably learn to use this trick when she tastes the sweetness in the future.

As for this time, since he had already promised him, naturally he couldn't break his promise.

……

In fact, besides the Goncourt Literary Prize, the news of another award is also very eye-catching recently.

If the Custer Awards are the most authoritative film awards in the world, some people may not agree.But if it is the most famous and longest-running film award in the world, no one can refute it.

As a film award that has lasted for nearly 100 years, the influence of the Custer Awards is beyond doubt.

Coincidentally, less than 24 hours after the announcement of the Goncourt Literary Prize, the nomination list for the Castel Award was released.
