Rebirth of the Entertainment Master

Xiao Yunhai naturally would not pay attention to Wang Xichen's thoughts.

"Teachers, do you feel that the development of Chinese literature has reached a bottleneck period. Although everyone still attaches great importance to it, there are fewer and fewer good works, and it seems that there is no successor."

Hearing Xiao Yunhai's words, Wang Xichen finally had a chance to intervene, and said, "Mr. Xiao, are you too pessimistic? In my opinion, today is a literary flourishing age where a hundred schools of thought contend and a hundred flowers bloom. How can there be no successor?"

Xiao Yunhai shook his head, and said: "Mr. Wang, you only saw 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 this awards ceremony. You have There are only two shortlisted writers under the age of 40 except you and me. All the others are over 40 years old. This phenomenon is very bad.”

Henry Zhang said: "Mr. Xiao is right. I have been worrying about the development of Chinese literature. The reason why I strongly oppose the Internet fast food culture is that I am worried that it will poison the next generation. Those works can be said to have no literary value. It is a pity What’s more, I have no way to make readers pay attention to our traditional literature.”

Xiao Yunhai smiled and said: "This is the role of propaganda. Teacher Zhang, I can tell you a method that will bring immediate results."

Henry Zhang’s eyes lit up, and he said anxiously: “Mr. Xiao, please speak.”

Xiao Yunhai said confidently: "The reason why Internet literature can become popular quickly is because it has a low barrier to entry, anyone can write it, and more importantly, it can bring those Internet writers a good income. If you write a book that becomes popular, You can support them for a lifetime. If that’s the case, why don’t we use their method. If you become a traditional literary writer, you can still bring a lot of income to everyone. How many famous writers do you think will emerge in China.”

"In view of this, I want to hold a literary competition for young writers under the age of 35 in China every year. There are four awards for each literary form: the first prize, the second prize, the third prize and the excellence award. The first prize One person will be rewarded with 500 million Huaxia coins, three second prizes will be awarded 200 million yuan each, six third prizes will be awarded 100 million yuan each, and the excellent award will be set for 100 to [-] people with [-] yuan each. I believe that such a Come, it will definitely attract many people to participate. Our traditional literature will naturally have successors."

Henry Zhang was shocked, and said: "Mr. Xiao, if you follow your method, you will need to pay 1.5 million Huaxia coins every year just for this game. You..."

Xiao Yunhai laughed and said: "You forgot, I am the richest man in the world. One billion or eight hundred million is not in my eyes, let alone this little money. This can be regarded as my little contribution to the development of our Chinese literature Right. However, I want to tell you in advance that money is no problem, but the competition will be organized and reviewed by the Huaxia Literature Association, and the workload is probably not small."

"It's a trivial matter. We have tens of thousands of students with literature coefficients from major universities to help, and there will be no problem. Mr. Xiao, my old man is inexplicably grateful for your generosity. On behalf of the Literature Association, I thank you."

After finishing speaking, Zhang Xuanlin actually wanted to bow to Xiao Yunhai, so scared that Xiao Yunhai quickly supported his shoulders, and said: "Mr. Zhang, please don't do this, I can't stand this."

The writers who were chatting in the venue all looked over at this scene, and their surprise was beyond words.

"What's the matter? Are my eyes blurry? How could Mr. 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 whispering there.

Naturally, the reporters would not let go of this scene, and the flash lights crackled on.

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 will come to participate, and the CCTV Science and Education Channel will also broadcast live.

This time, Minister of Culture Liang Qianqiu and Vice Minister of Education Fu Lianping came here.

As soon as the two entered the venue, they saw the scene of Zhang Xuanlin bowing to Xiao Yunhai. They stopped immediately and looked at each other, and they both saw surprise in each other's eyes.

Fu Lianping used to be a student of Henry Zhang, and knew his temper very well, and said: "It seems that Mr. Xiao Yunhai should have done something that is very beneficial to the Chinese literary world, otherwise, the teacher would never do this. "

Liang Qianqiu said: "Come on, let's go over and ask what's going on?"

The two stepped forward, greeted Henry Zhang and Wang Huatao, and after being polite, they asked about what happened just now.

Hearing that Xiao Yunhai wanted to hold the Huaxia Literature Contest every year, Liang Qianqiu said with a smile: "Mr. Zhang, you don't have to thank him too much. This kid has a lot of money to spend now, let alone 100 million, even [-] billion a year. He can still take it out."

Xiao Yunhai smiled wryly and said, "Uncle Liang, you don't mean anything. How can I say that this is also my contribution to the development of our Chinese literature, why does it taste so bad in your mouth? It seems to be what I'm begging for." You seem to be helping me spend money."

"Hahaha."

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help laughing.

At eight o'clock, the party officially began.

The two hosts stepped onto the stage, made an opening speech, and said: "In the past four years, our Chinese literature has developed vigorously, and a large number of outstanding literary writers have emerged. Next, we will enter the awards ceremony. The first The award is the Best Book Award. A total of 32 works were shortlisted. After more than 300 literary experts judged, the writers who won the third prize were Teacher Wang Yuzhi's "Spring Rain Collection", Teacher Lang Yudong's "Flying to the South Poetry Collection" and Chen Yadong "Unforgettable Fiction Collection", please invite three teachers to come to the stage to accept the award."

Amid the applause and cheers of the crowd, the three of them came to the stage to accept the award, and then each of them expressed their emotions solemnly 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 no laughs, and there are no good-looking programs. It's no wonder the ratings are high."

Just when Xiao Yunhai was complaining, Wang Xichen next to him won the No.1 Best Book Award for "City and Country".

The acceptance speech he delivered was also meaningless, and Xiao Yunhai felt a little drowsy after hearing it.

Chapter 1319 Award Ceremony

Fortunately, Xiao Yunhai's works were shortlisted for the next few awards, otherwise he would have fallen asleep.

"Congratulations to Mr. Xiao Yunhai for winning the No.1 Best Prose Award for "Haiyan"."

Xiao Yunhai stood up, tidied his clothes, and walked onto the stage with a smile on his face.

After receiving the trophy from the host, Xiao Yunhai looked it over carefully, and said: "I really never thought that one day I would stand in this hall of literature's highest honor to receive this award. I'm ashamed, since I was a child, nothing but In addition to writing prose when taking the exam, until today, I have only written an article like "Haiyan", which makes me feel a little bit ashamed. Thanks to the Huaxia Literary Association for awarding this award to me, especially Henry Zhang Teacher Lin also recommended it and two other works to the Ministry of Education, which made me feel very honored. Thank you everyone."

Amid applause, Xiao Yunhai took the trophy and walked down from above.

Xiao Yunhai didn't notice that Wang Xichen, who was next to him and only won the second prize, had a grim complexion, and there was a hint of hatred in his eyes.

Next came a poetry recitation organized by the organizing committee, which was Xiao Yunhai's "Haiyan", which made Wang Xichen's face even more ugly.

After the poem recitation, Xiao Yunhai won No.1 again without any suspense with Mr. Lu Xun's "Diary of a Madman", becoming the biggest winner of this year's awards ceremony.

This is not over yet, when it comes to the Best Poetry Award, Xiao Yunhai's "Young Huaxia Talk" is still the first.

When delivering his acceptance speech for the last time, Xiao Yunhai said: "I really don't know what to say, I can only say thank you for liking these three works I wrote. This is the third time I have been on stage tonight , and it must be the last time to be on stage. Taking this opportunity, I would like to announce one thing to everyone. In order to promote and develop our traditional Chinese culture, I discussed with Mr. Zhang Xuanlin about holding an annual work for young writers under the age of 35. Competition. For each genre of literature, first, second and third prizes and excellence awards will be selected. In addition to being commended, the winners can also receive cash rewards ranging from 500 to [-] million. I hope everyone can sign up to participate. The specific details will be announced on the homepage of the Huaxia Literature Association, thank you everyone."

Xiao Yunhai's words aroused applause and cheers from everyone.

Many writers who did not know why Zhang Xuanlin bowed to Xiao Yunhai finally understood the reason.

"Mr. Xiao is really bleeding a lot this time. It is estimated that holding this competition will cost at least more than [-] million yuan per year."

"No wonder Mr. Zhang bowed to Mr. Xiao. This is to thank him for his contribution to our Chinese literature."

"Mr. Xiao's actions this time are really great. This is really beneficial to the development of Chinese literature."

In the discussion of everyone, the best story award began.

Without Xiao Yunhai, Wang Xichen won No.1 again.

According to the usual practice, the end of the Huaxia Literature and Art Awards Ceremony is the performance time for writers. Whoever writes an excellent work can go to the stage and recite it in front of everyone.

If he is praised by everyone, his reputation will be greatly shaken immediately.

Not only that, but Li Jinwu, the vice president of the Huaxia Literature Association, would personally write a letter for the best person.

You must know that Li Jinwu's running script is well-known in the Chinese literary world. He is known as the great calligrapher who is closest to the calligrapher Wang Xizhi for decades. At the meeting, it was sold at a high price of 1000 million.

It is conceivable how attractive his words will be.

Therefore, those writers came to the stage to recite their favorite works, most of which were prose and poetry, and occasionally some short stories appeared, and the level was not very good.
