Chapter 677 Not All Books Can Win So Many Awards

"The Da Vinci Code was nominated for the National Book Award, and the philatelic maniac is about to receive another award!"

"The best book of the year in 2019 was announced. Zhang Chu's work "Pi" was given the highest honor by the American Library Association. Such an award was given to a book that was not particularly thick and could be read almost in one go. In addition to the excellent content, is there any better reason?"

"Zhang Chu added new honors, and "The Da Vinci Code" was shortlisted for the National Book Award!"

"Knock on the blackboard and take stock of world-renowned literary awards to see how awesome Zhang Chu is!"

There are a lot of news about this on the Internet, and many accounts have begun to popularize it for netizens. What is this award? Is it valuable?

Simple popular science can get many clicks, turning gold v into red v, thus charging high advertising fees, which is simply too cost-effective.

Although "The Da Vinci Code" has been released for almost a month, news still comes out from time to time, making netizens shout 666!

The behind-the-scenes production team was exposed a few days ago and today it was shortlisted for another literary award. The media hoped that such news would be available every day so that they could attract attention smoothly.

It's strange that netizens are all tired of the old and new, but their enthusiasm for "Da Vinci Code" has not yet subsided. If it were anything else, it would probably be sprayed on the screen.

Dai Rui did not blindly believe in the reports of these domestic news media. He searched on foreign websites and confirmed the authenticity of the news.

As a hardcore in Zhang Chu's fan group, his spontaneous job is to edit all the encyclopedia information of Zhang Chu. Although the staff of Qiandu and Hanlin Culture Media Company will do this job, they are definitely not as careful and responsible as he does.

"Congratulations to Boss Zhang Chu, you won another award. It would be great if you could win this time!"

After sharing the news screenshots in the fan forum, Darry found that there were already many similar posts, but his next thing was to edit the information and add the nomination for the National Book Award in the winning record column, hoping that this nomination can be changed to the winning award in the future.

At this time, Zhang Chu's encyclopedia directory had already gathered a lot of honors. From the first place, "Detective Sherlock" won the Best Fan Work Award in "Detective Sherlock" to the time when "Bird Pi" won the Gold Award in China's Good Literature, it was out of control since then!

Zhang Chu himself may not know that his works have won so many awards. He has collected all the awards of Zhang Chu, both of which are big and small, on the Internet.

Rather than saying that Zhang Chu is a prize-gathering maniac, it is better to give this name to his fans.

The most important thing is of course the Booker Award won by "The Fantasy Drift of the Young Pi" in the UK. This is the highest award in the English literature industry, and major domestic news has been reported!

What are the Whitbrad Best Work of the Year Award, The Guardian's Best Work of the Year Award and nominated for Carnegie Literature Award, German Youth Literature Book of the Year Book, Bistoy Best Work of the Year Award and is the youngest winner of the award, the Irish Award of the Year Award, Dublin Literature Award, the "Parents' Choice" Book Gold Award, Publisher Weekly Best Book of the Year, book-sense website's Best Book of the Year, Kirks Review's Best Youth Book of the Year, Library Journal's Best Book of the Year...

The names of these awards seem confusing, and most of them have never been heard of.

Not all works can receive so many awards like "Pi" and "Da Vinci Code"!

Now there is another one here, and it is the National Book Award, which is very important. Derek happily edited it under the Booker Award, so that these two names can be next to each other.

"What are the awards next? The Allan Poe Award from the American Detective Writers Association should be given to "The Da Vinci Code", otherwise there will be a shady scene. In what month will the Dagger Award from the British Crime Writers Association be awarded? Maybe there will be a chance. The British like Zhang Chu so much, and the sales and evaluation are very high, so there will still be a chance."

Dai Rui went from a novice to a knowledgeable and knowledgeable man now. He was able to recognize all kinds of awards in the world because he was influenced by Zhang Chu.

He also plans to set up a Zhang Chu fan group on Facebook. Although there are already many such groups, they are all entertainment-oriented and have not really played a role!

In Darry's plan, readers from all over the world spread the honors, sales or news received by Zhang Chu's works in their own country, and summarized and published them by an account.

After all, a person's power is weak. Literary awards in many countries are similar online, and only local people know it.

Simply put, Zhang Chu has won more than just this honor in the past two years, but this is the most found. After all, Dari can't understand the rest of the language.

These news or honors are not the kind that needs to be updated every day. They may not be encountered once a year or two years. Just search them regularly!

“This idea is pretty good.”

Readers like a book, sometimes they love the author, and they also care about the sales and honors of the book. They will be excited as the sales volume increases greatly, and will cheer as the works win awards.

But Dari looked at the only award in the Chinese circle and felt it was really eye-catching!

If you want to say, Zhang Chu has also written many excellent works. Although most of them are bestsellers in the public category, there are also relatively profound works such as "The Fifteenth Year of Wanli".

But in the award column, there is still only one good Chinese literature gold medal!

This award was won by Zhang Chu during his Little Transparent period. After he became famous, he did not have any nominations in major domestic literary awards, let alone win some results.

The greater the achievements Zhang Chu has made overseas, the more it makes the media and netizens stand up for him.

These excellent works have been ignored in the country, as if they do not exist!

It’s all in the bookstore, it’s all occupied by major sales lists on the website, and it’s the top Douban Reading Ratings, but there’s no award.

Let’s talk about the Lu Xun Literature Award and the Contradictory Literature Award. There are no Feng Mu Literature Award, Spring Literature Award, Lao She Literature Award, and Zhuang Chongwen Literature Award. Even the JD Literature Award directly ignored Zhang Chu!

The so-called JD Literature Award is a literary award organized by JD Group. There are five awards in total, namely the Domestic Writer Works Award, the International Writer Works Award, the Traditional Culture Book Award, the Annual Children's Picture Book Original Works Award and the Annual Science Fiction Book Award.

The single prize is as high as 1 million yuan, which is the highest prize selection activity for all awards in China!

This award is a good candidate for online voting, and it will also refer to the sales and influence of the works, but Zhang Chu has been ignored for two consecutive years.

His works such as "Ghost Blows Out the Light", "Da Vinci Code" and "The Legend of Wukong" always firmly occupy the weekly list and the top ten monthly list. The sales volume on JD.com alone has hundreds of thousands of copies, but they still cannot be favored.

When the Wenjin Book Award was announced some time ago, Zhang Chu's fans were protesting. "The 15th Year of Wanli" clearly surpassed the winning works in all aspects, but they didn't even get the nomination!

The Wenjin Book Award is a public welfare book award selected by libraries across the country, readers, experts and media under the advocacy of the National Library. Many best-selling books have been included, and many popular science works have also been included.

The so-called reader voting is a joke. The 50 works with the highest voting of readers are included in the list, and the judging committee will select ten works from them.

Dai Rui doesn't think that the votes of these people are weak. At the beginning, they canvassed on forums, post bars, and Weibo, but in the end they didn't even enter the top 50 of the votes. This naked dark curtain is heartbreaking.

If these selections disappoint netizens, what is even more disappointing is the government awards such as the Five One Project's Excellent Book Award, the National Book Award, and the National Bestseller Award!

This type of award should have been fair and transparent, and Zhang Chu has also become the business card of Chinese writers overseas, but it still has no results.

Although Little Lizi has been with her for a long time, she has at least been nominated and has not been completely ignored by the Oscar judges.

But Zhang Chu is not even qualified to run with him now, which is really miserable!

As a fan, I am full of expectations again and again, but I am always disappointed.

He now has no extravagant expectations for Zhang Chu in domestic awards, and his only extravagant hope is to continue to maintain business.

At least at this year's annual writers' meeting, Zhang Chu will dominate the audience, with so many best-selling books on his side. That time, he really spoke with sales and revenue, and he would not be damaged no matter what!

...

Compared to the excitement of readers, Zhang Chu himself is much calmer.

Actually, I had expected such a result. He won so many awards abroad, not because he had no secrets in foreign literature awards, but because Random Bookstore has very strong public relations skills.

The domestic Nanhai Publishing Company is just a first-class publishing house, and most of them are commercialized popular books, and there is little say in the traditional literary world!

This can hardly help Zhang Chu any help.

Random House is a giant in English-speaking countries. Whether it is the United Kingdom, the United States, Canada, and Australia, countries are within their sphere of influence, at least they can prevent Zhang Chu from falling during the nomination stage.

There is still a big difference between large companies and small companies, especially at this time, it can be easily seen!

This nomination is just the first part of the Long March, not to mention that "The Forest of Norway" is about to be released, which is the work that can truly sweep away various literary awards.

There is no elusive maze, no Kafka-like metaphor, and there is no incredible plot. It just uses calm language to tell you about youth, experiences, experiences and feelings from the youth era!

Although Zhang Chu is still a serious young man with a good age, he has already spent his youth in his previous life, so this feeling is quite special.

He can feel the taste of youth passing away, and he can also taste the mood of boys and girls in adolescence.

"All the preparations are ready at present, so let's start writing."

It is better to choose a date than to meet the date. It is not a solution to drag it down every day, so I simply start writing.

[At 37, I was sitting upright on the Boeing 747 passenger plane. This huge plane was diving through thick dark clouds and preparing to land at Hamburg Airport.

The cold rain in November made the earth misty, making the renovation workers wearing raincoats, the flying flags and BM billboards on the uniform airport building. All of this looked like the gloomy background of Flanders Pyri. Alas! We are here in Germany again.]

The first chapter is about the middle-aged male protagonist Ning Yuan who came to Germany again after many years. He heard the familiar song "The Forest of Norway" by the Beatles at the airport, which evoked his long-lasting memories.

According to the timeline of Zhang Chu's reset version, the timeline of the 37-year-old protagonist Ning Yuan was in 2019, and when he was 20 years old, it was in 2002.

When it comes to 2002, many people may think that it was ten years ago, but it is actually nearly twenty years away, and time passes very quickly!

[Even today, eighteen years later, the grassland scenery is still vivid in my mind. The drizzle that lasted for several days washed away the dust accumulated on the bare surface of the mountains, and a deep blue rippled out. The October wind made the grass sway left and right, and the narrow and long clouds snuggled tightly against the blue sky like frozen. The sky is high on the top. Just stare at it for a while, and you will feel pain in your eyes...]

The deepest thing Ning Yuan remembers is the grassland scenery, but there is no sign of him and his girlfriend Du Ran on the grassland.

My lover who was young, his voice, appearance and smile gradually faded into his mind. It took a long time to recall her face, and it was getting longer and longer.

This is probably how it feels when you come to a familiar place. After you come to a familiar place, memories slowly surge out like springs!

Ning Yuan promised Du Ran to remember her forever, but his memory became more and more blurred. In order to keep this promise, he chose to use words to write this article.

This technique is actually very common in literary creation. It simply creates a purpose in the form of first-person self-narration, and then starts from the original place.

In fact, from the content of this first chapter, we can see that the love between them has not continued. So what happened in the middle?

Why would you rather say that Du Ran has never loved him? It is obvious that the two are lovers?
Chapter completed!
