The audience applauded Yu Dong's answer, but Kamikawa Mahide was obviously not satisfied with this answer.
Kamikawa Masahide continued to ask, "Can I understand that you think the Nobel Prize for Literature is no different from other literary prizes? In "Aesop's Fables", there is a fox who cannot eat grapes, and treats the Nobel Prize for Literature,
Do you have the same mentality as this fox?"
After Kamikawa Mahide finished speaking, the host said, "Sir, each person can only ask one question. You have already asked a question, and YU has already answered you."
Of course, the program team hoped that someone would ask some more tit-for-tat questions, but they couldn't make it too obvious, so after Kamikawa Mahide asked the question, the director asked the host to stop it.
Of course Yu Dong knew what the program crew was thinking, and he was not annoyed. He just smiled and said, "The fox in the fable and I have one thing in common, that is, neither of us has eaten the grapes - if you compare the Nobel Prize in Literature to
The work is about grapes. But the difference is that I did not say that the grapes are sour. Only those who have eaten the grape Nobel Prize in Literature have a say in whether it is sour or sweet. Anyone who has not eaten it can evaluate it.
Whether it's sour or sweet, it doesn't make sense."
Having said this, Yu Dong turned to look at Oe Kenzaburo again, "I think that among all the people here, Mr. Oe Kenzaburo is the only one who is qualified to evaluate whether the Nobel Prize in Literature is sour or sweet."
When Kenzaburo Oe saw Yu Dong bringing the topic to him, he could only say, "In my opinion, if the Nobel Prize for Literature is compared to grapes, it has both a sour side and a sweet side. This person from Neon
Sir, I don’t know for what purpose you asked these questions, but your behavior makes me feel ashamed. You should not use an award to embarrass such an outstanding writer, and in fact, he is very different from this person.
The distance between awards may be closer than the distance between you and your university degree certificate. When you try to use an award to judge a writer, it proves that you do not know enough about literature. In this case, I think
, you can give opportunities like today to other friends who need it more. There are many friends who love literature more than you, but they have no way to come to the scene."
"I……"
Kamikawa Mahide wanted to say something else, but Oe Kenzaburo waved his hand and continued, "Please don't say anything like it's for me, that will make me feel even more ashamed. I suggest you read YU's works after you go back, and wait for you
After reading "Curse", "Old Book", and "Going West", I believe that you will also feel ashamed of your behavior today. At that time, you will realize that the person you are criticizing today is a man who is currently
A writer who made great contributions to human civilization."
After Oe Kenzaburo finished speaking, the applause at the scene became extremely loud, even louder than the applause just before Yu Dong finished speaking.
Yu Dong, who was sitting aside, did not expect that Oe Kenzaburo would say such an exaggerated statement.
Yu Dong had heard a lot of flattery, but this was the first time he heard such a flattering statement in public, especially the last sentence "a writer who has made great contributions to human civilization", which made Yu Dong
Dongdu felt a little ashamed.
The director in the studio couldn't help but applaud. If he didn't know something about Oe Kenzaburo, he would have doubted whether the Nobel Prize winner for literature had been bribed by the Deep Space Company.
Blow, you can't blow like this.
But this is good, at least the material is available. If Oe Kenzaburo's words are edited into the program, and in conjunction with the news that YU is going to publish a new book, the ratings of this program will definitely not be low.
In addition, in this way, their program team can also please the deep space company, and maybe there will be more cooperation opportunities in the future.
Nowadays, Deep Space Company has a lot of resources at its disposal and has signed many well-known stars. I heard that they are also signing some potential sports stars and are beginning to expand into various industries.
As long as you can build a good relationship with Deep Space Company, you will naturally have the opportunity to interview celebrities who have signed contracts with their company.
Kamikawa Shinhide was completely dumbfounded. He didn't expect Oe Kenzaburo, whom he tried so hard to protect, to speak so highly of Azuma. This was no longer the words of a senior evaluating a junior.
At the same time, after being scolded by Oe Kenzaburo, Kamikawa Mahide also lowered his head. At this time, he especially wanted to find a crack in the ground and crawl into it.
Kamikawa Mahide felt very aggrieved. He was obviously defending Oe Kenzaburo, but he fell short of Oe Kenzaburo. He did not have the courage to refute Oe Kenzaburo.
…
After Oe Kenzaburo finished speaking, although there were still a few questions left to ask, the host ended the final question session in a timely manner and announced that the recording of today's program had ended.
After the recording of the program ends, as a bonus, Yu Dong and other writers will sign some books, and the program team will arrange the whereabouts of these books.
The program team will take out some signed books and distribute them to the college students present. For the remaining books, they will hold a lottery on the Deep Space Tribe.
…
Not long after Yu Dong and the others left the ABC building, ABC's official account posted the news about the lottery.
ABC has really made a lot of money this time. The writers who participated in the talk show are very popular. In addition, most of them signed contracts with the Deep Space Company, so these tribes of ABC have all become popular in the Deep Space Tribe.
.
In addition, they will also release more than 200 signed books by various authors this time for netizens to draw.
That night, ABC's official account gained 90,000 followers, and the number of followers continued to rise, with the growth showing no signs of slowing down.
In addition to ABC, Hosseini's personal account has also increased by more than 30,000 followers, and the speed has not stopped.
Not only did Hosseini’s number of followers on his personal account increase by more than 30,000, but he also received two calls from the publishing house that afternoon.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! When he received the call, Hosseini was very surprised. He did not expect that the publisher could find his phone number.
Later I learned that these publishing houses had found him based on the information he had previously filled in.
Hosseini has been online for a long time, but he actually has no Internet experience. When he applied for a Deep Space Tribe account, he not only wrote down his real name, but also wrote down the hospital where he worked.
If someone wants to find him, they only need to call their hospital and ask for Dr. Hosseini, and the hospital staff will give them the phone number of Hosseini's office.
The two publishing houses had the same intention, hoping that Hosseini could expand this short article into a medium-length or even a full-length novel. They were willing to sign a contract with him before the work was completed, and provided him with various benefits to protect his writing.
Hosseini did have the idea of ​​extending this short article into a full-length article, but he did not know either publisher well. Out of caution, Hosseini did not immediately agree to them, but only told them that he would consider it.
After returning from get off work, Hosseini told his wife the whole story. After hearing this, his wife was very supportive of his writing career, but only if it did not affect his job.
Hosseini never thought about how much money he could earn. After all, he had a good family background and a good career, so an ordinary amount of money lacked the temptation for him.
What he longs for is the joy of sharing and the identity of a writer.
After dinner, Hosseini turned on the computer again and logged into the Deep Space Tribe.
There were many more private messages, but what was different from the daytime was that among the many private messages, one was pinned to the top.
“Can private messages also be pinned?”
Hosseini couldn't help but muttered that he had been playing Deep Space Tribe for a long time, but he didn't receive many private messages, so he didn't know much about Deep Space Tribe's private messages, and he had never seen a private message pinned to the top.
After taking a closer look, this private message turned out to be from the Deep Space Tribe official.
[Dear Mr. Hosseini, our company is very interested in your novel "The Kite Runner". Could you please provide a contact number so that we can contact you by phone. If you agree, just click on the private message to reply. 】
Seeing the content of the private message, Hosseini's heart beat faster.
Compared with the two publishing houses that contacted him during the day, Deep Space Company is definitely a giant, and the reason why his novels are famous is because of YU's appreciation, so he was very excited when he saw Deep Space's letter.
Moreover, this is a private message sent directly from the Deep Space Tribe official, so the possibility of fraud is very small.
Without much hesitation, Hosseini directly sent his home phone number to the other party in a private message.
The other party's reply was also very fast, and he replied in less than half a minute.
[Okay, received, the company will arrange professionals to contact you. 】
After receiving the reply, Hosseini browsed the website for a while, and then went to his study. During this time, he was actually preparing to expand "The Kite Runner" into a novel.
However, his work efficiency was very low during this period, and he only did a little bit every day. After what happened today, he suddenly became passionate.
About half an hour later, the phone at home suddenly rang.
My wife, who was watching TV in the living room, answered the phone, then covered the phone and shouted to the study, "Honey, I'm looking for you, come out and answer the phone."
Hosseini got up and walked out of the study and asked his wife, "Who is looking for me?"
The wife shook her head, "I don't know, he's a young man. He just said he was looking for you."
Maybe it was one of his patients, Hosseini thought.
Although it is rare for patients to call their homes directly, it is not impossible.
After taking the phone, Hosseini said, "This is Hosseini. Who are you?"
The person on the other end of the phone smiled and said, "Hello, Mr. Hosseini, this is YU. I'm sorry to bother you by calling you so late."
"YU?" Hosseini whispered.
When the wife on the sofa heard Hosseini's surprised voice, her eyes widened, and the meaning in her eyes was very obvious: Who are you talking about?
"Well, I'm YU. I asked the staff of the Deep Space Tribe to ask for your contact information." Yu Dong on the opposite side explained.
It’s really YU!
Hosseini took a deep breath, calmed down his excitement, and said casually, "I'm glad to receive your call, Mr. YU. Thank you for recommending "The Kite Runner". Thanks to you, so many people
People know this short article.”
Yu Dong said with a smile, "Gold will shine wherever it is buried. Even if I don't recommend it, it will be known to everyone sooner or later. What I do is just let people discover it earlier. I am calling you for the purpose
It’s very simple, on behalf of Deep Space Company, I want you to express your willingness to cooperate. If you have the idea to expand this short article into a novel, Deep Space Company is willing to help you complete everything other than writing, so that you can concentrate on writing.”
Hosseini looked at his wife and said, "Of course I hope to cooperate with Deep Space Company, and I am also willing to expand "The Kite Runner" into a feature-length novel. In fact, I am already doing this. Pick you up
Before the phone call, I was writing an outline of the story in the study."
"I'm very happy to hear such good news. I can't wait to see the novel come out. If you have time, I will let someone discuss the details of cooperation with you this week."
Although Hosseini was very excited, he still remained rational. When he heard what Yu Dong said, he asked with concern, "Excuse me, will our cooperation affect my job?"
Yu Dong laughed, "I can't give you a clear answer as to whether it will affect your job, but I believe that after the staff discusses the details with you, you will make your own judgment. In fact, objectively, we
Writers do not have any restrictions, so there is no situation that will affect their own work. But subjectively, it depends on you whether it will be affected."
…
After Hosseini hung up the phone, his wife, who had been holding back her voice, finally called out, "That was YU just now?!"
Hosseini nodded, "Well, didn't you hear everything?"
The wife said excitedly, "I didn't expect that I would actually talk to YU one day. My dear, will we have a chance to meet him in the future? Besides him, will there be a chance to meet Yuan and Hao?"
"Yuan and hao? Who are they? Are they also writers?" Hosseini looked confused. These two names felt strange to him.
"They are the male and female protagonists in the TV series "Love Song of Stars and Moons" which I have watched several times and cry every time. Don't you know, this TV series was produced by Deep Space Company, and I heard that YU is produced by Deep Space Company
One of the bosses, if you can meet him, you should be able to meet Yuan and Hao."
After hearing his wife's words, Hosseini couldn't help curling his lips.
That was YU, a world-class writer, and his wife actually wanted to meet two TV drama actors through him.
But seeing his wife so happy, Hosseini was also very happy. He smiled and said, "It should be okay."
The wife added, "Then do we have the opportunity to attend the Deep Space Annual Conference? Then we will be able to see a lot of stars."
"Uh... it should be okay."
