Chapter 477 Two semi-divine works, one hundred writers donate pens (Part 2)
When literary works and even scientific products first appeared, they will basically encounter criticism, because there are always some people in this world who don’t want their lives to suddenly change beyond expectations from the bottom of their hearts, and there are always some people who are rejecting new things.
The same is true for "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and "Journey to the West". When it was first released, there was a lot of controversy, especially the two novels were released simultaneously with the TV series, which was even more unwilling to some conservative critics, who believed that this was a "by-product of the pan-entertainment era."
However, it is still the same sentence. The true classics can transcend time and space. The two novels have experienced a hundred years in the same world and have become the name of the "Four Great Classics". Their light becomes more dazzling as time goes by, which shows the amazing charm of the works.
Therefore, after the novels "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and "Journey to the West" were published, they moved forward with their heads raised in their mouths. In just one year, the mainstream view of the academic community began to reverse, and finally, even the argument that "you must read "Journey to the West" must be educated, and you must read "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" must be read in politics and business."
Now, the two novels have been condensed into a divine style, and professional folk channels have taken the same path, becoming a must-read classic for cultural people. Various versions are released again and again, and some hardcover versions have become an excellent choice for gifts during festivals.
It is also because of the foundation laid by these two novels that "Water Margin" received many positive reviews as soon as it was released. A large number of keen experts and scholars felt the extraordinaryness of this work and actively participated in the promotion.
"Water Margin" has also become the only novel in the history of Liu Jingting's book promotion that has received one-sided praise during the serialization process.
Liu Jingting, blessed by the "Haven of Water Margin", naturally became the absolute focus of the literary awards conference on the day. Since Liu Jingting appeared in the conference hall, almost all men, women, young and old would come over to talk to him about it, not only about Water Margin. Almost all topics related to literature would be involved.
Liu Jingting wrote popular novels that the masses like, and the other hand wrote serious literature that literary researchers cherished as treasures. And both of them were extremely successful, so no matter which type of writer they were, they could find common topics with Liu Jingting.
There are five categories of awards in the National Literature Award Conference: the highest national literature award (only one person), the National Social Science Paper Award (1 first prize, 10 second prizes), the National Poetry Award (2 first prizes, 9 second prizes), the National Novel Award (3 first prizes, 20 second prizes), and the National Literature Progress Award (1 special prize, 3 first prizes, 46 second prizes)
At 10 a.m., the conference opened with the majestic national anthem. The Deputy Minister of the Publicity Department of the Central Committee, who presided over the meeting, first talked about the purpose of setting up the National Literature Award, pointing out: "The solemn rewards writers who have made outstanding contributions to the development of my country's literary cause, fully reflecting the Party and the state's high attention to the development of my country's cultural cause and the cordial care for the broad masses of workers.
I hope that the majority of cultural workers will take the winners as an example and strive to create literary and artistic works that are worthy of the times, and make greater contributions to realizing the dream of a strong country in culture and enhancing the country's soft power!"
Then, the national leaders presented awards to the winners.
Progress Award, Novel Award, Poetry Award, Social Science Paper Award...
None of the first four awards called Liu Jingting's name. But no one at the scene found it strange because everyone knew that since Liu Jingting appeared in the Great Hall today, there was only that award that belonged to him today.
At 11 o'clock, amid the warm applause of the audience, the No. 1 leader presented a certificate to Liu Jingting, who won the National Highest Literature Award, and shook hands with him to take a photo to express his congratulations.
This is the most suspenseless and well-deserved award on the day of the award ceremony!
Despite countless controversies and countless remarks, the works that have had a huge impact on China and the world have unshakable persuasion. Even "Liu Jingting's full-time black fans" have to admit it. No one can win this award except Liu Jingting.
Then Liu Jingting delivered a brief speech on the award. He mentioned the words he had been obsessed with: "It is incomplete and regretful that there are no literary works in this world!"
Then, the leaders of the Ministry of Culture delivered a speech. First, congratulate the winners, then express high respect and sincere greetings to the literary and artistic workers across the country, and finally begin to explain the great role of literary and artistic works in building advanced culture...
At 11:40, the conference ended successfully. After the Party and the State Leaders' Meeting, they shook hands with all the writers present. When they arrived at Liu Jingting, the leader actually mentioned "Water Margin" and asked Liu Jingting "whether he was going to write a work that forced the people to rebel."
Liu Jingting had to spoil the story in advance, roughly explained the outline of "Water Margin", and then analyzed in a conspicuous manner "forcing to Liangshan" and "limitations of peasant uprisings", both of which were the views learned in textbooks, so just use them here simply.
The leader nodded from time to time and recognized this "use stories to express his views on history", and then encouraged Liu Jingting to complete the novel well, and he would keep paying attention.
From Liu Jingting introducing the novel outline to the leader's encouragement, it lasted for nearly ten minutes. The writers and viewers who watched the live broadcast were inevitably shocked by this honor again.
At around twelve:30, the reception session of the leaders ended and everyone began to prepare to leave. Liu Jingting, who was sitting in the first row, was dragged and chatted by a respected old writer sitting next to him. After a few words, the old writer suddenly solemnly placed the pen presented by the conference in front of Liu Jingting.
When the writers passing by saw this scene, they immediately followed suit, put their pens on Liu Jingting's table, and nodded to greet them.
Liu Jingting stood up quickly, speechless, so he had to quietly nod and thanked everyone.
Writers who were about to leave from other routes saw this scene and turned around and walked over, so a team of gifted pens quietly lined up.
The reporters who were about to finish work saw this scene and immediately set up their cameras again and took out long guns and short cannons.
This shocking picture soon appeared in front of the audience.
If it is expected that Liu Jingting won the highest national literary award, then this "plot for hundreds of writers" is completely unexpected!
"I don't know anything else, I only know one thing. From today on, if someone wants to have something black Liu Jingting behind his back, he has to think about the consequences."
"This literary conference is the country's reputation for Liu Jingting, which marks that Liu Jingting will officially become the national 'cultural symbol'!"
In addition to these rational comments, more netizens chose shorter and clearer sentences to express their feelings:
"Liu Dawei!" (To be continued) r655
