Chapter 237 Winners of the First Mao Dun Literature Award
December 5, Nanluogu Lane.
On a rare Sunday, Mike and Bai Ruoxue came to Fang Yan's house early in the morning. One was revising "Blood and Sand" under Fang Yan's guidance, and the other was tutoring Fang Yan one-on-one and learning foreign languages.
You must learn foreign languages carefully!
Fang Yan gave up his desk to Mike, and sat on the kang with Bai Ruoxue, facing each other, holding the manuscript of "Saving Private Ryan" in his hand. It was not long, with more than 100,000 words.
"Teacher Fang, this military novel is completely different from your previous "Operation Sword". It is full of humanistic care."
Bai Ruoxue turned to the last page of the manuscript.
“Because the genres are different.”
Dialect said that "Operation Sword" is a military fantasy that combines war literature and military literature, while "Saving Private Ryan" is similar to "Under the Mountain" "The Garland" is of the same type, a combination of war literature and reflective literature.
"There is also "Blood and Sand". Teacher Fang said that what I wrote is also a reflection on war." Mike interjected, "But Teacher Fang, I still can't figure it out. Risking the lives of eight people, Is it worth it to save Ryan alone? ”
"This reminds me of a very classic question."
Look left and right in Dialect.
Bai Ruoxue put down the manuscript and heard Teacher Fang say:
“A madman tied five innocent people to the train track. At this time, an out-of-control train was coming towards them. And it won't take long to run over them. Fortunately, you can pull a lever and redirect the train to another track.
But the problem is that the madman also tied one on the other track. Man, can you pull the lever?"
"Teacher Fang, is this the 'Trolley Dilemma'?"
Mike immediately thought of it.
“Yes, it’s the trolley dilemma.”
Dialect lets them make their own choices.
Should we save five or one?
Facing this big ethical question, Mike frowned, thought for a long time, and sighed, "I don't know how to answer this question, it's too difficult."
Then he sighed, "I understand what you mean. "
"So Teacher Fang wanted to avoid To avoid this ethical dilemma, a motive is given, that is, the military dispatched this 8-man team in order to maintain this 'lone survivor policy', and these soldiers have a bounden duty to obey orders..."
Bai Ruoxue suddenly realized the truth.
Mike nodded repeatedly, "Yes, that's right, there is a saying that has been circulating in West Point Military Academy, which is 'There is no excuse for execution.'"
Fang Yan turned around with a smile and asked Bai Ruoxue about the translation work.
"Teacher Fang, don't worry!"
"I will do my best to translate this manuscript!"
Bai Ruoxue held the manuscript with excitement in her eyes.
“I’ll help too.”
Mike handed over the manuscript of "Blood and Sand".
Fang Yan flipped through the pages for a while and met Mike's gaze, "I think you can take this as a Christmas gift and send it to the United States."
"Nais!"
< br>Mike waved his fist happily.
Fang Yan thought he would rush to mail it, but to his surprise, he actually wanted to wait until the translation of "Saving Private Ryan" was released and then mail it to Old Mike in the United States.
"The time is very tight, are you sure about this?"
"Yes, Teacher Fang!"
Bai Ruoxue and Mike looked at each other, feeling very confident.
The three of them chatted until noon. After eating a sumptuous lunch specially prepared by Yang Xia, Bai Ruoxue and Mike said goodbye and left.
Before leaving, Fang Yan gave each of them a sample magazine of "Flower City", which contained "The Great Master Huang Feihong".
"Teacher Fang, goodbye!"
"Goodbye! Be careful on the road!"
Watching the two people riding away from each other, Fang Yan clapped his hands, approaching the target of more than 9,000 paintings and calligraphy. , one step further.
He couldn't help but hum:
"I will first go to Xianyang to be the king, and then I will go to Xianyang to support you in the imperial court."
…………
On the second day, after a long period of selection for the first Mao Dun Literature Award, the list of winning works and writers was finally announced.
The names of "The Fission of the Qin Dynasty" and "Dialect" are impressively listed.
If we say that before the drama "Shang Yang" came out, some judges on the awards committee were still concerned about the issue of dialect inheritance.
After "Shang Yang" came out, there was no longer any worries or objections.
There is no doubt that all the votes from the awards committee went to "The Fission of Qin", and it was elected with a high vote!
In addition to "The Fission of the Qin Dynasty" in dialect, "Xu Mao and His Daughters" by Zhou Keqin, "Eastern" by Wei Wei, "Li Zicheng" by Yao Xueyin, "Spring in Winter" by Li Guowen, The works of six writers including Gu Hua's "Furong Town" also won awards.
The "Literary News", in addition to publishing the list of winning works and writers, also announced that the first Mao Dun Literature Award award ceremony will be held on the 15th of this month at the Great Hall of the People |
Once the winning works and the names of the writers were reported, they immediately aroused heated discussions in the domestic literary circles.
Major literary and artistic newspapers have reprinted this news.
Major literary and art journals are gearing up to set up a special introduction column for "winners" in the latest issue of the magazine.
At the same time, Fang Yan, as the award-winning author, also received a call from the awards committee, informing him to be ready to receive the award.
"Yanzi, congratulations!"
"Teacher Fang, congratulations!"
Since the list was released, Fang Yan has never been idle in the editorial office, no matter what Whether he is a colleague in the editorial department of "October" or a colleague in other magazines of Yanjing Publishing House, whenever you see him, you must say congratulations.
During the card game at noon, Lu Yuanchi praised him mercilessly.
“Yanzi has brought glory to our publishing house this time!”
“That’s right, Yanzi is now our trump card.” Zhang Shouren smiled and said: “What issue is missing? If you have a manuscript, you can ask him to make an appointment, and it will be right! "
"When the dormitory building over Madian is completed, it is best to prepare a small room specifically for Yanzi."
Tian Zengxiang grinned and said: "We will take turns blocking his door. , let him quietly write novels in the house. ”
"Old Tian, you have become a 'Tian Papi'!"
Fang Yan couldn't help but laugh, have you heard what others said?
"Hahaha!" In an instant, the whole hall laughed.
The Mao Dun Literary Award has been evaluated for some time. The topic of whether dialects can win has always been the focus of everyone in the society. Now the dust has finally settled.
Such a young winner of the Mao Dun Literature Award!
Everyone finds it a bit unbelievable when hearing this. Many people’s children are about the same age.
When you look at your own children and then look at the dialect, you instantly feel what it means to be "other people's children".
After the card game was over, Fang Yan took advantage of the fact that there was still some time during the lunch break and sneaked to the nearest coin-operated public phone booth.
Uncle Qin cannot listen to the call to Gong Zie.
"Hello, hello, I'm looking for Gong Qie."
"I'm her cousin. There's something at home that I need to tell her."
"Okay, I'll wait for a while."< br>
After a long time, the call finally got through.
“Hey!”
"Hey!"
Gong Qie's voice is as gentle as trickling spring water.
Fang Yan felt itchy in his heart, "Cousin, it's me."
"Ah, cousin, come find me to have sex~"
Gong Qie heard that it was his cousin who was looking for him She already knew that it was a dialect, which was the code for the two of them to meet.
The original discussion was about "cousin" and "cousin", but I strongly opposed it and had to overpower him on this!
“I care about Nongle, Nong knows how to cut it.”
The dialect is colorful.
The breath on the other end of the phone stagnated, and you could even feel the sound of Gong Qie's rapid breathing on the phone because of shyness.
More than ten seconds later, Gong Qiang replied coquettishly: "Non is going to die. If you keep talking nonsense, I will ignore you!"
"Ahem, I won't tease you anymore."
Fang Yan shared the good news of winning the first Mao Dun Literature Award.
“Ah, that’s great!”
Gong Qie was stunned at first, but was sincerely happy for him.
In previous letters between the two, dialects occasionally appeared between the lines, revealing worries that "The Fission of Qin" would not win the award.
"It doesn't matter whether my other works or even future works can win awards." Fang Yan said with a smile: "As long as this novel can win awards, I will be satisfied."
"Yeah."
< br>Gong Xie understood it heartily.
When the two were dating, Fang Yan confessed a lot to himself, including that he was a close disciple of Shen Yanbing, so he understood the position of "The Fission of the Qin Dynasty" in his mind.
Sharing happiness will bring you double the happiness, not to mention sharing it with Gong Qie, it will be double the happiness.
Gong Yan felt the excitement and ecstasy from the heart of Fang Yan, and Fang Yan could also find warmth and appreciation from Gong Yan.
After a while, the two calmed down.
"The filming of "Happy Bachelor" has been completed."
Gong Zie was not in a high mood, "Next, I have to prepare for "Under the Bridge"."
< br>Fang Yan couldn't help but be surprised that the "Under the Bridge" project has been restarted.
"Director Wu and Bai said that thanks to "Shang Yang", the trend has changed again, and the situation is conducive to "Under the Bridge."
Gong Jie said: "I had already thought about it. Once the movie was completed, Just go to Yanjing."
Fang Yan said with a smile. : "Come to Yanjing to see me, right?"
Gong Qian replied shyly: "You want to be beautiful, but that's not the case. I just want to see "Shang Yang"."
"You want to see "Shang Yang", but why don't I take you to see it?"
Fang Yan joked: "After all, you still want to come see me."
Gong Cong blushed, fiddled with the phone cord with his fingers, and sighed faintly, "But I can't go now."
"If the water doesn't flow towards me, I will swim towards the water."
Dialect said that Li Cunbao is currently writing the script of "Garland Under the Mountain".
When the time comes, I can definitely accept the invitation and go south by taking advantage of the Shanghai Film Studio’s script revision meeting.
"Really!?"
Gong Qie was surprised and happy when he heard that he could come to Shanghai again.
“Of course it’s true.”
Fang Yan looked very hurt, “In order to see you, I have come up with all kinds of ideas. Do you think I should be rewarded? ?”
“You still have the nerve to say that I haven’t punished you yet!”
Gong Qian laughed and scolded: "We agreed on the second half of the sentence in person, but in the end we gave the first half of the second half, and the second half of the second half!"
Dialect said: "Hey, reward. There is no conflict with punishment.”
The phone call lasted more than ten minutes.
It wasn't until Zhang Yu's call suddenly appeared on the other end of the phone that Gong Xi reluctantly hung up the phone with Fang Yan.
"Cousin, I'm dead, come and play when you have time."
"Sister Gong Cie, when will you have a cousin?"
Zhang Yu looked at Gong Cie and then at Zhao Jing.
"How do you want me to answer this question?"
Gong Nie rolled his eyes and showed his 100% acting skills, calmly dealing with the suspicions of his girlfriends.
Zhao Jing squinted her eyes, and as a married person, she smelled a strange and familiar smell.
