Chapter 293 So terrifying
In early September, Fang Yan “escorted” Yu Hua from Shanghai to Yanjing, and without hesitation locked him in the small dark room of October Literature and Art Publishing House. , whips and small benches serve.
Fang Xiaojiang, who came back from studying in the United States, is no longer satisfied with the fact that the donkeys of the production team can never rest.
Must be as strong as a plantation slave owner!
And Tian Zengxiang, Zhang Shouren and others are also willing to "help the tyrants do evil", especially after reading the new "Seventh Night" outline.
"Yanzi, your trip to Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai was well worth it!"
Zhang Shouren gave a thumbs up, "Not only did you edit such a good novel, but you also helped the agency discover another great talent!"
Listening to their compliments, Fang Yan smiled and said, "Good guys, this compliment of yours is a scam, it must be a scam."
Then, he turned his inquiring gaze to Sui Lijun.
“No, no, no, no, I mean there is no fraud.”
Sui Lijun replied: "Teacher Tian and Teacher Zhang just want you to treat me and celebrate your winning the award."
Fang Yan was greatly surprised, "Winning an award? What award?"
< br>"You are such a noble person who forgets things so much. You have forgotten everything in just a few months!" Tian Zengxiang rolled his eyes, "Of course it is the first National Outstanding New Poetry Award organized by the Writers Association!"
Once Reminder, you only know in dialect.
When I went to Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai, the jury congratulated the winners one by one.
After many layers of selection and discussion, 10 outstanding poetry collections from 1979 to 1982 were finally selected.
Ai Qing's "The Song of Return", Zhang Zhimin's "Motherland, I Tell You", Li Ying's "I am Proud, I am a Tree"...
Basically, the award-winning writers They were all seniors in the poetry world in the 1920s and 1930s, and he and Shu Ting were the only young faces.
“Once the list of winners comes out, you can be regarded as the representative of the younger generation of poets in the Chinese poetry world!”
Tian Zengxiang looked proud.
"No, not so."
Fang Yan waved his hand, more keenly aware of the significance of Shu Ting winning a mainstream award as a hazy poet than winning the award himself.
It means that after so many years of suppression and criticism, Misty poetry and Misty poets have finally been accepted and recognized by the mainstream poetry community.
"Yanzi is absolutely right."
Yan Ming's eyes were piercing, "From now on, the hazy poet can float from the bottom of the water to the surface, completely ending 'illegal publications' 'The status quo, like other poems, can be published in mainstream poetry magazines without restriction! ”
Fang Yan looked left and right and suggested:
"If that's the case, let's take advantage of the New Poetry Award and publish the recent good hazy poems in "October", as well as the social Do you want to think about it and come up with some A collection of hazy poems by people like Shu Ting, Mang Ke, Gu Cheng, and Bei Dao."
"What a great idea!"
Everyone agreed and immediately took action to spread it across the country. The popularity of the Outstanding New Poetry Award event.
But I never expected that the first awards event in the poetry world would go wrong.
Originally, it was not impossible to award first and second prizes among the 10 works. After all, whether poetry is good or bad is highly subjective.
If the award results are not controversial, not only is it impossible, but it is also a bit abnormal, making people wonder if there is something wrong with it.
However, what aroused people's discussion and confusion this time was not which film was good or bad, which film deserved it but did not, or which film received it but did not deserve it, but the rules that were initially announced only said The award for outstanding works did not say that the award would be divided into two categories.
What is even more difficult to understand is that the number of second prize winners is uncharacteristically shaped, showing an "inverted pyramid shape".
When it comes to awards, usually the lower the level, the more winners, and the higher the level, the fewer winners.
In this award evaluation, there were seven first prizes and only three second prizes. Cha Cha Fang Yan and Shu Ting both won second prizes.
As soon as this list was announced, there was a lot of discussion.
Obviously, there is something fishy here!
However, discussions remain discussions, and no official person has come forward to explain. This has made mainstream newspapers such as "Literary Newspaper" and "Guangming Newspaper" unable to stand it anymore. They all left their posts and questioned and criticized the first session. The results of the National Outstanding New Poetry Award.
Bai Ruoxue and Suzuki Yoko also complained about dialects. Why couldn’t their collection of poems "Love Life" win the first prize!
"There must be an article in this, but we have to investigate clearly who wrote the article."
Fang Yan changed the subject, "Instead of talking about these unhappy things, let's talk about my book "Midnight Fierce" Bell"."
< br>Suzuki Yoko took the hand and took a look, and immediately exclaimed: "Horror novel! You wrote a horror novel?"
Bai Ruoxue was surprised, and she unintentionally gave Teacher Fang a suggestion, but she didn't expect him He actually took it seriously.
“This is more than just a horror novel.”
Fang Yan showed a mysterious smile: "You will understand naturally if you look down."
Bai Ruoxue and Suzuki Yoko looked at each other, and with strong curiosity, they passed it around.
The background design is in the early 21st century, which is also an era commonly used in horror, science fiction and other novels, especially science fiction literature.
Science fiction writers all over the world believe that in the 21st century, society will usher in a technological explosion, technology will advance by leaps and bounds, and it will no longer be a dream for humans to break out of the earth and go into the universe.
So science fiction works such as "Blade Runner 2049", "2001: A Space Odyssey", "I, Robot" will be set in the 21st century, but what they may not have expected is - the 21st century Not the moment when humanity’s stars shine.
It is the era of comparison with the chaos of demons, just like I thought that the Tokyo Olympics was enough for the underworld, but I didn't expect that Paris would be more abstract!
The hot-eyed Smurfs, the threesome dreaming of Paris...
But no matter what, the dialect is also written in the 21st century.
The story is quite simple. High school students bought an untitled videotape at a roadside stall. Seven days after watching the videotape, those who watched it all burst into tears with horrified and even distorted expressions. The whole incident triggered a strong social panic.
Likewise, the police officers headed by Shi Qiang were alarmed.
The incident was too bizarre and strange, and there was no clue. In addition, the superiors were urging them to solve the case, so they had to ask for off-site assistance.
That is, my good friend who works part-time as an amateur detective, Luo Ji.
Yoko Suzuki raised her eyebrows, the classic "Holmes and Watson" partnership structure.
They worked together to investigate the source of the videotape, followed the clues, and found that the videotape was leaked from Neon.
After several twists and turns, under Neon's deliberate misdirection, the origin of the videotape was "ascertained" and the bones of the videotape's maker, Sadako Yamamura, who had special powers, were found.
That was an innocent girl who was thrown into a well and sealed with a stone. The resentment of the dead Sadako turned into a curse, cursing everyone who watched the terrifying video tape.
But this is not the case!
The horrific truth and survival behind the videotape attracted the attention of Bai Ruoxue and Suzuki Yoko like a black hole, leading them into a world full of horror and suspense. It was obviously frightening to watch, but the more frightened they were, the more they wanted to Read on.
It’s just a shaky mentality!
"Hiss~"
Suzuki Yoko couldn't help but be shocked when she saw Luo Ji digging deeply and digging out the tip of the iceberg of the truth about the "Spiritual Realm" project.
Bai Ruoxue was also deeply shocked by this sudden change of painting style, "Science fiction? Teacher Fang, this is still a science fiction novel?!"
Fang Yan nodded, "What do you think? Like?”
“It’s incredible!”
Yoko Suzuki couldn't help but sigh: "At first, I thought it would be a horror novel, but after reading the previous part, I thought it was like a detective suspense novel. I thought that like "ABC Murders", the video tape was left behind by a murderer. There were clues, but after reading the story, I realized that I guessed it wrong."
Then he said excitedly: "It's weird and weird. Just reading the words makes people shudder, but I never thought of 'Zhen'. son' His true identity is not a ghost, but a lethal virus cultivated in the computer world."
Bai Ruoxue shook her head and laughed: "Teacher Fang, this reversal is really unexpected."
Fang Yan said happily: "It's unexpected, but it's reasonable, isn't it?"
Suzuki Yoko was very curious, why can Teacher Fang use the elements of suspense and horror so well?
Dialect asked: "Have you heard of Hitchcock?"
"I have watched his movies many times!"
Yoko Suzuki responded immediately.
"Hitchcock made psychological thrillers and suspense films. He once said something called 'torture women'!"
Fang Yan said: "I don't know if you have noticed, but he Many of their films rely on scaring, torturing and killing women to create fear, whether physical or psychological.”
Yoko Suzuki couldn't help but look back. Not only Hitchcock's films, but most horror films seemed to focus on tortured women.
For example, "Psycho", "The Exorcist"...
"Teacher Fang, why is this happening?"
Bai Ruoxue couldn't help but ask.
“This is number one.”
Dialect analysis said: "When a woman plays such a weak and victim role, it is easy for the audience to resonate and sympathize with the pity. Moreover, the hysterical screams of women can make people feel more frightened. As for the second thing, women can be derivative. There are many social problems, such as family relationships, emotional disputes..."
"Si Guoyi!"
Suzuki Yoko thought it made sense, and his eyes lit up.
Fang Yan smiled but said nothing. Fortunately, "female boxing" was not popular in Japan at this time. Otherwise, based on what he just said, he might have received a "righteous female punch".
"Teacher Fang, can I lend this novel to..."
Before Bai Ruoxue could finish speaking, Fang Yan raised his hand, "I originally planned to leave it to you to translate."
"Really!"
The two looked at each other and smiled happily. Incessantly.
Dialect asked seriously about the time required for translation. At least translate the first part before visiting Japan.
“There should be no problem with this.”
Suzuki Yoko bowed deeply, "Teacher Fang, thank you for giving me this opportunity, I will try my best to complete it!"
