Chapter 350 Nomination for the Nobel Prize in Literature! A Chinese writer who has been enshrined in the palace of literature! A brand new era!
Since ancient times, many talented people have been romantic.
Although many times, Jiang Hai treats his partners and members of the opposite sex as friends.
But
The speaker does it unintentionally, but the listener does it intentionally.
The age of early twenties is the best time to pursue love. It is true that gentle ladies and gentlemen are fond of marriage, but there are talented people in every generation, and there have been many talented people since ancient times
How can a handsome gentleman not deserve the heart of a young girl?
Regardless of talent, Chen Hanying actually admires a person like Jiang Hai.
Although this person is usually a bit informal and carefree
But there is a temperament about him, a temperament that makes people want to get close to him.
"This necklace is not bad." After Jiang Hai bought the fabric bracelet for 12 yuan at a roadside stall and put it on her snow-white neck seriously, Chen Hanying sorted out her melancholy emotions, and her eyes once again revealed a little... Calmly, "The animation film and television production project of "Dragon" has been approved, so the studio should continue with it."
"It should be the film and television production of "The Three-Body Problem"?"
Standing up from the director's seat, Chen Hanying walked towards the office of the head of the animation rendering department.
Pass through employee workstations.
Employees of both the same and opposite sex nodded in her direction in a friendly and polite manner:
"Sister Hanying."
“Hello, Sister Hanying~”
Looking at this young and beautiful, graceful and talented CAFA school beauty, while everyone cast admiring glances at her, many people felt puzzled:
"Why is Director Chen Hanying always so committed to adapting the works of Teacher Jiang Hai?"
"From "Butterfly Lovers" to "Dou E", and from "Dragons" to "The Three-Body Problem", it seems that Director Chen Hanying submitted the project application to the leadership against all objections."
Someone said:
"Teacher Jiang Hai's work itself is excellent enough, and its work itself is very suitable for being adapted from comics into film and television works. Whether it is "Dragon" or "The Three-Body Problem", if the comic adaptation is successful, how much discussion and controversy will it cause, Don’t talk about China, even if you look at the whole world, where can you find animation works and film and television IPs that are so suitable for adaptation?"
Of course, some people think:
"Excellence in works is one thing."
"But in my opinion, the most important thing is a person like Teacher Jiang Hai. I have long heard that Director Chen Hanying and Teacher Jiang Hai have a close relationship. Although the relationship is ruthless, the flowers are falling apart."
Speaking of this, it seemed as if he remembered something.
A colleague who was sitting at the workstation discussing asked a rosy-cheeked girl by the window:
"Hey Zhang Lingyun, you came to the studio relatively early. I heard that you worked as Mr. Jiang Hai's personal assistant for a while."
"What kind of person is Teacher Jiang Hai?"
What kind of person is it that can make such a talented woman, whom Central America has rarely encountered in decades, be so devoted and superior?
Others may not know, but Zhang Lingyun of the animation rendering team.
Should it be more or less clear?
I heard that Zhang Lingyun’s tutor had sexually harassed her. Teacher Jiang Hai spoke up and out of anger, directly took the tutor to court
Teacher Jiang Hai, what kind of person is he?
Facing inquiries from colleagues.
Recalling the past, Zhang Lingyun smiled at the corner of her eyes, but she couldn't help but feel nostalgic in her words:
"Although he looks bohemian on the outside, he is actually a very kind person in his heart."
The wind blew up and the roc soared ninety thousand miles.
For Jiang Hai, Chenghai Theater Academy is just his starting point, not the end of his life.
In the blink of an eye, half a year has passed.
It has been seven months since the World Science Fiction Essay Contest came to an end.
Jianghai has not disappeared.
On the contrary, Jianghai has been extremely active in the past six months.
In the Asian literary world, there are actually many great writers, such as Lu Xun and Rabindranath Tagore. For their respective countries, these writers are well-deserved literary giants. They have promoted the historical process and development of their country's literature.
Look at China, especially the younger generation.
There are also more and more young people, benefiting from Jiang Hai's influence, starting to embark on the path of literature.
"I wish Jiang Hai could fight all the way from Chenghai Drama Academy and finally reach the stage of world literary history"
"How am I worse than him?"
"Why can't I?"
With the encouragement of the Ministry of Culture and Propaganda, a wave of "learning from Comrade Jiang Hai" started in China.
On the street.
In the bookstore.
In the alley.
Slogans about promoting Jianghai can be seen everywhere.
But what is puzzling is that even in China, such a high-profile publicity and commendation has been carried out, but Jiang Hai himself
But you have always been abroad?
"Why hasn't Jiang Hai come back yet?"
In the seven months since the World Science Fiction Essay Contest ended, Jiang Hai has won the Hugo Prize for Literature in the United States, the Nebula Prize for Science Fiction in Japan, the Prix Goncourt in France, the Booker Prize in the United Kingdom, and the Goetze Literature Prize in Northern Europe. As a prize winner, he is active in various universities in the West.
In the past six months, apart from recuperating and taking care of my body.
Jiang Hai began to hold his own personal lectures at the University of Cambridge, the University of Manchester, the Ecole Polytechnique, and Stanford University.
Oxford University, book signing event.
There was a queue like a long queue in front of the iconic Bodleian Library.
In this team, there are men and women, black and white. Although these readers come from all over the world and have different skin colors, they all have an extremely excited look on their faces without exception:
"Jiang Hai is my favorite writer, bar none!!!"
"I have been waiting for a long time, and today, Teacher Jiang Hai finally came to our Oxford University"
Which Asian writer would you say has the greatest influence on European society?
In fact, this is not easy to evaluate
Extending the time span and looking at the history of world literature, there are still many famous Asian writers who have considerable influence in the European and American literary circles.
For example, Ryunosuke Akutagawa, Rabindranath Tagore, Yasunari Kawabata, and Mr. Lu Xun.
Even though these literary masters who influenced the process of Asian literature also have considerable influence in the European and American literary circles.
but!
These writers are all deceased.
In other words, their era is over.
If we want to select an Asian writer who is the most famous in the Western literary world, we must add a premise on this basis, that is, he must still be alive in the world.
Five years ago, everyone would select Haruki Murakami, a writer from Japan.
Five years later, that is, now, everyone will only select one writer from China——
That is Jianghai!
You want to ask what Jiang Hai’s masterpieces are?
It may be difficult to list them all with one hand. Just give a lot of examples, such as:
"Alive" is the pinnacle of China's avant-garde documentary literature, the pioneer of the Blizzard Villa killing model, "No Survival", a masterpiece of authentic reasoning, "Murder on the Orient Express" about legal principles and human feelings, a masterpiece of healing, and a paean to human courage. Literary reading "The Old Man and the Sea", lectures "The Sun Also Rises", which describes the coexistence of despair and hope, confusion and decadence, subverts the history of modern science fiction and claims to have conquered the "Fermi Paradox" in the science fiction series "Three-Body 1: Once Upon a Time on Earth" and "Three-Body 2: Darkness" Forest" "Three-Body 3: Death Eternal Life".
These are just the best-selling literary books in Europe.
Do you want to count the best-selling literary books in Asia? Just like "Disqualification in the World", "Su Yuan", "The Melting Pot", "Xu Sanguan's Story of Selling Blood", "Dragon Clan" and so on.
I just don’t dare to think deeply about it!
Before the emergence of Jiang Hai, the best-selling book record holder in contemporary literature was J.K. Rowling, a female writer of adventure and fantasy literature from the United Kingdom. Her world-best-selling series of books "Harry Potter" is said to be the best-selling book in the world in more than 30 years. Year, cumulative sales exceeded 500 million copies!
Before Jiang Hai appeared, everyone thought that the sales record set by JK Rowling would never be broken!
After all, the "Harry Potter" series is a super IP created by the British nation that sells well all over the world!
An individual writer wants to fight against the same country on his own?
How is this possible!
However, after Jiang Hai appeared, Jiang Hai proved it with his actual actions
Fight against an entire country with your own strength?
How is this impossible?
According to incomplete statistics from the World Library Collection, thanks to the promotion of the World Science Fiction Essay Contest, within half a year, the "Three-Body" series of books, namely "Three-Body 1: Earth's Past" and "Three-Body 2: The cumulative total sales of the three volumes of "Dark Forest" and "Three-Body 3: Death Eternal" has exceeded 180 million copies.
In addition, "No Survival", known as the pinnacle of undergraduate reasoning, has sold an astonishing 120 million copies worldwide.
For science fiction series and mystery series alone, the total sales of author Jiang Hai in these two categories have exceeded 300 million copies.
Among them, there is also a short masterpiece "The Old Man and the Sea" that won Jiang Hai the French Goncourt Literary Prize. With the joint efforts of the education circles in Asia and European readers, the total number of "The Old Man and the Sea" Sales reached an astonishing 96 million.
Other writers can have a best-selling book with sales exceeding 1 million copies, which can be regarded as a masterpiece.
The latest chapter of this book
Take a look at the 16-9 book bar!
But here in Jianghai, if the sales volume is only 1 million copies
It doesn't even deserve to be on the table?
In addition to the works mentioned above, the "Dragon" series has sold 68 million copies in Asia, "Alive" has sold 26 million copies in China, and "Disqualified" has always dominated the Japanese bestseller list. The founder of the "decadent" literary genre, his total sales in Asia have exceeded 48 million copies.
For ordinary writers, the elusive figure of [500 million] is a sales record that is difficult to achieve in this life, and even in the next life, and the next life, and the next life.
For Jiang Hai, the number [500 million] does not even need to count all the works under his name, just add a part
Has it been broken easily?
It's like showing great reverence.
Students lining up in front of the Bodleian Library at Oxford University are talking in an incredible tone:
"The most terrifying thing is that even with a nationwide effort to create IP, it took JK Rowling seventeen years to reach the sales record of 500 million copies from zero!"
"And Teacher Jiang Hai, he broke through from zero copies to 500 million copies. He broke this record——"
“It only took three years!”
"It only took him three years!"
A book, especially a classic literary reading, needs time to accumulate before you can taste the charm of the work itself.
In other words, the longer it lasts, the better its reputation will be.
In three years, the total sales volume reached an astonishing 500 million copies, setting a new best-seller sales record in the history of world literature.
If this is given to Jiang Hai ten years, or even seventeen years
God knows what kind of glorious myth Jiang Hai will create in the future?
"The era of JK Rowling has passed, and now comes——"
"This is the era of Jianghai!"
He never looked down upon or ignored anyone because of his own achievements.
Oxford University Library.
on site.
Jiang Hai signed his name carefully and carefully to every reader who came, and politely showed his kindness to each reader:
"Hello."
"Hello~"
On the other side of Oxford University, Princess Gwen, who came to the scene with Jiang Hai, was being interviewed by domestic media.
When asked by reporters:
"Your Majesty Elizabeth, what is the deepest impression that Mr. Jiang Hai has left on you? Can you tell me briefly?"
First, he's hard.
Secondly, he is very long.
But having said that, how could Jiang Hai, a scholar with such a thin body, persist for so long
This is when Gwen gets the wrong idea and her thoughts start to wander.
"Your Highness Elizabeth?" Looking at Gwen who was silent, the reporter straightened the front of the car and reminded again, "Can you briefly tell me how you feel?"
"Jiang Hai left the deepest impression on me." Gwen thought for a while, and as if she hadn't come back to her senses, she spat out a sentence for no reason, "I think Jiang Hai has really good physical strength?"
"Huh?" The reporter looked confused, with a big question mark on his face, "What exactly are you referring to? I don't quite understand"
"What I mean is." Realizing the faux pas in her words, Gwen came back to her senses and started to make up for it a little awkwardly, "Mr. Jiang Hai can just write a book and stay in a room for several months. I go out to create day and night, this kind of professional spirit and attitude——"
“It’s really worth learning from”
I don’t know why, but the reporter who asked the question looked at Her Royal Highness Elizabeth in front of him. He always felt that the current Gwen was in contrast to the former Gwen
A little different?
Others couldn't detect this feeling, but he could feel it when he was talking to Gwen at close range.
What's the difference, you ask?
In his opinion, Gwen's change is somewhat similar
The transition from girl to woman?
The 20-year-old Princess Gwen has lost her youthfulness of seventeen or eighteen years old, and while maintaining her youthful vitality, has she gained some maturity out of thin air?
Although she still looks beautiful and charming at this moment, her speech and behavior have begun to bid farewell to the ignorance and ignorance of the past, and have begun to become mature and calm
In other words, is she more of a complete woman now?
"Why does a girl in her early twenties give me a sense of maturity that I haven't seen for a long time?"
"Why does Gwen, who is not yet married, have a flush on her face that is not for her age?"
Looking at the holy and noble His Highness Gwen.
The reporter was puzzled and saw him shaking his head to get rid of the distracting thoughts in his mind:
"Isn't it normal for a daughter of the royal family to mature earlier?"
"I think this must be my misunderstanding."
Time, like quicksand, always slips away quietly.
In the blink of an eye, another three months have passed.
As Jiang Hai's reputation further expands in the Western literary world, the European Book Exhibition Hall officially recognizes Jiang Hai as a writer from China——
Entered the European Writers Hall of Fame!
In the same month, the selection for the quadrennial Nobel Prize in Literature, under the spotlight, finally began at this moment.
Sweden, Karolinska Institute Auditorium.
When the judges from Europe announced the nominees for this session of writers shortlisted for the [Nobel Prize for Literature]:
"Italian writer, Federico."
"Japanese writer, Haruki Murakami."
"Chinese Writer, Jiang Hai"
When a writer from China became the first and only Chinese writer in history to be nominated for the Nobel Prize in Literature.
When the news spread back to the country.
Leaders of the cultural and publicity departments, including Tiening, chairman of the Chinese Writers Association, and even domestic readers.
In an instant, it boiled:
"Ten years!"
"We have been waiting for this day for ten years!"
"The literary world has a dragon."
