The First Thousand Six Hundred and Fifty Chapters Are Happy and Sad
The acceptance speech prepared by Kong Rongxue this time basically revolves around his own work. Speaking of the overall standard, those who have heard it feel that it is not as real and touching as his acceptance speech at the Lawrence Awards. This is not to say that Kong Rongxue's level is limited, but that he kept his attitude of winning this award very low, as if he didn't want to be too public.
Kong Rongxue knew that the reason why he won the award this time was entirely due to the momentum of the Lawrence Award. If you are too high-profile in front of the national literary elites after winning the award, it is easy to offend people, but it will be detrimental to your future development in the literary world. So he chose a more conservative approach, mainly talking about his own works, which seemed very subtle.
Although Kong Rongxue wanted to show a low profile as much as possible, as the first and only Chinese who won the Lawrence Award, it is impossible for others to ignore it. Moreover, his award-winning work "One Lamp" is definitely the leader in physical book sales among the works of the same period. At the same time, people who like his works in the field have also read this book. The vast majority of people believe that even if there is no Lawrence Award, his book "One Lamp" is enough to win this year's Golden Plum Award.
As for those who haven't read Kong Rongxue's new book, their interest in this work has also increased greatly from the introduction of Kong Rongxue. As usual, the winning works of the Golden Plum Blossom Award will be sold nationwide after the awards are over. I believe that Kong Rongxue's work will definitely be a widely sought after work in the domestic physical literature market in the next period of time.
In the burst of applause, Kong Rongxue completed his acceptance speech... Next, the nominated authors in the field were excited again. Although the number of awards is one less, there are still a few, so as long as the nominees think they have a chance. And those writers who believe that their qualifications and level are far superior to other authors, even more believe that the next winner is themselves.
Sitting off the court, Wang Yingcai also looked at the presenters with excitement. He felt that he must hear the guy above say his name this time, and he will also become one of the big figures in the future of Chinese literature.
...
"Tonight! The second winner of the Golden Plum Blossom Award is the author of the work "Inner World" selected by Beidou Culture Publishing House, Xia Kang, pseudonym, Cong Er."
...
When Wang Yingcai heard this, his face suddenly became disappointed, and the author named Xia Kang, who was not far away, stood up excitedly, and waved to the crowd with bursts of cheers. In fact, for the writers in the field, it is not easy to nominate, and it is even more difficult to win the award. As long as he can become the award-winning author of Golden Plum Blossom, it means that his status in the domestic Writers Association will rise. And in the provincial Writers Association, they will become a big boss, how can they not be excited!
Xia Kang's acceptance speech was very exciting. He used a special perspective to cut into his creative career. This made the audience in the venue very interested in Xia Kang and his works.
It seems that this "Inner World" has also become a must-see target predetermined by many people.
Wang Yingcai listened to these applause and cheers, but his face was a little ugly again. He can say that he has no interest in the other party's speech at all, and even Xia Kang looks like a clown to him. I didn't expect that the Golden Plum Blossom Jury would actually award the Golden Plum Blossom Award to a clown.
Wang Yingcai had survived Xia Kang's acceptance speech, adjusted his mood again, and hoped that the presenters would pronounce their name. But when Wang Yingcai saw the presenter slowly opening the envelope, he still felt that his hands were shaking a little, and the feeling of fear and longing filled his brain.
...
"Tonight! The third winner of the Golden Plum Blossom Award is... Qin Fei, the author of the work "Comfortable with Plainness" selected by Changhua Literary Publishing House. Let us congratulate Qin Fei, who won the Golden Plum Blossom Award for the first time. grand prize."
...
A man not far away stood up at this time, and shouted to the sky with a look of surprise! When Wang Yingcai saw this, he was so angry that his whole body trembled... Because that Qin Fei he knew was an author from the same province as himself, and he was nearly a round younger than himself. Everyone is welcome.
Unexpectedly, Qin Fei was nominated for the Golden Plum Blossom nomination for the first time, and finally won the award, which made Wang Yingcai want to spit blood. How could he accept that a junior from the same province had climbed to the front. As long as he thought that he might have to look at the other person's face and speak at the Provincial Writers Association in the future, he would not be able to get angry.
Qin Fei happily appeared on the stage and completed his acceptance speech. Of course, the effect was not as good as the previous Xia Kang, but Wang Yingcai felt that what the other party said was stinky and long!
Don't you feel annoyed by the nonsense?
Wang Yingcai survived until Qin Fei stepped down, and took a few deep breaths again. Now he can only put his hope on the next few opportunities.
Although from the criteria of Golden Plum Blossom Awards, there is no way to predict the number of Golden Plum Blossom Awards 100%. But generally there are five winners, and it is rare that there are more than five or less than five. So whether it is for Wang Yingcai or other authors, I feel that there should be two more chances.
Wang Yingcai thought of this ring and looked around, there are not many authors who have competed with him in terms of qualifications, and there should be no more dark horses.
After regaining his little excitement again, Wang Yingcai felt that it should be himself this time, because there is no one here who can compare himself in terms of qualifications and level.
...
"Tonight! The fourth winner of the Golden Plum Blossom Award is the author of "Anecdotes in the Empty Valley" selected by Sihai Publishing House, Wang Meirou, pen name, Butterfly Rain. Let us congratulate Ms. Wang for winning the Golden Plum Blossom Award."
...
Wang Yingcai looked sluggish as soon as the presenter said this. Although he was a little worried about whether he would still be himself this time, when he really heard that he was not himself this time, his mood suddenly fell from the ground. to hell.
In fact, not only Wang Yingcai, but all the writers who were nominated but not yet awarded tonight, except for Zhang Yu, are all disappointed. After all, the number of places for the Golden Plum Blossom Award is only one less. Although there were five places in the past, there were also six, but there were also four. What if there were four places this time.
Wouldn't it take another four years to get a chance? And the next session may not even be able to enter the nomination, let alone the award.
The writers in the field are now happy, and a few are sad...
