"The fifth-year detective master Vegeta comes with a new work. I didn't take it seriously at first. Oh, this person who writes detective novels can write science fiction again? Can't you just be your science fiction master? But I was quickly slapped
A loud slap, it turns out that detective novel writers can not only write science fiction, but also write it better than anyone else. Although after reading this book, I don’t want to admit that it is a science fiction novel, but it is actually a science fiction novel.
This is a science fiction novel. And the fifth-grade plant man seems to be a science fiction veteran. His diary-style writing technique is full of science fiction flavor..."
That night, such an article was published in the electronic newspaper "Science Fiction Events", and the author of the article was Li Honghan, a well-known writer in the Chinese science fiction circle.
Chinese science fiction has always been in decline. It started late and developed slowly. It was only after the decline of martial arts novels in recent years that the Chinese science fiction market gradually picked up.
Nowadays, there are more and more science fiction readers in China, but there are only a handful of good works. Seeing such a big piece of the cake being divided up by Europe and the United States, local literary workers in China are also a little unwilling.
But if you want to be an excellent science fiction writer and create high-quality science fiction novels, it does not mean that you can do it just by working hard.
Most of the young and middle-aged people of this generation have read martial arts novels or suspense mysteries since they were young, and some grew up reading romance novels. How could there be a large number of science fiction novel writers?
Without quantity as a basis, it will be difficult to improve quality.
In traditional literature, China has strong candidates every year. In the past two years, Zhuang Yu was likely to win the Nobel Prize almost every year.
But for science fiction literature, Chinese readers don’t have much hope. When the Nebula Awards and Hugo Awards are presented every year, the only ones they can support are foreign writers.
None of the jujube trees in China have any hope of becoming red.
It is said that literati are indifferent to each other, and Li Honghan's article this time praises "Flowers for Algernon" everywhere, and he behaves very generously and selflessly.
In fact, Li Honghan knows that the stagnant water of domestic science fiction is turbid and shallow, and it makes no sense at all for fellow science fiction writers to tear it apart. It is better to let big writers like Fifth Grade Vegetarian, who have their own traffic, come in and revitalize the domestic market.
By then, maybe Li Honghan can get a share of the pie. Of course, aside from these utilitarian purposes, he really does like this book.
As he said in his long review: Science fiction novels need to find values that are more fundamental than the popularization of science, and this book does it.
…
"This book is not serialized by our Sci-Fi World!"
Tang Jing shook his head with some regret. As the editor-in-chief of "Science Fiction World", he could certainly see the excellence of this book.
It's just... this is obviously a science fiction novel. Did the fifth-grade vegetative people not think about them at all?
It's a pity that they couldn't get the contact information of the fifth-grade vegetative person at all. Tang Jing used many methods to find the fifth-grade vegetative person.
At first, he approached Shen Jian, because Shen Jian had adapted the fifth-grade vegetative person's "Chameleon" at the party before. He must have contacted the fifth-grade vegetative person himself, but Shen Jian was tight-lipped about the fifth-grade vegetative person's information and only said that he was helping.
He asked, but after asking, there was no news.
In fact, Shen Jian actually asked him, but Zhang Zhong did not agree to contact "Science Fiction World" at that time.
Moreover, Shen Jian obtained Zhang Zhong's number that time, which was also a dereliction of duty on the part of the Literary Society. Later, Zhang Zhong also specifically told Fang Xingkai and others that he did not want such a thing to happen again, and disclosed his contact information without his consent. go out.
Tang Jing got no news from Shen Jian, and in the end he even shamelessly found Li Nan, the editor-in-chief of Provoking Literature.
The result is of course predictable. Li Nan was flirting with him, saying that he was asking for help, but in fact, he didn't tell Zhang Zhong about it at all.
However, things took a turn for the better the next morning.
The China Detective Master Award will publish a publication some time after the awards are awarded each year, which will introduce the relatively outstanding detective novels of the past year, focusing on several award-winning works.
As the winner of the Newcomer Award, Zhang Zhong has two books included in this "Chinese Detective Master Award Special Selection".
This is nothing at all. It is just an introduction to the book and a review. It may be a good thing for Zhang Zhong.
But this time the Chinese Detective Award made another suffocating operation. In the author column of the work, they did not write "fifth grade vegetative", but wrote the words "Zhang Zhong".
Someone immediately noticed the anomaly in the author column, and immediately realized that this should be the real name of the fifth-grade vegetative person. After contacting the ID of "writer Zhang Qianli", they basically confirmed that this was true.
Then the story that "the fifth-grade vegetative patient's real name is Zhang Zhong" spread like wildfire, and it suddenly became the hot news of the day.
Zhang Zhong only knew about this because of a phone call.
"Brother, tell me if you are a fifth-grade vegetative person."
On the phone, Li Yan's voice was a little trembling. Surprise, disbelief, and expectation were all mixed together, making this carefree girl who usually thought of herself as an old lady seem a little hesitant and uneasy.
Zhang Zhong was stunned for a moment, then frankly admitted, "Yeah."
After a long period of silence, Li Yan took a breath and said, "You fooled me so badly."
Zhang Zhong laughed and said, "I just didn't say it. I wasn't lying to you."
"Humph, if it weren't for the Detective Master Award, I would still be kept in the dark by you."
"Detective Master Award?" Zhang Zhong was a little surprised. He thought Li Yan had guessed it himself. From what she meant, there was other information.
"Don't you know? Your real name was signed on the special selection for the Detective Master Award. How else would I know?"
Zhang Zhong frowned. Things were not as simple as he thought. It seemed that besides Li Yan, others also knew his name.
"Okay, let's not talk about it for now, I have something else to do."
"Hey, I..."
Zhang Zhong hung up the phone, he was anxious to see what was going on with the China Detective Master Award.
Turn on the computer, you don't even need to search, there is the news "The real name of the fifth-grade vegetative patient" on the popular terms.
Zhang Zhong quickly clicked in, and then he knew the whole story. The Chinese Detective Master Award actually had his real name written on it!
Before he finished reading the news, Harvest Literature called.
"Teacher Zhang, are you a fifth-grade vegetative?" Lin Ping's surprised voice came from the phone.
As expected, Harvest Literature also guessed it.
Zhang Zhong sighed and said in a deep voice, "I hope your company can abide by the contract and keep it confidential for me."
