Using 30,000 points to draw a book, Zhang Zhong had great hopes for this draw.
And this time the lottery did not disappoint Zhang Zhong. When the system reported the two words of the book title, Zhang Zhong felt that the 30,000 points were absolutely worth it.
If someone asks Zhang Zhong which novel he thinks is the best, he may not be able to answer at the moment because there are so many good works.
But if someone asks him what is the most beautiful novel, a picture will immediately appear in his mind.
Clear streams, smooth cobblestones, towering white towers, and stilted buildings of different shapes.
That's right, it's "Border Town" by Shen Congwen.
The book "Border Town" does not read like a narrative novel, but more like a long poem. Shen Congwen uses poetic language to unfold a beautiful picture of Western Hunan for readers, with the melodious crow of the oriole, The dense and melodious chirping of insects, the beautiful dusk, the silvery moonlight, and the wonderful scenery like flowers are so beautiful that they make people yearn for them.
But if it were just like this, then Zhang Zhong would never think it is the most beautiful novel.
The beauty of "Border Town" lies not in the scenery, but in the characters. In the Chadong written by Shen Congwen, the folk customs are simple and honest, without talking about hierarchy or utilitarianism. People treat each other sincerely. The relationship between grandfather and Cuicui's ancestors and grandchildren Love, the love between man and woman between Nuosong and Cuicui, the brotherhood between Nuosong and Tianbao, are all so beautiful.
Chadong is like a utopia uncontaminated by the outside world.
Zhang Zhong was able to get this book, and he felt extremely lucky.
Then he felt that the word "lucky for three lives" was quite appropriate when applied to him.
Zhuang Yu and Wang Yi suddenly fell silent. Liu Yuan wanted to cause trouble, but he couldn't clap his hands. He himself couldn't sing this drama alone. After a while, the water god disappeared.
Zhang Chong breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the matter had calmed down.
But before he could rest, the official Weibo of China Youth Daily suddenly posted an update.
""Jieyou Grocery Store" won the 2020 China Youth Literature and Art Award."
"The work goes beyond the scope of mystery novels, but is more exciting than mystery novels."
The former article is the announcement of the award, and the latter article is the reason for the award.
After this news was posted, netizens who had not yet fully enjoyed eating the melon rushed to the official tweets of the China Youth Literature and Art Awards.
[What’s going on today? You can see fifth-grade vegetative people everywhere?]
[Congratulations to the fifth grade vegetative person for winning the highest honor in popular literature!]
[Hahaha, today’s biggest winner turns out to be Youth Daily. The big guys come to the discussion area to discuss whether we are still in a vegetative state or popular literature. 】
[Don’t secretly change the concept upstairs, it’s not a work, so how can we talk about genre.]
[Isn’t the biggest winner the vegetative person himself? 】
[I remember that the Youth Literature and Art Awards have a grand award ceremony every year, right?]
[Yes, it is said to be an award ceremony that belongs to one person. 】
【Will the vegetative state go?】
【How could you not go? What an honor it is.】
[It’s hard to say, after all, he didn’t even go to the highest honor for detective novels?]
[Forget it, when did the Newcomer Award become the highest honor? Moreover, the China Youth Literature and Art Award awards an award, and if he doesn’t go, that’s nonsense!]
[Damn it, doesn’t that mean you can see what he looks like? 】
【Damn old man, what’s there to see?】
【Why did I hear rumors that he is a handsome guy?】
【Think about it with your brain, is it possible? 】
【Why is it impossible?】
【God is fair.】
[Zhuang Yu is also a handsome young man.]
[Did Zhuang Yu become famous when he was young? He was really famous for a long time, right?]
…
Because of the whispers about the China Youth Literature and Art Awards, the trend on the Internet suddenly changed. Just now, netizens were still taking advantage of Zhuang Yu and other big guys, but now they are all guessing Zhang Zhong's appearance and age.
Zhuang Yu also quickly tweeted to express his gratitude to China Youth Daily for awarding him this honor.
The thank-you speech was very short. After all, he said too much now, and it would be difficult to say the acceptance speech at the ceremony. He wanted to save the long one for the ceremony.
Netizens rushed to Zhang Zhong's tweets to express their congratulations. In addition, they also expressed curiosity about whether Zhang Zhong would attend the ceremony.
Zhang Zhong sent another message, this time even shorter, with only one word: Go.
At this time, the book friends' minds were settled.
In addition to being a grand ceremony offline, the China Youth Literature and Art Award Ceremony is also very lively online and has set up multiple live broadcast channels. Readers can watch the live broadcast of the ceremony online at any time.
This is the advantage of popular literature, because it has a large audience, and the award-winning works every year are hot-selling works, and most of the authors have a very large number of fans.
In contrast, although the Nobel Prize has a high reputation and is known to everyone around the world, when it comes to the award ceremony, except for people in the literary world, few people pay attention to it, and most people even have to wait until the award ceremony is over.
It took a long time to find out who the winner of this year was.
Even if they see the winners, most people have rarely seen their works, they just look at their names and leave an impression.
Although Zhang Zhong has only made his debut a few months ago, he has gathered a large number of fans because of his numerous works. Moreover, he is currently popular, so his attention has always been very high.
The popularity of this year’s China Youth Literature and Art Awards is naturally not bad.
The most important thing is that this China Youth Literature and Art Award happens to be the tenth. Ten years is a node, and its meaning is definitely different from other awards. I believe that this time the China Youth Daily will not be ordinary.
…
On Tuesday, Zhang Zhong drove to Nanhuai Film Academy. He had not gone to class for a long time. However, he did not miss a few classes because it was a holiday some time ago and the normal class time was only two or three weeks.
Yang Huaiyong hadn't come over yet. Zhang Zhong was sitting in the back row of the classroom, looking at the students laughing and playing in front of him, thinking to himself that this would probably be the last class he would attend in this school.
After all, he is going to Yanjing to receive the award this week, and many people will definitely recognize his face afterwards. Even if it does not cause any sensation, it will also cause a lot of inconvenience.
It would probably be better if I became a teacher in this school, Zhang Zhong thought again.
When the class bell rang, Yang Huaiyong stepped in. He glanced lightly into the classroom, and suddenly his pupils opened, showing an expression of surprise and joy.
Zhang Zhong saw Yang Huaiyong's expression and nodded and smiled at him.
Yang Huaiyong also smiled back, and then said loudly: "In the last class, we talked about several basic components of film and television scripts..."
…
After one class was over, Yang Huaiyong took out the piece of paper from the book, walked down the stage and came to Zhang Zhong, and said with a smile, "Didn't you come to the previous classes? This is your homework."
