    Although in fact, he did not need the materials provided by Zuo Zhouzhou at all, but judging from the other party's attitude, if he did not use those materials, the young man would probably not agree to sign his name in the book.  Since Zuo Zhouzhou's name was indispensable, he must be dragged into the water, so Yang Yi agreed with the other party's decision.  After sending Zuo Zhouzhou away, Yang Yizheng was about to sort out the scripts he had made in the past few days and send Su Wan comics about the island country in his past life. He had read some of them, and among them, "op" was the one he remembered the most.  But after all, he is not the kind of otaku who is crazy about island anime, so in fact, his memory of many plots in the original comics is somewhat vague."  But thanks to the various novels he had read in the past, as well as the various novel plots on Yanhuan.com, he was able to successfully complete the original plot that he could not remember.  There may be some discrepancies, but purely in terms of the excitement of the plot, the Eastern-style fairy adventure adapted into "Yunhuang" hardly belongs to the original work.  This is not due to Yang Yi's inflated self-confidence, but a conclusion drawn from the sales feedback from the island country.  But just a second before he brought everything and was about to set off, Mr. Zhao Shuren, the editor-in-chief of Yangyi Publishing, suddenly rushed over. The excitement on his face almost made people wonder whether Yangyi Culture had become  Bertelsmann is a giant in the publishing industry, or he got the fairy peach from the Queen Mother and unexpectedly extended his life by 90 years.  In Yang Yi’s impression, this person was recruited by Luo Ge from Sanlian Publishing House to Siyue Culture and served as the editor-in-chief of Siyue Culture from the beginning.  Later, he was also known as the editor-in-chief of Yangyi Publishing and the special consultant of Yangyi Culture.  I have never looked so anxious and about to jump. The old man always carries a small folding fan with him in the summer.  In the other three seasons, he never leaves his hands with the purple clay pot. His old-school intellectual style and his character of enjoying the joys of ordinary life are vividly displayed in him. Many people say that it is almost impossible to see this old man in a hurry.  But now, on an ordinary late autumn afternoon in 1998, Zhao Shuren's performance broke people's usual impression of him.  "Don't be anxious about anything. Let's take a break and then talk slowly." Seeing Zhao Shuren panting, Yang Yi was both amused and worried.  If something goes wrong with this old man, it would be hard to explain to him and his family.  "Nominated, Xiaoyi, your book has been nominated!" That's what Zhao Shuren said, and he was shouting very incoherently. His voice was so loud that it almost penetrated the entire floor. Many staff working in the pángbiān office  , Hearing the sound, he couldn't help but poke his head out of the door, wanting to see what was going on.  It was obvious that Zhao Shuren was so uncharacteristically excited.  Let them also secretly guess in their hearts.  In response to the old man's excitement, Yang waved his hands repeatedly, preparing to make him a cup of tea and let him calm down before talking slowly.  But Mr. Zhao is still in the mood to drink tea.  He directly grabbed Yang Yi's arm: "No, no, I can't drink it now. I'm so happy. I can't pretend anything. Xiao Yi, your book has been nominated. It's been nominated!" Yang  Yi Jie could only smile bitterly again, and the only thing the other party could do was talk about it.  But there is no context, it is nothing more than arousing people's appetite, but not letting people down.  After nodding his head repeatedly, he repeatedly signaled Zhao Shuren to calm down. Seeing that the other party's flushed face had gradually calmed down, and he was no longer dancing like before, he asked calmly: "What nomination? Where is mine?"  Has this book been nominated? Grandpa Zhao, please don’t tell me what it was for the Mao Dun Literature Award or the Lu Xun Literature Award.” The boy recalled it carefully, and Zhao Shuren said that the most likely reason for his book to be nominated was “Tu Qiao Da”.  " was nominated for some domestic literary awards.  As of 1998, China's well-known literary awards, namely the earliest and official Mao Dun Literature Award and the Zhuang Chongwen Literature Award established in the late 1980s, entered the 1990s.  The Cao Yu Drama Literature Award and the Lu Xun Literature Award were established in 1995 and 1995.  Apart from that, he really couldn't remember any other awards.  But for these domestic awards, especially the Mao Dun Literature Award, not to mention whether the selection time has come or not, just the question of qualifications is already very puzzling.  Because China has a special organization called the Writers Association, to a certain extent, the popularity of a writer and the brilliance of his works are not directly proportional, and when this kind of administrative organization is  When an organization can affect a writer's economic interests, then many dark factors that should not belong to literature will affect the selection of works.  It’s not that Yang Yi’s views on the selection of domestic literary awards are too dark and he deliberately wants to conspire. In fact, there are many voices of doubt and criticism within the big circle of writers.  But no matter what, these criticisms areThe fact that the Mao Dun Literature Award has the greatest influence in China cannot be shaken. Even if it is not this award, there are several other literary awards that have more or less similar problems, but they still happen year after year, and for those who have won these awards  Writers bring numerous accolades.  Is it possible that it is really one of these?  As for the nominated book, there’s no need to guess, it’s definitely “The Dumplings”.  While Yang Yi was secretly speculating, Zhao Shuren finally calmed down and took a breath. His eyes were full of the look of his predecessors who loved and cherished their talents, but there was also some surprise and emotion: "No, it's not the domestic literary award selection, but  It’s foreign, it’s foreign! Have you heard of the Booker Prize in Britain? It’s actually this award! When I got the call from the Booker Prize Management Committee, I was really shocked, thinking it was some boring person.  You called me on purpose to tease me, and you were thinking about why there was no news about the domestic awards, but foreigners came to nominate your book. However, after a long explanation, I found out that it was indeed your book that won.  Nominated for the Booker Prize. Just now I asked Gregory to check on the Internet and found that your book was indeed among the shortlisted books. Xiaoyi, you have really gone out of the country to work for us.  The Chinese people have gained glory! You don’t know. I just found out that this Booker Prize is the second most prize in foreign countries after the Nobel Prize for Literature. Although it is more commercial-oriented, it is for senior literary workers.  It was selected jointly with the readers. I heard that the judges are changed every year and are very strict. I didn’t expect that a foreign award winner would actually know our junior’s work. Haha, that’s a good thing.  , Haha" Under the stimulation of this kind of news that was unheard of in the country, Zhao Shuren's usual calmness also disappeared, leaving only the joy of laughing at everyone.  Obviously, the old master is still very proud of this kind of recognition from the Western world. It is basically like China occupying the world, but it is not by force or goods.  But culture.  In fact, anyone who knows a little bit about the Booker Prize will almost have the same reaction as Master Zhao. This award, which seemed strange to Chinese writers in 1998, is actually attracting worldwide attention.  Almost as fair and impartial a literary selection as possible has been achieved.  Because it is different from other selection mechanisms, this literary award was only established in the mid-20th century, although it is compared to its companions in other countries.  She is an out-and-out little sister, but she is much fairer than her predecessors. Starting from the sponsor.  Below is the management committee operated by duli, and this management committee can only propose next-level reviews with professional backgrounds.  However, they cannot directly participate in the selection of nominated works.  After the committee selects five judges, these judges, who change their names every year, will select the final list, and then the four authors on the final list will compete to determine the final winner.  In this extremely strict atmosphere, which has eliminated profit factors to the greatest extent, the Booker Prize has naturally become a symbol of fairness. Although it is impossible to make everyone feel fair, compared with holding a prize  The Nobel Prize has been affected by political factors, the Goncourt Prize has suffered a decline in reputation due to the impact of economic interests, and the Booker Prize has already stood out from the crowd.  In fact, the prototype of Yang Yi's "Tomb" is the book "Tough Stone" that won the Goncourt Prize in the previous life, and the boy's purpose of choosing this book was also to compete for the Goncourt Prize rather than win the Goncourt Prize.  Booker Prize, on the one hand, the original text itself is written in French. Even after the influence of translation, even if it is written in Chinese, the taste of this book is biased towards the French literary aesthetic concept. After considering many factors,  Yang Yicai chose this novel.  In his opinion, the Goncourt Prize is obviously less difficult to win than the Booker Prize.  In particular, the copyright agent in France for "Earth", which had been transformed by him, was Grasset Publishing House, one of the three major publishing houses in that country.  And this publishing house is actually the jury giant of the Goncourt Prize. In many cases, the literary editors in chief of these three publishing houses or their contracted writers will become the judges of the Goncourt Prize as a rule.  It is precisely because of this situation that if your work is distributed by one of the three giants, you will have a greater chance of winning.  However, there is still no news about the Goncourt Prize, but there is news of being nominated for the Booker Prize. This really makes Yang Yi very puzzled.  But no matter what, the current situation will only be better than originally expected, so there is no need for the young man to ask more questions and worry.  "Xiaoyi, if you win the award for "Tuqiao" in the end, you will set many records. You are the youngest winner, the youngest overseas Zuo family, and we are the first in China to gain worldwide influence.  The author of the grand prizehehe, even us editors at Yangyi Publishing will also benefit from it!"Zhao Shuren's face was filled with joy. In his heart, this sudden and unbearable news was the third best news after he learned about the birth of his grandson and granddaughter and that his wife's high blood pressure had improved.  For an editor who has been striving for a good book all his life, what could be more exciting than hearing that a book published by his own publishing house has won one of the top international awards?  The first two news are about his family, while the latter one is about his career.  "It's just a nomination. Grandpa Zhao, please don't be so excited first." Yang Yi shook his head helplessly, and then closed the door of the office to prevent the employees who were listening in the corner from outside from getting upset too: "As far as I know  , the first nomination for this award is just the preliminary selection, and then there is the flotation of professional judges, and finally the final award of one of the four selections. You are so excited, and you will be thousands of miles away.  Once you are dismissed, what do you think everyone thinks? Isn’t it a waste of time to dampen the enthusiasm of employees?”
