Chapter 535 Neustat International Literary Prize(3/3)

Master Shuo, your output is high enough!"

Wang Shuo debuted in the mid-1980s and quickly rose to prominence in the following few years.

By 1988, four of his novels had been adapted into movies: "The Unruly Lord", "Reincarnation", "The Big Breath", and "Half Fire and Half Sea Water", which became popular all over the world. That year was also called "

"Wang Shuonian".

In addition to the wave of film adaptations of his works, Wang Shuo's works are also hot-sellers. The novel collection "Enjoyed" published by Huayi Publishing House sold 200,000 copies in less than a month and two months.

In one year, I earned more than 200,000 yuan from publishing royalties alone.

Recently, Huayi Publishing House is planning to publish a collection of essays for Wang Shuo. Everyone thinks that Wang Shuo is expected to take over Lin Chaoyang's baton and become another writer in the literary world who makes money from royalties. People give him the nickname "Little Xu Lingjun".

The "TV series" Liu Heng mentioned is the long-form TV series "Desire" that Wang Shuo, Zheng Xiaolong, Zheng Wanlong and others worked on together.

Everyone was chatting and laughing, and the Xiaoliubukou Hutong courtyard was quiet until late at night.

The next day, "People's Daily" published the news "Chinese writer Xu Lingjun won the Newstat International Literary Award in the United States."

"This newspaper reports that on October 8, the American Newstat International Literature Prize Jury announced that Chinese writer Xu Lingjun won the 1990 Newstat International Literature Prize.

The Neustadt International Literature Prize was established in 1969 and is held every two years. It is known as the ‘American Nobel Prize for Literature’ in European and American literary circles. Comrade Xu Lingjun is the first Chinese writer to win this award.”

The "Literary Newspaper" published on the same day also published an article titled "Xu Lingjun wins the Newstat International Literary Award in the United States", but the content and style are much more colorful than the "People's Daily".

In addition, the Literary and Art Association also immediately published a congratulatory letter to Lin Chaoyang for winning the award in the Literary Journal, and warmly congratulated Xu Lingjun for winning the 1990 Neustadt National Literature Prize.

The congratulatory letter said that Xu Lingjun's works have been widely disseminated at home and abroad and have had an important impact. His creative achievements have made positive contributions to the cause of Chinese literature and art and even the development of world literature and art.

I wish Xu Lingjun to create more excellent works and make new and greater contributions to our country's literary and artistic undertakings and to the cultural development of mankind.

Under the publicity of the two authoritative media outlets, People's Daily and Literary News, the news that Lin Chaoyang won the Neustadt International Literature Prize spread throughout the country in just one day.

No. 27, Balizhuang Nanli, Chaoyang District, Yanjing.

There were constant cheers and cheers in the courtyard of Lu Xun Literary College. There were several energetic students playing basketball on the basketball court early in the morning. This place was more utilized than the classrooms upstairs.

Yu Hua stayed up too late last night, and was woken up by the sound of the basketball court in the morning. He felt depressed. He washed his face, pulled off the dry skin on his lips, and went to the cafeteria.

When he first entered the dining hall, he saw Liu Zhenyun, Mo Yan, and Chi Zijian sitting at a table chatting animatedly. After eating, he came over.

"What are we talking about?" Yu Hua asked.

Chi Zijian said: "We are talking about winning an award."

Hearing this, Yu Hua immediately became energetic. We are all young writers and have a strong ambition to win awards.

"Who won the prize?"

Liu Zhenyun said: "Chaoyang won the Newstat International Literary Award in the United States."

Liu Zhenyun attends classes at Lu Xun Literary College as a day student and eats at the school. After all, it is free.

After class yesterday, he was called by Li Tuo to go to Xiaoliubukou Alley. He stayed there all night. He didn't go home this morning and came directly to class.

"News——." Yu Hua did not repeat.

Chi Zijian reminded: "Newstat International Literary Award.

"Is this award very famous?"

"Known as the American Nobel Prize for Literature." Chi Zijian's popular science talk.

"Hiss~" Yu Hua couldn't help but take a deep breath.

"Cow-ah!"

Yu Hua wanted to say "Awesome", but Yan Geling, the goddess of his class, was sitting at the next table. He was embarrassed and changed his tune temporarily.

"That's pretty cool!" Chi Zijian was talking when Hong Feng from his class burst into the cafeteria, waving a newspaper in his hand, "Did you read it? Xu Lingjun won an American literary award!"

"Zhenyun just told everyone that he went to Xiaoliubukou Alley yesterday," Yu Hua said.

Hong Feng complained: "Zhenyun, you are so unkind. Why don't you tell everyone about this?"

"I only received the call after I got home."

Everyone was chatting about Lin Chaoyang's winning of the award, and most of them were Liu Zhenyun who said that he attended the Lin family's party yesterday and knew a lot more about the Neustadt International Literature Award than everyone else.

Just as everyone was having a lively discussion, Yan Geling, who was slowly finishing his meal, said:

"Zhenyun just made two statements that were wrong."
