Although in fact, he didn't need the materials provided by Zuo Zhouzhou at all, depending on the other party's posture, if he did not use those materials, the eldest young master would not agree to sign his name in the book. Since Zuo Zhouzhou's name is essential, he must pull this son into the water, Yang Yi agreed to the other party's decision.

After seeing off Zuo Zhouzhou, Yang Yi was about to sort out the scripts that were temporarily made these days and sent Su Wan to the comics about the island country in his previous life. He had read some of them, especially in "OP", and remembered the most. But after all, he was not the kind of otaku who was crazy about island country anime, so in fact, his memory was a little blurred in many plots in the original comics." But thanks to various novels I have read in the past and various curious plots on Yanhuan.com, he still made up for the original plot that he couldn't remember. It may be somewhat different, but simply in terms of the excitingness of the plot, the Eastern God Adventure adapted into "Yunhuang" almost does not belong to the original work. This is not Yang Yi's self-confidence expansion, but the conclusion drawn from the sales of a single-line book feedback from the island country.

But just as he brought all his things, just a second before he set out, Mr. Zhao Shuren, the editor-in-chief of Yangyi Publishing, suddenly rushed over. The excited expression on his face almost made people wonder if Yangyi Culture had become a giant in the publishing world like Bertelsman, or if he had obtained the Queen Mother's fairy peach and unexpectedly extended his life for 90 years.

In Yang Yi's impression, this old man who was poached from Sanlian Publishing House to Siyue Culture, was the editor-in-chief of Siyue Culture from the beginning. Later, he was also known as Yangyi Publishing Editor and Yangyi Culture's special consultant. He never seemed so anxious and was about to jump off his feet. The old man carried a folding fan with him in summer. In the other three seasons, he was always in purple clay teapots. The style of an old-school intellectual and the character of enjoying the ordinary life were fully expressed in him. Many people said that it was almost impossible to see this old man anxious. However, now, on an ordinary late autumn afternoon in 1998, Zhao Shuren's performance broke people's usual impression of him.

"Don't worry, take a break before talking slowly." Looking at Zhao Shuren's panting look, Yang Yi was both funny and worried. If something went wrong with this old man, it would be difficult for him to explain to his family.

"Notified, Xiaoyi, your book is nominated!" Zhao Shuren said this, shouting with no end, his voice was almost about to penetrate the entire floor. Many staff members working in the office couldn't help but poke their heads out of the door when they heard the sound, trying to see what was going on. It was obvious that Zhao Shuren was so abnormally excited that they also secretly guessed in their hearts.

Regarding the old man's excitement, Yang Yi waved his hands repeatedly and prepared to make him a cup of tea, so that the other party could calm down and then tell him slowly. But Mr. Zhao was not 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 hold on to anything. Xiaoyi, your book has been nominated. I've been nominated!"

Yang Yi could only smile bitterly again. The other party was just like this. But there was no context. It was like raising the appetite high, but not letting people fall to the ground. After nodding repeatedly, he repeatedly signaled Zhao Shuren to calm down. Seeing that the other party's blushing face had gradually stabilized, and he no longer danced like the same as before, so he asked without rushing: "What nomination? Which book of my book was nominated? Grandpa Zhao, don't tell me what Mao Dun Literature Award or Lu Xun Literature Award nomination."

The boy recalled carefully that Zhao Shuren said that his book was nominated, and the biggest possibility was that the book "Duji" was nominated by some domestic literary awards. As of 1998, the well-known Chinese literary awards, namely the earliest and official Mao Dun Literature Award, and the Zhuang Chongwen Literature Award, established in the late 1980s. After entering the 1990s, Fengbei's Drama Literature Award and Lu Xun Literature Award, established in 1994 and 1995. In addition, he really couldn't remember any other awards.

But if these domestic awards, especially the Mao Dun Literature Award, are not the time to be selected, and the question of whether they are qualified is already very puzzling. Because there is a special organization called the Writers Association in China, to a certain extent, the popularity of a writer and the excitement of his works are not proportional to a certain extent. When such an organization with an administrative nature can affect the economic interests of a writer, many dark factors that should not be literature will affect the selection of works. It is not that Yang Yi's view on the selection of domestic literary awards is too dark and he deliberately wants to conspire theories. In fact, there are many voices of doubt and criticism in the circle of writers.

But no matter what, these criticisms cannot shake the fact that the Mao Dun Literature Award has the greatest influence in China. Even if it is not this award, it is a few other literary awards, there are more or less similar problems, but it still repeats itself year by year, and has brought countless honors to the writers who have won these awards.

Could it be that it is really one of these?

As for the books that were nominated, there is no need to guess, it must be "The Lost of Earth".

When Yang Yi was secretly speculating, Zhao Shuren finally smoothed out his breath, his eyes full of the seniors' love for talents, but he was also surprised and moved: "No, it's not the domestic literary award selection, but foreign, foreign! I have heard of the Booker Prize in the British Kingdom! It's actually this award! When I received a call from the Booker Prize Management Committee, I was really shocked. I thought that some boring person was deliberately calling me to tease me, and I was thinking why there was no movement in the domestic awards, but foreigners came to nominate your book. As a result, after explaining it for a long time, I realized that your book was indeed nominated for the Booker Prize.

. I asked Ge Ligaoli to check on the Internet and see that they published the shortlisted books, your book is indeed included. Now, Xiaoyi, you really have gone out of China and won glory for us Chinese! You don’t know. I just figured out that the Booker Prize is the second most popular in the world to the Nobel Prize in Literature. Although it is more commercial, it was selected by harmonious senior literary workers and readers. I heard that their reviews are changed every year, very strict. I didn’t expect that a foreign grand prize would actually know our Xiaoyi’s works, haha, good things, great things, haha…”

Stimulated by this unheard news in China, Zhao Shuren's usual calmness disappeared, leaving only the joy of laughing whenever he saw people. It is obvious that Lao Fu is still very proud of this recognition from the Western world. It is basically like China occupied the world, but it is not force, nor commodity. It is culture.

In fact, anyone who has a little understanding of the Booker Prize will almost always have the same reaction as Mr. Zhao. This award, which is extremely unfamiliar to Chinese writers in 1998, is actually a world-renowned literary selection. Almost all the time has achieved the fair and just literary selection. Because unlike other selection mechanisms, this literary award, which was established in the mid-20th century, is an absolute little sister compared to her companions in other countries, but is much more just than her predecessors. Below is the management committee operating in Duli, which can only propose a next-level review with a professional background. However, it cannot directly participate in the selection of nominated works. When the committee selects five reviewers, the judges who will change their candidates every year, the final review list will be selected, and the four authors on the final review list will be selected.

In this extremely strict atmosphere that has eliminated the interests to the greatest extent, the Booker Prize has naturally become a symbol of justice. Although it is impossible to make everyone feel fair, compared with the Nobel Prize, which has political factors, the Booker Prize, whose reputation has declined due to economic interests, is already a prominent existence.

In fact, Yang Yi's book "The Earth Bump" is the book "Tough Stone" won by the Gongguer Prize in his previous life. The purpose of the boy choosing this book was to impact the Gongguer Prize rather than the Booker Prize. On the one hand, the original text itself was written in French. Even after being influenced by the translation, even if it was written in Chinese, the taste of this book tends to be French literary aesthetics. After considering many factors, Yang Yi chose this novel. In his opinion, it is difficult to win the Gongguer Prize compared to the Booker Prize.

The degree is obviously smaller. Especially after his transformation, "The Lost Tomb" was a copyright agent in France, and it is also the Grasse Publishing House, one of the three major publishers in the country. This publishing house is actually the jury giant of the Goncourt Award. Many times, the literary editors of these three publishers or the signed writers of their subsidiaries will become the candidates for the Goncourt Award as usual. It is precisely because of this situation that his works are distributed by one of the three giants, so there will be a greater chance of winning the award.

However, there is no movement in the Goncourt Award, but news of nomination for the Booker Prize has been heard, which really makes Yang Yi very confused.

But no matter what, the current situation will only be better than expected, so there is no need for the boy to ask or worry more.

"Xiaoyi, if your "Dutu" finally won the award, I don't know how many records have been created. The youngest winner, the youngest overseas Zuo family, and the first author in China to win the world-wide influence award... Haha, even our editors published by Yangyi will benefit from you!" Zhao Shuren's face was full of joy. In his heart, this news that suddenly made people unable to calm down was the third best news after he knew that his grandson and granddaughter were born, and his wife's high blood pressure improved. For an editor who has been working hard to meet a good book all his life, what else is more exciting than hearing the books published by his publishing house that won the top prizes in the world? The first two news is his family, and the latter one is related to his career.
