Chapter 350 Nobel Prize in Literature Nomination! Chinese writers enshrined in the Hall of Literature! A brand new era!

Since ancient times, many talented people have been romantic.

Although in most cases, Jiang Hai treats his partners and opposite sex around him as friends.

but
The speaker is unintentional, but the listener is intentional.

The age of early twenties is the best time to pursue love. It is true that gentlemen like to marry beautiful ladies, but there are talented people in every generation, and since ancient times, talented people have been romantic.
How can a gentleman not deserve the heart of a young girl?
Putting aside his talent, Chen Hanying actually admires Jiang Hai.

Although this person is usually a little casual and carefree
But there is a kind of aura about him, an aura that makes people want to get close to him.

"This necklace is not bad." Chen Hanying carefully put on the cloth bracelet that Jiang Hai bought at a roadside stall for twelve yuan on her snow-white neck. She sorted out her melancholy mood and her eyes once again revealed a little calmness. "The film and television production of the animation "Dragon Clan" has been approved, so the studio should continue with it next."

"It should be the film and television production of The Three-Body Problem?"

Standing up from the director's seat, Chen Hanying walked towards the office of the head of the animation rendering department.

Passing by employee workstations.

Employees of both sexes nodded in her direction in a friendly and polite manner:

"Sister Hanying."

"Hello, Sister Hanying~"

Looking at this young, beautiful, slender and talented CAFA campus beauty, while everyone admired her, many people also felt puzzled:

“Why is Director Chen Hanying always so dedicated to comic adaptations of Mr. Jiang Hai’s works?”

"From "Liang Zhu" to "Dragon Race" to "The Three-Body Problem", it seems that Director Chen Hanying submitted the project application to the leadership despite the opposition of many people."

someone said:
"Mr. Jiang Hai's works are excellent in themselves, and their works are very suitable for comic adaptation into film and television works. Whether it is "Dragon Race" or "The Three-Body Problem", as long as the comic adaptation is successful, it will stir up a lot of discussion and controversy. Don't talk about China, even if you look at the world, where can you find such suitable animation works and film and television IPs for adaptation?"

Of course, some people think:

“Excellence in work is one thing.”

"But in my opinion, the most important thing is Mr. Jiang Hai. I have heard that Director Chen Hanying and Mr. Jiang Hai have a close relationship. Although flowing water is ruthless, falling flowers have feelings for each other."

Having said that, he seemed to remember something.

A colleague who was discussing at his workstation asked a girl with a ruddy face and simple clothes sitting by the window:

"Hey Zhang Lingyun, you came to the studio quite early. I heard that you worked as Mr. Jiang Hai's personal assistant for a while."

"What kind of person is Teacher Jiang Hai?"

What kind of person could make a talented woman, rarely seen in decades at CAFA, so devoted and obsessed?

Others may not know, but Zhang Lingyun from the animation rendering team.
Should it be more or less clear?
It is said that Zhang Lingyun's tutor had sexually harassed her. Teacher Jiang Hai spoke out for justice and in anger, he took the tutor to court.
What kind of person is Teacher Jiang Hai?

Facing inquiries from colleagues.

Recalling the past, Zhang Lingyun smiled, but couldn't help but feel nostalgic in her words:
"Although he looks unruly on the outside, he is actually a very kind person at heart."

One day, the wind blows up the Great Peng, and it soars up to 90,000 miles.

For Jiang Hai, Chenghai Drama Academy is just the starting point of his life, not the end of his life.

In the blink of an eye, half a year has passed.

It has been exactly seven months since the World Science Fiction Writing Competition came to an end.

The rivers and seas did not disappear.

On the contrary, Jianghai has been unusually active in the past six months.

In the Asian literary world, there are actually many great writers, such as Lu Xun and Tagore. For their respective countries, these writers are well-deserved literary masters who have promoted the historical process and development of their country's literature.

Look at China, especially the younger generation.

More and more young people are benefiting from Jiang Hai's influence and starting to embark on the path of literature.

“I remember that Jiang Hai fought his way from Chenghai Drama Academy to the stage of world literary history.”

"How am I worse than him?"

"Why can't I?"

With the help of the Propaganda Department, a wave of learning from Comrade Jiang Hai was set off in the country.

on the street.

In the bookstore.

In the alley.

Slogans promoting Jianghai can be seen everywhere.

But what is puzzling is that even though the country has carried out such a large-scale publicity and commendation, Jiang Hai himself
But you have always been abroad?
"Why hasn't Jiang Hai come back yet?"

In the seven months since the end of the World Science Fiction Writing Competition, Jiang Hai has been active in various Western universities as the winner of the American Hugo Award, the Japanese Nebula Science Fiction Award, the French Goncourt Prize, the British Booker Prize, and the Nordic Goetze Prize.

During the past six months, in addition to resting and recuperating, I have also taken care of my body.

Jiang Hai started to hold his own personal lectures at Cambridge University, Manchester University, École Polytechnique in Paris, and Stanford University.

Book signing event at Oxford University.

In front of the iconic Bodleian Library, a long queue formed.

In this team, there are men and women, black and white. Although these readers come from all over the world and have different skin colors, they all have extremely excited expressions on their faces:

"Jiang Hai is my favorite writer, no doubt about it!!!"

"I have waited for a long time. Today, finally, Professor Jiang Hai came to our Oxford University."

Which Asian writer would you say has the greatest influence in European society?
This is actually not a good evaluation
If we extend the time span and look at the history of world literature, we can find that there are still many famous Asian writers who have a great influence on the European and American literary circles.

For example, Akutagawa Ryunosuke, Tagore, Kawabata Yasunari, and Lu Xun.
However, these literary masters who have influenced the development of Asian literature also have considerable influence in the European and American literary circles.

but!

These writers are all dead.

In other words, their era is over.

If we want to select an Asian writer who is the most famous in the Western literary world, we have to add one more prerequisite: he must still be alive.

Five years ago, people would have chosen the Japanese writer Haruki Murakami.

Five years later, that is, now, everyone will only select one writer from China——

That is Jiang Hai!

Do you want to ask what Jiang Hai’s representative works are?

It may be difficult to list them all with one hand, but if you just give an example, you can give a lot of them, such as:
The pinnacle of Chinese pioneer documentary literature "To Live", the pioneer of the killing mode of Blizzard Hill, the culmination of the orthodox reasoning "And Then There Were None", the story of legal principles and human feelings "Murder on the Orient Express", a healing masterpiece, a literary reading that praises human courage "The Old Man and the Sea", the story of despair and hope, confusion and decadence coexistence "The Sun Also Rises", subverting the history of modern science fiction, and claiming to have overcome the "Fermi Paradox" series of science fiction masterpieces "The Three-Body Problem 1: Past Events on Earth", "The Three-Body Problem 2: The Dark Forest", and "The Three-Body Problem 3: Death's End".
These are just the best-selling literary works in Europe.

Do you want to count Jiang Hai's best-selling literary works in Asia? Such as "No Longer Human", "Hope", "The Crucible", "Xu Sanguan Selling Blood", "The Dragon Race" and so on.
I don’t even dare to think about it too deeply!
Before Jiang Hai appeared, the bestseller record holder in contemporary literature was JK Rowling, a British female writer of adventure and fantasy literature. Her world-famous Harry Potter series is said to have sold over 500 million copies in the more than 30 years since its release!
Before Jiang Hai appeared, everyone thought that the sales record set by JK Rowling would never be broken!

After all, the Harry Potter series is a super IP that is created by the whole country of Britain and is popular all over the world!

An individual writer wants to fight against a country on his own?
how can that be!

However, after Jiang Hai appeared, he proved with his actual actions that
To fight against an entire country on your own?

What's impossible about this?

According to incomplete statistics from the World Library, thanks to the publicity of the World Science Fiction Writing Contest, the total sales of the "Three-Body" series, namely "The Three-Body Problem 1: Past Events on Earth", "The Three-Body Problem 2: The Dark Forest" and "The Three-Body Problem 3: Death's End", has exceeded 1.8 million copies in half a year.

In addition, "And Then There Were None", which is known as the pinnacle of undergraduate reasoning, has sold an astonishing 1.2 million copies worldwide.

Just for the science fiction and mystery series, the total sales of writer Jiang Hai in these two categories have exceeded 3 million copies.

Among them is also a short story masterpiece "The Old Man and the Sea", which won Jiang Hai the French Goncourt Prize. Thanks to the joint efforts of educational circles in Asian countries and European readers, the total sales of "The Old Man and the Sea" have reached an astonishing 9600 million.

For other writers, having a best-selling book with sales exceeding 100 million copies would already be considered a masterpiece.

But here in Jianghai, if the sales volume is only 100 million copies
It doesn't even qualify to be on the table?
In addition to the works mentioned above, the sales of the "Dragon Race" series in Asia are 6800 million copies, the sales of "To Live" in China are 2600 million copies, and "No Longer Human", as the founder of the "depressed" literary genre that has been on the top of Japan's bestseller list for many years, has a total sales volume of over 4800 million copies in Asia.

For ordinary writers, the unattainable number of "500 million" is a sales record that is difficult to achieve in this life, or even in the next life, the next next life, or the next next life.

As for Jiang Hai, the number of "500 million" does not even need to count all the works under his name, but only needs to add a part of it.
It was easily broken?
As if showing utmost respect.

Students queuing in front of the Bodleian Library at Oxford University were talking in an incredulous tone:

"The most terrifying thing is that even with the whole country's efforts to create the IP, it took JK Rowling 17 years to break the sales record from zero to 500 million copies!"

"And Mr. Jiang Hai, he broke through from zero to 500 million copies. He broke this record—"

“It only took three years!”

"It only took him three years!"

A book, especially a classic literary work, requires time to settle before one can appreciate the charm of the work itself.

In other words, the longer the time, the better its reputation.

In three years, the total sales reached an astonishing 500 million copies, breaking the bestseller sales record in the history of world literature.

If Jiang Hai was given ten or even seventeen years,
God knows what kind of brilliant myth Jiang Hai will create in the future?

"The era of JK Rowling has passed, and now comes——"

"This is the era that belongs to Jiang Hai!"

I never look down on or ignore anyone because of my achievements.

Bodleian Library, Oxford.

on site.

Jiang Hai signed his name carefully and meticulously for every reader who came, and politely greeted each one:
"Hello."

"Hello~"

On the other side of Oxford University, Princess Gwen, who was present at the event with Jiang Hai, was accepting an exclusive interview from domestic media.

When asked by reporters:
"Your Majesty Elizabeth, what is the most profound impression Mr. Jiang Hai left on you? Can you briefly describe it?"

First of all, he's tough.

Second, he's long.

But then again, how could Jiang Hai, a scholar with such a frail body, persist for so long?
That's when Gwen misunderstood and her thoughts started to go astray.
"Your Highness Elizabeth?" Looking at the silent Gwen, the reporter straightened the front of the car and reminded her again, "Can you briefly tell me how you feel?"

"Jiang Hai left the deepest impression on me." Gwen thought for a while, as if she hadn't come back to her senses yet, and said for no reason, "I think Jiang Hai's physical strength is really good?"

"Hmm?" The reporter looked confused, with a big question mark on his face, "What do you mean exactly? I don't quite understand."

"What I mean is," Gwen realized that she had made a mistake in her words, and began to make amends a little awkwardly, "Mr. Jiang Hai can stay in a room for several months to create a book day and night. This kind of dedication and attitude——"

“It is really worth learning from”

I don't know why, but the reporter who asked the question looked at Her Royal Highness Elizabeth in front of him. He always felt that the current Gwen was different from the previous Gwen.
A little different?
Others could not perceive this feeling, but he could feel it as he was talking to Gwen at close range.

What's the difference, you ask?
In his opinion, Gwen's change is a bit like
The transformation from girl to woman?

The 20-year-old Princess Gwen has shed the immaturity of her seventeen or eighteen years old. While maintaining her youthful vitality, she has also gained a bit of maturity out of thin air?
Although she still looks beautiful, her speech and behavior have begun to bid farewell to her original ignorance and become mature and calm.
In other words, she is more of a complete woman now?
"Why does a girl in her early twenties give me a long-lost sense of maturity?"

"Why does Her Majesty Gwen, who is still unmarried, have a blush on her face that doesn't belong to someone her age?"

Looking at the holy and noble Her Highness Gwen.

The reporter was puzzled, and he just shook his head, throwing away the distracting thoughts in his mind:

"Isn't it normal for a daughter of a royal family to mature early?"

“I think this must be my illusion.”

Time, like quicksand, always slips away silently.

In the blink of an eye, another three months have passed.

As Jiang Hai's reputation in the Western literary world continues to expand, the European Book Exhibition officially recognized Jiang Hai, a writer from China.

Inducted into the European Writers Hall of Fame!

In the same month, the quadrennial Nobel Prize in Literature was finally selected under the attention of the public.

Karolinska Institute Auditorium, Sweden.

When the European jury announced the nominees for this year's Nobel Prize in Literature:
"Federico, Italian writer."

"Japanese writer, Haruki Murakami."

"Chinese writer, Jiang Hai"

When a writer from China became the first and only Chinese writer in history to be nominated for the Nobel Prize in Literature.

When this news reached back home.

Including a number of Propaganda Department leaders including Tie Ning, Chairman of the China Writers Association, and even domestic readers.

In an instant, it boiled over:

"ten years!"

"We have been waiting for this day for ten years!"
