The Great Era of Rebirth: 1993

   Chapter 386, what is a noble person? This is the noble man!

  Time goes back…

  The capital, a conference room.

   Just after 9:00 in the morning, the huge conference room was already full of people.

   In addition to secretaries, assistants and other confidential personnel, the most eye-catching people in this room are the 23 people sitting around the round table.

  These 23 people are the members of the selection committee of the fourth section of the Mao Dun Literature Award, and they are all highly respected industry leaders.

  Ba Yin, as the chairman, naturally sits at the top.

   There are two deputy directors, Liu Heiyu and Chen Ben.

   In the previous rounds of competition, Liu Heiyu was the biggest supporter of the Organizing Committee in favor of the "Late" award. There are nine members of its faction, including Lei Bin, Wei Wu, and Chen Xiong.

   Liu Heiyu is a supporter.

   And Chen Ben is the biggest obstacle to the "hidden" upper position, and his fans include 9 people including Li Xiyi and Chen Jiangong.

  Because of the staggering reciprocity of supporters and opponents, the "hidden" novel was extremely controversial from the very beginning.

   Waiting for the participants to sit down, Ba Yin said in a friendly voice: "Okay, everyone is here, then let's go straight to the topic.

  What is the so-called thing today, everyone knows that the thing that should have ended in the last round has just been delayed until now.

  Before raising my hands to vote, I would like to express my position. I must vote today, and no further delay is allowed. "

   Having said this, Ba Yin glanced at Liu Heiyu and Chen Ben twice, and continued: "Now let's vote on the other three works first."

   said, Ba Yin paused, and after seeing that the other members of the organizing committee had no comments, Ba Yin picked up a book.

   said: "The first book "War and People", do you have any opinions to publish?"

  No one made a sound.

  Ba Yin said: "Okay, please raise your hands to vote, please raise your hands if you support the award."

   As a result, "War and People" won 16 votes, and passed with an overwhelming majority of votes.

   Then "White Door Willow" got 14 votes and passed.

  "Furious Autumn" also received 14 votes and passed.

   Finally, Ba Yin put "Hidden" and another book "Westbound" in front of him and said:

   "Let's discuss" latent, please express your opinions carefully, and each person has a maximum of one opportunity to speak. "

   Having said that, Ba Yin glanced at Liu Heiyu and Chen Ben again, indicating that they can start.

  Chen Ben took the lead in making a move. I saw him coughing lightly. After attracting everyone's attention, he said:

   "This novel has four chapters, written by four people, but I'm only interested in the first two chapters, and I can't read the latter chapters at all.

   The last two chapters can be said to be as sloppy as they are, as sloppy as they are, and as bizarre as they are. The twisted character and weird temper of the protagonist of the novel made me extremely uncomfortable.

   As a literary work, "literature conveys the truth" is its foundation, and it is also the hope of the public for mainstream literature.

   And March's work "Hidden" seems to go against this fundamental.

   This work is rather like a character biography history book, which tells about the different work experiences and life outcomes of several characters.

   Of course, there are also specific historical backgrounds and human factors, but it seems that the response is not too strong compared to such as "ordinary world".

   To put it simply, it is a bit similar to popular literature.

   What is popular literature?

   In fact, to put it simply, it caters to readers' curiosity, and works with commercial writing and the like have weak social functions.

   For example, martial arts novels are the representative of popular literature. When the audience reads such works, most of them are to satisfy their inner joy, curiosity, etc., and they do not have such a strong idea of ​​"the text conveys the truth""

  Chen Ben spoke eloquently for 24 minutes, and patiently found out all the shortcomings of the "hidden" novel.

   And what is commendable is that every rebuttal point is well-founded.

   gave other onlookers at the venue a sense of convincing that seemed to be like this.

  Finally, Chen Ben concluded: "In my opinion, the novel of "Hidden", apart from the novelty, can't say anything good.

   If this is an award, the outside world will doubt this award.

   Therefore, I strongly object to it winning the Mao Dun Literature Prize. "

  Chen Ben's conclusion was a bit heavy, so heavy that ordinary members of the conference room did not dare to refute it.

   At this time, everyone in the conference room turned their attention to Liu Heiyu with a tacit understanding.

   Facing the gazes of everyone, Liu Heiyu did not flinch, he straightened his body and sternly retorted:

   "I don't agree with Comrade Chen Ben's view. That's right. Literary works should have the quality of writing to convey the truth.

   But after listening to Comrade Chen Ben's speech just now, I don't think he understands "lurking" at all.

  The novel "Hidden" is about two things from beginning to end: human nature and history.

   First we look at its human nature.

  The reason why the various geeks appearing in the works can perform well in specific espionage work is actually due to the kindness of human nature.

   For example, A Bing, whose faith is mainly based on gratitude. Knowing how to be grateful is itself a manifestation of human kindness.

   And the other is historicity.

  The story of the novel itself is built in a special era, and it reflects people who are engaged in special work in a special era. To a certain extent, it still reflects life in a special historical context.

  I think the firm and noble personal beliefs of those unsung heroes who silently dedicate themselves to the cause of national security in "hidden" are the core of Wen Yi Zao Dao.

  In this era of dissolving heroes and the sublime, we desperately need them.”

   It is related to his own face and position in the industry. Liu Heiyu is now refusing to give in, refuting Chen Ben's point of view point by point.

   refuted all the way, and talked for a full 32 minutes.

   took 8 minutes more than Chen Ben.

   Finally, Liu Heiyu put down the manuscript and said solemnly: "This is the Mao Dun Literature Award. We can't treat any literary works unfairly for our own sake. I am in favor of "Hidden" winning this Contradiction Literature Award."

   After Liu Heiyu finished speaking, Ba Yin looked at everyone in the conference room and asked, "Do you have any other opinions?"

   Everyone looked at each other, but didn't make a sound.

   Because there is no need to make a sound anymore. Chen Ben and Liu Heiyu, as supporters and opponents, have already said everything just now, and there is nothing more to say.

   Seeing that everyone was silent, Ba Yin, who had expected it, was not surprised, so he said:

   "Then let me tell you my point of view. I didn't make a formal statement on "lurking" a few times before. I know everyone wants to hear my opinion, so I'll just say a few words."

  Ba Yin took a sip of tea and said slowly: "The development of culture requires a hundred schools of thought contend. Any culture needs to be treated with an inclusive mentality and take its essence.

   Even in popular literature, there is something in it. Such as Jin Yong's martial arts, don't they also have the idea of ​​"the great man is for the country and the people"?

   The spirit of the "hidden" novel has encouraged countless people, making them feel the value of life and the value of the nation.

  As the most authoritative award in domestic literature, the Mao Dun Literature Award is not a tool for sticking to tradition, its precious quality is to let a hundred flowers bloom. "

  Ba Yin doesn't speak much, but every word is precious.

   As soon as he finished speaking, the entire conference room was silent, all looking up at Mr. Ba Yin.

   None of the idiots here naturally know what this old gentleman means.

   Seeing this, Mr. Ba Yin raised the "lurking" in his hand and said slowly: "I am old and a little tired after sitting for a long time. Don't waste your time, let's raise your hands to vote now."

After   , Ba Yin raised his hand first.

   Seeing this, the four who had been on the sidelines immediately followed and raised their hands.

  The situation is very good, the situation is clear, these are the two words that Liu Heiyu thought of at the moment, and immediately raised his hand.

   Then all those who supported the "lurking" award raised their hands.

  Ba Yin counted and announced the result: "13 votes, passed."

  Although the novel "Hidden" temporarily got a favorable vote, Ba Yin still voted for "Westbound".

The meaning of    is very clear, 5 novels, the top four with the highest votes will be the winners.

   After one round, "Westbound" only got a pitiful 6 votes,

   The three who originally belonged to Chen Ben's camp, after seeing that "Westward Journey" had no hope of winning, simply pretended to be deaf. This is a trick to give face to Mr. Ba Yin.

   Holding the statistics of the confidential secretary, Ba Yin looked around everyone and said solemnly:

   "I now announce that the selection of the 4th Mao Dun Literature Award has officially ended successfully.

  The winners are: Wang Huo's "War and People", Liu Sifen's "White Door Willow", Liu Yumin's "Furious Autumn" and March's "Hidden", congratulations to the four writers. "

After   , Ba Yin applauded.

  Clap clap clap.

   Everyone applauded

  In the conference room with thunderous applause, all the participants looked at Ba Yin and secretly sighed that March's life was good:

  What is a noble person?

   This is the nobleman, the final word! ! !

  ps: Please subscribe! Ask for a monthly pass!
