Chapter 170, Campus Star Lao Shen! (Subscribe)
A Xinhua Bookstore in Beijing.
An old man with thinning hair and wearing a gray plaid shirt paused for a moment at the pile of new books, then picked up a set of "The Three-Body Civilization".
After payment.
He took a picture of the book in his hand.
Then he posted a Weibo: Lao Yang never talks nonsense, I have already bought the book and will post my review later!
This old man was Yang Xijin, and he and Wang Zhixin were not at the same level at all.
Wang Zhixin took the path of "going dark" just to attract traffic.
But Yang Xijin is different. He is a husband cicada, a typical soft-kneed person. Under the banner of caring for the people and criticizing the dark side of society, he makes some remarks that seem to protect the people but actually contain all kinds of selfish opinions.
People like him really can't stand seeing anything good happen in the country.
Any breakthrough would be more painful than killing him.
Therefore, the fact that Shen Qiushan won the Nebula Award was a great shock to him, and he really wanted to discredit Shen Qiushan immediately.
This is also the reason why he jumped out to denounce Shen Qiushan as soon as he saw the video of his performance in the bar.
Unfortunately, the result of his video protest was not ideal, as netizens seemed to be very fond of Shen Qiushan and were actually praising him.
Seeing that singing in the bar did not affect him much, Yang Xijin was naturally depressed, but now a new opportunity has come.
"The Three-Body Civilization" is officially on sale, and Yang Xijin can start with this work.
If you want to criticize a writer, attacking his works is undoubtedly the most effective means!
When it comes to analyzing the content of works, Yang Xijin is considered an expert, after all, he has been working in the field of writing all his life.
Finding a corner to sit down in the Xinhua Bookstore, Yang Xijin began to read Shen Qiushan's works seriously.
He went through almost the same mental journey as Wang Zhixin.
At the beginning.
That's it? ?
Could it be that he bribed the Nebula Awards Organizing Committee?
But as he read on, he discovered that this book was really quite interesting.
By the time he finished reading the first volume, his brows were already twisted into knots.
At this moment, Yang Xijin probably understood why Shen Qiushan, a Chinese, was able to beat so many foreign writers and win the Nebula Award!
Because if this award is not given to him, it will be a huge blow to the authority and fairness of the award.
Although there is no first in literature and no second in martial arts!
But if the gap is too obvious and the award is given to the weaker party, the authority and fairness of the award will be lost.
It’s like in a singing competition, Han Hong and Meng Ziyi each sang a song.
Then, the organizing committee awarded the championship to Meng Ziyi!
Then is there any need to continue this singing competition?
Everyone already knows that this competition is not about singing skills at all.
The reason why Shen Qiushan was able to win the Nebula Award was probably due to the same principle.
He is so strong that I have to give it to him!
Otherwise, given the tone of those foreign awards, as long as the level is similar, this award will never be given to a Chinese.
Unless you can be like "Mosan", cater to foreign values and vilify your own people.
In this way, you can go to your hometown to see the cherry blossoms with Mosan!
Yang Xijin tapped his fingers on the table. Things were becoming a little more difficult than he had expected.
I thought I could start with the works!
Now it seems that starting with the work is not a wise choice.
Almost at the same time.
In a tea room.
A middle-aged man wearing black glasses and a slightly plump middle-aged man sat opposite each other.
Both of them are writers with some fame in China, one's pen name is Liu Zhuangzhu and the other is Wang Hai.
They made an appointment yesterday to disassemble and study Shen Qiushan's new book together today.
Because they both criticized Shen Qiushan online, and the two good friends were on the same front.
"There's something special about this guy named Shen. It seems I underestimated him before."
Manor Master Liu put down the teacup in his hand and said with a frown.
"Yes, the world view and setting of this book are indeed amazing."
Wang Hai nodded. He was also a writer who focused on science fiction, but his science fiction works had not been selling well in recent years. In the past two years, he had turned to the suspense market.
"It's hard to imagine that he started out as an online novelist."
"I've read his online novel before, it's pure sensationalism."
“I didn’t expect that after switching to the science fiction track, I could actually write something like this.”
Manor Master Liu shook his head and sighed.
"It looks like we're going to get slapped in the face."
"Pre-sale is 110,000 copies. Judging from the quality of this book, it is possible to sell hundreds of thousands of copies!"
Wang Hai sighed. He was originally very dissatisfied with Shen Qiushan.
As a science fiction writer, he has been in the industry for more than 20 years, but he has never won any top science fiction awards like the Nebula Award, or even some of the flimsy awards abroad.
However, Shen Qiushan, a writer of online novels, sold the film and television rights for his first book for tens of millions, and won the Nebula Award for his second book, along with a reward of $1.5 million.
It's impossible not to be jealous!
He had originally wanted to curse a few times, at least to satisfy his urge to talk.
But now I don’t know where to start. His works speak for themselves and it is really hard to criticize him.
If you really have to criticize someone, then you really have no shame at all.
"Forget it, we haven't even met, so let's not bother with this!"
Master Liu shook his head, picked up the teacup and sipped the tea silently.
"If I have the chance, I'd really like to meet him!"
Wang Hai stroked his chubby chin and said, "He is truly a genius to be able to write a book like this and a song like Red Rose!"
The book was released in the morning.
By the afternoon, word of mouth about "The Three-Body Civilization" had already begun to ferment on the Internet.
Since it is the first domestic work to win the Nebula Award, literature lovers are very curious about it.
Secondly, the author Shen Qiushan has been very popular recently and has become a hot topic.
Although "singing for money" in bars has caused considerable controversy, it has had more positive effects.
This is easy to understand: Yanzu, who wrote "The Three-Body Problem", and Yixun's singing skills.
Then he actually ran to the bar to sing.
This is definitely a way to win over fans!
Especially those little girls who like older men, they are all fascinated by them.
They even spontaneously formed a fan group called [Uncle Shen's Guards]!
Currently, [Uncle Shen's Guard] has opened to 21 groups!
Each group has 2,000 people, and the guard team alone has 40,000 members.
So terrifying!
And today, almost all the fans in the group are doing the same thing.
Show off your book purchase receipt!
“I have bought two sets.”
“I bought three sets to support Uncle Shen.”
“Five sets purchased!”
“Twenty sets! Come on, Uncle Shen!”
"Wow, rich sister!"
"Kneel down to the sister who gave me twenty sets!"
“…”
With the support of fans and the spread of good word of mouth.
"The Three-Body Civilization" sold out on the first day of its official release.
School auditorium.
The welcome party is today.
After the welcome party, it is the National Day holiday.
Therefore, for the freshmen, today is a good day of “double happiness”.
The welcome party starts at 6:30.
The final rehearsal is now underway.
Shen Qiushan was sitting in the first row of the audience, and next to him was Lin Xiamo, the deputy secretary of the Youth League Committee who was in charge of the welcome party.
For this evening party, Lin Xiamo is equivalent to the chief director.
Next to the two of them were young teachers sent by the Youth League Committee and the school, as well as cadres from the Student Union.
At this moment, there are several girls dancing on the stage. They are from the school dance club and they have specially choreographed a girl group dance for this welcome party. The girls are all good-looking on average. The overall feeling of this show is pleasing to the eyes, full of youthful vigor and vitality.
Logically speaking, the focus of the audience should be on the girls on the stage, but at this moment, many people's eyes were intentionally or unintentionally drifting towards Shen Qiushan.
Because today is the day when "The Three-Body Civilization" is officially on sale, and there is already related news online saying that the book has sold out.
However, the author Shen Qiushan was still willing to participate in the welcome party, which surprised everyone.
"Old Shen, please sign an autograph for me!"
The dance on the stage ended. Lin Xiamo stood up, waved to the girl in the C position, and then whispered to her.
At this moment, Liu Qingwu came up to Shen Qiushan holding a set of "The Three-Body Civilization".
Her timing was interesting.
It feels like the wife is not at home and the lover secretly comes to the house.
In recent times, Shen Qiushan has not had much contact with Teacher Liu. After all, she is not a teaching teacher, and as a counselor, she will not go to the class unless there is something important.
"Does Mr. Liu also read science fiction?"
Shen Qiushan took the book and asked with a smile while signing his name on the title page.
“I don’t usually watch it.”
"But of course I have to read your book."
Liu Qingwu secretly winked at Shen Qiushan. This beautiful intern counselor has been regretting one thing in recent days.
That was when she had the chance to push Shen Qiushan down before, she thought about pulling him again to establish the image that she was not a casual girl.
As a result, you accidentally missed the best "buying" opportunity!
In Liu Qingwu's opinion, finding a man is similar to buying stocks.
Most men are junk stocks and not worth buying.
A small number of men are high-quality stocks and are very worth buying, but the problem is that all women know that these men are high-quality stocks and everyone is rushing to buy them, so the probability of a successful purchase is very low.
There are also some men who are potential stocks, and many women are eyeing these potential stocks, but since they have not yet been promoted to high-quality stocks, most women are on the sidelines.
In Liu Qingwu's eyes, Shen Qiushan was a potential stock that could be promoted to a high-quality stock.
She originally wanted to wait and see, waiting for the right opportunity, but she never expected that Shen Qiushan, a potential stock, would "ascend" so quickly.
In less than a month, he had completed the transformation from a potential stock to a high-quality stock.
Whenever she thought of this, Liu Qingwu regretted it endlessly. During the first few days when Shen Qiushan entered school, the two of them had frequent contact and there was originally a good chance.
At that time, Shen Qiushan had not yet won the Nebula Award and was not yet a famous writer.
If we use the stock curve for comparison, the buying price was still low at that time, and the chances of successful purchase were higher.
It's too late now.
Shen Qiushan has become a high-quality stock.
Not to mention that the price has reached a high point, the chances of success if you want to buy at this time are also very low.
But Liu Qingwu certainly didn't want to miss out on such a high-quality stock as Shen Qiushan, even though he had an ambiguous relationship with Lin Xiamo.
But as long as the two of them are not married, she still has a chance.
To put it another way, even if the two of them got married, there is still a chance.
In fact, the chances may be greater after marriage.
People tend to get tired of the old and love the new.
Especially men.
Even if you marry a goddess, you will get bored with her after a while.
This is also the reason why in many of the improper relationships that have been exposed, the mistresses are actually not as good-looking as the original wives.
Because for married men, wild flowers are always more fragrant than domestic flowers!
So Liu Qingwu felt that as long as she didn't give up, there would still be opportunities in the future.
"Old Shen, can you sign one for me too?"
Led by Liu Qingwu, a young female teacher from the Youth League Committee also came up with a set of "The Three-Body Civilization".
Although Sanjiang University is a top-notch university in China, its best majors are in science and engineering, and it rarely supplies talent to the literary and entertainment circles.
Since the founding of Sanjiang University, there have been few famous writers like Shen Qiushan, and none of the previous ones reached the height of Shen Qiushan.
After all, Shen Qiushan is the first writer in China to win the Nebula Award. This alone makes him far superior to other writers.
It is precisely based on this background that the great writer Shen Qiushan is still very popular in school.
Of course, fame is only one aspect.
Shen Qiushan's appearance and figure are also plus points, especially the incident of singing in a bar some time ago, which won him a lot of fans in school.
"Old Shen, can we take a photo together?"
"Old Shen, I really like your book, I Really Don't Want to Be Reborn, I have read it three times."
"Teacher Shen, I also want an autograph, just sign on my clothes..."
Just now, Lin Xiamo, the deputy secretary of the Youth League Committee, was sitting next to Shen Qiushan, and no one dared to move.
Now Lin Xiamo went to the front to talk about work, and everyone started chasing stars, and soon surrounded Shen Qiushan.
When Lin Xiamo finished talking to the girl and was about to return to her seat, she discovered that Shen Qiushan had been surrounded by a group of female students and teachers.
Lin Xiamo frowned slightly. Of course, she also paid attention to the public opinion on the Internet. Shen Qiushan has been very popular recently.
There are countless little girls who like him, which makes Lin Xiamo feel a sense of crisis.
Lin Xiamo is very confident about her appearance and figure, but the disadvantage of age cannot be changed.
No matter how beautiful she is, she is already 31 years old this year, and among the little girls who like Shen Qiushan, there are even many who are 18 or 19 years old!
Just like the famous saying that hits the heart: No woman can stay eighteen forever, but there will always be eighteen-year-old girls!
"Old Shen, it's time for us to rehearse."
Lin Xiamo adjusted her state slightly and said to Shen Qiushan who was surrounded in the middle.
In order to show support for Shen Qiushan and Lin Xiamo, the school specifically told Lin Xiamo that it would be best if the two of them could also go on stage and participate in this year's welcome party.
This is the most powerful response to the critical voices on the Internet!
Just keep barking!
We at Sanjiang University will not only not punish Shen Qiushan and Lin Xiamo, we will even encourage them to perform at the welcome party.
Therefore, Shen Qiushan and Lin Xiamo's performance became the most anticipated program by students at the welcome party!
