Shudu.
Shudu has two newly built large sports stadiums, one is Fenghuangshan Stadium and the other is Dong'an Lake Stadium.
Among them, Dong'an Lake was built when Shudu hosted the World University Games. It has three venues, the largest of which is a comprehensive sports stadium that can accommodate 40,000 people.
During concerts, the seats in the inner field can accommodate 50,000 people.
The Phoenix Mountain Stadium has two venues, one is an international standard basketball court and the other is an international standard football field.
The football field can accommodate 50,000 people.
During concerts, 20,000 seats can be added to accommodate 70,000 people.
If you are an ordinary singer, you will choose Phoenix Mountain Basketball Court. If you are a better singer, you will definitely choose Dong'an Lake Stadium.
As for brothers five, six, eight and four, of course they would choose the largest Phoenix Mountain Football Stadium.
Fortunately, all the football matches for this year have been completed.
However, football fans still visited Han Zhou and his friends on Weibo as usual: "The grass in Hanwu City was well protected last time, so we must protect the grass in Fenghuang Mountain as well this time! There will be a game soon!"
Han Zhou's fans said: "Don't worry, we won't be dancing at the scene. We didn't buy any tickets at all."
Football fan: "I don't trust you, you old man are so bad, I bought the ticket, but you didn't?"
Han Zhou Le Zi Fans: "???"
"Fuck it! I was wondering why we couldn't buy tickets this time. Turns out you bought all the tickets?"
Football fans: "Hehehehe ︿(￣︶￣)︿Phoenix Mountain Football Stadium is the professional football stadium we have waited so long for. It's not that we don't trust you to protect us, but we won't bother you anymore. We will go in and protect it ourselves. We won't bother you anymore, haha!"
Fun fan: "I'm afraid that you'll dance louder than anyone else and sing out of tune than anyone else, middle finger/jpg"
Fun fan No. 2: "This bastard is just showing off that he bought the ticket."
Football fan: "By the way, I'm familiar with the security company that Phoenix Mountain Stadium has been working with for a long time. It seems they are also responsible for the concert. They are hiring security guards."
Fun fan No. 2: "Brother! I admit that I spoke a little loudly just now. Please help me, how can I get in touch with you?!"
Entertainment fans always quote Han Zhou's classic quotes, but they don't know that the popular memes coming out of Han Zhou's mouth are all movie lines from another world, and this one is no exception.
In Shudu, Han Zhou was rehearsing very seriously.
During the break, the sound engineer began to experiment with the sound.
The song playing was "Above the Moon".
Chuck blocked his ears.
Chen Feng rolled his eyes.
Lin Xiaoxing: "This song is really popular, more popular than any other song in my album. It's everywhere in the streets and alleys."
Not to mention Lin Xiaoxing's album, even An Lan's album has to give way to "Above the Moon" on the hit list.
It’s just that on the Golden Melody Chart, which carries a higher weight, the entire album “Little Kids” suppresses “Above the Moon” based on sales data.
Han Zhou smiled: "Doesn't it sound nice?"
Chen Feng grabbed Han Zhou's neck and said, "My ears, compensate me for my ears!"
"My mom changed this song to her cell phone ringtone. Now I get terrified when I hear it!"
Han Zhou: "Ahem, it's okay. After the concert, this song won't be popular anymore."
Chen Feng continued to shake: "Let the new song of Phoenix Band take its place and continue to be popular, right?"
"I already have a bad feeling."
Zhang Ceyong was amused: "Hahaha, I heard that square dances all over the country are now using the song "Above the Moon"."
Lin Xiaoxing added: "There is also a barber shop."
Chen Feng: "There is also a two-yuan store."
Han Zhou was puzzled: "You still go to the two-yuan store?"
Chen Feng: "Is it not okay for me to drive?"
Han Zhou: "Speaking of this, are you interested in opening a store together, a hot pot restaurant?"
In fact, there are very few celebrities in the circle who don’t open a store.
Among them, hot pot restaurants are the most numerous.
However, some of them are serious about running a store, while others are just trying to defraud the franchise fee.
Of course, some celebrities have opened bars and other stores.
Chen Feng : “That’s a good idea.”
Anyway, this thing doesn't require several people to do it personally, all you need to do is pay money.
Lin Xiaoxing: "By the way, are you sure the locals will like the songs you've brought out this time?"
Han Zhou nodded seriously: "I will like it."
Han Zhou made eight songs this time.
The eight songs are all representative works of singers from Shu Province in the past, or classic songs that can represent Sichuan and Chongqing.
There are some songs among them that if fans from other provinces listen to them, they may not feel anything.
However, local fans will definitely know how much Han Zhou cares about his hometown after listening to his songs.
…
Han Zhou rushed to Shanghai before the concert started.
It's a coincidence indeed.
This year's Tuikao Literature Prize should have been held earlier.
However, it happened that this year's World Science Fiction Festival was held in Shudu.
As a result, all domestic literary awards were coordinated and reselected their dates.
The Tuikao Literature Prize was postponed.
This time, the Tuikao Literature Award sent Han Zhou the winning information.
Now that he has received the winning information, it means that he has confirmed the winning. Of course, Han Zhou has to give him this face and accept the award.
This news could not be concealed and soon spread throughout the circle.
Most of the authors were aware of this award information and were very happy that Han Zhou won the award.
Because currently, 99.99% of the active authors on the market are online writers.
Only one in a thousand are traditional writers.
To be precise, in the new era, writers of traditional literature have also published their works online, and they are also online writers in a broad sense.
But so far, there is no literary award given to online writers.
Even if you are a traditional writer, as long as you publish your novel on the Internet, you will lose the eligibility to win the award.
This kind of partisanship and prejudice makes many authors very annoyed.
The emergence of Han Zhou changed this situation.
First of all, what Han Zhou writes is neither traditional literature nor online literature.
In a sense, the new martial arts novel is somewhere in between the two. It is more entertaining than traditional literature and more .
However, many readers have not read Han Zhou’s new series "Honghuang". Even though the game "Honghuang" is so popular, few readers watch it.
But a lot of authors have already seen it.
And they keenly discovered that the New World Animation Network directly marked the copyright as open source, and anyone could write fan fiction for "Honghuang".
However, the Honghuang fan works do not have the right to film and television adaptation. The electronic reading income of fan works belongs to the fan writers, but other copyrights belong to New World.
Many people are considering whether to write Honghuang fan fiction, but a large number of online authors have already taken the plunge.
What? Adaptation rights? Don't be ridiculous. How many novels have copyright income? Isn't it all electronic subscription income? If you can't make a living, writing fan works to make money is the right choice for you.
At this time, "Honghuang" will win this year's gold medal of the Tuikao Literature Award, officially named the Tuikao Literature Best Novel Award.
Of course everyone is paying attention.
But at the same time, many members of the China Writers Association were very dissatisfied with this matter.
Of course, it is the vested interests who are dissatisfied, while ordinary members of the Writers Association take an indifferent attitude towards this.
How deep is the sectarianism of the China Writers Association?
Click on the official website of the China Writers Association, which includes the China Writers Association online website.
This online writers association is a subordinate organization of the China Writers Association.
However, when you open this webpage, you cannot find the name of any online writer or writer who writes traditional novels on the Internet.
You will only see some titles such as the list of the best online poets in 2022 and the new members of the Internet Writers Association in 2022.
But if you look, you will find that all the names are real names, not even pen names.
You've never heard of these people.
These winning poems cannot be said to be extremely ugly, but they can only be said to have no highlights, relying on the defense.
This is the case on the official website of this writers' association, so one can imagine what is going on inside.
This time, as soon as Han Zhou arrived in the Magic City, he was met with malicious intent.
A writer named Chang Chu published an article titled "Oppose the Tendency of Novels to Become Pan-Entertainment."
The title is this, but the actual content is scolding Han Zhou and belittling "Hong Huang".
If it were someone else, the media wouldn't bother to care at all.
Please, this is not the era of blogs, this is the era of Weibo.
The era when writers had the final say on the Internet is long gone.
Who cares about you?
However, the target was Han Zhou, which aroused the interest of many media.
As soon as Han Zhou got off the plane, he was blocked by the media: "Han Zhou, Chang Chu published an article criticizing your novel for being too entertaining. What do you think about this?"
Han Zhou: "Who?"
Nanfang Daily reporter: "Chang Chu."
Han Zhou: "Who?"
Nanfang Daily reporter: "Chang Chu, the character for "Chu" means "Chu" in the grass radical.
Han Zhou: "I'm not deaf. I didn't ask his name. I meant, who is this person?"
Yangtze Daily reporter: "A traditional writer."
Han Zhou: "What are your representative works? Well-known works? How many copies have you bought?"
Yangzi Daily reporter: "According to statistics, his book The Lonely Ear of Wheat should have sold more than 30,000 copies."
Han Zhou: "When I post a '6' on Weibo, more than three million people read it. Thirty thousand copies? Does that mean I'm a lousy writer who wrote a novel that no one reads?"
"I have to respond to this kind of person? Then I won't do anything else in my life."
The news came out quickly.
A certain online writer who likes to watch the fun: "As expected of Han Zhou, 6, support, he is a clown, do you think he deserves to respond to him?"
Someone commented: "He has sold 30,000 copies of his book. He is a clown. What are you?"
This online writer: "I am not talented, but my last book sold 4.8 million copies in total. Is it too much to say that he is a clown? To put it bluntly, I am flattering him by saying that he is a clown. Is he qualified to enter the house and climb onto the beams? Stay outside."
As for online novels, he has to print eight copies of one book, so the total sales of more than four million copies are not a lot. He is considered to be at a relatively advanced but not top level among the top online writers.
The person being criticized has nothing to say.
Then someone else responded below: "Other people write literature, what do you write? That joke collection can also sell millions of copies."
Another online writer, and a top-tier one, Bei Qilin, one of the four supreme gods of Longdian Chinese website: "The joke collection can sell millions of copies, but his book only sold 30,000 copies. How dare he speak out about what he wrote? Before my own book sold 100,000 copies, I didn't dare to speak in the circle. I called everyone a big boss. Is he qualified to diss Jin Gu Liang Huang?!"
After he spoke, another Supreme God was attracted and said, "Han Zhou remains the best-selling novelist among all active writers. Only the fairy tale masters of the previous generation have higher sales than him. Currently, no one in the country is qualified to evaluate Han Zhou's books."
Someone responded: "Books are only compared in sales?"
This Supreme God: "Books are not compared in sales, but in who has more commas in their books? Funny."
One netizen responded: "Hahaha, you're right. If you don't want to read a book, you might as well write a diary."
On the Internet, the dispute between the two sides is actually very intense.
In fact, the root cause is just one truth.
Some people think that they are of higher class after reading a certain book, so they look down on people who read other books and start to speak out against them.
A while ago, a big UP host on Bilibili posted a long video about this phenomenon and said, "Just because the books you read are high-quality doesn't mean you are high-quality. Just because you think the books you read are high-quality doesn't mean they are really high-quality."
This sense of superiority exists in all walks of life.
For example, people who live in a first-tier city may say that others who live in a second-tier city are country people.
For example, someone who drives a joint venture car says that those who drive domestic cars are poor.
There are heated arguments like this on the internet every day.
Most people, even if they only read world classics, would not think that people who only read joke collections are of low class.
Even if you drive an imported car, you won’t think that people walking are low.
Only a small number of people always like to feel superior.
These things have nothing to do with high-end resistance, but everything to do with choice.
Someone posted online that he had never taken the subway, and then someone else mocked him, saying, "How can there be people who have never taken the subway? How unsophisticated."
Others responded seriously, "I have never taken the subway. I was born in the northwest, and we don't have subways here. Have you ever seen potatoes? Have you ever seen potatoes being dug? You think I have never seen the world, but seeing the world does not mean seeing the surface. Seeing the world means seeing all aspects."
From a certain perspective, unless someone has loved and read everything from joke collections to online literature, to classic masterpieces, to traditional novels, to Western novels, to South American novels, to the literature of the Bear Country, and so on, it is impossible to compare these things horizontally to see which is better or worse.
But human energy is limited, and such people do not exist.
Therefore, no one is qualified to define or evaluate a type of literature.
Of course, on the Internet, most people are sober and stand on a neutral perspective, and their thinking soon becomes unified.
You just write novels with a pen, so you think that people who write novels with a keyboard are inferior? Is it meaningless? Just because they are entertaining doesn't mean their work is meaningless.
If you think this is advanced, you might as well use a carving knife to write on bamboo slips, which is more advanced.
If all else fails, tying knots on a rope to take notes is a more advanced method.
Of course, those elderly people in their fifties and sixties in the China Writers Association are inherently conservative. How could they possibly read reviews online?
When Han Zhou arrived at the venue, many people came to watch.
Many people brought their copies of "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils" to ask Han Zhou to sign them.
Han Zhou also wrote "Jin Gu Liang Huang" instead of writing Han Zhou to save trouble.
However, some people still say sarcastically: "I am too old to be an online writer, but my son is an online writer."
An online writer nearby looked over with dissatisfaction.
Han Zhou glanced at him and said nothing. What if the other person’s son really wrote online articles?
Someone said, "Your son is more sensible than you."
This man is the vice chairman of the Writers Association. It is courageous of this online writer to criticize him to his face.
Han Zhou even saw an old acquaintance, Wang Kai.
Han Zhou knew that these people were not united among themselves.
At the beginning, there was a big war of words between the Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai areas where the vice chairman was located and the Beijing circle where Wang Kai was located.
However, it was not as interesting as the blog war between a certain Han writer and the Beijing circle that I saw in my previous life.
But the times have passed, and they are about to be buried together.
Now, even with the new era and new form of online writers rushing towards them, they still cannot unite internally.
It can be said that they are a group of loose sand and a mob.
However, there were still people who stepped forward to take the lead at the scene.
The meeting hasn't started yet, everyone is idle, and the media are not here. If they are here, they haven't taken out their cameras yet.
Wang Xie stood up: "Han Zhou."
Everyone looked over.
Wang Xie sneered: "Don't think that if the Literature Award is given to you in order to expand its influence, you will be eligible to win it."
Someone in the crowd shouted, "Do you have to admit it before I can change the encyclopedia?"
The crowd laughed.
Wang Xie: "Your book is not worthy."
Han Zhou was happy.
Before he could say anything, someone said, "Wang Xie, everything you have written in your life is not even worth a single chapter of Journey to the West."
Some people laughed loudly and unrestrainedly.
Someone stood up to support Wang Kai: "What's the point of this kind of fantasy novel?"
Someone immediately jumped out: "It's more meaningful than participating in a travel model selection TV show."
It seems that everyone has been holding grudges for a long time, and this time with the Han Zhou brand standing out, many people charged forward.
The curse is not dirty, but it hurts more than bad words.
Someone stood up and said: "We are all educated people, making a living, why bother?"
Someone stood up and said, "Who is a cultured person? I'm just a writer on the Internet. What culture do I have?"
Someone even exposed his true colors: "You, who didn't even graduate from junior high school, call you an educated person?"
Someone else said: "Who hasn't read a book now? You don't think you are an elite intellectual, do you?"
The scene was in chaos.
The organizing committee is overwhelmed.
In fact, the people on the main committee are not authors in the circle.
Instead, he is a professor of literature at seven universities in China and the former editor-in-chief of four major media outlets.
These people have no conflicts of interest or interest relationships with the writers on the scene, and they do not take sides.
Someone was about to stop them, but was stopped by someone next to him: "The grudges are deep, leave them alone, let them quarrel."
Since ancient times, scholars have looked down on each other, and it is normal for writers to curse each other because of their different positions.
Don’t even talk about things like that which involve eating and how much money you make.
Even the question of which is better, plum blossoms or snowflakes, has been debated in the literary and poetry circles for thousands of years without a definitive conclusion.
Han Zhou sighed.
Originally, this matter had nothing to do with me.
When people quarrel now, it’s all because of the resentment accumulated over the past decade or so.
But things started from me.
I don't want to take sides, but traditional writers seem to naturally stand on the opposite side.
And most of the new generation stood behind them.
If I just slip away as if nothing happened, I would be letting these people down.
Secondly, the purpose of this clown Wang Xie is just to criticize himself?
Han Zhou spoke up: "Wang Xie."
Everyone looked over.
Han Zhou looked at Wang Xie and said, "The last time I saw you, I had heard of you, but I had never read your book."
“I saw it recently.”
Everyone thought Han Zhou was going to use his ultimate move.
Han Zhou: “Not bad.”
Wang Xie was ready to fight, but he didn't expect Han Zhou to say that, and he suddenly didn't know what to say.
Han Zhou Lehe, have you learned the writing technique of first praising and then criticizing? This technique is taught in elementary school and is the most useful.
"But it's far inferior to 'Hong Huang'."
There was laughter at the scene.
Han Zhou continued: "Whose tradition do you think your so-called traditional literature is? What are the classics about? Fantasy novels, romance novels, historical novels, there is no so-called traditional literature. You are talking about Western traditions, right?"
"What is so-called serious literature?"
"Do you think I can't write? No, I just don't want to write something that is worthless and meaningless."
"Only a wimp would write this."
"You want meaning? Then I'll give you meaning."
"Last time in the United States, I also won an award, and some people were not convinced, so I wrote an article on the spot."
"I won the award again this time, and some people are not convinced again."
"If you don't agree, just come out and take a walk."
"Give me a computer connected to the projector on site."
Write a book on the spot? Project it?
Han Zhou took a deep breath at this time. There was an article that was perfect to write today.
This is a story about a madman, a story about cannibalism.
It is suitable to be released in today's scene.
This novel is the first modern vernacular novel in history. Before its birth, modern vernacular writing did not exist.
However, this first modern vernacular novel must be ranked among the top three among all modern vernacular novels in history.
This article is also one of the top five short stories in the world.
These are all very polite statements.
To be precise, this novel is the second most classic and most important vernacular novel in China, and it is definitely one of the strongest and most meaningful novels in the world.
The computer is set up and the projector is on.
Han Zhou laid down: "Diary of a Madman"
The Diary of a Madman originally had a preface, but this preface certainly could not be written today.
Han Zhou's preface reads [It has always been this way, is it right? ]
Then wrote it.
【one】
[There is a very nice moonlight tonight.]
I haven't seen him for more than 30 years. When I saw him today, I felt very refreshed. I realized that the past 30 years were all a daze. I must be very careful. Otherwise, why would the Zhao family's dog look at me twice?
I have reason to be afraid.
At the scene, everyone was quietly watching Han Zhou typing.
Some people frowned, some people smiled happily.
This paragraph seems to be calling Wang Xie a dog?
But many people realized the significance and power of this beginning in a short period of time.
Diary of a madman, that is, the diary of a madman.
"Why did the Zhao family's dog look at me twice?" In just one sentence, a madman was brought to life!
Everyone present is a writer, and their various works inevitably involve characters such as lunatics, mental patients, and fools.
However, many people spent 100,000 words to write about a madman, and this madman is still very normal.
But, "Diary of a Madman" is just the opening, just one sentence, and the character has already gone crazy.
This kind of writing skills...there's no one at the scene who can even smell his exhaust fumes.
As the article continued, many people had forgotten about today’s dispute, forgot why Han Zhou was writing the book on the spot, and even forgot that it was Han Zhou who was writing it.
Everyone was invested in the article.
Cannibalism.
[It has always been like this, is it right? ]
【I myself was eaten, but I am still the brother of the cannibal. 】
[This history book has no dates, and the words "benevolence, righteousness, morality" are written on each page. I couldn't sleep anyway, so I read it carefully for half the night, and finally I could see the words between the lines. The whole book was written with two words: "eat people"! ]
【Everything must be studied before it can be understood.】
Everyone was silent.
I don’t know whether it was fear, admiration, shock, sadness, or worship.
Everyone watched quietly.
Han Zhou tapped the keyboard lightly and wrote the last paragraph.
【Thirteen
There are no cannibalistic children, or are there?
Save the children…
November 11, 2024】
The scene was silent.
What is the meaning of this article? Every word in this article has the meaning of crushing Mount Tai!
Can you tell whether this article is good or bad? Everyone here is a book writer, so who can't tell?
The significance of this article is that it has caused pain to many elderly people at the scene, very great pain.
You are the one who is eating people. You are the cannibal mentioned in the article, and you are also the one who is being eaten.
A madman, a cannibal, a fierce man of the times.
In his previous life, the author of "To Live" had to recite Mr. Lu's articles when he was learning textbooks when he was young. He was so angry that he was annoyed when he saw his books, so he used Mr. Lu's complete works as pads for the table legs.
Once, someone wanted to remake Mr. Lu’s novel into a movie and asked him if he could help adapt the script.
He went to read Mr. Lu's book for the first time in his adult life.
From the moment I read this "Diary of a Madman", my previous hatred for Mr. Lu disappeared, and I read the entire collection without sleep or food.
When the businessman asked him again if he could change the script, he said, "Let Mr. Lu go and don't ruin his work."
There are only two kinds of people in the world. The first kind is those who know that Mr. Lu is the world's number one novelist, and the other kind is those who have not read the complete works of Mr. Lu.
Of course, Han Zhou was still a long way from being that shocked.
But when "Diary of a Madman" was taken out at the scene, no one dared to speak.
No one dared to speak, no one dared to open their mouths.
Some people even wonder why this person can write about madmen and lunatics so exquisitely and vividly?
Could it be that he is it?
Or is it that...in fact, this world is crazy, and he is the normal person, and we crazy people think he is a lunatic?
Seeing that no one was speaking, Han Zhou sighed and said, "It's almost time for the awards ceremony. Everyone, get ready."
It was as if a switch had been turned on at the scene.
Everyone on the organizing committee stood up and did their own thing.
And each writer began to quietly look for his own position.
After taking his seat, a writer took a deep breath and said, "I am willing to exchange all my books for a madman's diary..."
Wang Xie stood there, motionless.
Someone tried to pull him to sit down, but he didn't move.
Before the award ceremony began, Wang Xie walked down the aisle, and when he passed Han Zhou, he turned around and fell to the ground.
Then he turned around, tears streaming down his face, and left the venue with heavy steps.
If we say that the last time O. Henry was brought out in the United States, it was to show off his skills, to demonstrate his level, his strength, and to suppress doubts.
So this time, Han Zhou invited Mr. Lu to come out because he expressed his regret for the literary world.
Everyone obviously has a lot of important things to do, but they are arguing about these trivial matters every day. Do you know what to do now?
More people are wondering when they can write such a novel.
Someone sighed: "Han Zhou said that there is no difference between high and low articles, but his article is obviously a hundred or a thousand times better than mine."
The person next to him patted him on the shoulder and said, "Han Zhou is right. His articles are not better than ours."
"His thoughts are a thousand times, ten thousand times higher than ours."
"Just getting a little closer to him might be a great success for you and me, right?"
After deliberating over the literary awards, there were no more surprises and the awards were given out one by one.
Han Zhou returned to Shudu with the trophy of the Tuikao Literature Award.
The fact that "Hong Huang" won the Tuikao Literature Award also made it to the hot lists of major media portals and Weibo.
Liu Tiantan's mouth was crooked from smiling.
