Chapter 8 little britain

I saw a news a few days ago, to the effect that a teenager is going to England to study literature, accept the influence of pure English literature, and strive to win the Nobel Prize for Literature as soon as possible.Let's look at some newspapers with summaries: "After Ba Jin, no one in China can be called a master in the literary world, but this situation will not last long, and the next master may be me." Li, a young Shanxi writer who started writing novels in the third grade of elementary school and has published 4 works so far, yesterday He went to Chengdu to take the IELTS test, and his goal was to study literature in Edinburgh, UK. For this reason, he didn't even register for this year's college entrance examination.Li's plan is to study literature while writing in the UK. The Nobel Prize for Literature has become his biggest goal after arriving in the UK.

"I grew up reading English literature, so I have a special complex in it. In the future, I will spend four years reading as much as possible in the collection of books in the British Imperial Museum. I hope that I can translate my works in English for readers around the world. can see." Since I was young, I have always admired those who study literature. What is there to study in illusory literature?But there are really people who study it, and China seems to be doing a good job in this industry now, and or "Three Kingdoms" is basically not read, but the books written by people who study these three things are very popular.Maybe it looks the same as it did in the past, eating melon seeds in my hand while looking back and then breaking up with my colleagues, that is quite cultured.

The boy is about to study literature.Although he was born in China, he has watched Great Britain since he was a child, and he himself feels superior to others.Of course, he thinks those square words "Oh my God, please tell me what happened" he read is English literature, so let's take him as English literature.But if you finish reading the collections of the "British Museum" (isn't it just a museum in England, you need to put it so bluffingly), what does it have to do with the Nobel Prize for Literature? Our poor Chinese writers and Chinese directors have been fooled by Nobel and Oscar.I suggest that these two awards be dedicated to China.If it is a male artist, it can be given a consolation prize; if it is a female artist, it can be given a consolation prize.Twenty must be prepared for China every year, otherwise, how many Chinese artists will go crazy.

I don't understand what we have to regret.The vastness of our Chinese characters is really incomparable to letters. I don’t need to say this. I have always resisted my works being translated into English. Up to now, I am very proud to announce that I have no English copyright for any of my eight books. Authorized.Because I don't believe that a good translator can turn my book well.Gao Xiaosong wanted to sue me last year, but I summed up the matter by saying "the height is too cold". I don't know how to translate this.Although not even giving an English copyright will make a lot of less money, but at least it saves me from being disgusted.I also like the Nobel Prize, because there are a lot of prize money.But if someone says that your work was favored by a certain Nobel judge, it’s just that there are some parts of your Chinese that foreigners don’t understand very well, so I need to modify it according to the characteristics of English.My answer is three words, fuck you.I think that if one day our coal mining boss in Shanxi spends 10 million US dollars to set up the World Coal Mining Literature Award, there will be many famous foreign writers who will regret not getting the coal mining award.Although 10 million US dollars may not be a big number in the eyes of foreign best-selling authors.I also believe that many low-brow writers in China really go for fame instead of money.They would secretly laugh when they imagined that they would win an award one day.I can see that this writer's work is imitating the style of the last Nobel Prize. This writer's work is to make Zhang Yimou like this novel and then make a movie. This writer pursues low points and only wants a "Mao Dun Literature Award". .Many famous Chinese writers are promising in this regard.

This boy will write in English in the future, and at the age of 19, the purpose of writing is for the Nobel Prize, and he believes that the next master of China is himself. Young man, let me tell you, in the eyes of the master, any award is trivial, and the purpose of the master's actions is even less likely to be for an award, and the master did not become a master after being affirmed by a jury, the master They will not give up their mother tongue for an award (the above master titles do not include respected judges and teachers).Although the level of Chinese writers is not good enough, and they are noisy, but the charm of the Chinese language cannot be denied.The reality is that the apes on both sides of the strait can't keep crying, and they don't know the blessings in the blessings.Let me tell you a secret from the news. The Nobel Prize has been in financial trouble for the past two years. Maybe one day the Nobel Prize will be suspended. At that time, you, a Chinese quasi-master who writes in English, this Will a master who writes for an award not for himself or for readers (writing for readers is cheap enough), will his outlook on the world and life collapse?

Presumably, under the influence of English literature, your first reaction must be: Oh, my God.Section 17: Some answers (1) some answers Recently, a reporter keeps asking me about the list of the richest writers. The dictation is not clear, and it is easy to take the meaning out of context. Here is a general answer. If the reporter has this question, they don’t have to ask me. I think that an author's royalties are very easy to investigate and transparent. If I am free one day, I can also arrange one.Because the author's royalties are about the same, the number of prints can be seen, and the book price is there. Multiply the three and subtract more than 10% of personal income tax.

Writers are considered a happy industry in China, there is no pressure from the boss, and there is no intrigue among colleagues.No sun and rain.This kind of income is very good in China's national conditions.But we can see that the sum of the books written by these people in this life is not as much as a book written by an ordinary best-selling author abroad.We are also known as a culturally rich country with such a large population, and the book prices are not expensive compared to the average salary. Therefore, this only shows that our book sales are small, there are many pirated copies, and the supervision of the cultural department is not effective.Just imagine, the richest writer in the country with a population of 1.3 billion has less than one million pounds in his life, so he doesn't want to be laughed at by other countries.
