Chapter 345: The work of conferred gods

Lin Zixuan made this decision after careful consideration.

The Nobel Prize in Literature has never been fair. Although it has a great influence in the world, it was selected by a group of academicians from the Swedish Academy of Literature.

In other words, this award is in the hands of a small group of people.

Their judgment criteria are not just about writing talent, but also many factors.

Personal preferences, prejudice against authors outside Europe, and political factors, etc.

Lin Zixuan was too young and was not yet able to win the prize. Even if he was shortlisted, he would just run with him, so he simply refused.

It is not difficult for him to nominate. He believes that after next year, he will definitely become famous in the world literary world.

Once the novel "1984" was published in Western society, whether it was praise or criticism, it would make him the focus.

By then, those on the Nobel Committee will not turn a blind eye to him.

Controversial novels are often shortcuts for writers to become famous.

For example, British writer Lawrence's "Son and Lover" and Soviet writer Nabokov's "Lolita", etc.

"1984" is such a novel that has been controversial since its publication.

For Lin Zixuan, this may be a good thing, which will make him truly famous, and become an internationally renowned figure, just like Roman Rolland of France and Gorky of the Soviet Union.

As the saying goes, if someone slanders, someone will praise you.

In the West, someone must have brought Lin Zixuan to the altar because of this novel.

"Lord of the Flies" gave him a place in the Western literary world, and "1984" is a work of the gods.

Of course, the creation of the gods is just the beginning. If he wants to have a stable divine character, he still needs to continue to write more classic works.

This is not a difficult task for Lin Zixuan, so he is not very interested in the news revealed by Sven Heding.

Lin Zixuan sent a telegram to Peiping, declaring his position and must not sacrifice national interests for a nomination.

In order to avoid suspicion, even if Svenheding said his name, he would refuse.

The historian from Shanghai couldn't help but feel awe when he received the telegram.

This is the Nobel Prize in Literature. I just gave up, even if I can’t win the award. It would be nice to have a nomination.

He was in Peking, in a whirlpool, and he knew very well how much shock the news revealed by Swen Heding had brought to the Peking cultural community, and everyone was talking about it.

Everyone has their own little thoughts.

Among them, Liang Qichao had the highest call. He was the leader of Chinese traditional culture, and no one could match his knowledge and qualifications.

He has accepted many disciples over the years, made countless friends, and has deep connections in the Chinese literary world, so naturally some people have created momentum for him, and even many people in the Crescent Society highly praised him.

Hu Shi is not in China, so not many people mention him.

Liu Bannong prefers Luxun, but Luxun is in Xiamen, and things are not yet decided.

Some people support Lin Zixuan, but the number is very small. This is Peking, not Lin Zixuan's home court.

Last time Lin Zixuan returned from abroad, the newspapers reported when he won the Nobel Prize in Literature, as if everyone was looking forward to it. In fact, it was just that the newspapers were making noises for sales and could not be taken seriously.

That is the opinion of the media, not the opinion of the cultural community.

Now that we really have this opportunity, we start to plan our own plans.

This is the Nobel Prize in Literature, and even nominations are a great honor.

The troubles in Peking have little impact on Lin Zixuan. He does not intend to interfere in other people's actions.

But if someone dares to do something that harms the national interests in negotiations with the Swedish delegation, he will not ignore it.

Hong Shen has returned to Shanghai from Guangdong, and Lin Zixuan has put his mind on the movie "The Storm of the Sino-Japanese War of 1894".

Hong Shen was very smart and in order to complete the movie, he attracted a group of extras under the banner of filming a Northern Expedition movie, and these actors had no idea what movie to shoot.

Hong Shen told them that the scene of a warlord killing was filmed.

Only the students he brought over from the Drama Club of Fudan University know the inside story, and these students play Japanese soldiers.

Hong Shen tried his best to buy the color film, but he couldn't get the desired effect.

He finally painted the houses and streets in the scene into black and white, and the actor put on black and white clothes. Everything in the whole shot is black and white.

When the little girl in red clothes walked by, it looked very weird, like a horror movie.

Lin Zixuan was shocked when he saw it for the first time.

If there is computer software for post-processing, it will be more natural, and this is the only way to go in this era.

Everything is going on in secret.

The final editing work was completed by Dan Du Yu, who is a versatile talent in the film industry.

This movie has been edited with two versions, one is a deleted version that fools the Japanese, and the other is a real screening version.

Lin Zixuan made five copies, and before the movie was screened, he sent one copy to the United States, and the other copy was sold to Nanyang film dealers who often cooperated with, and the remaining copies of the movie were left for screening in Shanghai.

This is to prevent the film from being banned by the concession authorities.

Lin Zixuan claimed that the film was completed and invited the news media to participate in the film's preview to promote the film.

He knew that the Japanese had never given up spying on intelligence and wanted to see the movie's complete film, which was just a chance.

At the preview, Hatanha, president of Japan Oriental News Agency, came in person, who was a student of Soka Kotaro.

In 2019, Soba Kotaro passed away and Hatanohara took over as president of Oriental News Agency. He graduated from the East Asia Tongwen Academy in Shanghai. He is a China Communications Agency and has made many Chinese friends.

For example, Yu Daxiong from Shenzhou Daily once studied in Japan and had a good time running newspapers, but later became a traitor.

The version Lin Zixuan screened to the news media was an abridged version. Although it promoted patriotism, it was just right and did not hurt the Japanese nerves, which made Hadobo quite satisfied.

After watching the movie, Hadobo couldn't help but feel relieved.

Whether it is quality or publicity, the movie of the celebrity film company cannot be compared with their "Sino-Japan Naval War".

The so-called Chinese blockbuster is just a joke. This time, Lin Zixuan will be defeated.

Even so, he still protested against many plots in the movie, believing that he was vilifying the Japanese Navy and asking Lin Zixuan to make modifications. He was looking for trouble for nothing and causing trouble for Lin Zixuan.

In order to dispel the Japanese's doubts, Lin Zixuan argued with reason and did not give in, fully demonstrating an actor's self-cultivation.

Hadobo left in a furious manner, threatening to give Lin Zixuan a good look.

Both of them just talk casually.

On December 31, 1926, "The Sino-Japanese War of 1894" will premiere at the Xialing Peck Deluxe Cinema in the French Concession.

The Japanese candidate screened "The Battle of Sino-Japanese" on the same day and will premiere at the Calden Luxury Theater on Parker Road in the Public Concession.

When the premiere dates of the two movies were published in "Shen Bao", it aroused strong curiosity among readers.
