Entertainment starts with travel

Chapter 431 Winning
After returning home, Ye Kai re-read the short story written in Iceland.

I feel that it is really feasible to shoot it into a movie, mainly because the real plot is a bit monotonous. Ye Kai added some twists and turns to the plot. In the end, the hero lost his job, but got love.

In addition, this trip of the male protagonist can be regarded as a turning point in his life. No matter what job he does from now on, he will not lack self-confidence as before, and will only daydream.

If it's done well, the audience should love such a story.

…………

After resting for a few days, Sun Liying was going to attend an awards ceremony. She asked Ye Kai to prepare at home. The organizer said that it was possible to connect with Ye Kai at any time.

This is the official reminder to Ye Kai, the meaning is self-evident...he won the award.

The full name of this literary award is Zhou Ping Literature Award, which was established in the 90s and is the only award in China that can accept English novels like Harry Potter.

In fact, many of Ye Kai's works have won awards in the past two years, but because the organizers have not been able to contact Ye Kai, they canceled Ye Kai's awards and awarded them to others.

The Zhou Ping Literature Award is one of the top ten domestic literature awards. If Sun Liying hadn't found out when she read Ye Kai's private letter, Ye Kai probably didn't know about it at this time.

1 month 17 day.

Ye Kai watched the broadcast of the awards ceremony at home, many people in it were domestic writers whom Ye Kai was familiar with, and there were some photographers among them.

After checking on Baidu, I found out that in addition to awarding some novels or literary works, the Zhou Ping Literature Award also included emerging photography literature, which is why I saw many photographers.

After all, which photographer has not published two photography books?Ye Kai himself has been out before, but it was all the year before last.

"... Now it is awarded the Best Long Story Award. The nominees are Fan Xin's "Walking with the Master of Fine Arts", Wang Jia's "The Birth of a Chinese Man", Peng Zeping's "April, the Most Beautiful Spring" Ye Kai, "Harry" Potter"..."

Judging from the video, the atmosphere at the scene was quite tense.

This award is the highlight of every year. It is equal to the best film in the film and television industry. It is the most important award in this awards ceremony. Several nominated contestants are scanned by the camera one by one.

Although they were all smiling, it was easy to see their nervousness.

Even Sun Liying, who went to attend the award ceremony instead of Ye Kai, looked at the host expectantly... Hey, do you have to do this, isn't it just an award?
Compared to other people's suits and leather shoes, Ye Kai was wearing a shirt at home and eating melon seeds.

Although he read his name, Ye Kai didn't feel nervous at all. He didn't care whether he could get the award. For him, he could accept it or not, and he could live his life as usual, and it wouldn't affect his money.

Harry Potter has earned enough money, Ye Kai even wants to donate a sum of money.

In the video, the host is wearing a red sparkling suit, holding a microphone in his right hand, and holding a half-open envelope in his left hand, which contains a card with the work of the grand prize winner.

"Who is the final grand prize winner? To be honest, I am also looking forward to it. I have read all the books that were nominated... Teacher Wang Jia is sweating from the heat. Is the air conditioner in our venue not very good?"

The host dragged the atmosphere for 5 minutes before he took out the card contentedly.

After taking a look, the host said, "Oh, it's him!" He took a deep breath and shouted, "Congratulations...Congratulations to the author of Harry Potter, Mr. Ye Kai!!!"

It was raining heavily in the venue, and Sun Liying walked onto the stage with her dress skirt.

The host said:
"Before today, the youngest winner of our Zhou Ping Literature Award was 31 years old, but today, this record was broken. The 24-year-old teacher Ye Kai won this award that represents the pinnacle of Chinese literature... "

Seeing the warm atmosphere at the scene, Ye Kai suddenly had the thought of regretting not going.

A beautiful woman came up with a trophy, Sun Liying took it with a smile, then took the microphone from the host, calmed down and said:
"Due to some personal reasons, Mr. Ye Kai was unable to come to receive this award in person. I think this should be a pity... Before coming here, Mr. Ye Kai still asked me to convey his apology..."

The host said: "Let Teacher Ye Kai personally express this apology. Now is the age of technology, we can contact Teacher Ye Kai through video connection..."

Ye Kai's cell phone rang, and someone was sending a video request to Ye Kai through WeChat.

After clicking OK, Ye Kai's face appeared on the big screen at the awards ceremony.

The background is Ye Kai's study room. His smiling expression makes his temperament more sunny and youthful. He is not at all like the 25-year-old this year. People will believe that he has just stepped into the university campus.

"Hello everyone... I have been watching the broadcast of the awards ceremony on TV. Before I read my name, I never thought that I would win this award. To be honest, I was very scared..."

The host smiled and said: "Mr. Ye Kai, we all know that your Harry Potter book has sold 3000 million copies so far. How did you come up with the idea to write such a novel from the perspective of Western magic? "

"The novel was inspired by the library of Trinity University in Ireland, and it happened that I knew a little about some European cultures, so I thought of writing an English story. After all, this novel is about a story that happened in Europe, written in Chinese. Writing is likely to be nondescript.”

Next, Ye Kai thanked a few people who wanted to thank, basically a few editors who had helped him.

The editor-in-chief of Kom is far away in the UK, and the editor-in-chief of Zhou Kaiwen is in Changsha.

"The publication of this book was also very difficult at the beginning. I traveled all over the publishing houses in the UK. In the end, Mr. Kom agreed to sign this book, and Harry Potter's current achievements were made."

The host nodded and said, "It turns out that there are such twists and turns in the publishing process of Harry Potter, but I don't think any publishing house in any country will refuse to publish your work from now on."

"Thank you again, Mr. Ye Kai, for taking time out of his busy schedule to connect with us for the awards ceremony..."

Ye Kai didn't know if he blushed, but it was a little hot anyway.

In fact, it's just laziness. I don't have a few days to rest, and I have to go to Shanghai for a few days to participate in the literary award ceremony... If it is held in Rongcheng, Ye Kai should go to see it.

After hanging up the video, two literary figures were invited to comment on the book Harry Potter.

Maybe this book won't be liked by all the literary figures in China, but the people who will be invited to the award ceremony now will not speak ill of Ye Kai or Harry Potter, otherwise, wouldn't it be a slap in the face?
After watching for a while, Ye Kai turned off the video and clicked on the code word software after all the awards were distributed.

I still have to write a travelogue in Iceland.

Writing travel notes is mainly for my future self, just like some people like to write diaries.

Of course, it would be even better if the travel notes I wrote can help some people who want to travel to Iceland, at least let them know that there is a hot dog stand in Reykjavik that tastes great.

There is a cemetery that can be used as a park to hang out.

In front of the famous scenic spot Geyser, there is a fast food restaurant whose mutton soup is very delicious.
