I am really a language teacher

Chapter 137: The First Prize

Although Sun Ping said goodbye to Guo Yi seemingly calmly, the inner turmoil was surging.Thinking about what happened last night, Sun Ping still felt a little blush.Maybe it was because of the dead of night that he let go of all his defenses, but even facing such a naked self, Sun Ping still felt a trace of fear.

Although he didn't have to go to work today, Sun Ping left home on the pretext of going to the awards ceremony.Tomorrow happened to be the ceremony where the Writers Association presented the Qing Yun Award and the Golden Pen Award, and Sun Ping was also nominated for these two awards.

The Qingyun Award rewards outstanding young new writers. Authors who are under the age of 35 and who have published their first novel in a formal literary magazine for less than two years can nominate for this award.Then the Writers Association will give rewards according to the achievements of the nominated authors, generally divided into three levels: gold, silver, and bronze, and a total of 10 new authors will be rewarded.

For the Golden Pen Award, all writers who have published novels this year can be nominated. The highest award is the Best Novel Award of the Year, which is the Golden Pen Award; There are three departments of novels, and each department has a main award, which is the Silver Pen Award.

Naturally, Sun Ping was nominated for the Qingyun Award. At the same time, he was nominated for the Golden Pen Award and the Silver Pen Award for Best Novel for "The Plague", and also won the Silver Pen Award for Best Novelette for "Rashomon". nominate.Therefore, Sun Ping became one of the most watched writers at the Writers Association Annual Commendation Conference.And because of Sun Ping's own popularity, this commendation meeting actually attracted the attention of a lot of entertainment media, which surprised the Writers Association itself.

This year's commendation conference was held in Yuya City on Yashan Island. Yuya City is one of the top ten tourist cities in the Sinian Kingdom, so Sun Ping didn't mind attending the commendation conference here.It takes about one and a half hours to fly from Jiangnan International Airport in Xingtan City to Yuya City, and Sun Ping prepared a first-class cabin for himself.Since he can spend money to get better service, Sun Ping thinks it is worth it.

The weather in Taojiang City is already gloomy and cold. Fortunately, the classrooms, dormitories and lounges of No. [-] Middle School have central heating.And a few office rooms without heating also have air conditioners, so Sun Ping thinks it's okay.But as soon as he arrived in Yuya City, Sun Ping was caught off guard by the scorching summer air.Fortunately, the clothes Aunt Guo packed for Sun Ping were mainly spring and summer clothes, so there was no embarrassing scene of Sun Ping wearing a sweater to Yuya City.

At the exit of the airport, Sun Ping saw the pick-up staff arranged by the Writers Association.Sun Ping went over to say hello to them, and then a young boy came over. "Mr. Sun, I am a student of the Chinese Department of Yuya University, and I am also a volunteer for this Writers Association commendation conference. Now I will take you to the hotel to sign in, and at the same time, I will confirm with you the relevant matters of tomorrow's commendation conference and reception. ——You Where's your luggage?"

"I just brought a bag, it's fine." Sun Ping pointed to the backpack on his body.After all, it was just a short trip of two days and one night, so Sun Ping didn't have to bring a suitcase.In the schoolbag, apart from the clothes and toiletries that Sun Ping needs to change and wash, there are only his own notebook and the books he read on the plane.

Because Sun Ping was the nominee, the Writers Association still arranged a special car to pick him up, instead of waiting for a bus like other authors to set off together.Seeing Sun Ping receiving such courteous treatment at such a young age, he was naturally red-eyed.

But the vast majority of old authors still know the rules. Those who can make the organizers treat them so courteously are either long-established masters or popular nominees for various awards.These old writers are very clear that no matter whether it is a famous writer or a popular writer, they are not something they can offend.To put it bluntly, if I publish a book by myself in the future, I will have to ask these people to write a preface or write a postscript for help, so I don’t want to offend people just for a moment’s pleasure.

However, veteran authors know the rules, and some newcomers may not know the rules.Many newcomers think that being able to participate in this commendation conference will show how great they are, but they don't know that there is a sky outside the sky, and there are people outside the people.

Although those personal discussions were quite quiet, neither Sun Ping nor the volunteer who picked them up was deaf.Sun Ping didn't care, but the volunteer blushed.Sun Ping looked at him and said: "It's a mediocrity not to attract envy. You don't need to care about their words. You don't need to care whether I will be angry. If I am angry like this, I will die of anger a long time ago." Hundreds of times. This is only the literary circle, you go to the entertainment circle, I have heard more vicious statements than this."

"Teacher Sun, it's good that you don't get angry." Seeing that Sun Ping was not angry, the volunteer felt relieved a lot. "Mr. Sun, you have achieved so much in the literary circle, why do you want to join the entertainment circle? Don't you think that being in the entertainment circle is too low for your identity?"

Sun Ping smiled, the boy's ideas actually fit the current mainstream ideas.Sun Ping's public identity is a teacher, a young writer, and the creative director of an entertainment company. Teachers and writers are elite figures in society and are highly respected; while the creative director of an entertainment company sounds good, but in fact it is still a thing of the third class. .Everyone thinks that literati occasionally write pop songs or film and television scripts to entertain one or two people.But Sun Ping not only set foot in the entertainment circle, but also became a key figure and gossip in the entertainment circle, which made many old-school acquaintances feel that Sun Ping was not serious.Not only the Teachers' Association used this to attack him, but even the Writers' Association was no exception.

"Perhaps you don't believe me, I like the job of a teacher, but at the same time I feel that the entertainment industry is very attractive to me. I can't give up any of them, I can only say that it is important. As for writing, it is just my hobby." After finishing speaking, Sun Ping revealed a mysterious smile.

The boy was immediately convinced by Sun Ping's pretentious statement, thinking that this is the demeanor of a future literary master.When did a master of literature ever care about the thoughts of ordinary people? In ancient times, there were seven sages in the bamboo forest who drank wine and had fun wantonly. Isn’t it possible that a master of literature can live a chic life in the entertainment industry today?The young man immediately added a lot of content in his brain, so Sun Ping's image immediately became taller.

As a tourist city, the exhibition economy is obviously very important.Although the Writers Association is a poor association, the grade of the Writers Association is too high. Therefore, the commendation meeting of the Writers Association has been sought after by many five-star hotels in Yuya City, and finally chose to be held at the Phoenix Bay Hotel.Phoenix Bay Hotel is surrounded by mountains and sea, and has its own private beach, so it is a very popular hotel.The organizer prepared a double bed room for one person for Sun Ping, and there was no disturbance from others, so Sun Ping took a rest on the bed.

According to the volunteer's reminder, tonight is the welcome reception first, and it is also the annual meeting of the Writers Association. There will be some lucky draws at the meeting, which can be used to appease those who may not win the prize in advance.In addition to the lucky draw, the rest of the reception is for members to socialize.In addition to strong abilities, the profession of a writer also requires the affirmation and admiration of colleagues, so social time must be reserved.

At five o'clock in the afternoon, the hotel called to remind Sun Ping of the reception time.After Sun Ping found the suit that the hotel had rented for him, and changed into formal clothes, Sun Ping took the invitation letter from the Writers Association and walked towards the grand banquet hall on the first floor.Like all networking receptions, the Welcome Reception for the Writers' Association was rather boring.Sun Ping chatted for a while with a few acquaintances of the same generation or seniors with the wine glass, and then quietly sat aside to taste the delicious food.Compared with Yuya City, Taojiang City is an inland city, so the seafood is naturally not as rich and authentic as here, so Sun Ping seized the opportunity to feast on it.

The reception ended around ten o'clock. After all, on the one hand, I had to take care of the seniors in the Writers Association, and on the other hand, I didn't want to delay the commendation meeting the next day.Sun Ping also went back to his room, changed his clothes, took a shower, and went to bed.The commendation conference on the second day was filmed by the media and broadcast live on the Internet.So the organizer also specially arranged for Sun Ping to use the stylists, but fortunately, Sun Ping was born with good conditions, and he stood out from the crowd of authors after a while.

At the commendation conference, the Qingyun Award was first awarded, and the first to be announced were six bronze award winners, then three silver award winners, and finally the only gold award winner.As expected by Sun Ping and the "Mother Tongue" magazine, Sun Ping won the title of Qingyun Gold Award.On the podium, Sun Ping had to give a speech.

After winning the Qingyun Award, there will be some commendations and reviews within the Writers Association.Sun Ping sat quietly under the table, but his mobile phone received many congratulatory text messages.In addition, his own talk has also been washed.Seeing the enthusiasm of his fans, Sun Ping took a picture of the trophy and put it on his talk.Not surprisingly, this picture was immediately reposted by Sun Ping's fans, and it became a hot topic in an instant.

"It's great to win the Qingyun Award? If you have the ability to win the Qu Yuan Literature Award! Didn't you just rely on your own fans to get it out?" A voice that was neither yin nor yang drifted over.Sun Ping's complexion changed immediately, and his eyes became stern.

If it was just to criticize other things, Sun Ping really didn't care.But Sun Ping was a little unhappy when he was criticized for relying on his fame to get the award.Not to mention that the Qingyun Award is not a voting award, but a professional award, which is nominated and selected by a special committee.If it were for awards, Sun Ping could really make a big splash in the Writers Association.As Cai Xier's producer, Zhang Weiran's rumored boyfriend, plus the popularity of "Meteor Garden"... all these factors add up, Sun Ping's current popularity is comparable to that of an A-list star.And more importantly, although Sun Ping is too lazy to interact, but there are a lot of news about him, so Sun Ping's fans are also very active.Don't say a cloud piercing finger, thousands of troops will come to meet each other.If Sun Ping really wants to claim some popularity award, except for the top heavenly king and queen who shamelessly compete with him, there are really not many people in the country who will come.

Sun Ping replied flatly, "After you have won the Qingyun Award, then think about the Qu Yuan Literature Award. Don't covet the Quyuan Literature Award without even getting the Qingyun Award."
