Chapter 175

At night, Rose Manor.

Shenjun's black horse drives into the manor with a carriage. Count Henrietta gets out of the carriage and drags his tired body back to his study. He throws down his coat at will and collapses on the sofa. He relaxes with all his heart. As soon as he closes his eyes, he falls into a trance. The illusion makes him very busy at this time.

In addition to count Monte Cristo, he pondered with his chin. One after another, some people used photographic crystals to shoot illusions and wanted to cooperate with the cinema. However, no one could produce any excellent works in such a short period of time. A large number of so-called photographers came to let count Henrietta realize that the illusions business is not just about earning a vote.

"Maybe we should also shift our focus to the mirage career. After all, fiction is a mature field, and I am not a novelist. I can never stand at the top of this field. Mirage is quite different. It is a new industry. It is sought after by people and has huge market potential. Just like the railway industry which was only interested in decades ago, at that time people thought that the railway industry had no interest. Now even the royal family needs to set up a special railway department to manage transportation. "

The old housekeeper knocked on the door, poured him a cup of black coffee, and put the newspaper in front of him.

The strong bitterness stimulates count Henrietta's spirit. He picked up today's newspaper and saw at a glance that Harvey's new novel the dark age was about to be published in the newspaper. Later, several literary newspapers gave their comments.

The content of the novel has not been officially disclosed, and the evaluation content of these literary newspapers and periodicals does not seem very polite.

"Harvey Adrian, the controversial winner of Bauhinia Award, is about to launch his new novel the dark age. It is reported that it is a fantasy epic theme. Mr. Okam Clark, a famous literary critic, thinks that the selection of novel materials is too frivolous and does not have too much literary quality, Others think it's Mr. Harvey Adrian's preparation for the next phantom《 Norton today. "

"Mr. Harvey Adrian's new novel after two months, or to quell the recent controversy over his winning the Bauhinia Award《 The little canal times. "

"Mr. Reynolds Scott, the author of the poem cold branches of the cliff, thinks that Mr. Harvey Adrian is not a pure novelist. The fact that the count of Monte Cristo won the Bauhinia Award is driven by mirage, which has no reference significance."《 "Star Magazine"

"The voice of doubt! Count Henrietta, vice president of the Literary Association, was accused of operating behind the scenes《 The literary times. "

······

"What are these reports about?" Count Henrietta frowned as he read the papers one by one, and his face turned pale. He was very angry at these malicious guesses and irresponsible remarks. With so many newspapers and magazines publishing this event at the same time, I know with my toes that someone must be behind the scenes, and the controversy caused by Harvey's winning the Bauhinia Award recently is like adding fuel to the fire.

In addition to Harvey, the criticism also points to count Henrietta himself. In the report, he is accused of being too utilitarian. Recently, he seldom takes care of the affairs of the Literary Association. Instead, he "does nothing" to stir up the emerging industry of mirage. It is precisely because of the utilitarian attitude of the Literary Association that the literary world of the kingdom is difficult to develop, The Bauhinia Award goes to novelists with only one work.

The content was empty and real, the dirty water was broken, the hat was put on, and so on. The sharp words made count Henrietta dead in the literary world.

"Father Faria said that well, if you want to know who hurt you, think about who is good for you." Count Henrietta slapped his fingers on the table and sneered to himself. He really committed a lot of crimes. There is only one person who has so much power to direct Norton publishing industry. He is the honorary president of the Literary Association, voyne hall, and the representative of the traditional literary faction.

"It's fast to say. No wonder he's so worried about the election of the president of the association this year." Count Henrietta touched his chin and said to himself in a tone of emotion.

The term of office of the president of the Literary Association is three years, and can be re elected once at most. This year is when the term of office of the president of the literary association expires. Honorary president Vern hall and himself are the most powerful candidates for the position of president.

More than half a year ago, count Henrietta might have dreamed of becoming the president of the literary society.

However, since he heard the applause that was enough to overturn the dome in the cinema a month ago, count Henrietta felt that his idea had been completely reversed. He clearly remembered the beating of his heart, the gushing of blood and the bowing of his heart under the applause, as if his whole head had been immersed in hot water, Count Henrietta felt for the first time at that time that there was something really worth pursuing.

Focusing on the mirage business, he didn't even notice the presidential election, which gave voyne hall the opportunity to launch the first round of attack.

"I have no intention of competing for this position, hall. If you want to play, I will play with you." Count Henrietta sneered. He didn't care about criticizing his report, but the evaluation of Harvey made him hard to accept. Before cooperating with Harvey, he thought he was the reader who was moved by count Monte Cristo. He really experienced the feeling of being changed by a novel.

Now the criticism of Harvey and the query of count of Monte Cristo by these literary journals are overthrowing all these, which can not be accepted by Harvey's collaborators or readers.

These malicious comments are aimed at fanning the flames for Harvey's winning the Bauhinia Award. Although not all of them are sure to stir up the approval of some novelists who are dissatisfied with Harvey's winning the award. These novelists just have the votes for the election of the president of the Literary Association. The way to solve the problem is very simple, as long as their works are excellent enough, All the rumors are self defeating.

Count Henrietta has this confidence.

He told the old housekeeper to bring back the magic potion and the original manuscript and outline of the dark age. He had finished reading the dark age and the outline of the novel a few days ago, and the evaluation of the dark age became the source of his confidence.

Count Henrietta studied the novel carefully until dawn, when he wrote down the special report of Norton's night in pen: "the real obstacle to the development of literature, ridiculous [literariness]."

Count Henrietta smiles excitedly when he decides the title of the report. He is a representative of the literary innovators. He has long been disgusted with the stubborn traditional ideas of the Literary Association. Now it is time to overthrow these traditional theories and open up a new era of literature. Count Monte Cristo and the dark age can be the most powerful representatives of tearing up these ridiculous theories.

"Literature is not a straight line. It can bend, turn at will, draw three-dimensional patterns, and even draw magnificent oil paintings like painters···

······

Focusing on the so-called literariness, limiting the subject matter and deep meaning of literature, and forcing literature to develop in a certain direction are exactly the biggest obstacles to promote the development of literature···

·····

The writer of the novel may be a woman who has no education, does not understand the real truth, does not understand those beautiful words, but who can better understand the trivia of life than them? They have seen the market and dealt with peddlers. They know how to survive. They can see the real face of the people at the bottom. Can't this be written as a book?

"Count of Monte Cristo" let me understand a truth, literature is the manifestation of reason and desire, is the representative of romance, it can be any one, also can integrate all···

······”

The fierce words overturn all the reports in literary journals, and they are really beating those leading literary scholars in the face. If this report is published, count Henrietta himself will certainly become the target of Norton's literary world. He doesn't care. He still has a way out.

What's more, these words are also his personal experience over the years. Harvey's appearance confirms his idea. If he fails, it will announce the end of his way in the literary world.
