The Nobel Prize is a European-led literary award. More than 50% of the winners are Europeans. More methods are given to European writers. Writers from other countries may have to spend a lot of effort to get into the eyes of the judges. .
It is worth mentioning that there are several other Chinese writers on this odds list, with Yan Lianke ranking 39th. His works have become popular overseas in recent years.
Needless to say, Xinhuanet's status in the domestic media goes without saying. It was only when Chen Jiaxuan saw these screenshots on Weibo that she knew Lin Han had joined the melee.
The domestic media are not idle either. Most of the time they don’t pay attention to media like Svenska Dagbladet, but there are employees who keep an eye on the BBC and AFP for a long time. After all, they are one of the three largest news agencies in the world.
So judging from the real situation, who among these two people is likely to be the final winner
The news that Lin Han has successfully advanced to the shortlist and entered the final selection round was released through the "Svenska Dagbladet", and the authenticity is at least 80%!
Some people joked that it is not news that Haruki Murakami is at the top of the prediction list. It would be news if he was not at the top of the list. Of course, the biggest news will be when the runner ends his ten thousand years of running.
The Nobel Prize in Literature is not just awarded to people in purely literary circles. It can be those who write novels, poems, and screenplays. It also includes other works that embody literary value in form and content.
A piece of news from Stockholm caused an uproar in the world, reminding people that the annual speculation is about to begin again.
Haruki Murakami is very similar to DiCaprio before this year. Since 2009, he has been regarded as a popular candidate for the Nobel Prize in Literature for many years, but he has always been a runner-up and has never won!
Chen Jiaxuan didn’t know what was going on in Lin Han’s head. She read out the script: “In addition to Haruki Murakami at the top of the list and Lin Han at the third place, the second place Kenyan writer Nguzi Wa Tiango , American writers Philip Roth and Joyce Carroll, and Israeli writer Amos Oz, they are all popular writers competing for the Nobel Prize every year. Because they are mentioned every year, they are very popular every year. It’s popular, so the probability of winning is not high.”
Why can "Svenska Dagbladet" reveal the news about Lin Han, and why so many people still believe it.
In this way, will you get extra points as a writer in an unpopular genre
In recent years, more and more writers have been shortlisted for the prediction list, and eventually won the Nobel Prize. There is a synchronic trend between the Nobel Prize and the prediction list, which proves that gambling companies must have access to information channels that ordinary people do not have.
Agence France-Presse and the BBC were very efficient and reprinted it one after another.
In other words, this award can be awarded to philosophers, religious writers, scientists and historians, provided that their works not only have artistic characteristics in literary expression, but also reflect high value in content.
"Dear, it is said online that the Nobel Prize is often awarded to a fresh face. I think you have a great chance!" Chen Jiaxuan said comfortingly.
Lin Han's head was constantly churning at the moment. The Nobel Prize likes to broaden literary horizons and confirm literary achievements. Many award-winning writers have broadened literary horizons. If they don't win, they may be forgotten.
Over the years, this writer from Japan has watched countless writers on the odds list win the Nobel Prize, leaving him alone!
"The authoritative media revealed the short list. Lin Han ranked among the top five in the odds list and is expected to become the first science fiction writer to win the Nobel Prize for Literature in the history!"
In other words, some people in the Academy of Liberal Arts spend most of their time encouraging those unpopular writers who are thoughtful. Many world-famous writers have never won the Nobel Prize. For example, Tolstoy and Kafka did not win. prize!
Now Lin Han's odds are still steadily decreasing, which proves that his probability of winning is getting higher and higher!
"The 2018 Nobel shortlist is released, and Lin Han may become the youngest nominee!"
On the odds list published by Unibet, a world-famous gambling company, Lin Han, a young Chinese science fiction writer who competed for the Nobel Prize for Literature for the first time, has been rising in the rankings. He has advanced from outside the list to third place today. Murakami Haruki now ranks first!
Chen Jiaxuan took her mobile phone and quickly checked. For a writer, it is very rare to be promoted to the short list. Winning the award can only depend on luck.
Xinhuanet quickly followed up, directly gave a translated version, and made a lot of speculation!
Lin Han had never heard of the other few people at all, and he didn't know how foreign gambling companies paid such high prices for these writers!
The day when the real truth will come out will probably have to wait until October, so let’s wait and see! "
From competing with Mo Yan to Lin Han now, it feels like he has been accompanying two entire generations in a daze.
Most of the people in front of me are old faces. I am afraid that the judges of the Swedish Academy have read their works several times, and it is impossible for this group of people to be shortlisted repeatedly. This is not to stifle other writers. opportunity
But the work is too popular and attracts too much attention. Such writers no longer need to use the Nobel Prize in Literature to attract readers' attention. This has become a deduction item.
If it were other media, there would definitely be more doubts from the outside world.
"Let me see what competitors you have this year."
"Recently, while we are still immersed in the shock of Lin Han's The Matrix series, Sweden in Northern Europe has begun the annual Nobel Prize selection event. According to the latest reports from authoritative foreign media, China's science fiction Writer Lin Han and Japanese writer Haruki Murakami will most likely be competitors for this year's Nobel Prize in Literature. This year's Nobel Prize in Literature will be awarded to these two writers.
The so-called Nobel Prize in Literature is actually the Swedish Academy Prize. Its name and prize money come from Nobel's legacy, but the power of judging and awarding awards is in the hands of the Swedish Academy.
The Swedish Academy is an official academic structure, funded by the Swedish king and government, and Svenska Dagbladet is the organ of the ruling party and can be regarded as the mouthpiece of the government!
I don’t know if the old guys at the Swedish Academy like science fiction, or if they would like to see a young science fiction writer from China win a literary award!
But judging from last year's prediction results, people seem to have added some hope for Murakami Haruki to win this year, because the author who won last year surpassed Haruki Murakami at the last minute and topped the prediction list.
