No one expected that the next morning, the Ministry of Education would announce this on their homepage.
"After serious discussion and research by the Ministry of Education, 'The Song of the Stormy Petrel' and 'Tales of Hua Xia' written by Mr. Xiao Yunhai will be included in the textbooks for the fourth and fifth grades respectively. These two articles are full of positive energy. Confidence, courage, fearlessness, responsibility, faith, and other noble qualities are revealed between the lines. They are rare masterpieces … "
After the Ministry of Education's post was made public, it quickly caused a huge response in Hua Xia. In particular, Xiao Yunhai's fans were in an uproar.
"Yun Huang, I don't know what to say about you. You're my idol, my absolute idol. "
"Yun Huang, can you tell me, other than not being able to give birth, is there anything else you can't do?"
"Yun Huang, Yun Huang, unparalleled in the world. I've been shouting this slogan for years. Today, I realized that it's not worthy of you. Because of a bet, he casually wrote two articles and they were included in the textbooks of elementary schools. It's simply a legend. "
"Yun Huang, I love you to death. Your talent is too incredible. "
"When Yun Huang wrote Hua Xia songs, I knew that he would have this day sooner or later. Without a doubt, I warmly congratulate Yun Huang for his articles being included in the textbooks of elementary schools. "
Countless forums on the Internet were discussing Xiao Yunhai's matter.
It couldn't be helped. Almost all elementary school textbooks were representative works of deceased authors. Unless there were special circumstances, the works of living authors would not be included. Xiao Yunhai could be said to be a complete exception.
What was even more rare was that these two articles were included in the textbooks of elementary schools. Tens of thousands of netizens actually felt that it was inappropriate. It could be said that it had created a small miracle on the Internet.
Xiao Yunhai, who was originally working on the post-production of "Grandmaster" at Dream Special Effects Company, did nothing the entire morning. He just went to answer phone calls.
"Yun Hai, you're too awesome. This is simply unbelievable. "
"Yun Hai, congratulations on stepping into the status of a literary master at the age of 25."
"Third Brother, I realized that you're the son of miracles. Your articles can be included in the textbooks of elementary schools. My admiration for you is like a torrential river. "
… … ….
Without exception, all the directors and superstars that Xiao Yunhai knew in the industry called to congratulate him. For more than three hours, he received no less than 50 calls.
"Hubby, your phone is really busy. I've been calling for half an hour, "Zhao Wanqing said.
Xiao Yunhai said, "It's all because of everyone's congratulatory calls. Of Grandmaster of the Hua of the Of Of elementary schools What's so great? I don't care. "
Zhao Wanqing laughed and scolded, "Stop putting on an act here. Of Grandpa of Of Grandpa, Grandof Grandpa, of Of's... "
Xiao Yunhai asked: "The Old Master knows about this?"
Zhao Wanqing smiled and said, "Yes. Hearing from her father, Grandpa Sheng was overjoyed on the phone. He asked us all to go to his place for lunch this afternoon. He said that everyone wants to celebrate this matter. "
Xiao Yunhai said, "Alright. I'll be there soon. "
At noon, Xiao Yunhai came to the siheyuan and had a drink with the smiling old man.
Time flew, and a week passed quickly. Xiao Yunhai's matter was like a gust of wind that blew away quickly, and life returned to normal.
Xiao Yunhai was busy every day. If he wasn't playing with the two children at home, he would be dreaming about the later stages of his "Grandmaster". There was almost no entertainment.
Even if others were to look for him, Xiao Yunhai would rather stay at home than go out.
However, there were always exceptions.
On this day, Xiao Yunhai drove to a very good teahouse.
Walking into the appointed private room, Xiao Yunhai saw Bikven, who had invited him over, and a white man in his fifties, who was wearing glasses and had a gentle temperament.
"Director Bikven, long time no see. May I know who this gentleman is? "
Bikven introduced, "This is my good friend, Toby Stephens. He's the one who invited you today. "
"Mr. Stephens, nice to meet you."
"Mr. Xiao, nice to meet you too."
After some pleasantries, the three of them sat down. Xiao Yunhai took a sip of tea and said, "Mr. Stephens, may I know why you're looking for me?"
Toby Stephens said, "Mr. Xiao, I'm here to invite you to participate in the Oscars with '2012'."
Xiao Yunhai could not help but ask in surprise, "You're from the Oscars organizing committee?"
Bikven smiled and said, "Xiao, you don't seem to have been paying attention to Hollywood recently. Toby is the new chairman of the Oscars organizing committee. "
Xiao Yunhai suddenly understood and said, "I see. Unfortunately, Mr. Stephens, I'm sorry, but I can't promise you. "
Stephens said, "Mr. Xiao, I know you're very disappointed with last year's Oscars. However, I can assure you that this year's Oscars will be 100% fair and just. "
Xiao Yunhai's' 2012 'had the highest box office in history, with more than 20 billion US dollars. Many directors could only look on helplessly.
Moreover, it used 3D technology, which would definitely occupy a very important place in the history of film development.
If such a film did not participate in the Oscars selection, it would be a huge blow to the credibility of the Oscars.
Last year's scandal cast a thick shadow over the Oscars. In the hearts of film fans, the Oscars had completely changed. If they could not recover some of their reputation this year, the Oscars would really be finished.
Xiao Yunhai said, "I believe you can do this, but I still can't go. Haha, I've said before that I will never participate in the Oscars again. I, Xiao Yunhai, will definitely do what I say. I'm very sorry, Mr. Stephens, for making you come here for nothing. "
Bikven said, "Xiao, are you really not going to participate in the Oscars? I don't think this is a good idea. You shouldn't let your emotions affect your decisions. "
Xiao Yunhai said, "Director Bikven, you know my temper. I've always been a man of my word. "
No matter how Stephens and Bikven persuaded him, Xiao Yunhai did not agree.
What a joke. Last year, he said that he would not participate in the Oscars, but this year, he went back on his word. What would the fans think of him? What would the media say?
What's more, although the Oscars had chosen a new chairman and judges, they didn't make any major changes. They only added one or two Asian directors as judges symbolically. The essence hadn't changed. Xiao Yunhai wasn't interested in attending such an award ceremony.
Stephens finally sighed and said, "Mr. Xiao, you're too stubborn."
Xiao Yunhai shook his head and said, "This is not stubbornness. It's my principle."
After a while, Stephens left with regret, but Bikven stayed.
"Xiao, '2012' is an epoch-making film. It's a huge loss for the Oscars if it doesn't participate in the Oscars. It's also a huge blow to its credibility. Are you really not going to help it? "Bikven asked.
Xiao Yunhai said, "I can see that Mr. Stephens wants to do something for the Oscars and turn their current situation around. Unfortunately, he doesn't have the ability to do so. If the Oscars selection committee does not carry out earth-shattering reforms, it's undoubtedly a fool's dream to start afresh. "
Bikven nodded and said, "Yes, their system is too incomplete. I have a hunch that in a few years, Hollywood's Oscars will be replaced by Hua Xia's Golden Goblet. By the way, I forgot to congratulate you for '2012' winning five major awards. "
A few days ago, the organizers of the Hua Xia Golden Goblet International Film Festival announced the shortlist. '2012' won five awards: Best Screenplay, Best Cinematography, Best Visual Effects, Best Film, and Best Director.
Xiao Yunhai was not very satisfied with this because there were no acting awards. However, he also understood that the committee's choice was correct. In '2012', there was not much room for actors to express themselves. The real protagonist was a disaster.
