Chapter 117 Missing Manuscripts
Chen Haowei's title of "talented man" originated from the military training essay contest last semester. The article "Military Training 2 and Three Things" he wrote not only won the first prize in the essay contest, but was also published in the school newspaper, causing a sensation among the freshmen.
Chen Haowei, who started reading various excellent composition selections in the third grade, has the confidence and confidence to be able to bear this title. However, when he faced Liu Jingting, he felt guilty for no reason. He couldn't tell the reason. It was something of a momentum. He felt like a... little brother?
What confused him even more was that he actually thanked himself.
"Thank you...thank me?"
Liu Jingting smiled and nodded, saying, "Your article is well written, and you will definitely get high scores in the exam. I don't disdain you, I just don't like to talk."
Chen Haowei, who was in charge of the army, was suddenly beaten by the other party so invisible. His arrogance was extinguished. His already insufficient confidence became increasingly lacking. He hesitated: "My mother is an elementary school Chinese teacher, so..."
"No wonder, I still remember the article you published in the school newspaper, especially the sentence 'We use sweat to build a stronger heart' and is vivid in my memory." Liu Jingting said very sincerely.
At this point, Chen Haowei's attitude of asking for guilt was completely defeated, and he said embarrassedly: "That, just write nonsense."
"Don't say that. Isn't you slap us in the face? It's like Yao Ming said he was not tall, and Liu Xiang said he couldn't run fast. Then wouldn't we become snails and earthen grandsons?"
Chen Haowei smiled and said, "I didn't expect you to be quite humorous. Why do you communicate so little with everyone?"
"I am a slow person to warm up, so try to change it in the future."
"Well. Also, do you really want to participate in the essay contest?"
"Yes, you are actually right. I just want to buy lottery tickets. I still have a thought after writing, and it will be completely out of the blue if I don't write it."
"Yes, I just said that there was nothing else, it just felt that you were not sociable. I was hurting you, well, this way, if you don't mind, you can show me the article you wrote and communicate with me."
Liu Jingting said in embarrassment: "This... you can probably see that I am a relatively introverted person. I am very embarrassed. Let's do this. If you pass the audition, will it be fine?"
Chen Haowei did not persist, nodded in understanding, and returned to his seat with satisfaction. The students watching were disappointed that they did not see the ideal plot.
The reason why Liu Jingting turned war into jade so simply, instead of deliberately intensifying the contradictions and finally slapped his strength in the face is because he did regard Chen Haowei as a young brother's generation. It is pleasure to play a pig and eat a tiger, but what's the motivation to play a pig and eat a cat?
Moreover, this kind of thing should not be done too deliberately.
Another point is that Chen Haowei's rash appearance suddenly made him think of a more appropriate article, which is suitable for essay contest - Maggie's gift!
"Maggie's Gift" is a representative work of the famous American novelist O'Henry. O'Henry is known as the father of modern American short stories. He is known as the world's three major short story masters, along with Maupassant and Chekhov.
O'Henry's short stories are unique and the most prominent feature is that they set up reversals at the end of the story. The whole story is told in a casual manner, and it seems calm. At the end, the plot reversal is unexpected, but reasonable, and often amazing. Its self-created "O'enry style ending" has become a proper term in the literary world.
"Maggie's Gift" is exactly the route. The story tells the story of a young couple giving gifts to each other on Christmas Eve. The wife sold her beautiful hair and bought a watch strap for her husband, but the husband sold her watch and bought a complete set of combs for her wife.
The couple's gifts turned into useless things, but they each received the most precious gift from each other - love.
Novelty, unique, fashionable, sensible, and correct in terms of topics. It is simply the best choice for participating in an essay contest.
When Liu Jingting was in his freshman year, he read the original version of this story. At that time, a friend in the dormitory bought an English version of "The Collection of Short Stories of O'Henry" to improve his style. After buying it, of course he didn't read it. Liu Jingting woke up from a nap on an afternoon on a weekend. He was bored and took it over and read it. Unexpectedly, he became addicted to reading it. He finished the rest of the story in front of the Oxford Dictionary, and passed the CET-4 exam in seconds.
With the purpose of improving English and studying literature, Liu Jingting went to the library to borrow the original "The Complete Works of Shakespeare" - he left it at the head of the bed for forty days, but he never turned to the second page.
This is the legendary curse of "buying or borrowing books by yourself often won't read them."
Fortunately, these books are now stored in my mind.
...
The Chinese version of "Maggie's Gift" is about 4,000 words. Liu Jingting returned to the dormitory at night and finished writing it in less than an hour. After that, he downloaded the registration form, filled in his personal information, and sent it to the email address designated by Vientiane with the novel.
When Liu Jingting completed these procedures, Zhao Kan was still thinking about the subject matter. In fact, he had written no less than ten beginnings, and even considered ancient poems, such as "I voted for me with papaya, and I rewarded me with Qiong Yao, and I will never repay you, and I will always think it's good", or "I think it's a quiet woman, and I will give me a red tube".
Liu Jingting looked at Zhao Kan's classic chaotic state and couldn't help saying, "I really can't think of it. Go to the balcony to get some breath, or go downstairs to throw a few balls with Xiaoshu. Maybe inspiration will come in a moment. Writing things is not milking, and hard work will only make mistakes."
Zhao Kan said distressedly: "Just squeeze milk, at least there is milk to squeeze. My mind is blank now, and those genius sentences are lost in my daily life."
"It's common, writing is like this. The more you want to express yourself well, the more you are not satisfied. It's still a matter of mentality. You have to throw away the complex thoughts in your heart."
Sun Xinyang, who was busy doing the test, suddenly raised his head, wanted to speak but stopped, and then returned to the sea of questions.
Just as I was chatting with Zhao Kan, I suddenly heard him screaming "I thought of it" and then I devoted myself to writing a new article again.
Liu Jingting smiled and shook his head, then clicked on the document "Chu Liuxiang" and began to write the sixth chapter "A little red under the sword".
Another classic character will appear in this chapter - Zhongyuan Yihong, a killer who is the most expensive, ruthless and trustworthy. His first mission to appear is to assassinate Zhang Xiaolin who disguised Chu Liuxiang.
Of course, the assassination failed, but even so, this chapter still resurrected the man Yihong of Zhongyuan. When Liu Jingting saw this name for the first time, he knew that his story would definitely not be simple, and there must be a sublimation plot in the later period. As expected, Zhongyuan Yihong fell in love with the disfigured Qu Wurong. In order to protect his lover, he was accidentally injured by Hu Tiehua and lost one arm. In the end, the two left together. This scene also became one of the most moving scenes in the Chu Liuxiang category that touched readers.
However, Liu Jingting was also very clear. Basically, all the supporting roles that appeared in the novel were ultimately to set off the protagonist. The change in the fate of Yihong in the Central Plains was ultimately influenced by Chu Liuxiang. From another perspective, his sublimation was actually used to prove Chu Liuxiang's greatness from the side.
Even so, the presence of Zhongyuan Yihong in the Chuliuxiang series is almost comparable to that of Ximen Chuxue in the Lu Xiaofeng series. This shows her personality charm.
Liu Jingting likes this kind of plot of awesome characters, and he is extremely excited to write it: [Liu Hong said: "Below my 144 killer, I still don't fight back, and I still have a smile. Apart from the "stealer" Chu Liuxiang, how can there be a second person in the world!"]
A simple sentence not only calls out a little bit of red confidence but also contrasts Chu Liuxiang's strength, so you should give it thirty-two praises.
...
The snow melts in the north. The leaves of the south are green.
When Zhongyuan Yihong appeared in front of readers, it was already the end of April. Mihu was about to set off to Nangang to take the exam. Liu Jingting went with him as planned, and Gong Chengen also secretly joined the team going south as planned.
Liu Jingting pre-ordered three air tickets online. Originally, Hu Xiaomi's mother wanted to be with her, but she couldn't defeat Mihu's trick of "You go, I won't go", so she had to give up.
In order to get the opportunity to take a break from school to become an editor, Mihu easily agreed to his parents' request to go abroad. He thought that the times would change and his parents would forget about this matter, but they insisted so much that it was finally time to repay the debt today.
The three of them sat on the plane with their own thoughts. Mihu was sad about the coming farewell, Gong Chengen was nervous about the coming meeting, Liu Jingting was relatively calm, looking out the window, remembering the readers' surprise when they saw the red of the Central Plains, the accurate comments of the way of heaven that often said "This person must have a story", the profound Professor Chen Shirang's praise article, and of course, the symbolic essay of all symbols that will be announced soon.
Unlike other students who contributed the article, Liu Jingting no longer paid attention to this matter after submitting the article. Perhaps it was because of confidence, or perhaps as Mi Hu said, he had relatively little intentions about the 500,000 bonus.
However, he was also slightly surprised. Logically speaking, after such a novel appeared, it should not be so unknown. Not to mention that "The Legend of Chu Liuxiang" caused shock to all walks of life, at least he could get a place to advance.
Liu Jingting laughed silently. He was originally a person who could joke with him, and was freeing his time and enjoying himself.
"So it was really right to give you a computer and a mobile phone. Now you are starting to see the benefits." Mi Hu said to Liu Jingting with a smile.
Liu Jingting smiled at him.
"What are you laughing at?"
"Thinking of your kitchen."
When Mihu thought of something, his face turned red and he glared at Liu Jingting.
Gong Chengen interrupted at the right time, "You guys tell me, what should I do if she gets angry when she sees me?"
"Why would she be angry when you come from all over the place?"
"You don't know her, she doesn't like being kept in the dark."
"Don't worry, he and I will talk nice things to you."
The plane landed in Nangang. The three of them got off the plane and walked out of the airport and found that it was raining in Nangang.
...
At this time, a big sun appeared in the Jianghai.
In an office in Vientiane Academy, more than 20 literary elites and experts are screening manuscripts. Since the call for manuscript, all ten mailboxes have been exposed, and the manuscripts received have exceeded 2 million. If any magazine has such a submission, the editor-in-chief would probably wake up from his dream.
The call for manuscript is coming to an end. After many careful selections by the judges, 136 manuscripts have been selected and the final ruling has been accepted.
Chapter completed!
