Chapter 43 Aftermath (1)
"Do you still remember Gu Yongsheng on the banks of the rivers and lakes? That person is me."
Liu Jingting, who was always silent, has been waiting for this sentence. Since he saw the advertisement for the essay contest on TV, he began to conceive this counterattack in his heart. In fact, it is not a great situation. He is just annoyed by being scolded and wanting to reply a few words, but it is mainly to follow the trend.
I learned about the relevant submission rules from the Internet and handed over "The Sword of the Yue Girl".
Although he was full of strong confidence in this novel, Liu Jingting did not expect too much to pay the first, second and third prizes, because in his mind, the higher the prize money, the further the competition is, the more fair the competition is. As for the competition involving relevant departments, it is even more unfathomable.
There are three reasons why Liu Jingting still insists on submitting. One is that "The Sword of Yue Girl" is really a question in the competition, and the other is that he believes that this story can be brilliant in the online voting process. Even if there are no awards in the later stage, the unique charm of the story itself will eventually win the due evaluation for himself.
The third point is also a very important point. He needs to give you a preview in advance. Except for "Dragon and Tiger", "Seven Swords Under the Tianshan Mountain" and "The Legend of the White-Haired Witch" are both representative works of Mr. Liang Yusheng. Liang's style is already very obvious. After all these two works are released, whether he chooses Mr. Gu Long or Mr. Jin Yong, it will undoubtedly make readers suspicious.
Therefore, this is his foreshadowing. Although the "Yue Nu Sword" is small, the language style and writing feeling of Jin's language style are already revealed. As long as the later books can be selected and arranged properly, readers should not feel too abrupt.
This was also a great inspiration for him. He first started with martial arts novels based on his own interests and hobbies, and based on the later generations' cognitive conclusion on the unity of new martial arts, he first introduced the Shanzu Liang Yusheng. Although this approach is consistent with the development rings of martial arts novels itself, the style differences between novelists always exist.
For heavy martial arts fans, even if the works of Jin Guliang and Liang are covered up and only read a paragraph of text, they can easily tell which character belongs to which person.
Liang's works like to lose the book bag, and the protagonist often recites poems about things; Mr. Gu Long likes short sentences, with words like short knives, paying attention to artistic conception and philosophy. In the novel, he often carries his understanding of everything and frequently bursts of golden sentences; Mr. Jin Yong's works are different from the first two. In general, it is just a sentence "It is normal to speak to the extreme". There is no particular highlight, but it just makes people unable to stop.
Therefore, we often see Mr. Gu Long’s famous quotes and spiritual chicken soup, but we rarely see excerpts from famous quotes by Jin Yong and Liang Yusheng.
Even so, this problem is not difficult. After all, it is all martial arts novels. As long as the preparation is laid out, Liu Jingting is confident that he can launch the works of the three masters one by one. What is embarrassing is actually the books after martial arts. Just imagine, Gu Yongsheng, who "written" martial arts, suddenly wrote "The True Story of Ah Q" one day, and he might be beaten by readers.
This is also the reason why Liu Jingting insisted on not letting Gu Yongsheng get involved with "Shuke and Beta".
...
After the "Miss Sword of Yue" was cast, Liu Jingting kept watching the changes. Qianhong kept urging him to participate in the competition quickly. Liu Jingting responded with "I am thinking about it, but I already have my own eyes." On the other hand, Mi Hu, who had the courage, finally sent the manuscript.
Mihu took the second picture "The Guest of the Curly Beard", which describes the story of the Three Heroes of the Wind and Dust. As a girl, she naturally would not have love for the heroes' home and country. The place she explored was why Hongfu Girl liked Li Jing instead of the Guest of the Curly Beard?
When Liu Jingting saw Mi Hu's article, he remembered something in a trance. When he was a freshman, he was bored in class and had a couplet with a girl in his class. At that time, the talented woman said, "Hongfu knew Li Jing with wise eyes." He was couplet with "Red jade and hearts are full of dust."
Hongfu Nu and Liang Hongyu are very famous women in history and are called "Erhong". Then the talented woman also asked a similar question, why didn't Hongfu Nu fall in love with the grand bearded guest?
These two things show that no matter which world is in, when reading novels or TV series, the focus of female friends is often "whether the male and female protagonists are together, or who is with whom in the end."
Mihu's words are very frank, and it can be seen that she is consciously abandoning the content that has been concluded and eager to express her thoughts in her heart. For example, when she wrote about the conversation between Hongfu Nu and the bearded guest, she described Hongfu Nu's mentality in detail. This description is exactly the intention of her article, the so-called borrowing the wine glass of others to soak the blocks in her heart.
Liu Jingting said bluntly to Mi Hu: "From my personal point of view, this article is remarkable in many aspects, but..."
"But it's not suitable for participating?" Mihu continued: "I know you'll say that."
"that……"
"Okay, don't explain it. I agree with you. I don't want to contribute this article."
"That's it?"
"Written for you?"
"Um?"
"Don't think too much, I want to stimulate you to participate in the competition."
"Actually," Liu Jingting confessed: "I have submitted my manuscript."
Mihu did not show any surprise and said calmly: "It's almost the same. You are only fifteen years old and have such a strong scheming."
"This is the personality," Liu Jingting laughed at herself, "but I can't help but tell you."
Mihu said with satisfaction: "If you win the award, you should be able to continue writing "Seven Swords" right?"
"I really don't have any considerations in this regard. If you win a prize or not, the story will continue. In fact, everyone knows that the so-called struggle, game, etc. I just feel unhappy and just want to vent my anger. If you win the prize, the backfire may be bigger, so they don't want to be slapped in the face."
"What do you say over Qianhong?"
"They are waiting for the issue number of "Zhengshu". If you don't talk about this, have you contributed it?"
...
When "The Sword of Yue Girl" became popular online, Liu Jingting did not find it particularly strange. The value of these works has been proven, so Liu Jingting has this confidence.
In fact, when Liu Jingting handed over the manuscript of "Shuke and Beta" to Editor-in-Chief Yao, the other party implicitly expressed that if there was any trouble, he could find her. This naturally implies that he was being beaten up in a group. However, Liu Jingting also implicitly refused, saying that he would not have contact, so he would not have contact. Moreover, he really didn't want to bother others.
Qianhong was not sure whether she felt guilty or realized something, but she urged Liu Jingting to participate in the competition less and less. When the popularity of "The Sword of the Yue Girl" spread across the country, Lu Yichuang inexplicably sent a message: "What a loud slap in the face. If I can't handle the subsequent things well, I'm simply incompetent."
Then some media invited themselves to interview through the competition organizing committee, but naturally refused. This was a decided decision. The plan to promote the book failed for a day, and it did not appear in front of the public as an "author". Regarding this, he already had an ultimate plan in his mind.
After the media failed to invite an interview, they began to hint the author's stubbornness to the public intentionally or unintentionally, so the scene of netizens forcing the palace was caused. Liu Jingting, who was pretending to be here, seized the opportunity and unconsciously released this self-introduction. To put it more vividly, both online speech and paper media were temporarily dull because of this sentence, and then everyone quickly became excited.
One stone stirs up a thousand layers of waves!
They say that corrupts social customs and leads children, they say that cleverly utilizes history and ingeniously constructs stories; they say that spiritual opium and unscrupulous poisonous weeds are what they say, short stories and classic works are also what they say...
What an embarrassing thing this should be. The news before is still very hot?
The tide of mockery instantly filled the entire network. The subjects who were mocked did not remain silent this time, and they quickly responded strongly: "We criticize the wrong ones and praise the right ones, and this is what we have been doing!"
"We are not against things and people, we have a clear conscience!"
...
So, everyone entered the fight again and the game...
Even Lu Yichou, who had already guessed that the author of "The Sword of Yue Girl", was Gu Yongsheng, couldn't help but smile bitterly after seeing the self-introduction, because they had a better way to deal with it. For example, Gu Yongsheng could politely choose several friendly media to be interviewed, tell his creative process as a pure author, and then bring out some big principles in a similar way to tell the meaning of literature itself.
As long as Gu Yongsheng can be a little gentler and cooperate a little more, this matter will be better solved. Unfortunately, this guy is like Han Shuo, like an unruly wild horse, who can only follow and cannot control it.
"Maybe this is a genius disease." Mr. Lu laughed at himself and then began to arrange countermeasures.
...
"If you can be crazy in one thing, you will be a teenager." Mo Zhiyu talked to Cui Song about Gu Yongsheng's revenge and praised him very much. "I guess Lu Yichou has a headache again."
"It seems that there is no way to continue poaching people for the time being." Cui Song said with regret.
"Just get here," Mo Zhiyu said calmly: "This time I went to the capital to meet Lu Yichou, and the old fox actually brought Yao Lihua and Tang Feng over as lobbyists."
Cui Song nodded and said, "Just let that little guy know our energy. I just got the news that Fudan Chen Shirang likes Gu Yongsheng very much. I guess there will be articles in the next two days, so we must do a better job in the final work."
"I have already contacted him and fully expressed our kindness. The future is long. But he has made such a fuss, and I think this award is not easy to award."
Cui Song shook his head and smiled, saying, "Yes, it's very difficult to issue."
...
"I won't say much nonsense. The editor is divided into three groups. I will give you half a month to discuss a martial arts topic and then report the detailed outline to me. Chen Yin and Beihetang are jointly responsible. Do you understand?"
Dingjie Culture Company, Xue Muliang and Mr. Xue are assigning new tasks to his men.
"I understand." Everyone answered together.
Beihetang hesitated for a moment and asked, "Author's..."
