Chapter 174: Competition
Association of Literary Artists?
This is an association with an official background. Although its status is no better than that of the Jiuzhou Literary Association, the Jiuzhou Literary Association coordinates the official literary background of the entire Jiuzhou literature, while the Literary and Artists Association is just a literary association in a single state.
But even so, its value cannot be underestimated.
As a member of Zhongzhou, Han Zichen is naturally familiar with the Literary and Artists Association.
And listening to the editor Zebra's words, Han Zichen was more or less stunned.
How did they find themselves in this kind of official competition? And what is the purpose of finding themselves?
With such curiosity, Han Zichen took the initiative to ask, "Editor, do you want my Sherlock Holmes Detective Series to participate in this competition?"
Zebra: "Yeah."
Han Zichen said, "How come he suddenly chose me?"
Zebra: "As a member of the online writer, you should understand the huge collision between online literature and real literature, right?"
When Han Zichen heard the Zebra say this, he understood a little.
He is also a member of online literature, so he often hears some news about the author circle.
It is a realist who criticizes online literature in various ways, believing that online literature is poisoning young people in today's society and a cancer in social phenomena.
Because of the existence of online literature, some teenagers just watch the Internet all day long, thus neglecting their studies.
Some fast food literature in online literature is also criticized.
Simply put, real writers look down on online literature and think that they are the kingly way.
Online literature is just a traitor.
Because most of the content they involve is indecent.
However, it is obvious that this is a bias.
The so-called prejudice is a big mountain, and this mountain is not so easy to shake.
As far as Han Zichen knows, there are still quite a few works in online literature, and these works also spread positive energy.
However, some authors who are in the name of reality writers are just sneering.
For example, "Big Buttocks**"
Although Jiuzhou intends to merge online literature and reality literature, in fact, they have made efforts. There are indeed many writers' associations that have merged the two major sectors of Internet and reality.
But even so, in the Writers Association, the reality sector is still the mainstream, and online literature is not popular wherever it goes.
So after the editor-in-chief Zebra spoke out about online literature and real literature, Han Zichen knew what the editor was thinking.
"Is the editor asking me to participate in the Reality Detective Suspense Essay Competition and to get a ranking in this competition, so that our online literature can increase the proportion of the right to speak in the association?"
Zebra didn't expect that the madman could understand it at all, so he continued to post a message, "That's true. After all, the image of our online literature is always not very good, so I want to use this opportunity to make our online literature look good. Of course, if we can win an award, it's the best. If we can't win an award, it doesn't matter, because as the judges this time, four of them are writers of real literature, and only one is our online writer. I guess when the ranking is really carried out, they will definitely elevate themselves and belittle our online literature."
Han Zichen said, "Since it's all insider, is it necessary for us to participate in this essay contest?"
Zebra smiled bitterly, "That's right, most people in real literature are noble. If the quality of the works is the same, they may raise themselves and belittle us. But if the quality of the works can make them shut up, we will still win the award. Those people can't see excellent works being forgotten, right? Besides, each work is scored by several reviewers, and the possibility of fraud is relatively low. Of course, all this is based on the excellent quality of the works."
Now, Han Zichen understood.
"I understand, I'm willing to participate, do I need me to do something?"
Zebra quickly tapped the keyboard at the other end of the computer, sending texts over and over.
"Because the deadline for the work is the fifteenth of this month, there is not much time left for you. The primary condition for participating in the work is that the length of the work must be greater than 200,000 words, or more than 100,000 words. The "Shelmes Detective Collection" you are writing now should be divided into several lengths, right?"
Han Zichen said, "Yes."
Zebra smiled and said, "Then it's OK. At your update speed, no matter which of the above two should be difficult for you. By the way, do you have any manuscripts on hand now? If there is one, you can send it directly to me and I will hand it over to the Literary and Artists Association."
Han Zichen said, "I'll sort it out and send it to you later."
zebra:"……"
Han Zichen: "What's wrong???"
Zebra: "Damn, you can still have manuscripts at the update speed every day. If your fans know about it, you must not kneel down?"
Kneel down?
Not so exaggerated, right?
If the words "The Tomb of God" may cause a sensation, then "The Sherlock Holmes Detective" is like a basin of frozen liquid, which will slowly calm you down.
If the same type of madman continues to publish, it is not to mention whether it can be very popular, at least it can have a place on the sales list of micro-sites. But what about "Shelf's Detective Collection"? Since its publication, the people you love still love, and the people you don't love will not read, and the popularity of it is not very high. Although it is on the suspense sales list, it is only at the seventh place. In the overall list, you can't see "Shelf's Detective Collection" at all. On the contrary, the completed "The Tomb of God" is still at the ninth place of the overall list.
But this is normal, after all, "The Tomb of God" has too much influence.
In the eyes of many people, "The Sherlock Holmes Detective" is obviously not worth looking at with your eyes.
After all, suspense itself does not have much audience.
Many readers even believe that the fact that "The Detective Collection of Sherlock Holmes" can be ranked seventh in the suspense sales list is due to "The Tomb of God".
Therefore, Han Zichen did not agree with what the editor Zebra said about "kneeling down". Many bigwigs on the "God Tomb" list left him far away, leaving only a few loyal fans, but their popularity with "Shelmes Detective Collection" is not as high as "God Tomb".
Some people have secretly scolded him for not writing good morals but just writing unpopular topics. It is really useless to have such good achievements in "The Tomb of Gods". Some writers even lose such respectful tone when they mention "crazy".
Because in their opinion, the madman who wrote the masterpiece "The Tomb of God" has fallen from the altar.
The madman now can no longer lead to an era of mad gods.
When facing the editing of Zebra's text, Han Zichen could only return a few frightened expressions.
At the same time, he packed all the two articles he had already coded and sent them to Zebra.
One is "Research on Blood Characters" and the other is "Four Signatures".
"Study on Blood Words" is about 100,000 words, and "Four Signatures" is about 90,000 words, which has reached the basic requirements for participation. If it doesn't work, he will work overtime to give two or three days, and he can also send all the space of "Adventure History" to the editor Zebra.
However, in his opinion, it is enough to rely on the two short stories "Study on Blood" and "Four Signatures".
Soon, the Zebra, who accepted the two short stories of the madman, sent Han Zichen an OK expression, and then said, "Okay, I will submit the work as soon as possible. Just wait for good news."
Han Zichen: "Okay."
After Han Zichen replied with the word "OK", no message was sent to the editor Zebra.
In fact, even the editor of Zebra does not think that the madman's "Shelmes Detective Collection" can achieve a result in an essay contest held by the Literary and Artists Association. After all, such people have to be completely logical. Some cool articles in online essays can be brainless, but suspense detectives are not good. Perhaps you can also attract some special fans in order to pursue the pleasure.
However, this type of investigation will be completely damaged in the face of reality.
Because reality is different from the cool articles of online articles, it pursues more truth. If the suspense detectives are not rigorous, they will be eliminated in the initial screening process.
As we all know, if you want to write this kind of thing, the amount of hair of a writer like this is almost no different from that of a programmer, and it is a kind of work that requires brain power consumption.
The difference is that one is writing code and the other is writing.
But there is no dispute that writing is not much faster than that. Four or six thousand words a day are really a very powerful existence. Such authors can already be called talented.
But like a madman, you write a suspense detective type, and you still update 10,000 or 20,000 words every day. This...
Is it an idiot to be a fan?
Don't have any IQ?
You write this way, completely throwing things like logic and other things behind you!
Even the first person in the micro-site suspense detective category "blindly" can only keep it at about 4,000 words a day, and there are ten days in one month that they keep it at 2,000 words a day and the update is interrupted for four days. This is based on the fact that he has been writing this category for five or six years.
Practice makes perfect, and at this speed, why is he crazy?
After all, the author of the cool article is just the author of the cool article, and he cannot grasp the essence of the suspense detective.
So when watching the documents sent by the madman, Zebra did not take them too seriously, but placed them in a folder with some works that were preparing to participate.
No major incident happened in the next few days.
On the Yunwang Music Ranking List, the number one ranked "Successful". This song leaps directly on the second day, leaving Chen Anbo's new song far behind.
This very back position does not mean that Chen Anbo’s new song fell to a corner that he couldn’t see.
On the contrary, the songs collaborated by the first-line singer Chen Anbo and gold-medal songwriter An Yueheng are excellent enough in themselves, so so far, except for the first few hours of the first day, it was not until "Successful" was on the list that it was left second.
The "very later" mentioned here is that the data is very late. At least Chen Anbo's new song is no longer possible to snipe Zhou Ye's "Success".
What's more, there are basically no new songs in March, so the first place in "Successful" will be the most likely to be able to stay until the end of the month and then become the new song king in March.
Because Han Zichen's new songs released in January, February and March all achieved good results such as the monthly championship, so that Tianyi Entertainment's stock has risen several points in the past few days, showing a five-game positive state. The investors who hold shares in Tianyi Entertainment's stocks even shouted that Shanzhuang was even more popular.
Han Zichen did not go to Tianyi Entertainment for several days to report.
The colleagues in the Creative Department on the 21st floor did not take it much. After all, they knew that Xiao Qu's father was strictly a college student. Since he was a student, he must focus on his studies. When he came to Tianyi Entertainment to work, he was just bored and came to the company to pass the time.
Besides, isn’t it normal for composers not to appear in the company?
Anyway, the few fathers Qu in the company often cannot see them.
However, this makes the girls working in Tianyi Entertainment a lot.
I can’t see Xiao Qu’s father at work every day, and my heart is always empty. Even when I dip my peppers in my meal, I don’t know where Xiao Qu’s father is now and how it is. What kind of clothes I wear today are, are they becoming more handsome than yesterday?
I really want to meet Xiao Qu’s father in the company again, even if I just look at him from a distance, I am satisfied.
Unfortunately, their dreams cannot be realized for the time being.
However, Zhou Ye still comes to Han Zichen's office every day to help him organize his desktop, raise little goldfish, etc. It seems that the popularity of "Success" has not changed Zhou Ye into another person. He is just like before he became famous. At least for the people in the 21st floor Creation Department, Zhou Ye is still Zhou Ye, but he has become more popular than before, with more fans, and is no longer the nameless third-tier singer.
Zhou Ye now has a large number of fans.
The reason why he had such a move was entirely because of a person - Xiao Qu's father and Han Zichen!
Thanks to Han Zichen's blessing, the people in the Creative Department on the 21st floor can enjoy the second fresh fruit every day, because after a day, Zhou Ye will buy new fruits for replacement.
On March 18th, the official certified Weibo of the Literary and Artists Association edited a content and sent it out.
When some netizens saw these contents, they suddenly couldn't sit still.
(Just finished writing, sleepy, good night, everyone go to bed early.)
Chapter completed!
