Chapter 456: Two Suggestions

The essay collection for the Zhuang Yan Award officially began, if it wasn't for Wang Lijian calling and telling Zhuang Yan, he would have forgotten about this matter, and he has been busy with school affairs recently, and he didn't pay much attention to these things.

After the award begins, students from the 10 schools that were previously included in the call for papers will also start to submit.

The Zhuang Yan Award is directly grafted on the website of the literary and artistic circles, so it is not troublesome, and students can submit as long as they have an account in the literary and artistic circles.

Of course, submissions need to be certified and must be students from these 10 schools.

Shizhong College is not among them, but Zhuang Yan can't be taken lightly, because he wants to see the name of the Middle School in next year's essay list.

For Zhuang Yanlai, this matter can be said to be simple, but it is also okay to say that it is difficult.

If he doesn't care about his face, regardless of the fairness and gold content of the Zhuang Yan Award, he will directly put Shizhong College on the list next year.

But he clearly couldn't do that.

If you don't go through the back door and want to enter the list next year, then there is only one way to go, and that is to increase the click rate of the campus section of Shizhong College.

In order to appease the resentment of not being selected for the school, Wang Lijian opened a campus section on the website of the literary and art circles, which was officially established by the school, and then the students authenticated their real names in the section.

Students from each school earn clicks by posting articles in their respective schools' communities, and the top schools with the highest clicks will be included in the selection list for the next Zhuangyan Award.

The campus section of Shizhong College was established two weeks ago, but Zhuang Yan never thought about it, and now Wang Lijian reminded him of it.

Zhuang Yan opened the website of the literary and artistic circles, and originally wanted to find Shizhong College, but at a glance he saw Sun Yat-sen University, the first place in the campus section.

Sun Yat-sen University is more struggling, because it was ranked 11th in the country last year, so they are excluded from this year's list of Zhuang Yan Award schools.

So when the list came out, Sun Yat-sen University was the most opposed, there was no way, just one short, could you have no idea in your heart?

Zhuang Yan still remembers the situation at that time, at the beginning, Sun Yat-sen University wanted to expand the Zhuang Yan Award by another place, but the literary and art websites and Zhuang Yan did not pay attention to it at all, and no one else supported them.

When they couldn't do it, they thought of another way, and later they didn't say that they would expand one place, but proposed to expand ten places.

This is where they are smart, they should have expanded a place, and other schools also know that if they expand a place, they will not have a share, so there is no need to mix blindly.

But it was different to expand the number of places by ten, and the schools from 11 to 20 had the opportunity, so these schools also came out to support Sun Yat-sen University at that time.

However, Zhuang Yan and Wang Lijian still ignored it, after all, if this precedent was opened, the twenty-one to thirty-one people in the family would definitely have opinions.

Will they make another fuss and then expand the slots by ten more?

Then don't make any lists, just let all schools participate.

Zhuang Yan clicked on the community section of Sun Yat-sen University, not to mention, the community is really presentable, and the students' contributions are very active, and the reading volume is very high.

Big schools have an advantage, after all, a school like theirs with tens of thousands of people can have more than ten times more basic hits per day than that of Shizhong College.

Not to mention that the school has a background, there are always some talents among the students.

In fact, what Zhuang Yan didn't know was that Sun Yat-sen University had put a lot of effort into this first place.

In order to allow students to actively submit papers and increase the number of clicks on the school section, Sun Yat-sen University set up a prize-winning essay competition on campus when the community was first established, and all the prizes added up to hundreds of thousands.

The wealth is moving, and the students naturally flock to it, so there is the prosperity that Zhuang Yan sees now.

In fact, in order to increase the click-through rate, many schools have set up prize-winning essays, but only Sun Yat-sen University has the most strength.

After reading the community section of Sun Yat-sen University, I solemnly found the section of Shizhong School, compared to the community of my own school, which is much more deserted.

There is no way, the school itself is very small, and the most popular seniors are busy graduating, so how can they have time to publish articles on the website.

Besides, there are few talents in this area in the school.

In the community, he found a few articles written by school students, and the quality was average, and there were no more conspicuous ones, but he did see the name of an acquaintance.

The community is not a real-name ID, but the person apparently used his own name.

Yu Sheng, the president who pulled him into the literary club in front of the bridge last time.

Of course, the possibility of the same name is not ruled out, but since he is the president of the literary club, the possibility of him is very high.

Yu Sheng wrote a novella, about seventy or eighty thousand words.

Zhuang Yan only read the beginning, and he couldn't judge it yet, but Yu Sheng's skills seemed quite mature, better than the short stories he had just read.

People can be the president of the literary club, and naturally there is a reason for it.

When he was patient and finished reading all the seventy or eighty thousand words, Zhuang Yan sighed, there was nothing to blame for Yu Sheng's skills, but the things he wanted to express were very fragmentary, as if they were pieced together on a whim.

He wasn't ready to write, or rather, he wrote it for the sake of it, and he didn't write it until he had something to say in its entirety.

This is the most taboo for writers, if you write simply for the sake of writing, what you rack your brains to write will only be an empty framework of thought.

And he could clearly feel his style in Sophie's World.

But he didn't imitate it properly.

In fact, it is impossible to imitate literature, because as long as you have the idea of deliberate imitation, then it is impossible to write something deep.

Closing the webpage, Zhuang Yan leaned back in his chair and thought for a while, and then he called He Yuan to give him a community administrator permission.

Entering the community of Shizhong College again, Zhuang Yan used administrator authority to set up a principal's message and put it on the head of the community.

The campus section is a website of the literary and artistic circles, so the useful administrator authority on the school side is very small, and opening a small section on the header is already the maximum permission, and he can only enter no more than three hundred words.

This is also to prevent cheating by various schools, after all, if too many permissions are given, there may be a lot of things in the board that are not the work of students.

But three hundred words is enough for solemnity.

"Principal's Message: Hello students, I would like to give you two suggestions. One, be sure to start writing at any time. Second, don't take your pen lightly. Two seemingly contradictory suggestions, but they are my faithful hopes. Write whatever comes to mind, and don't care if it can be written. Don't write easily, don't write deliberately, and then put pen to ......paper after you have an idea"11
