Chapter 70: There's a Princess in the Green Family!

Fortunately, this state of paranoia did not last long, and Ye Chen, who came back to his senses, began to think about what he should write.

I began to review the fairy tales I had read, "The Little Prince", "Grimm's Fairy Tales", "Hans Christian Andersen's Fairy Tales" and so on are all world-famous fairy tale collections.

Among them, the most famous is the famous Danish writer and poet Hans Christian Andersen's collection of fairy tales, which contains many classic fairy tales such as "Thumbelina", "Daughter of the Sea", "The Ugly Duckling", "The Little Match Girl", "Mother's Story", etc., there are stories that combine realism and romanticism, and there are stories that expose the coldness, darkness and injustice of social life, which are very good children's books, which are also Ye Chen's first choice.

And "Hans Christian Andersen's Fairy Tales" is most famous for several fairy tales in it, such as, "Thumbelina", "The Daughter of the Sea", "The Little Match Girl" and so on, among which "The Little Match Girl" was selected as the Chinese textbook of the big **** on the earth in the previous life.

But here's the problem, that is, although Ye Chen knows these classic fairy tales, Ye Chen has not read the full text of "Hans Christian Andersen's Fairy Tales".

On the contrary, Ye Chen has read the full text of "Grimm's Fairy Tales".

Although you don't need to write a collection of fairy tales to participate in the Star Cup Fairy Tale Writing Competition, you only need one or several stories.

However, Ye Chen also has his own ideas, now Ye Chen is only seventeen years old, and among the writers who are often thirty or forty years old to become famous, he really seems too young, for example, when he first showed Wang Kong "The Da Vinci Code", Wang Kong once suspected that it was not written by Ye Chen.

It's not that Ye Chen is deliberately clumsy, no one wants to be a genius in the eyes of others? But there is a good saying: If you are a genius one step ahead of others, you are a madman one era ahead!

Ye Chen doesn't want to be a madman and a monster in the eyes of others, the name of genius is very good.

Besides, if Ye Chen wrote classic masterpieces such as "The Old Man and the Sea", "War and Peace", and "One Hundred Years of Solitude" at the age of seventeen, not to mention others, even Ye Chen himself would not dare to believe it.

There are some books that you may not be able to understand if you are not old enough to read them, let alone write them.

However, writing fairy tales is different, after all, in the eyes of most people, fairy tales are storybooks for children to read, belonging to enlightenment textbooks, just making up a simple story, and if this simple story can also contain some truth, goodness and beauty, it is a good fairy tale.

Therefore, after some careful consideration, Ye Chen decided that his next work after "The Da Vinci Code" will be a collection of fairy tales, which not only gives him a certain buffer time, but also maintains his fame, and maybe even goes further.

After all, parents are the most willing to spend money on their children, and they spare no effort to educate their children, only better, not the best, and fairy tales are indispensable as children's enlightenment reading.

And fairy tale writers have another advantage, and that is word of mouth.

After all, literature is no better than others, and no matter how well a book is written, some people don't agree with it.

Fairy tales are very different, because fairy tales are written for children to read, they are beautiful, although the artistic structure is somewhat exaggerated and unreal, but after all, it is beautiful, and it is something that parents and society hope children can have.

The most obvious example, has anyone on earth ever scolded Hans Christian Andersen's fairy tales?

Therefore, as long as Ye Chen writes the fairy tale well and gets the approval of his parents, it will definitely be a song of merit.

It's like a special principal on some post bar forums, as long as you leave one or two interesting websites, the following reply will always be a good person of the landlord, and the landlord will have a safe life......

Another reason why Ye Chen chose a fairy tale is that Ye Chen is about to go to college, it can be said that this may be Ye Chen's last leisure time, and Ye Chen, as a literary and artistic youth, Ye Chen also wants to take this opportunity to have a good understanding of the culture and art of this world in all aspects.

Although the world has become a little different since the Sui Dynasty, it still has a splendid culture, but those great writers in history are no longer Li Bai, Du Fu and Lu Xun, and the classics that have been handed down are no longer those familiar poems and articles, but have changed a number of names.

To sum up, if Ye Chen wants to write fairy tales, he must not only write fairy tales well, but also write many fairy tales!

Since he hadn't finished reading "Hans Christian Andersen's Fairy Tales", Ye Chen had no choice but to write "Grimm's Fairy Tales".

Speaking of which, "Grimm's Fairy Tales" is no worse than "Hans Christian Andersen's Fairy Tales"!

"Hans Christian Andersen's Fairy Tales" has familiar stories such as "The Little Match Girl" and "The Daughter of the Sea", and "Grimm's Fairy Tales" also has famous stories such as "Cinderella", "Snow White" and "Little Red Riding Hood", and in the case of "Little Red Riding Hood", this kind of cautionary fairy tale is sometimes more useful!

Having made a decision in his heart, Ye Chen no longer considered anything else.

The first - "Cinderella".

Ye Chen has already begun to prepare for the entries for the Xingchen Cup Fairy Tale Creation Competition, but Liu Ming has been struggling with this for more than half a month.

Liu Ming has been having a hard time recently, as early as the day outside the office, Ye Chen has already become Liu Ming's imaginary enemy, which is not only the hormones of adolescence, but also the teenage nature who does not want to lose when facing a love rival.

The defeat in the National Youth Literature Creation Contest was a big blow to Liu Ming, but Ye Chen made great progress in the preliminary semi-finals, and he won the first place.

In comparison, Liu Ming felt that his results in the preliminary round were extremely dazzling.

Although before the competition, Liu Ming knew that he might not be as good as Ye Chen, a well-known liberal arts geek, but he was a little unconvinced by the words in his heart, and when he really realized Ye Chen's power, Liu Ming was even more unconvinced!

"I must defeat him once, at least once in front of Dong Yuqi!"

That's what Liu Ming thinks!

When he was young and frivolous, it was common to compete with others or even fight for a girl he liked, and in Liu Ming's eyes, Ye Chen was already in a showdown with himself.

Liu Ming has also read Ye Chen's works that won the first place in the preliminary and semi-finals, and Ye Chen's choice to write a novel in the competition was beyond Liu Ming's expectations, how confident does this have to be to dare to write a novel of tens of thousands of words in the National Youth Literature Creation Competition?

Although Liu Ming is only a high school student, he still has the basic ability to appreciate literature, in Liu Ming's opinion, both "The Necklace" and "The Last Leaf" are amazing short stories, especially the unexpected ending of "The Last Leaf", which makes Liu Ming even more shocked!

Literature needs talent, and it was not until this moment that Liu Ming had to admit that his talent in literary creation was indeed inferior to Ye Chen, and Liu Ming had a faint premonition that if he missed this opportunity, he might no longer be qualified to compete with Ye Chen.

Therefore, Liu Ming attaches great importance to this Xingchen Cup fairy tale creation competition, and buys all the fairy tale collections on the market to read at home, and stays in his room every day when he comes home from school to think about how to write fairy tales.

However, after the initial joy, Liu Ming compared the fairy tales he created with the fairy tale collection, and the superiority was immediate!

As an enlightenment book for children, fairy tales require that the language be concise and easy to understand, after all, you can't expect a child to understand anything too advanced sentence structure and vocabulary, in addition, there must be something positive in a good fairy tale.

And these two points are exactly what Liu Ming's fairy tales do not have!

For the first time, Liu Ming felt that writing fairy tales would be so difficult!

As the deadline for the Xingchen Cup is getting closer and closer, Liu Ming is becoming more and more anxious.

"Judging from the standard that Ye Chen can write such a classic short story, if Ye Chen writes a fairy tale, the storytelling can only be stronger than himself, not weaker, and if I write my own submission, it will definitely be inferior to Ye Chen. Thinking so in his heart, Liu Ming couldn't help but be a little depressed.

Anxiety, impatience, self-confidence, dissatisfaction with Ye Chen, as well as the embarrassment after foreseeing being defeated by his rival in love and Dong Yuqi's strange eyes, all kinds of negative emotions converged together to form two words - despair!

"I must win Ye Chen once!" Liu Ming gritted his teeth and walked towards a bedroom at home.
