As soon as "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" was launched, it immediately won rave reviews, and the exquisite costumes and props, superb actors' performances, and exciting storylines have all become the points of praise from the audience.

The previous prediction that "spoilers in advance of the novel may affect the ratings" has also been hit back favorably, and the audience not only did not abandon the show because they knew the storyline in advance, but on the contrary, they expressed strong expectations for those wonderful scenes and episodes in the novel.

CCTV also won the ratings championship at the same time with a rating of 45 o'clock that night.

The "War of the Three Kingdoms", which was hyped at the beginning, has come to a complete end.

"Liu Jingting in films, television and novels has no opponent. ”

After "Three Kingdoms" was praised by the blockbuster, some people couldn't help but sigh again at Liu Jingting's omnipotent gold hand.

At the same time, the news of the West Lake Novelists Summit also began to spread on the Internet.

"In the middle of the West Lake, the heroes discuss the sword. 100 famous artists, meet with you!"

"A grand event of Chinese culture, Liu Jingting leads the West Lake on the sword!"

It is reported that the summit invited nearly 100 well-known novelists across the country, aged across the four generations of the old, middle-aged and young, and Feng Changxing and Liu Jingting, chairman of the Writers Association, were confirmed to attend. ”

……

The first wave of propaganda on the sword in West Lake was decent, roughly announcing the time, place and person, and the specific process was not discussed in detail.

Liu Jingting and Xu Qing both received invitations, but Xu Qing felt that she was invited because of Liu Jingting's light, so she began to resolutely resist. It wasn't until she learned that her father Xu Yuanhuai was also invited, and suddenly changed her mind.

"Although your grandfather never said anything about me explicitly, every time he mentions that he is not doing his job properly and the boss is playful. will subconsciously look at me, I want to say, you just scold me directly, don't kill people with your eyes. ”

Xu Qing pinched the invitation with her right hand and slapped her left hand, while complaining to Yang Lilu.

"Auntie, you publish books and write scripts, where are you not doing your job?" asked Yang Lilu with a smile.

Liu Jingting continued: "In the eyes of the elderly, if you don't get married when you should get married, you are not doing your job. With the reach of your grandparents ......"

"Your grandparents?" Yang Lilu glared at Liu Jingting.

"Our grandparents, our grandparents......"

Xu Qing glanced at Liu Jingting, and then looked at Yang Lilu. "He has a point. ”

"Then aunt, wouldn't it be good if you got married, anyway, there are so many people chasing you now. ”

Xu Qing frowned and said: "Marriage is not about going to the vegetable market to buy vegetables, no matter how you say it, you can get married, and they are right." I'm just playful. I like it very much, I can even say that I am obsessed with my current life, I have enough money to use, I have a big house to live in, and I have a group of young people to chat and play with, I don't have to be dragged down by complicated interpersonal relationships, I don't have to think about what responsibilities and obligations to take on, and frankly my scalp is tingling when I hear these two things. ”

Liu Jingting said: "If you are used to living alone, you will be addicted, but there should be times when you are lonely and lonely." For example, on a cold winter night......"

Xu Qing stared at Liu Jingting with a pair of eyes that seemed to be able to penetrate the rocks, and said in a somewhat playful tone, "You mean sex, right?"

"Huh?" Liu Jingting was speechless.

"Auntie. Yang Lilu's face turned red.

Xu Qing said: "You two have grown up now. It's not too much to talk to you about this topic. ”

Liu Jingting coughed a little embarrassedly, secretly regretting that he shouldn't forget Xu Qing's sharp side, and when they met for the first time, he gave himself a dismount with the question "Are you still a virgin?"

"It's not that I haven't thought about it," Xu Qing continued: "It's best to develop a fixed partner, don't involve some complicated issues, and have no worries, thinking about it this way, married mature men are the best, but my personal self-esteem and morality require myself, and I can't be a junior." ”

"And this one is very worrying. Liu Jingting subconsciously answered.

Xu Qing sneered slightly: "There are many cases of self-inflicted, and this is also the price of wanting to escape responsibilities and obligations, having said that, I just understand the mentality of this practice, but I can't do it myself." ”

"It's okay to be in a normal relationship, not to get married and not to have children. ”

Xu Qing shook her head with a smile and said: "How long can this relationship last, if two people stay together for a long time, many things will happen uncontrollably, and when the time comes, checking mobile phones, tracking, questioning, and quarreling will inevitably follow one after another, and for me, that kind of life will be ruined." ”

Liu Jingting suddenly thought of the first boyfriend he had met with Xu Qing, thought of a question, hesitated, and finally gave up and smiled noncommittally.

Xu Qing's tone changed suddenly, and warned Liu Jingting: "That's what I told you, if you dare to be sorry for Lulu, I will make you look good." ”

"Aunt Qing, you don't have this chance. ”

Yang Lilu, who had been bowing her head and being silent, glanced at Liu Jingting, Liu Jingting made an OK gesture, and the two looked at each other and smiled.

……

The second wave of publicity for the West Lake Sword came as scheduled, but this time it was not officially released, but it was a revelation.

The whistleblower claimed that this time the West Lake Sword Discussion was not only a paper, but also a live fight, imitating the grand occasion when ancient literati and writers gathered together to compare literature and poetry.

"Just imagine, a group of top novelists sitting together to write an essay PK, how spectacular the scene will be?"

However, this revelation was quickly denied by officials.

"The summit is all based on the freedom of the writers present, and there is absolutely no link setting for fighting articles. ”

Although both Ta Ge and West Lake Jian Guan Wei denied this revelation, they still saw a different meaning for Chang Youdao, an old networm.

"This material exploded abruptly, and they responded to **, no matter how you look at it, they are singing and harmonizing. ”

Since West Lake City has chosen to cooperate with the song network, it is to see the huge potential of their online publicity, since this cultural festival has the care of the central leadership, it must not be a session, it is estimated that it will become a major feature of West Lake City, so this first issue will naturally have a special article. Wang Jianshan said.

"It's important to have both substance and topicality. So the scene is more than the text, and the hundreds of top writers are the most gimmicky, right?"

Now that the literary world is in a group, Liu Jingting is riding the dust single-handedly. It is estimated that there are many people who have been offended unintentionally, and it is also predictable that this forum will be stumped a few times. Xu Qing replied.

"It's a big deal. Yang Lilu said dissatisfied.

"The reason why they released Biwen's news is to prevent everyone from quitting, because if you don't go at this time, everyone will say that you are cowardly. "There is often an analysis.

"So it's a double win, not only for everyone to be vaccinated, but also for everyone to dig a pit that has to jump. Su Jin said.

"Are you afraid of them?" said Qingjiao.

"I'm not afraid. The problem is that Liu Jingting is both a Nobel Prize winner and a world best-seller novel, and when the time comes, traditional writers will come to learn from him. Best-selling authors are also coming to learn about it, and it's going to be a bit of a hassle. Kang Lingyue said.

"yes. Liu Jingting, who had been watching everyone's analysis, replied.

Even Liu Jingting said this, and everyone was even more worried.

"Let's see what they do. ”

At the same time that the editors of "Craftsman Record" were chatting about the West Lake, there were no less than 150 WC writers groups across the country talking about this summit.

"No matter what. This time, I must have a face-to-face discussion with Liu Jingting. He doesn't even bother to participate in the usual small meetings of the conference, and he has never had the opportunity, so he has to take advantage of it this time and personally verify the quality of this young genius writer. ”

"Of course, I want to challenge Gu Yongsheng, anyway, this kind of thing is beneficial and harmless, it is normal to lose, and it is a big topic to get the upper hand by luck. ”

"If one person can't beat him, we'll form a team. Anyway, it's a fight with Liu Jingting, and he's not two people. There is no shame. ”

As a result of this discussion, writers from all over the country sent a joint letter to the Xihu City Office Group to hold a "writing meeting" at the summit site, and there is no need to emphasize that it is a "competition", that is, the writers are free to play, and when inspiration comes, they will paint a few strokes, and if there are good works, it will also be good for publicity.

The members of the organizing committee who received this joint letter were overjoyed, because this process was part of their plan, according to their deployment, 20 computers and three giant electronic screens will be installed at the summit site, and the writers can leave words on the spot if they are interested.

Now this arrangement coincides with the writers' advice, which provides great convenience for the next publicity.

……

"Recently, the organizing committee received a joint letter from dozens of writers, asking for a 'writing meeting' on the day of the summit, so that writers can create on the spot after discussion. ”

On the surface, of course, it is "free improvisation", but in fact, when it comes to the scene, the crowding and provocation in everyone's words, the atmosphere is set off, and the writing can easily become a fighting text.

"I didn't want to go, but when they did this, I became interested. ”

After this news was released, Han Shuo immediately called Liu Jingting.

"You are in a similar situation to me, offending many people in the circle, I think you can also attend, and there can be someone to help block the eye. Liu Jingting said with a smile.

"Frankly, I've been desperate for this circle for a long time, but this time they showed the axe to give us a little color, and it would be a while, anyway, I thought they were ugly for a long time. ”

"It's not that strict, right?" Liu Jingting said: "In the end, this kind of thing depends on the individual, for example, if I don't write a word when the time comes, whatever you say, I just don't write, who can bite me?"

"They won't bite you on the spot, and it's hard to say after the show. You still don't understand the way of doing in this so-called circle. ”

"Aren't you used to this?"

"The point is, they're putting the news out now, the purpose is to remind the writers to prepare in advance, although the announcement says improvisation, you see, it must be a group of silent endorsements. ”

Liu Jingting said: "Me too." ”

"Of course, I will also prepare a few articles, and everyone will endorse and write silently, to see who is at a high level. Han Shuo had a hint of mischief in his tone.

"You're not going to write a spoof article, are you?"

"Haha, I actually wanted to write a fairy tale about the zoo games, but then I thought about it, and writing it like this scolded you and Shui An into it, so I had to give up. ”

Liu Jingting smiled and said, "You can send this article to your magazine." ”

"You said this, I thought of another good idea, or the two of us will release a manuscript enlightenment together, saying that if there are better quality works at the summit site, they can be hired as appropriate, and a thousand words and thousands of yuan will be paid, what do you think?"

"Yes. Liu Jingting agreed, and praised Han Shuo's talent for spoofing.

So, when discussing the West Lake Sword Discussion on the Internet, "Yuan Shangcao" and "Craftsman's Record" posted a letter of invitation at the same time:

In response to the call of the summit, the journal decided to accept the high-quality works on the day of the summit and give the author a remuneration of 1,000 words. ”

This invitation to the manuscript seems to be solemn and short and concise, but in fact, there are many articles, first of all, the summit is more than the text, the number of wins and losses is just the evaluation of the group of people on the scene, there is no fixed standard, and there is no first;

Secondly, in Han Shuo's concept, the literary world is a circle that praises each other, and no matter what words he and Liu Jingting write, everyone will say that it is not good, and that is not good;

In the end, with this call for papers, Han Shuo and Liu Jingting have a way out, their articles can not be treated by the people on the scene, but they can praise each other's articles for being "of high quality" and be hired, which is equivalent to returning those people a slap in the face.

This is the reason why Liu Jingting felt that Han Shuo reacted quickly.

After Han Shuo and Liu Jingting's letter of appointment was sent, Tang Fei immediately called Liu Jingting and asked them about their concerns about doing so, Liu Jingting truthfully told him, Tang Fei thought about it and finally said: "In this case, when the time comes, we will track the live broadcast of the Wenhui and open a voting channel on the live video page, so that the majority of netizens can be judges." ”

Liu Jingting said with a smile: "It's not that I'm arrogant, if I do this, they may lose so much that they can't even find their pants, it's not that the quality of the article is different, but the readership base is different." ”

"Articles always have to be published, and if you want to compare, this is also something that can't be helped. ”

"I don't have a problem. ”

"That's what to do. ”

……

A week before the start of the summit, that is, on September 2, the live broadcast of the summit was announced, and everyone's curiosity was fully stimulated.

The TV series "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and the West Lake Sword Debate have become the hottest topics on the Internet at present, and at the same time, the question of "whether Liu Jingting will choose to release a new book on the day of the summit" has also become a hot topic of everyone's attention.

On September 9 of a certain year, 96 writers from all over the country gathered in West Lake, including the older generation of writers represented by Feng Changxing, the Zhongxing generation writers represented by Xu Yong, and the young writers represented by Liu Jingting, Han Shuo, Xue Muliang and others. It can be said that the sages are all over the place, and the little long and salty gathering.

The summit officially kicked off. (To be continued......)
