Chapter 237: Book King Candidates and Book King Treatment
"In the just-concluded 'Easy Cup' Novel Competition, Black Shadow Man broke out of the encirclement with a copy of "108 Heroes", stood out among many top writers and won the championship in one fell swoop. {We don't write novels, we're just online text portersβ" Du Hefeng said, "In terms of writing skills, he has reached the level of a grandmaster."} There are only a handful of writers who can write works of this level in a few days "108 Heroes" in China. β
The Dean of the Lihua Fiction Academy agreed: "According to the rules of the Xiaoyao Cup Novel Competition, any writer who wins the championship in the competition automatically becomes a candidate for the king of books. The novel contest has been held for 20 sessions so far, and a total of 20 candidates for the king of books have been born, and Black Shadow Man is one of them. Among these 20 candidates, only the Black Shadow Man is extraordinary, and he has the ability to compete with Feng Manlou. β
The dean of the Taxue Novel Academy asked: "However, whether "108 Heroes" was created by the Black Shadow Man is not completely certain, and the Black Shadow Man may not be the winner of the novel competition. Taking a step back, even if this novel is really written by the Black Shadow Man, it may not be appropriate to elect the Black Shadow Man as the king of books based on a single novel. β
Du Hefeng sighed: "This decision is indeed a bit hasty, but at the moment, apart from the Black Shadow Man, do we have a better candidate?"
Everyone looked at each other and fell silent.
The Dean of the Moon Viewing Fiction Academy asked, "We don't know much about the Black Shadow Man, and we don't even know where he lives, how can we recommend him to be the king of books?"
Du Hefeng said: "The Dark Shadow Man has appeared in the Forbidden Book Zone before, and he should still be in Tianhai City." Let's talk about how to get in touch with the Shadow Man. β
Everyone nodded.
β¦β¦
Late at night, Meteor Book Bar.
In the spacious reading room on the first floor, Liu Xing, Wu Guokun and more than a dozen other connoisseurs are meeting together to discuss the ranking of the "Black Shadow Man Cup" essay contest.
The sixth season of the essay contest officially ended a few days ago, which means that this year's essay contest has come to an end. This year's essay call has been very profitable, especially in the sixth season, which has achieved fruitful results.
Top writers such as Mo Ming, Wu Shengtai, and Nie Daxuan participated in the sixth season of the essay contest in order to thank the Black Shadow Man for saving his life.
These writers have produced a total of 39 Black Shadow Man novels, each of which is rated above 2 stars, and 28 works that are above 4 stars. There are 3 works with more than five stars, which is a successful conclusion to this essay contest.
"Among the 3 five-star works, Mo Ming's "The Song King of the Black Shadow Man" is a step ahead. Wu Guokun commented, "The text of this novel is very distinctive. It adopts the technique of a musical novel, making each character melodic, and the difficulty of creation is very high, which is a new attempt. β
"Mo Ming seems to have a relative named Mo Bai, who is a stream-of-consciousness master. is proficient in music, Mo Ming should be influenced by him. Another judge added.
Liu Xingdao: "I just read Mo Ming's "The King of the Song of the Black Shadow Man", and I do have a feeling of uncertainty. β
"Don't know how to be strong?" Director Wu Guokun wondered, "Xiao Liu, what does 'not know how hard it means'?"
"Uh......" Liu Xing said, "I don't know what I'm talking about, which means that although I don't understand what he's talking about, it sounds like it's very powerful." β
Wu Guokun suddenly realized and said with a smile: "It's the first time I've heard of this word, but it's really in place to comment on Mo Ming's works." Mo Ming's novel attempts to merge stream of consciousness and human flow. Many people can't understand it, and it's really confusing. However, its artistic value is unquestionable. β
The other judges agreed.
When Mo Ming participated in this year's Xiaoyao Cup Novel Contest, his results have always been ranked in the top ten in the Yufeng Division. If it weren't for the snake venom, he would have had a good chance of making it to the finals.
Therefore, with Mo Ming's strength, he was able to dominate the "Black Shadow Man Cup" essay competition, and it is not surprising that the judges are able to dominate it.
Later, after the judges' vote, Mo Ming was finally confirmed as the champion of the first "Black Shadow Man Cup" novel competition. According to the rules of the competition, he will receive a huge prize fund of more than 100 million yuan.
However, the biggest winner of this essay contest is still Liu Xing.
So far, 135 star novels have passed the review of the Reading Alliance. Some works have already begun to be sold on the market, and the total profit of these works will exceed 2 billion yuan.
In the huge profit of 2 billion yuan, Bohai Book City and Meteor Book Bar can take about one-third, and the money will naturally flow into Liu Xing's pocket, which means that Liu Xing can earn at least 700 million yuan.
Meanwhile, in the sixth season. Liu Xing found 7 more black shadow man novels with a match of more than 30%.
Everything is going very well.
At about eleven o'clock in the evening, after selecting the works of the essay competition, Wu Guokun and other judges left the Meteor Book Bar one after another.
Not long after they left, a person suddenly came to visit, and the person who came was an old man, over ninety years old, with kind eyebrows and kind eyes, who was the dean of the Yufeng Novel Academy - Du Hefeng!
A character of Du Hefeng's level, ordinary people rarely meet once in their lives, and after learning that the dean of the Novel Academy was visiting, Liu Xing knew that something big might have happened.
β¦β¦
Meteor Book Bar, in the office.
"Xiao Liu, I came to you tonight mainly to discuss with you about the Black Shadow Man. After Du Hefeng briefly explained his intentions, he said straight to the point, "We are going to nominate the Black Shadow Man as the new book king in eastern China. β
Liu Xing was slightly stunned: "Book King, what do you mean?
Du Hefeng let out a long sigh: "King Lin has been missing for several years, but we have been blocking the news. This time, the wind is full of buildings, trying to seize the throne of the book king, and this matter can no longer be hidden. After repeated discussions, the Eastern Council of the Reading Alliance believes that the Black Shadow Man is the only one who has the ability to compete with Feng Manlou. Therefore, we would like to nominate the Black Shadow Man to inherit the position of the Book King, and he will lead the four major novel academies of 'Wind Flower Snow Moon'. β
Liu Xing's heart tightened slightly, and suddenly such a heavy burden was thrown over, and he suddenly felt pressured, and asked, "Are you sure that the Black Shadow Man has the ability to take the position of the Book King?"
Du Hefeng explained: "We really don't know much about the Black Shadow Man, but judging from the work "108 Heroes", the cultivation of the Black Shadow Man is already at the grandmaster level, and there are very few people who can surpass him. β
"......" Liu Xing sighed in his heart, copying novels is really a shortcut to success. If you hadn't copied "Water Margin", you would have to struggle for at least another sixty or seventy years if you want to be the king of books.
"The Black Shadow Man has outstanding martial arts, and only he can shake the Wind Manlou, but unfortunately, we have not been able to contact the Black Shadow Man. Du Hefeng turned his head and looked at Wang Lanlan, who was sitting on the sidelines. asked, "Little Sister Lan Lan, you are the most familiar with the Black Shadow Man, do you know where the Black Shadow Man is?"
Wang Lanlan shook her head: "I haven't seen a black shadow man for a few months. β
Du Hefeng's old face showed a look of disappointment. Asked: "If we publish the search revelation directly in the media, will the Black Shadow Man show up?"
Liu Xing reminded: "Dean Du, even if he finds a black shadow man, he may not be willing to serve as the king of books. Most readers don't know enough about the Black Shadow Man, and he will inherit the position of the Book King. I'm afraid it's hard to convince the public. β
Du Hefeng frowned and said, "Your analysis is a bit reasonable, we invited the Black Shadow Man to be the Book King in such a hurry, it seems that the sincerity is insufficient, and the Black Shadow Man may think that we are too perfunctory." Is there any way to show our sincerity to the Shadowmen?"
After pondering for a while, Du Hefeng proposed, "Otherwise, we will hold another 'Black Shadow Man Cup' essay contest." After the start of the competition, all the top writers of our reading alliance participated in the competition, and invited the black shadow people to come out of the mountain in the form of essays. β
Liu Xing was a little puzzled: "What do you mean?"
Du Hefeng explained: "General essay contests. Top writers will not participate. The only essay contest that can be entered by all top writers is the one named after the king of books, such as the 'Easy Cup' Novel Contest. We are now allowing top writers to participate in the second 'Black Shadow Man Cup' Essay Contest, which is equivalent to allowing Black Shadow People to enjoy the same treatment as the King of Books." If Shadow Man sees that so many top writers are willing to support him, I think he might be willing to show up. β
Liu Xing suddenly realized, thought about it carefully, and felt that this idea was good. If all the top writers came to write Black Shadow Man novels, he would have more works that could be fascinating.
"Xiao Liu, if there is no objection, it will be decided first. Du Hefeng said. "You prepare these days, the second 'Black Shadow Man Cup' essay contest will start this week, the sooner the better. β
Liu Xing nodded.
β¦β¦
Two days later.
In the Xiaoyao Square of Novel Street, the award ceremony of the first "Black Shadow Man Cup" novel contest was held. As the chief planner of this contest and the chairman of the management committee of Novel Street. Liu Xing presided over the ceremony.
At the ceremony, Liu Xing announced the list of the top 10 winners of the competition, as well as the list of 100 excellence awards, and presented awards to the winning writers.
Among them, Mo Ming, the winner of the competition, won a huge prize of 120 million yuan, which was the envy of many writers.
Outcome. At the award ceremony, Mo Ming made a decision that stunned everyone present - he decided to donate all the 120 million yuan prize money on the spot to create a Black Shadow Man Charity Fund.
In an interview with media reporters, Mo Ming said that money is something outside the body, and if it wasn't for the help of the black shadow man to dissolve the snake venom, he would have died long ago. In order to express his respect for the Black Shadow Man, he plans to use 120 million yuan to set up the Black Shadow Man Charity Fund so that it can help more people.
Mo Ming's decision has been well received by all walks of life and has added a highlight to this essay contest.
After the award of the first essay contest, Liu Xing immediately held a press conference to announce the official launch of the second "Black Shadow Man Cup" essay contest.
The second "Black Shadow Man Cup" Essay Contest has a special significance, it is actually helping Black Shadow Man to gain popularity and prestige.
The more writers who participate in this essay contest, the more supporters the Black Shadow Man has.
Before the contest began, Du Hefeng and others held an emergency meeting, advocating that writers in eastern China participate in the essay contest as much as possible, and invite the black shadow people to appear with the greatest sincerity.
Still, most of the top writers are on the sidelines after the contest opens. They all understand that this is a very special period, and participating in the Black Shadow Cup Essay Contest means that they support Black Shadow to be the new book king.
Most writers are not very familiar with the Black Shadow Man, and they don't know the bottom of their hearts, so they don't dare to make a rash decision.
As a result, on the morning of the launch of the second essay contest, no five-star writer announced his participation.
Until more than 11 o'clock in the afternoon, a young woman came to the Meteor Book Bar, the woman was in her twenties, dressed in white clothes like snow, beautiful and elegant, and had an extraordinary temperament.
When the woman in white appeared, media reporters swarmed around, and they all recognized the identity of the woman in white, she was the top ten writers of the Xiaoyao Cup Novel Contest - Hua Yingxue.
"Ms. Hua, are you here to buy books?"
Faced with reporters' questions, Hua Yingxue said bluntly: "I am here to participate in the second Black Shadow Cup Essay Contest. β
Her answer surprised many reporters present, Hua Yingxue was the first top writer to publicly support the Black Shadowman Cup competition.
"Ms. Hua, why are you participating in the Black Shadow Man Cup Competition?"
"Ms. Hua, do you also support the Black Shadow Man to inherit the throne of the Book King?"
β¦β¦
When the reporter chattered and asked, Hua Yingxue said: "The Black Shadow Man once saved my life. β
When she was in the forbidden book area, Hua Yingxue already knew the identity of the Black Shadow Man. When she and Liu Xingqin played "Smiling Proud Jianghu Song", the two already had a heart, and at that moment, Hua Yingxue faintly felt that the other party was the legendary black shadow man.
It's just that she didn't break it.
After Hua Yingxue's public competition, in the afternoon of the same day, Ouyang Wen, Wu Guoqian and other seven top ten writers of the Xiaoyao Cup arrived at the Meteor Book Bar one after another, and they all said that they would participate in the Black Shadow Man Cup Essay Competition.
When the reporter asked the reason, Ouyang Wen and the others gave a very simple answer: "The Black Shadow Man once saved our lives." β
In just one day, eight of the top 10 writers of the Xiaoyao Cup publicly expressed their support for the Black Shadow Man and won a good start for the essay contest.
β¦β¦
Bohai Book City, underground secret room.
"What? The Reading Alliance invited you to be the king of books?" Lin Shishu's face showed surprise, "How could Lin Xiaoyao disappear, did he escape?"
Liu Xing shook his head: "It shouldn't be, it is said that Lin Xiaoyao has been missing for five years." β
"Five years?" Lin Shishu frowned slightly, "What kind of medicine is this old thing selling in his gourd? is he hiding, or is he dying of old age?"
On the side, Fu Changding said: "Brother Black Shadow, no matter what, I think you should fight for the position of the king of books." I'm also going to participate in the Black Shadow Man Cup Essay Contest to help you get popular. β
Lin Shushu agreed: "Xiao Fu is right, Brother Black Shadow, this is a great thing! If you can become the king of books, there is no need to overthrow the Reading Alliance, directly dominate the novel world, and sit back and enjoy it." When the time comes, you will be in charge of all the resources of the Reading Alliance, and the goal of immortality will no longer be far away......" (To be continued. )
