Liu Xing and Director Wu Guokun are chatting about the second season of the essay contest.

"There were significantly more entries in the second season than in the first show, with an increase of about 75%. Director Wu Guokun said, "It's just that the quality of the works is still not high, and more than ninety percent of the works can only be used as scraps." Most of the contestants are at a very amateurish level. ”

Liu Xing was puzzled: "Director Wu, is there a problem in any link? The high prize of 120 million yuan has not attracted many star writers to participate. ”

In the first season of the essay contest, a total of nearly 100,000 entries were received, but there were less than 50 star writers, accounting for about 1 in 2,000, which is pitiful.

"This is normal, most star writers are not very interested in the essay competitions held by the people, they feel that the level of the essay competitions held by the people is not enough, the stage is too small, and even good works are difficult to get a fair evaluation. Director Wu Guokun introduced, "Therefore, most star writers are generally reluctant to participate in the essay competition held by the people. The higher the level of the writer, the more obvious this mentality is. ”

Liu Xing suddenly realized.

In the first season of the essay contest, Liu Xing only found a total of one work that met the conditions for entering the gods, "Variety Black Shadow Man", if this ratio continues, by the end of the essay contest next year, he can only find six works that can enter the gods.

That's too little!

Liu Xing spent so much energy to hold this essay contest in the hope of finding a large number of novels that can be used to enter the gods, and six books are obviously not enough.

If there are high-level star writers participating in the competition, the number of excellent works will definitely increase significantly.

It's a pity that Liu Xing doesn't have much intersection with the writers' circle at all, and the star writers he knows can be counted on one hand.

Just as Liu Xing was thinking about it, he heard Director Wu Guokun say: "By the way, Xiao Liu, there is something I almost forgot to tell you." Are you interested in book connoisseurs?"

"Reader?" Liu Xing wondered, "What's wrong?"

"In the first season of the essay contest, you dug up nearly 20 star-rated novels without much effort, while our 50 judges were busy for three months. In total, only a little over 30 star novels have been discovered. Director Wu Guokun said, "Obviously, you are very talented in book appreciation. ”

Liu Xing smiled: "Director Wu, I'm just lucky......"

"Once it was luck. The second time is luck, but dozens of times in a row, it can't be luck. Director Wu Guokun said, "Actually, I have long felt that your vision is extraordinary. "Book Tomb Notes" was dug up by you. "The Master of the Book Coffin" was excavated by you, "Student Days" was excavated by you, as well as "How to Train a Scholar", "Don't Cry at the Age of Seventeen", "Detective Wang Nan's Black Shadow Man", "Variety Black Shadow Man", etc., all of which were discovered by you. Others have a hard time finding a star-rated novel in their lifetime, but in just one year, you have found dozens of star-rated novels. This number is not to mention Tianhai City, even if you look at the entire Huaxia country, you can enter the top 10. ”

After a pause, Director Wu Guokun said, "These are enough to explain. You have an extremely rare talent for book reading. There are two types of connoisseurs, those who are precisely calculated, who are good at computers and mathematics, and those who are intuitive, who are particularly sensitive to words and novels, and who are able to make judgments based on intuition. Intuitive connoisseurs are very rare, not necessarily one in 1,000 connoisseurs, they are geniuses among connoisseurs, and you are such a genius. ”

Liu Xing smiled faintly: "Director Wu, the more you talk about it, the more mysterious it becomes, I actually don't know anything about book appreciation......

"Nope. I'm telling the truth. I have been a book connoisseur for more than 30 years, how can I not see if a person has a talent for book reading?" Director Wu Guokun added, "The 10 book connoisseurs of the jury are all shocked by your book reading talent. In the past 100 years, there has only been one person in Tianhai City who has a talent for book appreciation. ”

Liu Xing was curious: "Who?"

"Book King Escape!"

Director Wu Guokun continued, "It is said that Xiaoyaoke has a very high talent for book appreciation since he was a child, and he only needs to read a dozen pages of a book to roughly judge the quality of the book. Hitherto. Xiaoyaoke also holds the book appraisal record of Tianhai City. In his personal book appreciation career, the total number of novels he has identified is 330,000 volumes, ranking first among all the book connoisseurs in the nine provinces of China. ”

"330,000 copies?" Liu Xing's heart moved, this number ...... It's kind of amazing indeed!

Until now, Liu Xing has only identified more than 100,000 novels. You know, because he has a book eye, it only takes 5 seconds to detect a novel.

An ordinary book connoisseur can identify 50,000 novels in his lifetime, which is already at the top level.

"A computational connoisseur would not be able to identify 330,000 novels even if he lived for 500 years. Director Wu Guokun explained, "Only an intuitive book connoisseur who is extremely sensitive to words and novels, and has an excellent imagination, has the ability to quickly identify the quality of novels." In the past 100 years, such a genius has never appeared again. ”

Looking at Liu Xing, Director Wu Guokun said, "Xiao Liu, you may be the most talented book connoisseur after Xiaoyaoke, don't waste your rare talent." ”

Liu Xing confessed: "Director Wu, first of all, I really don't have any talent. Second, I don't have much interest in being a book connoisseur. ”

His goal is to enter the fairy tale novel and become an immortal, as for the book connoisseur, it is completely outside the scope of his consideration.

Director Wu Guokun persuaded earnestly: "Xiao Liu, interest can be cultivated slowly, you have such a talent that you have not encountered in a hundred years, but you are not a book connoisseur, it is simply a tyrannical thing, and heaven does not tolerate it!"

"......" Liu Xing.

"Anyway, I still hope you think about it. Director Wu Guokun persuaded him for a while, and added, "A few days ago, I and 10 book connoisseurs from the jury have jointly written a letter of recommendation to the Yufeng Novel Academy, recommending you to enter the book appreciation department of the Novel Academy. If nothing else, you should be able to receive an invitation from the Imperial Wind Fiction Academy within this month......"

"Isn't it?" Liu Xing's eyes kept looking, "Director Wu, I'm not very interested in college life......

"I really don't know what to say about you. Director Wu Guokun looked like he hated iron but not steel, and said, "How many people have sharpened their heads and tried to squeeze into the Yufeng Novel Academy without success, and now the Yufeng Novel Academy is preparing to recruit you, are you still not happy? Xiao Liu, even if you don't like to study, go to the Novel Academy for a walk, and have a long experience." The School of Fiction is full of talents, with first-class connoisseurs, first-class readers, first-class theorists, and first-class writers......

"A first-class writer?"

When he heard these five words, Liu Xing's heart moved: Yes, there should be many star writers in the writing department of Yufeng Novel Academy, right? If you go in and fool some star writers to participate in the essay contest, you should be able to produce a lot of excellent works!

Thinking of this, Liu Xing finally became interested in the School of Fiction.

Being a non-connoisseur is secondary, and if you can fool a few top star writers in the Academy of Fiction to write for yourself, it is definitely not a loss-making business.

"Director Wu, it seems that the teaching of the School of Fiction is closed, right?"

"Yes. However, we've already explained your situation to the School of Fiction. You're now a member of the Fiction Street Committee, you have a lot of work to do, and you've been holding an essay contest recently, so it's impossible to spend all your time at the Fiction Academy. Director Wu Guokun explained, "In view of your situation, the School of Fiction will have special arrangements for you. You go to the Fiction Academy on time every day, and after school, you can return to Fiction Street. In short, a genius connoisseur like you, the School of Fiction will definitely help you to the fullest. ”

Liu Xing thought about it, this was barely acceptable. During the day, I can take classes at the Fiction Academy and try to win over some writers to write novels, and at night, I can read novels by myself.

Grasp the creation of novels with one hand and the reading of novels with the other, and take a two-pronged approach, learning and cultivating immortals.

"It worked, it really worked!"

The two were chatting, and at this time, Zhao Baisheng rushed in quickly, his face was full of excitement, as if he had won the five million lottery, "I really succeeded!"

Wu Guokun was curious: "Xiao Zhao, what is so happy?"

"Teacher Liu is really like a god!" Zhao Baisheng said excitedly, "He told me last night that "Variety of Black Shadow Man" may have been upgraded to a two-star novel, and I originally thought he was joking. As a result, I went to test it today, and found that it was really a two-star novel!

After listening, Wu Guokun let out a long sigh. People are really angry compared to people, Liu Xing's talent for book appreciation makes Wu Guokun feel that he has lived to a dog for more than 40 years.

……

In the days that followed, Liu Xing continued to read "The Amorous Swordsman Ruthless Sword" every day, and at the same time checked the entries for the essay contest.

In just two weeks, he unearthed 9 more star novels, which stunned the jury.

Half a month later, Liu Xing really received an invitation letter from Yufeng Novel Academy.

The invitation letter was sent by the director of the admissions department of the School of Fiction, and Liu Xing was warmly invited to the School of Fiction for an interview. If the interview is successful, they will be recruited to the book appreciation department of the School of Fiction.

Liu Xing was not interested in the study of book connoisseurs, as far as he knew, the courses of the book connoisseur department were the most boring, tedious, and profound in the School of Fiction, and ordinary people could not learn them at all.

What's more, a book connoisseur needs to study for at least ten years!

Liu Xing didn't have the energy to study hard in the book appreciation department for ten years.

However, in order to win over more writers and cultivate immortals, Liu Xing decided to go to the book appreciation department for a while......

Anyway, you can drop out of school at any time......
