Before you know it, the essay contest has been held for three months, and nearly 100,000 entries have been submitted.

Of the 100,000 books, more than 95% of the works were scrapped books and were eliminated in the first round.

Among the more than 2,500 works shortlisted for the second round, 51 are star-rated novels, including 9 two-star novels and 42 one-star novels.

However, none of these 51 star novels are currently unknown to the jury, because they have not yet made a precise appraisal of the novels.

Authenticating a novel is a complex process, and it takes several hours to authenticate a novel. If the more than 2,500 shortlisted works are identified one by one, this is a huge amount of work, and the cost of book appraisal will be as high as tens of millions, or even more, which is simply not feasible.

Therefore, it is impossible for the jury to make an accurate appraisal of all the shortlisted novels, and can only make a preliminary judgment on the works with rich reading experience, and then select a small number of high-quality works from them and evaluate them.

In the selection process, the possibility of missing star novels is very high, after all, relying only on experience inevitably has a subjective component, and it is easy to make mistakes.

This is also the fundamental reason why most essay contests lose money.

Even the most experienced jury can hardly select all the best works from the huge number of works.

However, Liu Xing has checked all the entries with his book, and none of the 51 star novels will be missed.

The only regret is that the matching degree of the 51 star novels is relatively low, and the highest is only 24%, and it is impossible to use the "same situation and different love method" to enter the gods.

There is a premise for using the method of homogeneity. Novel match of at least 30%.

So, so far. Liu Xing still hasn't been able to find a work that meets the standards of entering the gods, so he can only hope that the quality of the subsequent entries will be higher.

The tournament will last for 18 months. It's only been 3 months now.

On this day, Liu Xing was in his office discussing with the jury the ranking of entries in the first quarter of the competition.

"Xiao Liu, are you really going to make this "Variety of Black Shadows" shortlisted for the top 20 of the first season?" Director Wu Guokun reminded, "Although the quality of this "Variety of Black Shadows" is good, the writing is relatively rough, and it is estimated that it is difficult to reach the level of a star-rated novel." ”

Another judge agreed: "It's okay for "Variety Black Shadow Man" to enter the top 100, but it's a bit far-fetched to enter the top 20!"

Liu Xing has already tested "Variety Black Shadow Man", which is rated as one star, and the matching degree has also reached 20.8%. It's basically no problem to get into the top 20.

It's just that "The Shadow Man" is a plot flow novel, and the plot line of this kind of novel is extremely complex, and it is difficult to make accurate judgments based on intuition alone, and it must be digitized with the help of computers to evaluate it more objectively.

Therefore, it is normal for Director Wu Guokun and other judges to have a deviation in their evaluation of "Variety Black Shadow Man".

"Otherwise, I will pay for this "Variety Black Shadow Man" out of my own pocket and take it to the book testing center for identification first. Liu Xing proposed, "After the appraisal results come out." Then decide whether you want it to be in the top 20 or not. ”

Hearing this, the judges couldn't help but smile.

Director Wu Guokun smiled: "Xiao Liu, you are really stubborn enough, it seems that you are very optimistic about this work!" Test it first, and speak with the data, so as not to say that our old guys are bullying you. ”

After the discussion. "Variety of Black Shadow Man" was sent to the book testing center.

After eight hours of testing, the results were sent back to the Meteor Book Bar.

When I saw the appraisal report of "Variety Dark Shadow Man". The judges were dumbfounded.

"Really...... What a star?"

"Xiao Liu is right!"

"It seems that we are all old, and so many people are looking away. Thanks to Xiao Liu's support, otherwise this "Variety Black Shadow Man" may have been buried. ”

"Xiao Liu's eyes are getting more and more thieves, and this month he has helped us find 8 missing novels. However, having said that, Xiao Liu is only 19 years old and has little experience, how can he be so accurate in choosing books?"

"Maybe it's talent. It is said that when the book king Xiaoyaoke was young, he was also very accurate in picking books, this kind of talent has not been encountered in a hundred years, and he can't be envious!"

……

Ten days later, the organizers of the "Black Shadow Man Cup" essay contest held a press conference in Tianhai City to announce the list of finalists for the first quarter of the essay competition.

As the chief planner of the essay contest, Liu Xing introduced the progress of the entire contest at the press conference.

When it was learned that among the entries in the first quarter, 51 star novels appeared, which attracted wide attention from all walks of life.

This result was greatly unexpected by everyone.

You must know that most of the entries in the first quarter are from the hands of ordinary novel lovers, and the level of creation is not high, coupled with the short creation time, the quality of the works must be relatively poor.

Under such circumstances, it is almost a miracle that the organizers were able to find 51 star novels among them.

When the news was exposed, the mainstream media in Tianhai City were full of praise for the level of the essay contest, and even commented that it was "the most successful essay contest in the history of Tianhai City".

Although the competition has only been started for three months.

With the spread of news and commentary, many writers have changed their minds about the essay contest.

The fact that so many star-rated novels can appear in the first season of the contest shows that the jury of the essay contest has a first-class level of discrimination, and this is a trustworthy jury.

This is crucial for the participating writers.

As a result, many writers who had originally taken a wait-and-see attitude joined the contest team, and after the press conference, the number of novel manuscripts received by the organizers increased significantly!

At the same time, after several investigations, the media found that the reason why the essay contest jury was so efficient seemed to be related to Liu Xing, the owner of Meteor Book Bar.

The 50 judges of the jury were full of praise for Liu Xing, believing that Liu Xing had a unique eye. Among the 51 star novels, many novels were discovered by Liu Xing.

When these inside information were exposed by the media, Liu Xing once again became the focus of attention of many media.

Liu Xing also got a new title - "the Bole of star writers".

More than a dozen star-rated novels in the essay contest were almost buried, and it was Liu Xing's efforts that brought these star-rated novels back to attention.

Most of the original authors of these works are amateur creators who have never written star novels.

The appraisal of novels is very expensive, and fiction creators with ordinary family backgrounds basically do not spend thousands of yuan to appraise novels. Therefore, even if they can write star novels, they may not be aware of it.

And in this essay contest, there are more than a dozen participating writers in this situation.

All of them were excavated by Liu Xing!

When these news were released, more than a dozen participating writers rushed to Tianhai City, found Liu Xing, and thanked him in person for his kindness. Among them, including Zhao Baisheng, the author of "Variety Black Shadow Man".

Zhao Baisheng was originally just an ordinary community security guard, who usually likes to write novels, but never thinks that he can become a star writer. He never expected that the "Variety Black Shadow Man" he wrote would reach the one-star level.

With this novel being excavated by Liu Xing, Zhao Baisheng ended his security career and officially became a writer, even a star writer.

His income will skyrocket dozens of times all at once, and his life will be completely changed.

And all of this stems from the essay contest, but also from Liu Xing.

So, Zhao Baisheng specially took a train from Karl Province in western China for two days and two nights, and rushed to Tianhai City, not for anything else, just to see Liu Xing.

There are eleven contestants with an experience like Zhao Gang.

Their inspirational stories have also become a highlight of the essay contest.

Fueled by this series of news and news, the second season of the essay contest was officially launched, and a large number of readers with dreams of being writers have joined the contest.

It's going to be an even hotter season!

……

In the evening, the lobby on the first floor of the Meteor Book Bar.

"Teacher Liu, my "Variety Black Shadow Man" has been revised again, could you please help me take a look at it again?" Zhao Baisheng carefully handed the manuscript to Liu Xing.

In recent days, Zhao Baisheng has been revising "Variety Black Shadow Man". Although the novel has reached one star, Liu Xing believes that it has the hope of hitting two stars, and suggests that Zhao Baisheng revise it.

Zhao Baisheng has already regarded Liu Xing as his mentor, he gladly accepted Liu Xing's suggestion, and has been busy revising the novel in the past few days. It happened that many judges in the Meteor Book Bar had seen "Variety Black Shadow Man", so Zhao Baisheng asked these judges for revisions.

After collecting the opinions of all the judges, Zhao Baisheng made drastic revisions to the novel.

Tonight, the manuscript was finally finished.

Picking up the novel, Liu Xing quickly flipped through it.

Title: The Shadow Man

Genre: Fantasy Novel

【Grade】2-star

【Match】30.7%

Liu Xing's eyes lit up slightly, and the level of the novel was not only upgraded to two stars, but the matching degree finally exceeded 30%.

The first entry that can be absorbed is finally born!

Although the matching degree is not high, if you use the same situation and different feelings method to enter the gods, it only takes about a month to enter the gods for a novel.

Liu Xing opened the novel and carefully read some of the novel chapters that Zhao Baisheng had revised.

Two hours later.

"Xiao Zhao, the level of this "Variety Black Shadow Man" has been significantly improved, and it may already be a two-star work. Liu Xing said.

"Teacher Liu, don't tease me. Zhao Baisheng only thought Liu Xing was joking, "I can write a one-star novel, which is already open, and I dare not expect a two-star novel." I revise the manuscript mainly to improve myself. ”

Liu Xing smiled: "Why don't we make a bet, if "Variety Black Shadow Man" can become a two-star novel, you will have a meal." ”

"Okay, don't talk about treats, just invite you to travel around the world. ”
