Chapter Seventy-Three: A Miracle
(Unlucky, I wrote about a power outage in the middle of last night.) I'm afraid that there will be something in the morning and I can't continue to write and delay today's update. I ran to the Internet café in the middle of the night to code words. I haven't been to the Internet café for a long time, and I realized that the price is really dark. It used to be two dollars an hour. Now it's just five pieces. It took me twenty oceans to write in four hours. I didn't earn a penny, but I spent a lot. Everyone sees that I am working so hard, if you have any extra tickets, just throw a few to me. )
It has been 23 years since the Essay Contest was held. During these twenty-three years, countless talented writers have emerged. But no matter how talented they are, no one has ever been able to finish first twice in the first three rounds.
This has to do with its format, the first three rounds have a large number of participants, and generally do not rank them. However, if there is a particularly good work, the name will be listed separately. That is, the first place in the popular sense.
As for the last three rounds, because the number of people has decreased and the normal ranking has begun, there are too many people who have won the first place. Therefore, the first place in the fourth and fifth rounds is not as concerned as the first place in the first three rounds. As for the sixth round, it is the finals, and the first place will be the champion of this edition of the literary competition, which is naturally the most concerned.
However, there are no absolutes, in previous years, there have been cases where the first work in the third round appeared in "Contemporary" magazine, and the champion work was not selected. It is precisely for this reason that in the eyes of many people, the gold content of any first place in the first three rounds is not lower than that of the champion.
In the 23 years since the Essay Contest was held, there have been many people who have won the first place in the last three rounds and won the championship. But only Zhu Ziqing was able to win the first place twice in the first three rounds.
That's why he has attracted so much attention and is so popular. The sales of the works will continue to rise.
It is precisely because of the first place in two consecutive rounds that many people are privately speculating whether he can create another miracle in the third round. Even Qiandu did a survey to vote on whether Zhu Ziqing could win the first place in the third round.
Of course, the end result is that 86 percent of the people are not optimistic. Eleven percent of the people thought he wouldn't make it past the third round. Only three percent think he has a chance of making the next year.
is not optimistic, but it does not affect everyone's attention to this matter in the slightest. When the results come out, even those who are not optimistic will be tempted to check the list as soon as possible - in case it happens.
But the result stunned everyone - Zhu Ziqing's name hung high at the top of the list, and was specially marked in bold red font.
Zhu Ziqing?
Zhu Ziqing!
At this moment, the network boiled again. Zhu Ziqing won the first place in the first three rounds of the competition, creating an unprecedented miracle.
At this moment, the media has taken action, and countless celebrities have worked overtime to rush to write reports on the front page of tomorrow.
At this moment, countless invisible radio waves appeared in the night sky, telling this miracle to everyone who followed the results of the game.
The online media went one step faster and reported the results as soon as possible. Most of their words are "miraculous", "incredible", "magical", etc.
Qiandu News: Miracle teenager Zhu Ziqing won the first place in the three rounds of the literary competition.
Yiwang News: Incredible three rounds of names are listed separately.
Haijiao Forum: Zhu Ziqing won the first place in three consecutive rounds, creating an unprecedented miracle.
Netizens who followed the game also found their own small circles and expressed their shock to their friends.
"I just came back from the official website of the Essay Contest, guess what I saw?"
"Guess what, the landlord is not authentic and actually hangs everyone's appetite. I'll reveal the answer directly, the picture on the third floor. ”
"I'm Tu. ”
“…… Everyone come and watch the second floor and go up to the third floor. ”
“……”
Just when the post was about to be crooked 108,000 miles away, the picture of the second floor finally appeared on the tenth floor. However, it was very successful in straightening the crooked building.
Because the picture he posted is the list of candidates for the third round of the Essay Contest.
"SB on the tenth floor, I actually deceived people with the results of the previous issue. ”
"That's it, Zhu Ziqing is the first place, isn't this the result of the last round. What are you posting this picture for? Do you want to tell us that he also won first place in the third round, or is it to recruit people for others?"
"Upstairs it's both upstairs, and that's the result of the third round. Zhu Ziqing created a miracle, the first in three rounds. ”
"Don't blame them, if I hadn't just come back from the official website of the Essay Contest, I wouldn't have believed it was true. The first of the three rounds, unprecedented. Zhu Ziqing: This is going against the rhythm of the sky. ”
Similar posts appeared on countless website forums at the same time. Netizens who don't usually pay much attention to literature soon discovered a strange phenomenon. Click on any website and you can see posts about the first place in the three rounds of Zhu Ziqing's literary competition.
It is not only ordinary netizens who comment, but many well-known people can't help but express their feelings about it.
Xiao Jinguang commented on his personal scarf: "Congratulations to Zhu Ziqing for winning the first place in the three rounds of the literary competition. And attached is a screenshot of the list.
The official bib of "Sprout" magazine was the first to forward this scarf, and then Liu Xiaoping, Mobei, Wang Liujin and other writers praised and reprinted this scarf.
Mobei's comment is only a few words, but it is memorable: a god in my heart.
Wang Liujin's evaluation is much more decent: "I have been paying attention to Zhu Ziqing, the author, for a long time. I love his work and have a lot of admiration for his talent. Over the years, I have seen many geniuses, but there has never been one who has given me such a big shock. ”
Other places are so lively, and the "House of Seven Nights", which is the base camp of Zhu Ziqing's fans, is about to boil.
The writer he supported actually won the first place in the three rounds of the literary competition, creating an unprecedented miracle. This proves how right their vision is. They have reason to be excited, they have reason to be excited.
"I was mighty and majestic in the big seven nights, knocking out all my opponents and winning the first place in the third round of the tournament. ”
"First in three rounds, first in three rounds, first in three rounds in Seven Nights. Important things to say three times. ”
"Can anyone tell me if I'm dazzled or hallucinating. I actually saw my name at the top of the list for the third round of the Wensai. ”
"Counting the Seven Nights' Works and Achievements......"
"Everyone won't forget Jin Linqi, a slut. He slandered Seven Nights for plagiarism, and also insulted Seven Nights in public. Now don't talk about the second round, the results of the third round are out. But this slut has not come out to fulfill the bet. We're not going to do something. ”
"That's right, take Jin Linqi's slut out and give me seven nights to vent my anger. It's a celebration of seven nights and a record of three consecutive championships. ”
"I support. Although I am soft-spoken, I can still contribute. I immediately went to the forums where I used to mess around. ”
"Count me in, I'm going to open a hundred vests to brush. Until Jin Linqi is brushed out. ”
Jin Linqi, who was gritting his teeth at this list, shuddered for no reason, as if something bad was about to happen. Immediately shook his head and threw the thought out.
Sure enough, winter is coming, and I feel cool in the house.
The influence of the Essay Contest is too great, and with the first place in the three rounds, countless people have been stirred, including Zhu Ziqing himself.
After the list was announced, his phone calls did not stop for a moment, and he received no less than 20 phone calls and 50 or 60 text messages within half an hour. It's all about good news and admiration.
Tao Yingshuang, who was not shocked by the incident, was silent for a long time when he saw this list, and after reacting, he ran over and praised him.
"The first of the three rounds is unprecedented, Ziqing, you can always surprise people. ”
"There's too much luck in it. Zhu Ziqing shook his head and said.
It's not that he's modest, don't look at the classics he carries from his previous life, but it also depends on what level of competition this is. In such a competition, a classic can pop up at any time.
Winning the first place once is strength, and there is a lot of luck in two consecutive rounds, and winning the first place in three consecutive rounds is really luck. Fortunately, there is no such work in this competition, otherwise this first is really hard to say.
"Luck is also part of strength, so don't be modest. Tomorrow the media is probably going to look for you everywhere again, and you are preparing to be interviewed. Or do you want to continue to hide?" said Tao Yingshuang with a smile.
"I'm not interested, I've been in front of the media too many times. As an author, it's not a good thing to be in front of the media all the time. ”
In my previous life, there was a saying that when a scientist often appeared in front of the media, it meant that his research career was over.
Although the writing of books is not so serious, it does have a certain bad impact when it appears in front of the media regularly. But don't forget that he is a porter's work, and he can't write it at all. It doesn't matter if you don't accept the interview at all, and it's purely to save trouble.
But Tao Yingshuang didn't know this. So I recognize Zhu Ziqing's words very much. At the same time, he is quite satisfied with his attitude of being favored and not moved by fame and fortune. A wonderful misunderstanding was born.
In the near future, Tao Yingshuang took the initiative to help him and Lin Baoer meet their parents, which is not unrelated to his good performance today.
"That's fine. But we can't do nothing, it's best to say hello to the media you know and let them help you steer the conversation. lest they fail to find you when they do not find you, and they talk nonsense. ”
"Well, I have a good relationship with Dajiang Daily, I'll call them tomorrow. Oh yes, and the Southern Metropolis Evening News. Zhu Ziqing also deeply agreed with this idea.
Speaking of which, there are really a lot of media he is familiar with. Not to mention anything else, the media interviewed by Wensai in the second round exchanged phone numbers with him. Although I haven't been in touch with each other, with that pleasant cooperation, I guess they won't refuse to take the initiative to call.
But he didn't. He was only familiar with the journalists, not with the media itself. Journalists don't really have much say in the media, and their interviews must be written according to the organization's intentions. They have to write what the organization tells them to write. Who knows what those media think, and what if any of them think about hacking themselves.
But Dajiang Bao is different. He has not dealt with Dajiang Daily once or twice, and the two sides have accumulated a certain degree of trust. That's why Zhu Ziqing thought of calling them.
As for the Southern Metropolis Evening News, this regional newspaper, although small, has always spoken for itself. Think of this call as a reward.
Speaking of returns, he remembered one more thing, turned his head and asked Tao Yingshuangdao:
"The Devotion of Suspect X has been serialized. How's the preparation for the release of the single book?"
