Chapter 159: New Concept Essay Contest
Duan Hou's determination to write a peerless masterpiece is much stronger than Zhou Hao's, he didn't have this confidence before, but since he knew that Tong Yan's novel was published, he felt that writing a book didn't seem to be difficult, Tong Yan's composition was really good, and he was very popular with Song Xiancheng, but his language score was also very high, at this time he deliberately ignored that the reason why his language score was very high was because his words were too beautiful, and even suspected that Tong Yan's composition score was higher than him was probably because of the relationship between Tong Yan and his daughter.
Therefore, it is very likely that his talent is actually not weaker than Tong Yan, and even higher. With such a high spirit, Duan Hou began the creation of his debut novel, "Honey in the Flower Season" did not shock the online literary world as he imagined, not even a ripple waved, no one watched, no one paid attention, and the completely rookie Huang Tianhou would not even advertise, although advertising was not very useful.
Just when Duan Hou was almost desperate, the first book review finally appeared in the clean book review area, like a ray of sunshine shining on him who was confused in the dark, and a reader named Egg Tart Dan Tart wrote: You write so slowly, it's strange if someone reads it, you deserve to hit the street!
Duan Hou's toilet opened suddenly, like an initiation, it turned out that the reason why no one read it was not because I didn't write well, but because I wrote slowly!
Yes, it must be this reason, why Tong Yan is so popular, isn't it because he writes a lot every day! Isn't it because he lives in a rented house alone, and he can write whenever he wants!
Duan Hou, who finally understood, began to ask for leave frequently, looking for various reasons to ask for leave, and ran to the nearest spider web café when he left the school gate.
His family is too strict, so he has to write in an Internet café, although he spends a lot of time every day on "Honey in the Flower Season", but his daily writing volume is only 6,000 words. In order to appear more, he split the 6,000 words into four chapters, each with more than 1,000 words. It does seem to be updated a lot, but in this way. Not only did the update chapter not appear in the update list on the front page, but even the only three or two readers began to criticize him for his shameless behavior that was inferior to 2k.
Duan Hou thinks this is a good start, because some readers have begun to scold him in the book review area, which he couldn't ask for in the past, and he believes that there will be more readers who criticize, and there will definitely be praise, but no.
"The Honey of the Flower Season", which has accumulated a certain number of words, has been hovering around the 150th place on the list of new books, and has attracted three or four readers to criticize him every day with its unique humanistic temperament. First person, campus romance, endless inner drama, the girl I like has a boyfriend, the girl who likes him used to be very dissolute, and she had an abortion, it can be said that this book gathers half of the poisonous points of online readers, and these readers who can insist on spraying him every day are also quite dedicated.
But it is precisely because of these dedicated trolls that Duan Hou is full of hope on the road of literary creation, but unfortunately before the novel can be released, his achievements in real life collapsed first.
It's another monthly exam once a month, and Duan Hou ranks fifth in the liberal arts class in September, which is not ideal. This time, he was angry and tried to get back to the top three, but he was coding words almost every day and night. The energy is too exhausted, and he has not memorized a lot of the knowledge in the book, when answering the paper, not only can he not answer the questions very smoothly, but also distracted from thinking about the plot of the novel for a long time, and finally because he is too tired, he also slept for a while.
After the results came out, a group of teachers and classmates were stunned, and Duan Hou actually took the 53rd place in the liberal arts of the whole grade. The number of Chinese subjects in Yangping is far less than that of science subjects, and the results of liberal arts are not as good as those of science subjects. Although this ranking is similar to Tong Yan's ranking in the science class, the meaning of the representation is too far away. Tong Yan has no problem taking a good 211 university, but Duan Hou's current grades can only take an average one.
So the teacher called the parents and asked them why there was always something to call Duan Hou home during this time, and the parents asked the teacher, our family was so good before, why are the grades so bad now! What, do you say we're calling Houhou home? What, you said that the day before yesterday Houhou and his grandmother were sick, and the day before yesterday the child and his grandfather were gone? What kind of is this!
After the teacher and the parents had a big quarrel, they all looked at the frightened thick on the side.
Under the pressure of teachers and parents, Duan Hou's writing of a novel was finally exposed.
Fortunately, the Duan family is still a scholarly family, and Duan Hou's unreliable behavior has not suffered domestic violence, but the novel must not be written, not only that, but there are many other invisible punishments, his parents are both cultural people, and cultural people are terrible.
may also realize that he has no talent in online novels, or novels, Duan Hou finally gave up "Honey in the Flower Season" completely, and this experience can be regarded as a scar in his flower season.
Finally no longer having to write novels, Duan Hou felt very relaxed, slept for twelve hours, and after waking up, he reflected on himself.
Being able to write a good essay may not be able to write a good novel, but I can only say that I am too impulsive, and I must not do this next time.
During the boring holidays, his parents asked him to reflect at home, and he was not allowed to go anywhere, let alone touch the computer, and go to his web novel.
Duan Hou knew how strict his father was, so he didn't dare to go out, nor did he dare to play with the computer, so he had to look for books or magazines from the bookshelf to read, and suddenly, an old magazine attracted him.
"Sprout" July issue!
On the cover is written a few bold words: "The 9th National New Concept Essay Contest has begun!" ”
That's right, in July this summer, the 9th New Concept Essay Contest has begun to solicit essays, this competition that has cultivated star young writers such as Han Sai, Guo Xiaosi, Zhang Yueran has been in its ninth year, although the influence has declined a little, and it cannot be compared with the first few years, and no influential writers have been cultivated in recent years, but in the eyes of students and literature lovers, this competition is still the most bullish competition in China. And because this event is jointly organized with more than a dozen colleges and universities across the country such as Tsinghua University and Peking University, it is also known as the "Olympiad in the language world!" ”
Duan Hou quickly opened the magazine and turned the page about the details of the competition, and when he saw that the deadline was November 25, Duan Hou breathed a sigh of relief, there is still nearly a month to go, which is enough, he is not good at online novels that require high speed, can't he even write an essay a month.
Duan Hou, who had been very desperate before, felt hopeless to surpass Tong Yan, finally rekindled his hope, and his essay score was also very high, maybe he could be ashamed in the field of the New Concept Essay Contest, no, not perhaps, it must be!
It's just that if he is the only one who participates, then how can he compare Tong Yan to him, no, he has to find a way to let Tong Yan compete with him, he is busy writing online novels every day, and he can't even sleep well, it is definitely not as attractive as his carefully prepared composition!
Tong Yan didn't know that someone was preparing to dig a pit waiting for him to jump, and he was now home.
Every holiday means that he and Song Rao have been separated for a month, this time he returned to the rental house, his steps were slow and gentle, he hoped to see Song Rao lying on his bed, even if he was wearing clothes, it didn't matter, he could take it off by himself, but unfortunately not, it seems that what she said is true, she went to the Great Wall with her classmates this weekend, and Song Rao, who arrived in the big city, has no attachment to the small city of Yangping at all, the distance is so close, she hasn't come back once a month, and every time she calls, she always complains that Tong Yan doesn't take the initiative to call her, also said that Tong Yan didn't want her.
Tong Yan had to coax sweetly, until Song Rao was satisfied and sleepy, or her roommate couldn't stand their sweet words, she gave up, and the long-distance relationship was really not so easy.
In fact, even if Song Rao comes back this weekend, Tong Yan will accompany her for a few hours at most, he still has to go home after all, and if he didn't go back last time, he already made his parents have a lot of opinions, so he must go home this time.
Mom and Dad are still busy and don't spend much time at home, but they're very busy and happy now. Tong Yan was still greeted at home by the big yellow cat in the twilight, Tong Yan teased it a few times, but he didn't know how to sell cute responses, bad reviews.
Shanshan is not there, it should be out to play with classmates, since the change in the family, Shanshan dresses beautifully, plays high-end, has more and more friends, and is more and more mixed, in terms of interpersonal communication and shrewdness, Shanshan inherited his mother's excellent genes, and Tong Yan is more like his wooden father, saying that his son is like a mother, and his daughter is like a father, which is not necessarily true.
It's okay if there is no one at home, Tong Yan can devote himself to the world of his novels, and now Tong Yan doesn't think about the new book for the time being, his mind is full of "Raging Thunder", just a little bit, just a little bit about to finish, although he is full of emotion, but he still has to clean up his mood and try his best to write two more days this month, but Tong Yan is expected to have 20,000 words left, so the updates in these two days will be more than the previous chapter per day.
Tong Yan promised again that it would definitely end this month, and he would have more or less as many as possible, and the monthly ticket skyrocketed again in the last two days, and it was already fifth on the penultimate day.
"This is the penultimate chapter, write the last chapter tomorrow, no matter how many words there are, only one more chapter will be posted, and where each character should go, tomorrow will see."
"This chapter may be written very quickly, I already have very clear pictures in my head, and I have been circling in my mind for the past few days, and I would love to put them into words, in one go."
"This chapter may also be written very slowly, because I will check it many times to make sure that every word and punctuation is what I want to say, or it may be because I am reluctant to end, anyway, see you tomorrow!"
After Tong Yan's single chapter was released, there was a lot of discussion in the book review area, and nearly a year of companionship was about to come to an end, and everyone couldn't mess with it.
Among the many book reviews that discuss the finale, one book was written by a Taiwanese reader.
