Chapter 197: The journey from here is the farthest
"The bus is there!"
Jing Yan first found the bus, Luo Xiaoxu followed behind, Tong Yan was a little far away, he had just hung up the phone.
"Xiaoxu, Jingyan, don't wait for the bus, someone is coming to pick us up." Tong Yan stopped the two of them.
"The notice didn't say it would pick us up." Jing Yan shook the notice, she had no experience when she was out of the house, she could only listen to the notice in one action, she would take whichever bus she was told to take, and she would reverse wherever she was told to reverse, so that there would be no mistakes.
"It's not the organizer who picks us up, it's a friend of mine, and she'll drive us over later." Tong Rock Road.
"Do you still have friends in the magic capital?" Jing Yan was a little unexpected.
Luo Xiaoxu didn't think it was strange, Tong Yan was an online writer and knew many peers from Tiannan and Haibei, and the online novel company seemed to be in the magic capital, so he said: "He has a lot of friends, let's go with him." ā
Jing Yan suddenly had a sense of defensiveness, could it be that these two people set up a game and wanted to plot against themselves, right? After thinking about it, Jing Yan felt that she was thinking too much, and after getting to know each other in the car for a few hours, she already had a general understanding of these two people, they are both middle school students who like literature and have a certain literary accomplishment, so they shouldn't do those angry things.
Although she has convinced herself to believe them, Jing Yan has become a lot more careful, which one is better to read novels on her mobile phone when she goes out? Mobile phone reading network, it will not be wrong to pay more attention, she has seen the sinister hearts of people, so the self-protection psychology is relatively strong.
After walking a distance, Tong Yan answered another call, then waved in one direction, and walked over, Tong Yan looked seriously at the woman who walked out of the car, "It turns out that Sister Gua looks like this!" ā
Sister Watermelon is a cute type of girl. Long hair, bangs, big eyes, round face, and iconic little tiger teeth allow her to distinguish herself from other girls, this is the first time Tong Yan has seen Sister Gua in real person.
"How. Got you down? Sister Watermelon glared.
"No, no, it's beautiful." Tong Yan hurriedly complimented.
Watermelon also reciprocated, "You are also much more handsome than in the photo." ā
"How can I see the photo on my ID card, I myself must be much stronger," although it was the first time they met, Tong Yan felt very relaxed and uninhibited, after all, they had known each other for more than a year, "Oh." By the way, let me introduce you, this is my classmate Luo Xiaoxu, this is Jingyan, a classmate from Bengbu, who picked it up on the road. ā
Jing Yan raised her eyebrows, what do you mean by picking it up! Tong Yan continued: "We are all here to participate in the new concept semi-finals, you can send us to the Tai'an Guest House." ā
"Okay, get in the car!"
Luo Xiaoxu and Jing Yan sat in the back. Tong Yan sat in the co-pilot's seat, so that it was convenient for them to chat. Although Jing Yan was curious about why Tong Yan had a friend who she never seemed to have met, she didn't talk much along the way, just quietly listened to the conversation between the two in front of her, trying to peel back the cocoon and find some effective information.
Tong Yan looked at the decoration design in the car, although he didn't understand anything. But he still sighed with a face: "Sister Gua, your car is good, you bought a car in the magic capital at such a young age, it's amazing!" ā
"This is my car, this is the 314 boss."
"314 is not bad."
"What, it's going to die. That is, for the sake of my face, I lent it to you. Watermelon complained.
Tong Yan smiled, "By the way, Sister Gua, I don't know your real name yet?" ā
"Can I not say it," Watermelon sighed, "my real name is a joke." ā
"Oh."
"Forget it, sue you, my name is Lin Zhenhua, just know, don't spread the word." Watermelon admonished very seriously.
Tong Yan didn't do anything yet, Jing Yan in the back couldn't help laughing, this is a man's name at all, how can a girl have such a name.
Noticing that there were three pairs of eyes looking at her, Jing Yan also felt that she was a little rude, and hurriedly said, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have laughed." ā
Watermelon said indifferently: "It's okay, I was really angry when others laughed at my name before, and then I met a female friend named Ma Jianguo, and I think my name is okay." ā
"Sister, how did you and Tong Yan meet? Is it a pen pal? This is the most reliable possibility that Jing Yan thinks, otherwise how can you explain that the two are so familiar but have never seen each other.
Watermelon glanced at Tong Yan: "You didn't sue her?" ā
"No, where to start." Tong Yan shrugged.
Watermelon looked at the little girl in the back: "I'm not his pen pal, I'm his editor." ā
"Edit? What do you mean? Jing Yan was a little confused.
"An editor is an editor, an editor of a literary website."
Luo Xiaoxu added on the side: "Actually, Tong Yan is an online writer who has written two novels, which is very famous on the Internet, and Sister Watermelon is his responsible editor, which can be regarded as assisting him in his work." ā
"Huh?!" Jing Yan's mouth is open, she has always been worried that Lin Peiyuan has stolen the limelight of this year's new concept, but she didn't expect to meet such an incredible opponent on the road casually, it seems that Han Sai also published "Triple Gate" after participating in the new concept award, this Tong Yan is so powerful, why have I never heard of his relevant reports before, he has such a high achievement at such an age, it should be known to the whole country.
"What books have you written?" Jing Yan asked, she knows a lot of people who have published articles in journals and newspapers, but she has never seen anyone who has published a book, only such people are qualified to be called writers.
Luo Xiaoxu handed Tong Yan's mp4 to Jing Yan, "Well, this "Rage Thunder" was written by Tong Yan, it's pretty good." "Although Luo Xiaoxu prefers pure literary things, but this novel is written by Tong Yan, and it is stored in mp4, he looked at it when he was idle and bored, not to mention, it's pretty good.
Jing Yan took the mp4, and she didn't quite understand why Tong Yan's novels were packed in mp4, as she had never been exposed to online literature.
Watermelon touched the bottom of the car seat at this time, "Eh, look at this, this looks comfortable." She actually took out a few simplified copies of "Raging Thunder" from under her seat.
"Sister Gua, did you still buy my book?"
"I didn't buy it, I bought it at 314," Watermelon explained, "I bought it at home." ā
Jing Yan took it. I saw that there were three thick novels with cool covers, the name was "Rage Thunder", which were 1, 2, and 3 volumes, and the author's name was Tong Yan Wuji, and at first glance, I knew that it was Tong Yan's pen name, so powerful. There are so many books that have been published, and it turns out that this guy who doesn't seem to be arrogant at all is the person with the most proud capital.
By the way, what is the number 314 they just said, is it a person? 315's brother? Jing Yan shook her head and began to roughly flip through the three books.
The car drove all the way, and when they arrived at the Tai'an Hotel, it was already past five o'clock, and the watermelon followed the three of them in. This is a very ordinary hotel, not high-end. It's not a defeat, it is estimated that it is not a problem to accept more than 100 people, because Group C players do not need to rematch, so only more than 100 people participated.
There are staff in the hall who specialize in receiving the contestants, and at this time Tong Yan and they can already see a lot of contestants, basically all of them are of their age, and there are not many who are accompanied by their parents, almost all of them are young and young.
With their rematch notice. The three of them went through the formalities and got a plastic card. Hang it around your neck, and use this brand as a certificate for eating, exams, and sleeping in the future.
Of course, Tong Yan and Luo Xiaoxu were assigned to a room, Jing Yan and another second-year high school girl in Zhejiang's Jiang were assigned to the same room, and the exam process was also sent to them, and they could choose to rest or move freely tomorrow morning, and the exam would start at noon. The day after tomorrow, we will have a day off and play, and the fourth day will be the award ceremony, and after the awards, we will talk to the representatives of each university about the extra points and independent enrollment, of course, this matter is generally only related to the first prize winner.
"Xiaoxu. I'll take you to play! Tong Yan pointed outside, Sister Gua was still waiting for him below, and said that after Tong Yan came to the magic capital, Sister Gua would invite him to dinner.
Luo Xiaoxu's head shook like a rattle, "Don't don't, I want to lie down and rest for a while now, I don't want to go anywhere, you and Sister Gua can go by yourself." ā
Luo Xiaoxu's words were not polite, although there were beds on the train, but he had never fallen asleep peacefully, and he was already tired at this time, and he couldn't even be interested in dinner.
"Alright then, I'll bring you something back in the evening."
Tong Yan originally wanted to call Jingyan, but Luo Xiaoxu didn't come, and it would be a bit weird to call Jingyan again, so he would just go by himself.
"Why didn't those two of your classmates come together?"
"No, I'm not trying to save you money." Tong Yan said with a smile.
"What saves me money, isn't it your treat? I took a half-day off to pick you up, shouldn't I thank me? ā
Tong Yan said generously: "You have a treat, I will pay for it, how about it?" ā
Watermelon patted Tong Yan on the shoulder: "It's really good enough, it's not in vain that my sister will help you win the platinum contract." ā
"Ah, the platinum contract is done?" Tong Yan's eyes lit up.
Watermelon said proudly, "Just now, a staff member asked me if I was in Group A or Group B, do you think I look that like a middle school student?" ā
"If you change into a school uniform and go directly to the college entrance examination, no one will check your ID card." Tong Yanzui said sweetly.
"If you really know how to talk, let's get in the car first, and we'll talk in detail when we get to the place."
The magic capital is one of the two largest cities in China with the same name as the capital, they are pregnant with different customs and customs, the magic capital is called Shang'hai, because it is more harmonious, we still call it a nickname, and the Oriental magic capital sounds quite emotional.
It's a very modern city, and the capital is at least a little bit ancient, it's a complete world of skyscrapers, and the towering Oriental Pearl is now starting to shine.
Sister Gua found an Italian restaurant, Tong Yan This is the first time to eat foreign food, (this book is set: KFC McDonald's is not a foreign food), the first feeling is fresh, the second feeling is just like that, and the last feeling is really damn expensive!
While the two were eating, Sister Gua said: "This time, the company has decided to increase the number of platinum writers by five more, and all five of you are among the invitations to the annual meeting in March, and you will sign the contracts while attending the annual meeting." ā
"Who else?" Tong Yan was first curious about this.
Watermelon snapped his fingers and counted: "You one, as well as Jingguan, Fang Xiang, I eat tomatoes, and Angel Oscar, a total of five." ā
"Jingguan, this guy has finally become platinum," Tong Yan sighed with emotion, and asked again, "What is the difference between the platinum contract and the ordinary contract?" ā
"The proportion will be higher for you, The www.biquge.info of Biqu Ge will also give you more recommended positions, there are minimum restrictions, and there is also a minimum income, if the annual income is lower than a certain number, the website will subsidize you, by the way, you can also choose the way to buy out, generally will be bought out at a premium, the income should be more stable than the ratio, even if the grades are poor, you can have a good income, but the restrictions on platinum writers will be more, for example, you must write a book www.biquge.info Biquge within five years, and the number of words and parts is stipulated, and some copyrights must also be developed by the company first. ā
"Of course, the specific contract details have not yet been drawn up, this can be negotiated between you and the company at that time, everyone's contract will not be exactly the same, and you can also refuse to sign this contract and keep all the copyright in your own hands."
Today's online writers don't pay much attention to derivative copyrights, because there is no market for game adaptation rights at this time, but Shanda attaches great importance to this piece, so it is necessary to hold the adaptation rights of those great god writers in their hands, Tong Yan vaguely feels that copyright is very important, and the cost of game adaptation is likely to reach sky-high prices, but at this time he does not have much capital to refuse, so he said: "If it is not too much, I will sign it." ā
Watermelon sucked a mouthful of hollow powder, "I will also build yƬ for you to sign, so that when your novel is published in the future, a few big characters will be added in front of it, and the platinum writer www.biquge.info Biquge is quite able to bluff people." ā
"Sister Gua, where are you from?" Tong Yan asked suddenly.
"Northeast, what's wrong?"
Sister Gua was a lady for a long time, and finally exposed, Tong Yan always thought she was a Jiangnan woman.
"Oh, by the way, there's another big thing, I have to inform you," Sister Gua put away her big ballast accent and said solemnly, "Have you landed on the Biqu Pavilion www.biquge.info during the day today?" ā
"No, it's just a little bit of an update at zero o'clock, and I haven't touched the computer during the day."
"Oh, then you better take a look, and then you should finish the exam on the 8th, and I'll pick you up and go to the Demon Capital Book City at that time."
"What are you doing in the Demon Capital Book City?"
"The signing party, you go back and take a closer look, you need to participate anyway."
The New Concept Essay Contest is divided into the preliminary round and the semi-final, the preliminary round is to write an essay at home, the stylistic theme is not limited, and the semi-final is going to come to the magic capital to participate in the on-site exam, and it must be completed under the limited topic.
If the score in the preliminary round is very high and the score in the semi-final is very low, the judges will have to review it to see if there is a problem with cheating ghostwriting. It is not uncommon for the preliminary essays to be ghostwritten, and many of them have appeared in the semi-finals. In order to ensure that the semi-final questions are not revealed, it is usually necessary to select several questions in advance, and then select the final questions at the moment before the competition.
In the previous New Concept Essay Contest, in addition to professors from major universities, there are also many well-known writers as judges. Wang Meng, Su Tong, Yu Hua and others have all served as judges, and Ye Zhaoyan and Fang Fang have insisted on it from the first session to the present, and their existence has increased the authority of the competition.
It is the night before the competition, Mr. Zhao Changtian, as the editor-in-chief of "Sprout" magazine and the founder of the New Concept Essay Contest, and the judges of the semi-final selected 10 essay topics from many topics, and they are waiting to choose two out of ten random tomorrow.
Zhao Changtian glanced at the 10 questions, some were very simple, just two words, "Han Han", some were more procrastinating, telling a small story, asking the contestants to write an article based on the story, and one was more literary, called "The journey from here is the farthest"...... (To be continued......)
ps: [ps: The thinking is not going well these days, there is only one change today, but the amount is relatively large, which is equivalent to two chapters ~ forgive me ~] R1292
