Gongs and drums are noisy, firecrackers are ringing, red flags are displayed, and people are crowded! This is the opening ceremony of the first online essay contest designed by Qian Ling. Since it is an online essay contest, of course, it is held on the Internet. All interested parties can watch it online online.

In later generations, various conferences and competitions held on the Internet have long been commonplace. But today, there is no real venue, and it is the first time in China that the competition is purely online. Invisibly, Su Jinyou broke a record.

Of course, it is unexpected and reasonable. Since it is an online essay contest, where can it be held if it is not held online? Su Jin believes that pure interest cannot create high-quality works, on the contrary, under the heavy reward, there must be brave men!

So his setting of the prize money is definitely an astronomical amount in this day and age! One first prize, 30,000 yuan! Two second prizes, 10,000 yuan! Three third prizes, 2,000 prizes!

In this period when the monthly income of ordinary civil servants is more than 300 yuan, and the annual income of ordinary citizens does not exceed 5,000 yuan, this bonus will blind everyone's titanium dog eyes as soon as it comes out!

Is Su Jin short of money? To be precise, missing! The network enterprise is an enterprise that needs high investment, especially in this period, all the websites are not profitable, and they all rely on the boss to pay out, and Su Jin is even more lacking.

But what Su Jin lacks is a lot of money, two books plus an Internet café and some scattered income, bringing Su Jin nearly five million soft sister coins! This money is of course a drop in the bucket compared to the investment of tens of millions of dollars in network enterprises, but it is a drizzle for the bonus of tens of thousands of yuan.

There is a reward for paying! It is the stupidest way to put money in your hands and eat interest, and Su Jin believes that his efforts will definitely bring a hundredfold and a thousandfold gain.

Of course, although Su Jin was ready, the money was not let out by Su Jin in the end. The arrogant fat always generously took out a check of 100,000 yuan as the sponsorship fee for this event.

Of course, Mr. Fat also got the limited publishing rights of advertising space in a prominent position on the contest webpage and all award-winning works. In addition to Wang Xing, the judges of this competition also include Li Bing, Mr. Fat and Su Jin himself!

The four have different votes and can vote on controversial works. Wang Xing and Su Jin each have two votes. Fat Zong and Li Bing each have one vote.

Wang Xing was invited as a judge of the contest to strengthen the public recognition of the online essay contest on the one hand, and to reduce the pressure from traditional literature on the other hand. However, as a representative of traditional literature, he may be different from others in terms of value orientation. If Wang Xing only has one vote, I am afraid that he will be completely suppressed by Mr. Fat and Li Bing, and Su Jin can't let the judges he invited with all his might become an ornament. At the critical moment, Su Jin could use his support to save some face for Wang Xing.

As the current guide of online literature, Su Jin's professionalism in his understanding of online literature will not doubt whether it is Wang Xing, Mr. Fat, or Li Bing. Let him have two votes so that he can get the bearing.

And online articles are online articles, and generally speaking, they are still biased towards commercialization. And Mr. Fat's judgment on whether a book is valuable in terms of publication is definitely an expert level. As the sales director of the largest cultural website, Li Bing also has the best appraisal level in China for whether an online article can be welcomed by many Internet readers.

It can be said that a book, as long as it can be recognized by the two of them, even if it does not reach the level of a bestseller, at least it will not lose money. Compared with Wang Xing, it is more troublesome, he thinks more about the literary nature of a book, and his attention to commercialization is far less professional than that of the other two. Even as a traditional cultural person, he is still vaguely repulsed by the way books are profitable. In this case, Su Jin could already foresee how sharp the differences between the three would be.

If Wang Xing only has one vote, I am afraid that he will be completely suppressed by the two of them, and Su Jin can't let the judges he invited with all his might become an ornament. At the critical moment, Su Jin could use his support to save some face for Wang Xing.

"This is the work that has been preliminarily selected, there are a total of 20 books, three books of about 200,000 words, and seven books of about 60,000 or 70,000 words. The rest are around thirty or forty thousand words. Qian Ling listed all the works that had been selected on the screen.

As with many similar competitions, the kung fu is all behind the scenes, and the results are just announced on the spot. In order to ensure the fairness of this competition, to be fair, just and open, Su Jin decided to publish all the entries on the Internet and let netizens watch them at will. The works that have been selected are also marked.

The primary selection works were voted by netizens first, and ten were selected. After that, Su Jin organized manpower to select ten of the remaining works. This respects the reader's request and ensures that there are not too many works left out because the reader doesn't pay attention.

So far, the primary election stage has ended, and Su Jin is generally satisfied. Glancing at the catalog of the primary works, he was pleasantly surprised to find that some of the works that swept the world in later generations were actually released!

Looking at the names that once made him fanatical, Su Jin's mood quickly changed from surprise to ecstasy. involuntarily, the same mood as Li Shimin emerged: "The heroes of the world are all under my control." ”

Now that the preliminary entries have been decided, the next step is the specific review stage. However, the total of the 20 books is nearly 1.5 million words, and if you want to read it to the end, especially if you want to read it intensively, it is obviously not a small project to make a review. Fortunately, there are still five days before the final announcement date, which can fully meet the requirements of several judges.

Time passed as several judges read and discussed. Su Jin felt as if his head was about to explode. Compared to the other judges, he not only had to read the selected books, but also write his own "Hui Ming" every day. He now feels like he has a split personality, and he is constantly integrating himself into different lives every day. He finally felt that reading a classic was enjoyable, but it would be torture to read several classics at the same time.

Fortunately, the time is only a few days, and the four days will pass quickly, and tomorrow will be the date of the announcement. Unfortunately, several judges still debated the ranking of the works. Choosing the top six out of twenty novels is still a good decision, and even the top three are easy to judge. "Farewell to Vivian", "Love Lost Between the Internet and Reality", and "Triple Gate" These are the top three in this online competition! What really makes people struggle is the specific evaluation of the top three.

It's not just about rankings, it's about recognition, influence, and specific bonuses. The difference between the first and second place prizes is exactly 20,000 yuan! In this era, it is definitely not a small amount, which is equivalent to two years' income of ordinary people.

Wang Xing chose "Love Lost Between the Internet and Reality" as the first place, Fat Zong chose "Triple Gate" as the first place, and Li Bing chose "Farewell to Vivian" as the first place.

The three of them insisted on their own words, and the original votes lost their meaning. Now it can only depend on Su Jin's choice, no matter which one he chooses, which one can give him an advantage.

In fact, not only the three of them, but even Su Jin was a little undecided. He was familiar with all three books, and they could all be included in the bestseller list in later generations. But if you talk about one, it deserves to be the first place in this competition. But if it comes at the same time, it's a bit difficult to decide.
