Chapter 41: Winning a prize
41
The president looked around and concluded: "Through my reading and analysis of these fifty works, I think that the works that are very in line with the value orientation just mentioned, a total of five, they are, "September", "Secret of the Mountains", "Bright Sword", "1945" and "Pigeon", among these five works, "Bright Sword" is the most, "Bright Sword" This work, whether it is language, story, or value orientation, is undoubtedly the best, so I personally think that This work should be the best work of this year's essay contest.
But the most commendable thing is that the author of "Bright Sword" turned out to be a hero who stopped the bank robbery, whether it is his work or the author's own personality, it is very much in line with the value requirements of our essay contest. β
After a pause, the president took a sip of water, moistened his throat, smiled and said: "Of course, starting from the interests of our magazine, I am also more inclined to Comrade Chen Beiming to win the award, you may not know it, since the publication of Comrade Chen Beiming's "Bright Sword", the sales volume of our magazine has increased by 20 percent, and what is even more gratifying is that because the work of "Bright Sword" just meets the demands of the military, many troops have called us and booked the next issue and several consecutive issues of the magazine, there is no doubt about itAs long as we work a little harder, it is definitely no longer a dream for "October" to break five million, if our sales can really break the five million mark, everyone...... When the time comes, everyone's manuscript fee will ......"
The president stopped in moderation and didn't explain it thoroughly, but everyone already understood a lot of things.
The judges here are actually more or less related to "October", and some are even direct contributing writers, and the first consideration for a work is to publish it in this magazine, and everyone's manuscript fee, in addition to the basic manuscript fee - that is, how much is a thousand words, there is also a share, this score is completely related to the sales of the magazine, so there is no doubt that if you can seize this opportunity to break through the magazine's sales to 5 million in one fell swoop, then .......
Thinking of this, two-thirds of the judges present had hot eyes.
"Okay, I've finished what I want to say, and everyone is free to speak for the next time." The president said with a smile.
"Then let me say a few words." Ma Youwei's teacher continued: "The president's speech just now, I actually agree very much, although our "October" is only a popular literary journal, but we also have to have a certain pursuit, so at any time, we must consider the social impact of the work, obviously, the social influence of the work "Bright Sword" is the largest, since his inception, whether it is ordinary people or soldiers, they are deeply attracted by the role of Li Yunlong, however, one thing I am most concerned about is that the military newspaper has published five or six articles in a row about " I have contacted the editors of the military newspaper before, and according to their feedback, these comments and the work "Bright Sword" have really set off a reading trend in the army. β
When the other judges heard this, they all suddenly realized that "October" magazine seemed to be determined to hold "Bright Sword", so everyone's speeches were quickly adjusted.
"I'll say a little bit about it." Another judge said: "We have always said that our popular literature is actually literature, and we should also talk about artistry, but what is artistry, I think many writers' understanding may be biased!"
In the case of language, does it have to be crafted? It must be full of flowery rhetoric, which is called beautiful language?
I can't see it, for example, in "Bright Sword", he doesn't have so many luxurious words, but the whole article gives people a pleasing feeling when read and reads very smoothly.
I have heard many readers say that when reading "Bright Sword", there will be a strange feeling, obviously the language of this novel seems to be very simple, but why can't I stop reading it, I think that the language of literary works cannot be modified for the sake of embellishment, we should learn from "Bright Sword", the purpose of language is for the story. β
Soon, everyone expressed their opinions.
Seeing this, the president of "October" magazine secretly breathed a sigh of relief: It seems that there is no problem, and the fact that "Bright Sword" won the grand prize should be nine out of ten.
An hour later, the president knocked on the microphone: "Okay, since we've almost discussed it, let's move on to the competition." β
At six o'clock in the afternoon on this day, all the results were out.
Many writers are very concerned about this matter and inquire about it as soon as possible.
Li Mingyu also asked his assistant to investigate.
After a while, the assistant came back with a black face: "Mr. Li, the special prize was won by "Bright Sword". β
Li Mingyu was stunned for a moment, but quickly came back to his senses, he shook his head and sighed: "That's true." β
"Teacher Li, they are too dark, I'll go to them for evaluation now......" The assistant was annoyed and angry, and turned around and wanted to rush out.
Li Mingyu grabbed the other party: "Why bother! If you go to make trouble, you're just bringing humiliation on yourself! β
"ButβMr. Liβthis grand prize should have been our ......"
Li Mingyu shook his head: "People are not as good as heaven!" I originally thought that Chen Beiming was a fledgling, and he couldn't compare with me Li Mingyu in terms of popularity or connections, but where did I know that there was that robbery, hehe..... God won't help me! β
Capital City, somewhere.
A young man in his early twenties rushed in excitedly: "Good news, good news, "Bright Sword" has won the award, the grand prize!" "Bright Sword" really won the grand prize! β
"Really?" Several people present were stunned when they heard this, and after a while, everyone stood up together and waved their fists to celebrate.
"Good! It's just great! β
"Well, I'm right, I said a long time ago, this grand prize will definitely go to "Bright Sword"!"
Everyone is getting more and more excited.
However, someone next to him was very depressed.
"What? "Bright Sword" won the grand prize? How is this possible! β
"The grand prize should be our teacher Li Mingyu!"
"Why did "Bright Sword" win the special prize, which point is he comparable to "Dark Night"!"
Several readers also became more and more excited and louder as they spoke.
When the readers of "Bright Sword" heard this, they were not happy, and someone stood up and asked, "Hey, what are you talking about?" "Bright Sword" can't compare to Li Mingyu's "Dark Night"! β
"It's not comparable! What's so good about "Bright Sword", what is new in a novel about fighting devils, such a work has long been rotten on the street, where is our "Dark Night"! β
"Yes, in my opinion, 'Bright Sword' is a dog. , I really don't know what those judges think, it's really blind to award him the grand prize! β
When the readers of "Bright Sword" heard this, they exploded: "How the are you talking!" There's a kind of you say again! β
"I just said, what's the matter, "Bright Sword" was originally-!"
"Fuck you!" The reader was furious, rushed over, and raised his hand with a punch.
Ping Pong.
The two groups suddenly fought for a while, and the scene was extremely chaotic for a while.
Ten minutes later, the police came.
The two groups of wounded men had to be separated.
"What's going on?" The policeman asked sternly.
"Comrade policeman, here's how it happened......" The reader of "Bright Sword" hurriedly told the story one by one.
"Comrade policeman, don't listen to him, where is "Bright Sword" as good as he said, "Bright Sword" is rubbish at all! The reason why they say that is to make trouble unreasonably and deliberately pick quarrels and provoke trouble! β
When the policeman heard this, he was not happy: "This comrade, what are you talking nonsense? "Bright Sword" is better than "Night", isn't that obvious? Where is this picking quarrels and provoking trouble? β
"Comrade policeman, not ......"
The reader of "The Night" opened his mouth, but in the end said nothing, could not speak.
Capital Military District Hospital.
Ma Youwei trotted in and said excitedly: "Xiaoshan, it's done!" β
"It's finished?" Chen Beiming was stunned.
"Well, it's done, the results have come out, the grand prize is yours, and Li Mingyu won the first prize." Ma Youwei replied excitedly.
In an instant, there was a ding dong, and in Chen Beiming's mind, a voice sounded, and after a closer look, sure enough, the system prompted that the task had been successfully completed.
Soon, the reward for completing the mission, 2,000 SysCoins, was also successfully received.
"I wonder what other rewards there are?" Chen Beiming was overjoyed and hurriedly lowered his head to check.
"What? The system has increased my speed by a point, and now I can run 11 seconds in the 100 meters? β
Chen Beiming looked at it and was immediately pleasantly surprised.
Speed has always been his weak point, but he didn't expect to improve so much, and it seems that he will have to work harder in the future.
In addition to the increase in speed, the wound on his left arm has also healed, but from the outside, the scar is still there, and it seems that the wound has not healed.
"How's it going, civet, did you lose?" Chen Bei looked at the civet cat proudly.
The civet cat pouted: "The blind cat just touched the dead mouse, what a smug!" β
"Regardless of whether he is a black cat or a white cat, and catches a mouse, he is a good cat, a civet, and he is willing to gamble and lose......"
As soon as Chen Beiming said this, the civet cat cried out: "Chen Beiming, have you made a mistake? When did I bet with you? I wanted to make a bet with you last time, but you didn't! You, no, answer, answer! β
"I didn't promise?" Chen Beiming was stunned.
"yes!"
"Oh - how can I be so stupid! It would have been nice if I had said yes at the time! Chen Beiming quickly pretended to cry and grab the ground.
When the civet cat heard this, sure enough, the mood that was extremely depressed just now suddenly became smug again: "Hehe, fortunately, I didn't agree at the time, otherwise it would be a big loss, Chen Beiming, I'll be depressed to death you, hahahahaββ"
