After the break, the recording resumes.

In these more than ten minutes, the chief director came up with a good idea. He decided to save the second part of the question session for the final round of scoring. In this case...... Even if something unexpected happens at that time, it doesn't matter, at most, this link will be cut out along with Oscar's previous half of the sentence.

"Well, thank you for your wonderful answers." Oscar followed up on the previous content and began to speak, "After this time, our expert jury has also come to a conclusion. Now, we've added up the scores of the contestants in the first round of 'Writing Chapters' and the second round of 'Stroke of Genius' and listed the rankings. Everybody...... Look at the big screen. ”

Oscar said, pointing his arm to the large screen on the side of the stage, and the lens of the main camera moved over.

On the screen, from top to bottom, the pen names of seven writers are displayed, and in front of each person's pen name, there is an Arabic numeral circled in a circle. Its specific contents are as follows: 1 Night Fire, 2 Bandit Generals, 3 Chainsaw Roses, 4 Soda, 5 Reform Spring Breeze Blowing the Earth, 6 Yamu Tea, 7 Unaware.

"Hmm...... It's done, isn't it......" Feng Bujue said in his heart, "In the first round of rankings, the first, second, fifth, and sixth places are hidden, and this second round has added the background operation of the review, so ...... It doesn't really matter how many votes the audience votes. Presumably, during this period of time, the relevant votes and percentages have been cleaned, so the ranking ...... is confident."

"That's it for the rankings of the players in the repechage so far. Is that exactly what you suspected......" Oscar said into the camera. "Of course, that's not the final ranking. Because ......"

At this point, the lights on the stage suddenly dimmed, and a pillar of light fell from the sky. The focus is on Oscar.

“…… We have the final round of the final battle. Oscar continued the first half of the sentence, raised his hand to the camera and pointed, "The third round - the finishing touch!" ”

Oscar then read the rules of the third round.

Just like the last time Jue Ge came to the competition, the rules for the finishing touches have not changed. The program team would send each writer a random (not necessarily random) envelope with a stack of A4 paper inside. These pieces of paper are printed in a miniature, unfinished article of about 100,000 words. In addition, there is a general outline of the existing plot summarized by the editorial team, including characters, settings, general plot, etc. The writers had a total of 90 minutes. Read the outline and the main text, and write an ending to the book.

The basic idea of this round is ...... Thoroughly understand the general outline, and then go through the text to familiarize yourself with the original author's style. Later, this style is imitated, and the last chapter of the existing one is followed by a final chapter that is reasonable.

In all fairness, this is indeed the hardest round. The previous "writing into a chapter" test was writing; "Stroke of God" is a test of creativity; And this third round ...... It's much more than just those two skills.

In a limited amount of time, the key for writers to read, understand, think, write, fast, and be good is...... The style of writing should be similar to that of the original author.

Finishing someone's article is perhaps the most difficult thing, not to mention the extreme example of Dream of Red Mansions...... It's just a mediocre essay. If the creativity is average, who is confident that it can be properly continued? The original author can't write it anymore, so if you write it, you have to write it without a trace, as if it were the original, it's more difficult than climbing to the sky.

So. We should be tolerant of such works.

Well...... It seems to be far away.

Straight to the point......

“…… The scoring criteria will be the same as before. The finishing touch will account for 40% of the total score, while the previous two rounds add up to 60%......" Oscar finished talking about the rules, and then explained the scoring criteria, "In this round, the audience and friends on the scene can still only vote for the first choice, not the second vote. Our expert judging panel. Naturally, they will also participate in this round of judging. Their opinion will be one-third of the weight, and the remaining two-thirds will ......," he said solemnly, facing the audience, "it will depend on your choice......

Then. Oscar said another routine line, which he will say in almost every episode of the show, such as the evaluation criteria of the judges, their professionalism, and the hard work they have put into compiling the general outline of these books, and the audience also responded with applause.

While the nagging was going on, several staff members came up to the stage under the cover of darkness and handed over seven envelopes to the seven writers.

After a few minutes, Oscar had said what to say and finally announced, "OK...... Presumably, you are also in a hurry, and I will no longer be verbose, and the third round will be the finishing touch...... Now ......" he habitually paused for another two seconds before he said, "Begin!" ”

As soon as the voice ended, a countdown appeared on the big screen, with a duration of 89:59; At the same time, on the voting screen in front of the audience, an operable window appeared, in which you can view which of the seven contestants were drawn and the corresponding outline.

This is a new policy implemented by the program team in previous episodes...... Because many viewers reacted that the one-and-a-half-hour wait was too long, and it felt like there was nothing to do. In previous shows, the titles of the seven writers were scrolled through on the big screen, but this proved to be ineffective. So...... It was changed to the way it is now. The audience was able to freely skim through the ones and flip through the outline for the 90 minutes. Synchronize with the writers' information, and also kill the boredom.

…………

Ten minutes after the start of the third round, backstage, the lounge of the "family and friends group" was closed.

Due to the filming needs of the show, the contestants must be in a special lounge for filming and interviews alone, so the program has arranged a rest room for each contestant's entourage (assistants, bodyguards, drivers, relatives and friends, etc.).

Knock knock - Feng Bujue knocked on the door twice.

No one in the room answered, but someone opened the door directly.

"Why don't you play well, why are you sneaking out?" An Yueqin didn't seem to have opened the door yet, and she knew that the person outside the door was Brother Jue. Opening your mouth is a rebuke.

"What's the hurry...... I'll just go back in the last twenty minutes. Feng Bujue shrugged and replied.

"I knew you were messing around like this all over the audience...... Li Ruoyu's voice came from behind An Yueqin, "...... I'm not coming. ”

In the lounge of the unaware group of relatives and friends, there were a total of these two people. Ruoyu used "I decided to return your personal favor" as a reason, and drove Brother Jue to the TV station. After that, he didn't leave. And An Yueqin is on official business, after all, she is the editor of Brother Jue, and after reading Feng Bujue's last table, she doesn't come here to sit down, it always feels bad......

Previously, the two of them had been watching the scene on the time-controlled TV in the lounge, and just now Brother Jue left his seat and walked backstage. Naturally, they saw it.

"Hey...... Don't go back alone. Feng Bujue tilted his head, and said to Ruoyu on the sofa across An Yueqin, "Today you suddenly drove over to pick me up, and I was in a hurry to go out, and I didn't bring my transportation card and wallet." ”

"Is now the time to worry about this?" An Yueqin also tilted her head, blocking Brother Jue's sight, "You are also a guest writer of our magazine, this episode of the program is like this, have you considered the chain reaction that will be caused later?" ”

Feng Bujue didn't reply directly, he first looked left and right to confirm that he was not followed by the camera brother. Then he turned sideways into the house and closed the door...... Finally, he lowered his voice and replied, "What are you yelling about...... I know it. ”

"What do you count?" An Yueqin said in a slightly angry tone, "You think I don't know? You've seen through the Nightfire in advance that you've already made a decision, so you want to fix him, right? As she spoke, she returned to the couch. Sit down side by side with Ruoyu.

"Hah! Am I such a boring person? Feng Bujue spread out his hands and replied with an innocent face.

"Of course it's like that." The two on the couch answered in unison.

"Hmm...... Two girls...... I have only known each other for a few hours, but I didn't expect that I had already colluded, and I made a strange expression in response to my ......" Feng Bujue made a strange expression and took half a step back.

Ruoyu held up her phone: "We have exchanged email addresses......"

An Yueqin also raised her mobile phone: "And some information about you......"

The expressions of the two of them were very calm, but their momentum was like a deep mountain, and their intentions were also full of ups and downs, which made Feng Bujue instantly have a very ominous premonition......

"Hmm...... As long as you let me live, we are still good friends......" Brother Jue replied sternly.

"Alas, okay, stop talking about it. I know you must have something in mind. Ruoyu sighed, "But you'd better not take it off." ”

"When the show is finished, if you can't save your image and popularity." An Yueqin also continued, "Then I can't help you." You wash your neck and wait for our editor-in-chief and higher-ranking leaders to come to you. ”

"Ah...... Don't worry......" Feng Buyi came to the other side of the room and sat down on the sofa, and looked at the TV screen on the wall, "I will give everyone a satisfactory answer......"

…………

When there were only twenty minutes left for the creation of the "finishing touch", Feng Bujue came back from the lounge leisurely.

During this time, he basically spent his time playing with his mobile phone and chatting. And everyone else is desperately reading and writing. Let's be honest...... Everyone in the audience has long given up the idea of letting him cooperate with the recording. So when he greeted the director before and said that he was going backstage to rest for a while, Feiran didn't stop him at all......

"Yo, Oscar, the audience interaction has been recorded." After Feng returned to the stage, he still didn't sit back in his seat, but ran to the side of the stage, almost touching up Oscar's makeup.

"yes, even the advertising words and a few later monologues have been recorded." Under the fiddling of a stylist, Oscar sat still and didn't dare to move, and he had to see stitches when he wanted to drink saliva, "Huh? Where have you been? ”

"I've been chatting with two friends for a while, so let's take a break." "It's too hot on the stage, the lights are baking ......," he stepped forward and looked at Oscar up close...... Just the makeup on your face, you can be used as a mask after being baked by the lamp for a while, right? ”

"Not really...... Oscar replied, "Hi...... Who told us to do this? He paused, "That's right." Don't you know...... Even if you don't care much about the result, but you're ...... Not very well......" his expression changed slightly, "the last time you came, you said 'I don't like that book'. You didn't write a word in the third round, and this time you didn't even ...... it."

"I've seen it." Feng Bujue interrupted, "Don't look at it again." ”

"Huh?" Oscar was stunned when he heard this.

Feng Bujue immediately smiled and explained, "Heh...... That's it, the one I got that I read a long time ago. An hour ago, I took ten minutes of my time. The general outline of Tong guò recalled the entire book and conceived a final chapter. He shrugged, "I estimate that I can finish this chapter in fifteen minutes." So...... I decided to go backstage to take a breath and sort out my thoughts, and then come back and write it down. ”

"Ha......" Oscar laughed, "It's really like your style." ”

"In the eyes of people who don't understand, it will become a very arrogant behavior......" Feng Bujue said.

"Of course, who knows what you're doing?" Oscar replied.

"Oh, yes. I'm here to ask you for something. Feng Bujue said at this time, "Wait a minute, after the process is recorded here, can you record that 'voiceover interview' for me first?" He paused for a second and added, "Because I want to go back sooner." ”

"Oh ~ little things." Oscar said, "I'll just say hello to the director in a moment." ”

"That's good. Thank you. Feng Bujue said politely, "Then I'll go back to my seat." ”

"Hurry up, be careful." Oscar said.

Brother Jue smiled and turned to go.

Oscar looked at his back and said in his heart: one moment aggressive, one moment pleasant...... I can't guess you......

…………

"Welcome back, I'm a writer - Resurrection Night!" After the countdown was over, Oscar came to the stage again and performed hard in front of the camera, "Without further ado, let's usher in the finishing touch!" ”

He quickly made his way to the number one position. He continued: "As is customary, we will start with the number one......"

After that, the publication process was carried out in a step-by-step manner. The chapters written by the contestants appeared on the big screen one by one, along with a general outline of the works to be written.

Oscar gags along the way, and by the way, he is full of praise. He was indeed a good hand at stirring up the atmosphere of the scene. In the high-tide part of the show, there is hardly a minute of cold scenes.

And the articles written by the writers are indeed of a very high standard. Of course...... Compared to the level of that issue, it is still a little worse. After all, this is a repechage match, and in terms of the strength of the writer, it can't be compared with the lineup of the gods gathered in that issue.

After about twenty minutes, Oscar finally arrived in front of the unaware No. 6 player......

"So...... Let's take a look at the table xiàn in this round. When Oscar said this, what Jue Ge had written in fifteen minutes had already appeared on the big screen.

[Our protagonist died like this......]

This is the first sentence of the final chapter that Feng unconsciously wrote.

Many people immediately want to scold the street after seeing this sentence, because it is difficult for them to imagine what the rest of the chapter is about......

But in fact...... It's not Brother Jue's fault. The book he continued to write is essentially an unfinished work, and the original author did write the protagonist to death in the previous chapter. Although the author's writing is good, and the process of the protagonist's death is quite tragic and touching, it cannot hide the essence of "sudden death". Because he finished writing the part where the protagonist died, he abruptly ended the chapter, and then stopped writing.

I have to say...... The envelope that I didn't know was "random" was really rare and terrible. The others drew either tepid plots and halfway developed; Either the setting is so large that the original author can't control it after writing it for a while; He is the only one...... The author's eunuch did not forget to make up for the protagonist before. Strictly speaking, this is no longer a eunuch, it is a half-rotten and half-eunuch discontinued text......

However, Feng Bujue still succeeded in continuing a decent chapter within twenty minutes.

[As the protagonist of a book, he is really pathetic, and even makes people want to laugh a little. He still has a lot of things to do, a lot of ideals that have not been realized, but he died without a problem......]

When they saw this, the audience was still holding a skeptical attitude and couldn't guess what was going on.

But this ...... Maybe it was his fate.

Along the way, he brought us a lot of laughter and tears, his successes made us happy, and his failures made us sympathize. His courage makes us admire, and his cowardice makes us introspect.

He struggled with pain and grew up in adversity; He swayed like a clown, like a sick man, thought like a saint, and was greedy like a beast. He is noble and unworthy, wise and stupid, single-minded and amorous...... He lives like a paradoxical madman, just to make us laugh.

And peel back those appearances and look at the ...... He is just a man, a man who lives in the world of our imagination. The meaning of his existence is only for our temporary amusement. One day, we will forget him, just as we have forgotten so many other characters.

Death is not his end, his end is no different from the other protagonists...... It is forgotten. 】

At this point in the text, a paragraph dividing line appears.

Do you know salmon? When they were still eggs, humans and some large birds turned them into belly meals.

And those who survived were drifting and growing in the currents......

When they reach maturity, they migrate upstream, trekking thousands of kilometres back to the waters where they were born.

They cross waterfalls, dikes, jump and forge ahead in the countercurrent. Escape the claws of predators and travel through endless countercurrents. Scarred, but courageous.

After going through many difficulties, they finally came to the calm surface of the lake, to the place where their mothers lay their eggs. Then use the last of their energy to give birth to offspring, ending their lives. It was a short, arduous life.

Their carcasses become food for other animals, and their remains become nutrients for trees. And their offspring...... will follow in the footsteps of his father's migratory generation and return to complete the mission of this life. They know that the end result will be death, but they still follow the process.

Like the countless protagonists, they come and go, staging scenes of ups and downs and wonderful dramas in front of us, but in the end, they will still be like salmon. In just a few years...... and walked through this short life.

For them, the days before our eyes are all.

The death of the characters is not the end, the end of the story is their rest.

Therefore, although our protagonist still has a lot of things to do and many ideals to be realized, as long as we still remember him and remember the feelings he once brought us, he has not lived in vain. Even in the face of death, he will die without hesitation and without regrets. 】RO
