Yang Liu drank a cup of coffee and rubbed his temples.

I have been reading it for several hours in a row, and only half of the shortlisted books have been read.

He had an idea.

That is, to read 30 books in the shortest possible time.

In this way, after you have a general idea of these 30 books, you can pick out the works that you think are good, reread them carefully, and read them carefully.

Compare and contrast repeatedly to choose the best.

The qualification given by the Propaganda Department is not for anyone.

You have to be serious enough.

But on the other hand, if Mr. Yang Liu didn't have this meticulous spirit, he wouldn't have become a judge this time.

Yang Liu is a person who loves to read.

Every month, he buys some books, regardless of genre, and basically reads them.

In recent years, the best writer on the market is undoubtedly Qi Yuan.

Although he is still quite young, I heard that he looks like he is in his thirties.

But his work is just too good.

Science fiction, reasoning, alternate history, each is better than the other.

Qi Yuan's sci-fi masterpiece "The Three-Body Problem" is not mentioned much, and many of the physical terms in it are not very understandable.

The future development of human society alone, Qi Yuan's indifferent view of history, and his compassionate brushstrokes are all things that Yang Liu likes very much.

Not to mention the masterpiece of the "Five Thousand Years" series.

This book has a huge structure, complex characters, endless changes in the era, and even fairy-like poems and songs.

Yang Liu asked himself if he could read this book in his lifetime and live in the same era as its author.

It's just a blessing for three lives!

……

Forcing himself to rest his eyes for a few minutes, he opened "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", which attracted himself with the opening four lines of poetry.

At the beginning, it was the Jingkang Rebellion!

This...... This is the Jingkang Rebellion that took place in the Song Dynasty in the 5,000-year series!?

After briefly reading a few pages, Yang Liu was excited, and a pair of old hands were trembling!

This "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" was definitely written by Qi Yuan!

Next, Guo Xiaotian and his wife, Yang Tiexin and his wife appeared.

In this special era, they named their children Guo Jing Yang Kang.

You can forget everything, but you can't forget the hatred of the country!

"The book...... This book is different, and it is different from the dozen or so books I have read! National hatred and family hatred, such a big pattern is unprecedented! ”

The martial arts of Huaguo, even if it was Master Jin 200 years ago, the content cannot escape the love of the children of the rivers and lakes.

But at this moment, the book "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" in front of Yang Liu opened up a new world for him!

The content of this book is definitely an innovation for the current Chinese martial arts industry!

Because, the focus of this book is not swords, not life and death.

But!

National hatred and family hatred!

Here's the pattern!

It's an extraordinary big picture!

There is no doubt that the author of this book has jumped out of the martial arts style pioneered by Master Jin 200 years ago.

"The Legend of the Condor Heroes" has the author's own very unique style!

Yang Liu read books in addition to sleeping and eating, and by the afternoon of the next day, he finally finished reading "The Legend of the Condor Heroes".

Pretty.

It's really good-looking.

"Dad, you have too much time to read in the past two days, you must pay attention to rest!" The daughter stepped forward.

But Yang Liu shook his head firmly this time and said: "This is a very, very good book, if it weren't for the shortlisted works that I haven't read, I want to read it again now!" ”

"Is it so pretty?" Yang Liu's daughter is a university philosophy teacher.

She took "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" from Yang Liu's hand, sat on the sofa, and flipped through it.

Outcome.

She didn't move again for a night!

The book is so beautiful!

She's already caught up in it!

That's the charm of a good book!

Seeing that her daughter was deeply involved in the plot, Yang Liu didn't mean to wake her up.

Because he knows how attractive this book is!

And not just at the Yangliu family.

In the homes of the judges in Huaguo, they all saw "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", and the same phenomenon is happening everywhere.

And when the organizing committee of this essay collected the votes of all the judges, the final result was obtained.

Everyone was shocked to find that among the 30 shortlisted works, only one book was loved by all 73 judges.

That's "The Legend of the Condor Heroes"!

The people of the organizing committee, of course, know that this book is Qi Yuan's.

But everyone still didn't expect Qi Yuan's martial arts book to see this level!

I won all the judges' votes!

……

……

A few days later.

Star City Press.

Liao Yuan was drinking coffee.

The assistant pushed open the door and said, "Boss, martial arts essay, the winning work has been announced!" ”

The assistant put the laptop in front of Liao Yuan, and the screen was a section specially opened by the official website of the Propaganda Department for this martial arts essay.

Of the 30 shortlisted works, 27 of them have been announced.

At the same time, the number of votes received by these 27 works was announced, as well as a brief introduction to the book.

The highest fourth place received 35 votes.

"What does that mean?" Liao Yuan frowned.

The assistant said: "The Propaganda Department is still selling Guanzi!" Only 4 to 30 entries were announced, and these were all finalists. The top three winners will be announced tomorrow! ”

"Our Propaganda Department, don't learn anything, just learn these hot methods!" Liao Yuan sighed, then quickly took out his mobile phone and dialed the phone of Li Changyuan, the last martial arts master in Huaguo.

After the phone rang for more than ten seconds, Li Yuanyuan's voice rang on the other side.

Liao Yuan: "Li Lao, among the 30 shortlisted lists for martial arts essays, 27 of the unsuccessful ones have been announced!" ”

Li Changyuan: "I already know this. ”

Liao Yuan paused and tried to ask, "That'...... Do you have any of your works? ”

Li Changyuan: "No. ”

Liao Yuan: "Hahaha! I'll just say it! How can your work not be awarded!! ”

Li Changyuan: "My pen power seems to be still there." ”

Liao Yuan: "Look at what you said, who are you!" That one...... Can we publicize in advance that you have already won the award? ”

Although the specific ranking of the top three has not yet come out.

But the award for Li Changyuan's work itself has already been decided.

At most, the top three are in different order.

But with Li Changchang's level, in addition to being the first, can there be any other position?

Thinking on your toes, this is impossible!

On the other end of the phone, Li Changyuan was silent for a moment and nodded: "My work is called "The Second in the World". ”

Liao Yuan immediately understood: "Okay Old Li, we understand!" ”

On the Internet, melon-eating netizens who saw the list, especially martial arts lovers, were already excited.

"I'm really convinced! It's really appetizing! 30 finalists, did you release the ones that didn't win the award? ”

"Only 35 votes for fourth place? How many votes can you have for first place? In this essay competition, will the quality of the shortlisted works not be very high? So the judges can only be tall in the middle? ”

"Can you announce it soon? And why only publish the name of the work, but not the author's name? ”

"Hahaha, upstairs, the author's name was not announced, of course for the sake of the authors! Think about it, if one of these 27 works was written by Qi Yuan, but he was eliminated again and hung here naked, wouldn't it be a loss of face? ”

"You have a point!"

"But then again, Galaxy Publishing House hinted that Qi Yuan seems to have really participated in this martial arts essay?"

"Won't it?"

"Ahh Are you sure? Can Qi Yuan write a "Tang Swordsman Li Bai"? I'm sure I'm going to buy it out! ”

"Looking forward to tomorrow's list!"

Netizens are eating melons.

Writer "Stone" spoke on Weibo, she took a screenshot of the 23rd ranked in the martial arts essay, and wrote: "It's a big surprise to be shortlisted, and it's still very good to get 23rd place in the end, thank you for your support." ”

"Wow!? The stone beauty actually participated? ”

"You still write martial arts??"

"It's amazing! I heard that the entries this time have five figures, and this is one of the top 30 in the country! ”

"It's so great to change the theme! Our stones are so powerful! ”

After the stone, many more writers have claimed their works.

After all, this is a very big activity that the Propaganda Department has done on a national scale, and it can be said that it has attracted national attention.

Being able to be shortlisted is actually a very good result.

And there are also excited writers, who even put part of their works directly on the Internet to give excited readers a sneak peek.

Although in this essay competition, only the three award-winning books are eligible to be officially published by the Propaganda Department.

But it's not like other works can't be published.

As soon as the writers came out to claim them, the major publishing houses immediately contacted them.

These works, published from the origin of the shortlisted works of the 200th birthday essay contest of Master Hua Guojin, are still very eye-catching.

And at night.

The author of the fourth-ranked book "Kenshin" in this competition, "One Stroke Writing Heart", also spoke on Weibo: "Of the 73 judges, my work got 35 votes, which is proportionally speaking, that is, even half of the votes of the people did not get it. Actually, think about it, the judges of our competition are also quite interesting, I looked at the data, the average age of our judges is 57 years old. Many people have reached the age of retirement, and they still have to come out and read 30 books hard. Maybe in their eyes, most of them are bullshit, it's really hard! ”

"One stroke to write the heart" speaks, yin and yang weird.

Reading between the lines, they are saying that the judges are old and no longer suitable for the current style, and the votes are based on feelings.

In short, it means that my work is definitely not at the level of only 35 votes!

And after posting this blog post, he also directly released the full electronic version of "Kenshin"!

"One Stroke of Heart" is a best-selling Internet celebrity writer, and there are still a lot of small fans on Weibo.

His words immediately made netizens excited.

“？？？？ Brother, are you a little floating? ”

"I've wanted to say for a long time, the writers who were eliminated this time are actually more powerful than the other, the judges, are they all voting according to their feet?"

"Indeed, look at the stones, their works are very good!"

"I want to see, what kind of monsters are the top three? It's actually better than Kenshin? ”

"Woo woo, hug 'Write Heart', let's not play with them anymore, publish a physical book quickly, I will definitely buy it!"

"The top three, in the end, will not be announced! I've really taken it, I've never seen such an appetite! ”

Just when the readers of "One Stroke of Heart" were excited.

Huiguang Publishing House, one of the three major publishing houses in China, posted on Weibo: "@第五人, congratulations to the big guy for winning the special martial arts essay award for the 200th anniversary of the birth of Master Jin in China!" ”

"What's the situation? Isn't the list of winners still unannounced? ”

"What? What is this? ”

"The fifth person to win the award? Isn't the fifth person a reasoning boss? He also came to write martial arts? ”

"Hahaha, I'm afraid the fifth person didn't write a reasoning martial arts?"

"Hahaha, I understand, there are a total of 30 shortlisted works, and only three of the winners have not been announced, so the three writers who have not been announced, of course, know that they have won the award!"

"I see!"

"The fifth person!! Big guy awesome!! ”

Then, ten minutes later.

Xingcheng Publishing House also posted on Weibo: "Congratulations to Mr. Li Yuanyuan's new work "The Second in the World", which won the special martial arts essay award to commemorate the 200th anniversary of the birth of Master Jin!" ”

"it!!"

"!"

"Mom! Li Lao, who has been sealed for ten years, has come out of the mountain? ”

"It's still Master Jin's big face!"

"Old Li is awesome!"

"I want to watch "The Second in the World"!"

"Hahaha, as soon as "The Second in the World" comes out, who else can there be in this first place besides Li Lao?"

"@银河出版社, hahaha! The three major publishing houses, why don't you speak? ”

"@银河出版社, hurry up and announce the third winner!" This comment was quickly replied to by the account of Glow Publishing House: "Not everyone can cooperate with the master." (Manual Funny)"

A minute later, Xingcheng Publishing House also replied: "Master Li is a long-time partner of our publishing house!" ”

"Hahaha! Is this the official end? ”

"Fight, fight! I just love watching everyone tear up! ”

"The three major publishing houses in China, during this time, Galaxy Publishing House relied on Qi Yuan's 5,000-year series, which can be described as immeasurable! But this time, it seems to be a little bit less interesting! ”

Both publishers have received the approval of the award-winning authors.

The first choice is to publish the work at home.

There is a high probability that the Propaganda Department will refer to the opinions of writers.

The accounts of the two publishing houses are on the Internet, and they interact with netizens very happily.

But the account of Galaxy Publishing House is like dead.

Let netizens @ frantically, but they didn't say a word.

At this moment, it is the two families who are happy and the others who are sad.

The boss of Galaxy Publishing House is calling Qi Yuan!

"Teacher Qi Yuan, your work is indeed award-winning, right?"

At home, Qi Yuan was lying on the sofa, Gu Hongli was kneeling on the side, pinching his calf, and pricking up his ears, listening curiously to the phone in Qi Yuan's hand.

Qi Yuan said: "Well, my book hasn't been announced yet, so it should be award-winning." ”

"Then on our side, can we publicize it in advance? It's also for you to build momentum! ”

"No, it's not necessary. Anyway, I've already won the award. ”

"But netizens don't know yet, now everyone thinks that the fifth person, Li Yuanyuan's side, is the first place!"

"Whoever is the first place can do it!"

"But ......"

"Boss Liu, haha, did you see that on Weibo, the popularity of Star City Publishing House and Glow Publishing House is relatively high, so your eyes are hot?"

The other side paused and admitted: "Teacher Qi Yuan, you know, if our publishing house can win the publication of this essay, it will be a very large order volume, and we can make a lot of money." The Propaganda Department will definitely take into account the opinions of your award-winning writers and the broad masses of the people, so ......"

"Boss Liu, think about it. The 27 works announced today are not only the works, but not the author's name. ”

"That's true."

"And then we saved the winners for tomorrow, right?"

"That's right."

"This is a re-building from above! So who should do the official announcement of the list of winners? In other words, who is the organizer? ”

As soon as Boss Liu on the other end of the phone heard Qi Yuan's words, cold sweat suddenly came out of his back.

He trembled and said: "The official announcement of this matter must be done by the Propaganda Department. ”

"So, now that I've done what other people's propaganda departments have done, what do you think?"

Qi Yuan's words immediately made Boss Liu empowered!

Thankfully!

Fortunately, I called and asked Qi Yuan!

If this is blindly helping the Propaganda Department to officially announce the list of winners on Weibo, isn't this looking for death?

This night.

Li Changyuan's readers, the readers of the fifth person, the readers of "One Stroke of Heart", the readers of the authors of the major shortlisted works, and the people of Star City Publishing House and Glow Publishing House were all so excited that they couldn't sleep all night!

All over the web.

Only here at Galaxy Press, it is very quiet as if it has fallen asleep.

Finally.

It was 10 a.m. the next day.

The winners were announced.

Third place, "Big Knife", author: fifth person, 45 votes.

"Why is there only a third place? What about second and first place? ”

"Mom! Propaganda Department: This is really appetizing! ”

"The work of our fifth person is only the third ???"

"The third is already very good."

Glow Press.

Everyone is nervously waiting for the list to come out.

Although the award has already been determined.

But whether it is the first, second or third, in fact, there is still a big difference.

You will always only know the first place in many competitions, but who the second place is, get out.

Many people know what the world's first peak is called, but what is the second peak?

The third place came out, which means that the fifth person to cooperate with Glow Publishing House won the third place.

"Oops! It's still a little bit worse! ”

"The third wow, I can only say that it is unsatisfactory. After all, there is Li Changchang here! This big guy, who can beat it! ”

"Yes, yes, I just don't know, can the task of publishing be handed over to us!"

"Hey! Although I said that, I still felt a little uncomfortable! I don't know who will be the winner besides Li Changchang! ”

The whole network is waiting.

Star City Press.

Liao Yuan held a cigar in one hand and said with a smile: "Now it's stable, if Li Lao doesn't take the first, who will take the first!" Wait, brothers! ”

"Old Li cowhide!"

"He is worthy of being the last martial arts master of our country! The strength is not to say! ”

"I'm looking forward to the physical book of "The Second in the World"!"

"Hahaha, this publishing task, our club has no run, right?"

11 o'clock.

The second place came out.

"The Second in the World", Author: Li Changyuan. Number of votes: 64.

The second place is actually Li Changyuan!!

This result made everyone in an uproar!

"Isn't Elder Li the first?"

"The last martial arts master in Huaguo, isn't he the first!?"

"It's too much, it's really too much!"

"64 votes, are the other 9 people dead? Li Lao's works, can't you like them? ”

"Who is the first place, stronger than the fifth person and Li Yuanyuan?"

"Li Lao's work has also been announced! So among the 30 shortlisted works, only "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" remains? ”

"! Who is the author of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes"? ”

Glow Press.

"I'm grass! Li Changchang is not the first? ”

"Hahaha, I don't know why, I want to laugh when I see this result!"

"Although our fifth teacher is not the first, Li Changyuan on the other side is not the first! Hahaha, second and third, what's the difference? ”

"The Legend of the Condor Heroes? Whose book is this? Actually defeated the fifth person and Li Yuanyuan? ”

"Awesome? Is this essay contest going to be an upset!? ”

Star City Press.

There was a dead silence.

The cigar in Liao Yuan's hand burned to his fingers, and he was still motionless, staring at the result.

"How...... How can it be? Old Li, isn't he the first? ”

"Shady, there must be shady?"

"First place, who the hell is it?"

"Is there anyone stronger than Li Lao? I don't believe it! ”

"The Legend of the Condor Heroes, whose work is it?"

Li Changchang's home.

The son told Li Changchang the result.

After listening to this, he nodded slightly, sat in the rocking chair, and was silent for a long, long time.

And at the moment.

The most excited.

Naturally, it's Galaxy Press.

The insiders knew this morning that Qi Yuan, who has a good cooperative relationship with the club, also won the award.

But I was sternly asked by the boss not to spread the word everywhere until the official results were announced by the Propaganda Department.

Now the third and second places are out.

Who's in first place, don't you need to say!?

Finally.

12 noon.

The first place came out.

"The Legend of the Condor Heroes". Author: Qi Yuan. Number of votes: 73.

Seeing this line of words, the whole country of China was quiet.
