Chapter 106: The Joker is Yang Xiong's illegitimate son
This year's novel that won the Golden Pen Award is "White Night Walking".
The most surprising thing is that the judges' award-winning evaluation of this novel - a subversive traditional mystery novel, a landmark masterpiece!
July almost didn't fall out of her chair.
The wish also opened its mouth wide, and its face was full of incredulity.
How could it be that "White Night Walking" won the Golden Pen Award?
"Woo-woo-"
"Why not July?"
"What the hell is going on?"
"The sales of White Night Walking are so poor, why can you still win the Golden Pen Award?"
A lot of people don't understand why.
Chen Ruolin was pleasantly surprised, but also very puzzled.
The most critical first few award-winning novels have been sold very unexpectedly.
In this comparison, it seems that the sales volume of "White Night Walking" is more and more ugly.
No wonder so many people have opinions.
"Who said 'White Night Walking' was selling badly?"
"Just now, Zero Point Bookstore sold 100,000 copies!"
"100,000 copies?"
Many people are confused, are you being funny? Just now? 100,000 copies?
July frowned, "Check it out." ”
Someone quickly took out his mobile phone and checked it, and after checking it, the person was stunned.
July couldn't help but laugh and said, "Sure enough, the data is wrong." ”
The man swallowed, "It's not 100,000 copies, it's 130,000 copies!" ”
July: "......"
Are you funny? How long has it been?
Others are also constantly refreshing their data, and as a result, sales of White Night Walk are skyrocketing with each refresh.
Hell yes!
Everyone was stunned.
There is no such thing as swiping, and all sales data are collected from major bookstores.
"When I went, almost all the books were sold from Zero Point Bookstore."
"What the hell is going on?"
"Zero Point Bookstore?"
Everyone was stunned.
This bookstore is one of the four major bookstores in China Overseas and a giant in the industry.
Just when everyone was confused, someone broke the news: "It is said that the senior management of Zero Point Book House has swept away all the inventory in the past three days, but it just won't sell." Just now, "White Night Walking" won the award, and they announced that they would start selling "White Night Walking". ”
Chen Ruolin and Long Yuan looked at each other in a daze, they probably knew what was going on.
Someone is hoarding!
The others also came to their senses.
"Grass, it's shameless to have been stockpiling goods since the first day."
"No wonder the sales of "White Night Walking" are so poor, it turns out that no one wants to buy it, it is that there is no place to buy a book."
At this time, many bookstores also stood up to speak.
"It's really shameless to say that the publisher told me that it was out of stock when I bought it."
"Me too, it turned out that I was bought in advance by Zero Point Bookstore."
"It's destroying competition in the industry."
"Yes, it's completely unfair competition."
Many bookstore owners were indignant.
But it didn't work.
Now most of the goods are in the Zero Point Book Store, and if you want to buy the physical book of "White Night Walking", you can only go to the Zero Point Book Store.
The truth is revealed.
July's face turned green.
The writers of the Aurora faction were even more embarrassed.
The face of the wish was the most ugly, she originally came to see Long Yuan and Chen Ruolin's jokes, but she personally witnessed "White Night Walking" ascending to the altar.
"Since the clown teacher didn't come, I also asked Mr. Long Yuan to come to the stage to accept the award on his behalf." The host looked at Long Yuan.
Long Yuan came to power.
Wishing clenched his fists, got up and left, and almost fell down as he left, very embarrassed.
The writers of the Aurora faction also left in disgrace.
After leaving the venue, an author hummed softly, "What if he won the Golden Pen Award?" I don't believe he really writes short stories. ”
Not many people know about the Joker's short story participating in the film and television roundtable, and the authors of the Aurora faction have never heard of it.
July nodded: "The way to write long stories and short stories is completely different, and I can't write short stories well." ”
Short stories are hard to write.
If you want to write a good story within 3,000 words, you need a strong pen and experience.
July asked himself that he was good at writing novels, but it was only a long one.
Short stories, he really can't write well.
Equally.
He also thinks that it is impossible for a clown to write a good short story.
Since ancient times, there have not been many people who can write both short and long stories at the same time.
Even those literary giants may not be able to do it.
Yang Xiong and Yang Hu are both good at short stories, and they can also write short stories and long stories well, but they can only write well.
The strongest of the two of them is the short story.
The best novels written in Zhonghai are the other two literary bigwigs.
"But why did Yang Xiong give the wild card to the Joker?"
The writers of the Aurora faction looked at each other.
Oh, yes.
Yang Xiong is not stupid.
He can't give a wild card to an unreliable person for no reason.
July's face changed slightly, "I thought of a possibility. ”
And all the people looked at him.
"The clown is most likely Yang Xiong's illegitimate son!"
July squinted, "Do you remember the boiling incident that came from before?" ”
The eyes of the crowd lit up, and of course they will not forget.
Yang Xiong's illegitimate child incident!
At that time, Yang Xiong's wife almost divorced him, and this incident was full of trouble.
Don't think that Yang Xiong's wife is a simple character, she is a famous screenwriter and a talented woman in Zhonghai.
"The writing of 'White Night Walking' is old and spicy, and the layout is meticulous, and it is difficult for young people to write this kind of novel."
"It is very likely that this novel was completed under the guidance of Yang Xiong."
"The clown is most likely Yang Xiong's illegitimate son! The reason why he gave the wild card to the clown was to praise the clown! ”
July squinted, "Yang Xiong is really carried away by his father's love." ”
"Hey, if he does this, those authors of the Zhonghai faction won't agree."
"That's it, especially Shen Fei!"
"Shen Fei is arrogant, outsiders have always said that he is not as good as the genius of our Zhonghai University, he has long wanted to prove himself. Now that Yang Xiong has been stripped of his qualifications to participate in the competition, he will definitely be unhappy. ”
"Hey, there's a good show!"
The authors of the Aurora faction couldn't help but be happy.
Eat melons for the masses who don't like to be.
The Zhonghai Campus Essay Contest is about to start, but the Zhonghai faction is in chaos, and it is beneficial to their Aurora faction.
They were right.
The writers of the short stories of the Zhonghai faction elected representatives to persuade Yang Xiong to take back the wild card, but Yang Xiong turned him away, and he was resentful in his stomach.
Even if "White Night Walking" won the Golden Pen Award for Mystery Fiction, they still have a mustard in their hearts.
"We can't afford to lose anymore."
"I feel ashamed to lose to Aurora University for three years in a row."
"That's it, it's really impossible for Mr. Yang to be rash."
"Go to Tang Wan, if she goes to tell Teacher Yang, Teacher Yang will definitely be able to listen to it."
The people of the Zhonghai faction went to find Tang Wan, a genius and beautiful writer from Zhonghai University.
Tang Wan is a goose-faced beauty with a ball-headed head, with delicate facial features and a quiet temperament.
She wears black-rimmed glasses, which gives her an intellectual feel.
Looking at the authors, Tang Wan couldn't help but smile and said, "Do you want me to force the palace?" ”
