Chapter 109: Three rounds of essays

The campus essay contest in the Zhonghai Division is divided into three rounds.

Three rounds, three short stories.

In the first round, the participating authors of China Shipping and all universities in more than a dozen cities near China Overseas signed up for the competition, and stood out through the voting of judges and readers.

In order to prevent the popularity of a certain author from becoming too popular and affecting the fairness of the competition, the readers in charge of voting are selected from all age groups.

In addition, these voting readers are all randomly selected and widely distributed in the Zhonghai Division.

In short, the game is relatively fair.

In the first round, the top 30 will be taken.

The second round is played in a similar way to the third round, with the top 10 in the second round and the top 3 in the third round.

In addition, when you enter the second round, the results of the first round will be cleared.

When we entered the third round, the results of the second round were cleared again.

In this way, the randomness of the game increases a lot.

I can't guarantee that there will be a batch of dark horses in the third round!

The media relayed the latest approval ratings.

First, Tong Xiaoshu.

Second, Tang Wan.

Third, Xu Quanzhou.

Fourth, Shen Fei.

……

Seventeenth, the clown.

Long Yuan's vest was actually only ranked seventeenth, and his support rate was not high.

Although "White Night Walking" is very popular now, the sales are against the sky.

But in the field of short stories, there really aren't many people willing to support the Joker.

After all, the clown is the author who got the wild card of Zhonghai University, and everyone is paying attention to the clown.

Seeing that the clown's approval rating is so low, many people are already gloating.

Even among the authors of Zhonghai University, there are many such people.

They jointly persuaded Yang Xiong, but Yang Xiong didn't listen to them and forced Shen Fei away, so they were naturally unhappy.

At this moment, the China Overseas Literature Committee officially issued a notice of the start of the competition, and all authors who signed up for the competition could go to the entertainment tribe to publish their works.

The Literature Committee is a body dedicated to the management of literature, and other writers' associations, academies, and so on are private organizations.

The National Short Story Contest is organized by the National Literary Commission.

After the Chinese Maritime Culture Committee announced the start of the competition, the authors went to the entertainment tribe to release their own short stories.

This is a grand event of Zhonghai literature, and readers have already been watching.

"My county grandfather's father"? I'll go, who the wrote this? It's vulgar! ”

"A Day in the Life of the Wives? Which of these flowers is written or not? ”

A lot of readers were amused.

The forest is big, and there are all kinds of birds.

Every year, there are more than 100,000 authors participating in the competition, and there are all kinds of strange novels.

The judges and voting readers will definitely not be able to finish watching.

Therefore, the entertainment tribe will take the lead in selecting a batch of novels to the judges and voting readers based on clicks, comments and other data.

If it doesn't get pushed for three days in a row, it means that there is not much hope for the novel.

And, of course, there's the self-nomination stage.

If an author is not convinced, he can pitch his novel in other ways.

There are several ways to self-recommend, one of which is to have a teacher from your school jointly recommend yourself.

Shen Fei has released his own short story - "The Chess Player".

Many readers were curious and hurriedly clicked in to read it.

"The Chess Player" tells the story of a Go boy in the countryside.

There's no amazing writing skill.

There is no flowery language.

Bland plot.

But after reading this story, readers have a kind of heartfelt touch.

A rural teenager's insistence on promoting Go!

The persistence of a Go teenager chasing his dreams!

No doubt.

Shen Fei's work "The Chess Player" touched many, many readers.

"Woo woo woo - I also play Go, this novel really moved me."

"Me too, this novel is so well written."

"The most simple words, the most gorgeous thing written - dreams!"

"Shen Fei, my male god, you will always be the best!"

"The first round is definitely yours!"

Shen Fei has won praise from countless people.

The authors of the Zhonghai School stopped talking.

They're too embarrassed to speak.

Shen Fei represents the Ivy League!

Originally, Shen Fei should be the representative author of Zhonghai University, but ......

Ay!

Many authors of the Zhonghai School sighed helplessly.

"Mr. Yang must have made a wrong move."

"Is it really as rumored that the clown is-"

"Don't talk nonsense."

"Hehe, why am I talking nonsense?"

"It is inherently unusual to insist on recommending a clown, an author who has never written a short story, against all odds."

"Senior Shen's "Chess Player" was originally ours, but it ......"

"I'm not convinced!"

"I'm not convinced!"

"I'm not worth it for Senior Shen!"

"Me too!"

A lot of people are gnashing their teeth.

They couldn't hate Yang Xiong, so they could only transfer their hatred to the clown.

"Tang Wan's short story has also been released."

Everyone saw that Tang Wan's novel was called "Pranya".

"Prajna?"

"Buddhist scriptures?"

"What did Tang Wan write?"

Everyone was curious and went in to take a look.

The novel tells the story of an old farmer, and the people in the village call the old farmer "stupid uncle" because he has been stupid since he was a child.

Tang Wan's use of words and narrative methods have been perfected, even if she only reads sentences, it is a pleasure.

There is also an old man called "Zhibo" in the story, who is very smart.

Silly Bo's child drowned in the river, and he decided to control the water, but Jibo laughed at him for not being able to succeed.

And so, year after year, day after day, the fool repeats it, interspersed with touching trivia.

In the process, the foolish uncle inadvertently saved the daughter of the Emperor of Heaven and moved the Emperor of Heaven.

At the end, Tang Wan wrote down the evaluation of the stupid uncle by later generations - the great fool is wise.

The story also has no twists and turns, but there are touches everywhere between the lines.

Seeing the end, many people had a sour nose and couldn't help but want to cry.

It was only at this time that the people realized the meaning of the illustration of the name "Prajna".

Prajna means ultimate wisdom.

Tang Wan is obviously telling everyone that he is stupid and wise.

There is no such thing as "great foolishness" in this world, so this short story is particularly precious.

"Awesome!"

"Tang Wan is worthy of being the most genius author of Zhonghai University after Shen Fei."

"Indeed, the gift of great foolishness and wisdom is chewed carefully, the meaning is profound, and the aftertaste is endless."

"I'm personally optimistic about Tang Wan!"

"Me too."

Many people supported Tang Wan.

Long Yuan was also reading these short stories.

After watching "The Chess Player" and "Prajna", Long Yuan had to admit that the standard of Zhonghai's short stories was indeed scary.

If he hadn't opened the hanging, it would definitely not have been the opponent of these genius authors!

At this time, Long Yuan saw two very good short stories.

One is from the hand of Xu Quanzhou.

One is from the hand of the genius Tong Xiaoshu.
