Chapter 15: The Hidden Dragon (New Books for Collection and Recommendation)
"Great demon!" Hearing this, Pei Yue's expression instantly became serious, "Can you be sure what level of the big demon is?"
Pei Mingyang shook his head: "The fifth brother said that the difference in strength is too big, and he can't see it at all." ”
Hearing this, Pei Yue lowered his voice and said: "That's enough, he can't even see it, at least it's a second-order demon, it seems that you have met an amazing person." ”
"That's right," Pei Mingyang nodded, "Fortunately, I gave him a pretty good impression, and he is also willing to hand over his work to us for release, which is definitely a rare opportunity." ”
On the Heavenly Star, it is common for immortal cultivators to participate in the entertainment industry, because merit is also useful to them. Even this kind of master is more likely to become popular, after all, they themselves are longed for by countless mortals, for example, Li Canghai, one of the four great singers of the East Pole Continent, is the head of the top immortal cultivation sect, the Wuyu Immortal Sect.
So it's not surprising to meet a writer who seems to be a master, it's a great opportunity. Pei Yue pondered for a while and said to him: "In this way, you take this work to participate in the new Qianlong Tianbang selection." ”
"Hidden Dragon Heavenly List!" Pei Mingyang originally thought that his father would only agree to serialize Du Ziyuan's comics, but who knew that he would actually use this work to participate in the Hidden Dragon Heavenly List!
The so-called Qianlong List is actually a new novelist contest officially held by the Aolan Kingdom, which is held every 3 years, and the model is similar to the imperial examination. It takes two rounds of local and national selection to determine the final ranking of the Qianlong list, and all authors who have debuted within three years can participate.
Among them, the local selection determines the Qianlong land list, and the 36 counties of the Auran country have their own independent land lists, while the national selection determines the Qianlong Tian list, which is unified across the country. After the decision is made, it will be announced to the world, even the surrounding countries will be able to know.
This is definitely a grand festival that attracts the attention of the whole country, if the newcomers can stand out from here, the future will be bright, of course, there are those who are short-lived and then disappear, and everything in the novel industry depends on talent.
At this time, the local selection of the Qianlong list has long ended, and the list of each county has been released, and the same is true of Haifeng County, where Du Ziyuan is located. The national judging will start five days later, and the contestants will be the first in each county, with a total of 36 participants. In addition, in order to prevent the concentration of talents in some counties, an additional 10 referral places have been set up.
The only way for Du Ziyuan's works to be airborne in the national selection is through recommendation. As the No. 1 entertainment giant in the Aolan Kingdom, Tiangangzong has a pivotal position in the novel industry, and naturally has more than one recommendation quota for the national selection of the Qianlong List.
It's just that Tiangangzong, who has always cherished feathers, would rather waste a quota than recommend a novel that is not up to standard, so even Pei Mingyang didn't expect that Pei Yue would be willing to recommend Du Ziyuan's work to participate in the Hidden Dragon List.
The two of them are of course very optimistic about "Genius Mahjong Fairy", but this is only their personal opinion after all, and no matter how good the editor is, it is impossible to be 100% sure whether a work is a bestseller, otherwise it would be good for them to create it themselves. After all, it is not a treasure of gold and silver, no matter how good a work is, there will be people who don't like it, and no one can assert the results of a work without being tested by the market.
Especially Du Ziyuan's special works, at best they are creative and novel, but at worst they can be deviant and controversial. Using this kind of work to participate in the Qianlong Heavenly List is undoubtedly gambling with his own signboard.
Although losing will not cause much substantial damage to the Tiangang Sect, which has a great family, it will inevitably become a black spot for Pei Yue, and even his right to speak will be affected. Of course, if he wins, Pei Yue will inevitably attribute the credit to Pei Mingyang this time and lay a good foundation for his ascension in advance.
The position of the peak master of Miaozhu Peak is occupied by the capable, rather than inherited by blood, but if the son of the peak master is good enough, everyone will generally be willing to let his son inherit his father's business.
Pei Mingyang saw that his father was willing to gamble with a work he met for the first time, and he was apprehensive in his heart: "Okay, I'll take it and sign up." ”
"Well, by the way, Master Yiye's new work can also be taken to participate. Pei Yue added.
"As it should be. Pei Mingyang has no opinion on this, he originally planned to do so.
It's just that just as he was about to take back the manuscript from Pei Yue's hand, the latter's hand suddenly retracted.
As soon as Pei Mingyang looked up, he saw that the latter was saying with a shy old face and flattering: "Good son, you have been out for so many days, can you go home for dinner today, it is very lonely to be a father alone." ”
His face instantly darkened: "Alone, don't you know how many times you have been running to the Cuiyu Pavilion in the past few days?" After speaking, he snatched the original manuscript and left without looking back.
Cuiyu Pavilion is the largest green building in the imperial city, similar to the kind of high-end club, and generally only accepts big people like Pei Yue.
Pei Yue, who was exposed, suddenly looked embarrassed, and shouted at Pei Mingyang's back: "Son, you have to believe that you are a father, I just went to discuss poetry and songs with the girl inside! No matter how excessive things are, I will never do anything! At most, ...... At most, I just drink a little wine and touch my hands......"
"Get out!" Pei Mingyang's response was only a simple word.
Pei Yue was the object of his greatest admiration when he was a child, and he always regarded it as a benchmark in his life, until later after Pei Yue was so angry that his mother returned to his parents' house, he never gave Pei Yue a good face. However, he is a person who has a clear distinction between public and private, so he does not bring personal emotions when talking about official affairs.
After going down the mountain, Pei Mingyang informed Yiye about the Qianlong Tianbang, who was lying on the ground in the courtyard writing a novel at this time, and he didn't pay much attention to the matter of the Qianlong Tianbang: "Oh, you can take it to participate, I will continue to write later." ”
"Well, in that case, then I'm going to take my leave. Pei Mingyang was about to leave, when suddenly Yiye stopped him from behind.
"You didn't bring me to the Imperial City right away, did you want to find another author?"
Pei Mingyang turned around and looked at this ghost who has always been indifferent to everything and only immersed in the world of his novels, when will he care about others anymore? After thinking for a while, he still replied, "Yes." ”
Yiye said again: "Then are his novels interesting?"
"It's a lot of fun. Pei Mingyang said without hesitation.
Kazuha's eyes began to light up: "Which is more interesting than my novel?"
Pei Mingyang frowned and pondered for a while, and finally said: "It's hard to say, but he will also participate in this Hidden Dragon Heavenly List, and you will be able to see his works then." ”
