Lin Yuan naturally didn't understand Gu Xi's series of mental activities, not long after he left, the phone rang, from an unfamiliar number.

The old rules, hang up.

The other party called a second time.

It doesn't seem to be a harassing call, Lin Yuan thought about it, didn't hang up again, and answered the channel: "Which one?"

"Hello!"

The other side said, "May I ask if you are Teacher Chu Mad ?"

"I am. ”

"Hello, Teacher Chu Mad , I am Wei Long, the editor-in-chief of tribal literature......" The other party reported himself proudly.

Lin Yuan swallowed.

Wei Long naturally didn't know how special his name was: "Our tribal literature is recently preparing to organize a short story event, where thirty short story writers will be invited to compete on the same stage, and you are one of our invitees. ”

"Not interested. ”

Lin Yuan plans to continue to cooperate with "Fun Reading".

He felt that the manuscript fee of 200,000 articles in the Yinlan Library was not low, and although the platform for tribal literature was convenient, there was no manuscript fee.

"Don't be in a hurry to refuse. ”

The other party hurriedly smiled: "All the writers who participate in our activities will receive a reward of 100,000 yuan, in addition, on this basis, if your work can enter the top three, we will also provide bonuses, the first place will be awarded 300,000 yuan, the second place will be awarded 200,000 yuan, and the third place will be awarded 100,000 yuan." ”

Bonus?

Lin Yuan was a little tempted.

The manuscript fee for the third place is 100,000 yuan, plus the 100,000 yuan for the manuscript invitation at the beginning, it seems that it is no worse than the silver and blue library, and if you get the second or even the first place, there will be more bonuses!

It's not a safe amount of money......

But Lin Yuan felt that with the quality of the stories in his hands, it was not a big problem to enter the top three, after all, the short stories in his hands were all famous chapters.

There is a door.

Finding that Lin Yuan didn't speak, the other party guessed that Chu Yan was interested, and couldn't help but raise his voice: "Please rest assured, for the results of the competition of thirty writers, our tribal literature will not interfere, and who the top three will be in the end is completely decided by the readers of our tribal literature!"

"What about the rules?"

Lin Yuan had the idea of participating.

The editor-in-chief named Weilong said: "The rules are very simple, we are not limited to the direction of the subject, but the number of words is limited, and the number of words in the entries shall not be higher than 10,000 words, after all, the competition is a short story, and readers on the Internet do not have the patience to read long articles, as far as my personal opinion is ......concerned, it is better not to exceed 5,000 words."

There was a pause.

Wei Long continued: "After receiving the manuscripts from the writers, our tribal literature will be promoted in the official name, and the scope of this promotion is definitely greater than that of traditional paper magazines......

Lin Yuan was thoughtful.

Tribal literature has a wide readership, which is determined by the attributes of the platform itself, the number of users they have crushes any magazine, they do this, as long as they consider how many users will be converted into readers.

"I'll tell you the truth. ”

Wei Long smiled and said, "We originally planned to directly pay for the writers to participate, but considering that this event may imitate the form of the music industry's season charts for a long time, we finally adopted such a form, I don't know what your intentions are?"

"I'll think about it. ”

Lin Yuan replied like this, but he actually had a basic idea in his heart.

The other party also guessed this, so he said: "Okay, this number is your address book, I'll add your friends, go back and send the email to your address book, if you have ideas, please be sure to submit the manuscript before the end of this month, because the selection will officially start at the beginning of next month." ”

"Good. ”

Lin Yuan hung up the phone.

In fact, "Fun Reading" also invited Lin Yuan to write.

Because of the popularity of "Maggie's Gift", the magazine's sales have increased a lot, so the magazine wants to cooperate with Lin Yuan for a long time.

But now it seems that the activities of tribal literature are more cost-effective.

Lin Yuan has no sense of belonging to Yinlan Library, after all, he signed a work with Yinlan Library instead of a person, and he has the right to choose his own publishing platform, which is why he chose tribal literature when he uploaded "Artificial Beauty" for the first time.

......

During the Chinese New Year, Lin Yuan took advantage of his sister's luck to draw five short stories in one go, and currently used up two, leaving three stories to choose from.

"That's it. ”

The choice doesn't need to be too tangled.

Because no matter how Lin Yuan thinks about it, the remaining three stories are not bad, and what specific achievements can be made depends on the reader's taste.

However, Lin Yuan's task is not only to choose one of the stories, he also needs to change the background of the novel to make it more suitable for a certain era of Blue Star-

Because the system gives five original stories.

Therefore, "Maggie's Gift" was adapted by Lin Yuan himself, such as the conversion of money, and the conversion of background, etc.

Compared with.

Lin Yuan's first release of "Artificial Beauty" does not have a clear background of the times and does not require too many changes, so it is the easiest to write.

The explanation for this system is:

is too complicated to adapt, and the system can help to do it well, but a story of thousands of words like "Maggie's Gift" still needs Lin Yuan to do it himself.

Lin Yuan did not resist this.

People have more than 10 billion brain cells, and if you adapt a few thousand words of content, you can't die much, but you can have a little more sense of participation.

And that's exactly what happened.

Although he didn't know how many brain cells he had died, Lin Yuan returned to his residence at night and finished changing the background of the story with his computer, but it only took less than two hours, and one hour was used to check the information.

This kind of thing, it's right to be rigorous.

As for writing the original version, it was only a matter of twenty minutes.

After revising the novel, Lin Yuan didn't send it to Wei Long's mailbox immediately, but thought about sending it over in a few days.

If you send it to the other party on the same day, doesn't it expose the fact that you have a manuscript?

Turning off the computer, Lin Yuan prepared to sleep.

......

And when Lin Yuan was about to rest, in front of the desk in a certain apartment, Gu Xi was nervously waiting for a friend's call.

Suddenly, the phone rang.

She quickly connected: "How's it going?"

"Miss Gu, I tossed for a long time to help you get it, and you have to invite me to a big dinner when you go back. ”

"I'm please!"

"Count you as having a little conscience, the person you inquired about is called Lin Yuan, and he is indeed a student in the composition department, a sophomore this year. ”

"What else?"

"Lin Yuan is relatively taciturn, and it is said that his health is not very good, but his classmates have a good evaluation of him, saying that he has a good personality and never conflicts with others, that's all, I don't know if it's superfluous. ”

Gu Xi: "......"

People who have never had conflicts with their classmates have conflicts with me, so how disgusted am I?

"That's right. ”

The friend asked, "Why are you asking about Lin Yuan? Could it be that you are greedy for other people's bodies, right?

"It's not his body that I'm hungry for......"

Gu Xi sighed: "You won't understand, can you give me a tip and tell me how to please someone?"

"Of course, it's what it likes. ”

"But I don't know what he likes. ”

"In my experience, 99 percent of people like money, and of course I'm talking about vulgar people like me. ”

"He's not vulgar at all. ”

Gu Xi sighed again: "It would be nice if he liked money...... There's no way he's going to like money......"

How can a fairy-like character like money?
