At the same time, 30 well-known short story writers were invited to compete on the same stage.

With such a big move, tribal literature is naturally propaganda all over the world.

Many short story lovers, from the time the news came out, they were already looking forward to it-

For them, it's going to be a feast.

And in the field of short stories, there are not a few people in the industry who have paid attention to this matter.

However, when the event began, everyone found out that tribal literature actually played a trick!

The announcement of the event reads:

[Each user has three chances to compare hearts, you can compare your hearts to the works at the end of the article, you can only compare your hearts once per novel, express your support for the work in this way, the ranking of the works is determined by the number of hearts, but for the fairness of the final ranking, we deliberately concealed the author's name, please start from the content, make the most fair selection, and when the final ranking is determined, we will announce the authors of these works. 】

Why is this operation so sassy?

Because the writers who were invited to participate in the contest for tribal literature had fans.

There's something called a fan filter.

Many fans will only vote for their favorite writers, not for their favorite works.

Therefore, in order to prevent this from happening, tribal literature directly withheld the author's name.

"It's kind of interesting. ”

"Some authors have a special style, so readers can still guess who the author is, but who dares to be sure, after all, many authors have a similar style. ”

That's why Tribal Literature didn't reveal in advance who the 30 writers were. ”

"I didn't like this event, but now I'm interested. ”

“......”

After the discussion, everyone started reading the book.

The length of short stories is generally controlled at about three to five thousand words, so readers read them quickly.

Tribal literature leaves the decision on rankings to the reader.

Everyone enjoys the feeling of being a judge, so when reading the novel, there is no impatience, but an inexplicable sense of mission.

"My heart determines the future of the work. ”

Many people participate in the selection with this belief in mind.

Gradually, someone noticed the novel "The Death of a Little Civil Servant".

This is a matter of course, and it would be strange if the novel did not attract the attention of the reader, because Blue Star's level of artistic appreciation is higher than that of Earth, and it is impossible not to see the power of this novel.

To know.

This is one of the three great novels of the earth, and Chekhov's early works are very representative!

Leo Tolstoy once said of Chekhov: "I put aside all hypocritical politeness and say with certainty that Chekhov is far more skillful than I am in terms of technique!"

There is no first in the text, and there is no second in the martial arts.

Westerners are not very fond of modesty and politeness.

Chekhov, who can make Leo Tolstoy evaluate like this, must be very powerful.

Chekhov is known for his critical realism, and "The Death of a Little Civil Servant" is such a representative work.

And as more and more people read "The Death of a Little Civil Servant", the comment area of this novel gradually became lively.

Although the author's name is withheld, everyone can still comment on the novel.

"This novel is kind of amazing. ”

"Although it is only more than 1,000 words, I read it three times, the first time I thought it was funny, the second time I felt sad, and the third time I felt a little empathetic, because I felt that if I was put in the situation of a small civil servant, although I would not apologize repeatedly, I would not sleep well for at least a week. ”

It seems to be a criticism of the ancient feudal autocracy, but in fact, it is a satire of the present. ”

"Yes, I thought about it for a long time, but I didn't think of the word. ”

"In our modern society, there are also many people like small civil servants, but the novel uses an exaggerated way to show it. ”

"I don't even think it's an exaggeration, people who have experienced it may be more empathetic, fear is a terrible emotion, it can really destroy a person, which is why we emphasize psychological quality. ”

“......”

After the discussion, everyone began to wonder about the author of the novel.

"Tribal literature withholds the author's name, which is so sassy that I can't tell which writer this novel is written by just by the style. ”

"I think it's a writer who has been famous for a long time. ”

"The skill of the author is certainly beyond doubt, and it is not an easy thing to be able to conquer the reader with more than a thousand words, but I have been conquered, and I am more than heart-to-heart. ”

"The scary place is here, this novel is just over a thousand words!"

"I can't wait to give all three comparisons to this novel, but unfortunately tribal literature won't let me do that, and each novel can only compare hearts once. ”

"It's time to start wondering about the results to be revealed, who will the author be, and there is an inexplicable expectation of what's going on, hahahahaha. ”

“......”

The next day, this "Death of a Little Civil Servant" came out on top!

However, the second and third places are not much different from the number of hearts in the first place, so the battle situation is still stalemate.

And in the face of such a result, not to mention that readers are curious, even the writers' circle in the field of short stories have also begun to be curious, and many small circles are discussing:

"Whose work is the first place?"

"Just looking at the style, I can't tell who it is at all. ”

"Could it be Lao Zhou's? Tribal literature must have invited him, right?"

"Lao Zhou did participate in the competition, and he refused to tell me which work he was the author of, but he just asked me if I knew who wrote "The Death of a Little Civil Servant". ”

"No one admits it?"

"These guys are treacherous and ruthless, anyway, "The Death of a Little Civil Servant" must have been written by a writer we are familiar with, but Tribal Literature patted his chest and promised that the writers participating in the competition are all relatively senior writers in the industry. ”

"Has anyone asked about tribal literature?"

"I inquired, even on the tribal literature side, at least the editor-in-chief level knows who the author is, but they are tight-lipped and refuse to reveal the author of any work. ”

"I can only wait for the final announcement. ”

"Having said that, the level of writing of "The Death of a Little Civil Servant" is really high, the text is humorous, satirical but spicy, the length is very short, but the content is meaningful. ”

"It is estimated that it is not a big problem to win the first place in the end. ”

"It's hard to say, the second place is a mystery novel, the story is very strong, and the final reversal is also surprising, and there is hope for a turnaround. ”

"The third place is not bad, two students who have been in love since junior high school, one has good grades and one is poor, in order to be with each other, one studies hard, performs exceptionally in exams, enters the best high school in the county, and one deliberately releases water and enters a relatively poor high school, but I always feel that this story is a bit of the novel that was very popular some time ago, the shadow of "Maggie's Gift". ”

“......”

The discussion was vigorous, and the activities of tribal literature were filled with a "guess who I am" guessing fun.
