Chapter Eighty-Eight: The Upstart Rises
Of course, the unveiling of the king is just a joke.
Mainly because tribal literature is too dead.
Thirty short stories compete on the same stage, and I won't tell you who the authors of these novels are until the last day, but only tell you that these writers are all well-known in the industry......
This kind of competition adopted by tribal literature can be said to mobilize everyone's curiosity to the greatest extent!
As the saying goes, curiosity kills cats.
The group of readers and people in the field of short stories are certainly not cats, but they are no less curious than cats at this time.
This trick can be said to be very psychological.
It's like a person who is halfway through a speech and suddenly stops talking.
Whether that sentence is important or not, the listener will be very concerned, who told you to only reveal half of the information?
So the discussion board of the tribe, where many readers posted, predicted the author online, analyzed from various levels of the article, very technical party.
And if you want to say that everyone is most curious, it is, of course, the author of the first place this time!
After a month of competition, the ending of this short story competition is very obvious.
This short story called "The Death of a Little Civil Servant" is the champion work of this competition!
Therefore, the discussion about the author of "The Death of a Little Civil Servant" is also the most lively.
In those speculative posts, almost all the famous writers in the field of short stories have been cued by readers.
It's a pity that no one has admitted it so far.
Of course, Lin Yuan also saw his ranking.
To be honest, he was very surprised that "The Death of a Little Civil Servant" could win the championship, because he was prepared for this novel to only rank third.
The story is excellent, but the satire in the novel is a little less effective.
And this deviation of the effect is bound to occur.
Other words.
If Lin Yuan lived in an era of dark feudal rule, perhaps this novel would be endowed with a deeper meaning.
And nowadays.
In this era of great peace on the Blue Star, this novel is more like using a creative technique of "borrowing from the past to satirize the present".
However, Lin Yuan was not too entangled in this matter.
Since "The Death of a Little Civil Servant" is the first place, if nothing else, Lin Yuan just needs to wait for the first prize money to arrive.
The wait didn't last long.
On the last day of April, Tribal Literature finally announced the list of writers.
Under everyone's intently watchful eyes, the authors of these novels have finally been exposed!
"it!"
"It turns out that the author of "Missed" is Mr. Ping, I said that the style of writing is somewhat familiar, and Mr. Ping didn't admit it before!"
The reasoning of the second place turned out to be written by Lao Wang! Lao Wang's cliff deliberately changed his style, and the reader could not imagine it at all. ”
"The fifth place "Echo" is Qi Tong's work? Qi Tong has very few short stories, but I didn't expect him to try short stories this time. ”
"The eighth work turned out to be written by Ye Ye!"
"Hahaha, there are three short stories in it, I guessed the author!"
"I guessed two. ”
"There was a prediction post before.,It's a god prophecy.,The landlord guessed eight.,It should be the guy with the highest accuracy rate at present!"
“......”
When the guessing results came out, the atmosphere of the readers was quite joyful.
And more readers, as well as people in the field of short stories, are the first to see who the author of "The Death of a Little Civil Servant" is.
As a result, the authors of the short story field, as well as many readers, were stunned for a moment.
Because it's a name that 99 percent of people didn't guess beforehand.
"Chu Mad?"
"It's Chu Mad?"
"The author of "Artificial Beauty"?"
"The guy who wrote 'The Gift of the Magi' last month?"
"I remember him because of "The King of the Net", it turns out that he can also write short stories?"
"It seems that the buddies upstairs haven't paid much attention to the short story circle recently, "Maggie's Gift" was the hottest short story last month, and the author is this Chu Maniac!"
"The "Artificial Beauty" he released during the Chinese New Year is also good, and I personally feel that it is very interesting. ”
"This is the upstart of the short story field!"
"I thought the author of this novel was a character who had been famous for a long time, but I didn't expect it to be an upstart in our field of short stories!"
“......”
No wonder readers are so stunned.
They couldn't guess Chu Mad, the author of "The Death of a Little Civil Servant", because Chu Mad was a newcomer in the field of short stories.
Second, the style of this "Maggie's Gift" is too different from Chu Mad's first two works!
Fiction creation, even if the author's name is hidden, is not untraceable.
Because different writers have different creative habits.
It's like O'Henry.
He likes to write about an unexpected reversal ending.
Unexpected and plausible are the hallmarks of his writing, and the literary world has called his ending pattern "O'Henry-esque ending".
At the same time, it is also a point that he is criticized.
Because some people will say that O'Henry's works feel like a pattern after watching too much.
However, Chu Mad broke this definition.
In his first two novels, the difference is not obvious.
But in "The Death of a Little Civil Servant", Chu Mad actually played the art of satire!
For this reason, he even abandoned the storytelling and ending reversal mode of "Maggie's Gift".
Is the art of satire more advanced?
This statement is not necessarily, but in the hearts of more people, the art of satire is indeed compelling, and "The Death of a Little Civil Servant" can become the champion this time because many people feel a strong sense of déjà vu when they read the novel-
Many of the scenes that pervade life are satirized by this novel.
So everyone thinks the author is amazing.
Short story writer Wang Guojian, who ranked second, posted tribal dynamics: "Chu Mad won the championship, just like "Maggie's Gift", the ending is full of reversed drama, and I began to look forward to Chu Mad bringing more surprises to the field of short stories in the future." ”
Teacher Ping'an, who ranked third, said: "Chu Mad is an upstart in the field of short stories!"
Followed by.
I don't know about them.
Whoa, whoa!
More than a dozen of the 30 writers in the competition all spoke through tribal dynamics:
"The style difference between the works before and after is too great, who would have guessed that this was written by the newcomer Chu Mad, but I have to admit that "The Death of a Little Civil Servant" is a very good novel, although it is still glorious. ”
"It's great to have such a talented new writer in the field of short stories!"
"I have read all three short stories of Chu Yan, and he is indeed a genius to be able to write such excellent works when he first enters this field. ”
"My son likes "The King of the Net" written by Chu Mad very much, so I knew about this writer for a long time, but I didn't expect to lose to him in the short story competition one day, I don't know if my son is sad or happy at the moment/dog"
“......”
At this time, You Rong, the editor-in-chief of "Fun Reading", was full of righteous indignation, and slammed the table:
"Tribal literature is actually stealing people!"
