"Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye! It's been a long time since I've seen you, why are you so arrogant? Don't tell me you won't leave until I say goodbye."

According to the schedule and competition system of the Seven Star Literature Cup, the selection in the audition and preliminary selection stage is purely a popularity selection. After the contestants upload their works to the special competition website, they will display [-] entries every day, and each entry Works are displayed for one day, and the contestants who get the top [-] readers' likes after the final audition stage will enter the preliminary stage.

There is almost no change between the preliminary competition and the audition stage, except that the display of works has been extended from one day to three days, and then the top ten contestants with the most likes from readers will enter the finals.The finals couldn’t be easier. The competition invites ten contestants who entered the finals to gather together, and then write an article as a final evaluation within three days. The entire public selection period lasts for five days, and the winner will be selected after five days Naturally, it is clear at a glance.

The real difficulty is actually still in the audition stage...

Because there are only one hundred works displayed every day, and the display time is only one day, so how to attract more readers to like in one day, this requires the contestants not only to work hard on the content of the works, but also to In the design of the title, it is necessary to give readers the impulsive idea of ​​reading and willing to click in to watch the content.

This requires the contestants to integrate various factors.

There are also many people who are worried that this competition is open to all readers and netizens under the age of 30. What if there is a way to deliberately find someone to cheat by swiping tickets?You can rest assured on this point, it just proves the old saying that true gold is not afraid of fire, you will know if it is a donkey or a horse.

Even if you passed the audition and preliminary round by cheating, so what, you still have to show your feet in the final?At that time, it will not be even more ridiculous!

It's not that no one has entered the finals by cheating before, but when it comes to the finals when they really have to rely on their own strength to compete with other people with real swords and guns, their true colors are revealed in an instant, and after three days, they write a fart. The organizer of the most important event doesn't care how many you have, no matter how much you write, he will still post it on the Internet for public selection.

At that time, it will become the laughing stock of the whole country. Would you be willing to change this?

As time goes by, no one dares to use these cheating methods that cannot be put on the stage. On the contrary, many relics of the sea election stage will emerge every time, and they will be highly praised after they are discovered.

Sometimes the game is like this, luck is also a manifestation of strength!

Chapter 419 Necklace

"Hehe~ There are quite a lot of people participating in this competition."

I thought it was a competition for college students, and the group of participants was inherently limited. This competition has only just started a few days ago, and there should not be too many participants. As a result, when Li Chungang unlocked himself, the first When the short story was written and ready to be uploaded for the competition, it was discovered that the real-time number of participants on the website had already reached thousands of people.

Maybe he himself is the weirdest one. The contestants who really want to participate in the competition have already uploaded their entries as early as the first day of the competition.

A total of five short stories have been unlocked, one of which Li Chungang thinks is his favorite among them, and both the content and the meaning he wants to express are very warm and positive. It has been determined in advance to be used in the finals .

Among the remaining four short stories, after thousands of choices, he finally chose "The Necklace" as his entry for the seven-star literature cup audition stage.

introduce.

This work called "The Necklace" has a total of 5700 words. Its author, Maupassant, created it in 1884. He used the method of describing people with objects, and took the necklace as a main line. Starting from its multiple relationships with the characters, he used it to firmly The behavior, language and psychological activities of the characters are firmly tied, so that readers can see the image of the heroine at a glance through the necklace.

Maupassant.

Known as a master of short stories in the world, he is good at extracting typical fragments from ordinary and trivial things, and summarizing the reality of life from a small perspective.His short stories focus on the description of human conditions and the state of the world, with unique ideas and layouts, as well as unique details, character language and story endings.

Just took a look at the entries of the 100 contestants on public display today——

The conclusion reached is only six words: the gap in strength is huge!

The most outstanding entries have already broken through five figures and tens of thousands of readers' likes at this time, while some of the more bleak works are even struggling in the quagmire of single-digit readers' likes. He was also curious whether these short stories were really poorly written or whether they were not noticed due to various factors, so he deliberately selected a few of the short stories with the worst number of likes and went in to have a look...

It's really not good.

At least judging from his own eyes, these works that no one cares about are indeed very ordinary, not to mention whether there are any bright spots in the content, not to mention the slightly advanced writing skills, some even the most The basic fluency of the tone was not achieved. It is estimated that the few readers who liked it were all because of your courage to participate in the competition.

Fortunately, when registering for the Seven Star Literature Cup competition, real-name authentication is required for registration. This also saves Li Chungang from having to worry about the "vest" for himself, and directly registers under his real name.

Not to mention a website that looks very ordinary, it actually has a lot of functions!

There is a comment area for contestants to express dynamics and personal comments. There is also a comment area for readers to speak freely under each entry, and each contestant also has a content for receiving private messages from the background, but in general In addition to the notification content sent by the backstage of the event organizer, no one will send you a message.

Of course, the competition party considers that many people have already prepared their entries in advance, so there is no need for contestants to type out their entries word by word in the background of their website and then upload them. A simple copy and paste can upload successfully up.

[The most beautiful women in the world are often, as if by accident of fate, born in a family of small clerks; the one we are going to talk about is just like that.She has no dowry property, no hope, no way of making a rich and powerful man know her, understand her, love her, and marry her; married.

...]

5 minute later.

Li Chungang roughly browsed through the entry notices, probably the same set of coming and going, what if there is plagiarism and the like will be disqualified from the competition, and so on, and this also forces every contestant to read the entry before uploading the entry. It takes 3 minutes to officially complete the upload of the work.

After clicking "Agree", the original color is gray and cannot be used, and the submit button is lit. Click the "Submit" button again and the website page jumps instantly, prompting:

"Congratulations, Li Chungang, your entry "Necklace" has been successfully submitted. Thank you for participating in the No.17 Seven Star Literature Cup. I sincerely wish you good results in this competition!"

There are a total of 60 characters including punctuation marks. It is estimated that except for the three characters of his own name "Li Chungang", the rest are programmed by the programmer in advance and automatically sent to each contestant who uploads a successful entry.

Exactly at this time.

The dormitory has been opened since someone entered the dormitory without seeing the person and heard the voice first: "The person who cooks cooks the soul, and the person who cooks eats with a bowl! Ouch, Chun Gang, do you have no class this morning? You are actually in the dormitory, which is rare. ah."

"It's not thanks to the Seven Star Literature Cup. For our Faculty of Liberal Arts, this is the top priority of every student in the college. Professional courses have almost become tutoring classes for participating students, and on the first day The teachers have already said that the assessment of this year's professional courses will be based on the entries."

"It's great now. All the students who didn't have any thoughts at first are like chicken blood. They put in all their energy to prepare their works there. Anyway, it doesn't matter whether they can make it to the finals. They have to pass the professional courses, right?"

After listening to Li Chungang's words, Su Yu's expression was somewhat weird, but he fell behind him and patted his shoulder and said: "Actually, this is normal, and our school of information is actually not bad. You use works as professional assessments. We It is to program and design works by yourself.”

"If you don't eat actively, you have a problem with your head! Let's go, cook~"

"You just have a problem with your head. Didn't you see that I just finished uploading the entry."

"Hi! It's rare for a domestic college student to win you, Li Chungang. I think the trophy is already waving to you at this time."

"Aren't you saying 'bye' to me by waving?"

"You are so funny~"

"..."

Who is humorous with you old man? Li Chungang is not as optimistic as Su Yu said. Who knows if there will be some monstrous college students in this session. It's hard to say who will win the championship. Especially the rival "Yanjing University", who is absolutely 100% hiding some trump card waiting to appear at the Seven Star Literature Cup, killing all parties in one fell swoop and winning the championship again.

Chapter 420 False

Master Chungang published a short story?

All the fans who followed Li Chungang's Weibo received this dynamic push, and the first reaction of many fans who received this dynamic push was——

The old thief Chungang still has the energy to study short stories?Isn't it far from his limit to double open every day and five shifts?

It is normal to have such thoughts.

You must know that traditional short stories are not like online articles. There are too many details in them. Typos and grammar are just the most basic things. If you make mistakes in the most basic things, others will criticize you.

However, Li Chungang is obviously not in this ranks. How dare he go to Liangshan without three-thirds? Some readers and fans still remember that their favorite old thief Chungang once wrote a well-known "Youth Talk" in China. In terms of literary skills Still not too much to worry about.

His blatant "cheating" method of soliciting votes for himself is beyond the envy of other contestants, and there is no way to stand up and criticize this behavior as inappropriate. If you have fans, you can also do so.

When the fans clicked in through the link provided by the Weibo feed, they realized that it was not just a random short story, but that it was going to participate in the Seven Star Literature Cup competition. Now many people didn't know about the Seven Star Literature Cup. What it is, I understand now.

It is estimated that even if the event organizer finds out about this, they will applaud it!Because this is an excellent opportunity for nothing to expand the influence of the Seven Star Literature Cup, the more opportunities like this, the better!

Whether online novels are mental medicine or mental poison has not been determined for a long time. Most people read novels in their spare time to relax their body and mind, and some people are so addicted to them that they can't help themselves, even to the point of forgetting to eat and sleep.

For example, Zhu Junyu, a high school student in the mountain city of Chongqing, is one of the people who read novels and saw the state of forgetting to eat and sleep.

"There is no objection to your reading at home, but you should read more nutritious books instead of just reading those online novels with a mobile phone and laughing."

Zhu Junyu's elder sister is Zhu Huixin, who has always been the most opposed to her younger brother reading online novels in the family. Every time she catches the opportunity, she can't help but reprimand her younger brother Zhu Junyu.

Because she has also read these online novels that many teenagers now regard as bibles. Well, in the end, these girls all became the wives of the protagonist, and occasionally there are some content in the text description that the speed of the car exceeds [-] mph...

"I've said it a hundred times, and now I'll tell you a hundred and one times!"

Younger brother Zhu Junyu did not raise his head to refute Zhu Huixin: ""Sword Come" is different from those vulgar novels. This novel is full of positive energy, and many girls like this novel very much. I like it even more. The author is different from ordinary web writers, he just published a short story to participate in the competition."

"real or fake?"

Zhu Huixin expressed doubts.

She just sat next to her brother and stared at the computer screen. The webpage on the computer was opening the page of the Seven Star Literature Cup event that she just clicked on the link to jump to: "Didn't you just say that you like that author who posted a short story? See what he wrote."

"Short stories are not online novels."

"I don't care if it's a short story or an internet one, as long as it's a novel, it's fine if it's written by the same person."

"Then you can watch "Full-time Master" or "Sword Come". I will show you on my mobile phone, and I have subscribed to both."

"Don't be so troublesome. Sometimes you can understand a person through words. I want to read short stories." The feeling of killing if you do it.

"It's not yet time for the exhibition of the works of the great god Chungang, and it may take a few days to line up."

"uh-huh!?"

"Really, really, really, look here, the competition rules are clearly written on them, I didn't just talk nonsense." Facing his sister's very distrustful eyes, Zhu Junyu quickly found the Seven Star Literature Cup competition rules. Bar showed her with his finger.

"Okay! Don't just fool around like this, show it to me whenever you show it, or... Hehe, you will know what it's like to cut off your financial resources."

"Yes, sir!"

Because of Li Chungang's personal Weibo promotion, his entry "Necklace" became popular before it was shown, and everyone was eagerly looking forward to the exhibition period of this short story to see how many eyes Lord Ma has.

The organizers of the competition probably also got the news about this. They thought they would have to wait for three to five days before entering the exhibition period. Unexpectedly, among the [-] entries displayed on the second day, Li Chungang, whom many people were waiting for, appeared. Entries.

Title of work: "Necklace" Author: Li Chungang (Tsinghua University)

The content of the short story is very simple, click to open it at a glance.

At the beginning of the story, Mathilde is a "beautiful and charming woman", because "there is no dowry property", and "there is no way for a man with money and status to know her, understand her, love her, and marry her." ", and later could only "make do with it" and "marry a small clerk from the Ministry of Education" because of dissatisfaction and desire for change.

Wanting to perform well in front of his sister, Zhu Junyu, who wanted to fight for some pocket money by the way, had already called Zhu Huixin to watch "The Necklace" the moment it was released.

Zhu Huixin in front of the computer felt a little surprised.

This Li Chungang's brain hole is really interesting.

There seems to be a bit of criticism in the text. In the story, the heroine went to a friend to borrow a necklace because of her vanity, but she never thought that the pearl necklace borrowed from her friend was actually a fake.

But how does the story continue?

As soon as this thought occurred to Zhu Huixin, she saw the following reversed text:

【I gave you another pair that is exactly the same.In order to buy it, we paid off the debt for a full ten years.You know, it's not an easy job for us, we've been left with nothing.Finally it's all over; I couldn't be happier. "

Madame Forestier stopped.

"You just said you bought a diamond necklace to replace mine?"

"Yeah. You don't see that, do you? They're really alike."

She smiled, proudly and innocently congratulating herself.

Madame Forestier, greatly astonished, seized her both hands:

"Oh! Poor Mathilde! My pair is fake. It's worth five hundred francs at most!..."]

All descriptions stop here.

Chapter 421 A Different Web Article Author

Leave blank.

A technique commonly used in the creation of literary works refers to intentionally leaving corresponding blanks and room for imagination in the artistic creation of calligraphy and painting in order to make the entire picture and composition of the work more harmonious and exquisite.

Just when most of them are talking about the heroine losing her friend's pearl necklace because of her love of vanity, so that she has worked hard for ten years just to pay off her debts and her face is aging...

At the end, a good friend's answer made everyone's hairs tremble, and it also made them realize that the original plot could have such a reversal!

It's just that the crew of the whole short story stopped abruptly here, and what happened later is the "blank space" left by the author for the readers, which is more impactful than directly telling you the follow-up plot!

"It took ten years of time and effort to repay it, but it turned out to be fake."

This ending can be said to be completely beyond Zhu Huixin's expectations, so much so that she couldn't help exclaiming: "The necklace is actually fake!"

"what?"

The younger brother on the side was a little strange, he didn't understand how my sister looked at it and it became so strange. He still reads the content of this short story. It is simply boring for most readers, and his reading speed is not fast, and he has not had time to see the reversal of the plot. He only feels that the heroine's love for vanity has led to his end is very satisfying.

Zhu Huixin didn't talk to her younger brother, but took out her mobile phone to log in to her Weibo account, searched for Li Chungang's Weibo account and paid attention immediately, and then replied:

"This is a very talented author, his novel... should be worth reading!"

"real!?"

Zhu Junyu didn't care to continue reading the "Necklace" in front of him, but after hearing what his sister said, he seemed to think that he had auditory hallucinations and didn't want to believe it. He jumped up from his seat because he started watching it. After so many years of online novels, for the first time, my sister Zhu Huixin took the initiative to say that a novel written by an online author is worth reading. Does this mean...

Will I be able to read novels openly in front of my sister in the future?
