What should I do if the system forces me to copy books?

"Only novels by this author."

Zhu Huixin glanced sideways at her younger brother Zhu Junyu. She didn't know what was going on in her brother's heart. She knew what he wanted to say as soon as she moved her mouth. With that little ingenuity, she wanted to turn the world upside down. Don't even think about it. Knowing that in the future, I want to read novels in the name of myself, and that's it?dream!

But there is one thing to say, this is indeed the first time that her impression of a writer who writes online novels has changed a lot. Before that, she always thought that Li Chungang was also the kind of writer who wrote brainless and crooked content. Bottom line author.

That doesn't seem to be the case now, at least not entirely.

After Zhu Huixin finished reading this "Necklace", she was stunned by a short story of just over 5000 words. Ai Wu and Wu Xia suddenly became extremely curious about the author's other novels. I can't eat fat, and I can't run without long legs in other works. It doesn't matter if I read it slowly another day. The first thing she wants to do is to take a look at the comment area under "The Necklace". people".

When I opened the comment area, it didn't look right at first glance, and many comments also expressed similar feelings to Zhu Huixin——

"I was on the first floor, and thought the author was on the third floor, but I didn't expect him to be on the fifth floor!"

"Is this really written by the old thief Chungang?"

"Li Chungang and Zhichun Zhigang should be the same person. It's okay to be good at writing online novels, but now they are so good at writing short stories. This will not give other contestants a chance at all."

"I solemnly declare here: the No. 17 Seven Star Literature Cup champion is... Li Chungang!"

"I originally wanted to come here to urge the update of "The Sword Comes", but I didn't expect to be planted by a short story by the old thief Chungang. How could this short story be a kind of satire aimed at the phenomenon of some vanity-loving groups in the current society? , U1S1 it is wonderful!"

"A rare newcomer's work."

"The ending is a magical twist, this 180-degree U-turn is a bit caught off guard!"

"Am I the only one who over-interprets it? I always feel that this article satirizes a lot of social phenomena. Isn't there a female guest on a certain program who threatens to cry on a BMW car rather than laugh on a bicycle? Now look at this An article is really scary to think about.”

"I was disappointed when I saw that it was a short story, but when I finished reading the content, I felt that I could do it again hahahaha."

"I'm better than you!"

"It's true that everyone can do it!"

"..."

In addition to comments, there are many people who thought this article was very good and reposted, shared and appreciated it. It became the well-deserved No.1 among all the entries displayed in this issue, and even broke the previous historical record.

And as many people reposted and shared it, some passers-by who didn't even know Li Chungang began to notice the article "Necklace".

I have to say that the title of the word "necklace" is quite satisfactory, and there are not many so-called gimmicks, but after so many people reprinted and spread it, coupled with the affirmative appreciation of so many readers after reading it, other people naturally agree. Will want to find out.

Appreciation by one person may not be true, and appreciation by several people may not be true, but if a large group of people appreciate it at the same time, then it is true in all likelihood, and pearls are not so true!

So more people took advantage of the trend to read this short story——

That's the advantage of being short!

It doesn’t take too long to read this short story. Although it is different from what I imagined, it doesn’t seem to affect most people’s judgment on this novel. Even some writers in the literary circle The seniors also noticed the short story "The Necklace", and clicked on it to study it carefully.

Every Seven-Star Literature Cup, the competition will invite many literary masters to comment on some excellent entries.

"Shock!"

Among them, quite a few microblog bloggers who are small Internet celebrities have obviously found the knack of gaining popularity: "The short story "Necklace" that must be read in life."

The method is shameful but useful.

Li Chungang himself has the popularity bonus of an Internet writer, coupled with the spontaneous and vigorous publicity of readers, a small piece of "Necklace" suddenly jumped to the hot topic list on Weibo, and in the end even the competition party couldn't help it. Without being alarmed, the official Weibo specially named this short story.

Chapter 422 It's Over Before It Begins

Li Chungang didn't continue to pay attention to "The Necklace" after uploading.

According to the competition schedule, there are only 100 short stories that are publicly displayed every day. In his subconscious, he uploads them two to three days later than other contestants, and the corresponding display time will also be delayed. .

The publicity on Weibo is just random. As for how much it can play, even he himself doesn't care much. If he can't even pass the audition, then it can only explain two problems: 1. Li Chungang My luck is really bad, and no one cares about the work exhibition period; 2. The threshold for the Seven Star Literature Cup is too high!

By the time he logged in to the Seven Star Literature Cup homepage again, it was already the next day.

This day is December 12th. It is not a traditional festival, but it is extremely lively in China.

Because Double Twelve is another hand-chopping carnival after Double Eleven Singles’ Day, every household began to empty out the shopping carts that had been hoarded in certain treasures and certain places before, girls carnivaled like a festival, while boys faced each other Ruosi Hui held a "silent mourning" for his wallet.

As a "quasi-family" man, after Li Chungang returned to the villa from school, he was carried by He Miao to empty her shopping cart before his butt touched Shafa.

"One! Ten! Hundred! Thousand! Ten thousand! More than 4000, what are you buying?"

"It's all useful."

"Can't you just pay this amount yourself?" Li Chungang couldn't understand. The 1 yuan may be a pressure for ordinary families, but for him or He Miao, this amount of money is completely worthless. Not worth mentioning.

He Miao rolled his eyes, glanced at him, and said angrily: "If I pay for this, why do I need you as a husband? You have enjoyed the rights of being a husband from me, shouldn't you also do your best?" It's my duty as a husband."

"I'll do my best. I'll just bind you as a family account with Alipay, so that you can directly deduct the money from me when you pay in the future. Or I can just get you a bank card from my bank card." As for the secondary card, you can bind it directly, anyway, you can come here however you like, even handing over the salary card to you is fine.”

Many men feel that handing over the economic power to their wives will lose their dignity and freedom, but Li Chungang has no worries about this at all. Anyway, after marriage, they are a family. Will there be divisions between you and me in the family?If there is a share, it proves that it is not a real family; if there is no share, then what difference does it make if who controls the economic power?

Li Chungang, who didn't have many shopping ideas before, was driven by He Miao, and suddenly wanted to buy something...

—

"what?"

After Li Chungang picked up things that he could use, not use, or might use in the future for a long time, he suddenly remembered the Seven Star Literature Cup. It was only when he climbed up to take a look that the backstage, which should be honestly empty, turned out to be There are thousands of messages.

This is where the guy who is so idle is trying his best to send a message to his backstage~

After clicking on it, I found that most of these comments were related to the "Necklace" that I participated in.

It took several minutes to figure out the ins and outs of the matter. It turned out that my work, which I thought would be displayed a few days later, suddenly appeared yesterday, and because I did it casually, I promoted it on Weibo. There was a wave, and then the heat came up all at once.

So far, it has received over one million likes from readers!

This number of likes from over a million readers is not an exaggerated statistic compared to some data such as recommendation votes, hits, and favorites of online novels, but it is placed on the Seven Star Literature Cup...

Counting forward the Seven Star Literature Cup of the [-]th session, to put it bluntly, the number of readers’ likes for all the entries in the audition is added together to calculate, and it is very likely that Li Chungang’s "Necklace" won’t get readers’ points every minute Lots of likes.

Not bragging, let alone exaggerating!

The previous three editions of the Seven Star Literature Cup were in the initial stage, and the circle of influence couldn't be more narrow. Not to mention the contestants, even those who knew about the existence of this competition were very few.In the next few sessions, because of ZF's full support behind it, it gradually improved and expanded its influence, and finally became a literary event for college students step by step.

As for some very well-known senior writers in the literary world, many of them participated in the Seven Star Literature Cup when they were young, and achieved good results, and there are not a few who even won the championship!

It is conceivable how influential this event is in the literary circle.

At this time.

Li Chungang's cell phone rang.

I took it out and took a look, it was a completely unfamiliar phone, and the main caller was still unknown, so I hung up without thinking about it.

Less than a minute after the call was hung up, the phone rang again.

Hang up again without hesitation.

Unexpectedly, the other party also persevered and called again for the third time. It was still the same phone number. Although they didn’t know each other, at least this perseverance was commendable. Li Chungang decided to answer after hesitation.

Just connected.

The person on the phone smiled and said, "Mr. Li Chungang?"

Li Chungang said: "I love you, don't make an appointment, save my mother, save my mother, don't regret it, I don't know Amway, I have something to do tomorrow, I don't have much money, I didn't write my homework, I can't do this question, Lanxiang Excavator, New Oriental learns cooking, Eating yogurt and licking the cover, eating potato chips without licking your fingers, the shadow area in your heart is about 9 square centimeters due to the harm I have done to you at this moment. Do you have anything else to do?"

The other end of the phone was stunned for a long time before he came back to his senses: "We are looking for Mr. Li Chungang to talk about the "Necklace"."

It turned out to be because of the short story "The Necklace".

Normally, Li Chungang would not answer this kind of strange phone call if someone hadn't notified him in advance.You should know that under normal circumstances, anyone with a little strength can find out the Wensiquanyong Culture Media Company behind him. If there is any commercial cooperation, just discuss it with the company directly. If it is a private matter...

Pooh!

Wrong your mind, a stranger who even has a mobile phone number with an unknown number is talking about a dick's private matter with a stranger who doesn't know where he belongs.

Li Chungang said: "Be more specific."

The man on the other end of the phone smiled: "Let me introduce myself, Xu Yanzhi, the editor-in-chief of People's Publishing House's "Literature" magazine, I took the liberty to ask you today to discuss cooperation."

Li Chungang asked: "What cooperation?"

The other party said very seriously: "Looking at your entry "Necklace" published in the Seven Star Literature Cup yesterday, I think it is very good. It seems that such a great work can be published in our "Literature" magazine, because we "Literature" magazine is the most authoritative literary magazine in China."

Chapter 423

""literature"?"

After hearing this name, I don’t know why Li Chungang always has a sense of familiarity. I always feel that when and where I have a connection or relationship with this magazine. of.

"That's right. Speaking of which, Mr. Li Chungang's works were once on the cover of a certain issue of our "Literature"!"

"Yes, yes, I will almost forget if you don't tell me!"

When the other party mentioned this, Li Chungang finally remembered it completely. At that time, he was writing his first novel "Ghost Blowing the Lantern", because of the song "Three Thousands of Guests Drunk with Flowers, One Sword, Frost and Cold" when he released the single chapter. Four States" appeared on the cover of that issue of "Literature" magazine.

Speaking of that issue of "Literature" magazine, the People's Publishing House sent him a sample, but later...

I borrowed it from each other and circulated it to the students in the class for a long time. When I think about it again, I don’t know who got it, and it may even disappear. I think it's over.

Looking back now, it's a bit of a pity.

"I don't know what kind of cooperation method Editor-in-Chief Xu wants?"

"A thousand words and five thousand!"

The other party didn't write any ink, and made a quotation very straightforwardly: "One thousand words is 5000 yuan. We have calculated that the full text of "Necklace" is about 700 words. We can give you a price of [-] words. Let’s count, including your works during the preliminaries and finals of the Seven Star Literature Cup, we can cooperate and publish them in the "Literature" magazine at this price, of course, the premise is that your works must pass the review of our editorial department."

Li Chungang frowned: "Too little."

If this price is placed on a traditional literary writer, it may not be low at all, and it may even exceed the industry standard. Not too much.

"What do you mean?"

Just kicked the ball over there.

Li Chungang is most afraid of this kind of problem, otherwise he would not have thought of finding a literary agent because he didn't want to bother with such things, and he would not have invested in the studio in the future, let alone develop into a cultural media company step by step. Today is today, but he can continue to play Tai Chi with the other party: "Your "Literature" is a leader in the industry in this regard, and you should be better than a layman like me. I can send you another novel, you Let’s see how the content is before quoting. If I think it’s suitable, we’ll cooperate. If it’s not suitable…”

He didn't say what would happen if he said something completely inappropriate, but the meaning he wanted to express couldn't be more obvious.

Want to collaborate?no problem!

The premise is that your price must be suitable. You cannot say that your "Literature" is the most well-known and authoritative literary magazine in China, and you can say that the store is bullying customers. This is impossible and does not exist. Li Chungang is also a well-known platinum author in the online literary world.

In a word, after all: you have to add money!

"Okay, my email is..."

Xu Yanzhi on the other end of the phone felt that what Li Chungang said was also very reasonable. Although the content of the short story "Necklace" is indeed very good, it can even be said to be a rare excellent short story in recent years, but only one sentence does not explain much. , Maybe it’s just a flash in the pan, not to mention that “The Necklace” has already appeared on the Seven Star Literature Cup, and a large number of readers who love short stories have also read it, so the value of the publication will be greatly reduced, but all of this If it is not a flash in the pan, but the best manifestation of Li Chungang's cultural foundation, then it is worth their publishing house to pay a higher price to win him over.

"New short stories will be sent to you tomorrow."

"Ah? Didn't you already write it? Do you mean to plan to write it in one day?"

"Isn't it okay to write in a day?"

"No... yes, yes, but... isn't one day too short?" The other party was a little dumbfounded.

This young man doesn't talk about martial arts. How can someone study a short story in only one day, let alone that there is not so much time in a day, and you have to deduct food, sleep, and other miscellaneous things to meet physiological needs.

Li Chungang said: "Let's talk then, goodbye."

Li Chungang did say that he hung up the phone as soon as he hung up, and he was not procrastinating at all. On the contrary, Xu Yanzhi, who wanted to ask some details about short stories, became confused in the wind alone, and at the same time, his mind was full of how the other party completed a story in one day. The Doubts of an excellent short story.

From the perspective of normal people's thinking-

There are only two possibilities: either the other party is just writing nonsense to cover himself; or the other party has already prepared several short stories for the Seven Star Literature Cup, and the reason why he proposed a day is nothing more than deliberately hanging himself , but it’s wrong to think about it again... because no matter how you think about it, there is no need for the other party to do this.

It can only be said that these old guys can't understand the thoughts of young people now!

According to Xu Yanzhi's own understanding, Li Chungang's day is probably really a day. If you subtract today and add tomorrow, you will be able to read the so-called short stories at the earliest day after tomorrow. This is the only way that can be explained clearly and is more understandable.

Day two.

When Xu Yanzhi, the editor-in-chief, sat down at his desk again, he found that he had received a manuscript in his mailbox, which was a short story by Li Chungang called "Maggie's Gift".

what's the situation! ?

He was full of question marks.

Isn't it the time of the day? Isn't the day in my cognition the same "day" as the day Li Chungang said?In my understanding, the other party will not be able to send the short story until the day after tomorrow at the earliest, and I have even been mentally prepared that this time may be longer, but the other party’s understanding of the day is probably that the time spans from the 12th to the 13th, so Simple!

When he opened this short story called "Maggie's Gift", Xu Yanzhi was not in a hurry to browse the content. The first step was to look at the word count, and found that it was only [-] words. The second is relieved, and this can explain why it can be completed in such a short time.
