Chapter 79 079 Online Writing Competition Background

Chapter 79

“There are still quite a few people this year.”

The online writing competition is held every three years, and usually the four galaxies, namely, the Blue Galaxy, the Abyss Galaxy, the Vast Ocean Galaxy and the Black Eye Galaxy, select representative works to participate in the competition.

The Blue Galaxy entered the competition the latest, and its ranking in previous selections has been relatively low. It can be considered a fellow sufferer with the Abyss Galaxy next door.

[This year is probably going to be the same again...]

[The faces of those people in the Hanhai Galaxy are really too ugly. Is the voting channel open? I must argue with them this year and avenge my previous shame! ]

[Not yet... but maybe not this year. This year, Sculpture Entertainment chose "Palace Concubine". This article should get a lot of votes, right?]

[I think, in the end, it will probably be the Hanhai Galaxy that wins.]

[Why is someone treating Teriyaki Chicken Legs as a god again? Don’t forget, when Qiao Da participated in the competition before, there was also a group of people who swore that Qiao Da had a lot of fans, but in the end, he still lost miserably. I am really impressed.]

[Anyway, our Blue Galaxy is definitely not as good as theirs. You guys have read the previous contestants' essays, right? Objectively speaking, do you really think Qiao Da's essay is better than theirs? ]

The forum was silent.

[This year, we changed to teriyaki chicken drumsticks. 】

…

The Interstellar Online Literature Competition can be regarded as a grand event for the entire online literature circle. Although its influence is not as great as that of the Interstellar Mecha Competition, it is also a reflection of the soft power of the culture of each galaxy.

During the online writing competition, voting channels were opened in each galaxy. During the period when the channels were open, readers from each galaxy could enter and speak freely, and they could also appreciate online writing works from other galaxies.

Readers were also very active during the competition.

Although online writing competitions are not as exciting as sports competitions and mecha battles, rankings are equally important to readers.

Naturally, I hope that people who share the same interests will appreciate the writings that I support.

If your company ranks too low, you will always be ridiculed.

When Cheese Bean informed Lin Shu, Lin Shu had not yet realized the importance of this competition until he saw that the online literature section was endlessly warming up for the competition. Even in areas unrelated to the online literature section on Starnet, large posters of participating articles were posted.

Lin Shu occasionally went out for a stroll. When the hovercraft came closer from afar, the names of "Palace Concubine" and "A Cluster of Fireflies" were faintly heard in the air.

Lin Shu: “…”

To him, it all seemed a bit exaggerated.

Pray that they will win.

[Top ten, top ten, ten, ten! ! ]

[Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! 】

Four galaxies competed, and the Blue Galaxy had three places. Logically, the standards for other galaxies should be the same, that is, a total of twelve articles. So no matter what, the Blue Galaxy must have an article in the top ten.

But the fact is - since the Blue Galaxy ranks last every time, the Blue Galaxy has three places, the Abyss Galaxy has five places, and the Vast Sea Galaxy, which ranks first, has ten articles participating in the competition.

The situation of the Blue Galaxy suddenly became awkward.

The competition is divided into reader voting, expert voting... After comprehensive consideration, each online article is ranked. Although the competition process is complicated, it is quite formal.

Readers from each galaxy have their own favorite online articles, but personal votes are not the only ones. Expert votes also account for a large proportion. Therefore, all in all, the final result is relatively fair and just.

Good articles that are truly appreciated by the public will stand out.

For example, a certain champion "Assassination Plan" was remade into "The Vast Sea Galaxy" and "The Black Eye Galaxy" respectively, and it is said that a remake of "The Abyss Galaxy" is also underway.

Classics will never lack an audience.

The competition is even conducted in the form of live broadcast, and the votes received by each online article will be fed back in real time in the channel.

For powerful and popular articles, this is an opportunity to become famous throughout the universe, but for articles that lag behind in the rankings... the situation is a bit bad.

Everyone can see that you are lagging behind.

Of course, participating in the competition itself is a huge publicity event. Every online article can gain huge traffic during the competition period. Even controversial online articles will inevitably gain the support of a large number of readers during this period.

"Isn't this just a talent show?" Lin Shu muttered silently.

The routine was exactly the same as the talent show he had in his previous life.

As for the entertainment industry in the Blue Galaxy... as far as Lin Shu knows, there has not been a single talent show held yet.

School training + scout system is still the main way for stars to make their debut.

So for the next book, how about trying a talent show article?

…

In a sense, "Palace Concubine" was a great success. The unpopularity of ancient themes has become a paradox. During the serialization of "Palace Concubine", there were obviously more ancient themes on the new book list.

Although "Palace Fighting" has not yet become popular, the official system in "Palace Concubines" almost created a template for ancient literary writing.

Since the completion of "Palace Concubine", ancient themes have clearly shown a trend of turning from cold to warm.

Therefore, Cheese Bean doesn’t care what the subject of Lin Shu’s next book is. Since “Palace Concubine” was a hit, it would be easy for Lin Shu to succeed in writing other subjects, right?

The editor was full of confidence in himself, but Lin Shu was quite hesitant.

His plan is to write a story about a domineering CEO, or simply a story about a tragic love relationship. If the latter is really published, the online literature section will probably be very lively. After all, to some extent, the theme of tragic love has become Qiao Da's exclusive.

Or write an ABO?

The interstellar background is perfect for writing ABO, and he even has a ready-made prototype if he wants to mix in some mecha war plots.

But Lin Shu changed his mind and realized that if he really wrote ABO, Xie Dora would make a fuss.

Although he hadn't even started to think about it, Lin Shu was certain that Xie Dora would definitely make a fuss.

Until now, the talent show joke appeared in Lin Shu's mind.

The protagonist's career can be expanded from talent shows to other areas of the entertainment industry... The entertainment industry is a long-lasting theme in the online literature circle. In Lin Shu's previous life, the earliest entertainment industry themes were basically actors VS actors, with emotions as the main focus and filming as a supplement.

Later, there were more and more articles about talent shows, dating variety shows, and overseas entertainment circles... There were articles that reflected the current entertainment industry, and there were also articles about the entertainment industry that pushed the background back several decades.

For Lin Shu, this is a relatively easy subject to write about.

He is a writer who is good at writing career stories and doesn't write many romance stories. Of course, Lin Shu is still able to add some romance stories while maintaining his career layout.

"Will the next book be about the entertainment industry?" Ling Luo asked curiously, "The one with the main career line? That's what I know."

Ling Luo has also written about the entertainment industry, which is a subject often chosen by authors. However, in Ling Luo's opinion, even though he is also writing about the entertainment industry, Lin Shu may be able to write in a way that other authors don't.

Lin Shu has written three articles so far, each of which has left a deep impression on people.

"Chicken Leg, help me, show me the beginning of the new article!"

He took a leave during the serialization period of Guju, and continued to procrastinate after it was finished. Finally, when he could not delay any longer, he finally managed to write the beginning of the three chapters of the new article.

Guju hasn't written for a while. The less I write online, the less I'll write, and over time, it will become more out of touch with popular elements.

Guju is considered an author with a good reputation under Karaen, with many loyal readers. If he does not write, Lin Shu and Ling Luo will be deeply persecuted, and Guju's readers will often come to them.

"I think it's pretty good." Ling Luo had already read the beginning for Guju.

Guju actually hesitated whether to ask Lin Shu for help. After all, times have changed. When the three of them first met, "Cooking Food" had just started to become popular, but now, Lin Shu is already an author who can represent the entire online literature section.

Some authors are very sensitive when it comes to reading their articles.

The reason why Joda has a mediocre reputation in the author circle is because he had a good relationship with a certain author before. They showed off their friendship on Star Network. As a result, the other party asked Joda to read the article. Joda helped with guidance at the time, but after the author published the article, Joda posted on the homepage of Star Network, implying that the other party borrowed his inspiration without permission.

He has a lot of fans, and they are "well-intentioned mentors." How can his fans tolerate their good intentions being betrayed?

Naturally, the author has endured endless abuse since the article was first published, and the article was completed before it even made it to the shelves.

But for the author, the nightmare did not end there. When he wrote the next article and the next one, his fans still kept on scolding him, calling him a thief.

This author was once a rising star of the Knicks, but his writing career was ruined just like that.

Guju knew that Lin Shu was not the same kind of person as Qiao Da, but things were different now.

But he needs Lin Shu to give him a little more confidence.

"OK."

After receiving the reply, Guju sent an excited emoticon.

Lin Shu accepted his manuscript, but Guju was still a little worried. What if Lin Shu...

While Gujiu was struggling, Lin Shu had already knocked him.

"Is this a passionate battle theme?"

"Yes!" Gujiu became excited.

"Then I think that this part of the description at the beginning is a bit redundant. Although it is to introduce the background, too much description will reduce the appeal of the main text..."

"Um!"

"Um!"

"Um!"

After chatting with Lin Shu, Guju silently sent Ling Luo a happy puppy emoticon: "Hehehe!"

"It's worthy of being called a chicken drumstick, it's amazing!"

His book is also a plot-based one, so he wanted to ask Lin Shu for help. Although the other party had never written a book on the subject of mecha combat, he analyzed the highlights of his first three chapters.

Moreover, Lin Shu never expressed the idea of "you should listen to me" throughout the whole process. Instead, he respected his opinions very much.

It is generally recognized in the author circle that Teriyaki Chicken Leg is a talented author. After all, he has written three popular and creative works. It is impossible not to admit that he is a talented author. However, during the conversation, Guju felt that he was very humble and rigorous.

To be precise, Lin Shu respects writing very much and does not have any perfunctory thoughts throughout the whole process. This is true for his own writing and for Guju's writing.

Guju felt nothing but admiration in his heart.

If it were someone else, with three very popular articles and the identity of a healer, I'm afraid no one would know where he would have gone.

When Guju was still a young author, someone in his batch ascended to heaven, and he was the one who was removed from the friend group and had his account deleted.

Later he became famous and the other party added him back. Guju just thought it was ridiculous.

…

Guju plans to publish a new article in a week, and Lin Shu also plans to save up some manuscripts first. He plans to write the new article on the entertainment industry, and write it in a lighter and less heavy tone.

While Lin Shu was preparing for his new article, the StarCraft Online Literature Competition officially kicked off. The overall traffic of the online literature section even declined as a result, and readers' attention was focused on the competition.
