The celebration party for "The Princess' New Clothes" has been held for several days, and the finale will finally come tonight.
Mrs. Wang’s use of this play as an example is very convincing.
From the beginning to the end of this drama, the hero and heroine never fell in love, which is completely inconsistent with the routine of general youth idol dramas. It also crushed "Emerald Forest" to the ground.
The ratings cannot be faked. As Mrs. Wang said, the audience’s reaction is the most intuitive indicator of whether a TV series is good or not!
Similarly, for excellent creative essays, readers' opinions are also very important.
Readers’ literary literacy may vary, and their preferences may be different, but those long-lasting literary masterpieces and beautiful poems passed down from generation to generation, which one was not chosen by the readers themselves?
However, no previous essay competition has included "reader voting" in the selection mechanism, and the judges directly selected the winning works.
Apart from particularly prestigious literary awards, most essay competitions fail to make much of a splash. Only people in the literary circle play them among themselves, isolating the general public from the game.
The popularity of the "New Concept Composition Competition" was initially due to the fact that winning the competition was associated with admission to prestigious universities. Later, the winning contestants became famous and had a role model effect.
In addition to the New Concept Writing Competition, are there any other new essay competitions emerging?
Not one.
Essay writing competitions have become a synonym for a small group of people pursuing their own interests.
The literary circle doesn't play with ordinary readers. Over time, readers don't want to pay attention to what's happening in the literary circle.
The creative essay contest proposed by Wen Ying is different. Its original purpose was to spend money for Mrs. Wang... Ah, bah, bah, bah, I said it wrong. It was to promote "Xinghuo", let more people know about "Xinghuo", and increase the sales of the magazine!
It would be really useful to let readers participate in the award judging.
Readers who have voted will definitely want to see the final results, and they will buy another issue of the magazine to see the final results. Isn’t this reader stickiness!
"I think we can give it a try."
Yuan Fenghui was the first to come to his senses.
When faced with enough benefits, Yuan Fenghui immediately cast aside his awe of the seriousness of literature.
Readers who participate in the voting may become the audience for film and television adaptations of award-winning works in the future. The higher the reader participation, the greater the possibility of paying for the film and television adaptations of the works!
Yuan Fenghui also wanted to persuade Zou Weijun not to be so pedantic and quickly agree to this proposal. The one who would benefit the most from this matter would be Spark magazine, and Tianjiao would come second.
Before Yuan Fenghui could persuade him, Zou Weijun laughed first:
"What are you all looking at me for? Do you think I would object? I just didn't expect such a method to work for a moment, and I'm a little surprised, that's all."
Mrs. Wang flattered her ferociously, "I knew you wouldn't object, Sister Zou. I've admired you ever since 'Hush, Little Secret' came out. Only an open-minded person could plan a book like this!"
She was Editor-in-Chief Zou just now, and now she is Sister Zou.
This is how Chen Ru fell into the trap two days ago.
Although Wang Shuang is older than Wen Ying and Xie Qian, Mrs. Wang is younger than Chen Ru and Zou Weijun. It’s not wrong to address her like this, but it’s too familiar!
Zou Weijun's cheeks flushed slightly at Mrs. Wang's enthusiastic flattery. He did not bother to correct the way she addressed Mrs. Wang. He did not hesitate to admit that he was indeed hesitant when he first heard Wen Ying's suggestion, but for the development of "Xinghuo" magazine, Zou Weijun suppressed his hesitation and was willing to try the "reader vote" proposed by Wen Ying.
Zou Weijun agreed with Wen Ying's emphasis on the length limit for the manuscript, and also offered his own additional comments:
"For short stories, it's better to limit the word count to 5,000 words, which is suitable for magazine publication. But since we've already held the competition, we shouldn't give up on long stories. Not only does Spark need excellent manuscripts, but the publishing house also needs excellent manuscripts... I'm thinking, can we split the competition into two groups, one for short stories and another for novels?"
Zou Weijun is truly a very qualified editor-in-chief of a publishing house, and he never forgets his job.
Before Wen Ying and Yuan Fenghui expressed their opinions, Mrs. Wang clearly expressed her support, saying, "We must divide it into a long-length novel group. Otherwise, it would be unfair to the authors who wrote long novels."
If she sets up another group and makes it bigger, she can spend more money on Zou Weijun, hehe!
Wen Ying couldn't help but cough lightly, reminding Wang Dakeai to be careful when flattering others. There is usually only a fine line between being a crazy fan and being a complete idiot, so don't overdo it and avoid having the opposite effect.
After receiving Wen Ying's reminder, Mrs. Wang concealed her excitement and tried hard to find reasonable support for Zou Weijun's idea. It had been a long time since she had used her brain, and it was particularly difficult to think about serious matters. However, with the attributes of a veteran TV watcher, Mrs. Wang actually came up with a related one:
"I agree with Sister Zou from Tianjiao's perspective. Short stories are suitable for magazine promotion, while novels are more suitable for TV series adaptation. Setting up another long-form group will benefit Tianjiao."
Stock footage and direct adaptation are two different things.
Short stories can serve as a source material and can be expanded into movies.
The novel has so many words and a richer plot, so it is suitable for making a TV series.
Very good, this reason impressed Yuan Fenghui, and at the same time, Mrs. Wang also impressed Yuan Fenghui - Mrs. Wang must become a proud public relations manager, and any objection from anyone will be ineffective!
Zou Weijun couldn't help laughing.
Although it was my first time dealing with Mrs. Wang, she was such an interesting person.
After reaching a consensus on the general direction, all that remains is to discuss the details.
You can do online publicity. Not only can you do online publicity, you can also conduct online voting. However, doing so will definitely increase the publicity budget.
The competition was officially launched when the first issue of "Spark" magazine was published.
