Chapter 302
Seeing that Qian Jian had not responded yet, Zhang Yucheng thought that the other party was not interested again. When she was about to say something, Qian Jian on the other side spoke: "What are the rules of your event?"
Hearing Qian Jian's question, Zhang Yucheng smiled, she knew that the other party was finally interested.
As long as he is interested, it will be easy!
She hurriedly said: "For this event, we have adopted a brand-new rule. All the works of more than 40 writers are anonymous, which means that readers can only see the works, but they don't know who the author of this work is. The final vote is also made by readers. We, the organizer, will not interfere in the whole process."
"The subject matter of short stories is not limited, only the number of words is limited. The total number of words must not exceed 10,000 words. In the past, it was not more than 20,000 words, but I think we can try to reduce the number of words this year. After all, the fewer words in a short story, the more interesting it is..."
Zhang Yucheng paused and continued: "And this time, we also plan to cooperate with Weike, and both parties will do publicity together. This kind of promotion through the Internet will definitely be bigger than before..."
Bai Qianqu pretended to think.
"Lin Yi" does have a very wide readership. Their magazine has far more readers than other magazines. In addition, with the cooperation with Weike this time, the number of readers attracted must be amazing.
"To be honest, this event is also the first to adopt anonymity, and it is also considered to reduce the influence of the writer's fame on the work as much as possible. In the future, this model may be held for a long time in the form of a music chart, and a short story chart will also be launched."
"That's it for now. Are you willing to participate?"
Bai Qianqu did not give a direct answer. He said, "I'll think about it."
Of course, although he said he was considering it, he had decided to participate, but he wanted to collect more information before making a decision.
"Okay," Zhang Yucheng also knew Bai Qianqu's idea and did not force it. "You can add my contact number. If you have an answer, please call me as soon as possible. Our event will be held in May, and the deadline will be advanced by one month."
"Okay, I know."
Zhang Yucheng hung up the phone. Although Qianjian did not agree directly, she believed that the other party would definitely agree in the end. After all, from Qianjian's tone just now, it was obvious that he was interested.
Originally, this event did not intend to invite Qianjian. This was a temporary decision she made.
This was also to verify Qianjian's strength again.
As long as the other party can get a medium ranking, it proves that the other party is not lucky, but really has strength!
At that time, I will dig him over no matter what!
......
Bai Qianqu was thoughtful after the call ended. He checked the Internet and saw the event mentioned by Zhang Yucheng.
A total of 45 short story writers were invited!
The works will be anonymous!
Each reader has three voting opportunities!
Finally, the ranking will be determined by the number of votes from readers!
And only at that time will the name of the author of each work be displayed.
The rules of this activity are very novel, and once released, they have attracted the interest of many readers.
On the day Bai Qianqu agreed to participate, "Lin Yi" announced the news of the activity, and the comment area was very hot.
"They actually hide the author's name. Then won't we readers know who wrote this work?"
"That's interesting. Without the filter of the great author, what's left is a competition of hard power!"
"Yes, the great author has too many fans. Just in terms of fan voting, the small author can't compete at all. I think this event is very good. Competition on the same stage should be fair. We are not in the entertainment industry, so why do we need idol effect?"
"That's right, and this competition is a joint effort between "Lin Yi" and Wei Ke, which will definitely bring fresh blood to our short story circle! I look forward to the start of this competition!"
"It's a pity that we have to wait until May, but the list of invited authors seems to have been released."
"I've seen it. Most of them are very famous writers. It seems that "Lin Yi" attaches great importance to this competition."
"What the hell, what did I see? Isn't this Qian Jian? He was also invited to participate in this competition?"
Everyone was a little surprised, but after thinking about it, they felt it was nothing.
"Qian Jian is the champion of the last short story contest, and he also published his masterpiece "The Gift of the Magi" during the Chinese New Year. It's normal for him to participate in this competition."
"Qian Jian's reputation in the field of short stories is on the rise, and his short story readers are alsoMore and more, probably want to deepen their research in this field, right? "
"It should be like this... However, the overall level of the authors participating in this competition has improved a lot. The more than 40 writers invited by "Lin Yi" are all carefully selected writers. It may not be so easy for Qian Jian to get a good ranking this time."
"That's not necessarily true," someone objected, "I think Qian Jian's ability is probably not much worse than those so-called great writers. He just has fewer works at present, and his reputation in short stories and even in the literary world is not as great as those old writers. Look at the works he has published, which one is not a masterpiece? Which one is not as good as those great writers? "
Everyone thought about it and it seemed to be true. They also understood more and more why "Lin Yi" invited Qian Jian.
It is likely that "Lin Yi" also chose to invite Qian Jian because of his ability, and let him compete with those big-name writers.
But within a few days, a surprising thing soon came out.
"Lin Yi" held an event, and another magazine called "Reader" also held an event at the same time!
The first to know the news was naturally "Lin Yi". They originally planned to invite Yang Yagang, but they were directly rejected by the other party!
Who is Yang Yagang ?
One of the three most recognized writers in the field of short stories in China!
Known as one of the three horses in the field of short stories!
The original meaning of the troika is that three horses pull a car. In ancient times, there was no so-called cavalry in the army, only chariots, which were two horses pulling a car, so the number of horses pulling the car was used to distinguish the status.
The chariot of the commander-in-chief of the central army is different from others. It is pulled by three horses, also called the "troika", which is the symbol of the commander-in-chief. This is a treatment only for the emperor level, so the word "troika" also has the best and most luxurious meaning.
