Chapter 230 Don't rely on your face to eat
At 8 o'clock in the evening, Wu Xiaotian was holding his notebook at home and sat on the sofa with Beibei, typing while accompanying him to watch cartoons. Although it was a one-on-one purpose, it did not affect anything.
At this time, the online promotional video of the Chinese Literature Grand Prix came out.
"No matter who it is, as long as you want."
"We respect every author, and we respect every work."
"As long as you hold a pen in your hand, you are willing to think and write."
"Then, maybe you will be the winner of this competition."
"Everything is included, the sea embraces all rivers!"
This is the beginning of the promotional video, and it is a passionate promotional slogan.
Then, there were interviews with several veteran martial arts writers.
The first is Mu Juechen. He wore a long gown and stood in front of a row of antique bookshelf and said, "I appreciate this competition very much. It will not only attract many people to participate, but will also drive the development of Chinese literature and correct the inappropriate writing style in recent years."
Mu Juechen pursed his lips and continued: "In recent years, although there have been many works of Chinese martial arts novels and many newcomers, there are not many truly talented ones."
"So, I believe that this competition will definitely remove platinum, extract the essence, and dig out some buried works and authors, adding real talent to my Chinese culture."
After Mu Juechen, several more martial arts writers appeared.
Master August also spoke, a famous martial arts master who has been famous for nearly 20 years.
He said sharply and bluntly: "Recently young writers do not fear the most to win, but become famous by hype. Some hype techniques such as 'beautiful writers', 'all-round artists', 'young writers', etc., not only confuses readers, but also leads Chinese martial arts novels to go astray. In this competition, we older generation writers returned to the world to let people know what real martial arts novels are."
Another Feng Xiaoyu was even more straightforward. He said boldly: "This competition is to make the best time to reappear true martial arts novels. It is time for young martial arts writers who rely on their face to wake up. They are still young and need to learn too much."
...
Although this promotional video only takes less than three minutes, it explains the purpose and expectations of the Chinese Literature Grand Prix. More importantly, the interviews of several veteran martial arts writers unconcealedly reveal their dissatisfaction with today's martial arts writers.
Weibo talked a lot, and the fans of these famous artists also emerged!
"Damn, it turns out that this competition is quite bold."
"Removing platinum and extracting essences is a good saying. There is too much garbage in martial arts novels today."
"I support Mr. Mu Juechen's words, explore good authors, and add talents to Chinese culture."
"However, Mr. Mu Juechen's words are fine, but if other established authors say this, it will probably cause trouble."
"Yes, criticizing the so-called 'beautiful writer' and 'young celebrity' and so on? This probably will cause a lot of trouble."
As they expected, as soon as this promotional video came out, many younger generation martial arts writers such as Meng Yao and the young celebrity Feng Lotte were dissatisfied. They expressed their opinions and said that they would prove in this competition that their martial arts novels are also classics.
Some radical authors even said that when the elderly are old, they should rest at home and not come out and walk around casually. The current era is the era of young people.
Their fans were even more excited and ran to the official micro broadcast of the Chinese Literature Grand Prix to protest.
"What kind of broken video is this? I only interview these old guys, why don't I interview our Mengyao? She is the beauty of martial arts. Without her, who would know about martial arts novels?"
"And our Feng Lotte, who published a novel of 600,000 words at the age of twelve. I would like to ask, what are you old writers doing when you were 12 years old? Can't Feng Lotte be called a young celebrity?"
"You are too bullying from the organizing committee. You are specializing in protecting those old writers. Just limit the time limit for this competition. You can only participate in it for over 60 years old, which is the best."
"I protest and ask all writers to interview."
Of course, Wu Xiaotian's fans are definitely indispensable.
"You guys are talking nonsense, this is this little Beck who insults us."
"Yes, I protest too. You said you can eat with your face, but our little Beckham never eats with your face."
The conflicts between veteran celebrities and emerging authors, as well as the conflicts between their fans, immediately put this propaganda video in the whirlpool of public opinion.
However, in the face of fierce doubts from all aspects, the organizing committee was no longer at a loss in the afternoon, and they seemed to be prepared for this situation.
Half an hour after the promotional video was released, they posted another message saying that this video was just a representative. They will conduct telephone interviews with each participant in the future competition period and then display them on the secondary page of the voting website.
At around nine o'clock in the evening, Wu Xiaotian received another call from the organizing committee.
"Hey, hello, is it Mr. Wu Xiaotian?" The voice of a young woman on the other end of the phone call this time.
When Wu Xiaotian saw this phone number, he knew the other party’s identity, so he said, “Hello, I am Wu Xiaotian. Are the staff of your organizing committee so dedicated?”
There was a chuckle and said, "Thank you for your compliment. I came here to sit down the phone for you to interview you."
Wu Xiaotian was stunned and asked a little strangely: "Phone interview? Why do you want to interview me?"
The other side explained: "That's right. Our organizing committee decided that in order to let readers better understand the authors' writing motivation and creative thoughts, each author will be interviewed."
Wu Xiaotian became even more surprised when he heard this.
There were thousands of people participating in this competition. If the organizing committee interviewed every author, it would be a very huge project.
"Everyone?" Wu Xiaotian asked again.
"Yes." The other side answered affirmatively.
Wu Xiaotian knew that there must be a story in the middle, so he chatted with the staff while turning on Weibo and quickly found the video.
He quickly watched the entire video and then looked at the comments online, and he could roughly understand the causes and consequences of the matter.
To be honest, he recognized what Mu Juechen and other old men said. There are too many hyped works in the Chinese literary world in this world, and too many good works have been buried.
Chapter completed!
