In the afternoon award ceremony, in addition to the essay competition that Li Luo participated in called "Entertainment a Dream, Urban Spring and Autumn", there were two other awards.
One is among the top ten works of online literature in Qianjiang Province in 2014.
The other is a call for essays on realistic themes "Good stories keep pace with the times".
The selection of the top ten of the year is mainly for those popular works. Basically, after the name is called, any reader who usually reads a lot of online articles will have heard of it.
In contrast, the essay competition called Urban Spring and Autumn that Li Luo participated in was only limited to Qidian's urban category, and the quality was definitely not of the same level.
As for the call for essays on realistic themes...it's more like a task that online writing websites complete regularly and quantitatively every year, which is considered a cross-fertilization task.
Its popularity is probably not as high as that of the Urban Spring and Autumn category essay collection.
But to Li Luo, these didn't matter.
After all, essay writing is mainly used to gild authors and works.
Some works have a good name, and maybe the copyright can be sold for more money.
Including data and labels such as number one on the monthly vote list, number one on the annual list, number one in the category, opening up a new track for a certain theme, and a certain number of clicks exceeding 100 million, the purpose is actually the same.
Just to get a good price.
However, it is destined to be difficult to sell copyrights for copywriting-type subjects like Li Luo's.
Especially when it comes to film and television copyrights, you basically don’t have to think about it.
So Li Luo just wanted to receive a bonus of 50,000 yuan and go back home.
It's just that this award ceremony is really boring, and the arrangement process is smelly and long.
After Li Luo arrived at the conference hall on time at 1:30, he listened to Chairman Li of the Municipal Writers Association on the stage giving a speech on the significance of realistic themes for more than half an hour.
Then comes the award ceremony for the essay competition on realistic themes.
More than a dozen award-winning authors came on stage one by one, and the leaders came on stage to present awards and then took a group photo.
Afterwards, another leader spoke on the stage, explaining his understanding of urban themes and emphasizing guidance and vigilance for the entertainment industry. In Li Luo's view, it was like a lullaby.
When the host on the stage called his name, Li Luo suddenly woke up.
"In this entertainment Yideng, the first prize-winning work of Urban Spring and Autumn Essay Competition, "I'm Really Not a Celebrity", is written by the author Zhong Xian. Please invite Zhong Xian to take the stage."
Under the gaze of everyone, Li Luo blinked and became a little more awake, then stood up and walked towards the stage.
I have to say that another benefit of him coming to the symposium is that it has greatly increased the popularity of the pen name "Rekindle".
After the confrontation with Chu Sheng in the morning, almost all the authors present knew him.
At such an age and with such achievements, anyone who writes online articles will envy him.
Even those with better grades than him would still envy Li Luo for his youth.
Those whose grades are a little worse are really envious of everything.
"The second prize winning work, "The Age of Literature and Art", the author will grow taller if you go to bed early, please."
Just after Li Luo took the stage, the host reported Xu Youyu's works and pen name.
Qianzhou, who was already prepared, stood up at the right time, stepped onto the stage, and stood next to Li Luo.
Fortunately, no one has much impression of Xu Youyu. They only know that a very beautiful girl has always been with Li Luo for the past two days. But even those who have asked about Xu Youyu's pen name may have forgotten it after turning around.
So everyone saw nothing strange after Qianzhou came to power.
After all, it is a work classified as a male video. If Xu Youyu himself came on stage to accept the award, it would actually cause a fuss.
After all, there are very few female authors of male videos, let alone those who are so young and beautiful.
Among the people in the audience at this time, the one who regretted most was naturally Xu Rongsheng.
After all, it was a rare opportunity to present an award to my daughter, but in order to avoid him, the girl lied about her condition and asked the editor to go on stage to accept it on her behalf.
"I think your speech this morning was very good."
During the award presentation, Cao Qiwen, deputy secretary of the Qianjiang Provincial Writers Association, handed the first-prize certificate to Li Luo and patted him on the shoulder with a smile.
"The Writers Association is also considering recruiting online writers to join us recently. I think you are quite good."
"Our Writers Association has very few fresh blood in recent years, and there are even fewer young people like you. You can try to apply when the time comes."
"Thank you, secretary." Li Luo thanked him in a low voice, adhering to the principle of saying less and making fewer mistakes, and did not answer any more words.
In fact, for the Writers Association, the further it develops, the more it needs the participation of online writers.
In the author's profession, from a national level, the competition is one's influence.
The greater a writer's influence among the people, the more he will be absorbed and gathered.
In the past, such writers were more likely to come from the traditional literature field.
But with the development and changes of the times, the rise of the Internet and the rapid development of online literature, as well as the decline of the influence of traditional literature, many things are changing.
From Secretary Cao's perspective, take the Chu Sheng incident that happened in the morning.
If such a confrontation between the two parties spreads from the traditional writers on the Writers' Association, its influence will only cover a very small range.
But if the Internet writers here at that time were allowed to spread the word and post a single chapter at the end of their serialized novel, it might be spread to millions or even tens of millions of readers in just one day.
.
Such a terrifying influence has reached a level that must be taken seriously.
Therefore, just establishing an Internet Writers Association is not enough.
The Writers Association has connected with the Online Writers Association and is already considering absorbing influential online writers directly into the Writers Association to complete further integration.
And a young and promising author like Li Luo is naturally the target of wooing.
However, Li Luo was not very interested in this kind of thing, so he responded with a few words. After getting the certificate and bonus, he took a group photo with the leaders and followed Qianzhou off the stage.
"Can you leave early?" Li Luo returned to his seat and whispered to Qianzhou next to him.
"It doesn't matter if others leave early. You are an award-winner after all, so it would be too ugly to leave early." Qianzhou whispered, "Just sit there for a while, there is only one hour left at most."
"One more hour?" Li Luo was a little speechless.
It's already past three o'clock.
Originally, he thought the awards should be given out quickly, but Li Luo still underestimated the leaders' love for lengthy speeches.
The awards ceremony takes about ten minutes, and the speech takes dozens of minutes longer.
"Here, take this back to bed early." Qianzhou quietly handed over the certificate and bonus and said to Li Luo.
"No, you take it first." Li Luo said in a low voice, "You saw it at noon. Senior sister was still trying to hide it from her father. I will leave these two things with you for now. We will come back to get them when we have time.
.”
"But I have to catch the high-speed train after dinner in the evening." Qianzhou said in advance, "Don't forget it, you two."
"You can give it to me after dinner in the evening." Li Luo thought for a while and then said, "She and her father are going out to eat alone. We are going to a dinner party. Just give it to me before you leave."
"Okay." Qianzhou took back the certificate and bonus, nodded and said, "It's true for you two, you can't hide it from your family forever if you go to bed early, right? It has to be known, it's better to say it earlier and get rid of it earlier."
"You can tell her this in person." Li Luo said with a smile.
"Then forget it." Qianzhou shook his head repeatedly, "I won't meddle in this matter of her own."
Li Luo sat in his seat, chatting with the editor, and time did not pass slowly.
I stayed up until about 4:30 in the afternoon, and the award ceremony for the top ten of the year finally came to a perfect conclusion.
Looking at the familiar authors on the stage, Li Luo was also a little emotional.
But just as he was sighing with emotion, the host on the stage announced that the afternoon award ceremony was successfully concluded, and everyone got up and prepared to leave to attend the dinner.
Many authors would smile and say hello to Li Luo when they passed by him, including a few big guys who had just received their awards on stage.
If Li Luo wasn't still young, he would have been taken out to play by these old guys.
"Let's go." Qianzhou stood up, stretched, took Xu Youyu's certificate and bonus, and walked out the door with Li Luo.
At this moment, Xu Rongsheng followed Li Luo and patted him on the shoulder: "Go back to the hotel."
Being caught by Xu Rongsheng, Li Luo felt somewhat guilty.
On the way back to the hotel, it was Xu Rongsheng who found a topic to chat with him.
"After I go back this time, I plan to take the time to read your book "I'm Really Not a Celebrity"." Xu Rongsheng said with a smile, "To win the first prize, it must be a very good book."
Upon hearing this, Li Luo was suddenly shaken. Thinking of what Xu Youyu said at the dinner table at noon today, he shuddered suddenly.
This winter, the weather is really cold...
"Uncle Xu, my book is just like that. Why don't you read more of the top ten works of the year? They must be better than me." Li Luo said with a smile, "Or those with realistic themes? They should be more suitable for you.
Appetite?"
"What kind of language are you talking about?" Xu Rongsheng smiled and shook his head, "Where is the style that I confronted with others in the morning? I see that you are quite confident in your work. I think it is very suitable as an entry point for me to study online articles.
"
"Ah?" Li Luo was stunned for a moment, "Study online articles?"
"What's wrong? Don't you think this is a good research direction?" Xu Rongsheng smiled and said, "The older generation's modern and contemporary literature has already been studied, but the most popular online articles at the moment need to really study the mechanism.
, but very few.”
"I also talked a lot with the editor of Xia Lie this time. He has interviewed many online authors and discovered many differences and similarities between online articles and traditional novels."
"I think these are things that are worth studying and can be studied as a new subcategory."
Li Luo was also a little surprised when he heard Xu Rongsheng say such words.
To be honest, Xu Rongsheng in his previous life did turn to in-depth research in the field of Internet literature.
But it was after Xu Youyu graduated from university. Because he won the title of Twelve Heavenly Kings and was selected as the Great God of Qidian, he really couldn't hide it. After a showdown with his family, Xu Rongsheng began to understand deeply under the influence of his daughter.
Internet articles.
The direction of this life is obviously different.
Xu Rongsheng actually made such a decision six or seven years in advance.
This was somewhat beyond Li Luo's expectations.
After all, in the previous life, it was still due to the influence of Xu Rong giving birth to his own daughter.
Could Xu Rongsheng be able to make such a change in this life just because of the influence of his daughter's classmate?
Li Luo scratched his head, a little puzzled.
Maybe Xu Rongsheng really just thinks that the Internet article is worthy of in-depth study.
"Oh, by the way." Xu Rongsheng suddenly thought of something and asked Li Luo, "Is Youyu's room next to yours?"
"Yes." Li Luo nodded and added, "I am in 9105 and she is in 9106."
"I understand." Xu Rongsheng nodded, and walked into the hotel elevator with Li Luo and Qianzhou.
Qianzhou pressed the button for the 8th floor. Just as Li Luo was about to press the button for the 9th floor, Xu Rongsheng next to him pressed it first.
Li Luo thought Xu Rongsheng pressed the button for him, so he whispered thank you.
As a result, when the elevator reached the 8th floor and Qianzhou said hello and left, Li Luo discovered that Xu Rongsheng had no intention of getting out of the elevator.
This made Li Luo a little dumbfounded, and he quickly reminded: "Uncle Xu, we have arrived on the 8th floor."
"Huh? I know." Xu Rongsheng laughed and said, "But I'm going to find Youyu right now. I made an agreement with her to have dinner together at noon."
As soon as these words came out, Li Luo's expression suddenly changed, and he suddenly thought of something.
When he went downstairs to attend the award ceremony, Xu Youyu was still sleeping on his bed!
I don't know if she's awake yet.
If Xu Rongsheng had found this Taima still lying on his bed, he would have jumped into the Yin River to get rid of it!
Thinking of this, Li Luo quickly took out his mobile phone and sent a message to Xu Youyu's QQ, reminding her that Xu Rongsheng had followed him upstairs.
But after the message was sent, no one responded.
This caused Li Luo's heart to suddenly stop, and then it started beating violently again.
At this time, the elevator had stopped at the 9th floor. Xu Rongsheng walked out of the elevator first, went straight to room 9106, raised his hand and knocked on the door.
As a result, no one responded.
Xu Rongsheng frowned: "Is this girl running out to play? Or is she sleeping in?"
With this muttering, he knocked on the door a few more times, but there was still no response from the room.
At this time, Xu Rongsheng turned to look next door, only to find that Li Luo hadn't come over yet. He was holding a mobile phone in his hand, not knowing what he was reading.
"Li Luo, Youyu doesn't seem to be in the room. Did she say where she was going in the afternoon?"
"Oh, oh oh, this..." Li Luo came to the door of his room with stiff hair, and explained to Xu Rongsheng with a smile, "Senior sister, she should be in my room at the moment."
Xu Rongsheng: "...?"
When he heard Li Luo say this, Xu Rongsheng's whole body shut down for a moment.
Although he had guessed before, after all, his daughter rented at Li Luo's home.
The two have been getting along for a long time, and they both write novels in private, so they probably have a lot in common.
This time we came together to attend the symposium again, and our relationship was extremely good.
So even though he knew they were in two separate rooms, Xu Rongsheng was still a little worried.
But what he didn't expect was that Li Luo would be so bold and admit it in front of him!
"That's it..." Li Luo quickly explained, "After the senior student returned to the room at noon, she accidentally wet the sheets. She called the front desk to change the sheets. They said that the waiter was still eating and would have to wait for about half an hour.
"
"Senior sister was feeling sleepy at that time, so she came to my place to borrow a bed and take a nap."
"So if senior didn't go back to her room later, she should stay in my room."
With that said, Li Luo raised his hand and knocked on his door.
Xu Rongsheng on the side looked at his actions and couldn't help but ask: "Where is your room card? Why don't you just swipe your card?"
"There is only one room card. You have to insert the card in the room to turn on the air conditioner, so I didn't bring it with me." Li Luo said, and then knocked on the door a few more times.
It wasn't that he was stalling for time, that was indeed the case.
After all, you won’t be able to sleep without turning on the air conditioner in the middle of winter.
But Li Luo knocked on the door several times, but there was no response.
Xu Rongsheng frowned, stretched out his hand and struck hard several times.
This time, there was finally some movement inside.
After a burst of footsteps, the door of room 9105 was opened a crack.
Xu Youyu was wearing a bathrobe, rubbing his eyes sleepily, looking out the door through the gap that was half the size of his face. After confirming that it was Li Luo, he immediately laughed and looked at Li Luotian with a bit of coquettishness that had just woken up.
Tian said:
"Brother, are you back?"
Before he finished speaking, Li Luo was so frightened that he subconsciously took half a step back. The hand on his side pointed crazily at Xu Rongsheng on his right, blinking desperately to hint at Xu Youyu.
At this time, Xu Rongsheng had already narrowed his eyes, looking at the bathrobe, bare feet, and slightly messy long hair of his daughter, and fell into silence for a moment.
At this time.
Xu Youyu, who noticed something was wrong with Li Luo's reaction, then noticed Li Luo's little move to hint at her.
Following the direction of his finger, Xu Youyu looked to the side suspiciously, and saw a serious face as calm as water.
"ah!!!"
Bang.
The room door was slammed shut.
In the corridor, only Li Luo and Xu Rongsheng were left, and it was silent for a while.
Li Luo stiffened his neck and reluctantly looked at Xu Rongsheng. He looked at him with difficulty, then smiled awkwardly and raised his hands in a comforting gesture.
"Uncle Xu, listen to my explanation."
“Many times, what we hear is false, and what we see may not necessarily be true.”
"Things are definitely not what you think now!"
Chapter completed!
