Lin Yuan naturally didn't understand Gu Xi's series of psychological activities. Not long after he left, the phone rang, and it came from a strange number.

The old rules, let's get rid of it.

The other party called the second time.

It seems that it is not a harassing call. Lin Yuan thought about it and did not hang up again. He answered the channel: "Who?"

"Hello!"

The opposite said: "Are you Teacher Chu Kuang?"

"I am."

"Hello, Teacher Chu Kuang, I am Wei Long, the editor-in-chief of tribal literature..." The other party proudly reported to his home.

Lin Yuan swallowed.

Wei Long naturally didn't know how special his name was: "Our tribal literature recently planned to organize a short story event, which will invite thirty short story writers to compete on the same stage. You are one of our invitees."

“Not interested.”

Lin Yuan plans to continue to work with "Qu Du".

He felt that the royalties for the Yinlan Bookstore of 200,000 yuan per article were not low. Although the platform for tribal literature is convenient, there was no royalties.

"Don't rush to refuse."

The other party smiled and said, "All writers who participate in our activities will receive a reward of 100,000 yuan. In addition, on this basis, if your works can enter the top three, we will also provide a bonus, with a bonus of 300,000 yuan for the first place, a bonus of 200,000 yuan for the second place, and a bonus of 100,000 yuan for the third place."

bonus?

Lin Yuan was a little moved.

The manuscript fee for the third place is 100,000 yuan, plus the 100,000 yuan invited at the beginning, it seems that it is no worse than Yinlan Bookstore. If you get the second or even the first place, there will be more bonuses!

Although it's not a sure thing to get...

But Lin Yuan felt that with the quality of these stories in his hands, it was still not a big problem to enter the top three. After all, the short stories in his hands were all chapters of famous masters.

There is a way.

When he found that Lin Yuan was not speaking, the other party guessed that Chu Kuang was interested and couldn't help but raise his tone: "Please rest assured that our tribal literature will not interfere with the results of the competition among the thirty writers. Who will be the first three in the end will be decided by our tribal literature readers!"

“What about the rules?”

Lin Yuan had the idea of ​​participating.

The editor-in-chief named Wei Long said: "The rules are very simple. We do not limit the subject direction, but the number of words is limited. The number of words in the entries must not be higher than 10,000 words. After all, the competition requires short stories. Readers on the Internet do not have the patience to read too long articles. As far as my personal opinion is concerned, it is better not to exceed 5,000 words..."

Paused.

Wei Long continued: "After receiving the manuscripts from all the writers, our Tribal Literature Association promoted it in the official name. The scope of this promotion is definitely greater than that of traditional paper magazines..."

Lin Yuan thought about something.

The audience of tribal literature is indeed wide, which is determined by the attributes of the tribe platform itself. The number of users they have is overwhelming any magazine. They do this, as long as they consider how many users will be converted into readers.

"I'm going to hide it from you."

Wei Long smiled and said, "We originally planned to pay for money to invite all writers to participate, but considering that this event may imitate the music circle season chart for a long time, so we finally adopted this form. I wonder what your intention is?"

"I'll think about it."

Lin Yuan's answer was like this, but in fact he had basically had an idea in his mind.

The other party also guessed this and said, "Okay, this number is your address book. I will add your friend and send your email to your address book. If you have any ideas, please be sure to submit the manuscript before the end of this month, because the selection will officially begin at the beginning of next month."

"good."

Lin Yuan hung up the phone.

In fact, "Fun Reading" also invited Lin Yuan to write an article.

Because "Maggie's Gift" became popular, the magazine's sales have increased a lot, so the magazine wanted to cooperate with Lin Yuan for a long time.

But now it seems that tribal literature activities are more cost-effective.

Lin Yuan has no sense of belonging to Yinlan Bookstore. After all, he signed works rather than people with Yinlan Bookstore. He has the right to choose a publishing platform. This is also the reason why he chose tribal literature when he uploaded "Artificial Beauty".

...

During the Chinese New Year, Lin Yuan took advantage of his sister's luck to draw five short stories in one breath, and has used two of them so far, and there are still three stories to choose from.

"Just that."

There is no need to be too tangled in the choice.

Because Lin Yuan no matter how he thinks, the remaining three stories are not bad, and the specific results will depend on the readers' taste.

However, Lin Yuan’s mission is not just about choosing one of the stories. He also needs to modify the background of the novel to make it more in line with a certain era of Blue Star—

Because the system gives five original stories.

Therefore, "Maggie's Gift" was adapted by Lin Yuan himself, such as money conversion, background conversion, etc.

In comparison.

"Artificial Beauty" released by Lin Yuan for the first time did not have a clear historical background and did not require too many changes, so it was the easiest to write.

The explanation for this system is:

The system can help you with the adaptation that is too complicated, but Lin Yuan still needs to do it himself, such as "Maggie's Gift" and a few thousand words.

Lin Yuan was not resistant to this.

People have more than one billion brain cells, and adapt content of thousands of words, but they can’t die much, and they can have a greater sense of participation.

This is indeed the case.

Although I don’t know how many brain cells he died, Lin Yuan returned to his residence at night and held the computer to modify the background of the story. However, it only took less than two hours, and one hour was used to check the information.

Such things are definitely rigorous.

As for writing the original version, it will only take twenty minutes.

After revising the novel, Lin Yuan did not immediately send it to Wei Long's email address, but instead thought about sending it to him in a few days.

Wouldn’t the words sent to the other party on the same day reveal the fact that I have a copy of the manuscript?

Turn off the computer and Lin Yuan prepares to go to bed.

...

While Lin Yuan was about to rest, Gu Xi was nervously waiting for his friend's call in front of the desk in a certain apartment.

Suddenly, the phone rang.

She quickly connected: "How is it?"

"Miss Gu, I've been trying for a long time to help you get it done. You have to treat me to a big meal when you look back."

"I'll ask!"

"You have a little conscience. The person you asked about is Lin Yuan. He is indeed a student in the composition department. He is a sophomore this year."

"What else?"

"Lin Yuan is a taciturn person. It is said that he is not in good health, but his classmates have a good reputation for him. He said that he has a good personality and never has conflicts with others. That's all, and I don't know the extra."

Gu Xi: "..."

If someone who never has conflicts with his classmates has conflicts with me, how annoying will I be?

“By the way.”

My friend asked: "Why do you want to ask about Lin Yuan? Could it be that he is greedy for others? Isn't you Miss Gu always more than you?"

"I'm not greedy for his body..."

Gu Xi sighed: "You won't understand. Can you give me some advice and tell me how to please someone?"

"Of course it's up to what he likes."

"But I don't know what he likes."

"In my experience, ninety-nine percent of people like money, of course I'm talking about vulgar people like me."

"He is not vulgar at all."

Gu Xi sighed again: "It would be great if he likes money... He can't like money..."
