After dreaming of getting rich, I dressed up as a collapsed idol

In her heart, the boy next door is already an adult, has his own ideas, and can handle these things on his own.

Let’s talk about another thing.

"I have good news for you. The editorial department has decided to enter your two fairy tale short stories, 'The Ugly Duckling' and 'The Emperor's New Clothes,' into this year's National Outstanding Children's Literature Award."

"That's it."

Lu Qingfeng was not too excited.

This award, like the Mao Dun Literature Prize and the Lu Xun Literature Prize, is sponsored by the All-China Writers Association and is awarded every three years.

It is one of the most prestigious literary awards in the country, and because of this, he knew that his chances of winning were slim, given his qualifications.

It will be about the same in a few years.

This time I'll just use it to gain some experience.

"After your New Concept Essay Competition, are you still staying in Shanghai?"

"Go straight back."

"Okay, then, contact me. I'll help you apply for membership in the Jiangsu Writers Association after you come back."

"it is good"

The status of a Writers Association is equivalent to professional recognition, and there are some conveniences, but nothing else.

After finishing the chat, Lu Qingfeng checked the online opinions about his hidden identity.

Overall, the effect exceeded expectations and was better than his original plan.

This incident was unexpected, but he took advantage of the situation and indeed further ignited the popularity of street violinists.

There are many advantages, but there are also some disadvantages.

For example, the show-off statement that appeared in the early stage.

People nowadays are not stupid, on the contrary they are very sensitive. If they frequently use this method to attract the public's attention, they will easily suffer backlash.

This time, thanks to the appearance of the Philharmonic Orchestra, this part of the impact was alleviated.

Then he can slow down his pace next time.

Also, the vest is a bit unstable and falls off a bit quickly.

This didn't really fit into his plan.

If his identity is revealed too early, he will easily be labeled as an internet celebrity, which is not what he wants to see.

He went into TikTok and saw that there were already comments linking the street violinist to his own account.

Without saying anything, all videos were temporarily set to private.

Delay it as long as possible.

After making a final summary and making sure there are no omissions, I turn off the lights and go to bed.

Tomorrow is the New Concept Writing Competition.

……

There are two most famous magazines in Shanghai, one is "Sprout" and the other is "Harvest".

Literary lovers say that "The Sprout" is the incubation cradle of writers, and "Harvest" represents the maturity of a writer.

"Mengya" magazine was founded in 1956. This old magazine was once on the verge of bankruptcy and could not even pay salaries.

What made the magazine shine again was the New Concept Writing Competition that started in 1998.

Thanks to its innovative writing format, this competition has produced a group of young writers.

Therefore, the New Concept Writing Competition has become a signature feature of "Mengya".

The venue for the rematch was a star-rated hotel, and many media were present.

When Lu Qingfeng arrived here, almost all the participating candidates had arrived.

Some people were sitting on the ground reading, some were being interviewed, and some were taking pictures of each other. There were all kinds of people.

"Mengya" also put a lot of effort into organizing the rematch and set up a cultural wall inside the hotel.

There are photos of winners of previous New Concept Writing Competitions and scenes from past competitions.

There is also a slog for this semi-final outside the stadium.

Understand the world through words.

Each semi-final lasts three days, with exams on the first day, review and a media meeting with the judges on the second day, and the results announced on the third day.

The exam lasts three hours and there are two questions. You can choose one of them. There is no limit on the topic. The word count must be within 5,000 words.

Lu Qingfeng went to confirm the Group A competition venue, and then found a place to stay.

At 8:30 in the morning, the contestants entered the examination room and the examination questions were distributed ten minutes in advance.

Lu Qingfeng picked it up and took a look.

Topic 1: Reflections on Reading Classic Works

Topic 2: "It's time to pursue your dreams"

The two topics are in line with the characteristics of the new concept.

The early rematch questions were more casual, such as placing a bitten apple on the table and letting the contestants express themselves freely.

It’s a little better now, at least there are specific topics.

After a little thought, he decided to focus his writing on the first question.

The main thing is that he does have a suitable article in his mind.

Even the Nine-tailed Fox inheritance hasn't been explored here.

The reason why he could remember the work was largely because of a sentence in it.

"I fear that I am not a fine jade, so I dare not diligently polish it. Yet, I half-believe that I am a fine jade, so I refuse to be mediocre and live among rubble..."

It was also because of this touching passage that he went to read the full text in his previous life.

This article is called "Mountain Moon Record" and is the work of Japanese writer Nakajima Atsushi.

It is based on the Tang Dynasty legendary novel "The Legend of Man and Tiger", which tells the story of a man named Li Zheng who turned into a tiger.

Based on the original work, Nakajima Atsushi added new content and thoughts, shifting the story from simply the core of a man turning into a tiger to an exploration of the human heart.

The literary quality is greatly improved.

Once you’ve determined the writing direction, just get started.

I still spent some time on the draft, and then started writing the main text.

This article is quite long, so it took a while to finish.

It was only finished near the end of the exam time.

After using the last bit of time to check and confirm that there were no problems, the invigilator began to collect the papers.

Lu Qingfeng walked out of the examination room feeling relaxed. There were still two days before the results came out, so it was a good time for him to go shopping in Shanghai and buy some gifts to take back.

……

As for the New Concept Composition, the sealed test papers were distributed to the judges according to the groups.

There were nearly two hundred candidates who entered the semi-finals, so the pressure of reviewing was quite high.

Taking this into consideration, there are quite a few judges.

There are more than 20 judges in Group A, all of whom are well-known writers and literature professors.

The judges will work in groups to cross-examine the works and select the ones they consider to be more outstanding.

Afterwards, we held a concentrated discussion and ranked these essays.

The exam is over and the review has begun.

The next morning there was a meeting with the judges to discuss the results and outstanding works of this year's New Concept Composition competition with various media outlets.

This year's chairman of the jury is Song Licheng, chairman of the Shanghai Writers Association.

This veteran writer has served as the chairman of the New Concept Writing Competition for more than one term.

He is also familiar with media interviews.

He answered the questions from the previous reporters easily, but the next reporter's question made him frown.

"Chairman Song, what do you think about the recent rumors that some contestants try to figure out the judges' thoughts, ideas, and hobbies and write according to a formula?"
