Chapter 228 Uncle Xu, listen to my explanation(1/2)
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?"
