Before the selection started, Li Wei received a call from Zhou Lan, editor of Wenchuang.
It is full of accusations and endless resentment.
This phone call lasted for half an hour, and Li Wei was embarrassed and smiled the whole time.
There's no other way, for Zhou Lan, the editor in charge, to secretly participate in the essay call is indeed a bit disrespectful.
It's just that he thought about it, Zhou Lan would never agree to his participation in this essay call.
No way, Xianxia and science fiction are two completely different concepts.
Not to mention a newcomer like him, even if it is a veteran author of Xianxia who writes science fiction, how many people besides diehard fans will like it, let alone short stories.
Although both are literary works, novels and short novels are two completely different fields.
After Li Wei repeatedly promised that he would not do this next time, the editor let him go contentedly, expressing her love for "Lonely Drifting Bottle" by the way, and her shock at Teacher Ye Jingqiu's ability to write short stories.
Soon, all [-] sci-fi short stories were uploaded to the Wenchuang Forum, and the voting system was opened at the same time.
There are not many readers of short literature, but these people are often diehard fans and look down on writers who write long novels.
Because in their view, it is difficult for long-form literature to have any depth, let alone long-form business literature, which is pure rubbish for making money.
This time, Wenchuang’s essay call can be regarded as a grand event in the field of science fiction short stories, so many short story readers squatted in front of the computer early.
Sun Guang is a die-hard fan of short stories, but he belongs to the minority who do not reject long stories.
In his mind, both long and short stories have their own advantages.
For example, short classics are often thought-provoking, while long stories describe the plot in more detail, which is a kind of enjoyment to read.
Unfortunately, most short-story readers don't think so.
"Here we come, I don't know which famous short story writers will participate this time."
At the moment when the online selection started, Sun Guang paid attention to the shortlist for the first time.
"Sure enough, teacher Cailiang was selected, ah, teacher Meng Jiang is also there, and teacher Wu Cheng..."
Looking at the shortlist, Sun Guang showed surprise in his eyes.
I didn't expect that so many big names in the field of short stories would be blown up in a call for essays on cultural and creative short stories.
But it's no wonder that the No. 110 million reward is not too small.
Suddenly, Sun Guang's expression became weird.
He saw a familiar name. Although that one had only one step of work, he was also a top author in his eyes.
It's just that it's the top of the long-form field.
Sun Guang frowned.
"Although Teacher Ye Jingqiu is a top author of novels, what does it mean to participate in short science fiction stories? Do you look down on the field of short stories?"
I looked down at the chat group on my phone, and sure enough, the group chat had blown up.
Because they are dual readers of both long and short stories, they are out of tune with the general short story fans.
Over time, many readers who were also excluded set up this chat group.
But now, many diving monsters have been blown out.
"I actually saw Ye Jingqiu, the immortal hero, in this essay contest!"
A big picture of shock at the back expresses the shock of the speaker.
"It's not that I underestimated Ye Jingqiu, he wrote "Zhu Xian" really well, I read it too.
But is the short story the same as the long story, and it's still a fairy tale, and a science fiction, it's two extremes. "
"Who is Ye Jingqiu, why haven't I heard of it?"
"Zhu Xian" has only appeared for a short time, and Wenchuang is only one of several major literary forums in Datang State, and there are still many Xianxia readers who don't know about him.
"Ye Jingqiu is the author of a recent novel called "Zhu Xian", known as Ye Tentacle, Ye Daxian."
Both of these nicknames came up recently. Ye Chushou naturally refers to his coding speed, while Ye Daxian is not so friendly.
Because as the plot gets better and better, the emotional lines in Zhu Xianli are also gradually revealed.
What is Zhu Xian's emotion?
Only one word is highlighted in the full text, abuse!
The title of Great Immortal expresses readers' expectation for him to ascend to immortality as soon as possible. Cough, of course, maybe there is also a sense of admiration for him.
At least Levi himself thinks so.
"Forgive me for being ignorant, but I really want to laugh. The author of a long story writes a short story. Isn't this seeking abuse?"
"Haha, you're right."
Looking at the speeches in the group, for some reason, Sun Guang felt a little uncomfortable.
"Zhu Xian" is really an author he likes very much, he even named a leader for this book, but now he is being targeted like this, but he is powerless to refute.
Because even in his own heart, he had the same thoughts as them.
It is not uncommon for long-form authors to write short stories, but Ye Jingqiu has not yet established a firm foothold in the field of long-form novels, and it is a bit too hasty to attack short-form works so soon.
Looking at the title "Lonely Drifting Bottle", Sun Guang was even more disappointed.
This is a sci-fi short essay, but the name, at first glance, is a romantic plot.
Just when he was secretly helpless and even complaining, a message suddenly appeared in the group.
"Everyone who said that Teacher Ye Jingqiu is overreaching, have you read the article carefully?"
Seeing this news, Sun Guang was taken aback, yes, he was disappointed too early.
How can you be a qualified fan if you deny the content without even reading it.
But someone in the group replied immediately.
"Then why don't you read it? How can a Xianxia author write a good science fiction short story?"
There is a sense of disdain between the lines.
