"Chu crazy."

The editors were stunned, thinking that Han Jimei had made a mistake: "This is probably not a famous short story writer, he is writing youth fantasy novels, last time "Artificial Beauty" was just a small short story he created occasionally, Not bad though...”

"Then read this."

Han Jimei put "Interesting Reading" on the table, and then glanced at everyone: "It's up to you to decide who you want to find, but Chu Kuang is the first target I want to fight for."

……

As the first article on the cover of the magazine, "Maggie's Gift" was not only noticed by Han Jimei, but many magazine buyers also read this story one after another.

Nearly a week later, a thorough discussion broke out online.

The first platform where the heated discussion is concentrated is the message board of the official website of the Yinlan Shuku magazine section.

The function of this message board is similar to that of a novel forum.

"The quality of this issue of the magazine is very high, especially "Maggie's Gift". I really like it and it is very touching."

"It is indeed the key recommendation on the cover, and it did not disappoint!"

"It's been a long time since I saw such a good story. "The Gift of the Magi" is very good."

"During the Chinese New Year, I was fortunate enough to read "Man-made Beauty" on the tribe. I remembered a writer named Chu Kuang. I didn't expect to read his new work so soon. It was as wonderful as ever, and I even thought it was better than the previous one. "

"Such a good short story was actually written by Chu Kuang..."

"After checking Chu Kuang's information, I realized that this is a novelist who writes about youth fantasy. It's so rare."

"As a reader who loves both youth fantasy and short stories, seeing Chu Kuang's works in two fields at the same time, the experience is really amazing, and I have become his fan."

"..."

Soon the wave of discussion began to spread, and "The Gift of the Magi" was unsurprisingly widely welcomed.

The direct consequence of this is that the sales volume of the latest issue of "Fun Reading" in the first week is 50.00% higher than that of the previous issue!

Perhaps the follow-up sales of "Fun Reading" this month are also worth looking forward to.

As for the pseudonym Chu Kuang, it was the first time that it entered the field of vision of short story lovers.

Even some writers in the field of short stories secretly remembered the pseudonym Chu Kuang through "Maggie's Gift".

At this time, Chu Kuang was beginning to become famous in the circle of short stories.

Some people say, didn't Chu Kuang write "Artificial Beauty" before?

That's true, but at that time, Chu Kuang was still labeled as a youth fantasy writer, and the title of "Net King" covered the excellence of that short work to a certain extent——

This happens when a certain identity shines brighter.

So it wasn't until Chu Kuang wrote short stories for the second time that everyone really realized:

It turns out that Chu Kuang still has such a talent.

However, it is undeniable that Chu Kuang is a newcomer no matter in the field of short stories or youth fantasy.

He still has a long way to go.

And the crowd who are looking forward to this is gradually expanding.

Some people might say, isn't "The Gift of the Magi" the most famous short story on earth, only to end up with a casual shock from the readers?

This kind of taken-for-granted view is also understandable.

But those who say this must first think about how difficult it is to write a novel that shocks readers, and know that it is actually very difficult to reach the sky in one step in artistic creation in reality.

In fact.

Countless classics that are regarded as masterpieces by later generations can only cause temporary discussions when they are just released. When you hear that a certain work is a world-class masterpiece, you must first think about how long it has been since it was officially released— —

There are too few contemporary conferred gods.

Unless they had high influence at the time.

More often, it is time to brew classics.

When these classics were first published, the creators actually only had the potential to become gods. Before they could truly become gods, they might be one Nobel recognition away, or many classics of the same level.

Or... just one death away.

Chapter 65 The Relentless Playing Machine

Of course, Lin Yuan didn't need to wait for a death to become a god. The earth behind him was an inexhaustible treasure house of art.

And he firmly believes that the system will overcome the disease sooner or later!

What I want to mention here is that novels like "The Gift of the Magi" often have deeper meanings, such as reflecting the social class contradictions and injustice at that time.

But Lin Yuan lives in Blue Star.

So this story is just a story, and the text pays more attention to the story itself, and will not have such a profound meaning, and many discussions about those years are just a taste.

At this time he was eating in the cafeteria.

Xia Fan and Jian Jian were sitting opposite each other.

Xia Fan seemed a little absent-minded today, his eyes were out of focus, and Jian Jian, who noticed this, waved his hand in front of Xia Fan's eyes:

"What are you thinking, so ecstatic?"

Lin Yuan also looked at this friend with concern.

Xia Fan looked up and said embarrassedly: "Don't laugh at me, I signed up for this year's "Blooming Bloom" last night."

Hearing this, Jian Jian exchanged a glance with Lin Yuan, and then burst out laughing.

As the most popular talent show in Qinzhou, "Blooming Bloom" is held every year. Many young girls with music dreams have a deep yearning for this show——

Xia Fan is one of them.

But in the past two years, Xia Fan has participated in "Blooming Bloom" twice, and both times she was not in the top [-], which made Xia Fan deeply shocked. When she lost the election last year, she cried and said, "I will never participate in this show again. "

The words of last year are still in my ears.

As a result, the registration channel for "Blooming Bloom" just opened this year, and Xia Fan couldn't wait to sign up again, as if he had forgotten what he had said, and seemed to have forgotten the previous two blows.

"Do you two want to die!"

Xia Fan glared at the two laughing.

Lin Yuan closed his smile instantly: "I support."

Simple also has a serious face: "Chasing your dream."

Xia Fan's expression softened slightly.

As a result, the two snorted and laughed again.

Xia Fan was furious: "Do you think it's funny?"

The desire to survive made Jian Jian and Lin Yuan hold back their laughter.

Xia Fan snorted: "This is the third time, I promise, this year is the last time to participate!"

Simple said silently: "You said the same thing last year..."

Then he cried out in pain because Xia Fan stepped on him.

Lin Yuan said: "When we wait for the competition, we will go to the audience to cheer you on, just like the previous two years."

"It's almost there."

Xia Fan stood up and said, "In this case, both of you can help me too. I think I didn't enter the top [-] two years ago, mainly because I made a mistake in choosing songs. This year I must choose the song that suits me best, so that the judges can't help but be speechless." Can say."

"it is good."

Lin Yuan and Jian Jian did not refuse.

In fact, it was mainly Lin Yuan's opinion.

A tone-deficient guy like Jian Jian doesn't understand music at all, so he can only simply and rudely classify music into two categories: "good" and "bad".

I thought about it.

Lin Yuan said: "The song you sang last year was actually pretty good. The main reason why the judges didn't choose you was that your style of song selection was not popular."

As a good friend, Lin Yuan knows Xia Fan's strength.

With Xia Fan's conditions, participating in "Blooming Bloom" has a chance to stand out. Xia Fan's problem lies in the competition strategy.

This girl likes minority songs very much.

The competition pays attention to the sense of presence, and the kind of songs that make the audience angry are more likely to stand out, and niche songs will not get much resonance.

……

After eating, the three of them made plans for Xia Fan's song selection for "Blooming Bloom".

Xia Fan took out the playlist she had prepared: "Lin Yuan, circle the recommended songs, I will practice more."

"Ah."

Lin Yuan glanced at Xia Fan's playlist, and this girl still couldn't change her liking for niche music, and besides niche music, Lin Yuan also saw two familiar songs in the playlist,

One is "Big Fish".

One is "Flammable and Explosive"

Lin Yuan glanced at Xia Fan and crossed out "Big Fish".

Xia Fan's voice could not bring out the advantages of this song.

He ordered another song: "You can try "Flammable and Explosive"."

"it is good."

This is Xia Fan's favorite song.

Lin Yuan thought for a while and then said: "I didn't ask you to sing this song in the audition. There is no problem with you in the audition. Wait for the top [-] competition, and then show this song."

Xia Fan nodded.

Those who can enter the top [-] are basically highly professional players. At this time, it is not surprising whoever enters and who goes down. She was too reckless in the past two years. She thought that if she sang well, she would definitely be able to enter the top [-]. Among the top [-] players, which one is weaker?

Made some suggestions.

Lin Yuan almost deleted more than half of the songs from Xia Fan's playlist. He looked at the few remaining songs and said, "You can practice hard on these, and they can all be used as competition repertoires."

"Row."

Xia Fan still trusts Lin Yuan, even though many of the songs that Lin Yuan deleted were the ones she really wanted to sing.

Discussion is over.

An hour has passed.

Both Lin Yuan and Jian Jian had something to leave. Lin Yuan, who had no class this afternoon, hesitated and called out the system: "Can I improve my piano skills through practice?"

"can."

The system replied: "The system has given the host a professional-level piano level, but if the host can practice hard on this basis, it can achieve independent progress."

"understood."

Lin Yuan went to the piano room.

Everyone likes to sit back and reap the rewards, and so does Lin Yuan. Who would hate the feeling of getting something for nothing?

But apart from waiting for the system to upgrade himself, Lin Yuan does not resist self-improvement, otherwise why would he listen to every university course seriously——

Anyway, the system will give the song?

If he had this kind of thinking, Lin Yuan could spend his campus life and even his whole life leisurely, but it would be too boring.

The efficiency of self-improvement is of course insignificant compared with the system.

But Lin Yuan quite liked the feeling of making insignificant progress through hard work. Human beings need a sense of accomplishment.

Arrive at the piano room.

Lin Yuan played a few familiar pieces first.

After his hands warmed up, he played "Dream Wedding", which was a track he got from the silver treasure chest, and it is still in the warehouse.

Notes flow from the fingers.
