As an actor, it makes sense for me to know some kung fu, right?

"Lao Zhuang, congratulations. When your masterpiece "Life's Journey" is on the list tomorrow, we have to have a good drink!"

Zhou Wenhao said congratulations with a bit of sadness in his heart, and he also pretended to be very happy for his old friend. It was all thanks to his acting skills.

Zhuang Qiu on the other side of the phone obviously wouldn't think so much. He is a literary master, while Zhou Wenhao is just the president of the Modern Poetry Society, and their levels are different.

So after hearing Zhou's congratulations, Zhuang Qiu laughed loudly:

"Definitely, definitely, Lao Zhou, speaking of which, it's all thanks to you. If you hadn't asked me for help, that boy named Xu wouldn't have provoked me.

Logically speaking, this is not a glorious thing, but who would have thought that it would be a blessing in disguise. Now many people in the circle support me, which is also very rewarding. "

Zhou Wenhao continued sourly:

"It has to be you, Master Zhuang. You are already very popular in the circle. Only then can everyone convince and support you, waiting for the release of this annual masterpiece list.

Brother Zhuang, your popularity must be even higher. Maybe you can compete for the position of president of the Literary Association. That would be great. "

"Hey, I don't dare to say this nonsense. The level between me and the president is still far behind. Really, I am very satisfied with just one vice-president!"

Zhuang Qiu didn't get carried away yet. He quickly lowered the gear by half a gear and said again:

“And I don’t want to do anything with my status as vice-president, I just want to see if I can push ‘The Journey of Life’ forward.

The annual masterpiece list should be stable, but if it can be included in the ten-year list, the situation will be different. So, I still have to fight for it if I can. "

"Yeah……"

Zhou Wenhao nodded in agreement.

"Okay, Lao Zhou, I have another call from here. Let's talk again."

Zhuang Qiu's words were not a cliche. In fact, there were indeed quite a lot of people calling him today, far exceeding the usual number.

He clearly understood why this happened. It was simply because the annual masterpiece list was about to be released, and his "Life's Journey" basically secured a position.

Everyone makes arrangements in advance before the list is released, so that it is a 'help in times of need'.

But if the list is already out and then congratulations are given, it can only be regarded as the icing on the cake. The meanings of the two are too different.

Of course Master Zhuang himself knows this, but why wouldn't he enjoy it when others come to congratulate him.

Everyone carries the sedan chair, and besides, they are all people in the literary circle. The more friends you make, the greater the benefits...

"Haha, when the annual masterpiece list is released tomorrow, that boy named Xu Lu will never have a chance to make a comeback!"

When finally no call came in, Zhuang Qiu suddenly laughed:

"You dare to offend me as a little director, now I will let you know how terrifying the energy of a literary master is!

What world is there for young people? Humph, I don’t know if I’ll do it in the future, but for now, we old guys have the final say! "

……

At the same time, the opinions on the Internet gradually converged:

"It seems that in this war between young directors and literary masters, the literary master has the upper hand!"

"Yes, although Director Xu is very talented, his background is still relatively shallow and cannot be compared with Master Zhuang."

"I'm afraid he himself knows this, otherwise, why wouldn't he dare to take the lead in the future?

It's a pity that he knew it too late. He shouldn't have offended Master Zhuang at the speech party that day. Now..."

"If you ask me, since I've offended you all, it's better to be a bachelor than to suddenly turn into a turtle now!"

……

"A bachelor? Haha, of course you think it's okay to be a bachelor. You still want to be in the film and television industry, so how can you be a bachelor?"

"There is nothing you can do about it. The literature field is naturally higher than the entertainment field, so Master Zhuang has nothing to fear."

"That's right, you see those people in the literary circle are supporting Master Zhuang.

But in the director circle, everyone turned against each other and helped outsiders. "

"The dust has settled! After all, tomorrow is the day when the 'Annual Masterpiece List' is released, which is no small matter.

When Master Zhuang's "Life's Journey" is on the list, director Xu Lu will have no chance to make a comeback. "

……

Chen Xiao is an online writer who signed a contract to write at Shuqie Novel Network. His performance has been pretty good in recent years.

Oh, by the way, the only time that made his grades drop was the day when the 'divine eagle' fell from the sky.

At that time, this martial arts novel that came out of nowhere actually swept most of the traffic on the entire website, which was terrifying.

But there are pros and cons to this.

The disadvantage is obvious, that is, during that period, the traffic of almost all Shuqie.com authors was declining.

Chen Xiao was no exception. Seeing the daily decrease in manuscript fees, he almost wanted to use the outline to escape.

But after a while, the advantages of this incident also became apparent.

Because the ‘Shen Diao’ not only dominated the site’s traffic at that time, he also brought a lot of traffic from outside.

So when the popularity of this book gradually subsides, other authors on the website will naturally benefit from the external traffic wave.

"Despite this, I still don't want a phenomenon-level work like 'The Condor' to appear again. It's too disturbing!"

Thinking of this, Chen Xiao secretly said something.

His hand controlled the mouse and he involuntarily clicked on an author he was following.

The next moment, Chen Xiao felt that his heart was beating violently at this time.

That's right!

What he clicked on was the homepage of 'Mr.

"Oh my god, when did this big guy suddenly publish a book?"

Chen Xiao finally calmed down, looking at the word "alive" on the homepage, his mind was buzzing.

Fortunately, this title is obviously not a martial arts or fantasy work, but more like a realistic literature.

This made Chen Xiao feel a little relieved.

Driven by curiosity, he chose to click on the novel and opened the first page...

After half an hour.

Chen Xiao, a big man, wiped away his tears while cursing himself secretly:

"What on earth do you mean about my mean hands? Now I've made my nose full of snot and tears.

Fortunately, no one was around to see it, otherwise, I would be extremely embarrassed..."

But despite saying this, Chen Xiao was extremely shocked.

Although he considers himself to be a minor writer, he doesn't think he can write a work like "Alive" at all.

“This boss is really awesome, and realist literature is so powerful.

Hey, that's not right. Isn't this big boss Director Xu who has caused a lot of commotion on the Internet recently?

Why didn't he deal with Master Zhuang's 'encirclement and suppression', but instead secretly released a work? "

Chen Xiao touched his chin and felt something fishy.

But because I knew too little information, I couldn't figure out the key to it.

……

But the time soon came to the next day.

The annual masterpiece list is released, and ten annual works of various genres are finally released amidst the anticipation of countless people.

However, many people were surprised when they saw the names on the list for the first time.
