When Zhang Yucheng saw Qianjian's delay in replying, he thought that the other party was not interested. Just when he was about to say something, Qianjian on the other side spoke: "What are the rules for this activity of yours?"

Hearing Qian Jian ask this, Zhang Yucheng smiled. She knew that the other party was finally interested.

As long as you're interested, it's easy!

She quickly said: "For this event, we have adopted a brand-new rule. All the works of more than forty writers are anonymous, which means that readers can only see the works, but will not know about them. Who is the author of each work? The final voting is also done by the readers, and our organizer will not have any interference in the whole process."

"The subject matter of short stories is not limited, only the word count is limited. The total word count is required to be no more than 10,000 words. In the past, it was no more than 20,000 words. However, I think we can try to reduce the word count this year. After all, short stories have more words. The less you have, the more interesting you are..."

Zhang Yucheng paused and continued: "And for this event, we also plan to cooperate with Weike, and both parties will promote it together. This kind of promotion through the Internet will definitely be bigger than before..."

Bai Qianqu pretended to be thinking.

"Lin Yi" does have a very broad readership. The readers of their magazine are far more than other magazines. Coupled with the cooperation with Weike this time, the number of readers attracted will definitely be amazing.

"Actually, to tell you the truth, this event is also the first time to use anonymity, and it is also considered to reduce the impact of the writer's fame on the work as much as possible. In the future, this model may be held in the form of a music chart for a long time, and a short story will also be released. list."

"That's it for now. Are you willing to participate?"

Bai Qianqu did not give a direct answer. He said: "I will think about it."

Of course, despite considering it, he had already decided to participate, but he wanted to collect more information before making a decision.

"Okay," Zhang Yucheng also knew Bai Qianqu's thoughts and did not force him, "You can add my contact information at this number. If you have the answer, please call this number to inform me as soon as possible. Our event will be held in May. , the deadline will be one month earlier.”

"Okay, I see."

Zhang Yucheng hung up the phone. Although Qian Jian didn't agree directly, she believed that the other party would eventually agree. After all, Qian Jian's tone just now showed that he was obviously interested.

Originally, there was no plan to invite Qian Jian to this event. This was a temporary decision she made.

This is also to verify the strength of Qianjian again.

As long as the opponent can get a middle ranking, it proves that the opponent is not lucky, but actually has the ability!

When the time comes, I will dig him out no matter what!

......

After Bai Qianqu ended the call, he was thoughtful. He checked online and saw the activity Zhang Yucheng mentioned.

A total of forty-five short story writers are invited!

Entries are submitted anonymously!

Each reader has three chances to vote!

The final ranking will be based on readers’ votes!

And only then will the author's name of each work be displayed.

The rules of this activity are very novel and have aroused the interest of many readers as soon as they were released.

On the day Bai Qianqu agreed to participate, "Lin Yi" announced the news of the event, and the comment section was abuzz.

"If the author's name is actually hidden, wouldn't it mean that we readers wouldn't be able to know who wrote this work?"

"This is interesting. After taking off the filter of the great author, what's left is completely a competition of hard power!"

"Yes, great authors have too many fans. In terms of fan voting alone, small authors are completely incomparable. I think this event is very good. When competing on the same stage, we should pay attention to fairness. We are not in the entertainment industry. , what kind of idol effect is this?"

"That's right, and this competition is also a collaboration between "Lin Yi" and Weike, which will definitely bring fresh blood to our short story circle! I'm looking forward to the start of this competition!"

"Unfortunately, it has to wait until May, but the list of invited authors seems to have been released."

"I have already read it. Most of them are famous writers. It seems that "Lin Yi" attaches great importance to this competition."

"Fuck, what did I see? Isn't this Qianjian? He was also invited to participate in this competition?"

Everyone was a little surprised, but after thinking about it, they thought it was nothing.

"After all, Qianjian was the winner of the last short story award, and he also published his masterpiece "The Gift of the Magi" during the Chinese New Year. It is normal for him to participate in this competition."

"Qian Jian's reputation in the field of short stories is on the rise, and his short stories are getting more and more readers. Maybe he wants to delve deeper into this field, right?"

"It should be like this... However, the overall level of the authors participating in this competition has improved a lot. The more than forty writers invited by "Lin Yi" are all carefully selected writers. This time Qianjian wants to I’m afraid it’s not that simple to get a good ranking.”

"That's not necessarily true," someone objected. "I think Qianjian's strength is probably not much worse than those of the so-called great writers. He just has relatively few works at present, and his reputation in short stories and even the literary world is not as great as those old writers. .Look at the works he published, which one is not a masterpiece? Which one is not as good as those great writers?"

When everyone thought about it, it seemed that this was indeed the case, and they began to understand more and more why "Lin Yi" invited Qian Jian.

I'm afraid that "Lin Yi" chose to invite Qian Jian because of his ability and let him compete on the same stage with those big-name writers.

But within a few days, a surprising thing soon came out.

"Lin Yi" held an event, and another magazine called "Reader" also held an event at the same time!

The first one to learn the news was naturally "Lin Yi". They originally planned to invite Yang Yagang, but they were directly rejected by the other party!

Who is Yang Yagang?

In the field of short stories in China, he is recognized as one of the three strongest writers!

Known as one of the troika in the field of short stories!

The original meaning of troika is three horses pulling one cart. There was no so-called cavalry in the ancient army, only chariots, which were two horses and one cart. Therefore, status was distinguished by the number of horses pulling the cart.

The chariot of the commander-in-chief of the Chinese army is different from others. It is pulled by three horses. It is also called the "troika" and is the symbol of the commander-in-chief. This is a treatment only available to the emperor, so the word "troika" also has the best and most luxurious meaning in it.
