Chapter 444 Upset

Qiu Zhiguo has read many stories and written many short stories. If the round design is ingenious, the metaphor of the text and the satire of reality, he really thinks that this "A Bowl of Clear Soup Yangchun Noodles" is really too simple in terms of application skills I'm sorry, I'm even a little sorry for the "prestige" created by Li Chungang's previous two short stories!

But here's the really weird thing...

Obviously, it is such a short story that is easy to read and full of chicken soup routines that people are used to every day, but it has the magic power to move Qiu Zhiguo to tears, which he did not expect at all beforehand. Even in the whole process of reading the story, I almost forgot that I was holding the mentality of seeing how strong the strongest competitor is for my son.

So what is the problem?

Qiu Zhiguo subconsciously refused to admit that he was moved by this simple warmth, because it is not uncommon for him to have read similar stories, and it is not uncommon for the background design of the story to be more bumpy and difficult. To put it bluntly, this "A Bowl of Clear Soup and Yangchun Noodles" only killed a child's father in an accidental traffic accident, and there are some more exaggerated stories that even a family of six died in a car accident and the protagonist was left alone, and then worked hard to improve .

Do you think such a story is not inspirational? It's inspirational!

You say it is not touching? It's very touching!

But if you ask Qiu Zhiguo to write a short story like this, you may not even be willing to write it. If these reasons are excluded, then "A Bowl of Clear Soup Yangchun Noodles" must have its special features.

Fortunately, the organizer of the Seven Star Literature Cup is very considerate in this regard. It has added a "comment area" function under each work early on. After reading the content of the short story, readers can speak freely on it and share with other readers. A sense of comfort.

Qiu Zhiguo, Qiu Ziyu and his son will not be the first readers of "A Bowl of Clear Soup and Yangchun Noodles", let alone the last readers of this story, at best they can only be regarded as the first batch of readers. After reading this story, the comment area below can be said to be quite lively.

"That's it!?"

"It seems that after watching the final works, I feel very ordinary."

"It seems that the reputation of chicken soup for the soul is very different from the chicken soup for the soul that I often see on the Weibo literature section."

"Even Chungang can't avoid the exhaustion of his talents?"

"..."

Among so many comments,

At first glance, a large part of the content is not very good and bad reviews. Qiu Ziyu should be overjoyed that the work of his direct competitor who won the championship was not favored by readers, but in fact he did not have the imagination. Happy, but with an indescribable sense of solemnity. Fortunately, among the many bad reviews, Qiu Ziyu found such a hot review:

"For a noodle shop, a few bowls of noodles may not be a big deal, but this kind of caring, trust and support between people is moving. The real value lies in comforting the desperate and warming the needy. , to give light to those who live in darkness, this is the most precious place in a society."

Qiu Ziyu suddenly realized something.

It is true that human beings are not creatures that live only for food, but there is a powerful thing in the world that seems useless, but it allows people to create more value in the future. This is the true meaning of this story!

Many readers responded to this comment.

It is conceivable that for Li Chungang, the evaluation of this short story, which has changed from the previous literary style, will inevitably show extreme polarization. Those who are tired of reading chicken soup will feel that the plot of this story is a little hypocritical, and think that Li Chungang’s this One creation is not up to standard, and there is no such wonderful reversal as the first two articles that make people overwhelmed after reading it.

But there were also many who expressed deep emotion.

This part of people is more likely to have endured the kindness of a stranger, even if it is just a trivial subconscious behavior or even a kind look in the eyes. The simple sentence "have a bowl of Yangchun noodles in clear soup".

Look at the number of readers' likes for each work on the final works display page at this time.

My final work is called "The Cobbler". It is also a sweet story that happened in a very ordinary family. Currently, the number of readers' likes ranks first among the ten final works. Word-of-mouth is very good, but before the start of the finals, Li Chungang, the favorite to win the championship, fell behind and ranked second. It can be seen that not everyone is willing to buy the short story of the opponent this time in the finals.

"Looks like there's a show!"

It would be a bit hypocritical to say that Qiu Ziyu was not happy at all. After all, everyone is a young man who has no vanity. Who wants to be the second child who can win the championship and take the first place.

Besides, from the perspective of a short story author, he still couldn't help feeling sorry for Li Chungang in his heart, because he felt that this "A Bowl of Clear Soup and Yangchun Noodles" was actually very powerful, and it was the kind that hit the heart directly. The strength of the softest part is just that this kind of novel will be somewhat disadvantaged when used to participate in competition-like competitions.

This loss is due to the fact that chicken soup articles have been too flooded in the past few years, which has caused readers to be somewhat "resistant".

In the words of online novels:

The equivalent of ten finalists all wrote about the same category.

My own work is the golden three chapters, brainless all the way to the end.

The other party used a writing technique of wanting to promote before suppressing, and the abuser who worked hard in the early stage.

If you were a reader, would you prefer the former or the latter?

 …

The final of the Seven Star Literature Cup itself has attracted special attention because of the sufficient publicity in the early stage. As the favorite to win the championship this year, Li Chungang's performance in the final should have attracted more attention, but the result was surprising. The second place, and there is still a big gap in the number of likes from the first-place readers.

"Teacher Chungang is second!?"

"Is this a shocking reversal?"

"Li Chungang, who is good at writing reversals, did not write reversals and was reversed."

"Senior Qiu Ziyu, come on!!! Thousands of students from Yanjing are supporting you!"

Pay attention to the official account: the base camp of book friends, pay attention to get cash and coins!

"Li Chungang's works in the sea selection and preliminary stage swept and crushed all the entries in the same period, but in the end, he encountered Waterloo in the most promising final and came in second. As his biggest competitor, Qiu Ziyu's final work "The Cobbler" I've finished watching it too, and it's far from amazing, but its ability beats its opponent and temporarily ranks first."

"It's really a bit upset."

"I have seen the works of both of them. Qiu Ziyu's story is already quite good in terms of live performance. Compared horizontally with the preliminary works of the audition, it can be regarded as an improvement and breakthrough. On the contrary, Li Chungang's work seems to be a personal story. Some adjustments have been made in the creative style, and now it seems that this adjustment is not well received by readers, one progress and one regress, so this has created the current situation!"
