Chapter 423 The Sad One (Part 3)
Luoyang didn't know that his work had become a bargaining chip for others.
In the next few days, he kept writing science fiction works. He had created several classic science fiction stories in succession and stored them quietly in his computer.
The rules of the Dragon Kingdom Science Fiction Award are that short and medium-length science fiction works are entered into the competition. There are five rounds of competition, and the competitiveness becomes stronger each round. That is to say, in each round, a short or medium-length science fiction novel must be submitted. .
So Luoyang is going to write five short and medium science fiction works to participate in this competition.
The reason why the Times Classic Science Fiction Award is more valuable than the Dragon Kingdom Science Fiction Award is this - the selected works of the Times Classic are all full-length science fiction, while the Dragon Kingdom Science Fiction Award is for short and medium science fiction.
…
It's June 1st, the day when the Dragon Kingdom Science Fiction Award announces the results of the first round of competitions.
Luoyang logged into the official website of the Dragon Kingdom Science Fiction Award early in the morning and scanned the rows of science fiction works that had advanced to the second round. However, after reading all the advanced works, Luoyang still couldn't find "The Heartbreaker".
"Was eliminated?"
Luoyang's face was a little stunned.
He couldn't think of a reason why "Heartbreaker" should be eliminated.
This is an award-winning work in a previous life, with countless readers and fans, and is known as one of China's most classic short science fiction novels.
But such a classic work did not even pass the first round of the Dragon Kingdom Science Fiction Award - could it be said that the level of Dragon Kingdom science fiction novels has really reached a level that even "Heartbreaker" cannot touch?
The answer is obviously impossible. Dragon Kingdom science fiction has been weak for more than a day or two.
Everyone around the world knows this, and in this case, "Heartbreaker" has no reason to be eliminated.
Luoyang's app rang, and Hua Qi sent him a message: "Boss, the news that you were eliminated in the first round of the Dragon Kingdom Science Fiction Award seems to have been known to others. Now there are many people who are fanning the flames and setting the pace."
Seeing this news, Luoyang was stunned for a moment, and then seemed to vaguely smell something fishy in it.
As soon as he opened Weibo, he heard private messages flashing non-stop. At the same time, the webpage showed that many people were following Aite himself. After Luoyang's face sank slightly, he clicked on the private message.
"Teacher Luo, do you still write science fiction novels?"
"Tsk tsk, just feel free to write your martial arts novels. Do you still want to enter the field of science fiction?"
"Teacher Luo, did you really submit your article to the Dragon Kingdom Science Fiction Award, and you were eliminated in the first round?"
"We will always support you at Luo University. Science fiction novels are actually meaningless. If you are eliminated, just eliminate them. Don't be discouraged..."
"Luoda, please stop writing science fiction. It's a good thing that you were eliminated in the first round. Let's write two more martial arts novels. Our whole family really likes the martial arts novels you wrote!"
…
After reading the private message, Luoyang clicked on some of Aite's messages on Weibo.
Five minutes later, Luoyang read the news about Aite and finally knew the cause and effect of the matter.
It turned out that it was his submission to the Dragon Kingdom Science Fiction Award that was exposed. This was nothing at first. After all, the Dragon Kingdom Science Fiction Award had no threshold. Luoyang naturally did not violate any regulations by submitting his manuscript to them.
However, Luoyang's submission to the Longguo Science Fiction Award was magnified by someone who was interested.
Moreover, the opponent was currently seizing on Luoyang's elimination in the first round and making fun and ridicule.
The version at the beginning of the story came from a big V account, which claimed to have inside information: "Except for the nickname, according to an internal source from the Science Fiction Association, Luoyang, a famous martial arts artist, also submitted an article to the Dragon Kingdom Science Fiction Award, and because the quality was so bad, it was not accepted in the first round. He was killed."
A famous martial arts master submitted an article to the Dragon Kingdom Science Fiction Award, which immediately aroused the interest of some people.
Then, as if they had made an appointment, several science fiction writers also forwarded the message and attached a smiley face.
This smiling face seems very subtle, because in the minds of modern netizens, smiling faces have always been a very subtle expression. It can be used to laugh at oneself or others——
This is a murderous expression.
Are the smiley faces attached to this message shared by several science fiction writers mocking themselves?
Obviously not, then their meaning is already obvious, they are laughing at Luoyang.
Immediately afterwards, several literati also forwarded the message, and added a postscript, seemingly encouraging: "Courage is commendable."
Things just got louder and louder, and Luoyang seemed to have suddenly become a laughing stock. In the end, Huang Gang, the fairy tale king of the Dragon Kingdom, also retweeted Weibo, and Aite Luoyang said: "Is Mr. Luo going to abandon martial arts and enter science fiction? Tsk tsk, look. The emperor of science fiction is coming..."
Finally, Huang Gang also caught up with the Internet fashion.
At the end of the text, he added a meaningful smiley face emoticon.
At the same time, Huang Gang's comments below were also ridiculing Luoyang.
"The transition from martial arts to science fiction? Our teacher Luo's idea is very science fiction. After all, martial arts is still difficult to reach the level of elegance."
"But Luoyang is not good at writing, so it is ridiculous to write science fiction. Is this the first round of the legendary competition?"
"It's shameful for me. If Luoyang can pass the first round of the Dragon Kingdom Science Fiction Award, then our Dragon Kingdom Science Fiction Society is really hopeless."
"I can't imagine what it would be like for a martial arts novelist to write science fiction. Is it about earthlings using martial arts and internal strength to fight aliens?"
"The judges of the Longguo Science Fiction Award are powerful. They rejected Luoyang's work in the first round. But I now suspect that Luoyang wrote science fiction just for hype. Now he has caused a large-scale topic again."
"This person is an expert in hype. His hype methods are simply hard to guard against. But it is really disgusting to use Longguo science fiction to hype. Everyone knows that our Longguo science fiction is very fragile and can't withstand his tossing!"
Looking at these heart-piercing comments, Luoyang's face has completely turned cold.
There must be a problem, and the root of the problem must be the review of the judges.
With the excellent quality of "The Heartbroken", it is impossible to be rejected, unless someone forced this work to be rejected!
From the current situation, the judge who is responsible for the review of "The Heartbroken" is the most suspicious, but everything has a motive. Why did the reviewer reject his own work? Was he instructed by someone?
Luoyang couldn't figure it out, but it didn't prevent Luoyang from taking action.
He decided to find out the judge who was responsible for reviewing "The Heartbroken" first.
After making up his mind, Luoyang directly posted on Weibo: "I don't know which judge of the Science Fiction Association reviewed my work, but I am sure that he will regret it."
