Chapter 508: Change Your Mindset
One month later.
Wednesday, June 6th.
The "Overseas Influence of Chinese Literature" award was officially awarded.
From the competition in the previous month, "Lord of Fools" has a crushing level in terms of the number of foreign readers, reader payment rate, online popularity, and number of votes. The second place Jia Shenqian's poetry collection, although It received the highest score from the judges, but other data was completely disappointing.
In line with the principle of fairness and impartiality, and not wanting to be forced to look decent, the judges awarded the first place in this year's "Overseas Influence of Chinese Literature" to the online novel: "The Lord of Fools".
Pu Jie was disheartened and went to Shanghai to receive the award.
Even if a flight attendant recognized Pu Jie and wanted to invite him to experience the comfort of the staff toilet, she was no longer interested.
Looking at the four bright red words "Mission Failed" in the system.
Pu Jie felt that he was hopeless.
It was as if we had entered the time of the wise.
The failure of the special challenge and the failure to open a successful new module made the planning of this "Lord of Fools" fall short.
"I've spent so much effort, damn it!"
"I'm so mean! Why do you want them to recommend Zhongshan International? Even if I don't recommend this year's second-place Jia Shenqian, I can still beat him by 10!"
Look at the collection of poems I wrote
"Cucumber is not just for eating"
when lonely,
cucumber,
Undoubtedly,
The best in the world.
"What the hell is this called poetry?"
Pu Jie was really surprised. He prepared a big meal, but in the end the person competing with him for the first place turned out to be this kind of player.
Of course, it's not that weird to think that she won the unanimous vote of the judges.
Fortunately, in the end, for the sake of dignity, the first place was given to him.
“Better than nothing”
In the studio, the host took the microphone and shouted passionately into the camera:
"The awarding of the Chinese Literature World Influence Award has officially begun! The shortlisted works this time are"
"."
"."
Pu Jie attended the award ceremony boredly, read out the speech written by Assistant Qi boredly, and finally looked at the second indignant eyes. The life of a coder is so simple and boring.
"Wait a minute! Mr. Pu Jie, can we interview you?"
Pu Jie got off the podium, thinking he had finally avoided the cameras that were about to hit his face, but a microphone almost stuck in his mouth.
Pujie touched his nose.
Usually it's the other way around.
The person holding the microphone is a girl with short hair and eyes. Although she is not particularly beautiful, she is clean and tidy.
If Pu Jie were to score it based on his rich experience in pure love as God of War, it would be .65, which is 5 points more temperament than the passing line.
"Can I not accept the interview? To be honest, I'm not in a particularly good mood right now."
Pu Jie held this year's trophy with countless pains in his heart.
The mission failed, what use do I have for this trophy!
Pooh!
If I had known to write a book called "Online Game: Almighty Druid 2", at least I wouldn't have to put in so much effort!
When the girl with glasses heard Pu Jie's subtle rejection, not only was she not disappointed, but there was a glint in her eyes as if she had smelled prey.
"Are you saying that winning the first place in this year's Chinese Literature Overseas Impact Award doesn't make you happy? What's the reason? What do you think of the selection criteria? Or do you feel that this year's Overseas Impact Award and Are your competitors too weak?"
The girl with glasses had a lot of questions popping up in her little mouth.
Pujie sighed
"It's nothing, it's just that I haven't dealt with some personal matters well."
The girl with glasses has now become dependent on Pu Jie.
While holding the microphone towards Pu Jie's mouth, he followed closely and kept talking.
"Can Mr. Pu Jie give me 5 minutes? I really want to interview you. As far as I know, you have created miracles many times in the field of online novels. Can you tell us about your experience? ?”
Pu Jie was chased for a long time, but seeing that the reporter with small glasses was really persistent and sincere, he simply stopped.
"Okay. I'll give you five minutes to ask."
Just as Pu Jie finished speaking, three strong men came out from beside him.
One was holding a camera, the other was holding a fill light, and the other rushed out to put makeup on Pu Jie.
Pu Jie: "?"
Such a professional!
You three have been with me for a long time!
Can I have another woman do my makeup? This guy smells like perfume and has pigtails. I’m so scared!
A few people worked very efficiently and everything was done in just 1 minute.
Mr. Pu just felt like his face had been photographed hundreds of times by Brother Pigtail. He didn’t know what kind of liquid or powder it was, but he could see through the lens of the camera that he felt a lot more energetic.
"Mr. Pu, thank you for accepting the interview with our China Observation program team. As far as we know, the style of each online novel you wrote is completely different, but each one is a hit, and the results are getting higher and higher. What gives you so much confidence?”
Pu Jie's mouth twitched slightly
"Actually, I just want to try to see if I can save a book. Who knows how popular it is? I also want to know the reason!"
The bespectacled girl smiled: "With a high emotional intelligence, Mr. Pu is indeed personable and humorous."
Pu Jie: "?"
"I saw that you were not very interested in the award ceremony just now. Can you tell me specifically why?"
Pu Jie: "Alas, I guessed the beginning, but I didn't guess the ending. I lost something important. It's useless to win the award. I can only say that things are unpredictable and things will happen."
The girl with glasses didn't delve into the reason. She could see that Pu Jie didn't want to talk about it, and she didn't want to waste precious interview time.
Instead, she continued with the next question: "Mr. Pu, you won the award this time. It is in line with the will of thousands of netizens. Your online support rate is as high as 80%! More than 10 million foreign netizens voted for you. Such a great influence has exceeded the upper limit of writers in the online literature industry. I saw that during the live broadcast just now, many netizens typed the title of "King of Online Literature" on the public screen. What do you think of this?"
"Hiss~ Am I so awesome?" Pu Jie also took a breath.
He knew he would win this time, but he didn't expect it to be so overwhelming.
At this time, hearing the reporter's question, Pu Jie suddenly became energetic and thought of another way to operate.
His eyes lit up again!
"The King of Online Literature. Well, what an interesting title. You just asked me why I can get to where I am now. Actually, my dream is to become the King of Online Literature and make people all over the world crazy about the novels I write!"
Everyone took a breath.
"Hiss!"
After a few more questions, Pu Jie swept away his fatigue and began to respond actively, directly pulling his image to the fullest!
Even if the interview time was extended to half an hour, Pu Jie was not in a hurry.
Finally, the glasses girl program team finished the interview and left with satisfaction.
Pu Jie adjusted his collar and prepared to leave
Suddenly, a rough hand grabbed Pu Jie.
It was the braided makeup artist. He deliberately lagged behind by two steps, and then shyly took out a small note and stuffed it into Pu Jie's hand.
"Mr. Pu, I think life is impermanent, and large intestine wrapped in meat sausage is more appropriate~"
A word slowly appeared above Pu Jie's head:?
Standing there and pondering for a moment. Suddenly, a chill came.
"Fuck! Damn Nantong!"
Pu Jie hurriedly left the program room and flew back to Kyoto with Assistant Qi overnight.
The next day, Mr. Pu went to work!
His mental state was full again!
"Haha~ dog system, although I lost this time, I almost won the whole game!"
On the same day, he arranged for multiple departments of Duoyu Company to work.
"From now on, the online literature department will fully operate 'Pu Dingle', that is, me, to expand my influence in the online literature industry!"
"Dachun, you take Duoyu Animation and start adapting my book"
"Lao Meng, vigorously promote "World of Warcraft", and also promote my "Online Game of Almighty Druid" by the way, so that everyone knows that this game is extracted from this book!"
"Zhang Yang, the production department has a new project, find the best team at home and abroad, and produce a series of "Lord of Fools" for me! Money? If there is not enough money, you can get it from your science fiction Take it from the movie! Synchronous production!"
"Yuan Hua, find two of the best artists to make comics for "The Almighty Druid in Online Games" and "Lord of Fools" that I wrote in Zhongshan Novels! No matter how much it costs! What? You've already found someone to draw, you're amazing!"
"Duoyu Audiobook Department, put all my novels online for audio reading. They've been online with my books for a long time, right? Many of the subscriptions are directed by your audiobook readers? I can do it, awesome."
Pu Zong is now ready to go, he wants to accomplish something big!
Once it's done, he won't be bound by the system anymore.
