The King of Crossover Entertainment.

Chapter 137 0137, Rising Star
"Which short story do you think will win the first prize in this national short story competition?"

"The Bandage Monster Villa Murder Case is very stable, trust me."

"The author has a lot of imagination, especially the murderer's alibi, which is very cleverly written."

"Isn't it good to watch "Family Comedy" and have fun? Why do you have to watch something so scary?"

"Whether it's short stories, novellas, or novels, mystery novels always come in second. This time, mystery novel fans, can you give me some support?"

……

The circle of short stories is very small, as not many people read them because the number of words is too short. But those who love to read them will love them very much.

The National Short Story Competition held every three years is a feast for short stories.

Even if it was already 11 o'clock in the evening, I would still stay in front of the computer and mobile phone, constantly refreshing the rankings to see if the number of votes for the short story I supported had increased.

Yan Jing, a famous domestic short story writer, is one of them.

Among the hundred short stories, his favorite is "The Murder in the Villa of the Bandaged Monster".

"Why are you more nervous than entering your own work into the competition?"

Various emotions such as anticipation, excitement, excitement, anxiety, etc. surged into Yanjin's heart. It had been a long time since I felt this way.

It is rare to see an author who writes such a good short mystery novel in China, maybe this is the sympathy between masters.

In fact, the number of votes for "The Bandage Monster Villa Murder Case" increased a lot in the last two or three hours, and it has opened up a considerable gap with the second place. The first place has been secured, and Yan Jing is waiting for the list to be announced after midnight to see who the author is and whether he knows him.

There were no surprises in the results.

The list of winners was also announced at 12:05 on the official WeChat circle of the National Short Story Competition.

"Yunfeng?"

Yan Jing recalled it carefully, but was still very unfamiliar with this name. He had never heard of this person in the mystery novel circle or the short story circle.

Probably a newcomer.

That's really impressive, the level of writing of detective novels and short stories is very high.

At this time, Yan Jing's daughter came out of the room to get some water. Seeing that he was still playing with his phone on the sofa in the living room, she asked, "Dad, you haven't slept yet?"

Yan Jin smiled at his daughter and said, "Right away, go to bed right away."

After the daughter got the water, she sat next to him and said with a smile: "Dad, are you doing something bad behind my mom's back?"

"Don't accuse me, or your mother will be upset again." Yan Jin handed the phone to her and explained, "I am a judge for the National Short Story Competition. I am checking the results now."

"Let me see." The daughter squinted her eyes and took a look, then suddenly exclaimed, "Yunfeng!"

Yan Jin gently hit her hand and said, "Don't make so much noise, you'll wake up your mother." Then he asked, "Do you know this 'Yunfeng'?"

"I wonder if it's the 'Yunfeng' I know." The daughter smiled and said, "He's a singer-songwriter who's very popular on the Internet recently. The songs he sings and writes are so beautiful."

"Ah?" Yan Jin was stunned for a moment and asked, "Singer?"

The daughter nodded and said, "Yes, a singer. He is only eighteen years old this year."

Hearing that this "Yunfeng" was only eighteen years old, Yan Jin ruled it out and said, "It could be, possibly, or maybe they are two people with the same name."

The daughter shrugged, stood up and said, "Dad, I'm going back to my room. You should go to bed early too."

Yan Jin nodded and said, "Yes."

After his daughter left, Yan Jin took out his mobile phone, clicked on the short story circle, browsed around, and confirmed that this Yunfeng was indeed the Yunfeng who sang. So he created a new post and started editing the content.

at the same time.

There is a new hot search on the Weibo hot list: A genius student from Shanghai Conservatory of Music crosses over to the novel world.

"Oh my god, are these two 'Yunfeng' the same person?"

"The book "The Bandage Monster Villa Murder Case" is very educational, story-telling, popular and entertaining. I always thought the author would be a well-known and experienced big shot, but unexpectedly, it was written by a new author." "I love his songs. It turns out that he can also write novels."

"He can sing, he can write songs, and now he can write novels. He is really amazing."

……

Readers were very surprised by this.

They could never have imagined that the winner of the first prize in this national short story competition would be a new author, and a cross-border author at that.

The gap is too great.

A good short story is very difficult to write. Due to the word limit, the text must be concise, the narration must be clear and concise, and the story must be strong. To do this, you cannot use gorgeous and complex words and long lyrical passages to increase the beauty of the story. This requires good control and a good cultural foundation.

However, writing a detective short story is even more difficult, as it requires planning an impossible crime like a rigorous murderer, designing clues like threading a needle, thinking in a jumpy way like playing a game with oneself, and so on.

It is not enough to write a story clearly in a few thousand words; it must also be written vividly and excitingly.

Therefore, readers will subconsciously think that the authors of the first three works must have written short stories of the same type and achieved some success.

At this time, Yan Jin posted a message in the short story circle: "Yunfeng won the first prize in this national short story competition, just like the case described in "The Bandage Monster Villa Murder Case", which was unexpected but reasonable. I hope Yunfeng can create more good short stories for us while bringing us beautiful songs."

A special compliment from a famous writer of short mystery novels.

A stone stirred up a thousand waves.

A few minutes later, the author of "Funny Family", which won the second prize and is a famous short story writer Bai Haichang, commented on the post: "This is a rising star in the short story world."

Then, the author of "Sleepless on a Rainy Night", which won the third prize and is a famous romantic novelist Fu Peihan, also commented in the post: "I wrote this article "Sleepless on a Rainy Night" after listening to "Steady Happiness". I didn't expect to lose to the songwriter in this national short story competition. I don't know whether I should be happy or upset."

Many other participating authors followed them and commented on this post.

“Witnessed the birth of a talented short story writer.”

"Indeed, the first short story won the first prize in the hands of many famous writers. It is not an exaggeration to use the word 'genius' to describe it."

"What a pity, we didn't see the spectacular scene of the new song topping the charts."

"Come on, if you can come up with a few more works as good as "The Bandage Monster Villa Murder Case", will you still let us play?"

"I lost to my favorite singer in the short story competition, but I still have an honor in defeat."

……

At this moment, Zheng Rong, who was doing Weibo on the bed, was extremely impressed by Yunfeng.

Singing, writing songs, playing musical instruments, drawing comics, writing novels, writing short stories, if this is not genius, then what is?

"I finally understand why he chose such a strange pen name as 'Crossover King'."

Jung Yong put his phone down, put his hands on his head with his palms on the back of his head, stared at the ceiling, and couldn't help but smile brightly.

In his opinion, the talents Yunfeng has shown in the three fields of music, novels and comics are no longer ordinary geniuses, but geniuses among geniuses.

Once again, he felt proud of himself for his decisiveness in cooperating with Yunfeng at that time. If he had missed such an opportunity, he would regret it to death.

The competition in the short story market is equally fierce and cruel, and everyone wants to get such a talented writer.

Several storytelling publications and short story magazines in China are all ready to extend an olive branch to Yunfeng and recruit him to their ranks.

Obviously, Zheng Rong also realized this and felt that he should prepare for the future.

but……

Yunfeng is now a shareholder of Xianqi Magazine, so he should not go far away to cooperate with other magazines.

There is an old saying that goes, "Good things should be kept within the family."

Thinking of this, Zheng Rong put his heart back in his stomach.
