Huayu: As a child star, I just want to be famous

Chapter 116 Kirin Cup

Zhao Changtian came to see Chen Linfeng not just for this matter, so he could have just talked about it on the phone.

"Starting next year, the New Concept Essay Contest will no longer be able to provide college admissions for first-prize winners. Everyone is worried about the future development of the contest."

He asked, "Do you have any good ideas?"

Chen Linfeng had no other choice. Most of those parents and students came to participate in the competition mainly for the purpose of admission. Without this, they would definitely not be so enthusiastic in the future.

Moreover, considering the various disturbances caused by the competition in recent years, it would be better to have fewer admissions.

He has never liked this kind of activity, which is unfair and prone to shady dealings.

Chen Linfeng was not in a position to express his inner thoughts, and just kept reassuring them that the New Concept Competition had already made a name for itself.

It is always an honor for students and should attract quite a few people to participate.

Zhao Changtian didn't respond, but just sighed.

Chen Linfeng understood it immediately. He had already been keeping this in mind, but it was probably difficult to speak out.

He simply asked directly, "Uncle Zhao, do you have any ideas?"

Zhao Changtian hesitated for a while and said, "I was thinking that you could be a judge in the next competition.

Then, you can open another column in your name so that the award-winning children can submit popular literary works after your guidance.

Then we will select the best works and publish them together with your short novellas. What do you think?"

Isn’t this the Voice of China in later generations? The team teacher leads the selected students to debut.

Chen Linfeng didn't mind helping, but he felt that it would be time-consuming and the effect would not be very good.

After all, most of the participants in the New Concept Competition are children with a literary bent. Asking them to change track and tell stories temporarily may not necessarily lead to any good results.

He thought about it and said, "Let's change our thinking.

Uncle Zhao, your original intention of organizing the New Concept Competition was probably to revitalize Mengya Magazine, right? "

Zhao Changtian nodded, this was indeed true.

"In that case, why don't we put aside the New Concept Competition and start a new one."

As the sales of Chen Linfeng's works are becoming more and more exaggerated every year, more and more people are learning to create according to his ideas and rhythm.

Most of these people are young, and many of them publish their works directly online.

If you want to attract people to watch your content online, you need to work harder on the way you tell stories.

Many people directly wrote according to his novel worldview, which was the early fan fiction.

This has led to Chen Linfeng's name becoming the most famous on the Internet, especially among those who create works online.

“So we came up with a new model, setting up awards directly for online novels and getting some strong magazines to endorse them, such as Harvest, which is edited by Cheng.

By then, you will have fame and bonuses, and you won’t have to worry about not getting good works.”

Zhao Changtian understood the key point of Xiao Chen's words. Setting up literary awards is nothing new. Setting up awards for online novels is the key.

He doesn't pay much attention to online novels, and to be honest, he doesn't take them seriously.

But this was the idea proposed by Chen Linfeng after all, and now the magazine is increasingly relying on this great writer.

It was difficult for him to refute, and there was no need for him to refute. There was no harm in setting up another award.

I'm just thinking about whether it makes sense to do this and how much resources should be invested if it is really to be done.

Seeing that Editor-in-Chief Zhao was lost in thought, Chen Linfeng added, "I can pay for the first prize. Two million should be enough. In return, I want the title of this award."

He lacks everything now except money. 200 million is not a lot for him. If he can have a good reputation, plus a big prize that may be able to continue in the long run, and even repay the favor of Mengya, it can be considered great value.

If the award is really established in the future, it will not be his turn to pay.

Zhao Changtian was shocked. "So many?"

He quickly advised, "Even if you make some money from writing these books, you can't spend it recklessly. They are using your name to make money, so you don't have to pay for it."

He thought that the commune would contribute some money and then find others. It would be good to collect a few hundred thousand yuan from the company. Who would have thought that this guy wanted to make such a big fuss.

Nowadays, if there is a prize of millions, those who are engaged in literature must be crazy.

"Since we are going to do it, let's hold it at the standard of a grand prize. If the prize money is higher, maybe we can attract more people to participate and submit their works."

The rewards at the beginning must be attractive enough to give you a chance to gain a head start.

Chen Linfeng explained, "Don't worry, I'm not acting on impulse, and I can make the decision on this amount of money myself. If you don't believe me, you can ask Sister Mei."

Zhao Changtian agreed with some hesitation. With so much money as a gimmick, he could attract more units to endorse the award and raise the official level of the award.

Online novels are just beginning to develop, and it would be great if there was a highest domestic award standing out at this time.

As long as you win this award, you will be able to attain sainthood and transcend the ordinary world.

As time goes by, it is very likely to take root in the growing online literature.

In the long run, as the initiator and the source of the prize, Chen Linfeng's gains are far more than what the two million can buy.

In the end, Zhao Changtian couldn't refuse this huge temptation.

He and Chen Linfeng agreed that the name of the competition would be the Qilin Cup Novel Grand Prix, and the biggest prize would be called the Supreme Online Literature Award, which was full of second-year secondary school feeling.

The competition mainly includes novels published on the Internet, and the application is extremely simple. For novels published on various websites, one only needs to submit the title of the novel and related information through the website.

The only requirement for doing this is that the physical publication of the online article will be the responsibility of Mengya.

It can basically be confirmed that this will cover the vast majority of online novels. After all, it is just reporting information and no additional operations are required. What if you win?

The scale of online literature is not large enough now, so there is no need to set a threshold for the time being.

Offline submissions are also acceptable, but a separate award will be given and will not overlap with the highest award for online writing.

In order to prevent shady dealings, the award judging rules are based directly on data.

At the request of Editor-in-Chief Zhao, the criteria will not be announced to the public, but in any case, we will not select works that have never been heard of.

The two of them simply confirmed the issues of principle, and Chen Linfeng would leave the rest to Sister Mei to follow up and be responsible for.

"So Sister Mei, the follow-up matter is left to you."

The next day, Chen Linfeng explained the whole matter to Sister Mei, and then he could let it go.

"Okay, I see."

Sister Mei took note of this and then talked about the expert named Tang whom she met two months ago.

This person was originally an associate professor at a certain university and was about to be evaluated for the title of full professor, but it now appears that his application has failed.

Some of his previous articles had some ulterior motives and were criticized by many of his peers. Now, he might even lose his position as associate professor.

"I will keep an eye on him and give him some eye drops from time to time. Anyway, I will not let this old man who is academically dishonest have an easy time."

Sister Mei spoke very firmly.

This is of course.

Thanks to the profits from Chen Linfeng’s initial investment in NetEase.

In June this year, Penguin went public and he invested a lot. It will be no problem for him to make a few small profits in a few years.

In addition, Chen Linfeng also moved back some of the money and bought shares in some domestic forums.

Although these forums will not bring any investment returns, from the perspective of public opinion, the power of the Internet is now gradually becoming apparent.

As a person from later generations, Chen Linfeng certainly pays great attention to this aspect.

He also specifically asked Sister Mei to recruit people and set up a network group in Long Yu Qilin Company to guide public opinion.

Many administrators of major forums are directly from the company's network group.

It is not difficult to torture a so-called "expert" whose reputation has been ruined.
