Chapter 199 The Novel Contest and Earning [-] Million Dollars

"In three months, the biennial 'Xiaoyao Cup' novel contest will begin." Director Wu Guokun said, "You have an excellent talent for reading books, and the Reading League would like to invite you to be the judge of the novel contest."

"Judge?" Liu Xing frowned slightly.

"That's right." Director Wu Guokun explained, "Although you are not yet a book appraiser, your rare book appraising intuition can play a greater role than a book appraiser. Therefore, the Tianhai City Book Appreciation Association is going to recommend you to the Reading League Be a judge for a novel contest."

The Xiaoyao Cup Novel Contest was founded by the book king Xiaoyaoke. It has been successfully held for 20 sessions so far. It is one of the four most influential novel contests in China.

The novel competition is held every two years, and each competition can attract the top writers in the country to participate. It is the most watched competition in the Chinese reading circle.

The ratings of the TV live broadcast of each novel contest are far ahead of other programs.

The biggest highlight of the novel contest is the peak duel of top writers. Every novel contest will emerge many excellent works leading the trend of novels.

The novel contest has become the most anticipated annual event for Chinese scholars.

In such a large-scale competition, the importance of the judges of the competition is self-evident.

The judges of the Xiaoyao Cup Novel Contest are all top book appraisers.

In Huaxia Kingdom, there are grades for book appraisers, with the highest being level six and the lowest being level one.

The level of undergraduate students in the Department of Book Appreciation is about the first-level book appraiser, and the master's degree is the second-level book appraiser. Only doctoral students can pass the third-level book appraiser examination.

The judges of the Book Appreciation Contest must at least obtain the certificate of a fourth-level book appraiser.

Therefore, these judges are old book appraisers who have worked in the book appraisal department for decades, and most of them are over 60 years old.

Liu Xing has not even obtained a first-level book appraiser certificate, and he has not even heard the basic courses of the first-year book appraiser, but now he is invited to be a judge of a novel competition. This is definitely the No.1 in the history of China. .

"Director Wu, isn't this appropriate?" Liu Xing said frankly, "I don't really know anything about book appraisal theory."

Director Wu Guokun said: "It doesn't matter, your identity is the consultant of the jury, and the work you are responsible for is different from that of ordinary judges."

After his explanation, Liu Xing basically understood.

Liu Xing is not very interested in being a judge of the novel competition. After all, his goal is to cultivate immortals, and reading novels is the kingly way.

If you want to cultivate immortals, you need a lot of novels. He has only collected 10 novels about people in the shadows that can fascinate him, and the number is far from enough.

To cultivate immortality, he must attract more excellent writers to help him write novels.

Obviously, this novel competition is an excellent opportunity.

The contestants of the novel contest are all first-class writers. If Liu Xing can take the opportunity to meet some excellent writers from all over the country, Liu Xing's road to immortality will definitely be smoother.

Considering these, Liu Xing thinks it is not a bad idea to serve as the judge of the competition.

Even as a judge, he can still find time to continue reading novels.

"Since you have agreed, I will convey your intention to the Book Appreciation Association." Director Wu Guokun said, "After a while, you should be able to receive the invitation letter from the Reading Union, and there will be some related s arrangement."

Liu Xing nodded.

Director Wu Guokun left after talking about the novel contest.

……

seven days later.

Wang Lanlan's "Detective Wang Nan: The Shadow Man" was fully released in Tianhai City.
Meteor Book Bar is the general agent of this novel, and all 10 novels were sent to Meteor Book Bar.

In order to prevent the meteor bookstore from being overwhelmed, Liu Xing distributed 10 novels, and 129 bookstores in Fiction Street jointly undertook the sales of "Detective Wang Nan: The Shadowman".

On the first day of sales, the number of customers on Novels Street increased by more than four times than usual, and the whole street was crowded with readers who came to buy books.In order to maintain order at the scene, Tianhai City also dispatched more than 50 police officers.

In just three days, 10 copies of "Detective Wang Nan: The Shadow Man" were sold out.

With this novel, Wang Lanlan earned 1 million yuan, and directly entered the top ten richest female writers in Tianhai City.

……

Meteor Book Bar, the bar in the lobby on the first floor.

Wang Lanlan was sitting in front of a computer, her big piercing eyes were looking at the computer screen, and the webpage on the screen displayed the deposit information of a bank card.

The depositor is "Wang Lanlan", and the deposit amount is "100000000 yuan".

At this time, Wang Lanlan was staring intently at the long string of numbers on the screen, with unconcealable joy on her face.

The 1 million yuan is the manuscript fee she received today, all from "Detective Wang Nan: The Shadowman".

This is the first time Wang Lanlan has seen so much money at such a young age.

"How about it? Doesn't it feel good to have 1 million yuan in the bank card?" At this time, a voice came from behind, it was Liu Xing.

"Yeah." Wang Lanlan nodded again and again, "It feels like a dream, to make so much money all at once."

Liu Xing cut to the chase: "When will you remit 7000 million to me?"

Wang Lanlan said: "Don't worry, the money will be remitted to you sooner or later, please let me watch it for a few more days."

Liu Xing was curious: "Are you really willing to remit 7000 million to me?"

"There's nothing I can do if I can't bear it. Without your help, I wouldn't be able to earn this money. You deserve it." Wang Lanlan curled her lips, "Besides, grandpa told me that a writer can't care about money, otherwise it will be very difficult." It is difficult to write works with spirituality. I have left 3000 million yuan for myself, which is a lot, and I may not be able to spend it all in this lifetime.”

Liu Xing was a little surprised, this girl's ideological realm is quite high, she is worthy of being cultivated by Wang Tairan.

The two were chatting, at this moment, the TV in the hall suddenly played a program - "Interview with Yaxin".

When the program started to air, Wang Lanlan's attention was immediately attracted.

Because the guest interviewed in tonight's "Interview with Yaxin" is none other than Wang Lanlan.

With the hot sales of "Detective Wang Nan: The Shadow Man", Wang Lanlan made a net profit of 1 million yuan in seven days, becoming the youngest billionaire in Tianhai City and one of the richest female writers.

Therefore, Zhang Yaxin invited Wang Lanlan to Tianhai TV Station yesterday to record an episode of "Interview with Yaxin".

The show is on air.

"Viewers in front of the TV, welcome to tonight's "Interview with Yaxin". The guest we invited today is a lively and lovely little girl writer. You may not have heard of her name, but you must have The novel she wrote - "Detective Wang Nan"..."

After a simple monologue, the program entered the interview segment.

"Wang Lanlan, you have written three novels in two years, each of which is very successful. "Detective Wang Nan" sold more than 120 million copies, "Detective Wang Nan: The Strange Case of Shooting the Carving Book and Coffin" sold more than 170 million copies, and "Detective Wang Nan" sold more than 2 million copies. The sales of Detective Wang Nan: The Shadow Man exceeded [-] million yuan." Zhang Yaxin asked, "What do you think is the secret of your success?"

"The secret of success? It should be my luck. I don't have any talent. I started to learn writing since I was a child, but I can't write well." Wang Lanlan said, "I can persist, mainly thanks to three people."

"The first person I want to thank is my grandpa. He is my No.1 loyal reader and my No.1 mentor in writing. Grandpa let me know what a novel is, what a novelist is, and what he taught made me I benefit from it all my life."

"The second person I want to thank is Liu Xing. He is my best confidant. He has read each of my works many times and made many suggestions. Without Liu Xing, I might have given up writing a long time ago. Hmm , I am really fortunate to have such a close friend like Liu Xing, although he is a bit stingy, hee hee."

"The third person I want to thank is the shadow man. Without the shadow man, there would be no "Detective Wang Nan: The Shadow Man"."

……

The program continued to play, and Wang Lanlan watched it with gusto.

This is her first time on a TV show, so everything is naturally very fresh.

An hour later, the show finally ended.

"Liu Xing, do you think the shadow people can see tonight's "Interview with Yaxin"?" Wang Lanlan asked suddenly.

"what happened?"

"The Shadowman once said that when my "Detective Wang Nan: The Shadowman" comes out, he will come to me and ask me to give him a novel." Wang Lanlan blinked her big eyes and asked seriously, " Do you think the shadow man will come?"

Liu Xing said: "The shadowy man is a big shot, how can he have time to deal with a brat like you?"

"That's not true, the shadow man must be an uncle who obeys and admits." Wang Lanlan rolled her eyes, remembering something, and asked, "By the way, Liu Xing, who do you think the shadow man's girlfriend is?"

"Why do you suddenly care about this?"

"I originally thought that the black shadow man and sister Xin were a good match. The black shadow man has rescued sister Xin several times, and they are really a couple in a lifetime." Wang Lanlan's thin eyebrows curved like crescent moons, "But, the black shadow man also rescued sister Xin last time. I passed Sister Yaxin once, and Sister Yaxin is also very beautiful. I feel that she and the shadow man seem to be quite suitable. You said that if the shadow man chooses a girlfriend, will he choose sister Xin or sister Yaxin? Woolen cloth?"

Liu Xing said: "This question is not difficult, choose the one with a good figure..."

"..." Wang Lanlan despised him, "There is no such thing as a black shadow talent."
……

In the evening, in the reading room.

Liu Xing was holding a copy of "Man of the Ever-changing Shadows" in his hand, and was concentrating on reading, and the pictures in his mind were changing rapidly.

These pictures are not brand new pictures, but transformed from the pictures of "The Flash of the Shadow Man".
