Chapter 127 Transformed Beetle

The pace of winter has not yet gone far, but the Chinese Writers Association located in Chaoyang is in full swing.

The deadline for the "8th China Youth Author Literary Creation Competition" was already here yesterday. This year, 80 preliminary review and evaluation committees invited by the China Writers Association gathered together.

Everyone sat in front of the computer and listened to the director of the review meeting explaining the specific standards.

It has been eight years since the Youth Literature Creation Competition, and the judges selected every year are different.

As the saying goes, there are 1,000 Hamlets in a thousand readers, and each judge has his own preferences, which is somewhat contradictory to the participating works.

Because novels, poetry, and prose and other literary works have no standard answers to mathematics and physics.

In order to reduce misjudgment, each work will undergo at least three preliminary review committee readings, and only if two negatives are obtained will it be put into the pending area.

A large number of literary works will be screened out during the preliminary review process, and only 10% will enter the review process.

These 10% of literary works will be displayed anonymously on the Internet, magazines, newspapers and magazines.

Readers can vote to choose the most popular novels, poems, and prose.

This does not repeat the awards selected in the review.

The review means that all judges must read each work, then conduct a registered vote, and finally decide on the gold, silver and bronze medals.

The process is a little complicated, but it is more fair, and it is very difficult to get a PR award.

"For the fairness of this literary competition, all selections are in public form. Please take them seriously. All manuscripts are original works that have passed the review of big data. Whether the center is clear or not, whether the feelings are sincere, whether the content is detailed or thin, whether the article is artificial, please judge for yourself. Don't violate the scoring principle because of personal preferences. I believe that everyone is old comrades and know the degree. We want to add fresh blood to the literary world and not mix any personal feelings into it."

As the director of the jury of this competition, Lei Hao repeatedly instructed on the podium ahead that he is the editor-in-chief of the Literary and Art Daily and the vice president of the Chinese Writers Association, and that he is sufficient in both ability and qualifications to play this role.

After saying that, Lei Hao walked down from the podium. He wiped off the sweat from his forehead with a handkerchief. The writers, essayists and poets from all over the world were reviewing according to their classification.

The jury consists of 50 writers, 20 essayists and 10 poets is very powerful. Everyone is basically the kind of real material and has written popular works.

"I hope there will be some good seedlings in this generation!"

Lei Hao is now in his sixties. Seeing that the economy is becoming more and more developed, spiritual civilization construction is imminent, and he really wants to discover new writers.

There are talented people in the country who have emerged in the past, and they have been leading the way for hundreds of years.

Now this generation of leading literary masters is time to appear!

...

“It feels really good to be a judge.”

Excited and nervous, with a heavy responsibility

Wan Jinghai sat in front of his computer and looked around. He had a touch screen pen and a mouse in front of him. He could do whatever he felt comfortable.

He only joined the National Writers Association last year with the recommendation of the local Writers Association and has published several popular novels.

The reputation is very good, but the sales are average.

It’s enough to support a family, but it’s still a little bit worse to be rich.

He is young among these old grey-haired writers, and his qualifications are also very shallow.

Unexpectedly, I was directly selected to be the preliminary review committee of this Youth Literature Creation Competition, which really made the local writers envious and were so lucky!

Wan Jinghai has no experience at all, and has no idea how to pass or not. He can only rely on his reading feeling.

A good work that can attract oneself is a good work, and if you can't attract oneself, you won't pass it.

The length of prose and poems is very small, so the number of judges is much smaller.

Even if the maximum number of medium and short stories is stipulated, the review speed of the novel judges is still the slowest, no one!

Wan Jinghai's head exploded after reading several unexplained novels in a row.

"Xiao Wan, now you know that being a judge is not a good thing, but a coolie!" An old man wearing reading glasses next to him was drinking water and joking, "We have to be responsible for these works. After reading them today, go buy some eye drops."

"Old Lin, I really don't know if these people are brave or too confident. They dare to submit any novel."

Too eye-catching!

Who would like to read trash novels?

"That's why only 10% of the preliminary trial will be left to advance."

Wan Jinghai rubbed his eyes, and then continued to read the novel in front of him.

The three words "Metamorphosis" appeared in front of him.

[One morning, Zhang Wei woke up from an uneasy sleep and found himself lying on the bed and turned into a huge beetle.]

"Huh!"

This book seems to be of some interest, people turn into beetles.

Wan Jinghai's tired mind was instantly injected with vitality, and his eyes looked over the screen little by little.

Why turned into beetles?

What's special about this beetle?

The plot is so absurd, but the author's narrative is like a camera, without clear emotions or positions.

At the beginning of the novel, this unknown author narrates this strange and terrifying thing with an unrealistic attitude.

Then, the whole story unfolds in a puzzled situation.

After Zhang Wei became a beetle, he grew claws and tentacles, his spine was also arched, and his abdomen was spotted.

Wan Jinghai was shocked. What's going on with this protagonist?

The author has no surprise at all, nor does he try his best to portray Zhang Wei's inner activities after realizing his sudden change. He just objectively describes the protagonist Zhang Wei as always thinking about his work and is determined to catch the morning shuttle!

At this time, I still want to go to work.

How much salary did the boss give and how much ecstasy soup did he receive?

He is just a small travel salesman, not an indispensable position.

A beetle uses human mind to move its body, which is a very vivid description, as if it is seeing it with one's own eyes.

Time passed slowly, and the appearance of other characters in the novel made Wan Jinghai nervous. If he turned into a beetle, how would he treat his family? What would his family react?

But Zhang Wei had no similar reaction at all.

The author "coldly" describes how the protagonist drags the insect's body and gets out of bed, how he thinks and overcomes the influence of his new body, and how he falls down and doesn't hurt.

The behavior of a bug like Zhang Wei is extremely abnormal, and his narrative attitude is extremely calm, and he doesn't seem to be talking about a terrifying or terrifying event at all!

The narrative attitude forms a strong contrast with the story content, which forms an extremely weird effect.
