Chapter 1541 Short Relay Race

I believe that smart readers have already figured out by now that if you want to win such a team battle, the most important thing is not how well your short story is written, but whether the eight short stories together form an excellent whole story.

So after hearing the specific rules of this competition, the other three mentors immediately congratulated Teacher Luo, saying that Teacher Luo's team would definitely win this round.

Teacher Luo also showed a rare smile on his face, because this team competition mode really gave Teacher Luo a great chance of winning.

Later, during the team's collective discussion, Mr. Luo directly stated the fundamental reason for his high winning rate.

"For a big story made up entirely of eight short stories, the most important thing is not how wonderful the big story is, but that the big story itself should be seamless, interconnected, and without serious logical loopholes."

"Then this is not just about what happens between the protagonists of the story, but also involves the background description of the novel, the history and culture, the personalities of other supporting characters in the novel, as well as the detailed relationships and connections between the many characters, etc."

“If not only the main characters in the eight short stories can be connected to each other, but even the supporting characters in the novels can be linked together, then more than half of the big story will be left.”

"This requires the entire story to be in a relatively complete world view. The other three teams may need to temporarily write such a world view, but we only have five days in total. It is simply impossible to get the approval of all team members and write a complete and appropriate world view within five days, not to mention leaving time for you to write separate short stories."

"So I can guarantee that the worldviews of the other three teams will be a mess in the end. Either the worldview is extremely simple, without any background, just a linear story. Or it may be rich, but it is a mess when tangled together, with many mistakes and omissions."

"But this is a huge advantage for us, because we don't need to design any world view at all. We write fan stories about the Chinese world. So we only need to design your characters and stories in the already extremely complete world view of the Chinese world based on the dynasties and backgrounds you know."

"We all grew up watching the Chinese worldview, so it shouldn't be a problem to fit our own stories into the entire Chinese worldview. And as long as your story doesn't involve major changes in the entire Chinese world, that is, changes of dynasties, or the sudden death of important historical figures, then you don't have to worry about your story causing chaos in the entire Chinese worldview."

"So do I need to explain anything more? We have indeed won half the battle. From now on, as long as you work hard, we will have at least a 70% chance of winning." Teacher Luo said confidently in front of the TV camera.

When the audience saw this, they couldn't help but nod their heads secretly, admitting that what Mr. Luo said was indeed very reasonable. This is indeed a huge advantage for the entire team, or it can be said that it is basically a free point question.

However, no audience felt that it was cheating, because Mr. Luo's team was too bad, and the outstanding players in the first four rounds did not choose Mr. Luo. Although most of them joined in the last two rounds, they were basically leftovers from the last two rounds, and the truly outstanding players had already joined the other three teams.

Therefore, Mr. Luo's team is full of extremely poor players, which is a huge disadvantage. If he can't gain some advantages in the team competition, Mr. Luo will probably be at the bottom of the list every time. It's not terrible that Mr. Luo is at the bottom of the list every time, but the terrible thing is the Little Heavenly Master Huaxia behind him... If Huaxia knew that their teacher and his fan works were at the bottom of the list in the variety show, although Little Heavenly Master Huaxia himself would probably not appear, there's no telling what the people below would do to please Little Heavenly Master Huaxia.

In fact, even Liu Xu himself thought so. Just when he thought that Mr. Luo should win, a scene that surprised Liu Xu and the audience occurred.

That is, when Teacher Luo began to assign tasks, asking each of his eight contestants to choose a period to write a corresponding novel, and at the same time try to outline a whole main line for each novel, suddenly two contestants took the initiative to find Teacher Luo and the program team, and cried and expressed their demands.

That is, these two contestants actually cried and asked the program team and Teacher Luo to allow them to withdraw from the competition. They didn't want to participate in the competition anymore.

What’s even more terrible is that these two contestants are the strongest among all eight contestants. If these two contestants are removed, the remaining ones will really be a bunch of lousy ones.

The moment they made this request, the production crew rolled on the ground in panic, while Teacher Luo sat in the chair in a daze, not speaking for a long time.

Soon, the production team reacted and asked them not to withdraw from the competition. But it was still Mr. Luo who took the initiative to speak up, saying that the Little Heavenly Master of China once had a proverb that sounded a bit inexplicable, but appeared repeatedly in novels, which was "If it rains, let it rain; if it wants to marry, let it be."

So the two contestants chose to withdraw, and Mr. Luo's team could only face the competition with a lineup of 6 contestants. Although the program team gave a bias in the scoring, allowing the six-person team to have the same total score as the eight-person team, it also had the advantage of the Chinese worldview.

But in the end, the audience's eyes were sharp. At the end of the 8th episode, after all the participating teams had presented their works, Mr. Luo's team had the lowest total amount of Yuewen Power... Even though it increased Yuewen Power by 0.25%, it still ranked last in total score.

After the competition, although Mr. Luo looked visibly haggard and miserable, he still took the initiative to comfort all the contestants and took the blame for the failure of the competition on himself.

As a result, during the comforting process, probably to persuade Mr. Luo, a contestant said, "In fact, this is not your fault at all, teacher. It's all the fault of the program team for forcing our group to write Chinese world fan fiction. If it weren't for this requirement, which truly excellent author would be willing to write fan fiction, and you, teacher, wouldn't only recruit incompetent people like us... This is all the problem of the program team, not your problem, teacher, don't be sad."

As soon as these words were spoken, all the audience and the program crew did not react much, except Liu Xu, whose face completely turned into a huge black hole.
