Reborn great writer

"It's leaked, it's leaked, Su Da, it's not good, the answer has been announced." Chen Ning looked flustered, his thick eyebrows were tangled, and hurried into Su Shichen's room.

Su Shichen was also stunned when he heard the sound, and didn't react for a while: "What answer was announced? The final answer of the Hugo Award." In fact, Su Shichen has won a lot of awards. He has won many other awards, big and small, but Su Shichen is still very eager for a world-class award like the Hugo Award, so he subconsciously thinks about it.

But as soon as the words were out of my mouth, I thought about it and thought it was wrong. If the final winner of the Hugo Award was really leaked, it would definitely be the result of the event. However, according to the selection method of the Hugo Award, there is no possibility of such an early leak. So Su Shichen stared at Chen Ning with puzzled eyes.

"It's the problem that you, University of Su, wrote down in front of everyone at the book signing. Someone cracked it and posted the answer on the Internet, and the person who announced it also wrote a comment saying "Winston The murderer in Street Murder is far-fetched." Although Chen Ning was very anxious, he still spoke in a very orderly manner, "and this statement has been approved by many people."

The murderer is far-fetched?Su Shichen was stunned. The question he asked "The Murder in Winston Street" was born out of the cross-era short detective story "The Murder in the Rue Morgue". The murderer at the end was even more logical. Reasonably, how can it be said that it is far-fetched?

"what is the problem?"

Chen Ning was very straightforward. He opened the tablet he was carrying and clicked on the [Question Unit] of the "Frozen Throne" official. It was a post by an id named Magical Laura. What Chen Ning showed Su Shichen was Comments from friends below.

"How should I put it, I feel that the last murderer is indeed a bit unreasonable."

"It feels very high-end, so what kind of crazy experiment, but if you don't know the experiment, you can't guess the result at all, which is a bit unreasonable."

"It's no wonder that there is a maximum reward of 30 US dollars. It turned out that it was unfair from the beginning."

"Can't guess, it's not reasonable."

"I watched "The Collection of Sherlock Holmes", and the cases in it are very exciting. I feel that this is not the final answer."

"I think so too, but considering that this is only Su's temporary thought, it is already very good to be able to write to this level."

……

"Unfair, high-end experiments, what is this all about?" Su Shichen quickly caught two key words from the comments one by one.

In fact, to be precise, the murderer of the counterfeit "Winston Street Murder" is indeed displayed a little unfairly, but the reward of up to 30 US dollars must be somewhat difficult, otherwise it will be so profitable?

And this mode is also the best. If it is like the Snowstorm Villa mode established by Quinn's "Mystery of the Twins", the classic is a classic, and it is even regarded as the most classic mystery novel mode by many readers.

Su Shichen doesn't comment on this point, but Su Shichen knows one thing, this model is completely unsuitable for this kind of guessing.

In fact, the reasoning mode of Blizzard Mountain Villa is simply that everyone is in a closed environment, and the murderer is among the people. and other works.Ayatsuji defined this pattern in the "Kirikoshi-tei Murder Case" in the "Tan Series".

This kind of murderer is one of the fixed people and this model is not good.Think about it, with so many people, even if there are several people together, you can guess right by guessing one by one or just guessing blindly.Just like the famous infinite monkey theorem, this kind of blind guessing is too untechnical.

And "The Murders in the Rue Morgue" is the most perfect way to guess the murderer on a large scale. As long as you don't think of that aspect, let alone tens of thousands of people, even 10 people can't deduce who the murderer is.

It is undeniable that he did play a little clever here, but what happened to the lunatic experiment?

Taking the tablet from Chen Ning, flipping it up, the first thing I saw was the last sentence of this amazing Laura: "Murder on Winston Street as a whole is very far-fetched as a short mystery story, but the characters are set well. , but it is very good as a riddle, because it can make most people unable to deduce it."

This is the evaluation of Wonderful Lara Croft.

Pulling up, after reading the reasoning of this amazing Laura, Su Shichen laughed loudly, and murmured: "This kind of person is too confident, and I don't know that this amazing Laura will see the correct answer tomorrow. What kind of expression will appear." Thinking about it, that kind of expression must be very exciting, thinking of this, Su Shichen couldn't help but smile again.

"Speaking of which, do I still have to thank this amazing Laura? The answer announced by the official has affected the judgment of many people." Throwing the tablet to Chen Ning, he continued his work.

"Why don't Su University use the company or your account to release a clarification message?" Although Chen Ning still maintained his calm face at this time, he was very anxious in his heart. He didn't understand why Su Shichen was still there at this time. I can laugh out loud.

"You don't have to worry about this matter. What you need to do is to arrange for me to announce the results tomorrow. In addition, I will start reviewing manuscripts. You can close the door when you go out." Su Shichen is already I am ordering to evict guests.

Chen Ning didn't understand what Su Shichen was thinking at all, he still didn't care about this situation, and continued to give answers, sighing slightly, a very good publicity plan was ruined like this.But is there any way to do this? He is just an assistant. This is completely because the emperor is not in a hurry and the eunuchs are in a hurry, so he no longer thinks about it and exits the room.

Su Shichen, who was in the room, was working hard to review the manuscript, and now he could finally understand Wang Ni's hard work.

"It's really not that I worship foreigners. The level of literature in the United States is really higher than that in China. It can be seen from the level of these articles that there are many highlights."

Su Shichen is one of the judges for the Morest Short Story Contest, so manuscript review is also a must.

Chen Ning made a mistake, and of course it wasn't a time error. The short story competition was indeed held today, but the problem was that he didn't have to go to the scene at all when the selection began, but directly reviewed the manuscripts at home. The primaries started.

The requirements for the primary election are very low, basically only two points.First, basically as long as the writing of short stories is fluent; second, the meaning expressed is legal and can be passed.In fact, the latter point is more important. It is definitely not allowed to promote sex in short stories.

According to the manuscripts that Su Shichen started with, at least seven out of ten are qualified.In other words, he felt a little unreliable. The Moreste Short Story Award was completely an award for literary fiction, and Moreste was also equivalent to the same character as Maupassant in the previous life.As for him, although he has the appearance of some great international writers, it has nothing to do with literature, which is quite strange.

Articles that pass this primary selection can be submitted directly, without writing comments. As for the articles that are not selected, they need to write comments. This is the more troublesome place.Comments can be written very well, although there is no such example before, in case there is some wonderful short story that is eliminated from him, and it is poked into the media, it will really destroy the reputation of the whole life, so basically every Almost all unqualified articles have to be read more than twice to see if he didn't understand something.

This was the first time Su Shichen was so serious.

"Speaking of which, the influence of this event is really not small. The contestants are not only from the United States, but also from island countries, Germany, the United Kingdom and other countries. That's right, Moreste is a world-class master of short stories, and the event is held under his name It would be too unreasonable if an event of ours is only influential in the United States.” This also understands the role of this primary election, because the contestants belong to various countries, and the cultural differences are quite large.

Su Shichen read one by one, and read them very seriously, just like "Chameleon", "Ball of Suet" and other short literary stories, you have to read carefully to understand the meaning the author wants to express, otherwise it seems like If you read online novels as a measure of coolness, then you may not be qualified at all.

Open the website specially established for this event. As a judge, Su Shichen has management functions. Apart from a fixed place, the method of submitting contributions for this event is also possible online.This is also inevitable. Otherwise, if all contestants outside the United States submit their entries by mail, it will take too long.

Contributors of course need to fill in some detailed information, and at the same time, both the website and the contributor must guarantee.Contributors must ensure that the manuscripts they submit are written by themselves and cannot be plagiarized, and at the same time, they must stand up to ensure that they cannot disclose the content of the novel without the author's permission.No matter which party violates the agreement, the other party has the right to sue.

"The writing of this article is obviously a bit awkward. It wants to express a kind of help between people under the economic depression. It is a bit too deliberate and superficial. In addition, the words and sentences are not smooth. I don't know if it is a Japanese translation. It’s because of the Chinese language.” After checking in a hurry, they sent back comments to the unqualified contestants, pointing out the shortcomings of the novel.

He wrote very seriously, but a thought suddenly popped up in his head: "Will some authors be unconvinced by the comments written by me, a newcomer in the field of literature?"

As soon as this thought appeared, it grew like a weed in his heart. It was just a sudden thought, but now it turned into worry.

Rubbing his chin, "I have to find a way to make these contestants agree with my comments willingly." Then Su Shichen, who was thinking hard, thought of a way, "By the way, I can reply to a novel and compare the two, so more convincing."

Su Shichen felt that it was necessary to do so. There were three people, one American, one Japanese, and one French.In fact, these three people insisted that they could pass, and it might be the rhythm of the selection in the hands of the rest of the judges, but Su Shichen didn't know why he didn't like others, so he eliminated these three. .

Then Su Shichen was troubled again. Simply put, Su Shichen was causing trouble for himself. If you take the standard of ordinary people, this girl seems to be a pain in the ass, making yourself uncomfortable.

But even Su Shichen didn't notice it, because these three short stories have bright spots, and the author has a lot of room for improvement, so he just wrote hundreds of words of comments and sent them along with the model essay in his spare time.

On the computer screen, it was displayed that Su Shichen replied to the three contestants with the following three articles——

"My Uncle Yule", "A Bowl of Buckwheat Noodles in Clear Soup", "Chameleon"... ps: It means that the company held an event in Zhangjiajie.But the kitten has self-knowledge and knows that if it goes there, the update may become a problem, so it didn't go... ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh ! (To be continued.)
