Reborn great writer

"Compete with me..." This is the condition Tang Lingyu proposed, so what kind of condition is this?Su Shichen didn't understand something.

"Competition? What kind of competition? If it's a competition to have a baby, I must lose." Su Shichen said.

"That's not necessarily the case. Maybe you can be like Gun? In this way, even if you have a baby, it's not certain that whoever wins will win."

Roll the same?Then Su Shichen realized that Tang Lingyu should be talking about Gun, Dayu's father, a well-known scholar in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, who once quoted such a passage in "Shan Hai Jing": three years old does not rot, Cut it open with a Wu sword and turn it into a Huanglong.The Yellow Dragon here refers to Dayu. Simply put, Gun gave Dayu a caesarean section and died three years later.Never underestimate the imagination of the ancients!ah……

"It's rare that you, Xiaoyu, are interested in teasing me." Su Shichen scratched his brows with his little fingernails, "Tell me, what is the comparison?"

"I've compared you twice before." Seeing Su Shichen's bewildered look, Tang Lingyu couldn't help but smile, looking across the road with a look of reminiscence, "The first time was when the campus published an internal magazine. At that time, you used a A miniature sci-fi novel called "Hey-Come Out" won the main page, and that's kind of your first debut article."

Su Shichen rubbed his nose, and put a wry smile on the corner of his mouth, Tang Lingyu's surname is really good enough, he can still remember things from such a long time ago.

He said: "Xiao Xiaoyu, don't tell me that the so-called second duel is during the high school entrance examination."

Tang Lingyu nodded slightly, Su Shichen covered her forehead speechlessly, it was really...

He still remembers that during the senior high school entrance examination, he beat Tang Lingyu's "I am a gnat" with an essay "The Death of the Red Rabbit".

"I said in junior high school that I must win back, so the condition for me to join the Los Angeles branch is that you compete with me." Tang Lingyu's words were resounding.

In the past, it was the same girl who spoke such words to him with her immature and cold voice, and raised her proud little head, but now it seemed that the two overlapped. This scene made Su Shichen couldn't help laughing, "What a little vengeful little girl!" Fish, so what do we compare?"

"Of course it is an article. It is meaningless in other aspects." It is indeed meaningless, and Tang Lingyu is not sure about Su Shichen's omniscience in other aspects. She has been specializing in short stories since she was a child, whether they are published in newspapers or A collection of short stories.

Well, Tang Lingyu got up from where she fell, but Li Yang, who seems to be one of the three heroes of the Li family, once said a word, get up from where she fell, this sentence is the motto of the strong, The inscription on the tombstone of the weak can actually stand up in another place.

For Tang Lingyu who was so persistent, Su Shichen really felt powerless, "Then you have to tell me how to compare."

In fact, what is compared is not the key, the key is how to compare.Generally speaking, it is enough for two people to participate in one activity at the same time, like the college entrance examination, but the problem is that Su Shichen, who wrote the three articles "A Bowl of Soba Soup", "My Uncle Yule", and "Chameleon", He has already been praised as a master of short stories, and is also a judge of top awards such as the Morest Short Story Award. If he participates in any other activities, wouldn't it be a slap in the face?

But if he doesn't participate in the show, then no one will judge the winner or loser. Su Shichen doesn't think he has the ability to let an authority in this field accompany him and Tang Lingyu to mess around.

"No referee, you and I will be the referee." Tang Lingyu said simply.

Su Shichen was taken aback, then smiled, "Indeed, I think it's complicated, this is really a good way."

I vaguely remember that in "Zhonghua Yifan", when the young master was admitted to the qualification of a super chef, it seemed that the last pass was to use this evaluation method to let the opponent evaluate.

"What is the proposition? Or is it based on what theme?"

"The proposition is a bit complicated, and I can't explain it clearly in words for a while. I will email it to you when I get back." Tang Lingyu said, "If I win, your company's plan will fail, so Xiaosi As a writer, you must use your best efforts."

"Go all out, absolutely." While talking with Tang Lingyu, Chen Ning had already driven the car, and Su Shichen sent out an invitation, "How about it, are you interested in going to have fun?"

"I still have something to do. In addition, the time for this competition is set within two weeks." It is indeed enough to write a short story in two weeks.

"Okay!" The matter was settled in this way, Tang Lingyu also left in a hurry, just when Su Shichen was about to get in the car, a person jumped in front of Su Shichen, pay attention to the wording, it is jumping.

The person came, with a camera on his shoulder, and a pen stuck in his jacket pocket. Su Shichen looked at it from top to bottom. It was obvious that this was a reporter. Maybe it was the end of the press conference. Then a reporter wanted to interview alone. Su Shichen had experienced this kind of thing a lot, but when he opened his mouth, he found that his judgment was wrong.

"Hello, Writer Su, I'm Brown, the editor of the Los Angeles Times. Our newspaper is going to host a sci-fi star competition. Are you interested in being a judge?"

"No!" He refused without hesitation.

"Are you interested in writing a science fiction novel to participate in this event?" Brown persisted.

"No more!"

Brown's expression was as changeable as Jim Carrey's, and then he tried to persuade Su Shichen, "Writer Su, you can actually think about it. This is a win-win model, and it's also for you..."

Su Shichen took a step forward, and Brown clung to him and even stepped forward, as if he was a candy. "I'm sorry, Mr. Editor, I really don't have time, and I'm also very busy right now." Su Shichen felt a little disgusted by being pestered like this. After getting into the car, Chen Ning drove to the hotel.

-

After the press conference, Su Shichen's sophisms aroused criticism from many people, but on the other hand, the comments among the superhero officials have higher and higher expectations for "Superheroes I Assemble", and the reputation is definitely hyped up. .

This is a good thing, if you are scolded, just scold him. Anyway, according to Su Shichen's bad taste, the more people scold him, the higher his sense of achievement in spoofing, and a little infamy can be exchanged for such exposure. Not good enough?

But other things are not a good thing. Currently, the mainstream comics in the American comic market are humorous and funny, just like "Popeye" and "Tom and Jerry". However, during the press conference, Su Shichen actually predicted that superheroes How could they be bothered that manga would go mainstream?

Sure enough, many cartoonists jumped out the next day——

Cartoonist Bieber, whose "Caesars" is the most famous, and this cartoon is a spoof, "Writer Su is a writer, not a cartoonist. The five-year-old child in my family knows the meaning of the two words writer and cartoonist." Gap, and as for superhero comics, what is that?"

Kelin, a cartoonist famous for "Tiger King", responded: "Sales will determine everything. If writer Su wants to hype, then he has already succeeded."

"Superhero comics will become the mainstream of the comics market. I think this is a subject of funny comics. I think he should really investigate before saying this. Last year, the sales of comedy comics in the entire US comic market accounted for 70.00% of the total sales. [-]% [-], in this case, the mainstream will change?” The cartoonist Lip is another heavyweight, and his comics have been among the top ten in the comics sales list all year round.

The data mentioned by Lip is absolutely correct. In the entire American comics market, comedy comics accounted for nearly 80.00% of the sales in one year, which means that only 20.00% was left. Half of them are related to comedy comics, and the importance of comedy comics can be imagined.

One after another, well-known American cartoonists jumped out to refute Su Shichen's remarks at the press conference. At this time, their attitudes were surprisingly unified.

But this is not the truth of the whole matter. At nine o'clock in the morning on the third day after Su Shichen's last press conference, Lip also held a press conference, and the purpose was—"My new comic" Battleship" will also be released on the 22nd. The comic style is still the same humorous style as the previous works. Of course, this time I also added a sci-fi color to it so that comic fans can feel the sci-fi while being relaxed and happy. magic."

It was also the 22nd, and the reporters in the audience were excited. Yesterday, Lip had already refuted Su Shichen's remarks in the comic magazine, and now it is announced that "Battleship" will be released on the 22nd. Is there any need to explain the meaning of this?

"Excuse me, Mr. Lip, are you doing this to compete with "Super Heroes I Assemble"?"

"Naturally, with the sales volume and word-of-mouth of the comics, I will let Writer Su know what the mainstream of the comics market is."

This is a declaration of war!

But, it's not over yet...

Afterwards, many cartoonists also held a press conference to announce the fact that their new comics would be released on the 22nd. Counting Lip in one day, there were eleven in total.

Is this a coincidence?

Of course not, Elipe has not accepted, these eleven cartoonists announced to the media that they have formed a mainstream alliance, and the purpose of the establishment is to tell some people what the mainstream of the American comic market is.

This certain person is Su Shichen.

Now the United States is bustling, the media keeps reporting, and comic fans are happy. The eleven cartoonists in the mainstream alliance are all very famous, and there are eleven new works at a time. This is something to watch. Yes, of course I am happy.

With the momentum of the mainstream alliance, everyone thought that Su Shichen and Shanshi Company should keep silent, but they underestimated Su Shichen's courage too much.

"It is impossible to prevent this change by manpower. It is like electric lamps replacing kerosene lamps and cars replacing horse-drawn carriages. This change is inevitable. Don't let eleven cartoonists form the so-called mainstream alliance, even if there are a hundred cartoonists, it will be useless. .” This was Su Shichen’s response in the name of the company.

Not only replied, but also so insolent.

It's useless to have a hundred people. How dare you dare to say this in such a tone! !

The media forwarded these words to Lip, and Lip was so angry that he responded that it was useless to talk too much, and reality would prove everything.

The two sides have spoken, and the war is about to break out.

On the 22nd, eleven humorous comics block "Superheroes i Assemble"... (To be continued.)
