N-A-A Chapter 303
Chapter 303
In the field of short stories, they are naturally the top three.
Yang Yagang is one of them, so he has a very high status.
He is also the "God of Songs" in the field of short stories!
Lin Yi naturally wanted to invite him to participate in the competition.
Zhang Yucheng was stunned for a moment after learning that he was rejected, but soon came to his senses and laughed: "Isn't it normal to be rejected? There are so many events held around the world every year, he can't participate in all of them, right? Besides, he is one of the "three horses", it doesn't matter if he can't be invited."
However, her subordinates were very anxious and helpless.
"That's right, but the key is... the reason why Mr. Yang Yagang rejected me is not that he doesn't want to come, but he told me personally that he has been invited by "Reader" to participate in the event held by the other party!"
As soon as these words came out, the entire office of "Lin Yi" fell silent, and everyone's face changed!
It doesn't matter if Yang Yagang doesn't participate in their activities.
But Yang Yagang participated in the activities of the rival publishing house during their activities!
This is very relevant!
In order to promote their event, Zhang Yucheng shouted the slogan of "all-star lineup". More than 40 writers are basically all well-known masters.
But now, one of the most famous "three horses" in the Chinese region has run to the opponent, and their "all-stars" have been eclipsed in an instant.
The original gorgeous list has become less attractive.
Zhang Yucheng is still smiling, but the smile on her face has become very forced.
As one of the three horses, Yang Yagang is also the youngest one, only 36 years old this year.
Some people say he is the youngest, and some people say he is the weakest among the three.
But no matter what, he is also one of the three insurmountable mountains in the field of short stories.
If you want to suppress him steadily, you have to ask the other two mountains.
However——
The subordinate smiled bitterly and said, "The other two carriages are Teacher Changkong and Teacher Yundan. Teacher Changkong hasn't written for a long time, so we can't invite her. I just tried to contact Teacher Yundan, but she's been out for health care recently and has no intention of participating in the event."
Zhang Yucheng didn't give up. She asked, "Have you tried to contact top short story writers in other regions?"
Huaxia has the strongest "three carriages", and other regions certainly have top writers like "three tanks".
The subordinate looked embarrassed: "This... yes, but there are differences in regions. They don't like to participate in cross-regional activities, and "Reader" will definitely compete with us for people, which is very difficult..."
"We have to do it no matter how difficult it is!" Zhang Yucheng said firmly, "We have put a lot of effort into this event, and we must not let "Reader" intercept it!"
The subordinate nodded and turned around and devoted himself to work.
But the result was not very good. They tried to contact many people, but they were all rejected in the end.
The other party said that they had no inspiration and no works recently.
Cultural creation is like this. It doesn't mean that if you invite me, I can produce good works. This does require inspiration and state.
If you insist on writing, the final work will not reach your level, which is a very damaging behavior.
The more famous the writer is, the more they value their own signboards. Generally, they will not easily make a move unless they are fully confident or have written a particularly satisfactory work.
Now it is February, and the event will start in May. There are less than three months. It is still quite difficult to create a short story that competes with a group of great gods. No one can guarantee that they can definitely write it.
Besides, except for Bai Qianqu, the current forty or so people got the news in advance and started preparing before the New Year.
Zhang Yucheng also guessed this result. She was silent for a moment before speaking.
"Keep looking. I don't believe that there are so many writers in the world and no one can make a move!"
At this moment, a subordinate raised his hand and said, "I have an appointment with a top writer, but the price he offered is a bit high, and he can't guarantee that he can produce the work. Three months is too short."
"What price does he want?"
"Eight million."
Zhang Yucheng was silent.
Eight million is not a small amount, but the other party is a top writer, and this is an urgent order. Although the price is high, it is not too high.
She hesitated again and again, and finally nodded: "Forget it, let's make an appointment first. If the other party really writes an excellent work, this price is not unacceptable."
Zhang Yucheng's eyes were full of viciousness: "As long as we can suppress "Yuezhe", even if it costs 10 million, it's worth it!"
.......
Compared to the unpreparedness of "Lin Yi", "Yuezhe" was not at ease either.
They paid a lot of price to invite Yang Yagang, and spent 10 million in money alone.
After so much effort, they certainly would not give up such a good publicity opportunity.
So the day after "Lin Yi" released the announcement, "Yuezhe" also followed suit and released its own announcement, and emphasized the news that Yang Yagang joined them.
Short stories in the original world may not have as much influence as long novel authors.
But in this world, the influence of short stories is not worse than that of long novels!
Although there are fewer readers, the quality is high!
Everyone is a cultural person, and naturally knows how to publicize and control the public opinion front.
So, after the two top short story magazines announced their own activities one after another, the comments on the Internet exploded.
Readers are very excited!
They haven't seen such fierce competition in short stories for a long time!
The confrontation between the two top magazines will surely produce many excellent works!
This is what readers are most looking forward to!
"Teacher Yang Yagang has made a move? He hasn't published a new work for more than a year, right?!"
"That's right! Remember the suspense short story "Wooden Door" he wrote last time? The beginning, middle and end had three unexpected reversals! It was so exciting! Who would have thought that the murderer was actually a door?"
"Yes, yes, it's too brain-burning!"
"It seems that Teacher Yang Yagang has another inspiration this time!"
"According to gossip! The reason why Teacher Yang Yagang made a move this time was because he had read "The Story of Maggie", which gave him new inspiration!"
"What? Could it be that Teacher Yang Yagang's work this time will also adopt the 'Thousand Swords Ending'?"
"What's particularly interesting is that Qianjian seems to have participated in the activities organized by "Lin Yi"."
"This wave, this wave is called the Yangtze River's front waves pushing the back waves, and the back waves die on the Yangtze River."
