Chapter 357 Short Story "The Gift of the Magi" [Please give me a monthly ticket and order all]

There was a saying in the talk show world in the previous life - Who doesn't save five minutes of good jokes a year?

This sentence is also applicable in the literary world. Who can't hold back a short composition in a year?

What's more, the threshold for this competition is very low, and you don't need to rush to a specific place to participate. You only need to pay the registration deadline to successfully register. Then, after the event officially starts, you can directly submit the document in the background of the event web page. After system review, it will be automatically released.

On the event website!

There is also a set of criteria for judging the merits. In order to expand the influence of the event, this competition has adopted an online voting method five years ago, and the winning works will be selected based on the number of votes received.

After the event, these award-winning works will be collected and released into a collection of short stories, which is also the main source of income for this event.

Modern Poetry Association, although the short story activity is apparently sponsored by the Writers Association, but who doesn't know that this is Yao Chongguang's bed?

He didn't hide it either. This drama of four dragons fighting for the heir has been going on until now, but who in this circle still doesn't know what they are thinking?

It’s nothing more than—everyone knows Sima Zhao’s heart!

As this period of time comes, the less he can hide it, on the contrary, he has to expose his muscles and let everyone see his strength!

So Yao Chongguang simply moved the activity team directly to his hometown, the headquarters of the Modern Poetry Association.

This move is to tell them clearly that this game is my stage, and if I want to sing on stage... it's not impossible!

But you either join in or shut up!

In the president's office.

Yao Chongguang's phone kept ringing.

"Hey, don't worry, I'll take care of your child!"

"No trouble, no trouble, it's just a small competition!"

"Hey, thank you, don't worry, I understand, I understand!"

After a long while, Yao Chongguang hung up the phone and slumped down on his chair, looking tired.

Taking out a cigarette from his pocket, he said speechlessly: "These losers, just because of their seniority and white teeth, they want to get some benefits? They don't give any indication?"

"What a beautiful thought!"

"Click!" Zheng Guoqiang, who was sitting across from the computer desk, saw and quickly stood up to light Yao Chongguang's cigarette.

"call……"

"Brother, what do you think we will do with these people?" Zheng Guoqiang pushed the information to Yao Chongguang's side.

Most of these people came to say hello and seek care.

"What else can we do? In the current situation, with multiple friends and multiple paths, can we really offend them?"

"Senior brother is right!" Zheng Guoqiang said with a smile: "In that case, I have an idea!"

"Say it!" Yao Chongguang exhaled smoke and nodded.

"The short story activity follows the old rules of the past, eight questions, eight competition areas, and one competition area takes three days to select the first, second, and third place, and then proceed to the next competition area!"

"This event will be held for a total of twenty-four days, which is less than half a month. We can completely prevent this group of people from participating in the first few competition areas and see which one Li Xiang will choose. After avoiding him, this operation will

It’s convenient, isn’t it?”

"Well..." Yao Chongguang raised his eyes and looked at Zheng Guoqiang, and praised with a smile: "I didn't expect that your brain is quite easy to use sometimes. Okay, I will do as you say!"

"Okay, take a look!"

Zheng Guoqiang happily picked up the information and walked out quickly.

The next day.

Ludao City, within the community.

Li Xiang is leading the crew to shoot scenes in the community, focusing on Jiao Xiangrong's scenes.

The actor who plays Jiao Xiangrong is named Zhou Peng, who was born in 1974. He has appeared in many film and television dramas such as "Da Qin Opera", "Orchid Flower", "May Flowers Bloom", "Blue Blindness", "City Gate" and so on.

Although his fame is not as big as that of a popular actor, his acting skills are definitely ahead of them!

Jiao Xiangrong, a poor migrant worker with a lot of debts, came to Jialin City to work alone.

However, due to an accident at the construction site, we were faced with the problem of having no source of income.

Subsequently, the garage he rented was not allowed to be occupied due to community reform, and he became even more embarrassed after that.

In every cycle, he behaved like he had nothing to do with himself, with a cold expression on his face and a large, worn-out suitcase by his side.

And this big suitcase is also the basis for him to be suspected by the male and female protagonists.

What we filmed today was his scene.

"You are miserable and poor, but you have never given up hope in life. When you were on the scene, putting out fires was not your intention, but after putting out the fire, you acted bravely and got bonuses. This is why you are willing to go against the crowd and rush towards the fire.

The reason for the scene!”

In the shade of a tree, Li Xiang was talking about a play with Zhou Peng, holding a script.

Although Zhou Peng was much older than Li Xiang, Zhou Peng did not dare to look down on Li Xiang at all, and kept his explanations in mind.

"I understand, little people who never give up hope in life!" Zhou Peng nodded.

"That's right!"

After the explanation, continue shooting.

Next to the garage, a middle-aged man with a sweaty face and a key chain hanging on his waist, whose edges have been smoothed by life, took the phone and said:

"Jiaojiao, listen to what dad told you. You have to study hard and don't think too much. Dad is very good here. I will work hard to earn more money for us. If you say anything in the future, you should tell dad

, be it sanitary napkins or facial cleanser, we can all afford it!"

Li Xiang stared closely at his performance and nodded silently.

Next to him, Yi Xingxing whispered: "Do you want to include the sentence "sanitary napkins" too?"

"Why not add it?"

"I think it wouldn't be good to talk about sanitary napkins so bluntly?" Yi Xingxing asked, touching his bald head.

"Sanitary napkins are a girl's daily needs, and facial cleanser is a girl's love for beauty, but his daughter has neither..." Li Xiang lamented: "I only know that the role he plays is from the bottom of society!

"

"Then you have to look like someone from the bottom of society, be down-to-earth, and be real!" Li Xiang seemed to have thought of something and said with a smile, "Jiang Yuan participated in a show these days and asked the director to ask for advice, you know?"

"I know that!" Yi Xingxing said with a smile: "This show... is obviously not a comedy, but it is funnier than most comedies!"

"Yes!" Li Xiang nodded and said: "A young man who delivers food in Shanghai rides a small electric donkey and lives in a big apartment with bookshelves full of books and a guitar..."

"Only 30 orders are delivered a day. Do you see any trace of a delivery boy in that scene?"

"Speaking of which, it's hard for Jiang Yuan!" Yi Xingxing patted his thigh and said with a smile: "He still has to praise her, and it's hard for him to think of those angles!"

"Yes..." Li Xiang explained: "I am not saying this to ridicule him. After all, you and I both know the reasons for Jiang Yuan's remarks. What I want to say is that they are untrue, and I want to be true!"

"Since we are photographing people at the bottom of the society, we have to photograph them realistically. I want to tell them that many people cannot afford housing, and many people have never even used sanitary napkins!"

"Many people are still struggling to survive!"

"They are life, and these people are survival!"

His words were sonorous and powerful, and his statement also made Yi Xingxing understand what Li Xiang wanted to do.

He immediately expressed his approval for the lines in this scene.

The shooting ended in the morning.

While eating, Li Xiang received a reply letter from the short story competition.

He looked at it while eating, and after a rough glance, he got the general idea!

Short story activities, eight tracks, eight time periods of competition, one track for three days!

To select the champion of this track, there is no finals or revival competition!

There are many awards to give more people opportunities!

[The first track: etiquette is light but affection is heavy]

The competition area opens at one o'clock this afternoon and will end in three days. It depends entirely on everyone's vote. Of course, God knows if there is any inside story about this vote!

The attention of people on the Internet to this competition is also unprecedentedly high. Because Li Xiang participated, many people are looking forward to what works he will write this time.

When netizens saw the first competition question, they left messages:

[Etiquette is more important than affection? This title seems to be quite easy to write!]

[It is easy to write, but it is difficult to write well!]

[On the contrary, I feel that this title is a bit restrictive. Gifts and friendships, aren’t the entry points just those? What new ideas can be written? 】

[Whatever, I only read Sword God’s works anyway, and I only vote for him!]

【Hahaha, add one!】
