Some of the text in this chapter are excerpted from Mr. Li Feng's novel "The Decisive Battle of Korea". Any similarities are not coincidental.

"According to my observation and speculation, the director should have said something like 'It's okay, continue' to Oscar in the earphones at that time." Feng Bujue said to Xiaotan and Bao Daren.
"So... the title of this episode is called, I'm a writer, please feel free to complain?" Master Bao asked, picking up a chopstick of food and putting it into his mouth.
"Yes." Feng Bujue replied.
"I am more and more looking forward to what will happen next..." Xiao Tan continued.
In the picture, Oscar used some clichés to make a few indifferent comments on Feng Bujueqi's title, and then said: "Okay, let's enter the first round of this show... Let's start writing.
Completed."
The complete rules of the first round immediately appeared on the TV, and Oscar's high-speed reading voice was playing next to it. This passage should have been recorded before the nth episode. It was taken out and reused every time and presented to the TV.
The audience takes a look.
"This round, a keyword will randomly appear on the big screen. Let's first see what this keyword is..." Oscar said here, the camera also moved over, and the words "Events, Characters" scrolled on the big screen.
", animals, scenery" and so on, about dozens of words. After a few seconds, with a jingle sound effect, the word "character" finally stayed on the screen.
"Then, each of our contestants will also get two keywords respectively. However, until their creation is completed, these two keywords will be kept secret for the time being. Only they know about it." When Oscar said this, Feng Bujue was not aware of the operation in front of him.
The two words he randomly came to appeared on the screen.
"Seven writers, you have seven minutes, combine the two keywords on your operating screen, and write a paragraph describing the 'character'. There is no limit to the number of words, until the time runs out." Oscar finished.
After a few words, he immediately said: "Then, the first round... begins!" Because the keywords had been announced, he quickly shouted start.
"Dear viewers, I want to emphasize again that all creative aspects of this program will never include repeated recordings. Our contestants only have seven minutes and only one chance." Oscar naturally cannot let the audience idle during these seven minutes.
.He must at least match the sound effects of the scene and speak for two or three minutes to create a tense atmosphere. The remaining few minutes will be cut and will not be broadcast on TV because the TV audience cannot wait that long, so an advertisement is inserted.
Good choice.
"I know that in many people's minds, writing is a profession with a very low threshold. It seems that as long as there is a computer with Internet access, anyone can be a writer." Oscar continued: "I also know that now there are
Many coding tools, writing assistants, etc., have huge word libraries. There are various poems and excerpts, and some software can even directly generate a large plot with a certain logic.
However, the writers behind me at this moment have no assistants, and they cannot access any information online. Every word and sentence they write has to be found and constructed in their own minds. And they
It only lasts seven minutes. This is undoubtedly the most intuitive manifestation of knowledge reserve, creative ability, and writing skills. Let us see what is different about real writers."
Oscar said, leading a close-up cameraman to the contestants' table to take pictures of the writers' expressions when they were creating, "I would also like to explain here that there are only two input methods used in this program, one is touch
Handwriting, the other is the most primitive Quanpin input method. If our contestants write "white characters", the input method will not correct their errors. Therefore, on the stage where I am a writer, a
It’s clear at a glance what the writer’s Chinese proficiency is.”
At this time, after the editing of a shot was switched, Oscar said: "There are still the last twenty seconds..." This should be the image after the commercial break. This preliminary edited version is really good.
What follows is a series of continuous close-ups. As the host counts down, the camera keeps cutting to the seven contestants and the audience. The BGM is also very compact and intense.
"Three, two, one... time's up!" Oscar took out a handkerchief from his suit pocket and wiped the unnecessary sweat on his forehead, "Okay, now, let's reveal the works of the seven writers one by one.
"
Oscar came to the Xuantian Sect's operating table, "Xuantian always gives us a very calm feeling, and it's the same today." He turned to the players and said: "This is the key word drawn this time.
Is it easy?"
Xuantianzong leaned closer to the microphone that came with the console: "Actually...it doesn't matter what the keyword is. I always feel that the difficulty in the first round is time."
Oscar asked: "Can I understand that no keyword can trouble you?"
"No, no..." Xuantianzong waved his hands and laughed. This question was very difficult for him to answer. If he answered "yes", it would be too arrogant.
"Then let's take a look at the key words of Xuantian Sect first." Oscar did not ask further questions, but continued to advance the program.
The two keywords drawn by Xuantian Sect were displayed on the big screen, which were "solitude" and "dominance".
Oscar commented: "For Xuantian, this kind of question should be a small case."
"It's okay..." Xuantianzong's attitude was always relatively modest.
"Then, let's take a look at what Xuantianzong wrote in seven minutes." After Oscar said that, the paragraph written by Xuantianzong appeared on the big screen, [Beside the clouds, a figure suddenly stood up, a long cyan figure
His hair is vertical to his waist. He has a tall figure, luxurious robes, and a cold and arrogant look on his handsome face. But his back has endless desolation, and his eyes reveal endless depth.]
Oscar finished reading this paragraph, and after the audience's applause passed, he pretended to sigh and said, "Huh... Although this paragraph is not long, it seems that you can already feel that a master who is crazy about coolness is standing there.
Have you seen anything in front of me?" He said, took two steps back, tilted his neck and looked at Feng Bujue and said: "Eh? Let's ask, Bujue is participating in the program for the first time and saw the text of Xuantian Sect.
Are you stressed?"
The camera showed Feng Bujue at the right time, and he could be seen replying with empty eyes, "I'm really under a lot of pressure..."
"Then let's assume that if it were you, use Xuantianzong's keywords. Do you have the confidence to write better content than this paragraph?" Osk asked again. He is obviously a good host. The highlight of this kind of program is
It's about provoking comparisons between writers intentionally or unintentionally, as long as they don't escalate into conflicts.
"Hmm..." After only three seconds, Feng Bujue mused: "He has an unworldly figure and a resolute face, but when he saw this man striding like a meteor, he suddenly arrived and said... 'My military power will bring glory to the world.'"
"Hey... I'm just asking you if you have the confidence to write a better one. Just say it modestly and that's it! Who asked you to dictate another version directly? Why does this word sound so familiar to me?
!Is this Ye Shi's military power? It must be, right?" Oscar complained repeatedly in his mind. He immediately turned back and glanced at the chief director who was watching in the front row, but the other party just said lightly in the earphone: "Continue."
"Ha... haha... no... I don't think the players' reactions are really fast." Oscar said. What he was actually thinking was: I will never ask you this kind of question again.
"Well, Xuantian, what do you think? What about Wujue's version?" Oscar threw the hot potato to Xuantian Sect.
"Uh...not bad, haha..." Xuantianzong's reaction was still calm.
"Okay, next, let's take a look at Brother Ping's keywords." Oscar came to the second player's console.
The key words of Eight Screens are: "tragedy" and "wise man".
Oscar said: "Okay, I have to ask this question again. Brother Ping, is today's question difficult?"
"Disaster……"
There was a burst of laughter from the audience, and Oscar also smiled and said: "The contestants on our show are all so humble, and they never say it is not difficult."
Immediately afterwards, the content written on the eight screens appeared on the screen: [When Wolong came out of the abyss, the whole world was shocked, and the three-thirds of the world was prosperous. He died before his ambition was fulfilled, and the hero burst into tears.]
After Oscar read this poem, the audience immediately burst into applause. He then said: "During the Three Kingdoms period, Cao Zhi could write a poem in seven steps, and our Brother Ping is not bad either. He can write a poem based on three key words in seven minutes."
"No, no... In fact, the last two sentences come from Du Fu's "The Prime Minister of Shu". The original text is 'Departure before victory', the body dies first, which makes the hero burst into tears." Ba Fanping said to the microphone: "I'm just using the topic to play on."
"Brother Ping, if you are so humble, the other contestants will not be able to sit still." Oscar said with a smile, and the audience also laughed.
"In a place like this, some funny sound effects will probably be inserted in post-production to enhance the atmosphere." Feng Bujue, who was in front of the TV, added in an explaining tone.
"By the way, is it okay for the first round of this show to be so difficult?" Xiaotan stuffed a piece of food into his mouth and said while chewing, "If you give me seven minutes and ask me to write based on three key words, I will
At most, write one or two sentences in plain language."
"Well...I thought about it afterwards. Generally speaking, even experienced players who know the rules and are used to creating on the spot need at least one to two minutes to conceive. Then in the remaining five minutes, use
When writing with that kind of input method, the limit is two to three hundred characters." Feng Bujue said: "So you can see that the content written by everyone is actually not very long. Xuantian Sect used less than eighty characters, eight.
On the fan screen, only twenty or eight words were written. This shows that they are familiar with the rules and know how to get high scores in this round. Shortening it to less than a hundred words and using poetry to express it can impress the audience.
"
"Oh, that's it." Xiaotan asked, "Brother Jue, how many words did you write?"
"More than three hundred."
"Pfft..." Xiaotan and Master Bao spat out the contents of their mouths at that time.
"What are you doing? What's your quality? You don't just vomit in your own home, right?" Feng Bujue said unhappily.
At this time, Oscar in the screen had finished revealing the text of numbers three and four, and came to the fifth contestant.
The two keywords that Vegetables and Fruits drew before were relatively difficult, namely "beast" and "change". He wrote more than 100 words, and the article was considered correct. However, compared with the previous two contestants, it was The human feeling is slightly worse.
Mo Buxiang’s keywords are “perseverance” and “power”. Her writing style is changeable, and any keyword should not be difficult for her. But her writing ability in a short period of time is obviously not as good as that of several other professional networkers present. As a writer, she ended up writing more than fifty words. Although the writing was good, the content did not fully express the meaning of those two keywords.
Number 5, I'm going to play, and the keywords I drew are "horror" and "beauty". He is really good, and he wrote a lot in handwriting mode: [The panicked eyes shone brightly, and the originally pale fingers were like corpses. Sallow. The veins on her high and wide forehead rise and fall with extremely subtle emotional changes... rising and falling suddenly. She is still beautiful, but she is about to lose the breath of life and turn into a cold corpse.]
"A very outstanding description." Oscar said, then turned his head and said to Soda: "I wonder what kind of style it would be like if a master of horror wrote this paragraph?"
"Brother Chang must have written better." Soda laughed beside him.
I will go on stage and reply: "The soda is just trying to save my face, but actually it despises me in my heart."
There was a burst of laughter at the scene, and then Oscar came to the soda and said, "Okay. Let's see what keywords the soda has drawn."
The keywords displayed on the screen are "religion" and "evil spirits".
As soon as these two words appeared, the audience became agitated, and the director also consciously let the camera scan the faces of other contestants one by one. There is no doubt that for soda, it is very beneficial to draw these two words. This is He is best in the field of supernatural literature.
But what he wrote was unexpected: "We summon you to a banquet, the master of deep darkness and terror. Enjoy the remaining sad soul, and offer sacrifices to the divine power..."
After Oscar finished reading this, he said half-jokingly: "Soda, where is the content after the ellipsis?"
"Haha, I just wrote this because I ran out of time." Soda is an honest person.
Oscar asked: "Did the idea take too long?"
"No. I wasted three minutes searching for the word '飊' in full spelling, but couldn't find it, so I changed it to handwriting, and then I ran out of time." Soda replied.
Oscar shrugged and made a helpless expression to the camera, and there was laughter from the audience.
"Soda, let us tell you what you are good at." Oscar said with a smile.
Soda just smiled innocently, that was his character. He was relatively easy-going, and it could be said that he had the best mentality during the competition.
"So... finally, let's take a look at the newcomers." Oscar finally came to Feng Bujue: "Bujue, after seeing the performance of the six seniors, are you nervous now?"
"Well... how should I put it, I'm not very good at writing such proposition-bound things..." Feng Bujue replied.
"Oh? Didn't you finish writing like soda?" Oscar asked.
"It's not that..." Feng Bujue said: "It's just that I seem to have gone a little overboard..."
"You put it this way, the audience friends and I are looking forward to it more and more." Oscar said, pointing to the big screen: "Come on, let's take a look at the two keywords that we accidentally picked up..."
The words "war" and "hero" popped up on the screen.
Judging from the reactions of other writers and the audience, this is undoubtedly a very simple question.
"I believe you all feel the same as me at this moment. Yue Fei, Guan Yu, Zhang Zizhong... No less than ten names flashed through my mind in an instant. There are too many characters that can be described in ancient and modern times, both at home and abroad." Oscar turned to the camera and said,
"However, from previous programs, it is not difficult to see that the simpler the proposition, the more difficult it is to handle, because it is difficult to write well. Many contestants did not get high marks in the end because the keywords were too easy.
"Fine." As he spoke, the camera showed another close-up of Feng Bujue, "So... what kind of character will Bujue portray based on the words war and hero? Please take a look..."
As soon as he finished speaking, Brother Jue's text appeared on the big screen: [In the summer of 1945, in the dense forest on the border between China and North Korea, a handsome and burly middle-aged man was examining his guerrillas.
His motherland has been destroyed by the invaders for thirty-five years. Although the body of the motherland has fallen into the hands of the enemy, the soul of the motherland has not died. The outstanding sons and daughters of the motherland are still fighting. He was born in a poor but full of nationalism
The emotional sharecropper family received strong patriotism education since childhood. At the age of fourteen, he swore that he would never return to his hometown until the motherland was independent. He formed the Korean Revolutionary Army at the age of eighteen, and before he reached adulthood, he picked up a gun and fought on the border between China and North Korea.
In the snow-capped mountains, dense forests, white mountains and black waters, he fought a life-and-death struggle with the Kwantung Army, the most elite army unit of the Japanese invaders.
The Korean communists headed by him were the most resolute, heroic, and sacrificed group of people for the independence of the motherland. At this time, they had been fighting an arduous guerrilla war for fifteen years, and he also
He grew from a boy to a middle-aged man and became the leader of the Korean communists in a bloody battle.
He is Kim Il-sung, whom the Korean people respectfully call "Hanbier" (Korean: a star)...]
Oscar felt something was wrong halfway through reading, but he still bit the bullet and tried to keep his tone as steady as possible to finish reading this long paragraph of more than 300 words.
The audience was completely silent, and even the director was dumbfounded. He didn't know how to direct the audience to react.
"Who invited this kid here...Who is it? Who is he?" Oscar's complaint was completely ignited, but he could only cry out in his heart: "War, heroes, characters, this kind of stuff"
Is General Jin the first thing you think of under the keyword? This is outrageous! Are you being sarcastic? It must be right? You will die if you just describe it in two sentences like everyone else? I won’t mention you by name.
What kind of trouble is it to even write out the time and place? Do you think this is a short biography?"
Oscar once again cast a questioning look at the chief director. The subtext of the expression on his face was: Let's stop recording first. Go and have a heart-to-heart talk with that kid, old boy!
Unexpectedly, another sentence came from his earphone: "Xiao Li (live director), direct the audience to applaud. Oscar, you continue."
