In 2005, Hunan Satellite TV's Super Girl Draft has been held for two sessions.
The era of entertaining yourself to death has secretly begun. Most ordinary people living in this era have not noticed the changes in time. For contemporary young literature lovers, Under the Banyan Tree in 2005 was still in its final highlight period. This year
In the first half of the year, it even formed a strategic alliance with Peking University Founder and began to enter the rising industry of e-books... Who could have guessed that just one year later, due to poor management, Beta-Shuman would sell "Under the Banyan Tree" at a 50% discount!
The changes of the times, sometimes like China's reform and opening up in the 1980s, are dramatic.
Some are like now, such as in the first few years after the millennium, when changes are subtle and silent. People living in this era are lucky and confused. When they look back more than ten years later, they find themselves
Inexplicably unable to keep up with the development of the times?
These dull people began to criticize the social atmosphere and became impetuous. They began to shout that Chinese music is dead, movies are dead, and literature is dead!
Of course music, movies and literature will not die. These are arts with almost no threshold for ordinary people. How could they die? They just continue to exist in another form.
Songs no longer need to be stored on tapes and CDs, and become digital music.
Movies are polarized. People go to cinemas to watch big IP series movies with increasingly sophisticated special effects and higher box office. Generally, movies are just waiting to be watched online. There are even big online movies that are only played on online platforms.
.
As for literature——
The paper media is lonely, and it is lonely under the banyan tree. "Sprout" and the New Concept Competition, including the youth magazines familiar to the post-80s generation, seem to have lost their popularity.
So is literature really dead and no one will read it anymore?
no.
There are still readers who like to read, not only those born in the 1980s who got married and started a business, but also those born in the 1990s and 2000s. But the way people read has changed, from buying physical books to reading e-books, and the time for reading has become fragmented.
The place to get books has also changed from bookstores to mobile apps.
Both online literature and traditional literature are literature, and all authors who can succeed in the online literature industry have two skills. Some stubborn people refuse to admit that this group of people may be the ones now clamoring for celebrities to advertise essay contests as vulgar.
The same people who invaded literature.
Resist new things.
Refuse to embrace the changing times.
It slowly became an antique.
Wen Ying herself doesn't care. The people the essay competition is trying to attract are not old antiques. Whether these people participate or not has no loss for her!
On the evening of the 3rd, the promotional video for the essay contest was broadcast on Hunan Satellite TV.
First it was Yun Chen, then Zhang Yangning, then Li Mengjiao, and finally Wen Ying.
When Yun Chen's promotional video was first aired, the audience in front of the TV was surprised and delighted.
It’s actually Yun Chen!
Is Yun Chen filming an advertisement?
Hey, why is it not an advertisement, but a promotional video for an essay contest?
Yun Chen's promotional video naturally focuses on Yun Chen's beauty - bah bah bah, no, it focuses on showing the cultured side of Yun Chen. Yun Chen debuted late, but he is different from other male models in Baodao. Yun Chen is
He only entered the industry after graduating from college. His academic qualifications really set him apart from a large number of Taiwanese male stars nowadays!
Of course, Yun Chen's academic qualifications were not mentioned in the promotional video. It's just that Yun Chen wanted to shoot a promotional video for an essay competition. His temperament was really good.
It is admirable to have an elite style and be artistic.
In the promotional video, Yun Chen does not play anyone, he is himself, an actor eager for a breakthrough.
Yun Chen shuttled through the library and walked in the bookstore. His long and beautiful fingers ran across the neatly arranged spines of the books. He was looking for stories that could move him. He was eager to play better roles.
"I will interpret your story."
When Yun Chen said these words to the camera, the hearts of the female viewers in front of the TV skipped a beat.
Subtitles appeared on the screen. On November 15th, along with the registration form distributed by the magazine "Spark", outstanding works have the opportunity to be adapted into film and television works. Can Yun Chen be cast?
"I can!"
"This is a call to me!"
"Can I register only on the 15th? Can I do it in advance?"
Not only Yun Chen's fans are restless, but also some young literature lovers.
Compared with fans who have to hold back for two hours to write an 800-word essay, they can be called literature lovers. Writing an 800-word essay is not a problem, and most literature lovers have the same writing dream as Wen Ying.
The New Concept Essay Contest receives so many submissions every year, which is enough to illustrate the creative desire of the younger generation.
Although this "Tianjiao·Spark Cup" essay competition is not like the new concept where you can lower your score to get into a prestigious school, the essay stories have the opportunity to be adapted into film and television works, which is also very good!
In Yun Chen's promotional video, it still didn't say how the specific awards will be arranged.
Yun Chen's fans are watching the fun, while those who are interested in participating are heartbroken.
I want to watch it again, but Yunchen's promotional video was no longer aired, and during commercial time, it was replaced by a promotional video starring Zhang Yangning!
Zhang Yangning's promotional video focuses on Zhang Yangning's original talent.
In the promotional video, Zhang Yangning is Zhang Yangning. She shut herself in the room and held the guitar to find inspiration. She plucked the strings over and over again, sometimes frowning, sometimes elated. When she was emotional, she even cried and tore up the music sheet until a smooth melody came out.
Overflowing from under her fingers, it was dawn, and the sunlight shone through the window on Zhang Yangning's face. Her expression was so light and content.
"Creation is universal. Good stories are as contagious as good music. I write songs and you write stories!"
I write the songs and you write the stories.
Such a simple sentence, but I was touched after hearing it.
Zhang Yangning doesn’t have many fans.
In last year's competition, she couldn't compete with Li Mengjiao and Xu Mei.
He released one record, but it didn't make much of a splash. People in the industry knew that Zhang Yangning had switched jobs to Tianjiao, but passers-by outside the industry didn't know.
People who don’t blog may not even know that Zhang Yangning is still creating.
Zhang Yangning is a dream chaser.
Everyone has a dream.
——Perhaps, you can try to submit a manuscript to this competition?
This is an essay competition with no barriers.
Just buy a copy of "Spark" magazine, fill out the registration form and send it to the magazine editorial department to participate!
The subtitles on the screen revealed new information: short stories, novels, we accept them all, only the most exciting ones!
"Both short stories and long stories are acceptable? Why don't you reveal more requirements? It's really worrying!"
There were Yun Chen's and Zhang Yangning's. Some viewers realized that there should be more than two groups in the promotional video.
After all, four people’s blogs were promoted this morning, but now only Yun Chen and Zhang Yangning’s blogs are there. Does that make sense?
There must be Li Mengjiao too!
...Maybe there are even small fish?
Will there be any small fish?
Xiaoyu doesn’t seem to like being in the spotlight.
After winning the lawsuit, he was interviewed by "Rongcheng Evening News", but Xiaoyu did not appear on the scene.
Readers left messages on Wen Ying's blog to seek confirmation from Wen Ying.
Of course Wen Ying can't tell. This is the publicity rhythm set by Yuan Fenghui. Today we will broadcast Yun Chen and Zhang Yangning's group, tomorrow we will broadcast Li Mengjiao's group, and then the day after tomorrow we will broadcast Wen Ying's group. This is called creating a sense of expectation and letting Wen Ying
The finale is to reward Wen Ying, a great hero. After all, it was Wen Ying who proposed the essay contest!
In order to cooperate with Yuan Fenghui's arrangements, Wen Ying could only apologize to the readers from the bottom of her heart.
But another news can be announced now. Wen Ying's phone rang, and the caller ID was "Little Salamander". Before picking up the phone, Wen Ying knew why Little Salamander called at this time.
When I answered the phone, Little Salamander's voice was very excited.
"Xiaoyu, the data is out... there are 568,329 books in total!"
