Chapter 148 Essay Contest
"You're participating too?"
Feng Shuyuan never expected that the first thing Li Ming said would be this.
"Director Li's participation? Isn't that a game-changer?"
Feng Shuyuan made a precise and apt remark.
Li Ming's expression froze.
Yes, I know so much more about Anwar than these viewers, and I'm also a screenwriter. It seems a bit inappropriate for me to compete with other tourists.
Seeing Li Ming's stunned expression, Feng Shuyuan smiled triumphantly:
"Just kidding, we never restricted the identities of the participants in the first place."
As he spoke, Feng Shuyuan added, half-jokingly:
"If we're talking about any restrictions, everyone except me can participate."
"It's alright, Boss Feng. I just want to participate in this event. If it doesn't work out, I don't have to participate. I just want to write a short story along with everyone."
After hearing Feng Shuyuan's words, Li Ming suddenly didn't want to participate anymore.
"Okay, you can write as usual. If you come in first place, I'll give you a special participation award. If you don't come in first, you'll just be in your usual place, how about that?"
Feng Shuyuan never expected that his casual remark would trigger Li Ming's pride.
Now, she couldn't force Leon Lai to participate in the competition, so she could only offer a compromise.
"it is good."
After thinking about Boss Feng's suggestion, Li Ming realized that it seemed reasonable and wouldn't be considered unfair, so he agreed.
"Alright, let's take a look at this essay contest first."
Feng Shuyuan wiped away non-existent sweat from his forehead and quickly changed the subject.
"no problem."
Li Ming and Hui Hongshen also enjoy reading various short stories as a form of relaxation and inspiration.
This essay contest is also a great opportunity to understand the audience's preferences and delve into their hearts.
So the three of them sat side by side and began to review the submitted works one by one.
Because this competition was held when Feng Shuyuan told everyone the story of Emperor Xuanzong of Tang and Yang Guifei, many people were deeply influenced by this love story, so there are quite a few people who write about this kind of subject matter.
Most of them are: tragic love stories between a king and his concubine, between a king and his queen, between a general and his concubine, between a general and his wife...
Looking at the contents of each manuscript, Feng Shuyuan felt a little amused and exasperated.
This content really focuses on permutations and combinations.
However, in descriptions of similar themes, the quality of writing is fully revealed.
Unlike Li Ming and Hui Hongshen's repeated exclamations, Feng Shuyuan appeared much calmer.
After all, in her previous life, she was considered to have "read extensively."
She has read novels of all genres, themes, and imaginative ideas.
Moreover, in this world where entertainment is not very developed, these ideas are still very basic for her.
However, this also allows her to calm down and analyze the content of these articles more carefully.
Feng Shuyuan grouped articles with similar themes and ideas together, and then sorted them according to their writing quality.
Although many of her works don't make the list, she's still happy to give feedback to the young visitors who submit their work to her.
"Wow, he's actually a bad guy?! I never expected this! This is incredible!"
Feng Shuyuan was writing a commentary when he suddenly heard Li Ming shout in surprise beside him.
"?What's wrong?"
Feng Shuyuan was somewhat puzzled.
Although Li Ming and Hui Hongshen had been making a big fuss for a long time, this was the first time he had ever reacted so strongly.
"Boss Feng! Look at this story!"
Seeing that Feng Shuyuan was trying to chat, Li Ming couldn't wait to share the story he had just read with her:
"I think this author's idea is fantastic!"
Seeing how highly Li Ming praised it, Feng Shuyuan also took a curious look.
The story is about a woman from a noble family who, unable to bear the strict atmosphere at home, disguises herself as a man to relax and unexpectedly encounters the male protagonist who is traveling incognito.
The two hit it off immediately, becoming like brothers and traveling together, but feelings for each other secretly developed during the journey.
The female protagonist knows she is a woman, so she falls in love with the male protagonist without any reservations.
However, because her parents had arranged a marriage for her, she couldn't express her feelings, which caused her constant inner turmoil.
The male lead's side is even more exciting.
He initially treated the female lead as a buddy, but he found himself unconsciously drawn to her.
Society demands that men not love other men, so he used brotherhood to numb himself until another good brother appeared, at which point he realized the difference in his feelings for the two good brothers.
He couldn't tell his two best friends about this shocking thing, so he kept it to himself.
It wasn't until he was drunk one day that he inadvertently revealed his true feelings to the second male lead.
The next day, when the male protagonist woke up, he was comforted by the second male lead.
He encouraged the male protagonist to bravely acknowledge his own heart.
The male protagonist was somewhat tempted by what he said, but when he moved closer to the female protagonist, he received a subtle rejection from her.
He was extremely frustrated, realizing that perhaps not everyone could accept all of this as he had.
He also began to learn to forget his feelings.
This eerie atmosphere persisted all the way to the capital.
Upon arriving in the capital, the protagonist's true identity is revealed: he is actually the crown prince traveling incognito.
As soon as he arrived in Beijing, he was impeached.
The reason for his impeachment was surprisingly that he liked men.
The male protagonist watched in shock as his brother led a hundred officials to impeach him, and for a moment he was speechless.
He had only told this to his best friend, the second male lead.
It turns out that the second male lead is working for the eldest prince.
From the very beginning, his purpose in approaching the male protagonist was to find his weaknesses and bring him down.
Just now, Li Ming saw this and that's why he exclaimed in surprise.
I must say, this author's writing is really good.
The plot is full of twists and turns, and the content is intricately linked, which can even make readers curious to continue reading.
After all, at this point in time, readers know that the female lead is actually a girl, and the undercover agent on the other side has already revealed himself.
They are now more eager to see the male lead rise up, thwart all conspiracies, and then marry the female lead.
"It's really good."
Feng Shuyuan was already very satisfied with this.
This author's skill level is completely different from those she had seen before, both in terms of plot and writing style.
"Maybe I can just choose number one."
Feng Shuyuan smiled.
"Alright, Mr. Feng, I've recommended this good stuff to you. Now, I'm going to continue looking at it."
Without looking up, Li Ming said:
"Don't disturb me while I'm reading the story."
"it is good."
Seeing Li Ming's focused expression, Feng Shuyuan didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
She lowered her head and continued reading.
