The King of Crossover Entertainment

"Which short story do you think will win the first prize in this national short story competition?"

""Murder at the Bandage Monster's Villa" is very stable, trust me."

"The author is very imaginative, especially the murderer's alibi, which is very cleverly written."

"Wouldn't it be nice to watch "Funny Family" to be happy and joyful? It has to be so scary."

"Whether it is short stories, novellas, or novels, mystery novels will always come second. Mystery novel fans, can you help me a little bit this time?"

…

The circle of short stories is very small. Because the number of words is too small, not many people read it, but as long as they love reading it, they will love it.

The National Short Story Contest, held every three years, is a gluttonous feast of short stories.

Even though it was already 11 o'clock in the evening, I still stayed in front of the computer and mobile phone, constantly refreshing the rankings to see if the number of votes for the short stories I supported had increased.

Rigorous, a famous domestic short story writer, is one of them.

Among the hundred short stories, his favorite is of course "The Murder at the Bandage Monster's Villa".

"Why are you more nervous than competing for your own work?"

Various emotions such as anticipation, excitement, excitement, and anxiety surged into Rigo's heart. They hadn't felt like this for a long time.

It is rare to see an author who writes such good short mystery novels in China. Perhaps this is the sympathy between masters.

In fact, in the last two or three hours, the number of votes for "Murder at the Bandage Monster Villa" has increased a lot, and there is a big gap between it and the second place. The first place has been stabilized, and the rigorous wait is after ten o'clock in the evening. The list will be announced at 2 o'clock to see who the author is and whether he knows it.

The result was no surprise.

The list of winners was also announced on the official microcircle of the National Short Story Contest at 12:05.

"Yunfeng?"

I carefully recalled it, but I am still very unfamiliar with this name. I have never heard of this person in the mystery novel circle or short story circle.

Probably a new guy.

That's quite impressive. The writing level of mystery novels and short stories is very high.

At this time, the rigorous daughter came out of the room to get water, saw him still playing with his mobile phone on the sofa in the living room, and asked: "Dad, are you still asleep?"

Yan Jin smiled at his daughter and said, "Go to bed right away."

After her daughter received the water, she sat next to him and said with a smile: "Dad, are you doing something bad behind my mother's back?"

"Don't accuse me unjustly. Your mother will be unhappy again soon." Yan Jin handed the phone to her and explained: "Am I not a judge of this national short story competition? I am looking at the results."

"Let me take a look." The daughter narrowed her eyes and took a look, and suddenly exclaimed: "Yunfeng!"

Yan Jin lightly slapped her hand and said, "Don't wake up your mother by snoring." Then he said, "Do you know this 'Yunfeng'?"

"I wonder if it's the 'Yunfeng' I know." The daughter smiled and said, "There is a singer-songwriter who is very popular on the Internet recently. The songs he sings and writes are always good."

"Ah?" Yan Jin was startled for a moment and said, "Singer?"

The daughter nodded and said, "Yes, the singer is only eighteen years old this year."

Hearing that this "Yunfeng" was only eighteen years old, Yan Jing ruled it out and said: "It should, maybe, maybe two people with the same name."

The daughter shrugged, stood up and said, "Dad, I'm going back to the room, you should go to bed early."

Yan Jin nodded and said, "Yeah."

After her daughter left, Yan Jin took her mobile phone and clicked into the short story circle. After browsing for a while, she confirmed that this Yunfeng was indeed the singing Yunfeng, so she created a new post and started editing the content.

at the same time.

On the hot list of microcircles, there is a hot search like this: Genius students from the Magic City Conservatory of Music cross the world of novels.

"Damn it, are these two 'Yunfeng' the same person?"

"This book "Murder at the Bandage Monster's Villa" is very informative, story-telling, popular and entertaining. I always thought the author would be a long-established and experienced boss. Unexpectedly, he turned out to be a newcomer. Written by the author."

"I really like his songs. It turns out he can also write novels."

"I can sing, write songs, and now I can even write novels. I'm so awesome."

…

Readers were very surprised.

They never imagined that the first prize winner in this national short story competition would be a new author, and he also came from across the field.

The gap is too great.

A good short story is difficult to write. Due to the limited number of words, it needs to be concise, the narrative concise and clear, and the story must be strong. In this way, it cannot be added with gorgeous and complex diction, as well as long paragraphs of lyricism. The beauty of the story requires good control and good cultural skills.

However, writing mystery short stories is even more difficult. You need to plan an impossible crime like a rigorous murderer, design clues like threads and threads, and think about jumping like a game with yourself, etc.

It’s not enough to write a story clearly in a few thousand words. It also needs to be written vividly and wonderfully.

Therefore, readers will subconsciously think that the authors of the top three works must have written short stories of the same type and have achieved some success.

At this time, Yan Jin made a post in the short story circle: "Yunfeng won the first prize in this national short story competition, just like the case written in "The Bandage Monster Villa Murder Case", unexpected and reasonable, I hope While Yunfeng brings beautiful songs, he can also create more beautiful short stories for us.”

Name-dropping praise from famous writers of short mystery novels.

One stone stirs up a thousand waves.

A few minutes later, Bai Haichang, the famous short story author and author of "Funny Family" which won the second prize, commented on the post: "This is a rising star in the world of short stories."

Immediately afterwards, Fu Peihan, the famous romance novelist and the author of "Unsleepable on Rainy Nights" which won the third prize, also commented on the post: "I wrote "Unsleepable on Rainy Nights" after listening to "Steady Happiness". I wrote it out of emotion. I didn’t expect to lose to the songwriter in this national short story competition. I don’t know whether I should be happy or happy.”

There are many other participating authors who followed them and commented on this post.

"Witness the birth of a genius short story writer."

"Indeed, the first short story has won the first prize in the hands of many famous writers. It is not an exaggeration to use the word 'genius' to describe it."

"It's a pity that we didn't see the spectacular scene of killing new songs on the popularity charts."

"No, there are a few more works that are as good as "Murder at the Bandage Monster's Villa". Will we still be allowed to play with them?"

"In the short story competition, I lost to my favorite singer. Even though I lost, it was an honor."

…

At this moment, Zheng Rong, who was brushing micro circles on the bed, admired Yunfeng very much.

Singing, writing songs, playing musical instruments, drawing comics, writing novels, and short stories, this is nothing but genius.

"I finally know why he took such a strange pen name as 'Crossover King'."

Zheng Rong put down his mobile phone, put his hands on his head and put his palms on the back of his head, staring at the ceiling, with a bright smile on his face.

In his opinion, Yunfeng's talent in the three fields of music, novels, and comics is no longer an ordinary genius, but a genius among geniuses.

He once again felt proud of his decisive cooperation with Yunfeng at that time. If he missed such an opportunity, he would regret it to death.

The competition in the short story market is also fierce and cruel, and everyone wants to get such a talented writer.

Several storytelling publications and short story magazines in China are all ready to offer Yunfeng an olive branch and recruit them under their banner.

Obviously, Zheng Rong also realized this and felt that he should take precautions.

but……

Yunfeng is now a shareholder of Youxianqi Magazine, so he probably won't look far away to cooperate with other magazines.

There is an old saying that goes, "Don't let the rich water flow to outsiders' fields."

Thinking of this, Zheng Rong put his heart back in his stomach.
