Chapter 721
As soon as Sa Beibei finished speaking, the countdown on the screen in the middle started again.
【44:59】
……
【44:57】
……
【44:35】
……
Seeing this, the viewers in the live stream also became tense.
"Damn, this feels like a classroom quiz."
"I was watching a TV show, but it felt like I was in class."
"Teacher, I have a question. I want to see what Su Laoliu is writing."
……
Once the countdown began, each contestant looked on with a serious expression, as if facing a formidable enemy.
After all, everything is difficult at the beginning. When creating a novel or a story, if you can attract readers from the start, you've already succeeded halfway.
Moreover, the production team has already determined the theme.
No matter what story the contestants write, they must reiterate the theme at the end.
Otherwise, if you go off-topic, you will be eliminated.
This was also one of the elimination rules that Sa Beibei had previously announced.
Of the final twenty contestants, the four judges reviewed each one's work.
If a contestant is found to have strayed from the topic, the four judges will vote on whether that contestant can stay on.
It's easy to imagine how much this first episode tested the contestants' mental resilience.
however.
Just when all the contestants were looking cautious.
One contestant's performance, however, was quite unique and eye-catching.
That contestant is—Su Yu.
Su Yu looked down, his hands frantically typing on the screen in front of him.
Upon seeing this, Sa Beibei immediately said, "It seems that most contestants are currently in the brainstorming stage, which is normal."
"After all, if they choose the wrong direction at the beginning, then what awaits them in the end is bound to be a path of failure."
"But one contestant seems to have an idea and has started writing."
"Could the director please cut to the scene in the Inspiration Space?"
In order to provide the contestants with a quiet and comfortable creative space as much as possible.
The production team specially designed the stage into a series of independent squares.
Let's call it—Inspiration Space!
In the inspiration space, there is an all-around camera and everything needed for creating.
Contestants can also bring in some personal items according to their own creative habits.
Of course, only items that can be broadcast can be brought in.
Some eccentric screenwriters might have to play video games while creating their work.
You can't bring that in with you.
In addition, there is a long, horizontal electronic control screen in the inspiration space.
For the contestants to use for their creative work.
The electronic control panel is very powerful.
It is said that the interface is the author assistant software developed by Tomato Novels, one of the most popular free online novel platforms in China.
Therefore, as Sa Beibei spoke, the audience also became very curious about Su Yu.
"He started writing so quickly?"
"I hope the exam questions weren't leaked beforehand."
"When I saw this comment, I didn't know whether to laugh or get angry."
"If Su Laoliu could get CCTV to leak the questions for him, wouldn't he be able to get on the Spring Festival Gala?"
"Rumor has it that I have a cousin who works at the State Administration of Culture and Entertainment."
"I heard that Su Laoliu's Huanyu Company wants to produce a TV series based on 'Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio'."
"The results were all rejected. The reason why Su Laoliu participated in this program was because he valued the reward."
"The standard starts with 'I have a cousin,' which is actually just yourself."
"A reward? What kind of reward!"
"I'll give you the small path as a reward."
……
Some people were driving, while others were answering questions seriously.
They posted screenshots of the awards and prizes previously announced by the program team.
"The stories created will have priority for adaptation, and the TV series produced will be broadcast directly on CCTV."
"So, does that mean Su Laoliu only participated in the show to get the company's TV series aired?"
"But didn't the State Administration of Culture and Entertainment just publish an article praising Su Laoliu? Logically speaking, they shouldn't be supporting Huanyu Company!"
"Shh! I heard the State Administration of Culture and Entertainment has a new leader. As the saying goes, every generation of generals has a new generation of soldiers."
"As the saying goes, a new broom sweeps clean, and those fires will surely burn the veterans."
It has to be said that sometimes these rumors are actually quite true.
Su Yu's main purpose for participating in the program has basically been exposed.
"If that's the case, I can only say that Su Laoliu is too fierce."
"After being blacklisted by the State Administration of Culture and Entertainment, he immediately went on to participate in a CCTV program."
"You have to understand that CCTV is the face of China. To some extent, it can easily outperform the State Administration of Culture and Entertainment."
"Of course, you should take a look at the organizers of this program. CCTV came first, and the State Administration of Culture and Tourism came second."
"So, what Su Laoliu means is: you blacklist me, I'll just slap you in the face."
Audiences tend to sympathize with the underdog.
Especially the weak who are born with a rebellious spirit.
Therefore, many viewers quickly empathized with Su Yu.
However, after the big screen displayed what Su Yu had written on the writer's assistant...
Everyone stopped talking.
Just see it on the big screen.
It's all about one word—grass!
Of course, there are also one or two "roots" mixed in.
"How should I write 'grass grass grass grass...root'?"
Su Yu murmured.
Audience member: "...Is he swearing?"
Sa Beibei: "Goodness, I knew I shouldn't have looked at Su Yu. One glance and I got a screen full of insults. And this 'root' looks so weird."
The words "grassroots" together originally evoked positive energy.
But when Su Yu disassembled and wrote it down, it felt a bit dirty.
"Forget about Su Yu, another star contestant has started writing. Let's see what he wrote."
Sa Beibei was truly ashamed.
If you keep staring at Su Yu's screen and making those connections, it might become something unsuitable for children.
the other side.
The large screen broadcast switched to another contestant's writer assistant.
"Lin Feng has already begun creating script elements."
"Male lead character"
Occupation: Race car driver.
Personality: Impulsive
Synopsis: ..."
Upon seeing what Lin Feng had written, the audience immediately became very interested.
Many people liked and supported the post, leaving comments and sending bullet screen messages:
"A life as a race car driver? It feels pretty good."
"I'm donating a calligraphy brush to help Lin Feng."
"I'll tip you with an inspiration capsule."
"I'm giving a reward to a top-tier verified user!"
(Explicitly requesting donations)
"..."
The production team has opened up a donation channel for each contestant.
Viewers then vote and tip based on the quality of the content created by the contestants.
The higher the reward value, the higher the contribution value.
Just now, thanks to the wave of donations from the audience, Lin Feng's popularity has risen to number one in this episode.
The other contestants also felt the pressure upon seeing this.
At the same time, I also understood a principle.
That is, regardless of whether it goes off-topic or whether the subsequent plot is easy to write.
Let's get through the first episode first, for goodness sake.
So, one by one, the contestants began to write.
The gifts started floating up.
Gradually, the other contestants became more and more popular, while Su Yu, who was initially ranked first in popularity, was slowly squeezed out of the top ten.
at last.
Just as Su Yu was about to be ranked thirtieth.
The sixth brother finally started writing.
In the live stream, the audience was very curious about what story Su Yu had created.
Many viewers flooded the screen with comments like, "Director, could you please cut to what Su Laoliu actually wrote?"
"It can't be that the screen is full of grass again, can it?"
"..."
He Jiong had long ago asked Sa Beibei to take care of Su Yu.
In addition, the audience was curious, and with a reasonable reason, they took the microphone and said, "Then please ask our director to turn the camera back to contestant Su Yu's creative screen."
at the same time.
In the live broadcast room.
Specific creative information is presented one by one.
Male lead: Gao Qiqiang
"..."
Occupation: Fishmonger
"..."
Male lead: An Xin
……
Occupation: Police Officer
"..."
Upon seeing this scene, viewers were stunned and exclaimed, "Wow, two male leads! Can this even be aired?!"
