Chapter 149: A mortal body, on par with gods

"What the hell? National Youth Story Innovation Competition? I've never heard of it!"

"What, you haven't heard of this?"

"This is the most important event in the cultural and creative industry every July. I wonder if you are Chinese?"

"My forehead is sweating."

"Let me tell you this, the popular TV series and movies in the past two years, "The Mountain Cat" and "The Order of the Knight", are all adapted from this show."

"Hmm? Really? I love both of these movies. I have to go check them out!"

In the program's pre-promotion, the defending champion Su Xinghe was placed on a pedestal, causing a sensation across the country.

Even though the judges and big-name guests posted their support on Weibo, there are still many people who have not watched the show and scoffed at it.

"Su Xinghe, a breaker in the field of Chinese cultural creation, a future leader?"

"Haha, these old guys in the entertainment industry, a young boy can be praised like this by them, he is really going backwards as time goes by."

"It's just a tool for capital to make money. There are always a few of them every year."

"That's right. Last year, that new literary star was praised so highly, but in the end, he was beaten by others in an international competition."

"No, this competition has been very popular on the Internet recently. Haven't you watched it?"

"I have seen it, but I think it is just so-so. I can even say it is hard to describe. It is full of old story routines."

"That defending champion Su Xinghe, I think except for the new world view, the story is just so-so, nothing special."

“Nothing special?!”

"Are you still thinking that just having hands is enough? You are so good, why don't you go up and try to see if you can write it out."

"Don't argue with these idiots. After all, there are literary giants per capita on the Internet."

"."

For a time, the internet was abuzz with discussion and the topic remained hot.

Because there were only four players left in the semi-finals, the competition time was greatly shortened.

Therefore, the program will also be broadcast on CCTV's prime time at 7 pm.

By then, the heat will be even greater.

The week flew by.

The day of the semi-finals.

The venue was decorated with colorful lights and reporters from major media outlets rushed to report on the scene.

At this moment, a few miles away.

Beijing Film Academy.

After finishing their homework, all the students in the school spontaneously organized themselves and gathered together, going to classrooms, cafeterias, playgrounds and other places with projection screens.

Cheer for Su Xinghe.

"Come on, Junior Brother Su!"

"The only one in Beijing Film Academy, the glory of our school in this competition depends on you!"

"Keep up your previous form and you'll definitely win the championship. Don't let anything unexpected happen."

"Shot up! Stop being such a pessimist!"

"It's a pity that Senior Qin Yiman was eliminated too early, otherwise..."

"Oh, it's okay. Trust Su Xinghe. He is enough for me."

"Indeed, anyone who has watched his previous competitions knows that he always crushes the competition, and those young authors with little fame are no match for him."

"Oh God Su, you are truly the God of our Jingying!!"

Six o'clock sharp.

The audience watching the competition took their seats one after another, followed by the four judges and four guests.

It's different from before.

Today, many senior board leaders from the three major cultural media companies that are the title sponsors of the competition were in attendance to watch the game.

As a bonus contributor.

When it comes to the semi-finals, they naturally have to go and watch in person.

Firstly, I wanted to see if there were any good stories suitable for adaptation and pre-purchase the copyright.

Secondly, he wanted to select young writers and screenwriters who were worth training for his company.

Half an hour later, the live broadcast started on the entire network.

In just one minute, the number of viewers in the live broadcast room soared to a terrifying three million.

"Oh my god, it's stuck?"

“There are too many people.”

"Oh my god, I just came in and the screen is full of bullet comments, are you monsters?"

"Which one is Su Xinghe? You're bragging like that, let me see what you are talking about."

"Underage competition, low-ability players." "Brainless haters? Where did this idiot come from?"

"Where is the administrator of the live broadcast room? Can you bear to watch this? Can you ban me?"

The live broadcast started not long ago.

The host Sa Xiaoning came on stage to warm up the audience before the competition, and introduced the judges, guests and leaders present.

At seven o'clock sharp.

With the ringing of a bell throughout the venue, the semi-finals officially began.

After the four contestants came onto the stage, there was applause and cheers from the audience.

"Su Shen is awesome!!"

"I can't wait for the semi-finals. Bring out all your best stuff and let us feast our eyes!!"

"Come on, Xiao Sun! We don't have to compete for the championship, but we must get the runner-up and beat Han Sinian!"

At this time.

Sa Xiaoning came to the front of the stage and started talking excitedly:

"After a full month of elimination rounds, I believe our four players have gained some experience and growth."

“Being able to stand here, their creative abilities are absolutely unquestionable.”

"Today, we will decide the two strongest young creators here."

"Tomorrow, we will have the final battle."

Sa Xiaoning turned around and looked at the four contestants:

"Excuse me, are you ready?"

Su Xinghe and others nodded.

Then, Sa Xiaoning solemnly announced:

"Semi-final story theme."

"Please look at the big screen!"

In an instant, the whole audience held their breath, and everyone looked at the big screen nervously and expectantly.

I saw the screen flashing for three seconds.

Keywords appear.

【Stand firm】

About half a minute passed.

Everyone came back to their senses from their panic and started talking about it.

"Stand firm."

"To be honest, when I first saw this word, my brain didn't react at all."

"I feel the same way. Maybe this word is too common and it feels bland."

“And it’s a bit broad.”

“I think of the mountains first, and then I think of the human will.”

"Tsk, this is the semi-finals? With such a simple theme, I can do it too."

"It's boring. I'm leaving now. Bye!"

"Don't worry, the theme is simple, which is actually the highlight and can truly test the contestants' innovative ability."

"Yes, it's the simplest and the most difficult. The theme is not important. The most important thing is the engaging story."

The competition began amid the discussions of the audience.

The four contestants boarded the four smart writing chairs facing the audience.

Looking at the extremely familiar equipment in front of him, Su Xinghe's thoughts couldn't help but drift, as if the old feeling had returned.

"Standing firm?"

"It has to be him!!"

After deciding what to write, Su Xinghe picked up his pen and wrote the first sentence.

【The mortal body is on par with the gods. 】

"oh?!"

The first person to express surprise upon seeing this sentence was judge Chen Kaige.

"A mortal body is on par with a god!"

"I haven't seen the word God for a long time. The last time I remember it was the Throat of the Despicable."

Jiang Tao nodded and said, "Yes, a little further away, we will find the Angel Sisters."

“Hahaha, I feel like I’m full of energy right now. Every time he writes about something related to God, the story will definitely be very exciting!!”

Chen Kaige rubbed his hands excitedly and kept turning his head left and right. For a moment, he didn't know who to share his feelings with.
