Bitter Love Of Youth - C67
Very quickly, the students of the College of Arts welcomed their final exam. A lot of students were still trying to cope with the situation, but the only one who was looking forward to the exam’s arrival was Wang Ru. This was her last chance to prove herself.
Wang Ru and Chen Xueruo were very calm because they had made their preparations long ago, but Li Molin was a little nervous in comparison. She had delayed for several days because of a lot of things, but she was still confident.
After the exam, just as everyone was anxiously waiting for the results, it was time for the short story competition to begin. After thinking for so long, it was time for his thoughts to bear fruit.
Before she started writing, Wang Ruo wanted to look for Principal Zhang. She knew that Principal Zhang was very busy, but the outline was related to the success or failure of the story. The process of creation was like a movie going on.
At the beginning, Wang Ruo had wanted to look for Teacher Chen, but after some thought, she felt that she should find Principal Zhang. Principal Zhang had his own unique insights into writing. Although he and Teacher Chen each had their own specialties, Teacher Chen had already passed on his own experience to them. If he could get guidance from Principal Zhang at this time, he would have a better grasp of it.
However, it was very likely that he would be rejected if he went to see Principal Zhang.
In President Zhang’s heart, students were equal. It didn’t matter if they were students from the academy or not, he had always treated them the same.
But even so, he still had to have the attitude of giving it a try.
Chen Xue and Li Molan were not willing to be left behind. If they wanted to die, they would die together, and if they wanted to be scolded, they would be scolded together. However, if they were lucky enough to get some guidance, they might be a big step closer to success.
With all sorts of uneasiness, the three sisters knocked on the door of Principal Zhang’s office.
“Principal Zhang was very polite. When he found out that they had come for the outline of the novel, not only did he not decline, he even happily accepted it.” I’m not wrong about you guys. From this, I can see the spirit in you guys: hopefully or not, you will not give up any chance. Learn how to use the resources on the spot to maximize their use. ”
Principal Zhang further explained, “Actually, it’s very impolite to say that I’m really busy, but none of the other students have come to find me. Because of this, I must share my thoughts with you.”
There weren’t many words for the outline. Soon, Principal Zhang finished reading the outline of the three sisters.
First, he pointed out the benefits and the ingenuity of the three sisters’ ideas — their structure was very tight, their characters were fresh and unblemished, and they gave a great deal of inspiration to reality. “Then it was pointed out that the novel was not creative enough, and the story fell into the cliché.” There are countless outstanding novelists, and if you want to stand out, you need to have your own ideas. If you want to write a story that has been written by your predecessors, no matter how wonderful it is, you can only go to a dead end. Only if the story itself is wonderful enough, the content is wonderful enough, the content is wonderful enough, then there will be a reader, and only when you are creating something will there be a meaning, otherwise, the thing that you painstakingly created will ultimately just be a pile of scrap paper. ”
Hearing Principal Zhang’s words, the three sisters could not help but feel a little disheartened. Innovation was not an easy task, especially for beginners like them who had never participated in a competition before.
Principal Zhang had also pointed out a path for them: the internet was now so advanced, that they could go online to exhaust all possible information, improve their own stories, and create new ones. However, the final outcome would depend on their comprehension ability and talent. That was all he could do for his guidance.
The three sisters treated Principal Zhang’s words as a creed. After returning home, they began to surf the internet from noon to evening. They didn’t even have time to eat lunch. Otherwise, since they had prepared some snacks, the three sisters would definitely be starving again.
He didn’t think that the three of them would really have such a great harvest. They discovered that their story had been tried by many people from beginning to end. If you want something new, you have to work on the development of the story. Finally, after some discussion, the three sisters decided on the following three principles: “300 words small climax, 1000 words big climax”, “let people see the beginning and not the end”, and “not allow the whole text to have any extra words”. Following these three principles, it was impossible for the novel to not be interesting.
However, to achieve the first two were relatively easy, but the third was even harder. There wasn’t a single extra word, which meant that every word must have its own use. At the very least, in order to express a certain theme and to create an atmosphere, it was definitely not easy, but the three sisters had already established this awareness.
On the last day, the three sisters sent their work to the designated mailbox.
At this moment, Teacher Chen announced the results of the entire class. In the overall performance rankings, Wang Ruo was still first place, while Chen Xueruo was second. When she reached third place, both Li Mo Lan and Zhou Ruo’s hearts were pounding; third place, Zhou Ruo Ruo.
At this time, Li Molin’s heart turned cold, she never thought that this time, she would really lose to Zhou Ruo. But then, she felt even more ashamed. Fourth place: Zhang Haiyan. Fifth place: Yang Haichun … Up to the 10th place, Li Molan’s name still didn’t come out.
After the teacher finished reading the top ten names, he stopped reading because the students who did not have good results were disgraced.
Everyone started to discuss, what happened to Li Moran?
At this moment, Teacher Chen added: “Li Moran, second place.”
Li Molan was happy, but Zhou Ruo was disappointed. Although she entered the top three, she still lost to the three sisters.
In order to give Li Molan a bit of excitement and surprise, Teacher Chen purposely put on this act.
Teacher Chen said, “Our class’s results are very stable, and for every exam, the top three places will be taken over by Wang Ru, Chen Xueruo, and Li Moran. Although Zhou Ruo has entered the top three this time, no one can surpass her, so this proves that the outstanding students will always be outstanding, and let us applaud their excellence.”
A round of enthusiastic applause brought the three sisters’ studies to a successful end.
After the results were announced, everyone began to leave the venue. Just as Li Moran was about to leave, Teacher Chen called out to Li Moran.
Li Molan was a little panicked, but in order to prevent Wang Ru and Chen Xueruo from detecting that something was wrong, she politely replied as usual, “Teacher Chen, is something the matter?”
“Nothing, I’m just really happy for you.” Teacher Chen quickly added, “I’m happy for you three sisters.”
