Chapter 1116: Public criticism did not appear

Three Holy Village.

After Li Fan left the invitation letter at home, he went out.

The deadline for submissions is October 30, which is still very early, so he is not in a hurry.

After wandering in the village for a while, he ran into Jared by the side of the stream. He was watching with interest. Tourists were touching crabs in the stream.

Li Fan smiled and said, "Don't Mr. Jared go down and try it?"

Jared smiled and shook his head, and said: "I think it's more interesting to watch them touch it than to touch it yourself."

Li Fan didn’t object to this. Jared said again: “Last night I heard Lucy say that Mr. Li Fan accepted her invitation and it’s great to go to Lan Guo to play. In fact, I have always been I wanted to invite Mr. Li Fan to visit the country of Lan, but Lucy was the first to speak."

Li Fan said: "When you arrive in Lan Guo, you may have to disturb Mr. Jared."

Jared said: "Whatever Mr. Li Fan said, there is such an old saying in China that it is a great pleasure to have friends from afar. I am very much looking forward to Mr. Li Fan's visit at home."

Li Fan smiled and said, "Definitely, definitely, I would like to take a look at the local customs over there."

Jared said with joy: "I think Mr. Li Fan will like it."

After chatting with Jared for a while, Zheng Jie, Liang Sheng, Zhang Xia, and Wu Bingrong also came to the side of the stream.

After greeted Jared and spoke casually for a while, Zheng Jie said to Li Fan: "I have sent you an invitation letter for the Mystery Grand Prix held on the island country. Are you planning to participate?"

Li Fan said: "Participate, everyone has sent the invitation letter, it looks very sincere."

Zheng Jie smiled, nodded, and said nothing.

What is the purpose of the competition organizing committee for sending the invitation letter to Li Fan? He knew that Li Fan could see it naturally.

You can participate in this kind of competition or not. Since Li Fan is willing to participate, let's participate.

After a while, Zheng Jie asked again: "Are you going to compete in a novelette or a short story?"

Li Fandao: "Already have a basic idea. If nothing happens, it should be a long story with a word count of about 150,000 words."

"About 150,000 characters?" Zheng Jie was a little surprised, and Liang Sheng was the same. This time the competition was not serialized, but was published all at once.

Under this circumstance, authors generally choose novelettes with more than tens of thousands of words to enter the competition, because the novella is the best to control and have the most confidence. When readers are reading, the length of the article is also the most suitable.

About 150,000 words, is it a little longer?

Of course, it’s not impossible, and a little longer has the advantage of being longer. As long as it is attractive enough, people don’t want to see half of it.

Such a long story is obviously better than a short and medium story.

It's just that such works are difficult to create.

However, Zheng Jie and Liang Sheng were not worried about Li Fan. Since he dared to use the long story, it proved that he was sure.

Zheng Jie said again: "Or is it based on ancient my country? As far as I know, people on the island country seem to prefer works in a modern context."

Li Fan shook his head and said, "It's not based on the background of ancient my country. Let's use whatever background the people on the island country like."

"Oh?" After hearing this, Zheng Jie and Liang Sheng were a little surprised, but not surprised. They nodded and Zheng Jie smiled: "Sure, then I'll wait to see your work,"

Li Fan smiled and said, "I shouldn't let Zheng Lao down."

...

Zheng Jie and Liang Sheng, why did they know that Li Fan received the invitation letter?

Naturally, many media outlets in China have already reported the matter.

"According to many media reports in the island country, the largest publishing house in the island country, Evergreen Publishing House, will host the first "Evergreen Cup" Mystery Fiction Grand Prix. The island country has developed rapidly in recent years, with the emergence of Ichiro Suzuki and Kenta Yamano. Wait for a group of outstanding mystery novelists."

"The Organizing Committee of the Island Country'Evergreen Cup' Mystery Fiction Grand Prix has issued an invitation to Mr. Li Fan of our country to participate. Will Mr. Li Fan accept the invitation? Let us wait and see."

"The domestic events held by the island countries have specially sent out an invitation to Mr. Li Fan of our country. The purpose is somewhat intriguing."

"Mr. Li Fan once defeated the island country Junichi Takano's "Basketball Boy" with "Slam Dunk". This time he switched to a mystery novel. If Mr. Li Fan accepts the invitation, can he win again? We will continue to pay attention."

"..."

As soon as the media reports came out, they immediately attracted the attention of many people, and there was a lot of discussion on the Internet.

Some netizens expressed excitement that Li Fan should accept the invitation and use an excellent mystery novel to once again defeat the island country mystery writers.

They believe that Li Fan definitely has this strength.

Some netizens also said that Li Fan should be considered carefully. The island country is not a fool. Since they dare to invite Li Fan, it proves that they have the confidence to defeat Li Fan.

They invited Li Fan, but they wanted Li Fan to lose to the mystery writer from their island country.

Their careful thinking makes people understand at a glance.

What the netizens say makes sense, but from the bottom of their hearts, they still hope that Li Fan can accept the invitation and win the game again.

This is especially true for a group of detective fiction fans. In recent years, island country mystery novels have been discovered rapidly, and they have also heard about it. They have also heard of famous mystery novelists such as Ichiro Suzuki and Kenta Yamano.

And this time the island country organizing committee sent an invitation to Li Fan. It was obvious that I wanted Suzuki Ichiro and Yamano Kenta to beat Li Fan in the competition. What a shame!

Without teaching them, they thought that their mystery novel was the best in the world.

The fans of detective novels really hope that Li Fan can use this opportunity to teach those in the island country, the so-called famous mystery novelists.

However, they also have some worries. It is not that Li Fan is not strong enough to teach them, but the mystery that Li Fan is good at is not very popular among islanders.

And this time the judges are all islanders, which adds a lot of uncertainties.

Come to think of it, this is also an important reason why the Island Nations Competition Organizing Committee dare to invite Li Fan to participate.

For Li Fan, this is a bit of a dilemma. Enter, there will be many uncertain factors. If you don't participate, you will definitely make a big fuss on the island country.

What a shame!

...

From the viewpoints of netizens and detective fans, it can be seen that if Li Fan accepts the invitation to participate, they will be very excited.

If Li Fan doesn't accept the invitation, they can fully understand it, so let the island country play it on its own. We don't bother to participate.

These spread to the island country, which made the competition organizing committee and many netizens very disappointed. The public opinion pressure they expected did not appear.

In this way, Li Fan is very likely not to participate. This is really quite a pity.

However, it doesn't matter much. If Li Fan doesn't participate, they still have a lot of articles to do.

The island country’s contest organizing committee and netizens think that China will appear here, which is not conducive to Li Fan’s public opinion pressure, because they do not know very well about Li Fan’s honor and status in China. .

With Li Fan's current honor and status, even if they ignore their invitation letter, there will hardly be any public criticism.

Of course, except for a small group of people who have ulterior motives. Although those people who have ulterior motives have always existed, it is difficult to make any trouble.
