Chapter 2 - It’S You! My Struggle!

The topic for the first round of competition was released.

Struggle!!!

When they saw these two words.

All the audience in the audience were immediately excited!

...

——"Struggle? Wow, this topic is so simple!"

——"Simple??? Are you okay, brother?"

——"That's right, this topic is so simple! Such a broad and mainstream topic is exactly the most difficult!"

——"That's right, since you started writing essays in elementary school, how many times have you written about struggle? You've written them all to pieces!"

——"The more mainstream it is, the harder it is to write a stunning work. The difficulty of this topic... is very high!"

——"How high?"

——"Higher than a four- or five-story building!"

——"Great! We Japanese people have worked hard and endured hardships. This kind of topic is simply not difficult for our Japanese contestants!"

——"That's right, didn't we have it before? Did you draw a topic of "passion" for the first time? Isn't this mainstream enough? Didn't our Japanese players draw masterpieces like "Slam Dunk" and win the championship in one fell swoop! "

--"The destiny is in Japan!"

--"Humph! We Americans are the best at writing about struggle! The world's number one overlord, no need to say more!"

--"Make America great! Again!!!"

--"Shit! Isn't this what our Dahan Ming Country is best at?"

--"Nonsense! It's obviously our Indians who are best at it!"

--"The Gallic rooster never knows what failure is, we are the best at struggle!"

--"..."

...

Because it is a global event.

So there are not only people from Long Country present.

There are also audiences from many other countries who have come from afar.

For a while.

Some are happy and some are sad.

Some feel difficult.

They are worried about the players in their own country.

And some are excited.

It just so happens that this is popular because of the cultural soil of their country!

...

"Struggle?"

"Director Jiang Wen has given our contestants a difficult question."

Maimaiti saw the note in Jiang Wen's hand.

He was also a little surprised.

...

As we all know.

This kind of competition is like writing a topic essay in school.

The more precise the topic.

The more accurate the scope of the restriction.

The more conducive it is to the contestants' creation.

And a topic like "struggle".

It is too broad.

It gives contestants too much creative freedom.

If you are not careful, you will go astray.

And the topic of "struggle" is a bit old-fashioned.

There have been too many classic literary works.

If you want to write something new...

It is extremely difficult!

...

Jiang Wen returned to his seat.

He picked up the microphone and nodded and commented.

"It is indeed a bit difficult."

"Struggle, this is a very popular creative field in the cultural field."

"And popularity means there are many classics."

"The contestants want to write eye-catching works in this field, which is a great test of their skills."

...

According to the usual procedures.

After the topic was revealed.

That's the brief comments from the guests.

...

After Jiang Wen.

Hayao Miyazaki also began to speak.

"I also agree with Director Jiang Wen's views."

"Let's not talk about anything else for now. As far as I know, Dragon Country has produced a lot of TV dramas about modern people's struggles in recent years, right?"

"But are there any particularly phenomenal works among them?"

"Not many, actually."

"It can be seen that people nowadays have become a little aesthetically fatigued with the theme of struggle."

"Our creators have also fallen into a bottleneck of lack of creation for this theme, and it is difficult to write something new."

...

After Hayao Miyazaki.

Little Leo also nodded in agreement.

"Not only Dragon Country, but also in our United States, it is actually a similar situation."

"There are very few classics in the field of struggle."

On the side.

Ms. Rowling smiled.

"Mr. Leonardo is modest. Your "The Wolf of Wall Street" is a classic among classics, and isn't it also a movie about struggle?"

Little Leo shrugged.

"But it's a work from 10 years ago, isn't it, Ms. Rowling."

...

Rowling smiled.

No more to say.

It's true as Leo said.

In the field of struggle.

The last popular literary work.

It dates back to 10 years ago.

...

While the host and guests were discussing the topic.

Fang Yuan and other contestants.

Also led by the staff.

Each went to their creation room.

...

Speaking of the creation room.

Here we have to mention the special structure of this studio.

...

The studio is very large.

After entering from the audience passages on both sides.

The first thing that comes into view is the thousands of seats arranged neatly.

In front of the audience seats.

There are four spacious guest seats.

Opposite the guest seats is the stage.

...

The focus is on the top of the stage.

The layers of honeycomb-like structures are 128 small rooms.

There are 8 floors in total.

There are 16 rooms on each floor.

The side of each small room facing the audience is one-way transparent glass.

The contestants cannot see outside.

But the audience below can see what is going on inside.

For 10 days.

All contestants will create in it.

...

"Fang Yuan, this is your creation room."

"In the next 10 days, if there are no special circumstances, please do not leave this room at will."

"If you need anything, you can always find us."

When they came to room numbered 111, the staff stopped.

"Thank you."

Seeing other contestants enter the room one after another, Fang Yuan also walked in.

...

The room is not big.

The size of an ordinary bedroom.

On the left side is a small bed.

There is a curtain that can be lowered to block the bed.

On the right is a small compartment separated from the outside - it should be a washroom and toilet.

Further forward.

is a desk.

There is a computer on it, as well as a desk lamp, ashtray, water cup and other sundries.

This is arranged according to Fang Yuan's writing habits.

...

"Struggle..."

"Struggle..."

"What kind of story should I write?"

10 days is not long, but not short.

Sitting down in front of the computer.

Fang Yuan casually pulled out a word document.

Then he began to think about how to solve the problem.

...

The room is well soundproofed.

Once the door is closed.

All external sounds are completely isolated.

It gives Fang Yuan the most familiar silence.

...

"Got it!"

Suddenly.

His eyes lit up.

He typed a few words in the document - "Chicken Feathers Flying to the Sky"!

...

Chicken Feathers Flying to the Sky.

This is a TV series that Fang Yuan liked very much in his previous life.

It is an urban business drama.

It tells the entrepreneurial story of the protagonist Chen Jianghe (Chicken Feather).

At the same time, from his perspective.

It depicts the 30-year reform and opening-up process of Yiwu, the world's small commodity capital, to the audience.

In a small way.

It tells the story of a small person's struggle and growth.

In a big way.

It uses the city of Yiwu as a window to show the turbulent 30 years of reform and opening-up in Longguo.

It has risen to the story of a country becoming rich and strong through struggle!

A certain rating of 8.1.

It is a rare masterpiece on the theme of struggle.

...

"Should I write it?"

I don't remember anything about this TV series.

That is to say.

Here.

It didn't appear.

It can be written completely!

...

After a moment,

He shook his head.

He gave up the idea.

"No, no."

"Although the quality of this drama is enough to advance, it is not enough to be amazing!"

Yes.

Amazing!

This is Fang Yuan's plan.

128 contestants.

64 people advanced in the first period.

If it was just an ordinary promotion.

Fang Yuan was not satisfied.

To put it in an unlucky way, what if he happens to encounter an unfamiliar proposition in the next round and is eliminated? There are 64 qualifiers, so many people, how can he be remembered by the audience?

...

So.

Fang Yuan's goal is not to advance safely.

But...

to become famous overnight!

In the first round of the competition.

To grab the limelight!

To attract the attention of the world!

...

So, what works can make him stand out and attract all the attention?

"Struggle..."

"Struggle..."

Fang Yuan muttered.

Suddenly!

A book title jumped into his mind!

That is -

"My Struggle!"
