The short story selection of Stars and Seas is coming to an end.

"Chameleon" has been ranked first for the first 48 hours, and readers voted for their favorite based on their first reaction.

Because tickets can be canceled.

Other well-known writers have used various marketing tactics to get their votes up.

Some use their own social platforms to distribute benefits and canvass votes.

Some draw draws directly, and the only certificate to qualify for the draw is to like the work and it must be a screenshot of the likes by the deadline. The draw will be after the competition ends.

What's more, they even held fan meetings directly to allow fans to vote in person.

Some writers are hired by cooperative companies, and the companies use various methods to canvass votes.

Therefore, "Chameleon"'s first place ranking only lasted for one day, and then it began to hover around third or fourth place.

The other five writers took turns taking the top two spots.

Six hours left until contest voting deadline...

Well-known writers are also actively doing business online.

Suddenly, a netizen posted a post on the Internet, and the post's influence continued to expand.

[Since the start of the Stars and Sea short story competition, all participating writers have tried their best to canvass votes, but there is only one missing person. Why didn’t he canvass for votes? Why did he bother to use a short story that was obviously the highest quality? It is the way a literati should do business to canvass votes. Should this be called the pride of a literati?】

As soon as the post came out, many people started to comment.

"Yes, Aimang is the only one who didn't canvass for votes."

“It seems like I don’t know anything about him anymore except seeing his name under the entries on the competition homepage.”

"I also checked his other short stories, and found zero information, nothing."

"He doesn't seem to have an online account on any platform, and he hasn't even posted his own voting link."

"I suddenly felt that I was sorry for Ai Mang. This is what a writer should be like. If the novel is well written, it is good. There is no need to do events to canvass for votes, or companies to canvass for votes."

"I'm going to join Aimang."

"I also fall in love with Mang."

"Ai Mang is standing up, but we cannot let real writers be buried. This is unfair to Ai Mang."

"Brothers and sisters, vote for love."

"I voted for Aimang anyway, it's up to you whether you want to or not."

"If I hadn't canvassed votes in the past two days, I might have thought that Aimang was just trying to establish himself, or that he was retreating in order to advance. But now the countdown has passed and there is no news from him. I'm sure that Aimang only cares about money. He is a real writer of shit, he just wants to bring good works to us, and we must support Aimang."

In this way, a wave of netizens' spontaneous canvassing activities for Aimang started online.

And the voices are getting louder and louder, the wave is getting stronger and stronger, and it is no longer under control.

Netizens who had previously wanted to participate in the lottery with other writers also switched sides and voted for "Chameleon".

The platform adopts this voting mechanism to leave enough suspense at the last minute.

As long as the difference in votes is not too big and the voting is not over, there will be suspense.

There are three hours and twenty-eight minutes left before the deadline.

Aimang's "Chameleon" has gone from third place to second place, and the number of votes continues to rise at an alarming rate, with a significant change every time it is refreshed.

"Have you seen the number of votes for "Chameleon"? It's already in second place. With this growth rate, it will soon catch up with the first place."

"There are three hours left, we still have a chance, go ahead, Jimeis."

"I've already invited the whole class to drink, just to win votes for Emang, so don't let anything slip at the last moment."

""Chameleon" changes."

"Although the increase is pretty good, we can't take it lightly. Who knows if other writers will have some trouble in the end. It's better to rise to the first place in the vote quickly and be far ahead so that you can rest easy. Don't be a rival, continue to canvass for votes, and continue to vote.

"

"Anyone who hasn't voted for Aimang's "Chameleon" should do so."

More and more netizens are joining the team canvassing votes for Aimang.

The more silent Ai Mang is, the stronger everyone's desire to protect Ai Mang is. Moreover, these votes were obtained by everyone little by little, which gives a full sense of accomplishment.

In just a few hours, Aimang support groups were spontaneously organized across all online platforms.

These groups are different from ordinary mindless star chasers. Readers who like to read short films and novels must at least have a certain degree of literary accomplishment and are not just mindlessly dancing around. They are of higher quality, more organized, and of course have stronger combat effectiveness.

At first, the other five writers did not take the spontaneous online canvassing for votes seriously, until the number of votes for "Chameleon" far exceeded the second place, almost approaching the first place, and they panicked.

For a time, some people spent money to buy hot searches, and some increased the rewards.

Now for these writers, it is no longer a matter of bonuses.

This is a lot of money, but reputation and face are much more important than money.

Well-known writers value winning awards more. The more nationally recognized the award, the more they want to win it. Only newcomers who have just entered the industry care more about money.

No one would have thought that the Stars and Sea short story selection, which originally relied on high bonuses as a gimmick, would actually rely on netizens to canvass votes for unknown short story writers to become hot searches on major platforms.

Yuedu Magazine was confused from top to bottom.

Everyone at the magazine has read six short stories.

Indeed the one with the highest quality is "Chameleon".

But everyone has been in the industry for a long time. Do we rely on our strength to win first place in every competition?

Since "Chameleon" fell to third place after 48 hours, everyone already knows that the first place may not necessarily go to who. The evaluation at this level is no longer just based on the work itself.

But who would have thought that in the end, Aimang would become the biggest publicity winner because he had not promoted it from beginning to end.

The power of netizens is amazing.

The editor in charge, Zhang Xiaochu, kept staring at the computer and refreshing the homepage.

"Editor-in-Chief, Ai Mang, "Chameleon" is number one." Zhang Xiaochu almost screamed.

Meng Haiyang put the coffee on the table in a hurry without drinking a single sip of the coffee he had brought to his mouth, and flew to the computer in a short step.

"It's a breakthrough, it's really a breakthrough."

"There are still fifty minutes before voting ends." Zhang Xiaochu glanced at the time nervously.

Lin Yu has been very busy these days, participating in activities at Little Mango Kindergarten, and then accompanying Zhou Zibo to sign a contract and audition. Except for his brain, this brother is pretty good at everything.

It wasn't until he saw Zhang Xiaochu's message that he remembered that he had participated in the short story selection of Stars and Seas, and the countdown to voting had started and the competition was about to end.

The changing time pulses on the homepage.

The countdown starts from the last 24 hours.
Chapter completed!
