In the following days, "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils" flew further and further, from the plot to the meaning, the boundaries of discussion were constantly broadened, and finally everyone even talked about the background of the novel:
"Song Dynasty!"
"The old thief basically perfected this dynasty with four martial arts books. Everything seems so real. Even the details of the cultural background of the times were written by him. It feels similar to our Blue Star official history, but there are more differences. This is really amazing."
"I suddenly want to see the old thief write more stories about the Song Dynasty."
"Each of the four martial arts books mentions the court of the Song Dynasty. I am looking forward to the old thief writing this book with the Song Dynasty itself as the main subject."
"It's common to have a fabricated background, but it's unheard of to the extent of Lao Zei."
"The Song Dynasty, the Liao Dynasty, the Jin Dynasty, the Dali Dynasty, the Mongols, and all kinds of national-level wars are really interesting."
"Everyone should be thinking of the Han people of the Song Dynasty."
"Chu Kuang has created an extremely perfect historical background for these martial arts novels."
"I felt so immersed in the drama, as if our Blue Planet really had a period of history called the Song Dynasty."
The setting of The Legend of the Condor Heroes trilogy is in the Song Dynasty.
The background of the new book "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils" is still the Song Dynasty.
This has aroused strong interest in the Song Dynasty among countless readers.
Some people even called on Chu Kuang to continue to improve the Song Dynasty and even write a novel specifically about the Song Dynasty.
…
At home.
Of course Lin Yuan saw these discussions.
In fact, when Lin Yuan was writing the Condor Heroes trilogy, he knew:
The "fictional background" of the Song Dynasty will definitely attract the attention of some readers.
Considering the readers' expectations, I might really consider further improving the Song Dynasty's time framework.
No.
The pattern is small.
Not just the Song Dynasty.
Five thousand years on earth.
Apart from the period when the Blue Planet and the Earth were synchronized, there are many other eras that are worth writing about.
If readers are interested, I might consider writing the history of the earth in the form of a novel in the future.
certainly.
It must be in the form of a novel.
Because pure historical novels are too dry and the story is not strong enough, they have to use the perspective of one or several protagonists to lead readers into the history of the earth.
For example, do you want to write about the Three Kingdoms
Then we must use "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" as the main branch;
If you are writing about the Han Dynasty, you can also refer to the form of "The Emperor of Han Dynasty";
If you want to write about the Tang Dynasty, then it would be best to write something in the style of "Heroes of Sui and Tang Dynasties";
Even if the four martial arts novels have been constantly depicting the scenes of the Song Dynasty, you could also consider adding "Water Margin". You don't have to stick to the original text, but just use it as a main thread and make it as exciting as possible.
History of the Earth.
The history of China.
It’s wonderful in itself.
Is this the rhythm for me to write a "fictional version" of "Records of the Grand Historian"
Lin Yuan recorded these thoughts silently, his eyes bright. These were the future routes he could focus on.
…
Also in these days.
The time for updating the Blue Star Writers Ranking is getting closer.
Countless people are paying attention to who will win the ranking battle between Chu Kuang and Lu Yang.
Chu Kuang's new book is indeed more popular than Lu Yang's.
Judging from sales volume, Chu Kuang is already invincible.
However, Lu Yang's new book has received very high reviews. It belongs to a more traditional literary genre. For this type of work, sales are secondary, and word of mouth and literary value are the real focus.
This is not surprising.
Just like when it comes to novel sales and discussion, we all know that Rowling's Harry Potter series has unrivaled sales, but no one would think that Rowling is the best writer in the world. This is the same as the ranking of film directors cannot be based solely on box office, otherwise the ranking would be too superficial.
Five days.
Ten days.
Fifteen days.
Twenty days.
It’s finally the end of the month!
The ranking will be officially updated at midnight. The entire network is excited and waiting for the update of the writer rankings.
However.
When this month's list of writers was officially updated, the top 30 rankings did not change at all:
Chu Kuang is still ranked eleventh!
Luyang is still ranked twelfth!
The ranking competition between these two people seems to be in vain
But what’s interesting is that the names of the tenth, eleventh and twelfth on the list turned red at the same time!
also.
There is a similar situation at the bottom of the list, where occasionally a few names next to each other turn into red fonts.
Next to the list.
The Literary and Art Association made the following note in bold red: "In order to make the ranking of the list more complete and intuitive, our technical staff marked the names of some writers whose personal data are closest in red."
…
Crash!
Blue Star is hotly discussed across the Internet!
"Does the red name revision mean that the data is close?"
"Lu Yang lost this time. The old thief was originally the defending champion and successfully defended his ranking this time. However, the result of the duel between Lu Yang and Chu Kuang is a bit scary. The data of both of them is very close to the tenth place!?"
“Fuck!”
"The tenth place is Xu Ping!"
"As one of the top ten writers on the Blue Star list, although Old Xu is only a gatekeeper, his position in the literary world cannot be easily shaken. How much did Chu Kuang and Master Lu's personal data skyrocket after this duel?"
"It's so funny."
"The eleventh and twelfth place are fighting, and the worst-off is the tenth place. Now Old Xu has to publish a new book to consolidate his ranking!"
"So, Chu Kuang has a chance to make it into the top ten?!"
"Based on the speed at which the old thief writes books, I'm afraid he may be able to write another book this year. Then Old Xu will be in real danger!"
"I told you, Master Lu is really not weak!"
"If he changes his opponent this time, he will regain his ranking and even directly threaten Old Xu who is ranked tenth!"
"The problem is that although he is now number 12, he is already a threat to Old Xu!"
"The Art Association's notes explain that the three red names mean that the rankings of these three people are very close. In the next month, the rankings of the three people may change at any time!"
"It was agreed that there would be a civil war in Qinzhou, but in the end, it was Old Xu from Zhongzhou who got into trouble?"
"Chu Kuang and Master Lu are aiming at the top ten at the same time!"
…
Blue Star Writers Circle!
Countless people were shocked!
"Qin Zhou and the other two are really abnormal. It seems that their duel was a lonely one, but in fact, their rankings have been improved!"
"Even Old Xu can be threatened!"
“The top ten, that’s another world.”
“It’s said that the top thirty are the best, but the best of the best are still these top ten writers!”
"Qin Zhou is really the winner this time!"
"Hahahaha, my great Qinzhou is so great! Who knows, one day in the future, we will have two people in the top ten!"
"Old Xu is going to be furious now."
"Stimulate!"
“After being named as a red-listed writer, many writers panicked because many found that they were named as a red-listed writer along with writers with similar rankings.”
…
Qinzhou.
Seeing this result, Master Lu didn't know whether he should be happy or depressed.
Happy in:
After all, in terms of personal data growth, he barely tied with Chu Kuang, and even threatened his tenth place position.
Frustrated by:
Master Lu originally intended to attack the top ten with this wave, but in the end, let alone the top ten, he couldn't even get past Chu Kuang.
fear!
This Chu Kuang is very scary!
Lu Yang was shocked. Although he and Chu Kuang were temporarily behind the tenth place in the ranking, in his heart, the tenth place Xu Ping was not at the same level as Chu Kuang in terms of terror!
Lu Yang is confident that he can defeat Xu Ping.
However, he no longer had the confidence to surpass Chu Kuang.
Eleventh place or even tenth place might not be Chu Kuang's final destination. How could he be in the same continent with such a pervert
This leads directly to:
Even if he entered the top ten in the future, he would probably not be able to regain the title of number one in Qinzhou, because Chu Kuang's ranking might be higher!
Only after a fight can you test your opponent's strength.
Lu Yang also read Chu Kuang's new book, and even read his previous novels. The more he read, the more frightened he became. Many of this person's previous works were actually not inferior to "The Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils", and were even a level stronger!
…
Zhongzhou!
Several Central China writers who were in the top ten of the writers list were dumbfounded, and Xu Ping was even more confused!
"What's going on?"
"Did they poke Old Xu's ass?"
"Didn't Old Xu say a while ago that he could be a top ten goalkeeper? How come someone else has closed in on him so quickly?"
"I, Old Xu, am still stupid!"
"These two guys are just fighting, why did they set the fire on me?"
"no!"
“I have to publish a new book soon!”
"I thought I could be a top-10 goalkeeper for many more years!"
“How long will your new book take?”
"The earliest it will take is the first half of next year. I'm not a pervert like Chu Kuang who can write hundreds of thousands of words a month. My creative energy is so strong that it's scary!"
Xu Ping was really panicked!
He read the novels of Lu Yang and Chu Kuang!
Even he had to admit that these two people were indeed terrifying!
But he didn't expect that he, who was ranked in the top ten, would be unable to sit still so soon!
Fortunately, Lu Yang has just published a book, and the next one will be published at least next year. Although everyone's names have become famous, if nothing unexpected happens, the other party should not be able to re-hype the market in the short term.
As for Chu Kuang
The other party has published two novels in a row, the Harry Potter series and "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils". It would normally be necessary for the next book to be published next year, but this gives me some breathing time.
What
Chu Kuang writes books quickly
Xu Ping gritted his teeth!
No matter how fast Chu Kuang writes, can he write another new book within a month or two
…
At home.
Lin Yuan hasn't slept yet.
He also saw the ranking.
The result surprised Lin Yuan a little.
I thought I was still some distance away from the top ten. No matter how literary "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils" is, it is still a martial arts novel in the final analysis. I didn't expect that this wave would directly narrow the ranking with the top ten goalkeepers.
Yes.
This is Blue Star.
Eastern culture takes the lead.
Jin Yong's martial arts novels have limited influence on the West on Earth, but in a world like Blue Star where Eastern culture is the mainstream, they can sweep across all continents!
Therefore, my data soared.
Since everyone’s rankings are so close, as a patient with mild obsessive-compulsive disorder, Lin Yuan feels that he needs to publish a new book within the year and try before the last list update at the end of the year to get Chu Kuang into the top ten!
Don't be afraid of the short time.
You can write short stories.
Short stories don't take much work at all.
If a short story is written successfully, its influence is actually no less than that of some long novels, and can also attract global attention!
Just do it.
Even though it was midnight, Lin Yuan got up decisively to cultivate. The purpose of the Arts Association had been achieved. He even joked self-deprecatingly:
"Look at how I'm going to kill you."
