Thinking about this question, Lin Yuan subconsciously logged into Chu Kuang's blog account.
Beep beep beep.
The blog background messages kept ringing.
Lin Yuan has become accustomed to it. His several accounts receive countless private messages every day.
Not just private messages.
Many people will tag themselves every day.
This is not.
Right now, someone is tagging himself:
I have long admired @楚狂师's science fiction work "The Wandering Earth". Today I spent a few hours reading it in one go. I deeply admire Chu Kuang's science fiction level. I can't help but want to make friends through literature. I invited Chu Kuang to a literary duet about my new science fiction book.
This is a Qizhou science fiction writer.
His name is Duanwu, and he seems to have a lot of fans.
Normally, when he saw this kind of tag Lin Yuan would just glance over and move on. After all, there were too many people who tagged him in a similar format.
However, when Lin Yuan saw this news today, he was moved.
Huh
Science fiction
This person reminded Lin Yuan.
Chu Kuang’s new book can be about science fiction.
In comparison.
There is not much room for choice in fairy tale themes;
There is not much room for choice in fantasy themes;
As for martial arts, Jin Yong's martial arts novels are almost plucked out by Lin Yuan;
As for reasoning, Chu Kuang is basically invincible in this area;
Science fiction doesn't have this problem.
First of all, science fiction has a large enough base and is one of the most popular novel genres on the blue planet.
Secondly, Chu Kuang has fewer science fiction novels, so he has more room to choose and develop than other subjects.
OK!
That's it!
After deciding on the type of subject matter, the rest of the work became much easier. It was nothing more than choosing a specific work: "How about just picking out Liu Cixin's The Three-Body Problem series?"
All right.
Not quite appropriate.
The Three-Body series is the pinnacle of Liu Cixin's science fiction.
Not to mention that the article is too long and not suitable for serialization online.
Even if this can be done forcibly, the shock of Liu Cixin's other works will be reduced once this work is released.
Besides.
In fact, the characters and logic in "The Three-Body Problem" had already been foreshadowed in Liu Cixin's other early works.
If readers want to fully understand the stories and ideas of the Three-Body series, it is actually necessary to read Liu Cixin's previous works as well.
Thinking so.
Lin Yuan had a direction.
Let me first write about Liu Cixin’s other works. This science fiction master has quite a few excellent short and medium-length works.
For example, "The Wandering Earth", which was previously released by Lin Yuan, is one of Liu Cixin's works.
This time you can start with "Rural Teacher"!
This is a relatively entry-level work among Liu Cixin's science fiction works. The reading threshold is very low, but the quality is relatively good.
Thinking like this.
Lin Yuan's cell phone suddenly rang. It was Jinmu calling.
"Uncle Jin."
"Now that so many celebrities from Qinzhou have been pulled here, it's time for Chu Kuang or Yingzi to take action next, right?"
"Chu Kuang is preparing a new book."
"So fast? Then let me make a suggestion. If it's not convenient to operate, forget it."
"What suggestions?"
"For example, isn't Chu Kuang going to write a new book? You can create some hype for the new book, so that it can attract more people."
"A gimmick?"
"I don't know what the specific gimmicks are in the new book. You have to figure that out for yourself."
"Understood!"
"Do you really understand?"
"You mean to make news, preferably big news!"
"Making big news? You're right..."
"That's it."
Jinmu seemed to want to say something, but Lin Yuan, who wanted to make sure he understood, hung up the phone.
Just a gimmick.
It’s easy to understand.
What social platforms value most is public opinion.
As long as Chu Kuang's new book turns blogs into a main platform for public opinion, that will be enough.
As for how to create this public opinion platform
Lin Yuan smiled and looked at the science fiction writer who had tagged him in the blog and wanted to have a literary duel with Chu Kuang.
Literary fight!
The name of the Dragon Boat Festival reminds me.
Literary competition was once a fine tradition carried forward in the Yanzhou literary world.
After Yanzhou joined Bluestar and merged, this tradition of literary competition has been carried forward all over the world!
And it's not even just the literary world.
All major art fields like to use this form of literary competition to determine the winner.
Especially after the rankings of various fields on Blue Star came out, people in various fields became more enthusiastic about literary competitions.
Because this is the easiest way to improve one's personal ranking, not to mention the hype factor that comes naturally with literary competitions.
As long as both parties in the literary debate are famous enough.
The news generated by both parties will definitely be extremely hot!
after all.
Who doesn't like watching a fight
It just so happened that Lin Yuan was no stranger to literary battles. He had engaged in literary battles with other writers more than once, and the public opinion effect was indeed outstanding.
That being the case.
For the sake of Jinmu's so-called gimmick and to make the blog the main venue for public opinion on Blue Planet, why not have another round of literary battles
I am such a clever kid.
Lin Yuan smiled and clicked on the comment section of the post that tagged his own science fiction writer, Duan Wuming.
…
Comment section for Dragon Boat Festival famous account.
"Another writer who took the initiative to challenge the old thief to a literary duel."
"Teacher Duanwu, please give up."
"The old thief won't respond to such an invitation to a literary duel."
"Every now and then, someone from Blue Star would challenge Chu Kuangwen to a fight, but I've never seen him respond. Even though Teacher Duanwu is a science fiction leader in Qizhou, I guess the old thief won't pay any attention to him."
"Is the old thief afraid of losing?"
"It's definitely not that the old thief is afraid of losing the literary duel. The main reason is that there are too many people from all continents of Blue Star who have invited him to literary duels. If he accepts all of them, he won't even be able to write a book a day to fight. The sheer exhaustion alone will tire him to death."
"Hasn't someone counted it before?"
"Old thief Chu Kuang is the writer on Blue Star who has received the most invitations to literary competitions!"
“Hahahahaha, the main reason is that the old thief is so hated. Everyone knows that if you beat the old thief once, even if it’s just luck, you can get the attention of netizens all over the world, which is equivalent to a wave of promotion. The writer’s ranking will definitely soar!”
"It's not a loss even if I lose."
"Whether I win or lose in a literary duel with the old thief, my fame will soar, and my work will receive huge attention!"
"Some writers even pinned their invitations to compete with Lao Zei for a long time, including some big-name writers in various fields. However, it was useless. However, they themselves gained a lot of attention because of it. After all, they got some popularity?"
"But the most people have invited Lin Yuan to a literary duel with science fiction writers."
"Why?"
"Because the old thief is too invincible in the fields of mystery novels, martial arts novels, and fairy tales, the literary duel is equivalent to a smuggling. The only difference is that although the old thief is strong in science fiction, he is definitely not to the extent of crushing others."
"No wonder most science fiction writers challenge him to a literary duel!"
"There is no hope of winning in other fields, but it is possible to win against the old thief in science fiction. Once he wins, it will be a blast. You know, the old thief has fought against humanities before, and his current winning rate is 100%!"
…
Lin Yuan looked at these comments with a somewhat strange expression.
Hey.
It turns out that I am so popular among literary lovers
Although someone would tag him every now and then and want to engage in a literary duel, Lin Yuan usually didn't pay much attention to it.
This means that Chu Kuang is still a popular person.
Lin Yuan became happy.
Isn’t this the big news I’m looking for
OK!
Then I will grant your wish!
By the way, this Duanwu name seems to be quite famous. Is he a big shot in the science fiction world of Qizhou
Crackling.
Tap the keyboard rapidly.
Lin Yuan directly replied in the comment section of Duanwu:
"OK."
The comment section was suddenly shocked!
Chu Kuang's name is too conspicuous!
All passers-by recognized it at the first sight!
Fans of Duanwu Ming were instantly excited:
"What the hell?"
"This is actually the real me!?"
“I almost thought it was an imposter until I clicked on his homepage!”
"What an old thief!"
"You old thief accepted Mr. Duanmu's invitation to a literary duel!?"
“Ouch!”
"Congratulations to Duanwu for being on the hot search list!"
"Teacher Duanwu, congratulations!"
"Come on, Teacher Duanwu. You haven't fought with humanities for many years. You must seize the opportunity. If you miss this opportunity, you will never get it again!"
“Big news!”
"The old thief Chu Kuang wants to fight Duan Wu Ming Wen!"
Excited.
Some netizens took screenshots.
Soon the news spread all over the Internet.
At that time.
Duan Wuming was having a party with a few friends in the circle, and a group of people were hugging girls in a daze.
Sudden.
One of the friends suddenly jumped up with his phone in hand: "Duanwu, you've been picked by the old thief!"
"What?"
Duan Wuming was originally a little tipsy and was discussing life with the girl in his arms, but he sobered up after hearing the words!
Other friends also looked at their phones:
"Depend on!"
“It’s true!”
“He responded in your comment section!”
"Congratulations!"
"You're so lucky!"
"If we win this wave, we'll take off immediately!"
"Old Chu Kuang is amazing. He is great at writing anything, but he doesn't have overwhelming strength in science fiction!"
"Yes, Chu Kuang's best work is The Martian."
"That novel is excellent, but compared to the top science fiction writers, it's just okay."
He agreed!
Duan Wuming pushed the girl in his arms away.
The girl who was pushed away by Duanwu Ming was completely confused.
So these people are writers? It turns out that all writers are bad people. Their hands were touching everywhere just now.
But just now they seemed to be discussing the old thief Chu Kuang
I have never heard of the famous girl Duanwu, but I know the old thief Chu Kuang very well!
At this time.
Duanwu Ming turned and left.
Friends were anxious: "Where are you going?"
Duan Wuming was also anxious: "I'm going to write a new book!"
Friends were dumbfounded: "You challenged Chu Kuang, and you haven't finished writing your new book yet?"
Duan Wuming cried, "How could I have known that he would accept my invitation to compete with me in writing? There were so many people on the Internet looking for him to compete with me in writing, and I just followed him to join in the fun. I never thought that he would accept the challenge, but he actually agreed to it! Fortunately, I have a new book that I have already written halfway, so I should be able to catch up in time."
The friends looked at each other.
It was not until Duanwu Ming walked away that his friends suddenly came to their senses!
wipe!
This guy said he would treat us today, but he just left without saying anything. So who will pay for it today
But the girl who was just pushed away by Duan Wuming suddenly said:
"Are you writers? Did he just have a literary duel with Chu Kuang? Can you tell him for me that he must do his best to defeat Chu Kuang? I am a die-hard fan of Chu Kuang..."
Um.
Big fan.
Of course Lin Yuan didn’t know that his reply directly ruined Duanwu’s pink night.
He had other things to do.
It seemed like Chu Kuang was fighting against nine people at the beginning, like in a fairy tale.
Then this time we need to gather at least nine opponents to engage in a literary duel. What's the point of fighting only with Duan Wuming
Uncle Jin said it all!
New books need to have a gimmick!
The gimmick of the Dragon Boat Festival name is not big enough. I must make a big news with this wave, otherwise wouldn’t Xianyu take all the credit
Make trouble, make trouble, make trouble!
However, the number of writers who want to engage in a literary duel with Chu Kuang Lao Zei is indeed a bit outrageous. Lin Yuan just did a random search on the blog.
Good job.
A large number of big-name writers’ names are listed directly from top to bottom, from all continents, and most of them are science fiction writers!
