the next day.
studio.
Jin Mu looked at Lin Yuan: "If I'm not mistaken, Chu Kuang should be able to rush to the seventh place on the writer list next month."
Lin Yuan nodded.
Jinmu added: "After reaching the seventh place, there are still more than three months until the Spring Festival. You should be able to do something, right?"
“Write another book.”
Lin Yuan gave the same answer as his sister yesterday: "It's a work with strong literary qualities."
"The one with stronger literary qualities?"
Jin Mu thought about it and knew what Lin Yuan meant: "Because some people say that although you are the world's best-selling author, the commercial nature of your works is often much greater than the literary nature, so you want to write a work with stronger literary nature to prove yourself."
"Not really."
Lin Yuan smiled and said, "It will only be when the time comes."
Jin Mu understood immediately: "You mean that you kept writing bestsellers before because you had to rely on commercial content to attract readers. Now that you are famous, no matter what you write, it has the appeal to make readers read it patiently?"
Lin Yuan nodded.
Lin Yuan has been writing best-selling books in recent years and does not overly pursue the literary quality of his works.
Because Lin Yuan deeply understands the rules of the book market.
Works of high literary value are often not the best-selling ones.
It's just like the box office of commercial films can never be compared with that of art films.
Lin Yuan’s first goal in writing books in the early days was to make money.
As he aims to make money, he certainly won't write any literary masterpieces on Earth.
Although these literary masterpieces are excellent and can even help Chu Kuang gain an important position in the literary world, what about making money
It has to be commercial literature.
Haven’t you seen how many Ws Chu Kuang earned from the Harry Potter series
However, this does not mean that Lin Yuan has any objection to those literary classics.
Lin Yuan’s thoughts are actually very pure.
Literary classics must be written.
But before that, he had to use those best-selling books to make Chu Kuang famous.
When Chu Kuang becomes famous and earns enough money to spend, he will write some literary works.
At that time, even if readers do not have the patience to read works with higher literary value, many people will buy them for the sake of the pen name.
This is what is called "It's time" -
Chu Kuang is now the world's number one best-selling author!
No matter what book Chu Kuang writes, there will be countless readers willing to pay for it!
In this case.
The literary works written by Chu Kuang are definitely more popular than those written by any other writer on Blue Star!
"There's nothing wrong with your idea. No matter what you write now, readers will buy it unconditionally. This is all because you have been working hard in various novel fields for many years. However, I personally suggest that you write some short stories to test the waters. After all, this is your first time to create a novel with literary quality as the goal."
"Can."
Many works with strong literary qualities are less than one million words.
In Lin Yuan's opinion, a novel with less than two million words is not even a long novel.
What is a long article
At least three million or more.
Obviously, Lin Yuan’s concept of novel length is different from what ordinary people understand.
"Do you have an idea already?"
"Um."
"Have you thought of a title for the book?"
"The title of the book is Fortress Besieged."
"Besieged City, Why?"
"Marriage is like a besieged city. People outside want to get in, and people inside want to get out."
Kaneki was startled.
Suddenly I was deeply touched.
This is a divorced man.
That's right.
Lin Yuan wants to write Mr. Qian Zhongshu's "Fortress Besieged".
This book is absolutely famous in our country.
Putting aside Lin Yuan’s personal understanding of novels, Mr. Qian Zhongshu’s Fortress Besieged can be considered a novel in a broad sense, although its full text is only more than 200,000 words.
It only took Chu Kuang a few days to copy it.
But don't underestimate these more than 200,000 words.
Everyone should know the famous "The Scholars".
Qian Zhongshu's Fortress Besieged is a satirical novel with a unique style in the history of modern Chinese literature and is known as the "New Scholars".
The story mainly describes the group of intellectuals in the early days of the War of Resistance Against Japan.
As the saying goes, the first time is new, the second time is familiar. Chu Kuang is now becoming more and more familiar with writing the background of the earth.
Don't ask.
The question is just empty talk.
The readers of Blue Star have no problem with their comprehension ability. They are already accustomed to Chu Kuang Lao Zei's habit of making up the background of his novels. They will automatically fill in some of the background of Blue Star in their imaginations. After all, it is impossible for a planet to have not had some special moments in its development over so many years.
Talk about love.
Talk about marriage.
Readers will be surprised.
Chu Kuang, a best-selling author, actually started writing such a work one day.
…
"We had already crossed the Red Sea and were sailing on the Indian Ocean, but the sun was still relentless, setting late and rising early, occupying most of the night.
The night is like paper soaked in oil, becoming translucent;
It was embraced by the sun and could not leave it. Perhaps it was intoxicated by the sun, so the night after the sunset faded away was also rosy.
When Hongxiao woke up from his drunken stupor, the people sleeping in the cabin also woke up in a sweat. They took a shower and rushed to the deck to enjoy the sea breeze.
Another day begins.”
Business literature doesn’t describe the environment this way.
The literary quality of Mr. Qian Zhongshu's works can always be reflected between the lines.
Yes.
In the next few days, Lin Yuan kept writing "Fortress Besieged".
And after just a few days, the work was officially completed. It was really difficult for Lin Yuan to write a novel of 200,000 to 300,000 words.
at the same time.
September is officially over.
This evening in early October.
Blue Star’s major rankings have been updated.
Just as everyone expected and hoped for!
Chu Kuang’s ranking on the Writers List has reached seventh place in the world!
This moment.
The family is excited!
Voices such as "You are worthy of being my brother", "You are worthy of being my younger brother", "My son has the qualities of an emperor" and "Woof woof woof" were heard continuously in the house.
at the same time.
Hotly discussed across the entire Internet!
"Look at this old thief's rocket-like speed!"
"This wave is entirely due to The Three-Body Problem!"
"No problem, The Three-Body Problem is worth it!"
"Becoming the number one science fiction writer on Blue Planet only moved up one rank, which I feel is a little too little. The higher-ups place too much emphasis on literary quality."
"yes."
“The works ranked in the top few are of high literary quality, but their sales are really incomparable to Chu Kuang’s.”
“There’s nothing to complain about this.”
“Literary value is indeed a very important thing.”
"The writers who are ranked at the top are all worthy of our respect. Some of their works are now world-famous classics."
"It is said that the Literature and Art Association is also planning to promote Chu Kuang's Journey to the West as a classic."
"I've heard about it too. This book is considered Chu Kuang's biggest masterpiece so far. The IP development is also good, and Sun Wukong is a household name."
"Ha ha."
"Now Chu Kuang's ranking has completely surpassed Xian Yu."
"Xianyu's music and dance charts are both ranked eighth."
"It's so funny, take a closer look."
“Fuck!”
"What's going on?"
Accompanied by waves of exclamations, many people were shocked to find that Xianyu’s ranking on the music chart had actually changed!
