night.
Yongning Village large entertainment group.
My sister suddenly forwarded a piece of news: "Let me tell you from a data perspective why Chu Kuang is destined to miss the selection of the Supreme God this year."
Then the elder sister Atlinyuan asked: "Is Chu Kuang really planning to attack the Supreme God this year?"
Lin Yuan raised his head and silently looked at his sister who was playing with her cell phone on the sofa.
Why ask in the group
Within the group.
Simple bubbling, Versailles:
"It's not good to be too famous. I've been so busy with work lately that I don't have time to read novels. Has the old thief Chu Kuang already started preparing to attack the Supreme God? Hasn't he only written three fantasy novels so far?"
Xia Fan ignored Jian Yi's boasting and said, "But Chu Kuang became a great writer with just three novels."
Jian Yi and Xia Fan like to read novels, so they are not unfamiliar with Chu Kuang.
Lin Yao doesn't read novels. Although she knows about the character Chu Kuang through her sister, she has no specific concept of him. She asked curiously:
“Is it amazing to become a great writer with three works?”
My sister explained: "I'm not too sure about Zhongzhou and Han, Zhao and Wei, but in the four continents of Qin, Qi, Chu and Yan, there are only four fantasy writers who have become supreme gods with just three works!"
Lin Yao: “That’s quite a lot.”
Sister: "Indeed, there are quite a few, but in terms of value, Chu Kuang ranks first, because Chu Kuang's three novels have very few words. Although the other three have only three works, the total number of words is too large, and the number of words in a single book is basically over three million."
This is also what makes Chu Kuang so magical to many people.
When other writers publish a popular book, they try to make it as long as possible.
But Chu Kuang's fantasy novels all have more than one million words, and the longest one, "Ghost Blows Out the Light", is only about two million words.
Lin Yao seemed to be very interested in Chu Kuang and asked again:
"What level do those four have to become the Supreme God?"
My sister said without hesitation: "Qin Qi and Chu Yan are the top fantasy writers. No one has ever reached the top with just four fantasy novels, so I also think Chu Kuang needs five novels!"
This is also the reason why the industry is not optimistic about Chu Kuang.
The three volumes of Conferred Gods are already a very impressive level.
Achieving supremacy in the fourth part
It's too difficult.
At least five, right
You have to buffer it.
This is based on the fact that everyone is optimistic about Chu Kuang.
That’s why some people say that if Chu Kuang’s new book wants to reach the pinnacle in the fantasy field, it has to be worth two.
Lin Yuan did not participate in the group discussion.
However, Lin Yuan agreed with these analyses.
He is indeed still some distance away from becoming the Supreme God.
Common sense would require two more fantasy novels to achieve success.
but…
If it is "Journey to the West", then common sense cannot be used to judge it.
Don’t say one is worth two.
If I compare myself with Monkey, even my previous three fantasy novels combined would not be enough!
Not to mention.
Compared with his previous three fantasy novels, "Journey to the West" is not only wonderful in storytelling, but its literary quality is also unquestionable.
This is a masterpiece of the era!
At a time when fantasy novels generally emphasize storytelling, a work that combines story and literary quality so well suddenly appears. Its influence is foreseeable!
But until the novel is written, these words are meaningless.
In the following days, Lin Yuan kept writing "Journey to the West".
Until mid-October.
Lin Yuan finally completed this masterpiece!
He sent both versions of the story directly to Kaneki.
Jin Mu smiled and said, "I will send it to the Silver Blue Library and the Literary Association later."
Lin Yuan was stunned: "Literary Association?"
Jinmu nodded: "Works that are competing for awards must be reported to the Literature and Art Association, because they need time to select."
"Um."
Lin Yuan had no objection.
Half an hour later, Jinmu sent it successfully.
…
Literary and Art Association.
The Fantasy Novel Management Department is holding a meeting at this time.
A fifty-year-old woman wearing glasses at the main seat spoke:
"The selection of this year's Great God has been basically finalized, and there should be no changes by the end of the year, but there is still one spot for the Supreme God that needs to be considered. We currently have three nominations."
Everyone was stunned.
"Three?"
"Aren't there two?"
"The demon boy and Ye Nan Ting Feng."
"Apart from the three people who have already been confirmed, these two have the best qualifications, so the fourth spot should be chosen from between these two."
"Three people, does that include Chu Kuang?"
"I am also optimistic about Chu Kuang, but Chu Kuang seems to be a little short of the standard."
"Although Chu Kuang will have another novel to be published at the end of the year, with such a huge gap, one novel may not be enough."
"… "
The leaders of the management department expressed their opinions.
The list of great masters and supreme leaders was discussed repeatedly in meetings.
The list of the Supreme Gods has also been basically determined.
For the fourth spot remaining, everyone has been wavering between Ye Nan Ting Feng and Mo Tong.
According to common sense, we still have to see what these two people's works are like at the end of the year to make a more accurate judgment.
As a result, at today's meeting, the leader actually said that there were three finalists...
The third person who suddenly appeared could only be Chu Kuang, who was about to release a new book.
The female leader wearing glasses said, "That's right, the third finalist is Chu Kuang. Don't rush to make conclusions. Since it is a fair selection, Chu Kuang, who has reached the threshold, should naturally be included. If his work at the end of the year is good enough, it may not be impossible to give him the fourth spot."
Good enough
Everyone laughed and then shook their heads.
The Literary and Art Association had already studied Chu Kuang's situation.
Was the "Ghost Blows Out the Light" back then good enough
But even if Chu Kuang can produce another work of "Ghost Blows Out the Light" level at the end of the year, Ye Nan Ting Feng and Mo Tong are still not more in line with the standards of the fourth supreme god!
However, the Literature and Art Association had a very good impression of Chu Kuang.
It is said that the big guys above are also very concerned about Chu Kuang, and have even praised him privately.
Therefore, no one said much.
Just at this moment.
An assistant appeared and whispered something in the bespectacled woman's ear.
The woman's eyes lit up and she smiled, "Chu Kuang just sent me the contents of his new book Journey to the West. Why don't we take a look at it first? If it doesn't work out, we can consider Mo Tong and Ye Nan Ting Feng this year."
"It's been sent?"
Upon hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement.
A few minutes later, the conference assistant came in with the manuscript.
When everyone saw the manuscript in their hands, they were stunned and asked, "Why are there two copies?"
"Confirm with the leaders that there are indeed two copies of Journey to the West."
The conference assistant explained: "Teacher Chu Kuang wrote two versions of the same story, one is the classical version, and the other is the popular version."
"oh?"
One leader was amused: "They say that if Chu Kuang wants to become the Supreme, he has to come up with two more fantasy novels. And he actually wrote two?"
A leader nearby shook his head: "But if it's the same story, then no matter how many copies there are, it's still one copy in the end."
Another person said: "I think it's quite interesting. It's not something that ordinary people can do to dare to write in classical Chinese. The talent of this Chu Kuang is indeed not to be underestimated."
"Let's take a look first."
The woman with glasses spoke first, and then took up the classical Chinese version first.
certainly.
Some people also start with the modern popular version.
Of course it’s not that I can’t understand classical Chinese, it’s just that my preferences are different.
For people in literary and art associations, there is no reading threshold for classical Chinese, let alone pure classical Chinese.
If you can't understand the classical Chinese version of "Journey to the West", you are just sitting there doing nothing.
We have to apologize to all the people of Blue Star.
