Kaneki opened his mouth.
In the end nothing was said.
But Kaneki's worries didn't completely go away.
In fact.
The safety that Jinmu is worried about is also a problem that many netizens who support Chu Kuang are worried about.
When everyone saw David's official announcement that the new book he would write to compete with Chu Kuang was actually the second half of "Legends of the Sea", someone on the Internet raised this question:
"Is this in accordance with the rules?"
"David is taking advantage of this comparison."
"Unless Chu Kuang releases a follow-up to "Shuke and Beta", this disadvantage can be remedied."
"yes."
"After all, David defeated Bai Jie, and the first part of his "Legend of the Sea" is already very famous."
"Because of the popularity of the first part, once "Legend of the Sea" is released, there will be many readers who will buy the second part without thinking just for the first part, even if the quality of the second part is lower."
"Just like if Chu Kuang published a follow-up story of "Shuke and Beta", I would definitely buy it."
"… "
Soon, some people from Yanzhou expressed their frustration:
"Literary fighting is a tradition that has arisen in Yanzhou. In the years since the tradition of literary fighting emerged, this is not the first time that similar situations have occurred. However, we in Yanzhou have not prohibited such situations. We just try not to do it."
In simple terms:
Although this practice is also controversial in Yanzhou, there is no clear regulation stating that it is not in line with the rules of literary fighting.
Also because this approach is controversial, basically no one in Yanzhou would try this trick, to avoid people saying that winning a fight by words is unfair.
But David was not from Yanzhou, so he had no such concerns.
Even if David did this, he could easily use the excuse that he had no prior knowledge of it.
In fact.
This is how the Koreans explained it:
"Wendou is a tradition of Yanzhou. We Koreans don't know much about it. I believe that Teacher David is the same."
"It's reasonable if it exists. Since there is no clear regulation that this practice is inappropriate, then there is no problem."
"Chu Kuang can also write follow-up stories to his other fairy tales."
“It’s impossible for the first and second parts to tell the same story, so they can be considered two novels.”
"Besides, the foundation of the first part of "Legend of the Sea" was laid by David himself."
"… "
It is said that the butt determines the head.
The Koreans are definitely on David's side.
However, although the Han people's explanation could not completely convince the public, even the people of Yanzhou, who invented literary fighting and were hoping that David would lose, could not blame David.
Who made it so that the Yan people themselves did not prohibit this practice in the literary competition project they initiated
But this undoubtedly casts a shadow on Chu Kuang's new book.
Neither of them has released any new works, but David has already taken the lead in this way.
“This is a very difficult matter.”
Some people were worried about Chu Kuang: "Although Chu Kuang's fairy tales are also very good, but as everyone knows, Chu Kuang is best at writing short fairy tales. His long fairy tale "Shuke and Beta" is indeed wonderful, but it is not necessarily higher than Bai Jie's level. David defeated Bai Jie and now has the upper hand in the rules."
Chu Kuang is the king of short fairy tales.
His long fairy tales are great, but after reading "Shuke and Beta", both the industry and ordinary readers think that Chu Kuang's long novels are not as good as his short stories.
This is also normal.
Chu Kuang's "Fairy Tale Town" includes many of the world's top short fairy tales and is the crystallization of the works of more than one fairy tale master.
They are all the essence of the world's top fairy tales.
No matter how great "Shuke and Beta" is, it is only the work of Mr. Zheng, and only one of his long fairy tales.
It is normal to have such an evaluation.
At this time, someone said optimistically:
"Maybe Mr. Chu Kuang's fairy tale is really the sequel to "Shuke and Beta"?"
This made some people feel a little relieved.
If it is a sequel to "Shuke and Beta", then there is still something to play, as the foundation of the previous work is equally huge!
It can compete with the second half of "Legend of the Sea"!
At this time, only Kaneki knew that there was no sequel to "Shuke and Beta".
Chu Kuang’s new fairy tale, titled “Alice in Wonderland”, is a brand new fairy tale.
This is not a secret and does not need to be kept until the end.
so…
A few days later, the Silver and Blue Books communicated with Kaneki on the phone and took the opportunity to disclose the news of Chu Kuang's new fairy tale, which was considered as an advance publicity.
"The new Chu Kuang fairy tale "Alice in Wonderland" has a release date to be determined, so stay tuned!"
The Internet suddenly became lively.
Chu Kuang’s new fairy tale is called “Alice in Wonderland”!
This is not the follow-up story of "Shuke and Beta" that some people expected!
David still got the upper hand!
Chu Kuang is still at an inherent disadvantage!
At this time.
Suddenly someone felt that the three words "Alice" in the title of "Alice in Wonderland" sounded familiar.
Someone responded:
"Fuck, this Alice couldn't be the Alice mentioned in the song "Fairy Tale Town" by Xianyu?"
The song "Fairy Tale Town"
Many people immediately thought of the lyrics of this song!
Many people can sing this song.
Everyone remembers the lyrics very clearly.
There is indeed a line in it that goes "I heard the Mad Hatter likes Alice."
When this song was first released, Chu Kuang publicly stated: "The stranger characters mentioned in the song of the same name in "Fairy Tale Town" will appear in my other fairy tale works in the future."
This is indeed the case.
After publishing "Fairy Tale Town", Chu Kuang wrote a long fairy tale novel for the first time, and he wrote about Shuke and Beta in the lyrics.
And now.
Alice mentioned in the lyrics is also about to appear!
Someone dug up Chu Kuang's original post and was suddenly filled with emotion:
"Chu Kuang is really amazing. It turns out that he already had the idea of creating Alice in Wonderland at that time."
"There seems to be some reference to Harry Potter in the lyrics?"
"And Peter Pan, the name mentioned in that song left a deep impression on me. I don't know why, maybe I just thought it was a funny name."
"I remember there was Pinocchio and something."
"Yeah, and the Little Prince and stuff like that."
“There are many.”
"At the time, many netizens said that the names in the lyrics were a pitfall."
"It seems that Chu Kuang still has many fairy tales to publish."
"This Alice in Wonderland is a work that fills the gap."
"It's just like the lyrics of the song 'Shuke and Beta'."
"The Mad Hatter loves Alice. This line in the lyrics indicates that the Mad Hatter will also appear in his new book."
"… "
For a time, many people lamented the horror of Chu Kuang.
Starting from "Shuke and Beta".
Then to the promotion of "Alice in Wonderland".
The two consecutive correspondences between lyrics and characters verified what he said at the beginning!
From Shuke and Beta, and from Mad Hatter to Alice...
The characters in that song did indeed begin to appear one after another.
As early as last year, or even earlier, Chu Kuang had already built a fairy-tale blueprint for his future!
Someone counted them carefully and couldn't help but take a breath:
Chu Kuang had announced information about six fairy tale works in advance!
Let me ask you this:
How many writers in the entire Blue Planet dare to use a song to preview information about their many future works
The answer is, not many!
Currently, the only person doing this is Chu Kuang!
Many writers don’t even know what their next work will look like.
after all…
No one can predict when inspiration will come.
But Chu Kuang did just that!
Not only did he preview six fairy tales in advance, he also released the works he previewed one by one!
One part has already been moved out, and the second part is ready to go!
This is enough to prove that Chu Kuang’s original prediction was not groundless!
"If some of them were short stories, it would be fine. Short stories are not that difficult to conceive. I don't think all six of them would be long stories. If they were all long stories, it would be a bit abnormal."
Someone spoke uncertainly.
At this time.
Silver Blue Library seemed to have noticed the discussion among netizens, and the official microblog of the tribe even updated the status again:
"I just had a conversation with Mr. Chu Kuang's agent. The strange characters mentioned in the song "Fairy Tale Town" are all from his future fairy tales, including a long novel of several million words!"
Netizens: Σ(°△°|||)︴!!!
There really is a fairy tale universe in Chu Kuang’s brain!
————
ps: This is the reason why I changed a few lines of the lyrics of "Fairy Tale Town". I wanted to make a sense of foreshadowing the six future fairy tales. When all six fairy tales are released, and each one is a classic masterpiece in fairy tales, it will be interesting for people to review this song. I'll call it a day today and ask for monthly tickets as usual~
