Chapter 232 Book Fans Riot Season 1
Lin Tiange just turned 20 this year and is a sophomore in history majoring in a prestigious university in Southwest.
Lin Tiange wears a pair of thick glasses, quiet and gentle. Whether in the class or in the dormitory, his presence is infinitely close to zero. When he goes to dinner with classmates or roommates, when calculating the number of people, others often have a sudden realization like "Oh by the way, Lin Tiange".
Of course, a low sense of existence does not mean that he is a little transparent person who can be ignored. In fact, as early as when he entered the school, he began to serve as a publicity committee member of the class and won the first prize in the school's hand-written newspaper competition in the second semester of the freshman year. At the same time, he was also the only class committee member to be re-elected in the sophomore class committee change, and was ridiculed by his classmates as "re-election brother".
Re-Enterprise is not a top student, but he has the same hobbies as a top student - to go to a library. At this point, he is even more crazy than the top student. As long as he doesn't have classes, he basically spends his time in the library. He can stay in the library all day with bread and water on weekends.
If everyone has something to come to him, there is no need to call him or ask his roommate, just go to the library to find someone. Therefore, "Lin Tiange is in the library" has also become an important symbol of him.
However, Lin Tiange went to the library not just to read books. Sometimes he would write things. In a quiet corner of the library, he took out a thick notebook and a pen and wrote for half a day.
Some of these words can appear in the catalogues of certain newspapers and magazines, while the fate of most words is that the notebook is locked on the bottom floor of the dormitory drawer together.
"The Pharmacist in Qingyu" was completed in the library, and this is another source.
As one of the earliest readers of Gu Yongsheng, Lin Tiange began to pay attention to this form of writing that combines history and martial arts to write novels since "The Dragon and Tiger Fight against Jinghua". He also imitated and wrote several articles to "The Great Rivers and Lakes" and some other youth magazines. However, in the end, they were all over the sea.
At that time, Gu Yongsheng was rising strongly, and even famous writers such as Beihetang, Duan Dao, and Qinse were beaten to no avail, let alone a newcomer who imitated them.
Of course, Lin Tiange had resentment. He once thought that he was not satisfied with his talent. This kind of failure was because Gu Yongsheng occupied too many propaganda resources of the same type. He once published commentary articles in the school newspaper, criticizing the hype model of "The Great Jianghu", Qianhong and Gu Yongsheng, believing that this propaganda model of "all resources are destroyed by one person" is a way out of his own way for martial arts novels. It is harmful to the development of the entire subject.
Later, Gu Yongsheng was rumored to start writing online articles. Lin Tiange once felt that he was really a prediction from God. As a result, before the summary article was finished, Gu Yongsheng had already started serializing "Book and Sword".
At this point, Lin Tiange finally realized that his resentment was ultimately due to his jealousy towards Gu Yongsheng. After adjusting his mentality, he wrote this new magazine "The Medicine Master of Qingyu" submitted to Gu Yongsheng, "The Record of the Craftsman".
Lin Tiange, who loves reading, has a good judgment on literature. The so-called reading a hundred times will reveal its meaning. This ancient saying is by no means casual. Therefore, as soon as this short story was completed, he vaguely felt that he could reach the eyes of ancient medieval students.
As expected. After just one week, the editor Tiandao Youchang left a message to himself: "The manuscript "Qingyu Pharmacist" has passed the editor-in-chief review and is ready to be hired."
After receiving this news, Lin Tiange was having a meal in the cafeteria. After confirming, he jumped up from the chair and shouted: "It's successful!" The joy was even more than receiving a university notice.
What happened next made him even more excited. After replying to the editor’s message, the news came immediately, saying that the editor-in-chief Gu Yongsheng personally told him to focus on cultivating the author of “Tails in the Sky” and to make him ready to change “The Pharmacist in the Qingyu” into a long piece.
Gu Yongsheng personally explained?
Focus on training?
Change to a long article?
Publish a novel?
These thoughts came one after another in his mind, causing him to dance almost.
"This Gu Yongsheng is really wise. It seems that I underestimated him before..."
Then Gu Yongsheng recommended his new book on his personal Weibo account, and this encouragement is worth a thousand yuan!
As early as when Gu Yongsheng announced his work in a magazine, he began to pay attention to relevant news. He knew what a lineup of the first issue of "Jianglu". In addition to Gu Yongsheng's two serials, there were also top best-selling writers like Han Shuo and Yi Shui'an. He was a newcomer and was very satisfied that he could appear in a magazine with these famous figures at the same time. He had exceeded expectations. As a result, Gu Yongsheng actually recommended his works personally.
The joy of having difficulty falling asleep and the excitement of laughing when eating and walking.
"I finally waited for this day! I finally did it! It's finally here!"
After ecstasy, he naturally felt ashamed. He never thought that the person he had written and attacked was the one he was most grateful to now. He wrote in his diary that day:
"Gu Yongsheng, a writer destined to be a great one, has become my mentor now. If a person can achieve both writing and editing, then I can only call him a god. Gu Yongsheng can afford the title of "Ancient God". In addition to seeing the value of my novel, he also told me one thing: There is no real talent in this world that is not appreciated. As long as he is really talented, he will always wait for that opportunity. Here, I want to apologize for the previous remarks criticizing the Ancient God. From beginning to end, he has always been the person I want to thank!
I will always remember this day!”
Afterwards, Lin Tiange received the most expensive royalties in his life, but after experiencing Gu Yongsheng's micro blog, he was much calmer. He first called his parents to report the news and told them that the tuition fees for the next year's book had been resolved, and then he bought a new piece of clothing and a pair of new shoes.
After the release of the first issue of "Jianglu", the towers in the sky indeed attracted the attention of many people, and Lin Tiange also truly felt the influence of Gu Yongsheng.
Of course, things could not have been going smoothly. After receiving the request of Tiandao to "write long articles" by frequently editing, Lin Tiange has been making relevant preparations, but the few openings and outlines handed over were rejected.
"The book is written for readers, not to please the editor or editor-in-chief. Think about it again."
This is the most severe reply from Tiandao Youchang, which made Lin Tiange feel cold. However, then Tiandao Youchang conveyed a sentence from Gu Yongsheng: "You have rich historical knowledge and detailed common sense, but remember that history is just a nail to a novel and cannot become a condom that limits your hands and feet. You must let go of your hands and feet and be fully confident in the world you construct."
This sentence made Lin Tiange suddenly enlightened. Gu Yongsheng said it right. During the writing process, he was always confined to facts and shrank his hands. He lacked enough confidence in the characters he created and even the protagonist. He felt that there was no such person in history, and that he did not participate in this historical event. He often began to doubt himself as he wrote it. He felt that he was talking nonsense.
The most taboo thing when writing articles is to be without confidence.
Novels are fictional craftsmanship. As long as they can make sense in artistic logic, the story itself can be self-consistent and does not have to follow the facts completely. Lin Tiange read countless books and naturally understood this truth. It was just a matter of combining theory with practice. He seemed relatively unfamiliar, and he might not be 100% convinced by those theories. At this time, Gu Yongsheng reminded him that he was enlightened.
After all, Gu Yongsheng had full voice in this regard.
Lin Tiange, who already has a certain talent and has a rich accumulation, can be said to be able to understand it at a glance. The new outline and the new opening chapter he has drawn up are indeed much bolder and more unrestrained. The highlights in the short story come back one by one.
The magazine responded quickly: "Serialize first, then publish it."
...
Chang Youdao told Lin Tiange that the magazine should focus on cultivating him, not polite words between editors and authors. The new "Jianglu" can cultivate a representative newcomer and greatly stimulate the enthusiasm of other writers.
In order to make way for Lin Tiange, Gu Yongsheng decided to stop the serialization of "The Book and Sword of Revenge" after the third issue and prepare to publish it. In addition to making room for Lin Tiange, Gu Yongsheng also insisted on shortening the serialization as much as possible, which not only allowed readers to spend less money, but also allowed them to see the complete story as soon as possible.
In this regard, Gu Yongsheng has almost acclaimed reputation in the industry.
Posting a book after serialization is equivalent to earning readers double money. As a top best-selling author, this kind of choice can be achieved, which shows the maintenance of readers.
Gu Yongsheng announced that he would soon launch the entire book "The Book and Sword of Revenge", which is undoubtedly another big news in the publishing industry. It will inevitably disrupt the plans of some publishing houses. Those companies that decided to promote their authors' new books at the same time said that they would make the last round of revisions and make a slight adjustment in time.
The first part of Xue Muliang's five-part "The Paper Windmill" almost became cannon fodder. Dingshi Culture and Yellow River Literature and Art have basically been set for release time. As a result, Gu Yongsheng suddenly came with such news, which made Xue Muliang a little embarrassed and embarrassed.
Needless to say, the embarrassment is because if you choose to avoid it, your face will not be put aside. If you don’t choose to avoid it, your face may be even more difficult.
Xue Muliang is very familiar with this situation, but he was in the position of Gu Yongsheng before.
If you retreat, you will naturally not say it out loud. You can only temporarily and ambiguously not announce the specific date and use "recent" instead.
...
It is similar to the previous time when I published a book, the listing of "The Book and Sword of Revenge" once again caused a whirlwind among readers, but what everyone did not expect was that this time it was not the novel that created a sales miracle, but Gu Yongsheng completely aroused the readers' anger!
"Huo Qingtong failed to get married with Chen Jialuo!"
"Chen Jialuo gave his beloved Princess Xiangxiang to the unbearable Emperor Qianlong!"
"Princess Xiangxiang died in the end!!!"
The first reader who read the book completely spoiled the ending with great sorrow and anger and a storm. After that, he did not make any specific book reviews, leaving a sentence: "This book has been burned, and I will never read Gu Yongsheng again!"
Other readers who had read the novel came to leave messages, expressing their dissatisfaction with Gu Yongsheng with hatred.
"It's simply unbearable! From "Seven Swords Under the Tianshan Mountain" to now, Gu Yongsheng has been challenging the readers' bottom line. Now the cuckold has appeared. What's your mentality?"
"I don't care whether Princess Xiangxiang dies or not. I don't care whether Chen Jialuo cuckolds or not, but I want to ask, what's wrong with Huo Qingtong? Is Chen Jialuo a secondary school or a brainless person? Or do you really think we won't give up on you? I think this is no longer a simple novel plot requirement, but a complete teasing of our readers by the author Gu Yongsheng!"
"Seven Swords, White Hair, Sea of Clouds, White Horse, Yue Girl to today's "Book Sword", I always thought Gu Yongsheng would care about the feelings of our readers, even once, but the facts proved that I was too self-righteous. I saw martial arts for passion, to find stories that made me passionate, not to find abuse, forget it, please continue your performance, I will forgive me for not being with you."
"Gu Yongsheng compiled first-class stories, but wrote about the true and ultimate truth of the relationship. Not to mention the novels that were abused for the sake of abuse, even another group of "Xiao Shiyilang" and "The Legend of Chu Liuxiang" did not give everyone a complete love story. What does this mean? It means that Gu Yongsheng doesn't know how to write about emotions at all."
