Chapter 218: The new finale of "Zhu Xian".
After washing up, Du Caige was not in a hurry to call back.
He first went to the post bar and went to the fan group to read the comments of book friends.
Because "Immortals", which was serialized in the founding Chinese version, is basically in a state of suspension, readers have long been looking forward to the ending.
This time, there are many readers who are shy in their pockets and only bought the 5th volume alone, wanting to get a sneak peek of the ending.
The ending of the original "Zhu Xian" on Earth has always been criticized, and this time Du Caige made a lot of changes, and then asked the senior editors of Xinya Publishing House to revise and polish it.
Most of the characters have been given an explanation.
And Zhang Xiaofan's ending, although he was still not with Lu Xueqi, nor did he resurrect Baguio, but he gave a fairly open-ended ending.
Didn't use the original one" The two just stood still, staring at each other. How many years, the sorrow of the world, are in this deep glance. Then, they laughed at the same time. ”
The original version is simply foolish to write like this. It's too sloppy.
Du Caige's new version is written like this: After Lu Xueqi took over the first seat of Dazhu Peak, he thought about it one day, traveled down the mountain, and in Heyang City, his heart suddenly moved, and he walked into an antique shop. Met Zhang Xiaofan by chance.
saw Zhang Xiaofan sitting behind the counter, sleepy-eyed, shaking and shaking, as if he was dozing off.
A gray monkey jumps around on his back, and a big yellow dog sticks out its tongue at his feet.
After Lu Xueqi approached, he glanced up, his expression was calm and peaceful, like a little person who had just come out for a walk after eating, and nodded to his neighbors calmly.
Lu Xueqi looked at him for a long time, and suddenly smiled, like flowers blooming on the snow, "You are very different from what I have imagined over the years." Still, that's fine. ”
Zhang Xiaofan threw away the gray monkey who was mischievous on his back, and said lazily: "Recently, I have been cultivating, and I suddenly understood some truths. Looking back at my past self, I am actually a little biased. ”
"Why are you cultivating?" asked Lu Xueqi.
"There are no words in the book of heaven. Therefore, cultivation is just to trace back to the roots and return to the beginning. What do you think?"
Lu Xueqi's heart trembled. After being silent for a long time, he asked softly: "Your Tao is quite interesting, I want to discuss it with you." ”
"But I want to look at the store. ”
"I'll help you look at the store, and you will accompany me to talk. ”
Zhang Xiaofan glanced at her, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, and did not refuse.
Lu Xueqi asked, "Is there any room in the back?"
Zhang Xiaofan was lazy again, "Yes." ”
Lu Xueqi took the sword and walked inside.
Zhang Xiaofan looked at the street outside, pedestrians were weaving, and the traffic was busy.
In the hustle and bustle, there seemed to be the sound of bells floating by, mixed with the woman's casual chuckle.
It seems to have a gaze, affectionate veins, but when he goes to capture it, there is nothing.
Zhang Xiaofan's smile remained unchanged, bent down and touched Rhubarb's head, and said softly: "Famous mountains and rivers, layers of mountains and green, white practice purple smoke." After all, it can't compare to this soft red ten-zhang, smoky world. ”
......
He peeked at the screen for a while, because many book fans have entered the right, so now there are many people in the book friend group who are discussing.
Evaluation, overall OK.
The bad reviews are basically "I've got my pants off, so you're going to show me this?"
Or, "This is the end?XXX?XXXX?Haida isn't going to fill the hole?"
is not like "Zhu Xian" on the earth, which is vented by book fans in various extreme ways to vent their dissatisfaction and anger.
Most people feel that they are not very satisfied, but they can still accept it.
The general opinion is that although there are some holes that have not yet been filled, "Zhu Xian" is already a classic.
Your requirements for the classics are really low, Du Caige thought.
Commenting on himself pertinently, Du Caige felt that the ending he wrote was actually not much better than the original.
I guess I barely turned a failing score of 55 points into a passing score of 62 points.
It's just that the score doesn't improve much, but from failing to passing, it's really a leap, isn't it?
But in fact, the reason why "Zhu Xian" was evaluated as having a bad ending, Du Caige felt that it was because there were too many holes, and it could not be filled in the later stage, and it was caused by the hasty ending for various reasons.
And when Du Caige first started to carry "Zhu Xian", he didn't have the idea of modifying it himself, so he didn't think to fill in those pits, such as about the Book of Heaven.
By the time he wanted to change the ending, it was already difficult to return, and some places were not easy to change at all.
If you want to change "Zhu Xian" into a classic that can stand scrutiny and test, and reach the height of "The Condor Trilogy", "Smiling Proud Jianghu", "Peerless Double Pride", and "The Legend of Chu Liuxiang", it is absolutely impossible unless it is refined and reformed from the middle.
And if you do that, you will almost overturn the second half of the book and rewrite it.
Du Caige didn't want to bother to do it.
"Zhu Xian" is indeed flawed.
But even the little dragon girl is not perfect, and there are flaws. What if there are defects? I will like what I should like.
He was just a porter, not a master of literature.
And he has too many things to do, he really doesn't have time and experience to repeatedly pick out a copy of "Zhu Xian".
Put down "Zhu Xian" for the time being and go do something else.
In the past half a month after it was put on the shelves, "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" is still like a rainbow, and the average subscription has been rising, and it has also continued to attract new users to be attracted to read online articles.
It can be said that "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" has become the top spot in the online literature industry in 2008, which is a foregone conclusion.
can even say to himself that if Du Caige closed his pen and stopped writing online articles, no book would be able to reach the results of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" in the next few years.
Of course, this is also what Du Caige had expected.
On Earth, "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" and "Zhu Xian" are not at the same level.
"Ghost Blowing the Lantern" and "Notes on Tomb Robbery" are both tens of millions of physical sales on the earth, and film adaptation works also have a box office value of billions or even tens of billions.
As for "Zhu Xian", the physical publication is only 2 million, and the film reform is only a few hundred million at the box office.
"Ghost Blows the Lamp" doesn't have to worry too much about him now.
He has already finished the first 4 parts, and then he had the idea to pinch the last four parts into a "Angry Eye Xiangxi", and now he is writing "Fairy Sword" in his spare time, he will start writing a little, and the progress is currently 50,000 words. The writing did not go well, but the quality of the 50,000 words that have been completed is not bad.
As for "Fairy Sword", due to too many things recently, he has not carried it quickly, and there are only 200,000 words in the manuscript at present.
Chu Guo wrote "The Legend of Sword and Fairy", which is the version of the plot of Xian 1, and the original book is 410,000 words.
Du Caige has made a certain reduction to it, which is more in line with the fast pace of online texts, but retains some classic dialogues and plots, and it is expected that the final word count will be 33-360,000 words.
That's certainly not enough to support a complete network.
But after talking to the authors and the executives of the founding Chinese network in the writing training class, Du Caige did not plan to spend too much time on "Fairy Sword".
At that time, he showed the first tens of thousands of words of "Fairy Sword" to the deputy editor-in-chief Qing Yu and Lu Xudong, and talked about the plot later.
Qingyu and Lu Xudong's opinion is that they hope he can write at least 1 million words or more.
But Du Caige really didn't want to be reluctant.
That's all there is to the plot of Immortal 1, and if you write more, it's a dog's tail and a mink.
You can't write Ling'er alive anymore!
If you want to continue to write the fairy sword, you can only write the plot of the later immortal 2, immortal 3 immortal 4.
But he didn't want to write.
So the two guys came up with an idea for him: the gunman.
He wrote the plot of Xian 1 in the first part, and he wrote the outline of the later part and handed it over to the gunman to fill in.
"Isn't that okay?" Du Caige hesitated.
Qingyu said: "This is the norm in the online literature circle, do you think that all the books of those great god authors are written by themselves? Who has that time? Do you think people can really update 3 or 50,000 words a day? Not to mention online articles, even in the physical field, this phenomenon is very common, and many famous artists have several gunmen." ”
Lu Xudong also advised him: "Brother, don't be brainless." People's energy is limited, and if you want to write a few more fire books, it is definitely not enough to rely on your own strength. ”
Du Caige was not completely resistant, after all, he had also considered it before, providing his own ideas and outlines, and finding someone to write some new genres.
Those new genres, such as infinite streaming, system streaming, will definitely attract a large number of readers for a period of time and help the founding Chinese network expand.
It's just that it's a little subtle to let him find his own gunner? I'm already a gunner, a porter, and a gunman?
After thinking about it for a long time, Du Caige replied: "It's okay to find a gunman, but I will tell you publicly that from which chapter to start, I will provide the outline and someone else will write it for you." ”
"Why bother?" Lu Xudong said hurriedly, "This will definitely affect the results." ”
"Think of it as satisfying my little moral cleanliness. Du Caige said.
You are the majority shareholder, you are the cow beer, you have the final say.
Regarding the release of "Sword and Fairy", it was decided.
"Ghost Blowing the Lantern" is Du Caige's attempt to make it a classic, and he will rely on it to create a "tomb robbery universe" in the future, so it can't be handed over to the gunman, and he must do it himself to ensure the highest quality.
If it weren't for the sake of ensuring quality, he would copy all the last 4 films, which would be much easier and more effort-saving!
And "Sword and Fairy" can do just that.
People from Sprout Publishing House have talked to him before, hoping that he can release the physical and online versions of "Fairy Sword" simultaneously. There is no need to publish all "Fairy Sword" at one time, and it is better to sell it one by one.
However, the conditions have not yet been negotiated.
He and Lu Xudong agreed that no matter whether they want to release the physical version at the same time or not, they will start releasing "Fairy Sword" on July 15 anyway, and then let them start looking for gunmen now according to the style of "Fairy Sword".
It doesn't matter if it's expensive, it's a good quality. Make the reader feel that as long as the original author continues to provide the outline, the quality will not deteriorate.
If this arrangement is feasible, then he doesn't have to hand over some good ideas, but can first write hundreds of thousands of words in his own name, and then hand it over to other gunmen to continue writing, and carry over many wonderful online articles on the earth according to this model.
At least the best of each genre should be carried out, so that online texts can flourish in Dahuaguo.
National Art Flow, Flood Flow, Infinite Flow, System Flow, Qi Luck Flow, Shenhao Flow, Cthulhu Flow......
And he himself can retain his energy, focus on the physical shaping that can become a classic, and when he has money, he will quit the literary world, no longer be a porter, and concentrate on making movies.
Wouldn't it be a pleasure!
