Chapter 136: Rubbing the Heat
Like Wozniak, who watched the update of "Abnormal Creature Observations", there is also the most famous writer on the website at present, except for Wang Yan, Neil?? Gaiman.
Truth be told, Neil?? Gaiman is actually quite arrogant.
For example, when he won the World Fantasy Award in 1991, he said in public: "If you only think about creativity, then the only writers of the past and present can compare with me is Jules??" Verne and Kafka. ”
Although this statement has attracted a lot of criticism from the media and peers, Neil still sticks to the idea.
It wasn't until 1995, when Arcane Throne came out, that the young Asian boy came into his sights.
But what really made him appreciate Wang Gradual's unusualness was the period when the two of them serialized "American Gods" and "Extreme Heavenly Demons" on the website at the same time.
Although, he thinks that there is no difference between the creativity of "bringing the gods into a big fight" and "using the power of data to crush the gods".
But the key problem is that Wang gradually wrote too fast!
For countless nights, he had to sigh that this way of writing was really oppressive to writers.
But when he racked his brains to think about the following plot, "Extreme Heavenly Demon" was already over!
Then, the same Wang gradually wrote a book about medieval Europe and femininization.
Well, before this work, Neil finally had to be ashamed of himself.
Because as a straight man, he really can't portray women's psychology so vividly.
Then, that Wang gradually opened a new book non-stop.
You must know that at this moment, his "American Gods" is only halfway through the series!
So, with an incredible mood, Neil opened this work called "Abnormal Creature Observations".
Then, he chuckled softly.
Although this "Anomaly", the characters and dialogues are interesting, but its core is only similar to "American Gods", which is a story that puts legendary creatures into the real world.
While watching "Anomaly", he compared it with "American Gods" to see which writer had better writing skills under similar themes.
Then, the protagonist in "Anomaly" went to space...
"This..."Neil?? Gaiman clicked the mouse blankly, looking at what the protagonist saw and heard on another planet.
"How many novel ideas do you have in your head!"
He hesitated, but still picked up the phone and gave it to his friend George?? Martin called.
The two exchanged pleasantries, and then Neil revealed his true purpose.
"George, how creative should a writer be, and how fast should he write?"
"Isn't it, Neil, and you're suspicious of creativity and writing speed?" Martin asked, surprised.
"You're the one who publishes new works the most frequently among the authors who have been nominated for the World Fantasy Awards!"
"But, do you know the king? the one who wrote the Arcane Throne. Neil asked, "How did he be creative and write so fast?"
"What, you say king?" Neil felt George's voice flicker and flicker, "I'm sorry, Neil, I'm going through a tunnel here!"
Listen to the sound of "beep", Neil?? Gaiman looked at the phone suspiciously.
"I'm dialing George?? Martin's home phone, where did the tunnel come from?"
And George on the other end of the phone?? Martin, on the other hand, exhaled hard.
Who is it better to compare with, go to that guy Wang Yan?
"Forget it, forget it. When I heard the name, I felt a headache. He hesitated, but turned off his computer.
"I'm not inspired today, so let's continue tomorrow!"
At this time, Wang gradually had finished writing the first part of the space plot, and the worldview of the book could be regarded as officially unfolding.
He clicked on the comment section casually to see how readers reacted to this episode.
"The protagonists are all in space, vampires vs. Jedi, is the goddess still far away from the Death Star?"
"With the attributes of the vampire heroine's pit partner, you can join the empire, okay? That way, the rebels can sit and watch the empire collapse!"
Wang gradually clicked the mouse, quickly skimming the "Star Wars" fan messages.
"You say, what happens to Spark when he meets a husky? He guesses he's going to be angry with human emotions, right?"
"In my mind, I'm already thinking about what Spark looked like when he met the Goddess of Neurosis!' ’”
When Wang gradually saw the message, he had to sigh at the great influence of "Star Wars" and "Star Trek" in the United States.
But because of copyright issues, if you want to borrow the popularity of these two classics, you can only be very, very obscure.
Wang gradually recorded this in a notebook, and then jumped to the Twitter topic.
Compared with the sci-fi fans in the book review area, there are more character fans here.
Most of the more comments were: "If there were such a beautiful vampire living in my house, I would let her suck it every day!"
"I've fed the husky four burritos at home, why doesn't it still move? Does it have to be a full moon night? It's the couch that bites my sofa out of shape!"
"Fish-man babies are the cutest!
Wang gradually smiled and nodded, feeling pretty good.
In the topic, no one expressed any objections to the fantasy transfer to space.
On the contrary, he expressed great interest in the combination of fantasy and science fiction.
He clicked and continued to flip through the comments.
Suddenly, there were several replies that aroused Wang Yan's interest.
"Dear Mr. Wang, I am a college student book lover and a member of the Stray Dog Protection Organization.
In your work "Anomalous Creature Observations", I saw a lot of efforts made by the protagonists to protect stray dogs!
I recommend this book to the rest of the organization, and they are all very touched by the episodes.
We are recently preparing to hold a demonstration to protest against the inhumane policy of the American ZF on stray dogs.
We hope that the characters in the book, like Goofy and Snoopy, will become one of the symbols of the parade.
I don't know if you can give us the right to use this role in the parade.
Of course, we are also very much looking forward to your participation in the parade.
Let's do our part to protect stray dogs.
Here is my phone number :xxx.
Please contact me as soon as possible if it is convenient. ”
Wang gradually looked at the computer screen and took a sip of tea silently.
I made a lot of changes, just to rub the heat everywhere, and by the way, I was a water word count.
As for going to the march, Wang Jianzhen was not interested.
He continued to look through the comments, and found similar replies from "Scientific HIV Prevention Organization" and "XX Environmental Organization".
Its content is basically the same.
