Chapter 728: The Position of the Heart
If it was Xu Qing in the previous life, I really couldn't imagine that one day I would have a work that would reach the height of "Ghost Blowing the Lamp".
But as mentioned before, Xu Qing has no love for horror themes, so there is really nothing to do.
Because the status of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" in Xu Qing's heart is not very high, Xu Qing gave "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" to Zeng Yurou, who Xu Qing just thought that he should be able to believe, but had not yet had time to pass the test of time.
In fact, it was later, Xu Qing was a little bit of a sheep herder. He was busy doing other things, and even the follow-up of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern", Xu Qing didn't watch it seriously. How Zeng Yurou writes, as long as he doesn't depart from the outline, Xu Qing actually doesn't bother to care.
If you hand it over to an irresponsible person, you might be flooded with water at half the start. In the end, a good work was so bad.
Fortunately, Zeng Yurou is not the kind of person who is irresponsible. Xu Qing is not strict, but Zeng Yurou herself is more serious. So the "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" that came out in the end is indeed quite an excellent situation.
And in fact, Zeng Yurou's version of "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" has another advantage. That's the plot, in fact, there was a framework from the beginning, and it has always been in accordance with this framework.
Although it is divided into several parts, the internal content is actually very harmonious.
Regarding the "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" in the previous life, Xu Qingke didn't dare to say so.
The works of the great gods are indeed worthy of learning from younger generations in many aspects. If you don't have enough respect for the works of your predecessors, your peers here will not be able to stand it.
But the actual situation is that when the great god of Ba Sing did this work, there was indeed a feeling of haste. This led to several large-scale revisions in the middle, and finally the version that circulated outside was very confusing, and many people realized that the version they were watching turned out to be wrong after a long time after reading it.
Actually, this is not the fault of this great god. In the online literature industry, this is generally the case.
It's very simple, if you have a physical book, you will usually release the book after all the works have been finalized several times. So in general, after being checked by the author and editor, there are often not too many logical problems.
However, the form of online articles is completely different.
Someone can guarantee a certain amount of manuscripts, so for example, when you update to 300,000 words and write 400,000 words, you suddenly find that 350,000 words here is actually a better way to write, and it can even have a dazzling effect.
In this case, of course, you can easily revise your own manuscript. Readers don't need to watch your imperfect version at all.
But if you don't save it, you suddenly want to change the situation here for 350,000 words. But in fact, the content of 350,000 words has been uploaded for five days.
You've made a sudden change here, can readers know?
It is not appropriate to add other words in the text, and you can explain it in the following areas such as have something to say or comment on the like. In fact, many people are too lazy to read this content. It's just that you noticed what you said, but in reality, it doesn't necessarily take a long time from the time the author changes it to the time the reader updates the client.
To put it simply, it is to prevent some authors from doing other illegal things according to the revised content.
But in the end, it brings a lot of inconvenience to readers to watch the modified content.
In this way, if you make changes halfway, it will cause problems in all aspects.
And at the end of the day, it's actually normal for you to suddenly have other ideas in the middle of a work. In the absence of a manuscript, sometimes the author is very entangled.
In the previous life, "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" experienced too many entanglements. There are all kinds of pirated copies that circulate outside.
In fact, I have been following the genuine version to see readers, and because of these modifications, I am very entangled.
It's not that Zeng Yurou's level is already higher than that of the great god, it's just that the plot outline given by Xu Qing has helped Zeng Yurou think about the plot to the greatest extent. In such a situation, she didn't have to worry about the rationality of her plot like the great god at that time.
So the result is also very smooth, without that tangled feeling.
Xu Qing handed over "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" to Zeng Yurou, on the one hand, the status of this work in his mind is not too high. Even if Zeng Yurou ruined this work, it is certain that Xu Qing is a little distressed, but it is not particularly distressed.
And at the same time, since it's going to find a gunman, some of the works of the previous life are to come out. What is the point of taking garbage works in exchange for much benefit in total?
"Ghost Blowing the Lantern" is such a compromise, on the one hand, if something goes wrong, Xu Qing will not feel distressed. On the other hand, if it succeeds, Xu Qing also knows that although he doesn't like the horror adventure theme, this theme still has a large market.
If you can succeed, of course, you will be able to make better preparations for the future.
At that time, when I had known Zeng Yurou for a few days, Xu Qing's "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" was such a situation.
But with the contact with Zeng Yurou, the relationship between the two has become very close. To put it simply, in fact, it didn't take long for Xu Qing to trust Zeng Yurou very much.
It is also for this reason that after repurchasing the copyright, Xu Qing also took the initiative to hand over the copyright certificate to Zeng Yurou, and asked Zeng Yurou to return to her hometown once. Solve those conflicts at home.
Recently, Xu Qing has completely trusted Zeng Yurou. When Zeng Yurou realized that her own ability was still not enough, Xu Qing took out the outline of "Zhu Xian" and wanted Zeng Yurou to give it a try.
But in the final analysis, the status of "Zhu Xian" in Xu Qing's mind is actually far more important than "Ghost Blowing the Lantern".
I can't say it's the originator. But "Zhu Xian" is indeed the first popular online article with the theme of Xianxia. Note that it is talking about online articles. Although "Journey to the West" is also a fairy theme, it is not an online article.
And conventionally speaking, the hierarchy mechanism in Xianxia novels is not available in "Journey to the West". When it comes to Xianxia novels in modern times, in fact, it generally refers to the kind of Xianxia novels that have formed a system, and there must be in the Jindan period and the Yuan infant period.
And within this range, "Zhu Xian" is indeed one of the earliest excellent Xianxia works.
