"Let's take a look at this first. ”

"Galactic Science Fiction" magazine, in the office on the top floor. Rong Maoshi smiled and handed a few newspapers to the young man in front of him wearing thick-bottomed glasses and a simple head.

The young Chinese New Year's Eve is in his early thirties, slightly fat, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and looks very honest and honest.

Although the appearance is not amazing, if there are senior science fiction fans here, they will definitely jump and jump with excitement, because this young man named He Xingwei is one of the famous "Three Kings of Science Fiction" in the science fiction industry today.

He Xingwei himself is a graduate student of celestial mechanics, who has studied at the Chinese Academy of Sciences and spent time in satellite bases, and is a serious scientist of 800, and now his main business is still the technical backbone of an astronomical research institution. Writing science fiction is just a side hustle and a hobby.

It is precisely because of this that although he has a very axial personality and is a typical technical nerd, the novels he writes are full of hard goods, and he is the leader of the current hard science fiction stream.

The headlines on the front pages of these newspapers are nothing else, they are the interpretations that Li Haiyang saw in "The End of the Sword World" about how Gu Wen used Li Shenzhou and Yan Maniac to map Jin Liang, how he wanted to knock him down and overturn, and how Sima Zhao's heart was interpreted.

"I've seen these in the past few days. Teacher, what do you mean by showing me?"

The industry only knows that the hard sci-fi giant He Xingwei is the pillar of "Galaxy Science Fiction", and he has an irreversible relationship with Rong Maoshi, and the relationship is so iron that someone once couldn't dig it away with three times the remuneration and five times the remuneration. But few people know that Rong Maoshi is not only the leader of He Xingwei's entry into the science fiction world, but also served as He Xingwei's nature teacher when he was teaching in his early years. He Xingwei has always trusted and respected him very much, and all matters related to the novel have been handed over to him to take care of.

Rong Maoshi took a sip of tea: "I wrote it." ”

He Xingwei was surprised: "Teacher, you also watch martial arts?"

Rong Maoshi noticed the word "also". But he didn't say anything, and said, "Tell you." In the first volume of your new book "The Pseudo-Universe", I'm going to lower the yard ocean. Test the waters of the national bestseller ranking monthly list. ”

He Xing stood up in surprise and said in disbelief: "Teacher, why? Haven't we been trying to get closer to serious literature and take the route of high-priced high-quality products? And we have been developing well." ”

"Yes, it depends on who you compare yourself to. ”

Rong Maoshi smiled bitterly, "Yes, our previous strategy was to move closer to the elite literature of serious literature, strive for the power list of writers in the morning, and let everyone hear the voice of science fiction." That's why the single-volume yard ocean has been greatly raised, relying on the support of die-hard fans, and indeed on the list of writers' power with high-code oceans. There is also an unprecedented feat of the three of you appearing in the top 50 of the power list at the same time. But what about the three of you? Over the years. But are there any other science fiction authors in the top 100?"

"Because we have adhered to the high-priced boutique route for too long, the popularity of our works is getting worse and worse, on the other hand, martial arts novels, it has only been a few years since there is this category? Not only has it sold millions of copies, but as many as 7 people have been on the top 100 of the annual royalty list, and there will definitely be a Gu Wen ...... this year."

"Teacher, I have worked hard for so many years, and it was not easy for me to jointly open a science fiction research direction with Shudu University of the Arts, which is far from forming a course, and it is very humiliating to be affiliated with the 'Children's Literature Research Center'. As a result, Jin Liang has quietly gone to the Communication University to open an open martial arts course for thousands of people, "The Dream of Literati and Chivalry through the Ages"! It has been very successful, and even an old-school literati like Nong Li who despises martial arts the most can't say anything at all!"

Recently, this course has been selected as a school-level excellent course of Communication University, and it will also compete for the top ten open courses of the Ministry of Education on behalf of Communication University. What's even more frustrating is that I heard that next year it will be specially recorded as a video and put it on the official website for everyone to click and watch...... Seeing that the gap is getting wider and wider. It has come to the point where we must learn from the pain and vigorously rectify it!"

"Xingwei, after all, this is an era oriented by the market and the influence of the general public. Teacher I do this. It is to lower the threshold and greatly increase sales and influence. Let our science fiction novels get rid of the embarrassing situation of 'selling better than me is not as deep as me, and not as deep as me selling well'!!"

He Xingwei was silent.

He knew that what his teacher Rong Maoshi said did make sense, but for a while, he still couldn't turn a corner in his heart, "Barbarian Pseudo Universe" was the killer feature he had conceived for many years, and it was also his first million-dollar novel, and he originally thought that he could rely on this book to sell well and go further on the list of writers' power!

Since his debut, he has only been mixed on the list of writers' power and writers' royalties with the highest qualifications, and from the bottom of his heart, he really looks down on the monthly list of national bestsellers known as the "small popular list".

He frowned and said, "...... Martial arts is martial arts, science fiction is science fiction, small profits, must be able to sell more?"

Rong Maoshi is very confident in this: "Just kidding, a two-Michelin-starred restaurant that was originally high, the taste of the ingredients remains the same, and suddenly sold a 30 yuan set lunch, so it doesn't break my head?!"

After speaking, he said step by step: "You also want your hard-earned book to be seen by more people, discussed by more people, and liked by more people, instead of being high and low, not many people can afford to buy it, and then only be commented on by those bad old men who look down on people with low eyes, right?"

As soon as He Xingwei heard this, he didn't say anything more, and after sitting down obediently, he asked, "Teacher, what should I do next?"

"The first step is to take "The Pseudo-Universe" and defeat Gu Wen head-on on the national bestseller monthly list, cleanly and mercilessly!"

He Xingwei frowned, and stopped talking a little.

Rong Maoshi understood, knowing that he was worried about surrendering his identity so much, if he failed to defeat Gu Wen, it would be too much to lose. After all, literary works are such a thing, and no one can say for sure if they have not passed the test of the market.

Just laughed: "In this regard, you just have to trust the teacher's judgment." I've read your "Barbarian Pseudo-Universe", it's even more beneficial than I imagined, and it's definitely a once-in-a-decade masterpiece of science fiction. Besides, don't look at the super hot sale of "Shenzhou Invincible", but in fact, Gu Wen's book is currently very seriously damaged in terms of structure. I predict the next two volumes. Definitely going to be a big problem. We chose this time to face the head-on, and it was absolutely safe. ”

"Collapsed. Not really, right?"

"Trust me, I've been doing Galactic Science Fiction for more than 20 years. There is still a little bit of vision. Genre novels usually have a relatively complete or conventional worldview setting. This is especially true of martial arts novels. You haven't listened to Jin Liang's "The Dream of Literati and Chivalry through the Ages", so you may not know that although martial arts novels are not as rigorous as the world setting of our science fiction novels, all its 'unspoken rules' have left a deep impression on readers through various novels, TV series, and so on. At present, the maturity of the entire martial arts world setting is already very high: evil factions, famous families, families, masters outside the world, and black tigers dig out their hearts. Point points, light skills, harrier turning over, stainless steel bone fan, five poisons, beggars, martial arts conference, Huashan sword, killer. Tissue, Disguise, Six Doors...... These skills, sects. characters, although there has never been a theoretical monograph that clearly records their origin, values, and introduction, but all those who have come into contact with martial arts. You know what they are at a glance, and you know them to the extent that you are familiar with your own world. Because it is basically based on reality. So most people will subconsciously limit their worldview when they watch martial arts stories: can the male protagonist shatter a stone with one palm? Okay, it's normal and powerful. But the actor bulldozed a mountain with one palm? If you don't scribble, you'll die. The current 'Shenzhou Wonder Hero', although Xiao Qiushui can't move mountains and reclaim the sea, it's almost there, and the basic world view setting is already on the verge of the limit of most martial arts readers! In this case, he will pursue a bigger and more exciting climax later, and it will basically collapse!"

If Deng Zheng heard this, he would definitely be surprised, but he didn't know whether to raise a glass and drink to become a confidant, or he couldn't cry or laugh, in the end, the biggest benefit from listening to the lecture was actually a person with ill intentions!

He Xingwei seemed to understand, but he didn't seem to understand, he was stunned, and clicked the newspaper on the table, "Then what ......is the teacher concocting this?"

Rong Maoshi smiled, took a sip of tea, and slowly explained: "Since you want to defeat, you must ensure that the effect is maximized." Gu Wen has been very popular recently, but not hot enough, so I have to add more fire to him and build momentum for him. Think about it, if these reports were seen by Jin Liang, and by his arrogant Golden Armor Guards, what would they think and do?"

He Xingwei's eyes lit up: "The madness and power of the Golden Armor Guard, everyone knows that once this gate is opened, the torrent will roll in, and it will not be able to be restrained at all, and it will definitely be a big Internet event." And this Jin Liang is even more of a lord who dares to be the sun and the sky, how can he allow others to flirt with the tiger's beard? Even the giants of Nanguo, Hongli, Hanhai, and Beichuan, he dares to be tough, not to mention a little post-learner?! At this moment, no matter whether Gu Wen has this intention or not, he will definitely tear it up!"

"There is no doubt that Goodwin must have meant that. I said that he was arrogant, insinuated reality, and absolutely did not wronged him. That's the best part about it. You think, I can read it, Jin Liang can definitely read it, hehe, he must be itching teeth of hatred now, if Gu Wen appears in front of him at this time, it is possible for him to rush up and strangle the other party!"

He Xingwei nodded, and said worriedly: "But this Gu Wen, how can he carry Jin Liang?"

Rong Maoshi smiled: "Of course I can't bear it." But that's exactly where the problem lies. Jin Liang has always been too strong in martial arts, so strong that his peers are pessimistic. Finally, there is a newcomer who can fight in the pattern of talent, the two of them tear up, I believe that most people will still sympathize with the weak, coupled with the recent momentum of Gu Wen, and we help him build momentum, I believe that at least a certain balance of power can be formed in a short period of time, giving people the illusion that he can almost match Jin Liang a little.

Wait until this time, and then we will be up to you, specifically your "Barbarian Pseudo Universe", on the national bestseller monthly list, representing science fiction, and seriously and beautifully defeating his 'Shenzhou Wonder Man'!

At that time, all his previous power and reputation will become yours. How beautiful he was before, you will only be more beautiful later!

Moreover, the most important thing is that you beat Gu Wen, who is equal to Jin Liang and comparable to Jin Liang, in a crackling manner, doesn't it indirectly show that you really want to be popularized no worse than Jin Liang?

I believe that after this battle between things and fighting cattle across the mountains, my science fiction will successfully complete the perfect transition from the embarrassing situation of not being up or down before, and completing the perfect transition of popularization and marketization!"

He Xingwei was stunned: "The partition ...... Fighting cattle across the mountain?"

Rong Mao smiled dryly: "Ahem...... Recently, I have seen a lot of martial arts. (To be continued.) )
