In the past, when He Xingwei wrote books, he basically used real cutting-edge technology or scientific conjectures to drive the plot. Therefore, there are a lot of dry goods, but because of this, the threshold is super high, and some scientific terms cannot be understood by people who do not have a certain foundation.

But this time, in the process of creating his new work "Barbarian Pseudo Universe", he listened to the advice of his teacher Rong Maoshi more, and tried to popularize and popularize it as much as possible.

Changed to plot as king, supplemented by technology, showing good writing skills. The character building, rhythm control, and narrative ability are all commendable.

At the same time, the setting of the protagonist has also been deliberately put into the setting, and the protagonist of "Barbarian Pseudo Universe" is a macho man named Luo Jiejian, nicknamed "Stone Husband". Just by looking at the name, you can know how brave and strong this person is.

Because of this, "Pseudo Universe" has captured a large number of passers-by fans, and once it was listed, the sales were quite good, and many people who didn't watch science fiction much before also praised the original science fiction is not cold and boring, but also very good-looking, quite easy to understand!

But it has also received a lot of criticism from die-hard fans and science fiction insiders, saying that it is willing to degenerate and change from hard science fiction to soft science fiction, and some people even accuse what he is writing now of being "children's books in the skin of science fiction"!

However, this does not prevent the first volume of "Barbarian Pseudo Universe" from being on the market for only three days, and it has sold the number of copies that could not be sold in three months when it used to take the high-priced elite route!

And because of the wide popularity, the heat of discussion has also risen, and it is said that some film and television companies have begun to discuss the purchase of copyrights, which in the past, when they were forced to make up for serious literature with a literary shelf, they didn't even dare to think about it.

On a video portal, a heated live debate is also unfolding.

This is a well-known quarrel show. In this issue, we have specially invited some celebrities to express their views. Debate and predict who will win and lose the war between "Wild Pseudo Universe" and "Wonder Man".

As a result, it came up because of the popularity controversy of "Barbarian Pseudo Universe". Let's start with the sci-fi fans inside.

There are quite a few naysayers:

"In my mind, science fiction works based on physics, chemistry, biology, astronomy, psychology, medicine and other sciences, based on strict technical deduction and prediction of development paths, and depicting the impact of new technologies and inventions on human society that are extremely likely to be realized, are science fiction works. So, I'm very disappointed in He Xingwei, very disappointed!"

"Those who are close to Zhu are red and those who are close to ink are black, I said it a long time ago, he shouldn't have been mixed with that Rong Maoshi at all. It's sad. I really didn't expect that one day, He Xingwei actually began to walk in the style of space opera, writing about interstellar and war. ”

"His book "Barbarian Pseudo Universe" is not science fiction at all. ”

There are also supported by:

"Why isn't it science fiction? The worldview and the symbolic system determine the type of work. Here's an example: 'He shot and killed the gangster on the other side. It's clearly a realistic novel, it could be a detective or a suspense. As soon as he stretched out his hand, a red magic light struck the gangster on the opposite side. It's magic. He raised his EMP gun and killed the gangsters on the other side. That's science fiction. Although it seems to be just a change of words, in fact, the whole context is different. A lot of the time. Or most of the time, language is reality. The difference is that one is incomprehensible and can only be believed, while the other can be justified within a certain scope. In this regard. "Pseudo-Universe" is not only science fiction, but also has a very hard temperament. ”

"Trust me, most of our readers. In his spare time, he likes to watch space and heroes. Far more than literature and science. ”

"Yes. Science fiction hasn't caught on because of you old-fashioned people. 'Dead Light', 'Warped Space', 'Terraform', 'Crowd Mind' and 'Parallel Universe' are frequent. I'm a fan of martial arts, and I used to only read martial arts novels, but yesterday I flipped through "The Pseudo-Universe", and I think it's pretty good. ”

As soon as they heard the mention of "martial arts", sci-fi fans immediately became angry:

"This is an internal matter in the science fiction circle, and there are few **** martial arts. Not to mention the science fiction category, when He Xing was a great god and climbed into the top 100 of the writers' power list, martial arts novels, there was no such thing in the world!"

Martial arts fans have always been arrogant, who have they been afraid of? immediately opened: "I didn't want to stimulate you, haven't you heard Jin Liang's "The Dream of Literati and Chivalry through the Ages", in terms of historical and cultural origins and the psychological closeness of our nation, your science fiction and our martial arts are not at the same level at all!"

A well-known professor science fiction fan disdainfully: "It's far-fetched, Wang Po sells melons! Our pattern is the sea of stars, and your pattern is wine-colored wealth, which is not a level at all! On the pattern of bearing, on the grand narrative, all literary genres, science fiction should be the first!"

A famous host martial arts fan sneered: "Yes, the scope described in "Barbarian Pseudo Universe" is currently far beyond the solar system, and the story of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" is only a few million square kilometers of land in total, but there is no fundamental difference between the two in terms of "grand narrative", which has nothing to do with the spatial scope, but with the reader's observation angle." You can see the details, then a city is enough to consume more than ten years of taste, you can't see the details, then the summer night starry sky is just a canvas. Human society is not narrow, the universe is not vast, and human beings do not even know what it is like to be thousands of meters under the sea, but they have landed on other planets that are out of reach. ”

In the applause of martial arts fans, an actress who is known for being good at walking naked refuted:

"When I first came into contact with science fiction, I secretly watched it under my desk in class, and since then I have been out of control. As the world of dreams unfolded in front of my eyes, the shock was a hundred times more intense than the first kiss! As I read science fiction works more and more, my world view became bigger and bigger, and I became more and more indifferent to environmental problems, the greenhouse effect, species extinction, and all kinds of natural and man-made disasters. Why? Because I am becoming more and more aware that the earth is just a speck of dust in the universe! What about the extinction of the giant panda? Is it stupid that the opposition and government forces are grabbing territory every day? The more science fiction is read, the bigger the world becomes, spanning time and space, and even higher dimensions. At the same time, we are increasingly discovering the insignificance and self-righteousness of human beings......"

The actress said unscrupulously, science fiction fans were dumbfounded, and martial arts fans snickered.

The host next to him is also inclined to support science fiction, and when he saw that this big-breasted woman was going to help, he hurriedly came out and concluded: "Okay, the genre debate ends here." Whether it is science fiction or martial arts, there is an important core in a good work, that is, human nature! In the final analysis, genre is just a carrier, and its essence is to serve feelings. Of course, except for those who regard science fiction as pure popular science reading and martial arts as a martial arts cheats. ”

After that, he beckoned to start voting—who he thought would win, and explained in one sentence the reasons for winning.

The results of the final vote were basically half a catty, and "Barbarian Pseudo Universe" had a slight upper hand.

This is also similar to the current overall situation in the outside world, the sales of the first three days have won and lost each other, and they have been biting tightly. Among the ordinary readers on the Internet, they are optimistic that "Wonder Heroes" has a certain advantage, and in the eyes of media experts, those who support "Wild Pseudo Universe" obviously have the upper hand.

But one point that makes Rong Maoshi and He Xingwei depressed is that since the "Lonely Master" came out, the entries related to "Liu Suifeng" have been in the hot search, and the discussion is more than three times as hot as the protagonist of "Barbarian Pseudo Universe" "Stone Husband" Luo Jieshi.

"I feel sorry for Liu Wu! Such a character is really sad and pitiful!"

Looking at Liu Wu's monologue on his deathbed, it is like watching himself experience such a vague pain, eternal untouchable but never regretful bitter love, all his previous masochism and cruelty seem to be understandable and forgiven in a moment. ”

"The spring willows go with the wind, and the thousand autumns are lonely. ”

If that's the only thing, forget it, the key is connected, Yan Maniac and Li Shenzhou, the number of search topics is no worse than Luo Jieshi.

"The Yan maniac who is also both good and evil is the most brilliant. The first place to go back to the rivers and lakes was to do three things: the first place to go was the Guandi Temple to dissuade Yue Fei from returning to Beijing and continue to resist the great cause of resisting Jin; the second place was to go to Shaolin Wudang, so as to realize the two major sects to abandon their prejudices and exchange martial arts with each other in order to achieve the goal of fighting against the evil way; and the third place was the chief rudder of the Yangtze River waterway to kill the 'Great Heavenly King of Zhu' in order to achieve the goal of saving Yue Fei! He is really worthy of the name of the number one madman in the world!"

"Li Shenzhou is also good. There is a saying that the best way to see your weight is the weight of your enemies. Li Shenzhou, whose status in the rivers and lakes is almost unattainable, and the fledgling Xiao Qiushui, have a similar demeanor, one is affectionate, one is helpless, one is empty-minded, and one is ambitious. There are also Tianzheng, Taichan, Qiu Wuyi, Master Monk, Sancai Swordsman, Xiao Dongguang, Xiao Xilou, Xiao Yiren, Xiao Kaiyan, Tang Da, Tang Rou, Tang Peng, Deng Yuhan, Qu Hanshan......

How many heroes at one time have paid for the land of Shenzhou! Such a wonderful person should be a big white man!"

"Not only the characters, but also the titles of the fascicles are much more wonderful than the content of ordinary books. From the sword qi of the Yangtze River, the heroes of Liangguang, the picturesque rivers and mountains, the heroes and heroes, the rivers and lakes, the invincible Shenzhou, the lonely master, to the snow in the world. There is a sense of the rise and fall of 'seeing him rise up the Zhu Tower, watching him feast guests, and seeing his building collapse' -- no matter how vigorous the hero, how the dilemma of love and righteousness, how difficult to live up to the beautiful flowers, and how ups and downs the story, there is also a moment when the song ends. If it weren't for the old man with a red face and a flick of his fingers, he would be a beauty and a famous general, and he would not be allowed to see a white head in the world!"

Looking at the excitement of these comments, Rong Maoshi and He Xingwei felt uncomfortable and a little incomprehensible.

But what is comforting is that fortunately, Liu Suifeng, who is very well written, is dead, and it is enough to play reversal to earn sympathy, so you can't pull him out of the grave and die again, right?

But what made them vomit blood was that later, in "There Is Snow in the World", which was released three days late due to printing problems, the other two of the three giants of the hugely popular Power Gang, Li Shenzhou and Zhao Shirong, also died together in a more tragic way in Fengbo Pavilion......
