United States. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
"Hey, Tony, I recommend a book written by Huang Yifan to you."
"Do you mean "Gone with the Wind", it's really well written, but I've finished reading it."
"It's not floating."
"Oh, then you must be talking about the Three Musketeers and the Count of Monte Cristo, God, these two classic works of knighthood, I almost forgot."
"It's not either."
"Uh, which one are you talking about?"
"The sword breaks through the sky."
The sword breaking the sky is actually the sword breaking the sky. Because the translator really can't translate the title of "Sword Breaking the Sky" accurately, in fact, the title of the book itself is very complaining. If you really want to say it, it is translated as a sword breaking the sky, which already shows that the translation ability is good.
"Sword Breaking the Sky, what kind of novel is this?"
"This is Huang Yifan's latest novel, about cultivation, about how to become stronger."
"Is it pretty?"
"Of course. I'll tell you, the book Sword Breaks the Sky is really cool. You don't know, the protagonist in it kills people at every turn, and even kills people by leapfrogging, and there is also a plot of pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger, which is simply amazing. ”
"Okay, I'll take a look."
……
Europe.
"Guys, do you recommend a knightly novel like the Three Musketeers?"
"Count of Monte Cristo, this is the same chivalric novel as the Three Musketeers."
"Khan, Huang Yifan's Count of Monte Cristo has already finished reading it. But recently, there has been a shortage of books, and I want to find something similar to these two works, but unfortunately I can't find them. ”
"It's normal to not be able to find it, after all, knight novels were created by Huang Yifan, and some previous writers have not written them. However, I can recommend you to take a look at Huang Yifan's recent novel, which is very well written. ”
"The sword breaks through the sky, is it another knight novel of Huang Yifan?"
"It's not a knight, but it's not a knight's novel, but it's better than a knight's novel. Sword Breaker is a fantasy novel about a swordsman. Moreover, the swordsman inside is a Chinese, which is very good. ”
"Chinese, oh my God, is it the Chinese swordsmanship that taught the 'Ados' swordsman in the Three Musketeers?"
"Yes. I've been chasing updates right now, and it's been brilliantly written. After reading the swordsmanship of the protagonist in this novel, I realized that it is no wonder that Ados has become invincible after learning a little bit of the swordsmanship of the Chinese swordsman. If you really learn all the swordsmanship of that Chinese swordsman, I am afraid that the army of a country will be wiped out. ”
"Isn't it too exaggerated to destroy a country's army?"
"No, no, no, it's not an exaggeration at all. The swordsmanship in this novel has reached the level of gods, and their swordsmanship level is like that of the magicians in our world, with supernatural powers. Hurry up and read it, I am sure that when you read this novel, you will be shocked by the imagination of this novel. ”
……
Japan.
"Shimono, why don't you read comics lately, don't you just read comics after class?"
"What's so good, now our Japanese comics are getting more and more regressive, and there are no good-looking comics recently, so I'm not interested."
"That's right, in recent years, our domestic comics have really regressed seriously, and there are no big works."
"I've been reading novels lately."
"Novels, light novels?"
"It's not our Japanese light novel, it's a Chinese novel."
"Oh my God, Shimono, you're brain-dead, you actually read Chinese novels. Don't tell me, you're reading the four great Chinese novels. If so, I don't despise you. ”
Although not many Japanese people like to read Chinese novels, the four great Chinese novels still have a great influence on Japan. Especially "Journey to the East", this famous work has also been filmed in Japan many TV series and movies. A series of comics and anime are also based on Journey to the East.
"I have read the four famous Chinese novels for a long time, and I read Chinese online novels."
"Well, you're brain-dead. What's so good about Chinese online novels, can they be as good as our comics? ”
"Of course."
"Cut, the ghost only believes it, you can blow it."
"Do I need to blow? Of course, if you don't see it, maybe you won't believe it. Chinese online novels have developed to a very high level, take the sword breaking the sky that I recently read, this is a story about a swordsman. ”
"What's this, in our Japanese manga, we have too many manga about swordsmen."
"No, no, it's not the same swordsman in our Japanese manga. The swordsmen in Sword Breaking and Covering the Sky are the kind of swordsmen who kill ruthlessly, and moreover, the swordsmanship in their swordsmen has developed to a peak level. Let me tell you a little bit, the swordsman in this place only used a simple sword at first, but slowly, when you have mastered a certain sword technique, you will be able to emit sword energy. Of course, don't say that we in Japan have thought of it a long time ago. Yes, we also have sword qi in Japan. But the sword qi is not over, on top of the sword qi, there is also sword intent. ”
"What is sword intent?"
"How to say it, the sword intent is the will of the sword, which represents a realm of the sword. When you have sword intent, the sword you use is no longer an ordinary sword, but a sword that penetrates people's hearts, a sword that can attack your spirit and soul. ”
"Huh......"
"Isn't it fresh? However, it is not so simple to practice sword intent, before practicing sword intent, you must also have sword intent seeds. ”
"What is that sword intent seed?"
"This is just like the seeds of our plants, sword intent also has seeds, and without sword intent seeds, sword intent will not be generated. As long as this wisp of sword intent seed is planted, and then nourished by the essence of the sun and the moon, it can finally cultivate the sword intent that looks down on the world. ”
"Does this seem more creative than our comics?"
"Nonsense, otherwise how would I have watched this sword break through the sky. Let me tell you, the innovation here is not only sword skills, but also a series of other martial arts innovations in addition to sword skills. For example, the will of the king. ”
"And what is this king's will?"
"The will of the king is the thought of a king, as long as the idea of the king is attached to a certain object, then this item has supreme power."
"Jiuye, don't say it, tell me quickly, where can I read this novel?"
……
Although each country has a variety of cultures, they actually have a lot in common.
In the jargon of writing web novels, that is, the cool point of all countries in the world is actually the same.
They'll feel cool because the protagonist gets stronger.
They will feel cool because the protagonist kills others.
They'll be happy that the protagonist has captured some treasures.
They're happy to see something very strange.
They will feel cool because the protagonist has soaked in a lot of beautiful women.
They're going to be ...... because of the main character Various acts are cool.
As a result, when a large number of Chinese online novels have been translated into foreign languages, more and more readers from all over the world have joined the army of reading Chinese online novels. And as they continue to read, a series of terms related to Chinese online novels also appear frequently.
"Update, hurry up."
Because translating novels is also a translation chapter by chapter, foreign readers also shout to update every day after seeing the latest chapters.
Although they knew that just shouting about the update didn't necessarily mean that the translator would desperately keep updating, it was always useful to shout a few more words.
Perhaps, when the translator saw so many people shouting for updates, his head was hot and he would update a few more chapters.
"Wow, this plot of pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger is well written, I like it."
The meaning of pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger is actually to pretend to be forced. Basically, online novels are synonymous with pretending novels. Perhaps domestic readers are no longer impressed by plots such as pretending to be forced, pretending to be pigs and eating tigers, because they are used to watching it. However, this is a new world for those foreign readers. They never imagined that a novel could be written like this.
In addition, there are things like cannon fodder, lunch boxes, equipment, magic weapons...... These terms also often pop up in the reader's mouth.
And under the crazy influx of this series of readers, the IP stream of Wuxiaword website has once again skyrocketed.
50 thousand.
100 thousand.
200,000.
300,000.
800,000.
The 800,000 here is not a one-day IP stream, but a unique visit.
With such a large number of independent IP visits, the global IP ranking of Wuxiaword website is also skyrocketing.
First, it was outside the original 1 million, and quickly entered the top 10,000.
Then from the top 10,000, it quickly reached the top 2,000.
Moreover, in the recent Wuxiaword forum, it directly broke into the 1200th place in the global IP list.
You know, the global traffic ranking is only 4700.
When the Wuxiaword Forum entered the top 1000 in the global traffic ranking, the Wuxiaword Forum entered the attention of the global public.
……
The French media exclaimed: "At a time when the Internet landscape has been formed, there is a website that has entered our eyes at a rocket-like speed." However, you may never think that this website is just a website. The site has only one business, and that is serialized novels for readers to read. ”
The American media also published a news comment: "Wuxiaword was a free personal website a year ago, but a year later, this website has become a website with considerable commercial potential." However, we were interested in the works serialized on this website. The novels they serialized are not masterpieces, nor are they high and serious literature, but genre commercial literature. It's just that we wonder how they make money for this kind of commercial literature. ”
In addition, the US media has further studied this website. They commented: "There is a mature novel publishing market in the United States, and as long as the writers are slightly better, they can publish their works through various channels and get paid. Only those writers who write poorly, because they can't be published, will serialize their works over the Internet. Therefore, it remains to be seen whether this kind of work will be successful in serialized and updated works on the Internet. ”
However, the Japanese media closest to China seem to have studied WuxiaWord in more detail. They said: "Actually, Wuxiaword is another version, and most of the works serialized on it are Chinese online novels. Also, they are worried about the web novels serialized on Wuxiaword. Because, they found that more and more Japanese teenagers have read Chinese online novels through wuxiaword. ”
It's just that, after all, wuxiaword is still only a website that ranks 1000 in the world. Although this IP stream has also begun to take shape, it has not yet had much impact on the world. Although the media in various countries also paid attention, they did not pay enough attention to him, until when "Sword Breaking the Sky" entered the top ten hot words of the year in the global search engine, Chinese online novels shocked the world.
Harvard University professor "Stephen" said directly in his public class: "When we have been immersed in the success of the United States, we think that the United States is the cultural center of the world. China, which has a history of more than 5,000 years, has finally awakened. ”
Johnson, Dean of the Faculty of Arts at Cambridge Graduate School, said: "In the past, the world's cultural exports mainly came from Hollywood in the United States, anime in Japan, and Korean dramas in South Korea. But now, I think, after these three, we can add a Chinese online article, and list the world's four major cultural landscapes. ”
Liang Sheng, a professor at the Faculty of Arts at Hong Kong University, commented: "I remember that martial arts has always been a symbol of Chinese culture, but at that time it was just a kind of boasting in the media. In fact, Chinese martial arts have never really gone global. However, from now on, the situation of Chinese works not being able to go abroad will change. More and more Chinese online articles have captured all readers around the world. ”
Yes.
After more than 20 years of development, Chinese online novels have finally exploded into power.
If you're still skeptical, here are some of the things that readers from around the world have to say.
[Why do you like Chinese online novels, this, I don't know.] Although I haven't read many Chinese novels before, not to mention Chinese novels, even Chinese film and television dramas are rarely watched. At most, I've only read Japanese anime, Japanese light novels. As for why I like Chinese novels, I think he resonated with me. 】
[Why do I like Chinese online articles, this is also simple, because in these works, I see that the protagonist is full of ambition to achieve his goals. It's a tremendous motivation for us. 】
[Why do you like Chinese online articles, I don't know how to say it, it may be that I like the strength of the protagonist, this is simply an open-hanging existence. Well, while it may seem a little unreasonable, I just like it. 】
[Let me talk about it, maybe it's because of our democracy, Western novels are all the same drama, and there is no creativity at all. For example, the protagonist's behavior is basically "don't kill", "don't steal", pay attention to "freedom and equality", "abide by the rules" or something, and it's basically the thoughts of those brainwashed democratic slaves. But Chinese novels are "people don't kill the heavens and the earth for themselves", "hurt my little brother and kill your whole family", "Lao Tzu is the strongest, Lao Tzu has the final say", "A tooth for a tooth and an eye for an eye", "Haha, this fool is actually pretending to be forced in front of such a powerful me, it's really a perfect time to slap my face......"]
[Actually, I like only one point of view in Chinese online articles, that is, the protagonist is not Mr. Yes.] Of course, the protagonist can't be said to be bad, he just has his own principles, and he never does anything that is not good for himself. I think this is the right outlook on life. I'm really tired of the kind of protagonist who is the kind of protagonist who is someone else's mother when he has nothing to do. 】
[That's right, in fact, what attracts me about Chinese online articles is because the protagonist is so much in line with my taste. They will remain humble in front of those who can slap them to death, unlike many Japanese light novel protagonists, who act like arrogant bastards when faced with someone who can stab them to death with a single finger. 】
[If you want me to say, I like Chinese online articles because he is very innovative. This innovation was an eye-opener for me and fascinated by it. In my opinion, for Chinese online articles, as long as you can't think of it, there is nothing that can't be done. No matter how big your brain is, as long as you read these Chinese online articles, you will find that our imagination is so weak......] (To be continued. )
