Chapter 117: Zhiwei Novel
Wang Kai has always been very fond of supernatural works.
Zhang Yun, Qianshan, Ximu, Zhou Zhi, and the previously famous March ...... Casually, Wang Kai can name these well-known supernatural writers.
It's just that he has been watching the supernatural of these people, and Wang Kai is also a little aesthetically fatigued.
Just like today, even if he went to the bookstore, Wang Kai didn't go to Zhang Yun's new book, he was going to see if there were any works by other authors. It's just a pity that after picking for more than ten minutes, there are works by other authors, but the writing is very average, so it's better to look at some well-known authors like Zhang Yun.
Hey, the cover of this novel looks very novel.
was picking up supernatural works, and at this time, a work with a very good-looking cover appeared in front of Wang Kai's eyes.
This is an antique cover, the cover is painted with two people, a man and a woman, the man is wearing a blue coat, carrying a shelf for reading in ancient times, I don't know if it's a shelf, anyway. The woman was dressed in white, and her expression was half smiling and half sad. Half pure, half delicate...... Very temperamental.
This cover is really amazing.
Don't talk about the content first, this cover alone is already very attractive.
I can't help but pick up this work, the name of the work is A Chinese Ghost Story, author, Fan Chen.
A Chinese Ghost Story, the name is very poetic, but the author of this mortal dust seems to have never heard of it.
It's okay if I haven't heard of it, but I like to read some new authors' works lately.
The cover painting style of this work is so beautiful, thinking about it, the content should not be bad.
opened it casually, and after just watching it for more than ten minutes, Wang Kai was attracted by this work.
To be precise, I was attracted by the style of A Chinese Ghost Story.
This is a ghost story with an ancient style, which is completely different from the supernatural novels that Wang Kai has read before. There's no horror, there's no suspense, and there's no scary stuff in this work. However, he is also talking about ghosts. But the ghost in this has become sentient, and the ghost in this has become the same as human, with the same personality as human, happy and angry.
It's good-looking, it's so good-looking.
I've long been tired of seeing the kind of works that guide ghosts to mystery and horror. Wang Kai was overjoyed, but he kept chattering in his heart, "Could it be that ghosts are synonymous with horror, is it true that ghosts are symbols of suspense novels, and ghosts can't have the same thoughts as people." The previous supernatural novels were too narrow, and it is no wonder that the more supernatural novels are written, the more they are written, the more niche they become. ”
Without a word, Wang Kai bought A Chinese Ghost Story on the spot.
Like Wang Kai, after a period of time when A Chinese Ghost Story was listed, A Chinese Ghost Story finally burst out of his potential.
The first is the score in terms of storytelling, almost all of the friends who bought A Chinese Ghost Story gave the book a high score of more than 9 points. This gave a Chinese Ghost Story the basis for the outbreak of the contrarian trend, when some curious friends tried to find A Chinese Ghost Story, and tried to see what kind of work could achieve a high score of more than 9 points, suddenly, these readers also became fans of A Chinese Ghost Story after finding A Chinese Ghost Story.
Of course, this is only the beginning of a Chinese ghost story's outbreak.
Next, when A Chinese Ghost Story was once purchased by the public and brought home, the plot of A Chinese Ghost Story quickly became the focus of discussion in the supernatural novel circle.
Whether it is the protagonist Ning Caichen or the heroine Nie Xiaoqian.
Or Yan Chixia, Sima Sanniang, Red Leaves, Seven Nights Saint......
Or the Tears of the Blue Devil, the City of Tears.
These plots have completely exploded most of the current supernatural works. No, not most, if not all, of the paranormal works.
However, what makes A Chinese Ghost Story a dark horse the most is an article from youth literature and art.
This article begins with a review of supernatural novels, introducing the current supernatural novels in China.
The author said that supernatural novels originated from the folklore of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period of China, and developed into legends of Zhiwei in the Tang and Song dynasties. In the Ming and Qing dynasties, Zhiwei novels reached their peak, and many famous novels emerged. Among the four famous novels, Journey to the South belongs to the Zhiwei novel series. This kind of strange novel was very popular at that time, and it was also the most popular genre of works. The author satirizes the current class with Zhiwei novels, and readers use the bizarre and plump plots of Zhiwei novels as spiritual food. It can be said that the artistic value of Zhiwei novels is very large. At present, Chinese majors in various universities will conduct in-depth research and discussion on Zhiwei novels.
It's just that the development of Zhiwei novels has begun to decline in modern times. In modern times, the novel has completely become a supernatural novel. The content is no longer a satire of society, nor is it a metaphor for people. Rather, it is terrifying, suspenseful, thrilling, and scary...... Mainly, it has completely deviated from the path of Zhiwei novels. It is precisely this deviation that has made the Zhiwei novel, which was originally the mainstream, a niche work.
I didn't intend to find a series of works in a newspaper before, and I was shocked for a while.
Its author "Fan Chen" made a chat about the bite of the ghost, the corpse changes, the person in the ear, the meaning is profound.
The most eye-catching are the other two works, Song Dingbo's ghost hunting and ghost mocking master.
Song Dingbo's ghost hunting is about a mortal who encounters a ghost while walking at night, and uses his ingenuity to catch the ghost alive.
This article reads somewhat illogically, but it is very instructive. It is recommended that experts and relevant departments in education should read it carefully.
Another ghost mocking the master is even more impressive. This article believes that literati have a literary temperament, and those with high talents can be comparable to the stars, competing with day and night. The second one also has ** zhang, illuminating one side. Again, it is like an oil lamp, although it cannot illuminate thousands of thousands, it can also illuminate the direction. This work is very novel in terms of setting and meaning, and it has infinitely elevated the status of readers.
I think that he has inherited and developed Hua Guozhiwei novels very well.
If the author can continue to write, he may be able to open up a stream of schools and achieve everyone.
It's just a pity that the Liaozhai series was only serialized for more than a dozen issues at that time, and then disappeared.
I tried to find the author who could write about Liaozhai, but I couldn't find it.
Just when I thought that I would never see such a shocking article as Liao Zhai in my life, a work of A Chinese Ghost Story appeared in front of my eyes.
At that time, this work was recommended to me by a student, and the student said that it was the best supernatural work he had ever seen, and I didn't care about it. It's just that when I saw that the author on A Chinese Ghost Story was writing about mortal dust, I was overjoyed in my heart and read it happily.
The feeling after reading it did not disappoint me, Fan Chen is still that Fan Chen, this work of A Chinese Ghost Story once again presents the essence of his Liao Zhai series of works, no, but it highlights the significance of Zhiwei novels. The novel uses ghosts as metaphors to describe ghosts as human beings. has its own personality, has its own likes and angers, and even, dares to love and hate more than others. In addition, this novel integrates the dispute between the devil and the righteous path in a more popular way, which can be said to be a very wonderful drama of Zhiwei.
Of course, the only drawback is that A Chinese Ghost Story may be influenced by film and television dramas, and there are more sadistic scenes in the works, and the love triangle is just that, and a four-cornered love is actually made. Love comes and goes, and I, an old pedant, have some unbearable feelings. However, this is only a minor drawback. Aside from this small shortcoming, A Chinese Ghost Story is one of the best supernatural works in Huaguo in 2015.
Five stars: highly recommended.

PS: The star rating of traditional literary writers is not the same as that of online writers, traditional literature only has 10 stars, but online literature is 13 stars. The reason why it is different is that online literature has not yet been incorporated into the traditional literary writer system, nor is it recognized by the traditional literary circle. I'm worried that everyone will be suspicious, so I hereby explain. After explaining, Xiaobai continued to code words.
