At 0:30 in the morning, not long after the 'Jianghu' APP was launched, a related topic quietly became popular on major literary forums and post bars.
The topic is about the "storytelling version" of Jin Guliang's new book "Amorous Swordsman Ruthless Sword" on the 'Jianghu' APP.
"The Amorous Swordsman Ruthless Sword" book review version, a new "listening and reading" experience, I feel hot!
"Today, Jin Guliang's new book is online, I got off the 'Jianghu' APP, and there is a storytelling version of its previous promotion, I was a little curious, and then I couldn't stop at all, I can only say that the storyteller's ventriloquism is too rebellious, too pictured. ”
"Jin Guliang, this guy is simply a ghost!"
“。 ”
With the appearance of this related topic on major literary forums and post bars, it quickly attracted the attention of many netizens.
Many people think that this is the hype carried out by Ye's company to hire a water army, because the 'Jianghu' APP has just been launched, and it needs to hype up the topic, which has become a common practice.
However, there is a saying called 'practice is the only criterion for testing the truth", and many netizens still curiously downloaded the 'Jianghu' APP and listened to the storytelling version of "The Amorous Swordsman Ruthless Sword", wanting to see whether the rumors are true or false.
As a result, when their group finished trying, the topic began to become completely popular.
"I didn't believe that the storytelling version of "Amorous Swordsman Ruthless Sword" on the 'Jianghu APP' was so good, but after trying it, I realized that the original reading form of the novel can be so exciting. “
Different from modern audio novels, the storytelling version of the Jianghu APP cites the folk art of storytelling, which makes the novel more impactful. “
The direct effect of the enthusiastic response from netizens is that the number of downloads of the 'Jianghu APP' has soared.
At 0:00 a.m. the next day, Ye's company officially released the number of downloads of the "Jianghu APP" on the first day of launch, 1803229.
Excluding the trial version launched at the beginning, the Jianghu app was launched 24 hours on the first day, increasing the number of downloads by nearly 1.1 million.
The enthusiastic response of netizens to the "Storytelling Edition" and the explosive growth of the first day of downloads of the Jianghu APP, this "linking" phenomenon has not only attracted attention from all walks of life in the literary circle, but also attracted the attention of the media industry.
The media, which has always been sensitive to the topic, has set its sights on storytelling, a non-governmental industry that has been labeled as a "World Cultural Heritage" and is declining.
According to the daily news report, at 0:00 o'clock in the New Year yesterday, the martial arts master Jin Guliang released a new book "Amorous Swordsman Ruthless Sword", which was serialized on an APP software called "Jianghu". Among them, the storytelling version of "Amorous Swordsman Ruthless Sword" launched on this software has been commented by many readers and netizens, causing heated discussions. It seems that people in the information age seem to have rekindled their interest in "storytelling", a dying folk art."
"The storytelling industry flourished from the Republic of China to the early days of reform and opening up, but with the advent and high development of the Internet era in later generations, this traditional folk art is difficult to sustain. Nowadays, Jin Guliang, the first person in martial arts, has cross-industry cooperation with traditional storytelling art? Can the combination of storytelling and martial arts novels be successful?" -- Youth Digest
Under the hype of the outside media, the traditional folk art of "storytelling" has returned to the eyes of the world, and the software of "Jianghu" APP has also attracted the attention of people from different industries.
In this hot weather, the major websites in the literary circle have also set off a wave of "storytelling", and major reading apps, such as "Lazy Listening to Books" and "Mimi Reading", have launched novel review editions to keep up with the pace.
At Kyungyo University, a professor specializing in traditional art published a paper on this phenomenon.
The paper argues that despite the fast-paced nature of the information society due to the limitations of the Internet era, traditional art has been increasingly protected and valued with the development of the times, and each art has its essence and the possibility of rejuvenation. There is an inevitable reason why the "storytelling" industry has received enthusiastic attention recently, because with the rapid development of online literature, e-reading and audio novels are becoming more and more popular. And "storytelling novels" just introduce the art of "storytelling" into audio novels, enriching them.
Jin Guliang was also mentioned in the paper, commenting that he just grasped a point that others did not expect, which caused an unexpected effect.
As mentioned above, this is indeed a surprising coincidence.
After the book review version of "Amorous Swordsman Ruthless Sword" became popular, even Ye Chen, the "initiator" of this matter, was a little surprised, this was a result he hadn't thought of before.
His idea is actually very simple, and it also has its own intentions. When he was teaching in Changyun Village Primary School, when he told the children and villagers about "The Legend of the White Lady", many people liked to listen to it. At that time, he came up with the idea that if the novel was told in the way of storytelling, would it be more popular.
Moreover, there is an important thing that if he wants to write Gu Long's works, the difference in style between his style and Jin and Liang is too great, and he will definitely be questioned by reading. On the contrary, Gu Long's works are very suitable for storytelling because of their strange style, and if readers question them, he can use "works written by deliberately adjusting the style of writing in order to launch a storytelling version" to prevaricate readers. Such ideas and intentions hit it off and were seamless, and he was naturally happy.
Unexpectedly, his simple idea to launch a new book review version caused a "storytelling trend" in the literary business circle, which was really "unintentionally inserted into the willows".
After such a small fire, the number of downloads of Jianghu APP has made a lot of progress, but after all, the content is too lacking, and the main selling point is his works, and the customer base is too small. And both of the video and audio are rotten things on the Internet, and there are no exclusive resources, so the number of downloads will rise to the limit later, and it can't rise.
However, Ye Chen is not in a hurry, the meal has to be eaten one bite at a time, and it is impossible to eat a big fat man in one go. He founded his own company and launched the Jianghu APP, because he has his own big ambitions, and he wants to go slowly step by step, because he has opened a plug-in and has literature, film and television, and music resources in his head that are not available in this world, so even if the outside world is not optimistic, he is not in a hurry.
He just needs time.
Taking advantage of the small popularity of the Jianghu APP, Ye's company hired a water army to recruit troops in major literary post bars and forums in the literary circle, and welcomed authors to contribute. He wanted to start with the literature section.
Ye Chen had long thought that it was completely impossible to rely on himself. However, fortunately, his appeal in the circle is not weak, and after throwing out the call for papers, many authors submitted.
As the company slowly grew, the original manpower was definitely insufficient, and later the company recruited four more employees.
In this way, Ye's company gradually got on the right track.
Later, the company gradually got on the right track, so he didn't need to stare at it every day, this time, he was going back to school after almost half a year of leave.
