Chapter 146: Western Illusion Turns to Immortal
Tong Yan sat by the pond for two hours, he didn't come to feed the mosquitoes, these two hours, his ideological struggle was very fierce, no less than a hearty hey, although he didn't know what a hearty hey was like, regret.
Approaching the start of school, Tong Yan not only suffered the sadness of being separated from Song Rao, but also suffered a double blow or test of old books and new books.
The old book "Rage Thunder" has completed 1.3 million words, and just when it was about to end, Tong Yan finally encountered a bottleneck, and the finale had been pre-set, but because of several changes in his previous past, there was a large narrative deviation, and it was difficult to turn back to his predetermined track.
Originally, this is nothing, the outline is very necessary, but if it is completely rigid and rigid according to the outline, it will limit a lot of whimsical ideas and make the work tend to be mediocre, the reason why "Furious Thunder" is so wonderful is because Tong Yan dares to break the rules and regulations set by himself, and from time to time he makes a divine turn to make the reader breathtaking, which greatly increases the readability of the novel.
But this time, because there are too many twists, Tong Yan gave up the original ending idea, then he must think of a better one, the plot in the middle can be vague, but the ending must be brilliant, Tong Yan does not expect that he wrote this story to be passed down through the ages, but at least the reader can have some aftertaste after reading it.
At this time, Tong Yan's thinking was very active, and he could think of three or four new endings when he went to the toilet, but if he thought about it carefully, he felt that it was not exciting enough, and he did not have the strength he wanted.
Because of the uncertainty of an ending, Tong Yan put a lot of energy, and even some of the written manuscripts were pushed to rewrite by him, and the amount of updates directly led to a decrease, and now Tong Yan can only guarantee one update every day, although his readers basically know that he has started school. And there are still ten months to take the college entrance examination, I understand and support such a speed, but the support on the monthly pass is not reflected, "Rage Thunder" fell directly from the fourth place in the monthly pass list in August to the eighth place, if the speed can't be improved, it is very likely to fall out of the top ten.
While the ending of the old book is difficult. Tong Yan's new book also encountered problems, his new book is tentatively titled "The King of the Magic Kingdom", the Western fantasy genre, which tells the story of a human king who begins to learn magic after reaching the peak of his power, and pursues higher personal strength and longevity.
Tong Yan has not read many Western fantasy novels, namely "Mad God", "Face-Changing Samurai" and "Blasphemy", in order to write this novel, he deliberately flipped through books such as Lanjing's "Magic Apprentice". I have a general understanding of how to write Western Fantasy.
This year,Xiuzhen novels have had a downward trend,06In the first half of the year, there was only one "Buddha is the Way" that made people shine, and Western magic novels have not yet come to decline, they are still the favorite of most online readers, Tong Yan's choice of Western fantasy themes at this time is definitely wise.
After borrowing the style of several classic Western fantasy novels, Tong Yan tried to write a few beginnings, some of which were full of translation. In addition to the names and moves of some people, they are almost the same as oriental fantasy, and some find a balance between the two.
Tong Yan finally found the style that he could most accept. After all, he didn't read so much European and American literature, and forcibly westernized it completely, and with his ability, it would only end up being nondescript, so there would be such an adaptation.
While struggling to write an old book, Tong Yan also began to conceive a new book outline. And wrote some paragraphs sporadically, when he wrote it he was full of passion, the song of magic, the blood of knights, fierce monsters, handsome elves, these Western fantasy elements are little by little integrated into his outline and the flesh and bones of the novel, which is a very novel experience. But when he writes it and then reads it, he always doesn't like it, and he doesn't feel like he reads other people's novels.
In the end, Tong Yan sadly found that maybe he was really not suitable for writing Western fantasy themes, he had never even played Warcraft, and he knew very little about the terms needed to use magic novels, or maybe his skills were not enough, and he couldn't tell stories smoothly in a cultural background that was unfamiliar to him, so that how awkward it was to watch.
The distressed Tong Yan needed to find a place to be quiet, and the classroom was already being filled with classmates, becoming more and more noisy, so Tong Yan had to go to the pond to think.
The result of thinking is that Tong Yan may really not be able to control the Western fantasy theme, so the new book must change the genre!
Tong Yan knows that the reason why Dream into the Divine Machine can sign a platinum contract as a newcomer is because the book "Buddha is the Way" is unprecedented for the development of the genre of Xianxia Xiuzhen, and it has injected fresh blood into Xiuzhen novels.
Tong Yan also likes Xianxia Xiuzhen novels, and his favorite is the strange book "Zhu Xian" that has not yet been written, this book he bought a physical book to read, in the online novel, the setting of "Zhu Xian" is not the most rigorous, the world structure is not the grandest, and the plot is not the most refreshing, but the emotions are delicate, the text is beautiful, the characters are vivid, and the theme is atmospheric, which is the key to her ability to conquer hundreds of millions of readers.
Based on these two considerations, Tong Yan decided to position the subject of his next book as Xianxia Xiuzhen.
Because he had already put a lot of effort into the book "The King of the Magic Kingdom", Tong Yan didn't want his efforts to be completely in vain, so he tried his best to tear down the settings in the book "Magic" and use it in the new book he conceived, to put it bluntly, it was to turn a Western fantasy outline into a Xiuzhen novel.
After having this idea, Tong Yan was very excited, and removed the Western elements from the original idea, and filled it with the cultivation method and treasure weapon, but he didn't expect the effect to be good.
So the synopsis of the novel became, an emperor in the secular world, at a young age, ascended to the great treasure, worked hard, relieved the country's internal and external troubles, and let the people live and work in peace and contentment, while the emperor also lost the goal of life and began to covet pleasure.
At this time, a chance opportunity allowed him to come into contact with the cultivation realm, which opened a new door for him.
In the setting of this book, the emperor of the secular world is not worth mentioning at all in the eyes of powerful cultivators with a long lifespan, at the beginning the emperor used his secular identity to search for resources and use them to cultivate, but in fact, he has just touched the threshold of cultivation, if he wants to truly become a cultivator and have an endless lifespan, he must give up his one qiē in the secular world and devote himself to the real sect of cultivation, so although he has an imperial heart, he must start from scratch like all mortals.
Sitting on the edge of the pond, Tong Yan put himself into the role of the emperor, whether he would give up his powerful empire, the three thousand beauties of the harem and the emperor's status in his hands for an ethereal dream of immortality.
In ancient China, there were indeed many emperors who were obsessed with Taoism and longed for immortality, such as Qin Shi Huang, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Emperor Jiajing of the Ming Dynasty, etc., but none of them really gave up the throne for the sake of immortality.
Therefore, Tong Yan thinks that the simple temptation of immortality is not enough to make a majestic emperor give up his qiē, so Tong Yan wants to add a love clue.
The ruthless emperor doesn't need love, he only needs a woman who inherits the lineage, but what if this woman is completely different from his concubine, if this woman is a mysterious female cultivator, what if this woman is the one who opened the door to the world of cultivation for him?
Tong Yan began to sketch out the image of a fairy in white clothes and untouched mortal dust in his mind, this image was vague at first, until Ye Qingzhu suddenly appeared, Tong Yan suddenly became clear, it was her, wasn't she the fairy in her mind!
Tong Yan doesn't know many women, and his ability to portray women is far from enough, in order to better shape the female characters in the novel, he often finds feelings from the women around him, the most typical is the delicate and willful eldest lady Duo Ting in "Furious Thunder", when Lao Song saw this character, Song Rao's behavior flashed in his mind for the first time, and Tong Yan also portrayed Duo Ting according to Song Rao's character, and they had not officially established their relationship at that time.
Now, Tong Yan needs to create a female monk who is dedicated to immortals and obsessed with the avenue, she has no seven emotions and six desires, she is lonely and cold, and she is refracted to reality, isn't Ye Qingzhu the best portrayal!
Therefore, Tong Yan couldn't help but greedily glance at Ye Zi a few more times, hoping that she could bring more inspiration to herself.
Ye Qingzhu was very uncomfortable by Tong Yan, and he was unhappy in his heart, but he still reminded him, "You've been sitting here for two classes, aren't you going to go to the classroom today." ”
"What two classes, I just sat down."
Ye Qingzhu pointed to his wrist, Tong Yan raised his hand to look at his watch, "Damn, why is it so late!" Oh no, I haven't written my summer homework yet! No more talking, I'll go first! ”
Ye Qingzhu frowned and walked back to the classroom slowly.
After returning home, Zhou Hao took advantage of his parents' inattention, sneaked into the study, turned on his father's computer, and began to search for Tong Yan Wuji on the Internet.
Because this is a commonly used idiom, Zhou Hao did not find any effective information, so he changed the keywords to "Tong Yan Wuji Biqu Ge www.biquge.info" and "Tong Yan Wuji Angry Thunder", which was successful.
I don't know if I don't search, I was startled by a search, Zhou Hao first clicked into a post on the Longkong Forum about the 17-year-old genius writer Tong Yan Wuji, and then plunged into Tong Yan Wuji's interview with Sanjiang, and finally he clicked into a popular book review post about where Tong Yan Wuji went to high school, because Tong Yan Wuji's information shows that he is from Ji Province, so the range of speculation is much smaller, relying on some of the words that Tong Yan Wuji said in the readership, many people targeted Yangping, and some people directly pointed out that they claimed to be good at learning, It is very likely that the unscrupulous god who is not difficult to take the exam will come from the famous Yangping No. 1 Middle School.
"Yangping No. 1 Middle School, is it really the same school as me?" Zhou Hao instantly spartan, this, how is it possible! (To be continued......)
