Chapter 41 Evidence-based

"Hehe, why do you say that!"

At this time, Zhang Xue calmed down and seemed calm. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoAlthough his heart is full of fear, years of social training have also made him at least look calm.

After all, it is a very bad thing to be angry with a new author, if it spreads, wouldn't you be laughed to death by the literary world.

Moreover, if he was really poked in the soft underbelly by this kid, it would really be a matter of laughing off his big teeth.

So, all he can do now is stay calm, at least on the surface.

August Man made a gesture and signaled Zheng Long to stop quickly and not make the magazine too difficult.

Zheng Long didn't pay attention to it at all.

After all, if you want to become a real overlord in the literary world, these little ants in front of you will have to be cleaned up one by one sooner or later.

Pack up one early and one late, it's all the same.

"As far as I know, the articles you create are mainly suspense-based, mainly written for teenagers, and still follow the traditional suspense setting route. Am I right? ”

Everyone in the audience will turn their heads to Zheng Long for a while, and then look at Zhang Xue on the stage together, this kind of thing is always the most comfortable to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight.

Although Zhang Xue also tried his best to pick out the thorn from Zheng Long's words, he was powerless to refute this because this was a statement of basic facts.

"So what? What does it mean? My target audience is the kind of novel that they like, and they think the suspense I've set up is climactic and exciting. In the past few years, I have been at the top of the literary sales list! What about you? What books have you published? Why are you talking nonsense here? ”

Zheng Long did not pay attention to Zhang Xue's rebuttal, but continued to analyze calmly:

"This type of book is not suitable for writing a long story, especially in the Chinese environment, too many themes cannot be written, and too many themes are not suitable for writing. The reason why these suspense themes in Europe, the United States and Japan are so rich is because they have a high degree of freedom in their writing environment, and there are many opportunities for their works to be adapted into TV series and movies in the future. The reason for the popularity of this genre in recent years is that there have never been or very few works of this genre before, but once the market is saturated, readers will no longer buy it. And, there's a deeper reason..."

Zhang Xue subconsciously rushed out:

"What is it?"

As soon as he said it, he regretted it. Of course, on this occasion, he couldn't change his words, he could only hold on, so he had to hum twice.

The ears of the people stood taller.

"And, the more fundamental problem is that even in the realm of suspense literature, you're not really the best writer."

"Hahaha!"

Zhang Xue burst out laughing.

Li Yaoce and Liu Yu also felt that Zheng Kong should be crazy...

August Man was messy in the wind, he didn't know that Zheng Long, who had always spoken and acted calmly and logically, would actually say such a thing...

Hu Future was also speechless...

After all, in the Chinese literary scene in 2001, if you want to say that Zhang Xue writes better than Zhang Xue in the suspense literature category, there is really no one.

Of course, in terms of article skills, someone may be able to surpass Zhang Xue, but in terms of work sales, that Zhang Xue can be said to be unmatched.

"Hehe, it's really ignorant and fearless, I don't even bother to refute you!"

Zheng Long said calmly:

"I know you scoff at my words. But you have to be clear that the masses of the people are the real creators, you and I are both writers, and we all know that there are actually a lot of geniuses among those literature lovers, some of them because they have no opportunity to publish, some because they are too busy with work and study to keep writing, and some because they are slightly lacking in writing. Do you think that just by comparing ideas and the ability to plan the layout of the article, you can really be better than everyone in China? ”

Zhang Xue didn't know what was going on behind her back, and suddenly she was in a cold sweat, as if she had been hit the point all of a sudden.

Yes, in terms of creative ability, Zhang Xue's suspense works can be said to be a short general, although it is good by the standards of 2001, but there is obviously still a big gap compared with the works of those suspense masters in the West, let alone comparable to the classics. It's just that because Huaxia's suspense novels have just started and have not yet reached the level they should have, there are almost no people with good writing and layout, which has made Zhang Xue, a vertical man, famous.

And what Zheng Long said about the fact that there are masters among folk literature lovers is basically common sense for people who have experienced the era of online novels. In Zheng Long's later life, online writing was simply commonplace, and the genres and ideas of online novels were simply ever-changing, and they were not comparable to physical published novels at all, which also gave many people who were originally unknown and had nowhere to publish their works ample opportunities to realize their literary dreams.

And Zheng Long, because of his rebirth, knew that it would not take a few years for online literary websites to rise, and Zhang Xue, a writer who survived on "idea" in the traditional publishing industry, would almost starve to death. In the publishing industry, on the contrary, there are those pure literary writers who are still sticking to their own pure land in the later generations when online literature is popular.

Zhang Xue was speechless.

August Man also fell silent, he remembered Zheng Long's serialization of the novel "Phantom City" published under the banyan tree, which had reached more than 200,000 readers and more than 5,000 comments, which seemed to traditional literary magazines to be like a fantasy. However, he also vaguely sensed the arrival of a new generation.

"Zhang Xue, I'll tell you directly here today. I already have a novel to publish, a long version of "Phantom City" that you hold in your hand! I bet you, my novels will sell more than you! ”

Zhang Xue was stunned, and didn't know what to say for a while.

It took several seconds before he burst into laughter:

"Hahahaha, hahahaha, you're really funny! I've seen a lot of newcomers like you, you're the craziest one in it, and the stupidest one in it! Good! I accept your challenge! The book I challenged was my next novel, and the culmination of my last decade! ”

Hu Future hurriedly asked:

"Zhang Xue, are you finally going to finish "Future Guardian"? When will it be published? Do you want our magazine to help you find a publishing house? ”

Zhang Xue glanced at Hu Future, thinking to herself, you guy, you didn't jump out just now, and now I said that you want to come out again to get a piece of the pie, so I said:

"Editor Hu, let's talk about this matter later, now it's my matter with him."

Hu Future had no choice but to keep his mouth shut...

The August people are crying out in their hearts...

Although Zhang Xue's writing level is not particularly good, she has accumulated popularity for about ten years, and there are still a large number of die-hard readers. He has been intermittently serializing a novel, called "Future Guardian", which is about a teenager who is involved in a long-dusty family past, which also involves the legend of vampire families such as France and Italy, etc., which can be said to be the most popular in Zhang Xue's works.

If you take this book and Zheng Long's book to face each other, Zheng Long will definitely lose!
