Chapter 377: Opening Up a New Genre of Fiction!
Indeed, if it is only according to the single book, then "Xu Sanguan Selling Blood" must be enough, but the single book, it will take at least a month or so. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
One month is enough time for a lot to happen.
And this also means that Li Kuo has no way to update his data on the official website of the annual author contest during this month.
This is a loss......
So now Li Kuo is thinking about this issue.
"What if I speed things up?" Li Kuo said: "In terms of publishing books? ā
"It's unlikely ......," Fang Xi said to Li Kuo: "Do you have a manuscript now?" ā
"It can be completed in a few days, no more than five days at most...... Li Kuo said, "and the manuscript will be published directly after it comes out." ā
"In my experience, it's still hard to ...... And even if you can really write all these things in a month, the popularity will basically not get up by then, so it won't help the popularity of this month! Because our total popularity will be cumulative after that, if you plan to write a novel, it will definitely not be right in time, and the loss of your popularity will not be a trivial matter at that time. ā
"Hmm......" Li Kuo could only accept Fang Xi's statement, and he felt that it did make sense.
Publishing a novel, not serialized in a newspaper, not so fast.
However, novels like "Xu Sanguan Selling Blood", even if "East Poster Literary Edition" and Li Kuo are already quite familiar, they will basically release his novels, but whether this kind of novel can really arouse everyone's follow-up is really a bit hard to say, anyway, Li Kuo feels that this novel is not suitable for serialization in newspapers and magazines, but is more suitable for making a single book.
"Okay!" Li Kuo could only plan to write another novel.
"If you're deciding what novel you're going to write, I'd suggest you go a little faster." Fang Xi continued: "Because in the past few days, we will have a public announcement and a preview on the homepage, and when the time comes, we will announce each author's next work, what type will be given, and the author's words, there will be a notice...... Because your ranking last month was so high, your interface display will also be relatively high, so you have to prepare for this. ā
"Okay!"
Li Kuo pondered in his heart, this is also a good opportunity, after all, if he can show himself on the homepage, it is also a good warm-up for the release of the next works.
For example, if Li Kuo plans to release "Xu Sanguan Selling Blood", if he warms up a little on the Internet now, the sales will definitely be very good at that time.
But what should you post next month? Li Kuo began to struggle in his heart.
Suddenly he thought of a category......
At that moment, Li Kuo asked, "Why don't you ...... I'm going to try a new category. ā
"What's new?" Fang Xi was also a little looking forward to it.
Li Kuo has always been in the world of fiction, and it can be said that he is a relatively popular figure, and his novels can often bring some surprises to people.
Martial arts novels, tomb robbery novels...... There are also serious novels like "Medicine" before, which give people a strong sense of expectation, including the previous "Green Haired Water Monster", although it is not particularly popular, but it can still capture many readers, and there are still many readers who like this novel anyway.
Therefore, for the category of Li Kuo's new novels, Fang Xi himself is looking forward to it even as a reader.
"I'm going to write a sci-fi!" Li Kuo said.
"What? Science fiction? Fang Xi felt as if he had misheard.
"Yes, sci-fi." Li Kuo confirmed in the dialog box.
"But science fiction still has high requirements for authors, and scientific knowledge or something also has high requirements! Have you written about science fiction before? Will it be unacceptable to everyone? Fang Xi still couldn't help but say it.
Although he felt that saying this might offend Li Kuo, he still had to say it.
After all, science fiction is a kind of novel, and not everyone can write it, science fiction, the full name is science fiction, and there are two words in it.
Although Li Kuo's novels such as "Notes on Tomb Robbery" are particularly novel, including the subsequent martial arts novels, they have once again revived this type of novel...... But in terms of science fiction, everyone didn't see him show his special talent anyway, even if it was a little bit of a bit of science fiction, in fact, there was not much shadow of science fiction.
In "The Green-Haired Monster", the little bit of the sci-fi color carried by the green-haired monster here is actually just for the sake of serving and foreshadowing the friendship described here, as well as some of the issues discussed in this novel as foreshadowing, and there is no real sci-fi color.
So now Fang Xi's shock is understandable.
Of course, Li Kuo has also considered these issues.
It's just that there is less time now, and he can't think of much.
So, Li Kuo could only tell Fang Xi what he had just thought of.
"This science fiction novel should only be called soft science fiction!" Li Kuo said: "It's not from the perspective of real hard science fiction, nor does it want to clarify anything like science and technology, my novel is mainly in the storyline, not in its own science fiction value." The novel appeared first and foremost to make everyone feel entertaining, mainly to be able to increase popularity...... It's not about trying to achieve much artistic effect. ā
"Huh? Soft sci-fi? "This time and space doesn't have this kind of statement for soft and hard science fiction things, so Fang Xi is a little strange.
"Soft science fiction is now for hard science fiction, hard science fiction is mainly based on rigorous logic and science and technology, and some scientific principles are used as the basis for storytelling, while soft science fiction is more just a shell of science fiction, in fact, it is still telling a story, based on stories, not science and technology."
"Your analogy is still quite appropriate...... Fang Xi said: "However, will your soft science fiction essay be thankless at that time?" After all, your span is a bit too big! ā
"No, it won't!" Li Kuo said: "The artistry of this novel is indeed a bit lacking, but the structure in this novel is still very exquisite, and I believe that many people will find it good after reading it." ā
The confidence shown by Li Kuo did not infect Fang Xi much, Fang Xi still frowned, and then said, "If you have thought it through, then do it according to your ideas......
"Good!" Li Kuo nodded in agreement.
He now wants to open up a new genre of fiction, and it would be a little inappropriate for this novel to continue to be published in the East Poster Literary Edition, because the style of the newspaper is not very suitable for science fiction.
Li Kuo set his sights on another newspaper called Science Fiction Weekly. (To be continued.) )
