Chapter Ninety-Eight: The Platinum Age
In the spring of his twenties, Fan Jun made a crucial choice between "continuing his studies" and "becoming a full-time online writer", for which he took half an hour to handwrite a withdrawal application, which included punctuation marks in a total of 11 words: I can't read anymore, let me go.
He has long been unbearable with his current college life, boring courses, teachers with no charisma, fake student unions, classmates who immediately turn their faces for thousands of dollars in grants, and ...... Girlfriend who broke up.
This has become a place of decay in his eyes, a place of sadness in his heart.
Even so, the decision to drop out of school is still not so easy, and all kinds of resistance stand in the way, affecting the whole body.
Like all the people who are bound in this world, Fan Jun didn't have the courage to tell his family at first, he didn't dare to enter the society with his bare hands, and he didn't have the confidence to face the school's doubts, and he was in a dilemma.
Until one day, I accidentally saw a novel "Breaking the Sky" that was being sealed on the Chinese network, and I just casually flipped through the first seven or eight chapters, and I couldn't help but fall into it.
He found a strange resonance in the protagonist of the novel, which is secondary, and most importantly, he found that the novel can be written like this, and the original online novel can also be written so exciting.
Like a pedestrian who has been lost for a long time and is exhausted in the middle of the night and suddenly sees a brightly lit village, Fan Jun finally finds the path that he has been longing for in his heart.
Soon after, Fan Jun serialized his novel "Sword Against the Nine Heavens" under the pseudonym of "Fan Junzhongju", the beginning of the waste material plus divorce, the setting and the main line are basically directly picked, this kind of writing almost became a tumor in the Internet a few years later, but at the beginning of the trend. Extremely popular with readers.
The book "Sword Reversal" received the signing information of the winner at the time of 30,000 words, and then pushed it all the way to the shelves. The collection has reached 20,000 and is on the shelves on the same day. The first order score of 24 hours exceeded 1,005.
For a rookie fantasy author, this achievement is definitely excellent, as long as the level is maintained, it is only a matter of time before the breakthrough is made.
Today, this book can bring Fan Jun an income of six or seven thousand per month, which is comparable to the monthly salary of an ordinary white-collar worker.
It was the success of this book that provided Fan Jun with enough confidence, and at the same time made him more deeply aware that it is not easy to make money. You can't afford to be so cheap for this inactive school.
And when he learned more about the various flamboyant behaviors of his idol on the fifth floor of the twelve cities, he strengthened his determination to break with the school authorities.
In the stage of shaping a person's stable three views, the power of idols often has an immeasurable impact on him.
Fan Jun reads all the books on the fifth floor and the twelve cities, and at the same time pays attention to all the news related to Ning Qingzhou, and he is definitely a loyal fan of Ning Qingzhou.
Fan Jun occasionally takes pride in the fact that he and Ning Qingzhou are in the same industry, so when Dou Po finished the book, he was enthusiastic and wrote a book review of 3,000 words full of emotion. He posted a long book review again, and wrote at the end of the book review: "Looking forward to the great new book of the Twelve Cities! ”
However, less than an hour after his book review was sent. The fifth floor and the twelve cities announced the closure of the pen.
Fan Jun once suspected that he had read it wrong, or that he had misunderstood, so he read the single chapter several times.
He said goodbye here and met elsewhere;
He said that he went quietly, as he came quietly;
He said that the excitement is unabated, and goodbye can be expected;
He said that the fifth floor and the twelve cities were officially sealed.
There is no mistake in reading and understanding, because the home page of the winner was then hung out with the topic of the twelve cities sealing the pen.
"His presence is a great honor for us, therefore. We give him the highest respect for his departure. ”
Fan Jun sat in front of the computer. There was a long silence, not knowing what to think. After a long time, he logged in to the author's background and sent a single chapter asking for leave: The pen on the fifth floor and the twelve cities have been sealed, and his mind is blank, so I won't write it today, don't wait.
It stands to reason that the twelve cities will have more opportunities to vacate the gods and resources, and they should be glad for this, but for some reason, Fan Jun has never been happy, and he is depressed in his heart, and there is a kind of sadness that he can't cry.
On this day, even the opponent who once regarded the fifth floor and the twelve cities as the number one enemy expressed his respect.
The former first person in the online literature called him "the first opponent to bring me frustration", and said that he looked forward to the day he returned, "a longer and shorter".
On the morning of March 10, Fan Junzhongju published a long post "Platinum Age" commemorating the seal of the 12 cities on the fifth floor on the Haiyu Forum, in which Fan Jun called the period from "Panlong" to "The Legend of Mortal Cultivation of Immortals" "The Platinum Age in the History of Internet Literature".
No matter how many years have passed, when someone wants to write history for online literature, they must not be able to avoid the platinum age in the history of online literature, and they must not be able to avoid the five floors and twelve cities that single-handedly created this platinum age.
Panlong, Dou Po, Mortal, Infinite Terror, Hui Ming, Full-time Master and Ghost Blowing Lamp, each book can be called a masterpiece of its own category, I think, this may also be one of the reasons why the Twelve Cities chose to seal the pen, look around, and there is no opponent.
If you think about it carefully, there is actually no need to be sad, after all, he left seven books for everyone to read, after all, some books can be read many times.
It took me one night to figure it out......"
The post then introduced the fact that he was influenced by the Twelve Cities to enter the online literature circle, in which he modestly called the Twelve Cities his "spiritual guide".
This post is wonderful, sincere, and combined with his own real experience, so it has been supported by many sea fish netizens, and has been on the homepage since the post was issued.
Thus spread the talk of the "Platinum Age".
Jiang Hanxue sent this post to Ning Qingzhou, and after reading it, Ning Qingzhou replied: "This is the reason why I dare not read comments on the Internet every time I announce my withdrawal, I am afraid that I will be too soft-hearted for a while, and I will go back." ”
……
Paying attention to the news of Ning Qingzhou's pen closure naturally can't be only in the online literature circle, when Shenzhou has entered 102 years, including Cao Zihuan, general manager of Jian'an, can't help but re-mention the old things with several subordinates: "Sealed pen? It seems that he is really going to fulfill the so-called 'three-year covenant' and is ready to make a comeback. ”
Sima Zhongda said: "It's just that I haven't seen him for three years, and my popularity has long fallen to the bottom, how can it be so easy to make a comeback?" ”
Cao Zihuan probably agreed to this opinion, his expression was relaxed, and he asked casually: "Tell me, what way will he choose to make a comeback?" (To be continued.) )
ps: Write on your phone, send it on your phone. I kind of admire myself
