Chapter 48: The Controversy Between the Two Factions
(Thanks to the Wanderer in the Troubled Times for his tip)
Since someone asks about the new book, it is natural that there will be some people who have already finished reading the serialization to share.
"Nanda's new book is called "Sou Shen Ji", which is about the great wilderness world before the Three Emperors and Five Emperors, although it is only a short 30,000 words, but it can be seen that this is not the same type of novel as the previous "Zhu Xian" at all."
"This book has a grand background, and it has a sense of heaviness that is different from "Zhu Xian", although there is only one beginning, but I believe it will definitely not be weaker than "Zhu Xian".
The best way to comment on the quality of a book is to compare, and now the only one that can be compared with the new book "Sou Shen Ji" is "Zhu Xian", which is also from Lin Nan.
But as soon as I saw such a comment, there were naturally many fans of "Zhu Xian" who had not read Lin Nan's new book: "How is it possible, "Zhu Xian" cannot be surpassed, even Nanshan Yi can't!" ”
As soon as such remarks appeared, they naturally triggered a fierce debate between Lin Nanfan and Zhuxian fan, and in the end, it even directly evolved into a scolding battle.
This made Lin Nan also have a slight headache, if these two groups of people were allowed to quarrel like this, then in the end, the biggest loss would definitely be himself, so he also hurriedly posted a meager article hoping to solve this matter:
"I just went online and found that many book friends had a heated discussion about the merits of "Zhu Xian" and the new book "Sou Shen Ji", which is actually something I don't want to see, because in the end, no matter who convinces whom, it is not a good thing for me......
"Zhu Xian" and "Sou Shen Ji" are two novels with completely different themes, with different themes and different methods of expression, so naturally they have their own advantages and disadvantages......
In the process of re-creating "Sou Shen Ji", I also absorbed the excellent characteristics of some classical masterpieces, blending mythology, romance, geography, humanities, ancient history, etc., trying to reproduce the flood era of the origin of Chinese civilization, and reconstruct the magnificent and majestic Chinese mythology, I believe that it will never disappoint everyone! ”
Lin Nan's blog post is not only to persuade the two groups of people to scold, but also to put an advertisement for "Sou Shen Ji".
After Lin Nan himself appeared to mediate, the two groups of talents on the Internet died down slightly.
The thoughts of the people who stand on the side of "Sou Shen Ji" are: When that group of people watch "Sou Shen Ji", they will know how awesome "Sou Shen Ji" is.
And the thoughts of the people who stand on the side of "Zhu Xian" are: I want to go and see if this "Sou Shen Ji" is as awesome as those people say.
……
Since Xie Simiao gave the action order at noon, the books sent from Haidu have been shipped to all parts of the country in the fastest way, not to mention that the readers who are waiting to buy the books are in a hurry, in fact, the editors of "Fantasy Journal" are even more anxious!
The next day, except for some relatively remote places, most of the country already had new copies of "Fantasy", and those readers who had waited all night naturally went to the nearby newsstand early in the morning to buy a copy of "Fantasy", as if they were afraid that they would be gone too late and there would be no more.
This time, the shipment volume of "Fantasy" is obviously not small, and it has been following up on shipments according to the sales situation in each region, so although the sales are extremely hot, there is no longer a situation of out-of-stock.
Xie Simiao didn't dare to play like this anymore, such a thing as hunger marketing, it was enough to do it once.
When everyone bought "Fantasy Chronicles", the first thing was naturally to read the new work "Sou Shen Ji", which was very hot!
The story of "Sou Shen Ji" takes place in the ancient flood era before the legendary Three Emperors and Five Emperors, and with the death of the world's recognized leader, Shennong, the heroes of all ethnic groups began to move.
In this turbulent era, the young Tuoba Ye was born, became the messenger of Shennong by chance, and began a thrilling legendary journey......
The compact plot of "Sou Shen Ji" quickly attracted countless readers, and the ancient flood era in which it was located also fascinated many readers.
Although "Sou Shen Ji" is only 40,000 words in the first release, it is not as good as "Zhu Xian" in this regard, but Lin Nan's current fame is not comparable to the original, so under the superposition of the two, "Sou Shen Ji" and "Zhu Xian" are not much worse.
Although it is hot, the 40,000-word plot really has nothing to discuss, so after reading the 40,000 words, all the book friends invariably shifted their attention to another question, that is, how often will this "Fantasy Chronicle" serialized with "Sou Shen Ji" be released?
A week, a half, or a month?
The official "Fantasy Journal" has not had an accurate conclusion on this issue, in fact, it is not that it does not want to be conclusive, to say that it must be the best issue once a week, but this has high requirements for the quality of editors and manuscripts, and now the conditions of "Fantasy Journal" obviously cannot support the weekly magazine, so Xie Simiao has been vacillating between monthly or semi-monthly magazines, and has not made a decision for a long time.
And now, countless book friends have made trouble to the official website of "Fantasy Chronicles", and now it must be time to announce it, and it is impossible to delay it any longer.
Book lovers don't care about the difficulties of your magazine distribution, they only care about whether they are happy to read it, so they naturally hope that "Fantasy Journal" will become a weekly magazine and serialize "Sou Shen Ji" every week.
However, this is a high load for "Fantasy" to be a weekly magazine, so it is impossible, but it can't disappoint the book friends too much, so Xie Simiao finally decided that "Fantasy" will be a semi-monthly magazine for the time being, and it will be published on the 1st and 16th of each month.
Although it was already a semi-monthly magazine, there were still many book lovers who expressed their disappointment, which made Xie Simiao very helpless, so he could only throw the problem to Lin Nan again.
Lin Nan knew that Xie Simiao couldn't do anything about this matter, so after thinking about it for a while, he could only announce that he would serialize the text of 40,000 words in the magazine every time!
You know,Normal serialization,Generally, it's a maximum of 20,000 words each time.,The reason why I serialized 40,000 words this time is because this is the first issue.,According to the original plan, it will definitely be changed back.,But now you don't have to change it.,You can have 40,000 words every time in the future.,This can already be said to be a great benefit.。
Suddenly there was twice the amount of serialization, and book friends were naturally more satisfied.
For Xie Simiao, Lin Nan's move not only solved the dissatisfaction of book friends, but also provided strong assistance for the lack of manuscripts of "Fantasy Journal" in disguise, how could he not be happy.
And for Lin Nan, this is actually a good thing, first of all, 40,000 words at a time, and only 80,000 words a month, it is still very easy to code, and it can also improve his image in the minds of readers.
When everyone had no opinion, the Internet gradually quieted down, and it was only at this time that no one noticed the other articles in "Fantasy Chronicles", and only then did anyone notice the novel that was written "Nanshan Yi Li Recommended" - "Seeking Immortals".
