Chapter 95: Understanding the Novel
"Xiao Jin, I heard that I started a business recently, and I have a lot of ability, how about it?" Several people sat at the dinner table, and Qian Yun asked casually.
"It's okay, in general, the development prospects are still good." Su Jin said confidently.
Qian Yun took a bite of food and said, "That's good, having prospects means having hope." In fact, there is a lot to be done in any industry in China at the moment, and the key is that you can persevere. One line, one line. This is the only way to make achievements. ”
"Yes, Uncle is so right." Su Jin hurriedly agreed.
"Well, that's good, it's good to be able to do this at your age. I've read your book, it's good. Qian Yun said.
"Oh? Uncle Qian has read my book? Su Jin said in surprise. He really didn't think about this, and he wrote that the main reading was young people, that is, students and some teenagers. There are really not many people of Qian Yun's age.
"Yes, "Back to the Ming Dynasty as a King". Qian Yun said with a smile.
"Oh, it turned out to be "Hui Ming"." Su Jin understood. If it is "Hui Ming", there is still some possibility, and this book now has a very high evaluation in both the Internet and the real cultural world. It is known as a rare classic in online novels and a standard work of online historical novels.
"Well, it can be seen from this that your historical level is good, and many things are true history." Qian Yun said.
Su Jin smiled a little embarrassedly and said, "Hehe, it's still not good, although I rely on historical facts as much as possible, there are still some things that are distorted." This is true, although Su Jin has revised the original version of "Huiming" as much as possible. But in the end, the goal was not fully achieved.
Qian Yun waved his hand and said earnestly, "No, no." You've done pretty well. After all, it is a novel, and the first requirement of a novel is storytelling. And the real history is cruel. This is in conflict with the nature of the novel itself. There is no need to require the novel according to historical materials, Jin Yong's novel is okay, and it also relies on history as much as possible, but there are still adaptations for some places.
If a novel relies entirely on history, it loses its original character. But if it's completely made up, it's boring for those of us. The best option is like what you do, relying on history in general but changing it in small ways. More than 99 percent of the plot in "Hui Ming" is true, which is already remarkable. ”
"Yes. Uncle Qian is so right. Su Jin said solemnly.
Listening to Qian Yun's words, Su Jin suddenly had a feeling of sudden cheerfulness. A novel is a novel after all, he can't become a history book, and as a novel, his first consideration is his interest. And as a web novel, the first thing to consider is naturally his YY sex.
As a senior reader, Su Jin deeply understands that YY is the foundation of online novels, no matter what the subject of the book, as long as he is an online novel, if he loses this feature. It can't be successful. Of course, with the development of the times, the reader's taste is also constantly improving, and there is not much market for the simple unreasonable YY in later generations. Readers are looking for a reasonable YY. But whether it is unreasonable YY or reasonable YY, it is YY.
If a web novel loses YY, it can't be called a web novel. But what is YY, for online historical novels, the most YY place is the moment that changes history. This is the time when readers like to read the most. This is what the authors usually call the breaking point.
Of course, saying this does not mean that Su Jin's original idea was wrong, in fact, his idea was not wrong. The success of "Hui Ming" is a testament to this. It's just that some corrections have been overdone. The experience of later generations has proved that it is impossible for online historical novels that do not rely on history to gain readers' approval.
But it is not necessary to rely entirely on history, because history is too rigorous. In this way, YY cannot be made. It's a blast. Such novels are equally difficult to gain readers' approval. The best thing is to follow what Qian Yun said, relying on history in general, but changing it slightly.
"Uncle Qian, thank you, your words have helped me a lot!" Su Jin said with a grateful face.
"Really? Hehe, don't be so polite, we still use this between us? Qian Yun was a little surprised, he just had a feeling just now, so he didn't think about what effect this would have on Su Jin. But if you don't understand, you don't have to think about it, Qian Yun happily accepted Su Jin's thanks.
"By the way, Xiao Jin, I heard that you are busy writing books now, and you rarely go to school anymore. Is it? Qian Yun asked.
"Well, this ...... has been a bit busy lately, and I have been to school less often." Su Jin said with some embarrassment.
"This can't work, Xiao Jin, don't blame Uncle Qian for saying that you, it's better to go to school. If you don't have talent, it will give you talent, and if you have talent, it will make your talent shine brighter. Most importantly, learning is a perk that you can only enjoy at this stage. If you miss it, you'll never find such an opportunity again. Qian Yun said solemnly.
Su Jin smiled bitterly and thought, "Boss, can I tell you that I have traveled back in time, know the future development, and know that now is the best era?" Even if I say it, I have to believe it! Although he complained in his heart, Su Jin still said yes again and again, and his face was full of agreement.
Seeing Su Jin's good attitude, Qian Yun was immediately very happy, feeling that he had done something that even Su Xingfeng couldn't do. finally defeated him, you know, he and Su Xingfeng have been classmates since childhood, and they have experienced elementary school, middle school, and university together, and finally returned to the ancient city to participate in work together.
The two of them are best friends and competitors at the same time. It can be said that it is comparable everywhere, but it is a pity that Su Jin is trampled under his feet every time. Even gave birth to a child, but was suppressed by Su Xingfeng, he was a son, and he gave birth to a daughter!
Unexpectedly, at this time, let yourself hold him down. Hahaha, it's really an eye. For a while, Qian Yun felt that the value of his life had been greatly reflected. Suddenly, it was necessary to carry out ideological education for Su Jin again. It's a pity that Mother Qian is obviously not ready to give him this opportunity.
Qian Jin, who has already determined that Su Jin is her future son-in-law, obviously gives full play to the characteristics of her mother-in-law who looks at her son-in-law, and the more she looks at it, the more satisfied she becomes. A Hedong lion's roar rushed straight towards Qian Yun, "Old man, where did you get so many words to have a meal, and stay well." Is it for you to train? ”
Qian Yun, who was about to show his might, suddenly seemed to be poured down by a basin of cold water, and his whole body wilted. He smiled and said, "Didn't I see Xiao Jin happy, so I just said it casually, as for the reaction so fierce?" Eat and eat. ”
Su Jin and Qian Ling, who were sitting on the side, glanced at each other when they saw Qian Yun's expression, and they couldn't help but laugh at each other. (To be continued......)
