Chapter 449: Looks Unusual
With Zhang Qiuxi's current writing speed, if "Original Creation Group" still relied on her to ensure sales, it would have stopped publishing a long time ago. After years of development, the magazine's sales have long been among the best in China, in addition to the comics of Ye Qingqing and Zi Cai Xinna, other signed and unsigned writers have also made indelible contributions.
The Matthew effect of the strong can still be reflected, and the huge sales represent a good platform, a good platform can attract more strong people to join, and with more excellent content, the magazine will become stronger. Coupled with Zhang Qiuxi's work, the magazine can become more powerful, but there is no need for this icing on the cake.
chose "Jianghu Night Talk", in addition to the complex of martial arts, there is also a love with the editorial department. How to say that she also went to the annual party at the beginning, and people have great expectations for her about the future of martial arts, although she can't find such a way, but at least she must have such an attitude.
"It's been a long time, Zhang Qiu regrets returning endlessly." The serialization is new, and the slogan on the cover of "Jianghu Night Talk" is very simple, but this is enough, and there is no need to even monopolize the cover, in fact, you only need to add a line of small print in an inconspicuous position, and the editorial department does this just for respect.
Even if it doesn't need any publicity, Zhang Qiuxi's novel can easily attract attention, but since she is serialized, she should be treated the same as her identity, and monopolizing the cover is the best courtesy a magazine can give.
"This is not a martial arts novel, or it can be said that this is a very special martial arts novel, I don't like the definition of fantasy, but maybe it can also be said that this is a Celestial Empire-style fantasy novel." Before the official content, Zhang Qiuxi put a preface again.
Regarding the discussion of the future of martial arts novels, she had already expressed it when she serialized "Parting Hook" before, but now the situation of martial arts novels has not improved at all, and she chose to serialize it again on "Jianghu Night Talk", and readers will inevitably wonder if there is a relationship between the two.
This is not an attempt at new martial arts, and it can't make readers think so, so Zhang Qiuxi feels that it is necessary to declare it in advance. then repeated the same old tune, and expounded her views on martial arts novels, and said all her views. For similar remarks, readers have long read it, and most readers are not so concerned, and the novel itself is the most important.
For the future of martial arts novels, it is not the readers but the authors who are urgent, and for readers, if they have a favorite work, they will read it, and if they don't like it, they will not read it. Martial arts novels are really in complete decline, what is lost is the author's job, readers can always find a replacement, they have no need or obligation to worry about how to give martial arts novels a future.
Zhang Qiuxi has never been a simple author of martial arts novels, and for fans, it doesn't matter what type she is, as long as she writes it. Because no matter what the genre, she can write brilliantly, it is enough to recognize that.
The vastness of Kyushu is at a time of internal and external troubles. Zhang Qiuxi did not directly indicate in the book that this is an empty world, and there is nothing unusual in terms of the setting of troubled times, heroes are born in troubled times, and the original martial arts novels are all unfolded in this background, so that the protagonist can show his strengths.
Take Jin Yong's martial arts as an example, Guo Jing and Yang Guo are both in the late Song Dynasty and early Yuan Dynasty, and Zhang Wuji is in the late Yuan Dynasty and early Ming Dynasty, so they can show the integrity of the great man who resists the Yuan Dynasty and serves the country and the people. If you change the background of the peaceful era, or directly ignore the era, it can only be a pure chivalrous man like Ling Hu Chong.
In the preface, Zhang Qiuxi vaguely said the definition of the book, but did not go out to discuss it, and the reader is still confused about the name "The Tao is endless". In the past, her works would be commented and interpreted by heavyweights such as the editor-in-chief and editor-in-chief, but it also had to wait until the end, so now readers can only find the answers in the book themselves.
I don't know if I don't see it, I was shocked when I saw it, this is really a special work. As soon as the young protagonist debuted, he was already a great achievement, and the top masters of the younger generation, and even many of the long-famous predecessors were already defeated. The young man was high-spirited, single-handedly broke into the military tent, and killed the commander who was already overwhelmed by the army, but he was uncertain for personal gain.
With a passionate statement, he led his troops to break the enemy army, in exchange for ten years of stability on the border. Judging from this plot alone, it is still an atmospheric martial arts story for the country and the people, but the protagonist in other novels takes decades to achieve this achievement, and when the protagonist reaches this point, he should go to the mountains with his sister to live in seclusion, and the novel of hundreds of thousands of words should be over.
Generally speaking, the protagonists of martial arts novels are poor and white for the first time, at most carrying a little national hatred and family hatred as the driving force for progress. The plot recommends dropping a cliff or something like that to get martial arts cheats, so that you can make a fortune but have grievances, and wash your hands after being a hero.
Speaking of most martial arts novels, the hero and heroine have to retire to the rivers and lakes in the ending, which is really a bit of a success, the way of heaven.
These plots have led to a rough world setting, not only with a grand background, but also with a majestic opening. The war scenes are brief but not simple, the cruelty, honor, and heaviness are all on the page, and if this story is written in detail, the reader has no doubt that it will be a war epic.
This should be the largest pattern of all Zhang Qiuxi's works, although "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" tells a story that takes place in the universe, but it is just a joke. "The Hunger Games" is mainly about dystopia, focusing on the game itself, and the martial arts novels that have always been just stories of rivers and lakes.
The story of someone else's work, "The Road is Endless" is told at the beginning, and the reader regrets that there is one less epic legend, and at the same time, he also doubts how to continue the next story? This question is entangled in the reader's mind, but it's a pity that this issue of the serialization has ended, and I know what will happen next time and listen to the next breakdown.
It's not that Zhang Qiuxi's bad taste is deliberately molesting readers, in fact, her node is not placed here. She had already given the editor nearly 20,000 words for the first delivery, and the first serialization was only half of it, and the editor privately deducted half of it.
Of course, the deduction is not to enrich one's own pockets, and this is not money, the main reason for doing this is because "Jianghu Night Talk" is a weekly magazine, four issues a month. Zhang Qiuxi has always regarded this as a monthly magazine, and the manuscript is only delivered once a month, so the editor can only arrange it according to the most appropriate method.
Nearly 20,000 words, the number of words in four issues seems a bit small, and it is most appropriate to publish one issue every other issue, whether it is the number of words serialized or out of appetite. For Zhang Qiuxi, whether it is published in one issue or in installments is the same, and it has no impact.
"It doesn't matter if you are, the reader will be dissatisfied." Hongdou held his head in both hands, crossed his feet and said leisurely: "The protagonist of the first chapter is to save the country and save the people, this is the ultimate of chivalry, right?" One stroke to bring it over, the next thing should be the ultimate of martial arts, right? ”
"Next, of course, it's still a story." It should be said that what follows is the real beginning of the story.
Anxious for people to be difficult and chivalrous, with a heart of worrying about the country and the people, and doing what he says, this image is absolutely great, if you want to put it in an online novel, such a protagonist is not likable at all, Gao Daquan is no longer popular. Of course, the protagonist is not completely without shortcomings, and it is inevitable that he will be a little conceited when he is young, and he can even be said to be proud and complacent.
When Zhang Qiuxi described the protagonist, he also used details to show that the protagonist can't be looked down on by others even if he is conceited, because he is so proud that he has capital and confidence. It's like the local tyrants who showed off their wealth in the original time and space, people are really rich, what's wrong with showing off? So to use a buzzword to describe it, this kind of conceit can be said to be capricious.
It's like a face-slapping plot, pulling higher is to step lower, but that's when the protagonist hits someone else's face, and here it's the protagonist who gets slapped in the face. After making great achievements in the frontier, the protagonist returns to the court to listen to the seal, and on the way back, he meets a girl of a similar age, and the protagonist's proud martial arts are vulnerable in front of the girl.
For such a girl, of course, it is indispensable to use various rhetoric to describe it at a large length, so that readers can see at a glance that it is the feeling of a mortal meeting a nine-day fairy. Whether it is temperament, appearance, and strength, it should only be in the sky, how can the world smell that kind of tone, of course, this description is not to make the protagonist fall in love at first sight, but to contrast.
Martial arts is the protagonist's proudest point, confident that there are few opponents in the world, and this kind of pride and conceit is easily planned by the girl, and the protagonist's state of mind also falls directly to the bottom. The unwilling protagonist has worked hard to follow the girl's footsteps, climbing the mountain that is extremely difficult for mortals, and finally seeing the girl again.
"Why are you studying martial arts?" After the meeting, the girl asked,
"For the sake of chivalry, hoe the strong and help the weak." The boy replied without the slightest hesitation.
"But if that's it, you've done it." The girl said lightly, but the boy was speechless.
"Seeing each other is fate, listen to me play a song."
The sound of the piano fascinated the boy and made him feel a lot, and when he came back to his senses, he had already returned to the foot of the mountain. He had worked so hard to get up the mountain that he had almost reached several times, and he had no idea how he had come down.
The sound of the young man's piano opens the door to another world for the protagonist, and he begins to think about what martial arts are and why he practices martial arts day and night. But after realizing how ridiculous the previous pride was, the young man also resigned from the reward and embarked on the road of martyrdom, which is the real beginning of the story.
This is also the node that Zhang Qiuxi left for the opening, when this issue of the magazine was launched, it was also time for her to deliver. R1152
