Chapter 129: The Requirement to Modify the Ending
The reason why Xiao Ran did this is actually based on his confidence in the quality of the drama "Mr. Zombie".
Because he remembers very well that this drama was made up of the cooperation of three major screenwriters in his previous life, one of them is called the ghost king screenwriter, and he is also a gold medal screenwriter of a supernatural zombie movie that Xiao Ran admires very much, and even his life experience is very regretful and sad for Xiao Ran.
This person first made his debut in imitation of the famous martial arts master's works, and even made a gunman for people in order to live, it is precisely because of this that even if his martial arts novels are fantastically conceived, elegant in artistic conception, and bright in rhythm, they are still rarely known.
Even his martial arts masterpieces "Silkworm Transformation" and "Hero Shen Shengyi" are popular all over Xiangjiang, but few people know that they are from his handwriting.
This may be the greatest tragedy of a person who is engaged in writing work, and in addition to martial arts novels, he is also an excellent ghost novel, the script of "Mr. Zombie" was made by him vigorously, if he continued to write scripts or turned to write martial arts novels, he would not have been so tragic in the rest of his life.
But this person is obsessed with supernatural ghost movies, but after the boom of "Mr. Zombie", there are countless works that follow the trend, and the director is tired of the audience, and at this time, the ghost king screenwriter thinks that he wants to change the situation by himself, so he raises money to shoot his own zombie ghost movie.
After the success of the first director's "Maoshan School", he continued to borrow money from loan sharks and planned to break the kettle and make every effort to create a new work "Magic High and Tall", although the level of the movie is extremely high, but because the audience did not buy it, the final hit was still mesmer.
In the end, a generation of talented people was beaten to death by loan sharks who came to ask for debts!
This also made future generations sad, including Xiao Ran who was also embarrassed when he first learned the news, and sighed for it!
Of course, the tragedy written by the ghost king mainly happened after the craze of supernatural zombie movies, and now in view of the current situation that there are no decent supernatural movies in the entire Chinese film industry, Xiao Ran is very confident that this "Mr. Zombie" can lead a new trend.
……
Towards the end of the month, Xiao Ran's "Dragon Babu" serialized in "Minbao" was finally over, and at the end of this martial arts novel, the hero Xiao Feng cut off his life in order to block the Khitans' invasion plan, and finally jumped into the cliff with Ah Zi......
Such an ending once made many viewers dissatisfied, and even caused spontaneous street demonstrations, hoping that "Minbao" and Xiao Ran could change the ending and give Xiao Feng a good ending.
Because in this book, although Xiao Feng is a benevolent and righteous person, but his life is very painful, he was raised by the Song people, inherited the position of the leader of the beggar gang, and learned the very powerful eighteen palms of dragon descending, but he was victimized by Kang Min, and his Khitan identity was revealed.
In that era, Xiao Feng was very confused, he didn't know which nationality he should belong to, and in the end he chose to find the leading brother who killed his family, but in the process, he killed his favorite woman, Azhu, a strange woman who was good at disguise.
A big hero whose fate was so painful and difficult could not die well, and finally committed suicide outside the Yanmen Pass, at the age of Chinese New Year's Eve.
This result really chills and regrets readers who like this martial arts novel, so they hope to make Xiao Ran revise the ending through the parade, hoping that Xiao Feng can have a good result.
But Xiao Ran was unmoved in the face of the parade, not because he didn't know how to modify the plot, but because he didn't think he should revise the plot.
Finally, at the request of "Minbao", Xiao Ran also issued a statement, the content of which was what he understood Xiao Feng!
Undoubtedly, in the book "Dragon Babu", Xiao Feng is a real hero who is affectionate and righteous, loyal to love, loyal to the country and the nation, and very broad-minded, which is more moving than the other two protagonists Duan Yu and Xuzhu.
But it is a pity that although he grew up in the Great Song Dynasty, he is a Khitan, so in the end, for the sake of peace, he had to betray Yelu Hongji, who trusted him, so he could only choose to sacrifice himself to save the world, and self-destruction in exchange for peace between the two peoples.
And it is precisely because of such an ending that this character can be completely perfected, so that after reading it, everyone will remember this tragic hero who cares about the common people, is compassionate to the world, and has a higher ideological realm than the nation and the country.
For this reason, Xiao Ran will never modify the ending because of the dissatisfaction of a few readers, although he also hopes that Xiao Feng can have a good result, but in fact, the story is written here, there is no doubt that this is the most shocking and most able to express the ending of the character!
Xiao Ran can't sacrifice such a great and plump character in order to please the audience, and the image of Xiao Feng has become mediocre.
After the announcement of the "People's Daily", sure enough, the riots began to decrease, after all, readers who really read the book with their hearts can still understand the author's intentions, but they can't accept it emotionally for a while.
Because a really good book is one that allows people to fully substitute the characters and plot in it, and grief for its happiness, and an author should also feel that he can write such a book and have no regrets in life!
On the issue of Xiao Feng's ending, Xiao Ran's persistence was not only not blamed by readers, but after his statement was published, it was more understood by readers and received more appreciation and support.
After such a turmoil, "Minbao" also began to continue the serialization of Xiao Ran's new martial arts novels, that is, "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" that Xiao Ran had already written at the moment.
And since the first day of the serialization of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", the daily sales of "Minbao" have exceeded a very exaggerated number, reaching a full six million copies.
According to Xiao Ran's own calculations before, the population of the entire Yanjing is about less than 30 million people, and if you calculate it for every four people, it is only more than 700 households, but the daily sales volume can sell 6 million copies a day, which is ridiculously high.
Although the main sections of the "People's Daily" are now five major sections, namely news, economy, culture, current situation and commentary.
The Chinese aspect is mainly Xiao Ran's novel column, and the current situation and reviews are more based on editorials written by Mr. Jin Lan himself, but even if the content of the entire newspaper is very interesting, Xiao Ran will never believe that more than nine out of ten households on average have bought this newspaper.
Although the number of illiterate people under the age of 50 is basically no more than five figures, even if they are all literate, they do not all have the habit of reading newspapers.
So this number is clearly problematic!
