Chapter 272: What is an Urban Novel?
Yang Fan hasn't been so happy for a long time, and he hasn't drunk so happily for a long time, as if it was the physique of the system, so he drank so much wine and was only slightly drunk. After he put down the last male classmate, he walked to the cashier with a smell of alcohol to check out first.
found that this class banquet had already been settled in advance by Xiaoguang. At the same time, he was also recognized by the owner of the hotel.
Seeing Yang Fan's embarrassed appearance when he was recognized, the boss couldn't help but smile dumbly, but he also gave him, a popular Internet celebrity, some discounts and benefits, that is, a few bottles of drinks.
When Yang Fan got those bottles of drinks, he also came to his senses completely, in fact, no matter how successful he was, in front of those childhood friends who really regarded him as friends, he was still the same self.
He thanked the owner of the hotel for the drink, walked into the box, put the drink down, and saw that the night was not early, he took his mobile phone to call the driver or APP to call a car.
Of course, Yang Fan paid the money first, but after he sobered up, those classmates basically returned the money to Yang Fan.
He watched his classmates leave one by one, and finally helped Xiaoguang to walk home, not only because their homes were very close, but also because he wanted to understand why the elementary school classmates he came into contact with today were different from his high school classmates.
"Actually, I shouldn't have called you, because I'm afraid that after you become famous, you will dislike us. Because we have different statuses. Xiaoguang seemed to see Yang Fan's question, and he said it in advance.
"But when I heard that you were coming, I realized that you hadn't changed, and neither had we. Xiaoguang continued with relief.
"It turns out that everything hasn't changed for me, and neither have you. Hearing Xiaoguang's explanation, Yang Fan suddenly brightened, and at the same time, he was also full of expectations for the next urban novel he was preparing.
After sending Xiaoguang back, Yang Fan took off his coat and recorded all these insights in the cold wind.
After all, this class reunion, I believe Yang Fan will never forget it in his life. After all, he has also learned to respect his friends.
The reason why he learned to respect his friends is because Xiaoguang and glasses are one of his few friends, and both of them have flashy dreams that feel ridiculous in the ears of others, but Yang Fan did not force Xiaoguang to work hard like he did with glasses, but chose to go with the flow.
Not only because Xiaoguang's current life is not as dire as glasses, but also because Xiaoguang's smile when he talks about his life and dreams is more pure and clean than glasses.
Because of the pure and clean smile of this class reunion, Yang Fan also had a new understanding of the theme of the city.
In the cold wind, Yang Fan looked at the pedestrians on the road who were slowly moving forward with a smile and following the rhythm of the small city without saying a word.
He tried his best to remember the slow pace of the pedestrians, and the smiles on their faces. When the clock pointed to ten o'clock, Yang Fan finally walked home.
Yang Fan, who returned home, was naturally counted down by his parents who cared about him, and was also disgusted by Lan and Lin Wanting because of the residual smell of alcohol on his body, he didn't feel any discomfort because of the number and dislike, he hugged those who he was worthy of cherishing?
In this commonplace urban system theme, it is criticized because it is full of a large number of routines.
However, because of these routines, this theme has gradually matured and has a large number of readers.
Originally, Yang Fan wanted to change, but in the end, he gave up because the market still existed, and he really couldn't think of a way, and decided to follow the cliché.
It wasn't until the elementary school reunion he had just experienced that he discovered that if he tried to add something to those cliché routines, he could actually make the routines win people's hearts.
And those things are realistic feelings.
After all, fiction is always the wings of imagination, and it is also the product of the experience and story that real readers expect from themselves.
No one wants to watch the protagonist constantly being abused, and no one wants to see some big truths. However, if urban novels do not have reason and the products of some ideas, they are often easy to write articles with incorrect views just by wearing the so-called cool text and killing gimmicks.
Moreover, the so-called coolness, at least in Yang Fan's heart, is more popular than pretending to be forced to slap his face, pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger, those who really worked hard to change and finally took revenge on those who once looked down on themselves and let themselves be wronged.
The city, at least in Yang Fan's heart, if it can't infect people's hearts, it can't change some confused people. Then don't wear that skin to harm the urban theme.
This may just be Yang Fan's wishful thinking, but this is also the conscience that many urban fiction writers have in their hearts and a kind of resistance to those who have been deeply rooted in the minds of many people!
It is precisely because of this that under Yang Fan's dexterous hands, his outline is constantly revised, and the original protagonist's pretense of facing doubts is transferred to the students in his class, so that those students who are known as garbage can rely on the guidance of themselves and their teachers to get the respect they deserve.
And those cliché routines were also skillfully transferred by Yang Fan to the students' families and personalities, making the students ashamed and brave, and also making this urban system novel full of positive energy and some touching plots.
When Yang Fan was revising the outline, in the building of the starting network, seven bigwigs in the online literature industry, including Wang Tianhe, were discussing the time when the battle of the six parts they operated would reopen after the Chinese New Year.
After the first Battle of the Six Divisions, they searched for a lot of problems, and in order to make the Battle of the Six Divisions a grand event that could affect the cultural circles of China and even the world, they formulated new rules.
That rule is that the scoring criteria throw away the monthly pass and reward, and only rely on the author's literary talent and influence as considerations.
At the same time, the competition is held twice a year, and each club is determined by the top 20 sites, and the bottom two sites in a row are eliminated, and the next top site joins.
And in order to maintain fairness, the six writers who participated in the six-part battle were assigned six independent themes, and the six independent themes were:
Urban (Reality), Fantasy (Fantasy, Xianxia, Martial Arts), Military, Science Fiction, History, Sports.
The perfect rules and fairness gave the seven more big guys full of confidence, and they already expected that after they held the second competition, the third would eventually become a literary event that could influence the world.
Moreover, it can also make their seven websites truly revitalize independently!
