Chapter 493: Amazing the World! Oriental mythology swept the blue star!
At this time, half a day has passed since the release of "Journey to the West".
Since it is only one-third of the full text, and the total is only 300,000 words, most people have almost finished reading the whole book unless it is some readers who are extremely slow readers.
North America.
Wang Mo sat in a large office and appeared on Instagram, he wanted to see the movement of the international network with his own eyes.
As for domestic.
Don't look at it.
He is 10,000 percent sure that no Chinese person can refuse the charm of "Journey to the West".
It is precisely for this reason that when the media hyped "Journey to the West" as a famous novel, writers in the literary world were so annoyed, and they felt that it was a complete joke to tie the fast food category to literature.
Wang Mo also has to observe the reactions of European and American netizens who can't eat fine bran.
Extremely abnormal.
"What's next? Missing below? β
But these are already trails.
Originally, many people still felt that the comments of these people were not very appropriate.
"I just happened to see a wonderful place, and you broke it off?"
Be wary!
The children are having fun, and it is useless to be vigilant.
As for internationally.
Especially urging changes, overwhelming!
After all, many people quarreled over this.
It's useless to ban it!
Even many media exclaimed: [Eastern mythology is devouring Western magic, please be vigilant!] γ
"West Building, you broken dog!"
In the next second, the entire Blue Star network instantly set off a huge wave.
Only then did they realize that there was a mythical world in the world that was completely different from their Western mythological system, and that mythical world was vast, huge, and even far greater than that of the West.
Wang Mo was a little confused.
Next week?
Wang Mo held his cheeks, and his eyes flashed with an inexplicable light.
Countless firsts make even fans of the West Building feel: Although "Journey to the West" is not as good as a famous book, it is brilliant enough!
So gradually no one cares about this matter anymore.
What's more, magic has no weapons yet, and those guys who "cultivate immortals" have all kinds of Dinghai God Needles, Red Tassel Guns, Chaotian Aya, Bagua Furnaces, Banana Fans, and Nine-Tooth Nail Rake...... When they all hung on their bodies, they were full of dazzling colors, and they could see that the other students were terrified, the key was that these guys were really greeting them, and no one could bear them.
"As a big fan of Rose's Adventures, I was originally here to baash the West Building. But now I'm so captivated by this one, I can only say that it's the greatest and most incredible fantasy I've ever read. β
And the hundreds of millions of fans of "Rose's Fantastic Journey" are even more angry: The books we worship have not been recognized by the literati circle, why do you have "Journey to the West"?
In this way, it will cause a wave of Internet turmoil and be criticized by all parties.
When many people are overwhelmed by the invisible pressure of this silence.
As a giant in the field of short stories, Rick also has outstanding achievements in the field of long stories, otherwise his achievements in the field of short stories alone are not enough to make him a great writer in the literary world.
"Journey to the West" was released in the middle of the year, and under the influence of the first part, this time in less than two days, the global sales exceeded 10 million copies again!
They were all excited.
Western European netizens.
"Before the media said that "Journey to the West" was comparable to "Rose's Fantastic Journey", I was so angry that I said that the media was blind. Now, I still have to say one thing: these media are really blind! β
on the web.
At this moment, many people were choked at once.
Yuan Xiong said: "Due to the huge global response, coupled with the fact that you have accelerated the speed of writing the book, you have sent the full text to the publishing house early, so the next part will be published in advance." If nothing else, it's next week. β
There is no way, magic has to bless time, and the immortal law is instantaneous, and the judgment is made.
At the same time.
"Golden hoop stick, I want a golden hoop stick."
"Ahhh Our North American love is superheroes. In my opinion, Monkey King is a more powerful and domineering existence than any superhero. He fought against the gods and Buddhas alone, and he alone overwhelmed 100,000 heavenly soldiers and generals. I like such heroes so much. I declare that I will be a brain-dead fan of Monkey King in the future. β
He far underestimated the impact of "Journey to the West" on the North American people.
Half a month later.
Even.
"I don't dare to engage in confrontational warfare, and I don't want to step on one another. But at this moment, I still can't help but want to say, who dares to say that "Rose's Fantastic Journey" is better than "Journey to the West", then this person must be blind. β
ββ¦β¦β
Chinese.
Instagram.
"I want seventy-two changes."
"This man has a point."
Such a wealth of cultivation supernatural powers and treasures is almost a hundred, a thousand times that of the Western magic world.
They stubbornly shouted: "Okay, although I admit that "Journey to the West" is well written, it can be called the pinnacle of fantasy. But it's ridiculous to compare it to a masterpiece. Do you know what a masterpiece means? It means that in addition to its superb written content, it also contains profound social practical significance, philosophy, and portrayal of human nature. But "Journey to the West" is a cool article, you won't say that it has these profound literary philosophies, right? β
"There's no way, even if Shuangwen is upside down, it won't reach the meaning of real literature."
"Go back to your Ross Adventure! I don't want to be with a clown flying on a broomstick. I used to think it was so handsome and majestic, but now I want to do a somersault of 108,000 miles, stepping on auspicious clouds, and stepping on hot wheels...... All kinds of mighty and domineering postures, how good! β
"Ahh
"Originally, I thought that "Journey to the West" would become a clown, but now I know that "Rose's Fantastic Journey" has become a clown."
ββ¦β¦β
Unexpectedly, the lower part has not yet been released, and the name of Monkey King has already swept the world.
What's special, don't talk about martial arts!
The first part is a fantasy category with sales exceeding 10 million in just three days.
"Ahh I went down with a stick and went up in smoke. β
Except for the average reader.
After all, where have those guys in the West seen such fantasies?
"Originally, I wanted to watch "Journey to the West" with a critical attitude, and I laughed in my heart at what grade of book can be worthy of such praise from the media. But at the moment, I just want to say: the media propaganda is still too conservative! β
In a short period of time, netizens from all countries of Blue Star have set off an unprecedented wave on Ins.
So, it seems to be the fuse.
ββ¦β¦β
Huaxia netizens were all confused.
Rick, one of the troikas, a giant of the short story world, made a statement.
ββ¦β¦β
"My grandson is here!"
In many schools, the children who used to go crazy with Rose's Journey are no longer imitating the summoning terms and magic moves in it.
This seems to the literary circle.
Originally, he thought that even if the people of North America could accept this purely Chinese-style mythological story, its coverage would be limited, and it would take time to precipitate.
"Well, this time Huaxia has opened my eyes again."
Mythology?
Fantasy?
Magic?
Various, almost occupying most of the young people's fragmented time. They forgot to sleep and eat, and were attracted by the stories in the book.
And countless readers are still flocking from all directions!
"It's actually that each immortal's cultivation supernatural powers and magic weapons and treasures are different? And our Western magic system, which comes and goes, is just a few five-element magics, and it is so shriveled that it is not nutritious. β
"Look at my seventy-two changes."
Perverse.
Who gave you the time to read magic?
Fool one!
What bullshit magic?
What bullshit magic?
The students who stood there stunned and thought about magic were stunned.
The first Eastern myth to be accepted by Westerners.
What's wrong with this?
If something goes wrong, there must be a demon!
But they don't know.
Many of the top Western fantasists have also popped up.
In today's era of rapid development of online literature, fantasy genres are almost all over the world, and their fans are almost far more than all kinds of traditional literature readers.
"It's too much, where is there a book that publishes only a third of the time? You're hanging my appetite! β
These words come from the mouth of a top short story master like Rick.
Second, it turns out that fantasy can also be both literary and artistic.
I thought about it.
Why are these Western netizens still fanatical one by one?
and even shouted one by one.
Many students came to school with various sticks, saying that they were golden hoop sticks, and they had a lot of fun playing them every day.
"I love it, I love it, I really want to have a golden hoop stick that can be long or short, thick or thin, and it's cool to think about it."
Why do you still study magic?
Masters compete, the victory or defeat is only in the evening, and you are not negotiable.
"All the fantasy genres I've seen before have a rough system that doesn't stand up to scrutiny. But I hardly found any logical problems in "Journey to the West", even when Sun Wukong was put into the gossip furnace by Tai Bai Xing to be smelted, the gossip was also used in Zhongtian Bagua, which made Sun Wukong's cultivation become a fiery eye, and the rigor of logic was simply terrifying. β
Of course, there are many students who are big fans of magic, and they want to duel with them with magic. So when the other party was chanting magic, these people picked up the stick.
Is there such a thing in the world?
They are sluggish.
No matter what, "Journey to the West" has set off a frenzy in the Blue Star literary world.
"Hurry up and publish the middle and lower parts, I can't wait."
Not to mention young people, they are the most fond of fantasy and the most receptive to novelty.
Even the two guns that finally asked someone to help him get on the Internet, ready to throw his old life and international trolls for a face-to-face confrontation, looked at the quiet appearance of the international network at this moment, and his face was full of confusion.
"I admire Xilou's achievements in short stories, he managed to conquer my heart. So after "Journey to the West" was published, I got the book as soon as possible, and I wanted to know why a writer would write fantasy or a long story. I originally thought that this kind of popularity could not coexist with literature and art, and it could not bring people any ideological and artistic improvement except for a temporary sense of coolness. But I found out I was wrong. β
But not long after, the author of "Rose's Fantastic Journey" spoke out: "I think it is the greatest honor in my life and the biggest uneasiness in my life to let the media put mine and "Journey to the West" on the same level." Because of such myths, such imaginations, I will never be able to write in my life. β
"That is, what if it's not a masterpiece? Anyway, this one let me know the mythological system of the East, and understand the grandeur and greatness of the Eastern gods and demons, which is enough. β
Instead, he suddenly asked: "When will the next part of "Journey to the West" be published?" β
Wang Mo feels that the most important thing is to benefit from the systematic translation.
"Is Oriental mythology so wonderful? Look at me. Mom, 100,000 heavenly soldiers and generals, the Jade Emperor, the Queen Mother, and the King of Tota Li. Especially the protagonist Sun Wukong's somersault of 108,000 miles, standing up to the sky and the earth...... Such mythical characters and systems almost subverted my perception. β
All sorts of discussions have sprung up.
Except for the great writers, who dares to say that they can write internationally recognized masterpieces?
Being able to compare "Journey to the West" with a famous book is already a major breakthrough in fantasy.
The meaning is incomparable.
"Heheda, even if "Journey to the West" is not a famous book, it is not something that you guys dare to blaspheme."
Yes.
When a group of netizens who came out of the wall saw the comments of these international netizens, they all thought that they had a delusion.
But now, Rick, a giant of short story literature, actually admitted the literary nature of "Journey to the West", saying that it was comparable to a famous book, and that it was shared with elegance and vulgarity.
Some people even made their eyes red, saying that they had become fiery eyes.
They felt as if they were seeing a whole new world.
Yuan Xiong sighed again: "It's a pity...... There are still some people who use famous books to criticize it, saying that it is not at the level of famous books. I really convinced these people, but I couldn't find the point of black "Journey to the West", and then it was endless? Made, if "Journey to the West" is really at the level of a famous novel, can it still be so popular? You can't have it both ways, they don't understand it. β
So there is nothing wrong with this man's words.
In this case, "Journey to the West" has received great publicity among Western teenagers.
Beneath this calm surface, a turbulent undercurrent has been created and is about to erupt.
Eastern European netizens.
Many Western netizens were amazed.
North American netizens.
"God! I'm numb. β
In Rick's comment section.
Third, it turns out that literature can really be suitable for all ages.
In North America, Xilou, Eastern Europe and other places, the Eastern "God and Demon Sect" directly wiped out the "Magic Sect".
Only fools learn magic!
They are all brain-dead fans of the West Building, and the original plan was that if the West Building was attacked by Western netizens, then they would start a holy war to maintain the dignity and status of the West Building!
But what's going on now?
"Oh my God! It's so exciting! It's so exciting! From the birth of Sun Wukong at the beginning, to the fact that it got the Dinghai God Needle, to the time when it sentenced Heavenly Court to self-proclaimed Monkey King, this monkey's rebelliousness almost drove me crazy. Its chic, its uninhibited, its domineering and arrogant, it makes my blood tumble. β
"This is the myth of the East?"
Wang Mo sighed again.
Of course.
Wang Motian said shamelessly: "Awards, awards." β
It's like the shock and disbelief that readers in China saw magic for the first time.
Wang Mo rarely did not echo Yuan Xiong.
Even the author of "Rose's Fantastic Journey" has personally admitted that he is not as good as the West Building, what excuse do you fans have?
Suddenly!
The gods, Buddhas, demons, demons and monsters in that world are all full of all kinds of magical powers, all kinds of treasures, and magic weapons are dizzying.
Because it is easy to offend people.
As for the whole of Asia, Fuso, Bangzi, and Indonesia, which have been influenced by Chinese culture...... and other countries, even more excited and trembling, expressing his feelings after watching "Journey to the West".
Angry with them!
But it didn't work!
However, all of their loyal fans of magic gave up their beliefs and began to "specialize" in the Oriental Immortal Law.
Their hearts trembled.
However, the real literary world is scornful of these, and even the author of "Rose's Fantastic Journey" cannot be recognized by even one of the local ordinary writers.
Nothing!
The vast majority of stubborn Western netizens, looking at this situation, even if they are unwilling, can only accept the facts, and accept the fact that a myth from the East penetrates the entire West.
Major international media have claimed that "Journey to the West" has radiated to all ages around the world at an incredible speed.
In just over ten minutes, its comments have risen to thousands!
β¦β¦
A revolutionary riot in the history of literature has officially begun!
β¦β¦
It's like a nuclear explosion!
"Who's to say it isn't? I used to think that "Rose's Adventure" was the pinnacle of imagination, but now compared to it, it is nothing. Simple little magic, what magicians, magic apprentices, in the face of the mighty and domineering Monkey King, are clowns who do not enter the stream. β
At the beginning, the system said that it would take 10 million prestige to translate "Journey to the West" into English, but he still felt that it was too expensive.
What has amazed the European and American media is the youth level.
"Really?"
ββ¦β¦β
Instagram.
There are still a small number of readers who do not change.
They feel that the West Building is willing to degenerate to write fast food.
Why?
Because no matter how well these are written, they are also fast food in the eyes of literati, and they are unbearable.
So, it was less than a month.
Now it seems, where will it be expensive?
20 million prestige is worth it!
Yuan Xiong also sighed again and again: "Amer, now the translation industry is saying that the English version of "Journey to the West" can be called a textbook in the translation industry, and it has almost reached the realm of perfection. Many Chinese and English translators say: The translation in "Journey to the West" is very decently translated in any sentence, so that people can't find fault with it, and even more wonderful than the original text in many cases. This is the reason why Western people, especially young people, can quickly accept it. Therefore, some people in the industry say: If there are masters in the translation industry, Amer you are a master. β
All day long there are conversations like:
"Splash monkey, you can't escape from my Five Finger Mountain!"
"Although "Journey to the West" is written, it can only be regarded as a cool article."
Although it can barely reach the height of literature in terms of writing, it is still far from being comparable to a masterpiece.
Because this person is right, judging from the current content, "Journey to the West" is indeed just a cool article.
Here's what he wrote:
De Huai, a top writer of Western magic, commented: "In front of a masterpiece like "Journey to the West", the fantasy class I wrote is like a toddler, it seems so naΓ―ve. β
There are even some guys who have formed the Heavenly Court by themselves, turning the students into heavenly soldiers and generals, showing off their might.
It really doesn't have much social and historical significance.
"I always thought that the fantasy world was only the magic world. Today I learned that there is such a magnificent world of gods and demons, my mother, it really scared me. β
Peter, a best-selling author of fantasy: "It turns out that when fantasy imagination reaches its extreme, it will have such a shocking impact. This kind of mythical story amazes me. β
But at this moment, in front of these people's speeches, they completely shut their mouths.
In his opinion, the systematically translated English version has almost perfectly integrated "Journey to the West" into the reading habits of Westerners, and has not destroyed the mystery and vastness of Eastern mythology, which is the reason for its great success in the West in a short period of time.
Especially some netizens who thought they didn't like oriental mythology, they were even more excited.
"I'm Monkey King! If you come to see the tricks! β
"West Building, you're so short."
Gone!
ββ¦β¦β
"Fans of Rose's Journey fuck off! Just because you are not qualified to touch "Journey to the West". β
Monica, the leader in the fantasy field: "I really don't want to admit the excellence of "Journey to the West", but I can't. All I can say is that just this one-third of the content kills all of Blue Star's fantasy classes in an instant. β
Masterpiece?
Netizens who were boiling just a few hours ago are like a pool of stagnant water at this moment, and the silence is terrible.
The first one made many Westerners fascinated by the Chinese mythological system.
How did this special world become unrecognizable?
Doesn't it mean that Westerners can't appreciate Eastern culture?
Isn't it said that European and American readers scoff at Eastern mythology?
Isn't it said that the Eastern culture is so profound that it is difficult to be recognized by Westerners?
Doesn't it mean that Western readers only have magic in the world and exclude gods and demons?
"Hades, tick off my book of life and death! I want to live forever! β
ββ¦β¦β
Something that surprised them even more appeared:
It broke a lot of records.
Your mantra skills, I would have beaten you to pieces.
Oh yes!
Now they are even more excited than their Chinese natives.
Even if Rick said before that "Journey to the West" can be comparable to a famous book, anyone with a discerning eye can see that Rick's words have the moisture to speak for Xilou. And Rick didn't say that "Journey to the West" is a masterpiece, but used the word "comparable", which is very reasonable.
"That 10 million prestige, it's worth the money."
"In five hours, I finished reading all the first part of "Journey to the West", let's talk about my three feelings:
First, it turns out that there are really people who can build a large and rigorous mythical world.
Originally, there were still many European and American netizens who were not convinced.
So in my opinion, "Journey to the West" is not weaker than any contemporary literary masterpiece at all, the media is right, it is completely comparable to the classics, it has created a new era of mythology, let me know that literature can still be shared between the elegant and the vulgar. β
The entire literary circle of Blue Star, both traditional and online, exploded because of Rick's words.
It's not enough to make it a masterpiece.
When the next part of "Journey to the West" is published, when this book appears in front of everyone in its entirety, so many writers around the world should slowly think about something, right?
Masterpiece?
Who says it's not a masterpiece?!
It is not only a masterpiece, but also one of the four great Chinese masterpieces! (End of chapter)
