Summary and prospect of the stage of visiting relatives and asking for leave and the smoke and dust of Xianlu
I'm sorry, but I have a routine scientific research report to do on Friday, so I haven't been able to update it in the past two or three days. In addition, the most important girl in Pingchao's life, besides her mother, also left her homeland at the beginning of this month to study for a doctorate, so I will also go to her city to see her after the work is finished on Friday. So I can only say sorry to all of you, I may not be able to update the code for about five days.
I would like to take this opportunity to take a leave of absence, and by the way, I would like to talk about the writing of this book. The fairy road smoke and dust, all kinds of things, Lala miscellaneous, written for nearly two years, by the end of the fifteenth volume, it is in the middle and late stages of the book. The life of several young children in the book seems to be as indifferent as water, brisk and bright, and the thick grief and indignation are slightly insufficient. I know that very well. Actually, to be thick, to be pathetic, to be desolate, to be worse than whom, I probably would, nothing more than to cause trouble, nothing to do, conspiracies, wars, dead people, dead people, dead people, dead people, dead people, why don't I write like that today? Because it's different from my overall philosophy in writing this book.
Fighting, killing, grievances, and violent changes and turns, there are already many classic works in front of me, so why should I be bored anymore? And a book can attract people to read, I think that in addition to the tense and breathless plot can be realized, the kind of works with exquisite words, relaxed stories, cute characters, and beautiful scenes can also be realized. Moreover, often a book can attract people to go back and read it a second time, and what the reader wants to see is not what the result of a big conspiracy and conflict is, that is already known, but wants to revisit those intriguing, aura details of the process, and even the vivid description of the scenery and environment. Many times, when I read a certain book, I always want to read it in one sitting, and I am reluctant to put it down when I read it, but once I finish reading it, I don't want to read it again. When this happens, it is likely that the work pays too much attention to the tense and bizarre plot suspense, and the details or character portrayals are not polished, so that once the suspense is revealed, once the result is exposed, once the ending is finished, there is no interest in re-reading.
Therefore, it is precisely because I personally have such an understanding that I don't know what is right or wrong, so I want to take a different route and see if I can attract some readers to read it a second time when I finish writing in the future—don't laugh at my ambition and lack of self-determination, in fact, I have spent most of my spare time writing in two or three years, and I do invest a lot; in this case, I don't think there is anything to be ashamed of in wanting to make my hard work more effective and rewarding.
All of the above is a defense of the so-called "blandness" of Xianlu so far. It's a stage summary. Let's talk about the future.
Speaking of which, it still has something to do with the previous "blandness". It is no secret that the creation of this book refers to the style of the fairy sword game. Friends who have played this kind of role-playing game know that RPG games, at the beginning, the protagonist was very weak, clothed and wooden, and could only help people kill chickens and ducks, or cut down house monsters; Who would have thought that the original inconspicuous newcomer would learn such gorgeous spells, meet such strange characters, be in such a dreamy scene, and defeat such a magical immortal demon in the future?
The plot progress and plot density of Xianlu also follow this progress. Since the end of this volume, the next volume of "A Thousand Mountains and Snow Dance Plum Soul" has begun, and the protagonist's previous momentum has finally exploded. From this moment on, the fate of him and the people around him will no longer be able to be controlled and controlled by himself. Even, as the creator of him and them, from the next volume, I can't quite grasp the fate of him and them, so I can only follow the trend, at most add fuel to the fire, and do some micro-control.
At this time, the light style of Xianlu felt by some book lovers will also be partially changed, and these fierce emotions and things will inevitably appear. Large-scale strategic planning, large-scale competition, different races, different weapons, releasing their most brilliant spells, competing in the vast sky of the fairy road, restraining each other, and complementing each other!
If it was smoke and dust before, then it is a fairy road from now on;
If it was Pinggu before, then it will be the climax from now on!
Of course, please rest assured that the basic creative concept of Xianlu will not change. This is a civilian Xianxia, and he has always tried to see the fantasy world of Xianxia from the eyes of us modern people, and told them in an almost white way. Agility and relaxation are always the goals I strive to pursue. Therefore, even if there will be more magic weapons and more strategic planning in the future, the fairy road will still closely focus on the main line, and the description will be plain and unconventional, and it will not be like a dream to talk nonsense, nor will it restrain the mind and become pedantic. In the past, I would try to carefully absorb all the attractive elements of the gods and demons novels and transform them according to the needs of the fairy road. I will try my best to do it, and as for the effect, I will judge it together with all the book friends who have always supported me.
At this point, the mythical world of the book "Smoke and Dust on the Fairy Road" will also be completely unfolded. Regarding the setting of the mythical world of Xianlu, I won't say much about it in advance. Just one thing: it may be a source of expertise, or it may be part of its own creation. Maybe in the end, there will be a fairy road's own mythological background system and some allusions. I don't know what it looks like, I'll see when the time comes.
Speaking of which, just as I was writing the paragraph just now, the editor in charge of the simplified Chinese publishing of the Xianlu Continent told me that volumes 1 and 2 (volumes 1 to 6) of "Smoke and Dust of the Immortal Road" will finally be released at the end of this month or early next month. Next month, volumes 3 and 4 (volumes 7 to 12) will be printed. Xianlu Yanchen is published in simplified Chinese, and Xianxia's predecessor "Zhu Xian" is produced by the same publisher, and is currently transferred to Huashan Literature and Art Publishing House for publication. Here I pray, although the writing is poor, but I don't know if it can be sold well?Looking forward to the pie falling from the sky~~-_-
This is all off topic, and let's talk about the ending of the fairy road. Although there may be about five volumes of Xianlu Smoke and Dust, the ending has basically been formed in my mind. If you don't involuntarily change your mind with the development of the plot in the future, the ending will not be tragic, it is basically a comedy ending, at most, it will be mixed with some sour touch and sorrow. Provided, of course, that I haven't changed my mind. The world is impermanent, and who knows what will come:)
Let's talk about some chores.
1. Regarding the management of the refinement of the Xianlu book review area, I have always done this: except for Wan Essential Oil and Guan Pingchao's own book reviews, everything else that has something to say will be refined; The book reviews at the top are generally of good quality and quantity, and will be included in the outer volume at the end.
2. Related forums on Xianlu Smoke and Dust:
1、http://xlyc./index.php
2. In the "Martial Arts Xianxia" of the starting point book club, two enthusiastic book friends have built two sections for Xianlu Yanchen, one "Xianlu Yanchen" and one "Xianlu Yanchen".
I will often visit these forums, and those who are interested in books can also check them out. Some of the texts published there will be selected and placed in the outer chapters here.
3. Thank you to all the book friends who contributed to the promotion of "Smoke and Dust on the Fairy Road" to the starting point of the "Heaven, Earth and People Rebuilding List"!
Well, having said all this, it is time to stop, please rest assured that all book friends who have expectations for me, no matter what, I will guard against arrogance and rashness, and try my best to write down!
Good night!
Guan Pingchao, written late at night on 2006-10-12.
