This is the story of how to cultivate a perfect female lead, a "plain and unremarkable" beautiful girl who一步步 grows into an all-around superstar.
Chapter 353: The Supreme God’s Appearance
Zhao Heng, the author of "Wu Po Cangqiong", was also reading Nan Gezi's new work "Life is Long and Hateful, Rivers Flow East" at this time.
Today, Zhao Heng is of course also a pillar-level author of "Qidian". His pen name [I Love Tomatoes and Potatoes] has also become very famous in the online literature circle.
Influenced by him, online writers now like to choose pen names that are inspired by fruits and vegetables, such as Angry Banana, Dark Lychee, and Green Apple.
The pen name of vegetables and fruits seems to be very lucky. He was able to write a popular book and become a famous writer on Qidian.
Zhao Heng felt that his decision to write a book on Qidian was a very correct one.
If he still wrote traditional popular magazine articles, it would be impossible for him to earn a million yuan a month and sell the copyright for tens of millions like he does now!
For the top authors on Qidian, this income is actually normal.
After all, after the completion of "The Great Ruler", the work that dominated the top spot on all the major charts on Qidian was his "Wu Po Cangqiong"!
If "Zhan Tian" created the "Zhan Tian style", then "Wu Po Cang Qiong" created the "good-for-nothing breaking off engagement style"!
Among the fantasy novels online nowadays, perhaps eight out of ten begin with a broken engagement. Even the fantasy novels in physical popular magazines have started to use the broken engagement tactic.
There is no way. If the protagonist is a loser at the beginning and then his engagement is broken off, it is indeed easy to create three golden chapters, stimulate conflicts, and quickly arouse readers' expectations.
Of course, as the "good-for-nothing breaking off an engagement" trend became popular, readers got tired of it and developed an aversion to it.
The main reason is that some authors are not good enough and only know how to imitate stiffly, but do not have the writing skills of Zhao Heng at all.
Although Zhao Heng writes in a simple language, his writing is very concise and fluent, and has an ancient style. He can easily arouse the readers' emotions and make readers feel very refreshed when reading.
Due to the huge popularity of "Wu Po Cangqiong", this book has of course spawned many memes, such as "Don't bully the poor young people, don't bully the poor middle-aged people, don't bully the poor old people, the dead are the greatest", "This child must not be kept", "It's so terrifying" and so on.
In fact, a network that can generate popular memes is definitely a very popular network. For example, the meme "The Talent of an Emperor" was derived from "The Great Ruler", which is very interesting.
Although Zhao Heng has become the top author of "Qidian", he still continues to enrich himself by reading various online articles and popular literature.
Online writers must maintain a huge readership to ensure that they do not fall behind the trend. Otherwise, what they write will easily be eliminated.
Why did some ancient gods fall? It is because they fell behind and failed to keep up with the trend.
If Zhao Heng saw an online article that fascinated him, he could read 600,000 to 700,000 words a day and would want to finish it in one go.
Perhaps it is this love for online literature that allows him to understand what readers like to read, and then absorb the advantages of other authors and make them his own. In this way, the articles he writes will naturally be more popular with readers.
[Nan Gezi] Before "Zhan Tian", while Zhao Heng was writing "Wu Po Cang Qiong" to compete with the other party for the ranking, he was actually also reading the other party's book every day.
He was certainly very excited to see it, and he was very excited when he thought about meeting Nan Gezi at the "Starting Point Annual Meeting" at the end of this year.
This first "Qidian Annual Ceremony" can be said to be a star-studded event. Even Gu Qingge will be in attendance and will perform on stage. This naturally makes great authors like Zhao Heng, who are qualified to participate in the "Qidian Annual Meeting", look forward to it very much.
As for a talented author like Nan Gezi, Zhao Heng wanted to have a meal with him and discuss writing with him at all costs.
Zhao Heng believed that [Nan Gezi] must be an author who is very passionate about writing just like him, and such a [Nan Gezi] must have a lot in common with him.
The ending of "The Great Ruler" actually made Zhao Heng very reluctant, but he also admired it very much.
Because according to the performance of "The Great Ruler", it could obviously have added more words and made more money, but teacher [Nan Gezi] didn't care at all. When it was time to end, he ended it decisively, making the structure of the whole work very perfect.
The same was true for Nan Gezi's two previous works. The other party would never reduce the word count just because the performance of a work was good enough.
Zhao Heng decided to learn from Nan Gezi because he was also very confident in himself. Only authors who are afraid that their next work will not be popular will keep writing a work and drag it out without finishing it.
As soon as Nan Gezi's new work "Life is Long and Hateful, Rivers Flow East" was uploaded, Zhao Heng, like many loyal readers of Nan Gezi, clicked on its book page at the first time.
He just casually refreshed the page, and the data of the other party's work skyrocketed!
Then there were readers who attacked the Golden Alliance Leader!
This is a reward of 100,000 yuan in one go!
The number of alliance leaders quickly exceeded one hundred, achieving the achievement of one hundred alliances!
This data, this number of alliance leaders, is the ranking of the Supreme God of Qidian!
Zhao Heng was secretly astonished when he saw it. Nan Gezi's "Zhan Tian" had accumulated such a huge readership for him, and the fans' loyalty was too high!
Why are Nan Gezi’s fans so loyal?
Because everyone believes that he will definitely be able to write a good new book that will satisfy everyone!
At the same time, many of Teacher [Nan Gezi]’s fans also felt very sorry for him, thinking that he was "deeply hurt in love" and needed everyone's comfort, and naturally everyone supported him with rewards.
At the beginning of the book, there is the Golden Alliance and the Hundred Alliances. The momentum is really amazing!
And with the rewards from these alliance leaders, "Wu Po Cang Qiong" will definitely give up the top spot on tomorrow's best-selling list.
Zhao Heng gave a wry smile and began to read this new work of Nan Gezi.
He was fascinated by this sight...
Zhao Heng felt that Nan Gezi's writing skills had become even stronger. After being honed with the four million words of "The Great Ruler", his writing skills had reached a new level!
This feeling is correct. In the early days of "The Great Ruler", Gu Qingge's literary skill level was only at the proficient level.
In fact, Zhao Heng has always admired Nan Gezi's writing style. He feels that with this kind of writing style, he doesn't need to stay in the popular circle, and is more than capable of writing traditional literary works.
What Zhao Heng didn't expect was that [Nan Gezi] was still improving, and his writing was getting better and better!
Based on this point alone, Zhao Heng can confirm that [Nan Gezi] is not the kind of author who will just sit around and wait for death after having a work that can make him financially independent, but an author with real pursuits and ambitions!
After reading the beginning of this work, Zhao Heng was somewhat puzzled as to why it was named "Life is Long and Hateful, Rivers Flow East" and where it came from.
Coincidentally, a reader also asked the same question in the book review section.
[Nan Gezi] actually replied...
