Chapter 101101 [Second update]
The more Jiang Ning wrote, the more he felt it.
She begins by writing about how after the little white snake was born, the weak and young snake began to struggle to survive because its mother left.
Its first meal is its eggshell.
It is the last one to break out of its shell among its brothers and sisters of the same generation. The other unshelled eggs will never break out of their shells and will suffocate in the snake eggs. These suffocated snake eggs all become food for the little snakes of the same generation.
She carefully explored the world, learning from other snakes and looking for edible food. Because she had the body of a snake and the soul of a human, if she wanted to survive, she had to overcome the psychological barrier of swallowing food raw.
Survival in the Snake Valley is very difficult because in addition to competing with other snakes for limited food, they also have natural enemies above the canyon.
The only difference between it and other snakes is that it possesses human wisdom and lives cautiously every day for the sake of its life.
She wrote vividly about the cruelty of nature from the perspective of a snake. The process was just like reading an article from "Animal World".
"Animal World" has been broadcast since 1981. In that era when TV programs were scarce, it was a childhood memory for many people of her generation. She recalled many records about the world of snakes that she had watched, such as "Secret Snakes", "Charming Snakes" and "Covert Operations - Snakes". She could no longer remember many plots and only vaguely remembered the general idea. She wanted to search for videos about snakes on the Internet, but some had not been filmed yet, and some had been filmed but unfortunately were not available on the Internet. She had to go to the bookstore to find books and materials about snakes to learn more about the habits of snakes.
After coming back, I continued to work on the outline.
The little white snake watched as its brothers and sisters, who were born in the same litter as it, were captured one by one by natural enemies such as hawks and falcons in the sky in various ways.
It used the wisdom that originally belonged to humans to avoid various disasters, but during a hunting, it was seen by a falcon in the sky. The falcon swooped down and bit it by the vital point. The little white snake fled desperately, and although it avoided the fatal blow, it was still seriously injured. It fell dying under a herb and was rescued by a young man who was picking herbs.
The first volume is actually not long. After all, it is a novel about cultivating immortals, and it is serialized in a magazine. If the pace is too slow, readers may forget the plot after reading the previous part. Therefore, the pace in the early stage should be fast to directly point out what she is writing about.
The early stage of each article is actually the time when the author has the best inspiration. The main plot of this article is very simple, which is the process of a little white snake's cultivation.
In the early days, the little white snake thought it was just an ordinary white snake and lived a life like in "Animal World". However, who knew that a feast of animal and plant life brought a turning point in its fate, turning it from an ordinary snake into a demon with the ability to absorb the essence of the sun and the moon.
It was only after the little white snake became a demon that it realized that this was not an ordinary world, but a world where one could cultivate immortality and where demons were everywhere. Its brothers and sisters also took advantage of this great opportunity to shed their mortal bodies, become demons, and awaken their spiritual intelligence.
Here, Jiang Ning gave the little white snake a golden finger. As an intelligent life, when the great opportunity came, many unintelligent animals and plants and its brothers and sisters only passively accepted this opportunity, but the little white snake actively swallowed this opportunity.
As a result, although it looks like just an ordinary mortal snake, in fact, it has the equivalent of a thousand years more spiritual power than other little monsters. It's just that as a little monster that has just entered the monster path, it has not yet refined these spiritual powers, nor does it know how to use them. It's just that when it fights with other little monsters for food and spiritual herbs, it is stronger than other monsters, more powerful than other monsters, recovers faster from injuries, and its cultivation improves by leaps and bounds.
At this stage, it doesn't even know what the great opportunity that brings it is.
This section is considered the second volume.
The third volume begins with various struggles in the demon world. The little white snake watches these demons fighting each other all day long, competing for territory and elixirs. The little demons that joined the demon clan with it died or were injured in these fights. The little white snake was so scared that it hid quietly, and did nothing but practice every day.
As long as others don't take the initiative to provoke it, it will never take the initiative to cause trouble to others. Of course, it is an exception when snatching spiritual herbs. It fights fiercely and fiercely, but it is still an old silver coin. When it runs away, it runs faster than anyone else, and it can hide better than anyone else.
At this time, it was absorbing the essence of the sun and the moon completely by instinct, and had not practiced any martial arts at all.
The main plot of this article is actually the story of a little white snake cultivating immortals, from an ordinary snake, to a demon snake, and then to a powerful one, entering the world of immortals. There is a struggle between humans and demons, and little demons like her are driven by big demons, triggering a beast tide. The snake quietly blends in, and sees countless of its kind being killed by humans. It blends in and pretends to be a pig to eat the tiger, escapes the disaster, and snatches a storage bag from a human. From the jade slip in his storage bag, he learns that this world is called Lingyuan Continent, a world composed of countless demons, human cultivators, demon cultivators, and ordinary mortals.
In the realm of cultivating immortals, Jiang Ning directly used the methods that were used so much on the Internet in his previous life - training Qi - building foundation - golden elixir - Nascent Soul - spirit transformation. After the spirit transformation is perfected, one can ascend to heaven.
At this time, the little white snake has transformed, of course, she is still the heroine.
The heroine has been practicing for thousands of years, stuck at the great perfection of the Spirit Transformation, but has been unable to ascend. After counting with her fingers, she found out that she still owed a karma. The ordinary human who saved her back then has been reincarnated and become an apprentice in a clinic. She wants to go down the mountain to repay her gratitude.
After Jiang Ning finished writing the outline, she felt that if she continued writing according to her outline, she could write two million words for this article alone.
After finishing the outline, she sent an email to Wang Yong, telling him that she had completed the outline of her new article.
Wang Yong asked her what her new article was about and whether it was still a criminal investigation article.
"Why don't you write the second part of "The Great Song"? " Wang Yong was really reluctant to give up the popularity of "The Great Song" and felt that she could continue to write criminal investigation novels.
If Jiang Ning was asked to write something else, various martial arts novels serialized in "Wuxia" would come to his mind.
There are too many martial arts works nowadays, but not many of them are really outstanding. Many authors have been influenced by martial arts masters such as Jin Yong, Gu Long, and Wen Ruian, and the types of works they write are basically the same. The protagonist has a tragic life experience and his entire family was slaughtered. When he was young, the male protagonist either fell off a cliff or met a hermit master. After he finished his training, he traveled the world with a knife or a sword, found out the truth, took in girls, fought and killed, and took in more girls. Beauty A was the most beautiful woman in the martial arts world, Beauty B was the most beautiful courtesan in the brothel, and Beauty C was the most evil woman in the demon cult. In the end, he took revenge, and then either retired to the mountains with the girls, or became the leader of the martial arts world, dominating the world, and gaining fame, wealth, and beauty.
This is basically the routine.
Among such a vast amount of martial arts works, how should Jiang Ning write in order to stand out?
He couldn't imagine it, it was too difficult, so he suggested Jiang Ning to continue writing the second part of "The Great Song Dynasty".
At least in the magazine "Wuxia", "The Song Dynasty", whether it is the pioneering time travel or criminal investigation, is different from the martial arts works currently on the market. This difference alone is enough to make readers remember it among so many martial arts works.
More importantly, criminal investigation works are easier to adapt into film and television. For example, "Bao Er", which has already been made into a TV series, will also be easier to adapt if it is made into a movie later.
Jiang Ning had no intention of writing "The Great Song Dynasty" again. Although there were real cases as references for criminal investigation works, it still required a lot of brainpower to set up various plots cleverly and make them interlock with each other. If she had not written similar works in her previous life and had not seen so many real cases, it would not be easy to write well. Now that she had finally finished it, she wanted to write a work that did not require much brainpower to give herself a break.
Seeing that she had her own ideas, Wang Yong stopped persuading her and asked her to send the first few chapters to him after she finished writing them, so that he could show them to Director Li Ang and Editor-in-Chief Bao.
Jiang Ning quickly wrote 20,000 words and sent it to Wang Yong.
Before Jiang Ning sent the first 20,000 words of her new novel, Wang Yong had thought of countless types of martial arts novels she might write, but he had never imagined that he would see such a novel perspective to write an article.
This... this is not martial arts either?
If it weren't for the name above, which clearly read "The Years I Was a White Snake Cultivating Immortality", he would have thought that he had simply received a copy of "Animal World", until he saw the ending where the little white snake was injured and rescued.
Wang Yong has not watched "The Legend of the New White Snake".
No matter how popular this TV series is, not everyone likes to watch it. Wang Yong just happens not to be the target audience of "The New White Snake".
He printed out three copies of the manuscript sent by Jiang Ning, and gave one to Director Li Ang and one to Editor-in-Chief Bao.
Editor-in-Chief Bao, a working woman in her forties, happens to be the target audience of "The Legend of the New White Snake". When she saw the title of this article, she couldn't help but applaud.
The name alone will definitely attract a large number of readers who have read "The Great Song" before. Whether these readers can be retained depends on whether the content of the work is hardcore.
Then she saw that the heroine was transformed into a little white snake at the beginning of the story.
She almost immediately thought of "The Legend of the New White Snake" and couldn't help but admire Ningmeng's ability to capture the spotlight.
In order to grab the ratings of "Bao Er", Apple TV just re-broadcast "The New White Snake", and she immediately wrote an article about the White Snake's cultivation.
Especially when she saw the man who was collecting herbs at the end, she thought, "This must be Xu Xian."
At this time, she still thought that this was just a prequel about the White Snake's encounter with Xu Xian.
After reading it, I smiled and asked Director Li Ang: "Director Li, what do you think of Ning Meng's new work?"
After Li Ang put down the 20,000 words, he pondered for a while before saying, "The perspective of Ning Meng's article is very unique."
It is really different from the martial arts works currently on the market.
It can be said that no one has ever written a martial arts work with a similar perspective before.
Although it was strange, Li Ang, as a reader, did not feel bored at all. Instead, he followed the perspective of the little white snake and was completely immersed in it.
Because it was so different, Li Ang was unable to predict the market reaction after the article was released.
Editor-in-Chief Bao smiled and said, "I think this difference is the most rare thing in the market. There are not many works that can give readers a refreshing feeling." She said to Wang Yong, "If possible, you can ask Ning Meng to write it quickly. We can take over the two issues of "Da Song" and see how the market effect is."
The fact that "The Great Song" was about to end in "Wuxia" was not only known to their own magazine, but everyone who was following this article, as long as they had eyes, could see that "The Great Song" had reached its final stage, and it would be completed in at most one or two issues.
This also made other similar magazines that paid attention to this article feel relieved.
Since "The Great Song Dynasty" was serialized in "Wuxia", the monthly sales of "Wuxia" magazine have directly increased from 500,000 to more than 3 million today, which is simply a miracle that cannot be replicated.
Previously, they sent many people to inquire about who the author of "The Great Song Dynasty" was, but they only found out that it was a public security officer within the system. This public security officer probably took his job within the system into consideration and kept his identity confidential. He did not even choose his own ID card for the contract, but chose a girl of fifteen or sixteen years old. People in the industry speculated that this girl should be the daughter of the author of "The Great Song Dynasty". When the author of "The Great Song Dynasty" wrote this article, he probably also took on the identity of his daughter, and he himself took on the role of the heroine's father, that is, the middle-aged constable who always accompanied his daughter out to investigate cases.
If you want to find out more, you will find nothing.
They were not in a hurry at first because they couldn't dig it out.
They thought that this article would be like many martial arts works on the market, which would be completed after writing 200,000 or 300,000 words. By then, the market share occupied by "Wuxia" would naturally return to them. As a result, this author not only wrote very fast, serializing more than 20,000 words every week, but the article was also very long, with one case after another. Not only was it serialized in "Wuxia" for more than half a year, but he also signed a contract for film and television, which directly brought the dying magazine "Wuxia" to flight.
I've been envious of other magazines of the same type.
Now that the plot of "The Great Song" has reached its final stage, these magazines couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
For the past six months, they can be said to have been completely suppressed by "Wuxia".
In fact, it was not just the magazines of the same type that breathed a sigh of relief. Other romance and story magazines also breathed a sigh of relief. The reason was that their market share had been occupied too large by "martial arts". "Martial arts" not only occupied the male reader market, but also the female reader market.
Now that "The Great Song" has finally come to an end, even if the next serialized work is still Ning Meng's, it is impossible to recreate the miracle of "The Great Song".
The reason why a miracle is called a miracle is that it cannot be replicated.
