Chapter 453: A Man's Romance
When Zhao Heng learned that [Nan Gezi] had a new work to be released, he was very surprised!
As a top author in the entire online literature industry, Zhao Heng not only loves this writing career, but also likes
If online writers want to keep their works relevant to the market and keep up with the trends, they must read a lot and actively absorb the shining points of every popular work.
Several of Nan Gezi’s previous works that pioneered new genres, especially "The Great Ruler", gave Zhao Heng great inspiration.
Zhao Heng admired Nan Gezi, an author with top talent and creativity, from the bottom of his heart.
It’s a pity that although he and [Nan Gezi] have been friends for a long time, they are still just online friends and have never met in real life.
Originally, Zhao Heng was expecting Nan Gezi to go to the Qidian annual meeting. This "annual ceremony" that has ended was very grand, and the person who served as the "Qidian Book Recommender" and "Qidian Chief Image Spokesperson" was Gu Qingge.
Gu Qingge's performance at the "Annual Ceremony" left a deep impression on many Qidian.com great authors who were fortunate enough to attend the annual meeting. They took photos and posted them on their Moments.
Zhao Heng was no exception. Although he was not a big fan of Gu Qingge, he even had some aversion to this actress because of [Nan Gezi]. After all, [Nan Gezi] was hurt in various ways because of her, and ended up with nothing.
But he had to admit that it was indeed very impressive that Gu Qingge could be invited to the annual ceremony of Qidian.
Zhao Heng also won an award at the "Annual Ceremony", so he still has very fond memories of this annual meeting.
Zhao Heng guessed that Nan Gezi's absence from the annual meeting was probably because of Gu Qingge. The other party's heart had been deeply hurt by this woman, and out of sight, out of mind.
After Nan Gezi finished "Life is Long and Hateful, Rivers Flow East", there was no sign of a new book, which made Zhao Heng very worried. He wondered if the author had fallen into a slump and even chose to quit the online literature circle.
It was not until this time that Zhao Heng agreed to promote the other party's chapter. He felt relieved. It was great that [Nan Gezi] could continue to write. If the other party stopped writing, it would be a huge loss to the online literature world!
In order to make his recommendation more sincere, Zhao Heng chose to read the other party's new work before recommending it, as he happened to be out of books recently.
"Initial D" has been published with 100,000 words. Since it is a "new author's new book", its data is not at all eye-catching.
Today's "Qidian" is no longer what it used to be. It has firmly established itself as the number one in the industry and has also dealt a dimensionality reduction blow to the popular circle that was originally dominated by physical magazines and single volumes. Many authors who were originally in the popular circle have actively chosen to embrace this "Internet +" trend.
Of course, in this process, Qidian inevitably encountered backlash from some traditional forces. Some former senior authors in the industry even stood up and called for a boycott of this website because it made literature no longer noble. If anyone can write online articles, then the text is too cheap.
These senior authors who think highly of themselves obviously have not made any money from online writing. Their complacency has made them unable to keep up with the times.
As the tears of the times, they can only make some sour remarks to express their inner dissatisfaction.
Unfortunately, these remarks cannot affect anything at all. The choices of online readers are the most important.
Zhao Heng didn't pay much attention to the data of "Initial D", but started reading it on his own.
In fact, he felt that Nan Gezi's behavior of using a pseudonym to release a new book did not make much sense. The other party's writing style was very easy to recognize. Basically, it would not take long for this pseudonym to be recognized by discerning readers.
Ultimately, it's Nan Gezi's writing, which is comparable to that of first-rate traditional writers. It's truly amazing. His works are visually stunning, full of artistic conception, and flowing smoothly. Reading his works is like watching a blockbuster film...
Therefore, his behavior of using a pseudonym to publish a new book is simply like taking off pants to fart, which is unnecessary!
But I have to say that some readers are really naive. As long as the author does not officially announce that it is a pseudonym, they can deceive themselves and really regard the work of this new pseudonym as a "newcomer and new book."
In fact, how could the so-called "newcomer, new book" that is very popular be written by a newbie? Some big authors just like to play the "newcomer, new book" joke.
Zhao Heng quickly immersed himself in the world of "Initial D".
The beginning of this film is also a classic cool writing style, which is "pretending to be a pig and eating the tiger".
The protagonist Takumi is a high school student who just got his driver's license. At the gas station where he works, there is a senior named Iketani who has organized a team called "Akina Speed Stars".
Iketani declared that his team would be the fastest in the area, but the shop manager Yuichi told him that the fastest bike down Mt. Akina was the Tofu House's 86.
The true face of this 86 is...
Of course it is driven by the male protagonist Takumi!
In Gu Qingge's version of "Initial D", this 86 has been transformed into a well-known car from a well-known Chinese brand in this world. She also thoughtfully added easter egg chapter illustrations.
Zhao Heng felt immersed in the story all of a sudden. Oh, this is the car. This car seems very ordinary, but the male protagonist can use it to show off easily!
This is actually the same as in the mecha article, where the male protagonist drives a training mecha to kill everyone. Only when the equipment is poor can the strength of the technician be reflected!
Zhao Heng continued to read on with great interest——
Keisuke Takahashi of the Akagi Red Sun was defeated by Tofu House's 86. With his pride damaged, Keisuke vowed to seek revenge in the exchange tournament.
Meanwhile, Iketani, troubled by his own technical limitations, discovers the legendary 86 at Takumi's house. Could the driver of the 86, the fastest downhill racer, be Takumi's father?
Despite his injury, Iketani refuses to give up hope, repeatedly visiting the tofu shop owner, Fujiwara Bunta, to ask him to take his place in the race and defeat the out-of-town Akagi team. Moved by Iketani's enthusiasm, Bunta offers his son, Takumi, a ride on the shop's 86 to defeat the Takahashi brothers in Akagi.
The Speed Stars await a showdown with the Takahashi brothers, but the long-awaited 86 never shows up. Just as the two teams are about to begin the race, Takumi shows up in his father's 86, causing a stir among the crowd. Unaware of the circumstances, Takumi is sent there by his father, only to find himself thrust into a fierce battle. The 150-horsepower 86 is surprisingly able to keep up with the 350-horsepower FD...
"Fuck! This is truly worthy of being the work of Nan Gezi. This is clearly a cool novel written for all male readers. Racing, that's the romance of men!" Zhao Heng exclaimed.
