Chapter 101101 [Second update]
Jiang Xi felt more and more emotional the more she wrote.
She started by writing about the little white snake being born. Because of the departure of the mother snake, the weak and young snake began to struggle to survive.
Its first meal was its eggshell.
It was the last one to break out of its shell among its brothers and sisters of the same period. The other eggs that did not break out of their shells would never break out of their shells and would suffocate to death in the snake eggs. These suffocated snake eggs all became food for the little snakes of the same period.
She carefully explored this world, learned the appearance of other snakes, and searched for edible food. Because it was a snake's body and a human's soul, 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 peers for limited food, there are also natural enemies above the canyon.
The only difference between it and other snakes is that it has human wisdom and it crawls carefully every day for its life.
She writes about the cruelty of nature from the perspective of a snake. This process is just like watching an article of "Animal World".
"Animal World" started broadcasting in 1981. In that era when TV programs were scarce, it was the childhood memory of many people of her generation. She recalled that she had watched "Snakes in Secret Realm", "Charming Snakes", "Stealth Action - Snakes" and many other records about the world of snakes. She can no longer remember many plots. She only vaguely remembers the general idea. She wanted to search for videos about snakes on the Internet. Some of them have not been filmed yet, and some of them have been filmed but unfortunately are 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 write the outline.
The little white snake watched its brothers and sisters who were born in the same nest as it were captured one by one by natural enemies such as hawks in the sky in various ways.
It used its wisdom originally belonging to humans to avoid various disasters, but it was still seen by the hawk in the sky during a hunt. The hawk swooped down and bit its vital point. The little white snake tried its best to escape, but although it avoided the fatal blow, it was still seriously injured. It fell to the ground under a herb and was rescued by a young man who was collecting herbs.
The first volume is actually not long. After all, it is a story 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, so 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 cultivating immortality.
The little white snake thought that it was just an ordinary white snake and lived a life in the "Animal World". Who knew that a feast of gluttony in the animal and plant world brought a turning point to its fate, turning it directly from an ordinary snake into a demon, with the ability to swallow the essence of the sun and the moon.
After becoming a demon, the little white snake realized that this was not an ordinary world, but a world where immortality can be cultivated and full of demons. Its brothers and sisters also got rid of their mortal bodies, became demons, and opened up their spiritual wisdom in this great opportunity.
Here, Jiang Xi gave the little white snake a golden finger, that is, as a life with wisdom, when the great opportunity fell, many unintelligent animals and plants and its brothers and sisters only passively received the opportunity, but the little white snake actively swallowed the opportunity.
As a result, although it looks like an ordinary snake, in fact, it has more than a thousand years of Taoism in its body than other little demons. However, as a little demon who has just entered the demon path, it has not yet refined these Taoism, and does not know how to use these Taoism. It is just that when it fights with other little demons for food and spiritual herbs, it is stronger than other demons, stronger than other demons, recovers faster than other demons from injuries, and improves its cultivation by leaps and bounds.
At this stage, it didn't even know what the great opportunity that brought it was.
This section is considered the second volume. The
third volume begins with various battles in the demon world. The little white snake watched these demons fight all day long, fighting for territory and spiritual medicine. The little demons who became demons with it died or were injured in these battles. It was frightened and hid silently. Every day, it practiced and practiced.
As long as others don't take the initiative to provoke it, it never takes the initiative to cause trouble for others. Of course, when it snatches spiritual herbs, it is fierce and fierce in fighting, but it is still a silver coin. When it escapes, it runs faster than anyone else, and hides better than anyone else.
At this time, it was completely relying on instinct to absorb and exhale the essence of the sun and the moon, and had no practice of cultivation.
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 cultivating immortals. The struggle between humans and demons, and the little demons like her were driven by the big demons, triggering a beast tide. It quietly mixed in, and saw countless of its kind being killed by humans. It mixed in and pretended to be a pig to eat a tiger, escaped, and snatched a storage bag from a human. From the jade slips in his storage bag, it learned that this world was called Lingyuan Continent, a world composed of countless demons, human cultivators, demon cultivators, and ordinary mortals.
In the realm of cultivating immortals, Jiang Wu directly used the useless Qi training - building foundation - golden elixir - Yuanying - transformation of spirit from the Internet in the previous life. When the transformation of spirit is perfect, one can ascend.
At this time, the little white snake has already transformed, of course, it is still the heroine.
The heroine has been cultivating for thousands of years, but is stuck at the perfection of transformation of spirit, and has been unable to ascend. After counting with her fingers, it turns out that she still owes a karma. The ordinary human who saved it back then has now been reincarnated and become a little apprentice in a clinic. She wants to go down the mountain to repay the favor.
After Jiang Wu finished writing the outline, she felt that if she continued to write according to her outline, she could write two million words for this article alone.
After the outline was finished, she sent an email to Wang Yong, saying that she had finished writing the outline of her new article.
Wang Yong asked her what her new novel was about, and whether it was still a criminal novel.
"Why don't you write the second part of "The Great Song"?" Wang Yong really couldn't bear to give up the popularity of "The Great Song" and thought she could continue to write criminal novels.
If Jiang Xi was asked to write something else, he would think of the various martial arts novels serialized in "Wu Xia".
There are too many martial arts works now, but not many are really well written. Many authors are influenced by martial arts masters such as Jin Yong, Gu Long, and Wen Ruian. The types of works they write are basically the same. The protagonist has a tragic life experience, and his whole family was slaughtered. When he was young, the male protagonist either fell off a cliff or met a hermit master. After he learned martial arts, he roamed 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 is the most beautiful woman in the martial arts world, Beauty B is the most beautiful courtesan in the brothel, and Beauty C is the most beautiful witch in the demon sect. 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 and won fame, wealth and beauty.
It's basically this routine.
In such a vast amount of martial arts works, how should Jiang Wu write to stand out?
He couldn't imagine it, it was too difficult, so he suggested that Jiang Wu continue to write the second part of "The Great Song".
At least in the magazine "Wuxia", "Da Song" is different from the martial arts works on the market, whether it is a pioneering time travel or a crime drama. This difference alone is enough to make readers remember it among so many martial arts works. More
importantly, crime works are easier to be adapted into movies. For example, "Bao Er", which has been made into a TV series, will also be easier to adapt if it is made into a movie in the future.
Jiang Xi, however, had no intention of writing "The Great Song Dynasty" again. Although there were real cases as references for criminal investigation works, it took a lot of brainpower to set up the various plots ingeniously and make them interlocking. If she had not written similar works in her previous life and had not read so many real cases, it would not have been easy to write well. After finally finishing it, she wanted to write a brainless work to give herself a break.
Wang Yong saw that she had her own ideas, so he stopped persuading her and asked her to send him the first few chapters after she finished writing them, so that he could show them to Director Li Ang and Editor-in-Chief Bao.
Jiang Xi quickly wrote 20,000 words and sent them to Wang Yong.
Before Jiang Xi sent the first 20,000 words of the new article, Wang Yong thought of countless martial arts types that she might write, but he never thought that he would see such a novel perspective to write.
This... this is not a martial arts story, right?
If it weren't for the name on it, clearly stating "The Years I Was a White Snake Cultivating Immortality", he would have thought he had simply received a copy from "Animal World", until he saw the end, when the little white snake was injured and rescued.
Wang Yong had never watched "The Legend of the New White Snake".
No matter how popular this TV series is, not everyone likes to watch it, and 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 Xi, and gave one to Director Li Ang and one to Editor-in-Chief Bao.
As a working woman in her forties, Editor-in-Chief Bao happened to be the target audience of "The Legend of the New White Snake". When she saw the name of this article, she couldn't help but applaud.
The name alone will definitely attract a large number of readers who have watched "The Great Song Dynasty" before. Whether these readers can be retained in the future depends on whether the content of the work is hardcore.
Then she saw that the heroine turned into a little white snake at the beginning.
She almost thought of "The Legend of the New White Snake" at the first time, and couldn't help but exclaim at the ability of Xi Meng to capture the heat.
In order to grab the ratings of "Bao Er", Apple TV just released "The Legend of the New White Snake" for rebroadcast, and she immediately wrote a story about the White Snake's cultivation.
Especially when she saw the man who picked herbs at the end, she thought: "This must be Xu Xian."
At this time, she thought it was just a prequel about the White Snake's encounter with Xu Xian.
After reading it, he smiled and asked Director Li Ang: "Director Li, what do you think of this new work by Xi Meng?"
After Li Ang put down the 20,000 words, he paused and said: "The perspective of Xi 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 is unique, Li Ang, from the perspective of 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 is too different from the crowd, Li Ang could not predict how the market response would be after this article was released.
Editor-in-Chief Bao smiled and said, "I think this difference is the most rare in the current market. There are not many works that can give readers a refreshing feeling." She said to Wang Yong, "If possible, you can ask Xi Meng to write quickly. We will take advantage of
the fact that there are still two issues left in "Da Song" to finish and quickly take over and see how the market effect is." The fact that "Da Song" is about to end in "Wu Xia" is not only known to their own magazine, but all those who follow this article, as long as they have eyes, can see that "Da Song" has reached the final stage, and it will be completed in one or two issues at most.
This also made other similar magazines that follow this article breathe a sigh of relief.
Since the serialization of "The Great Song" in "Wu Xia", the monthly sales of "Wu Xia" magazine have increased from 500,000 to more than 3 million, which is simply a miracle that cannot be replicated.
Before, they sent many people to inquire about the author of "The Great Song", but they only found out that it was a public security official in the system. This public security official probably took care of his work in the system and kept his identity confidential. He did not even choose his own ID card to sign the contract, but chose a 15 or 16-year-old girl. People in the industry speculated that this girl should be the daughter of the author of "The Great Song". When the author of "The Great Song" wrote this article, he probably substituted his daughter's identity. He himself substituted the role of the heroine's father, that is, the middle-aged head of the police who always followed his daughter out to investigate cases. If they
wanted to find out more, they could not find out.
They were not in a hurry to dig it out.
They thought that this article would be like many martial arts works on the market, and would be finished after writing 200,000 or 300,000 words. Then the market share occupied by "Wu Xia" would naturally return to them. As a result, this author not only wrote very quickly, serializing more than 20,000 words every week, but also wrote a very long article, one case after another, which was serialized in "Wu Xia" for more than half a year. Not to mention that he also signed a film and television contract, which directly brought "Wu Xia", a dying magazine, to the sky.
Other magazines of the same type were jealous.
Now that the plot of "Da Song" has reached the final stage, these magazines can't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
For more than half a year, they can be said to have been completely suppressed by "Wu Xia".
In fact, it is not only the magazines of the same type that are relieved, but also other romance and story magazines. It is because the market share occupied by "Wu Xia" is too large. "Wu Xia" not only occupied the male reader market, but also the female reader market.
Now that "Da Song" has finally finished, even if the next serialized work is still a cute work, it is impossible to recreate the miracle of "Da Song".
The reason why miracles are called miracles is that they cannot be copied.
