Chapter 621 Since you think the food is not tasty, then turn the table over (asking for monthly votes)
For netizens, this is a bit too much.
Because it's such a mess, even some so-called cross-industry people have come to get a piece of the pie.
A "Journey to the West" actually caused the downfall of all parties involved.
Yu Xiaoshu's post was indeed forwarded a lot. No matter how some people curse Yu Xiaoshu, they still want to take advantage of him. In their opinion, Yu Xiaoshu is rich, fucking arrogant, and fucking shameless.
But no matter how much I curse, I must take advantage of it.
Just like that, in less than an hour, the number of reposts of Yu Xiaoshu's post on the social platform had reached an astonishing 500,000.
You should know that at the beginning everyone predicted that the number of reposts on this social platform would exceed one million. The one million here is not an inflated million. If it were really inflated, then the number would probably exceed 100 million.
Yu Xiaoshu has specifically informed the social networking platforms that this update must block all the internet trolls.
But even so, the social platform still broke 500,000 in less than an hour.
This is the power of the crowd.
Infinity.
Besides, forwarding it won’t have any impact and you can get a book, so it’s not a loss.
Who could have thought that novels about gods and demons would one day become a hot topic? Everyone has known since ancient times that culture and entertainment are inseparable, but this is the first time we have seen such an inseparable relationship.
They are all on the hot searches.
Yu Xiaoshu actually said something right before, that is, for the Gods and Demons Novel Association, basically many people have not read the novel "Journey to the West" because everyone has a bad impression of this novel.
The first impression is garbage, so no matter how you promote it or what you do afterwards, it's just garbage.
For this reason, everyone just criticizes "Journey to the West", and no one has ever watched "Journey to the West" to see what it is like? ?
Originally, Zhao Fan had indeed not read it. On the one hand, he had to go to school and was actually very busy in college. Another reason, of course, was because Zhao Fan's teacher Jiang Qingsong extremely disparaged "Journey to the West".
Because of this, Zhao Fan has not actually read this novel.
Today, he came to class to think about some plans and ideas for his next book.
"Hey, have you watched Journey to the West? I can't stop watching it, especially the part where Sun Wukong makes trouble in heaven."
"Indeed, I want to know what will happen next? Sun Wukong has been suppressed under the Five Finger Book, and then what?"
"The Jade Emperor's words 'Go and invite the Tathagata Buddha' really made me laugh to death. There is no one in the entire Heavenly Palace who can stop it??"
"You can't say that. Erlang Shen is quite powerful. It's a pity that he couldn't defeat Sun Wukong in the end."
"I wish I had Sun Wukong's 72 transformations."
…
Zhao Fan felt a little surprised.
Because everyone in the class was talking about Journey to the West, Zhao Fan frowned slightly: "Didn't they say Journey to the West is rubbish? And Yu Xiaoshu is forcibly creating a god?"
Someone laughed: "Who said that? This novel is so wonderful. Besides, you don't think Mr. Yu is a fool. He actually recommended it and even sold the copyright. It must be because the novel is wonderful."
Zhao Fan was somewhat puzzled: "Isn't this Yu Xiaoshu forcibly creating a god?"
"Do you think Yu Xiaoshu is stupid or are we readers stupid? Of course we should support good books, but if the book is not good, you still force it to be a god? Do you think it is possible to become a fan circle?"
"Yes, Zhao Fan, you haven't read Journey to the West, have you?"
"No way, Zhao Fan, you are such a big reader, but you haven't read Journey to the West?"
…
Many people looked at Zhao Fan in surprise. It was obvious that they sincerely felt that Zhao Fan should not do this.
So beautiful? ?
Zhao Fan felt a little strange, because he knew that the people in the class all had a certain level of appreciation. Since everyone said that "Journey to the West" was good, why not take a look and see what it was like? ?
Thinking of this, Zhao Fan glanced at the time. Since this class was a self-study class, it didn't matter if he didn't attend.
The main reason is that Zhao Fan really wants to know what "Journey to the West" is like?
"I'll go buy one first."
Zhao Fan said this and was about to stand up and leave.
Someone hurriedly reminded: "You don't have to buy it, you can forward Yu Xiaoshu's social platform, and then you can get a copy of Journey to the West for free."
Zhao Fan shook his head slightly: "Forget it, I can just buy it and read it myself."
For Zhao Fan, he did not want to take advantage of this, because if he really got "Journey to the West" for free, then Zhao Fan felt that he would be embarrassed to make an objective evaluation.
Besides, a book only costs a few dollars.
When he arrived at the bookstore, Zhao Fan saw that many people came to buy "Journey to the West". No, they were not here to buy "Journey to the West", but to get "Journey to the West".
As long as you have the proof of forwarding, plus the background review of big data, you can get a copy of "Journey to the West" for free. For this reason, basically several waves have come.
"Boss, give me one."
Zhao Fan said to the bookstore owner.
The bookstore owner said without even looking up: "Tell me your account number..."
: "Boss, I'm here to buy Journey to the West."
Zhao Fan said somewhat speechlessly.
The bookstore owner then looked up and said, "You bought Journey to the West? Why? You can get one for free."
Obviously, the bookstore owner didn't understand.
After all, you can get books for free, why pay for them?
But Zhao Fan still insisted on spending money to buy it.
The bookstore owner said nothing more, since he wasn't losing money anyway.
So Zhao Fan bought a copy of "Journey to the West", then he found a cafe and started reading it.
After watching it, Zhao Fan forgot the time and felt a little unsatisfied until he finished watching it.
Not to mention the writing style, Zhao Fan himself admires this kind of ancient style of writing, or the vernacular style of writing, especially the inclusion of some slang which is even more valuable.
What really shocked Zhao Fan was the portrayal of the character of Sun Wukong. If you watch the first episode, it is actually a history of Sun Wukong's growth.
He was born, learned skills, made a big fuss in the Heavenly Palace, and then after reaching the peak, he was directly suppressed under the Five Finger Mountain by Tathagata Buddha. At the same time, Taoism, Buddhism, gods and demons were all displayed in turn. More importantly, this structure had never existed before.
Yes.
After all, Zhao Fan also writes novels about gods and demons, and he is able to write them to the level of a great god, so he is naturally extremely powerful. Before, Zhao Fan had actually always been thinking about how to innovate, because there was no way forward.
That's right.
There is no road ahead for the fantasy novels.
Many people say that science fiction is dead and that Chinese animation is dead, but this kind of death refers to the absence of phenomenal works. At least everyone knows how to write and how to do it. However, this is not the case with fantasy novels. The path of fantasy novels is getting narrower and narrower.
How to say it? ?
Some great writers of fantasy novels are just living off their old success, while some new writers want to innovate, but no one reads their innovations, so they start writing other things.
Some people are responsible and have dreams, and they want to promote the fantasy novels, but some people just write books to support their families.
This book doesn’t make money, but that’s okay, I’ll write something else.
No one reads this genre, no problem, I’ll write something else.
In short, I write whatever makes money.
Zhao Fan could actually understand it, and he actually wanted to innovate. But on the one hand, his teacher, oh, that is Jiang Qingsong, told Zhao Fan that if he wanted to be safe, it was best not to innovate.
Because innovation definitely means failure.
There is actually no way forward for the novels about gods and demons now.
It's ridiculous.
On the one hand, Jiang Qingsong is shouting that the mythological novels need innovation, the mythological novels need fresh blood, and the time has come for the mythological novels to change. But on the other hand, it’s quite fucked up. He asks his students to be cautious and not to innovate blindly.
Don’t you think it’s funny?
Zhao Fan didn't really want to listen to Jiang Qingsong's opinion at first, after all, he was still young. But Jiang Qingsong meant that you are still too young. If you don't believe it, you can open a small account and write an innovative book. Let's see what it is like? ?
kindness.
When Zhao Fan opened a small account to sign the contract, no publishing house was willing to sign the contract.
Then Zhao Fan submitted another article under his real name, but the publishing house told him not to mess around and to be more cautious.
This is still the case with the great gods.
Then Zhao Fan finally listened to his teacher's advice and just wrote a few stable books to see if he could get platinum. If he could, then there would be no problem.
Only platinum writers are qualified to innovate.
But platinum, how easy is it? ?
In this competition of fantasy novels, Zhao Fan was determined to get the platinum medal, and his teacher also wanted him to win the competition in one battle.
As a result, no one would have expected that the fantasy novel written by Zhao Fan did not perform well because its formula was too stable, and the sales volume was basically terrible.
Zhao Fanxiu said that he wanted to strive for platinum. It can be said that even the great god’s divinity is unstable.
This is also the reason why Jiang Qingsong was a little angry.
He thought it was all Yu Xiaoshu's fault.
If Yu Xiaoshu hadn't disrupted the market, then Zhao Fan would definitely have no problems.
For this reason, Jiang Qingsong has been scolding Yu Xiaoshu. What he has been scolding is that Yu Xiaoshu has disrupted the industry market.
The most important thing is that Jiang Qingsong wants to set a target, and that target is Yu Xiaoshu’s destruction of the novel about gods and demons. Because of this, Jiang Qingsong seems to be crazy.
As a result, Jiang Qingsong didn't expect Yu Xiaoshu to react so strongly.
I just yelled at you a few words, but you actually turned the plate over.
Since the food doesn’t taste good, don’t eat it.
Of course Zhao Fan also knew what Jiang Qingsong did, but after all, Jiang Qingsong was doing it for his own good, so Zhao Fan couldn't say anything.
On the other hand, because of Jiang Qingsong, Zhao Fan didn't have a good impression of "Journey to the West". Although he didn't believe that it had destroyed the environment of fantasy novels, he thought deep down that "Journey to the West" was garbage.
After all, Jiang Qingsong does have a certain level of appreciation.
That's exactly why Zhao Fan has never watched "Journey to the West".
But I never expected this.
After watching "Journey to the West" today, he felt that he was really prejudiced.
Such a novel about gods and demons may really become a pioneer.
Thinking of this, Zhao Fan called Jiang Qingsong first: "Teacher, it's me, Xiaofan, I want to ask if you have read "Journey to the West"? "
Jiang Qingsong said, "I haven't read it. Why would I read such a rubbish book? Then Yu Xiaoshu can spend money. I want to see what he can come up with."
Zhao Fan said hurriedly, "Teacher, that's not what I meant. I just watched a part of Journey to the West. I think it's pretty good, and some of the theories and structures about gods and demons are original. I even think it's possible that Journey to the West has become a pioneer. I now think it's possible that Yu Xiaoshu didn't have so many Internet trolls. I think this may really be due to word of mouth."
Jiang Qingsong: "Xiao Fan, please don't say that. I think Journey to the West may be good, but it has not reached the level of a so-called pioneer. And don't you see that? All the people in our entire God and Demon Novel Association are boycotting Journey to the West because it destroys the environment..."
Zhao Fan said, "Teacher, that's not the case. In recent years, our fantasy novels have run out of room for development. I think Journey to the West may really open up a new path. Besides, this novel was not written by Yu Xiaoshu, but by No. 2 Under Heaven. Not to mention that No. 2 Under Heaven's short stories are also pretty good, so..."
"how??"
Jiang Qingsong knew his student well: "Are you going to speak for Journey to the West?"
"Yes, teacher, of course we have to promote such a good novel about gods and demons. Not only that, we have to cheer for it together. I have a feeling that this Journey to the West may bring a new turn for novels about gods and demons."
Zhao Fan said: "It's time for us to leave now."
"What will happen to us? We criticized Journey to the West so harshly before, and now you want us to promote Journey to the West again. Isn't this a slap in our face?"
Jiang Qingsong shook his head slightly at this time: "Let me tell you, this Journey to the West is currently the enemy of the entire literary world. Didn't you see that no one praised it? Don't you think that other people don't have this ability? Or that other people don't know that Journey to the West is good? No, it's because everyone wants to resist the entry of capital. If we don't go to war with Journey to the West, but surrender, then there might be Journey to the East, Journey to the South, Journey to the North..."
Zhao Fan shook his head slightly after listening to Jiang Qingsong's words. He didn't expect that his teacher would be like this. He chatted for a few more words and then hung up the phone.
At this time, public opinion on the Internet has changed again.
It was obvious that Yu Xiaoshu really overturned the table.
