Chapter 424 Abstract Style
Chapter 424 Abstract Style
"First of all, I haven't read any martial arts novels. Secondly, this style is quite interesting. Especially the description of splitting Huashan Mountain with force, which is just a palm strike from top to bottom. Such a simple move can be written so coolly."
"Earlier I was discussing what style Gu Lu's martial arts would be, A, B, or C, and I never expected he would choose why. I started reading Jin Yong and Gu Long when I was fifteen, and I've never seen anything like this. Jin Yong's every move is realistic. Gu Long focuses on the atmosphere, and never describes the reaction of the moves to the enemy. Gu Lu is awesome, a brand new version of punches and kicks!"
"So in any era, branding is popular: when eating in a restaurant, you have to order the best abalone; when drinking soup, you have to book a table and drink the soup stewed by the mistress; when going to a brothel, you have to go to a real rich man; when studying, you have to go to Yuelu Cave; when writing, you have to learn calligraphy from Zhao, Mi, and Cai... After saying a lot, it seems that the Iron Hand's forceful splitting of Huashan is really unique. Hahahaha, it's free to watch anyway, so I vote for it."
The above-mentioned readers all support the side, especially the netizen "Tangtang080616". According to her, she is an old martial arts fan and has always liked old martial arts.
The most important thing about martial arts is chivalry, using force to break the law. But now, the chivalrous men in martial arts seem to have been incorporated into the imperial court in the book, and chivalry has completely disappeared. There is no Jiangnan Seven Freaks who traveled to the border for 18 years to keep their promise, no Hong Qigong cut off a finger due to greed, and no Gu Long who was helpless in the martial arts world. Tangtang complained that the new martial arts has become a derivative of the temple's military institutions.
Seeing the title of the book, The Four Famous Detectives, Tangtang was worried that it would be the same, that the martial arts would only be about martial arts. But after the first plot ended, it looked very chivalrous, and the temples in the book were just like the more powerful martial arts sects.
Therefore, the netizen Tangtang was very excited. The reason why he did not post all the messages was because the messages were long, with thousands of words, and were quite exciting, and it looked like they were hired by internet trolls.
"You should go back to writing your fairy tales. After The Little Prince and Flatland, the level of children's books is unbearable."
"Hahaha, you can tell they are paid to do this, the word count is crazy, the line [Look at the legs, what's so good about a man's legs] made me burst out laughing, hahaha, what a talent!"
"The fight at the beginning took more than ten chapters. One move took one chapter, and one kick took half a chapter. Awesome! Tag your favorite online writer and learn from him. Once you learn, you can update 20 chapters a day."
"It's boring. The plot doesn't progress at all. It's too slow. Gu Lu can't eat the martial arts bowl of rice."
There are many people who don’t like Wen Juxia’s style.
But being able to convert some of the people who are having fun into the party that debates whether it is good or not is a victory in itself.
And have you noticed that those who say something is interesting feel that it is rambling and interesting, while those who don’t like it also feel that it is too rambling and boring.
What is poison to others is my herb. This statement is very concrete.
Gu Lu himself likes this style. There is a writer in the online literature circle who writes "Infinite Sword Suit" by Yi Guan Sheng Xue, who also has a "wordy" style, and he likes it.
In other words, if you write "long-winded" in an interesting way and write it to the extreme, you can also attract many readers.
After publishing for an afternoon, Lao Li looked at the retention data and breathed a sigh of relief, because the number of readers who read the 30,000 to 40,000 words was more than he had expected.
Although there are fewer people leaving messages at the end urging for updates.
"Dangdang's activities haven't kept up. They should do the same as Dianping.com and give some rewards for leaving messages to make the data look better." Old Li thought to himself.
I just thought so because Dangdang.com has a much higher priority than Dangdang Online Reading.
Tuition, mortgage, fishing rod, cosmetics, the family's expenses were finally settled, and the marriage was saved. Lao Li did not feel relieved, but to be more precise, he felt that he had taken off more than ten kilograms of weight and replaced it with five kilograms, and his breathing became a little smoother.
"Great, it's Gu Lu, we are saved!" Xiao Mao, an employee of the online reading group, suddenly shouted.
Old Li, the team leader (person in charge), didn't have time to stop it, and the five members of the propaganda team all exclaimed.
Old Li asked steadily, "What's going on?"
"Team Leader Li, 'The Four' has become a hot search. #Gu Lu Wuxia# and #Laosuo Wuxia#, the former ranked in the top ten of the hot searches." Xiao Mao said, "Our resource promotion is mainly on Kuaishou short videos, and the popularity on Weibo is due to the popularity of Teacher Gu Lu himself."
I don't know why, when Dangdang.com gave resources, it chose Kuaishou instead of Douyin. Maybe they thought the former's user group might be more likely to read martial arts novels?
Compared with the comments section of Dangdang.com, the discussion on Weibo was even more heated. Obviously, 90% of the netizens didn't read it.
[Sabo: There are many hidden issues here. Gu Lu writes books not just for money, he is listed on the list of richest writers every year. His relationship with Dangdang.com is not simple, I won’t go into details.
The director of the mental hospital grew up: "The Four" is so poorly written. I dare say this will be Gu Lu's dark history.
Nan Fang Zhang Hongyuan: It’s not that exaggerated, if you click on any chapter, you will find that the writing is elegant and powerful. Wuqing’s appearance is very handsome: “Even though there are tigers roaring and dragons roaring outside and the mountains are shaking, he is still in the car and in the jar, like a feather in the eternal sky, his dagger and wine are not startled, and the black and white are clear.” You can even say that the writing is overflowing.
Mero Heavenly Holy Prince: It feels like a great writer is just playing around with it. If Gu Lu could be more serious, it would definitely be a post-modern martial arts bible. ]
It has been a long time since there was any martial arts related news on Weibo - the last one was the passing of Jin Yong, and the last one before that was the broadcast of a martial arts romance drama.
"Teacher Gu Lu is so popular. There are so many ways to write a martial arts novel, but Teacher Gu Lu chose the one with the most comments." Xiao Mao praised, but he seemed to remember something halfway through and changed the subject, "The one who deserves the most credit is Team Leader Li, who was able to invite Teacher Gu Lu. He has a wide network of contacts and deserves great credit."
What you said does make sense... cough, cough, Lao Li coughed twice, "Don't flatter me, I have been working as a review editor or editor-in-chief from the magazine era to the public account era, and I have accumulated some insignificant relationships."
"Teacher Gu had already demonstrated amazing collaborative skills when he was a teenager. I just happened to meet him early. So I guess I can be considered a mentor." Old Li explained in the plain and emotional tone that is unique to reminiscing.
"Don't waste your energy, the technical team should take action." Lao Li raised his voice.
Dangdang.com's online reading service is not without advantages. If you have enough habit tracks on Dangdang.com, it will recommend electronic versions of books you might like based on your purchase records. In other words, it "guesses what you like".
For example, Lao Li exited the page of "The Four" and recommended "Life Without Limits", a chicken soup article written by a writer with limbs. Don't get me wrong, it's not the Japanese writer Otaku Yomiuri who has no limbs and cheated on dozens of people, but Nick Vujicic from Australia.
When he was at a low point in his career some time ago, he bought two books to encourage himself. "Now that I have come out of it, I don't need to drink chicken soup anymore."
Just when he was about to order the fork, Lao Li bought it anyway, feeling that he was still lacking some motivation.
“Big data push is really scary. It feels like it knows what I need better than I do.” Lao Li sighed, “What’s even scarier is that someone predicted this a few years ago.”
Thanks again for the message.
[Old Li: Mr. Gu, thank you very much. The Four series saved my life.]
Thanks for the message. Gu Lu himself didn’t see it right away because his phone had no signal.
"Is Follett really the king of all-night novels? People say you can't stop reading after ten pages, so why is it so difficult for me to read it?" Gu Lu was on a flight to the foggy city.
He can read the synthesized works at any time, and generally he reads them when he is taking a nap.
I finished reading the remaining 200,000 words of "Fall of Giants" in fits and starts.
Because Follett's narrative style is very macro, in other words, there is a lack of sense of immersion and the reading experience is tiring.
He knew that the words "king of overnight novels" were all marketing concepts created by the publisher. But marketing is always about using strengths to make a fuss, just like you can't say that Daju's "King of Explosion" has tens of thousands of copies a day. At most, you can say that Daju's materials are detailed and widely read.
"Books become interesting after they have more than 100,000 words. With my current fame, I can sell them in Asia, including Da Ying and France. But it will take some effort to sell them well in America."
It's not that readers will buy into any rubbish the great author writes at the beginning, but that readers know the great author's strength and are more patient with the article. "America needs to come up with a propaganda theme..." Gu Lu wanted to make progress.
Take inventory of your arsenal before landing.
Arsenal: "To Live", "L.A. Confidential", "The Boy in the Striped Pajamas", "Guts", "The Borrower", "Mr. Toad Goes to a Shrink", and "Fall of Giants", two of which are omitted.
The Four, Black Mirror and Aimee's Selected Short Stories have gradually begun to be serialized in domestic and international venues.
"I have to say it, in the future I may focus on serious literature in China and popular literature overseas, and I will take some time to publish works in the children's field first." Gu Lu thought to himself, and he had to hurry up with the villain and the toad.
The frog croaked and the plane stopped with a "poof".
When they arrived at the mountain city, Gu Lu and Zhou Lin were on different flights. The latter arrived first, mainly because the ticket was cheaper.
Zhou Lin was currently budgeting carefully (she didn't ask for living expenses from her family). As for why she didn't let Gu Lu buy the ticket, the latter was sitting in first class.
But how is it possible? Not to mention that their current relationship is not yet a lover, even if it is, she will pay for it herself. Thinking carefully about Zhou Lin's family environment and external performance, the behavior of the super-powered girl is very consistent with her usual personality.
The downside is that it's a bit hard to get close to.
It was nothing for King Gollum to go out with her and treat her to a meal, but he still had his mind calculated in other aspects. It felt like he was being too polite, and it was also because Gu Lu himself could not figure out the attitude of the girl with super powers towards him.
"I read the report from the airport. Your flight took off twenty minutes late, but landed five minutes early," said Zhou Lin.
"It's normal, Lu Hang is like this." Gu Lu responded.
Zhou Lin accompanied Gu Lu as they waited for the luggage carousel, and the former had already received the small white suitcase.
"What are your plans for tonight? Do you want to go out for dinner together, or go home first and see you tomorrow?" Gu Lu asked.
Zhou Lin also has a big house in the Fog City, which was left to her by her grandmother. However, it has been empty since she went to study at Peking University.
Gu Lu and Zhou Lin had a conversation.
"If you are short of living expenses, listen to the experts and rent out your vacant property."
"It's a very tempting suggestion, but forget it. After renting it out, the original appearance of the room can no longer be preserved. The tenant may adjust the position of the sofa, take down the picture frame, or ..."
"Many things should be forgotten and then move on. Grandma Qin also hopes that you can move forward." Gu Lu certainly knew the reason. It was because he knew the reason that he made such a suggestion. He didn't want Zhou Lin to be trapped where he was.
At that time, Zhou Lin did not respond, but gave Gu Lu a complicated look, as if he was embarrassed, sad, and even ashamed?
Even though King Guru had a pretty good EQ, he still didn't know what Zhou Lin's emotion meant. It was completely different from what he had expected.
"Let's go home first and replenish our mental energy." Zhou Lin shook his head, "This is something that can't be done in the dormitory."
She then asked, "What time and where will we meet tomorrow?"
"Ten o'clock in the morning, go directly to the overpass - I almost forgot that the overpass in Xiaolongkan has been demolished, it's right in front of the dentist." Gu Lu had already called in advance to make an appointment, even at No. 8 Middle School, which will be closed for National Day.
"The overpass was demolished, but the dentist was not demolished either. It turns out that the mouth is more important than the legs," said Zhou Lin.
The two of them were going in similar directions home, so they just needed to call an online taxi.
When Zhou Lin turned around, Gu Lu rubbed his ears inconspicuously. He had a slight cold and it hurt a little during takeoff and landing.
Gu Lu was a bit lazy when he returned to his hometown, because there were actually many activities in Sijiu City. President Jian wanted Gu Lu to attend the warm-up activities, and Guo Dafa also said that he hoped he would attend a seminar when he had time.
Others could only steal a half-day of leisure from their busy lives, but Gu Lu stole many half-days.
"Great! The cripple who wins the battle with his hidden weapon thousands of miles away is just what female audiences like. Iron hands and cold blood, a typical unhappy and brainless combination, suitable for film and television adaptation. And the happy puppy who chases his life also runs fast. Absolute!"
Guo Dafa didn't read the article right away because he was busy with work. When he had some free time during dinner, he read it with increasing pleasure.
If you read the article from different perspectives, you will see very different things. Guo Dafa does not care about the writing style.
“And it also has a clear main storyline - if it’s well produced, it can become a well-received series!” Guo Dafa was determined to choose a good production team for the copyright of this martial arts novel.
While he was thinking, the secretary knocked on the office door. As mentioned before, the copyright operation of Gu Lu was very complicated, with companies both at home and abroad. And the domestic companies were really not smaller than the foreign ones.
The secretary reported that someone was visiting the front desk. After asking who it was, Guo Dafa frowned and asked, "Why are you here again?"
"Ask the front desk to tell them you're not in?" the secretary asked.
"Even if that's the case, he will be waiting in the lobby." Guo Dafa pondered for a moment and told his secretary to let the person come up.
Soon, a middle-aged man with a decent appearance and a horseshoe beard came over. His clothes and hairstyle were neat and tidy.
"Mr. Guo, have you thought about it?" The visitor was very familiar with others and started talking as soon as he entered the door. "Maybe we were still a family five hundred years ago. I will definitely not harm Mr. Guo."
Were they one family five hundred years ago? If Guo Dafa believed this, his twenty years of social life would have been in vain.
"We are just the source of IP development, a company that sells text. After discussing with other executives, we will not participate in the investment of film and television drama shooting." Guo Dafa said.
If you want to participate, you have to wait for the first story of The Four, and then take control of the crew after filming.
The visitors were not affected at all. Instead, they took out thick scripts and some makeup drawings.
"Mr. Guo, with this movie we want to start an era of science fiction in China, and we are really serious about it. Please take a look," said the visitor.
sorry.
I really regret it.
Guo Dafa never expected that he just sold the copyright of the short story "The Wandering Earth", but the man named Guo Fan in front of him actually asked him to invest.
