Chapter 108 Let go of the hero, let go of the fans
The story of "The Ring of the Immortal Dragon" is very special. The protagonist of the story he wrote in his previous life... is actually not a human! Instead, he is a black dragon-shaped ring. This ring is the Ring of the Immortal Dragon.
The original idea for this story came about after he watched several "Butterfly Effect" movies.
Then he thought about the eternal mystery of which came first, the chicken or the egg.
After that, he thought of some novels that could make the male protagonist reincarnate again and again, such as the Spring and Autumn Cicada in a certain book...
He thought of many similar works, but when he thought about it carefully, he found that the treasures in these books that allowed the protagonist to be reincarnated were basically bound to the protagonist's soul as soon as the protagonist got it, no matter how many reincarnations the protagonist had.
Every time, those treasures followed him like a shadow.
Sun Quan thought at that time - it is too unscientific to be bound to the soul. If the treasures that can continuously reincarnate the protagonist cannot follow the protagonist in reincarnation, then... what kind of story will it evolve into?
Inspiration is something I really can't explain, it's all fragmentary thoughts that flash through my mind.
Sun Quan imagined many kinds of treasures that could reincarnate the male protagonist, and finally, for some reason, he set the treasure into a black dragon-shaped ring and named it the Immortal Dragon Ring!
The word "immortality" in the name of this ring refers to the person who wears this ring. At the moment of death, the soul will be automatically reincarnated by this ring. The most amazing thing is...being reincarnated by this ring.
For people, the memory will not disappear, only the body dies, and the soul is immortal, just like immortality.
The biggest conflict point in the book "The Immortal Dragon Ring" written by Sun Quan is that... every owner of the Immortal Dragon Ring, after reincarnation, is extremely eager to seize the ring again to ensure that
The next time you die, you can still be reborn with your memories.
But... each owner of this ring is strong or weak. The strong original owner can take back the ring after being reborn, but the weak original owner, or the new owner of the Undead Dragon Ring is too powerful, and the original owner after reincarnation will be
Will capture failure.
Therefore, before his rebirth, the male protagonist of the version of "The Immortal Dragon Ring" written by Sun Quan often died and was often changed, because in his setting, the real protagonist of that book was the ring.
Probably because the male protagonist often dies and changes frequently! The readers of his books always lose a large number of readers intermittently. Many readers can't stand his writing style and finally put themselves into the male protagonist. As a result...a wave of
After having fun, the hero died...
To some readers, what the heck is this?
Only readers who are tough enough have the courage to continue reading and read the story of the next male protagonist. But after these tough readers unknowingly substitute themselves for the second male protagonist, tragedy suddenly strikes like a bolt from the blue... Protagonist
Hanged again?
Damn it! Author, are you serious? You failed the first protagonist, we tolerated it, and pretended that he was not the real protagonist, but you still failed the second one? You are addicted to cheating, right? Do you still have humanity?
Sun Quan had read similar curses in the book review section too many times when he was writing the book "The Ring of the Immortal Dragon".
There was even a particularly resentful reader who went out of his way to join his book fan group, and then sent him a private message directly, spraying him with blood.
But Sun Quan wasn't angry at the time, he was quite proud! He could understand the anger of those readers, but he still continued to change the male protagonist.
Because the protagonist he set at the beginning was the ring. After the previous two male protagonists died, the main line of the entire story was already clear. If he forced a fixed male protagonist, the main line and tone of the entire book would be distorted.
.
At that time, he was very idealistic. He felt that the book should keep having male protagonists and constantly changing male protagonists to ensure that the whole story was exciting enough - with constant suspense and constant conflicts.
Moreover, the constant emergence of alliance leaders on the fan list also helped him strengthen his belief.
Especially after he gained an unprecedented silver ally, his belief became unbreakable.
A one-time reward of 10,000 yuan can only lead to the birth of the Silver Alliance! How much does this reader have to like his book to be willing to give him such a large amount of money at once?
He gradually drifted away on the road of testing readers, never looked back, and continued to be the protagonist without any discussion.
Whenever someone questions the protagonist of his book, he always tells those book fans - you have chosen the wrong character! The protagonist of this book is the ring!
It was the most willful book he wrote. Group after group of readers could not stand his test and left him one after another. However, those readers who stayed behind became his die-hard fans.
When the book was finished, many people in the book review section and the book fan group said that the book was a classic, and Sun Quan had always been proud of it.
Starting point, or looking at the entire online literature world, who has written a book with more than a dozen male protagonists and n female protagonists? And, when the book was completed, there were still so many people praising it?
Although the average subscription of that book is not directly proportional to the word-of-mouth, with an average subscription of only a few thousand, he is still very satisfied and proud.
…
Now, he has returned to 2006 and wants to write the story of "The Immortal Dragon Ring" again. His thoughts are no longer as extreme as before, and he is not as willful as before, always testing readers.
Nowadays, although he regrets that "My Decathlon" has not yet produced a leader and is a little sad, he still likes the royalties and honors that "My Decathlon" has brought him!
He has fallen in love with that feeling, so he doesn't intend to abuse readers anymore. He wants word of mouth, popularity and royalties.
Therefore, it became inevitable to adjust the characters and plot of "The Immortal Dragon Ring".
There is no need to have trouble with the male protagonist!
He decided that if he wrote "The Immortal Dragon Ring" again this time, the male protagonist would have to end his life from the beginning. The male protagonist's life could have setbacks. For example, when the Immortal Dragon Ring helped him reincarnate, something went wrong - he was reborn.
An eagle or a dog makes it difficult for him to take back the Immortal Dragon Ring in a short time, but before the eagle or dog dies, the Immortal Dragon Ring must return to its body so that the male protagonist can be reincarnated again.
Rebirth.
With this setting...the protagonist of this book is fixed, both the immortal dragon ring and the male protagonist.
Let go of those male protagonists who died one after another, let go of those book fans, and be sure to serve the book fans well!
…
Sun Quan was thinking about it on the lawn of the driving school and laughed at himself. Now he wondered if he had lost his mind. He actually liked to torture his book fans so much.
Thinking about it now, I can only say that he was a stick at that time!
