Gui Wu's reading speed is not very fast. In fact, authors with good writing skills generally do not read books very fast, because these authors have been accustomed to reading articles slowly since they were students. It is precisely because they are used to reading slowly, so
They can produce more things from the same article, and therefore, when they write something by themselves, their writing skills are often better than others.
In contrast, those authors who read articles at a glance will generally have rougher writing styles.
Fortunately, "The God-Slaying Sword in the Cloud" currently only has tens of thousands of words, so it didn't take long for Gui Wu to read all the published contents of this book.
After reading it, his expression was a little strange.
His eyes are still staring at the words on the computer screen, but if you look carefully, you will find that his eyes are not focused, and he feels a little dazed.
After a while, he sighed softly and came back to his senses.
He shook his head slightly with a complicated expression, not knowing what it meant.
Coincidentally, his close friend Lao Goose sent him a QQ message at this time.
There is a fact - Lao Goose, the platinum great, has been having a hard time in the past two years.
Because in the past two years, he has published several new books, and without exception, he has read them all. When he read the first book, he cut his losses in time, made a quick profit, and lived up to his youthful reputation, and sold that book.
Book fans forgave him because of the reputation and love of his previous two books.
When the second new book came out, Lao Goose once again swung the knife at himself. He was quite cruel to himself. Some book fans may be afraid of the master who is so cruel to himself and quietly slipped away from his group of book fans.
, dare not stay any longer.
When the third book hit the street again, I didn't know what Lao Goose was thinking. Maybe he was a habitual eunuch? He once again swung the knife at himself. When the knife went down, he didn't feel anything. He just felt that he was like this.
I've had some bad luck for the past two years. I always pounce, which makes me feel a little frustrated.
However, he used the knife to become a quick act three times in succession, which left a terrible impression on book fans.
Many book fans have left, and some die-hard book fans also expressed that they can no longer hold on.
At the same time, in the eyes of editors and peers, Lao Goose's divinity had been greatly damaged, so when he opened his fourth new book, his popularity was no different from that of a third-rate author's new book.
In addition, his new book did not make any breakthrough in terms of creativity and writing, so it could not establish a good reputation. A few days ago, he once again chose to use the knife on himself and cut off the new book.
After reading four new books one after another, Lao Goose himself realized that the situation was very bad. Among other things, after the recent release of this new book, many of the old book fans he was familiar with had not seen it.
Regret is inevitable.
He began to regret how he had cut so many books. However, time could not go back, so he cut it even if he didn't want to. In the past month or so, he had not dared to open new books casually.
Even the communication with Gui Wu has become less.
Gui Wu knew about his situation.
He tried to persuade Lao Goose more than once, but he never did, and there was nothing he could do.
Regarding Lao Goose's deteriorating situation in the past two years, Gui Wu is sympathetic and helpless.
Is Lao Goose’s writing good?
People in the industry who have read Lao Goose’s works probably don’t dare to say that Lao Goose’s writing is not good. A few years ago, Lao Goose’s book “My Big Star Girlfriend” became popular because of his writing style and the delicate emotional lines in the book.
Internet literary circle.
It was also because of that book that I signed a platinum contract with Lao Goose.
After that, Lao Goose wrote a sequel, and the results were still good.
But as soon as he started writing other stories, he started writing them one after another.
Lao Goose's experience was also a basis for Gui Wu's previous judgment that Xianyu, Lao Sun, would enter a state of sluggishness in the next few years.
Because Lao Goose is also a representative figure who peaked when he debuted. After the peak, what else can happen but decline?
Old Goose: "What do you think of me writing a new book in the same style as "The Sword of Gods in the Clouds"?"
This is the message Lao Goose suddenly sent to Gui Wu.
Gui Wu blinked, frowned and replied, "Have you read this book too?"
Lao Goose "Well, this book has been so popular recently, and I was thinking about the new book, so naturally I had to read it. I think the idea of this book is quite novel, and it has a mysterious atmosphere in the city, which is a bit like me.
How did you feel when you first read "The Ancient Covenant"? Have you also read this book "The God-killing Sword in the Clouds"?"
""Ancient Covenant"? Is this book too old?" Gui Wu muttered, typing a reply on his hand, "Well, I just finished reading it, it is quite new, but what you have always been good at is pure urbanism, are you sure you can
Can you write this type of book well? I feel like there will be more and more fighting scenes in the middle and later stages of this book. Didn’t you rush into your previous new book that had fighting scenes?"
Old Goose: "Don't look down on people so much, okay? Who can be naturally good at something? If I'm not good at it, I can practice slowly! What? You don't like me writing this kind of subject?"
Gui Wu sighed and replied, "Why don't you try writing purely urban stories? Isn't it better to use your strengths and avoid your weaknesses?"
It took a while for Lao Goose to reply to Gui Wu this time.
Lao Goose "Do you think it's easy to write a purely urban book? My last book was a purely urban one, but didn't I give in? Okay! I know your opinion, let me give it a try! Let's see if I can write it.
With this kind of subject matter, I can’t do it without giving it a try. If I don’t give it a try, I will be completely defeated.”
Gui Wu sighed again and replied, "Okay! Then you can try it!"
…
How creative is "The Sword of Killing Gods in the Clouds"?
In fact, people who have read the beginning of this book have different opinions.
Some people say that the creativity of this book is great and groundbreaking. There is a mysterious atmosphere in the city. The modern society, which was originally defined as the age of the end of the Dharma and the era of spiritual energy exhaustion, has been transformed because of the mysterious "mirage" phenomenon that appears from time to time in the clouds.
Gradually there are signs of spiritual recovery.
This kind of writing method had basically never been seen before the publication of "The God-killing Sword in the Clouds", both by authors and readers in the circle.
What kind of creativity do authors often write about and readers often see?
Either modern people travel to ancient times, or ancient people travel to modern times. Those who are good at writing fairy tales often have the protagonist travel to the ancient times, such as the era after the creation of Pangu, or the last years of the Yin and Shang Dynasties during the "Feng Shen Bang" period.
An author who is good at writing about martial arts may time-travel the male protagonist to the Qin, Han, Tang and Song dynasties, or may time-travel the protagonist to the Republic of China period like "Fist of Fury".
An author with a bigger brain, who is confident enough in his writing skills, or who wants the story to take place in a modern city to give readers a better sense of involvement, may be able to let a master from ancient times travel to modern society.
At this time, the Internet literary circle was already full of elements of time travel and rebirth.
Only a few great masters, such as Tomato and Chen Dong, do not use these two elements to write original stories about aboriginal protagonists in the world of fairy tales or fantasy worlds.
In addition, it is not that there are no fighting novels in modern society, there are even many genres.
For example, when writing about the world of cultivation in modern society, they often never mention the Dharma-ending era or the exhaustion of spiritual energy. They simply tell readers that the real world you usually see is actually just the tip of the iceberg. In this seemingly peaceful real world,
Underneath, there is a mysterious underground world that you don't know about. There are legendary sword fairies and legendary demons here.
For example, the story about the inheritance of ancient martial arts into the modern world is similar to the previous one. The author will tell you, do you think that ancient martial arts have perished? No! no! no! No, in fact, ancient martial arts have never been destroyed. He is just hiding in the world.
You can't see them in the underground world. Do you think they intentionally don't let you see them, and the official part intentionally covers them up? What? Traditional martial arts in the real world are all about embellished fists and embroidered legs? A certain martial arts master was beaten by another boxer again.
Oh? Ah? The Sanda practitioner also beat up a martial arts master?
No, no, no! Those martial arts masters known to you are actually liars. The real ancient martial arts circle does not let them play at all. They have no real inheritance of internal skills and mental methods. Practicing martial arts without practicing martial arts is of course in vain. They
Getting beaten up is so normal!
Another example is writing about some mutants. For example, the male protagonist is unlucky and falls off a cliff when he goes out to play. However, there is a river under the cliff. The male protagonist falls into the river and is miraculously swept into the underground river. What is even more magical is
There is a mysterious cave with no water in the underground river. After the male protagonist went in, he picked up a certain jade pendant, but because he accidentally stained the jade pendant with his own blood, the male protagonist got the mysterious certain something in the jade pendant.
Power has since opened the splendid life of Niubikras. When he meets the strong, he becomes strong, when he meets the bad, he becomes auspicious, when he meets the women, he pushes away, and he has countless queens.
…
There are really many similar ways of writing, and the creativity is endless!
However, there seems to be no online novel written about the end of the Dharma era when the spiritual energy is exhausted, and the male protagonist starts to compare with others because the whole world begins to recover spiritual energy.
At present, the number of words in "The God-killing Sword in the Clouds" is still small, but those who have read the current chapter of this book have already discovered that this book is unique.
——Because the spiritual energy is revived, and compared to cows, there seem to be many, many more people, far more than just one male protagonist.
In the current chapter plot of this book, there is a plot like this
As a huge figure appeared in the clouds in several places around the world, and after it collapsed between the sky and the earth because of a black giant sword on its body, the news began to report one after another strange stories.
First of all, it was revealed in the entertainment industry that martial arts stars accidentally injured or even killed their rival actors while filming.
These news appear in the male protagonist's line of sight and in front of the readers' eyes in the same way that the male protagonist Lin Yun reads news on his mobile phone.
First, there was a rising actor in an action movie. During the filming, he punched the second female lead in the opposite role to the point where her ribs were fractured and she vomited blood on the spot.
The news made this matter a big deal, but before the melon-eaters could finish the melon, it was revealed in the news that the popular martial arts superstar, Yu Jing, while filming a new movie, punched his co-star.
A certain little fresh meat was beaten until his chest collapsed, and he coughed up blood and died on the spot...
…
When the actor Lin Yun saw this news on his mobile phone, he also saw someone in the news comment area saying, "Yu Jing, we know you can fight, and we also know that you have always disliked young meat, but you can't understand Gui."
I can’t stand it, wouldn’t it be too much to just beat someone to death on the set?”
