Zhou Hexuan's version of "Legend of the Galactic Heroes" was actually completely messed up after 300,000 words. So he wrote very slowly, and it was very possible that the book was over 5 million words long and he still couldn't finish it. Anyway, Zhou Hexuan himself felt that the more he wrote, the worse he got.
.
Tanaka Yoshiki's original version is a "space opera-style long fictional historical novel". Without a bunch of complicated attributions, it is an "opera-style novel", which can also be called a "heroic knight novel". Therefore, "Legend of the Galactic Heroes"
"The protagonist in "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" has a high status and can even reverse the direction of history, just like Zhuge Liang did in "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms".
At the beginning, Zhou Hexuan just copied the original text, but as he continued to copy it, he found it boring.
Since time traveling, Zhou Hexuan has experienced warlord melees, the Northern Expedition, the Central Plains War, the Japanese invasion, and the national resistance war. He has also met a series of warlord politicians such as Chang Kaishen, Wang Zhaoming, Zhang Zuolin, Zhang Xueliang, Feng Yuxiang, Yan Xishan, and Liu Xiang. He
I deeply feel the insignificance of individuals in the torrent of history, and believe in "the times create heroes" rather than "heroes change the world".
Therefore, under Zhou Hexuan's writing, the tone of the entire "Legend of the Galactic Heroes" has changed, and it has evolved from a knight novel to a historical novel.
Of course, the overall framework of the universe and historical events have not changed, and are still carried out according to the design of the original author Yoshiki Tanaka. But the details have become much richer, with various political, religious, cultural, and technological backgrounds added, and many important supporting roles have also been added by Zhou Hexuan
Expand and focus on the description.
Zhou Hexuan's writing style is somewhat similar to Tolkien's creation of "The Lord of the Rings". He tries to avoid falsehood and create a real world. This includes the food and cooking habits of a certain planet, the normal life of civilians under a special political system, and how the two sides of the war are doing.
Competing with each other in technology, how do each other's politicians hold each other back, etc.
As a result, Zhou Hexuan gradually felt that he couldn't control it. He had already serialized more than 800,000 words, and "War of the Twilight of the Gods" hadn't even started yet. Who knows how long it would take to write it.
It is estimated that Zhou Hexuan's version of "Legend of the Galaxy Heroes" will not be completed before the end of World War II.
Tanaka Yoshiki's most criticized war descriptions were also filled up by Zhou Hexuan. Sometimes tens of thousands of words would be written during a single battle. The resourcefulness and leadership of Reinhardt and Yang Wen-li were further enhanced in these descriptions.
It is an obvious manifestation, rather than a dry brushstroke.
In Zhou Hexuan's version, military victory is only a part of history, a derivative of politics, and is greatly affected by economy, technology and culture. Even Yang Wenli's death in the end, Zhou Hexuan is prepared to use at least 50,000 words to lay out, "
The "Earth Cult" assassins are just tools used by others, and the real masterminds behind the scenes are the profit-seeking politicians on both sides.
To put it more mysteriously, in the weekly version of "Legend of the Galaxy Heroes", you can find many shadows of the Republic of China and World War II, rather than being derived from "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms".
Zhou Hexuan plans to copy the "Song of Ice and Fire" and also plans to make major changes to the original work. At least the political conspiracy cannot appear too childish and ridiculous.
Every writer has his own style, which mainly comes from their own experience. Except for the "Condor" trilogy and "Titanic", none of Zhou Hexuan's other novels are pure plagiarism ("The Little Prince" is a plagiarism)
, but not published, only telling stories to children). Especially after completing the original creation of "Goddess", "Dog Official", "Dog Official Gaiden" and "Black Earth", his writing style has become completely mature, which seriously affected
The style change of "Legend of the Galactic Heroes".
Zhou Hexuan's writing style can be described in six words: a strong sense of history.
Even if it is absurd, such as "The Goddess" and "The Dog Official", if you read it carefully, you can still feel the breath of history.
It is difficult for a writer who has not personally experienced war and chaos to write about this kind of flavor. Zhou Hexuan did not do it deliberately, he couldn't help but join in when he started writing, because these are his life insights.
…
On the train to Cambridgeshire, Zhou Hexuan was dictating the content: "...a huge dark figure, half-hidden in the blood-stained snowdrifts, soft and silent. The fluffy gray fur has frozen, and the rotten
While the smell was clinging to him, Bran vaguely saw that its dull eye sockets were filled with maggots, and its grin was filled with yellow teeth..."
"A Song of Ice and Fire" is not that troublesome. Just modify the conspiracy of all parties to a higher level, and the rest of the content can be copied by Zhou Hexuan. This thing is originally an entertainment work, since a certain procrastinator
Reluctant to finish the book, Zhou Hexuan simply made up his own ending.
Ma Jue accompanied him all the way, and since he had nothing to do, he simply became the recorder of the novel.
Ma Jue finally realized what it means to have "a spring of literary thoughts". The speed of her writing could not keep up with the speed of Zhou Hexuan's "creation" of novels. It was as if Zhou Hexuan already had a complete story in his mind, and even thought about the words and sentences.
Just tell it like a story.
"Woooooo~~~"
Amidst the sound of the whistle, the train gradually stopped. This was the town of Bletchley, the intermediate station from Oxford to Cambridge.
Ma Jue put away the pen and manuscript paper, shook his sore wrist, and said with a wry smile: "Sir, helping you record the novel is really laborious."
"Then I'll find someone else next time." Zhou Hexuan said with a smile.
"No," Ma Jue said with a smile, "It's actually quite interesting. The story you told is very exciting. It's just..."
Zhou Hexuan asked: "Just what?"
Ma Jue reminded: "Just don't publish it in China, because it has nothing to do with the Anti-Japanese War and will definitely be criticized by other writers."
"I know, that's why it was published after the Anti-Japanese War." Zhou Hexuan said.
Ma Jue asked curiously: "Why don't you write novels like "Black Soil" again? China needs excellent anti-Japanese war literature."
Zhou Hexuan shook his head and said: "The writing of "Black Soil" was too tiring. Sometimes it made me dizzy and mentally depressed. As for the anti-war literary works, I can make "Captain of China" more exciting, that comic
It is more valuable to the Chinese people, and both intellectuals and the general public like to watch it."
Ma Jue sighed and said, "Oh, it would be great if there really was a Chinese captain in reality."
"China will get better one day." Zhou Hexuan consoled him.
In the second month after Zhou Hexuan came to the UK, the Japanese army carried out another round of large-scale bombing of Chongqing. Zhou Hexuan's six factories in the north and south banks of the Yangtze River were attacked. The walls were blown up in some cases, and the factory buildings were reduced to ruins in some cases.
The pharmaceutical factory on the Hechuan side is intact.
After three consecutive months of heavy bombing, the national government made a formal decision to declare Chongqing as the capital of the Republic of China in September.
This "capital" is permanent. Even if the capital is returned to Nanjing after the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, Chongqing will still be the companion capital of the Republic of China. In theory, even if Chiang Kai-shek moves thousands of miles away to Taiwan, he will still regard Chongqing as his companion capital.
The "Accompanying the Capital Order" issued by Chiang Kai-shek is to gather people's support, because the rear area can no longer hold up, and the war of resistance has ushered in the most difficult and dark period. The hardship and darkness here are not about the victory or defeat of the war, but that the economy and people's livelihood have been completely destroyed.
collapse.
During World War II, it only took half a year from the British evacuation from Dunkirk to the collapse of the economy, so that the United States had to switch to a credit model for selling arms.
This is true for developed countries like the UK, let alone China. War is really not that fun.
Well, the United States is an exception…
Everyone got off the car and went to a small hotel in the town. There is Bletchley Park 3 miles away. The architectural style is very unique, combining various styles of Victorian Gothic, Tudor and Dutch Baroque.
This is a good place for vacation, and Zhou Hexuan plans to buy the garden after the war.
Of course, it is impossible to buy it now, because it is the British wartime intelligence base, and all intercepted intelligence on the European battlefield is analyzed and summarized here.
The funny thing is, this garden is private property.
Sir Sinclair, the head of British MI6, suggested that the government pay for the purchase, but was rejected. Sinclair could only spend 7,500 pounds to buy the garden himself, and then brought in intelligence personnel to work.
When the war ends, Zhou Hexuan invests 10,000 pounds, and it is estimated that he can buy Bletchley Park. The garden covers a total area of 235 hectares, which is very large. It will be repaired and a small riding stable will be built every summer.
Came here with my family to escape the summer heat.
