Hebei Province, a city's Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital
Shui Mingming was wearing a hospital gown and was lying on the hospital bed with an IV drip on his face.
She was admitted to the hospital two days ago. She was suffering from a common cold. She came to the hospital just to buy some medicine, but after seeing a doctor, she found out that she had several chronic diseases.
Just like that, Shui Mingming was hospitalized in a daze.
I was given intravenous drip every day from morning to night, and had to draw blood and do various tests. My appetite was greatly reduced, I felt groggy, and I had no energy.
Fortunately, the book "Life Grows and Hates Shui Changdong" was co-written by two people. When Shui obviously fell ill, there was another co-author, Dongdong Shi, who was there to support him.
The two call each other from time to time to exchange plot ideas, but updates are not delayed.
It would be miserable to be a struggling author. After a day of hard work, I have to code at night. The ward is too noisy, so I can only hide in the corner of the corridor or the stairwell, feeling lonely, weak and helpless...
He has been busy with treatment for the past two days and is not in a good state of mind. Apart from simply sharing the story with Dong Dongshi, Shui Mingming has limited knowledge of the outside world.
Although before she was admitted to the hospital, she knew that "The Prequel of the Lotus Lamp" had brought a lot of popularity to the book, but after she was admitted to the hospital, Shui Mingming didn't have much idea of how much the popularity had grown.
Knowing that Dong Dongshi called her excitedly.
"Sister Mingming, our book has become popular, hahaha. Director Zuo personally posted a recommendation for a scarf, and subscriptions skyrocketed overnight. The discussion in the group went crazy."
"Out of the circle? Left lead scarf?"
Shui Mingming was a little confused, but after a few words, he understood what was going on and quickly opened the author's backend on his mobile phone.
Sure enough, she took a look at the data yesterday morning. Compared with yesterday, the number of subscriptions has increased by 1/30, and there are also many rewards, including some large rewards.
Don’t underestimate this 1/30 subscription.
The book "Life Is Ever Hateful" was previously boosted by the popularity of "The Prequel of the Lotus Lamp", and its subscription data is quite impressive.
This 1/30 subscription, plus those large amounts of rewards, is equivalent to "Life Long Hate Water Changdong" earning tens of thousands of dollars in one night. Even if the royalties have to be divided equally between her and Dong Dongshi, it is not a decimal.
.
And the most important thing is that this is just the welfare feedback brought about by the popular debut of "Life is Long and Hate Water is Long East" on the first day.
If the popularity can be maintained for as long as possible in the future, I believe that the royalties for "Life and Hate Water" will explode this month.
Before, Shui Mingming was a little worried about the medical expenses and post-nutrition expenses for this hospitalization, but now he doesn't worry about it at all.
Even Shui Mingming began to think about whether she should buy those high-priced nutritional supplements that were beyond her reach before to replenish the energy she had lost during this period.
A certain bitter author is once again envious and jealous...
………
After the initial excitement, Shui Mingming's mental state improved a lot. He no longer lay sickly on the bed. Instead, he sat upright and opened his phone with great interest to check out Zuo Lefa's recommended scarf.
Zuo Le's scarf didn't have much to say. It was filled with the words "sincere love and sincerity."
Shui Mingming flipped through the comments, and after careful exploration, he discovered a very interesting phenomenon.
Not long after Zuo Le was given out a scarf, some of his comments generally said, "Recommended by Director Zuo, I'll read it immediately", "I really like "Lotus Lantern" and support its fan fiction", "It's rare to give out a scarf, and it turned out to be
It’s interesting to recommend the book” and so on.
After about a few hours, the first batch of netizens who had read the book came back, and the comments immediately changed.
[I believe you, you are a bad old man, you are very bad]
[Damn it, my eyes are swollen from crying in the middle of the night, how can I go to work tomorrow]
[When you are touched by a scene, you will take up two words, touch by life]
[Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu My mother thinks I'm broken in love and is judging me]
[Can you do something a little more human-like in the future?]
【(╯‵□′)╯︵┻━┻】
【……】
The comment area was originally in a mess, but I didn't want to curse, and I didn't know the wizard, so he suddenly did the opposite and followed Zuo Le's tone of voice and praised "Life and Hate Water Changdong" very much.
At first, everyone thought this person was crazy, but later some netizens who reacted quickly realized it.
You cannot keep "good things" to yourself, but give them to others. Only when everyone is "happy" together can you truly be happy.
So many people immediately reversed their stance and turned from scolding to praise. Other netizens later followed suit, and the comment area instantly turned into a large-scale deception scene.
[Director Zuo is right, this book is definitely a classic healing and refreshing article]
[That’s right, watch it once and enjoy it once]
[Laughing from beginning to end, I haven’t seen something so happy in a long time]
[As a 20-year-old bookworm, I guarantee that this book can be called the first healing article in a certain way. I saw the beauty of human nature in it and was particularly moved]
[Breaking news, this book is so cool]
[deeply touching and extremely pleasant]
[There is no routine of wanting to advance but suppressing first, just push it all the way, it’s very comfortable to watch]
[Highly recommended, if you tell lies, you will be struck by lightning. After reading this book, I was so excited that I couldn’t eat]
[Already recommended to family groups and friend circles, good articles are not to be missed]
[Hiss, are the friends above so cruel?]
[I learned it, and I’m going to compete with my friends now]
[Don’t...forget it, let’s put some incense on it]
【…………】
Shui Mingming was so happy after reading the comment section. She didn't expect netizens to be so helpful and spare no effort to help her get subscriptions.
What Shui Mingming didn't expect was that this wave of "enthusiastic book promotion" was just the beginning.
In the afternoon of the same day, Gao Mingjian, the director of "The Prequel to the Lotus Lantern", forwarded Zuo Le's scarf and was full of praise.
In the evening, Shen Teng, who plays the fifth brother, and Hong Tao, who plays Tianpeng, also joined in the fun. In addition, several supporting roles in the play also helped.
Enthusiastically added fuel to the fire of "Life is Long and Hate Water is Long East".
At around three o'clock in the morning, Jiao Jun, who plays Yang Jian, the most influential character in the "Lotus Lantern" series, was also "forced" to wear a scarf.
However, Jiao Jun still has some integrity in his work. He only said that this book is an excellent fan fiction and he admires the character Yang Jian portrayed in it. He did not mention confusing words such as "healing" and "shuangwen".
But even so, the influence that Jiao Junfa's scarf brought to "Life and Hate" is terrifying, even stronger than Zuo Le's scarf.
This is not to say that Jiao Jun is more famous than Zuo Le, but because most of Jiao Jun's fans are "Er Ye fans", and their attributes are highly overlapped with "Life Is Growing, Hate Water Changing", and they are also the best readership group.
If Zuo Le's scarf brings out the book "Life is Long and Hate Water is Long East", it is the best.
Gao Xinjian, Shen Teng and other main creators of the show, as well as Jiao Jun, who is the most popular among the people, Yang Jian personally recommended it, completely pushing "Life and Hate Water to the East" to the top of the fan fiction series.
This book is a total hit.
The skyrocketing number of subscriptions in the background every day made Shui Mingming giggle happily all day long. The nurse who gave her the injection thought that there was something wrong with the girl's brain and suggested that she go to a psychiatrist.
………
Of course, as the old saying goes - there are many people who are popular.
The same goes for books, of course.
The popularity of "Life is Long, Hate Water is Long East" quickly ushered in criticism after the initial collective praise.
Frankly speaking, "Life Is Ever Hateful of Water" is a book that is very privately owned by the author. It is not so much a fanfic of "Baolian Lantern" as it is a personal fanfic of Yang Jian.
And it's a fanfiction.
In the current serialized chapter, except for Yang Jian and Roaring Sky Dog, the other characters are not good. They almost exist as villains and have a very bad image.
In particular, Chen Xiang, Liu Yanchang, San Sheng Sheng, Ding Xiang and other protagonists of "Lotus Lantern" were all criticized.
Of course, due to the recent popularity of "The Prequel to the Lotus Lantern", Shui Mingming and Dong Dongshi have also made some modifications to some plots and added upright new characters like Yuding.
But even so, the overall style of the book is generally to praise others and criticize others.
Gao Xinjian, Jiao Jun and others sent scarves and wrote letters, but other actors in the "Lotus Lantern" series rarely responded, which is one of the main reasons.
In addition to the dislike of the actors who play these characters, fans of these characters and actors are also not very receptive to the adaptation of "Life and Hate".
No matter how brilliant Yang Jian is, not everyone loves him.
Some viewers prefer the protagonist group Agarwood, while others prefer the gentle and tough San Sheng Sheng Yang Chan.
As a result, they instinctively felt resistance, or even disgust, towards the book "Life is Long and Hate Water is Long East".
In addition, in terms of the overall quality of the book, "Life and Hate" is not particularly outstanding. Its strongest advantage is that the plot has excellent empathy for readers.
As long as you successfully substitute the plot in the book, then just wait and cry.
But equally, if you are not interested in the sadistic plot in the book, then your evaluation of the book will be greatly reduced.
To put it bluntly, "Life and Hate Water" is about Shui Mingming and Dong Dongshi, two "second master fans", who made in-depth brainstorming based on part of the plot settings of "Lotus Lantern".
Their stance has been biased from the beginning, and can even be said to be extreme.
This cannot be said to be wrong. It is precisely because of this deep and radical thought towards Yang Jian that the plot written by Shui Mingming and the two of them is extremely contagious.
But again, this kind of writing angle sometimes inevitably fails to take good care of the overall situation. Many characters have been flattened, and there are even quite a lot of intelligence-reducing operations.
In addition, Shui Mingming and the others later saw that readers generally reacted enthusiastically to sadistic plots. Out of the author's instinct to desire results, they began to add corresponding plots consciously or unconsciously.
So much so that some of the plots seem to be deliberately built up, to torture for the sake of torture.
This kind of operation may not be noticed by readers who are deeply involved in the plot, but outsiders can easily distinguish it.
There are many similar errors and omissions in "Life is Long and Hate Water is Long East". If I really want to find faults, I can easily pick a lot of them.
But then again, Shui Mingming and the others didn't intend to write it into a classic that would be handed down from generation to generation.
This book was originally written as a fanfic out of their love for the character Yang Jian. They never even thought it would become popular, they just used it for their own entertainment.
Objectively speaking, this book is an excellent fanfic with no flaws, and it can even be called a masterpiece of online literature in some aspects. It is indeed worth reading.
This is also true. Although the large amount of criticism puts Shui Mingming and the two under great pressure, the praise and encouragement that are only a lot more than the criticism also make them feel relieved.
At a certain point, news came out that a publishing house was interested in publishing a paper book of "Life is Long and Hate Water is Long East".
In addition, several film and television companies called, wanting to purchase the film and television rights to this book and adapt it into a movie and TV series.
There is even insider news that they plan to ask Jiao Jun to play Yang Jian again and participate in the filming of the film and television version of "Life and Hate".
The continuous good news accelerated Shui Mingming's recovery and made her even busier.
At the same time, she had to take time to make some detailed modifications to the previous plot with Dong Dongshi to improve the quality of the book as much as possible.
On the other side, the Shanhe Screenwriting Department, which is well-known in the entertainment industry, sent an invitation to Shui Mingming and his wife. They said that they wanted to hire them to join the screenwriting team.
This incident deeply touched Shui Mingming. Her family knew about her family affairs. Although she made a living by coding on the Internet, her talent was limited and her grades could only hover around the middle.
Although the book "Life is Long and Hate Water is Long" brought her great fame and a lot of income.
But Shui Mingming also knows that there are a lot of luck and accident factors in the popularity of "Life and Hate Shui Changdong" this time, and the next book may not be certain.
After all, Internet article writers are notoriously unstable professionals.
In contrast, although the screenwriting industry is not guaranteed to be profitable despite droughts and floods, it depends on where the screenwriter works.
For a top screenwriting team in the industry like Shanhe Screenwriting Department, the bonuses and benefits are very impressive.
The most important thing is that joining such a team is a great improvement for yourself.
And if she is lucky enough to be able to sign her name in a few mountain and river dramas and get a good qualification, then Shui will obviously be worth money.
Even after she leaves the Shanhe Screenwriting Department, she will carry with her the reputation of being a well-known online author and screenwriter, having participated in screenwriting masterpieces such as "XX" and "XXX", and she will not be short of food wherever she goes.
Besides, even if she joins Shanhe, it won't stop her from writing online articles part-time.
As for whether racking your brains and squeezing out two manuscripts every day will lead to baldness, that's another matter...
If he hadn't been ill, Shui Mingming would have taken a plane directly to Quancheng for an interview.
She had long been curious about Shanhe, an emerging entertainment giant. Even if she didn't succeed in joining Shanhe's screenwriting department, she could still make money by seeing the world and taking photos with a few celebrities.
………
Shui Mingming is gearing up to recuperate and prepare for an interview with Shanhe's screenwriting department. Shanhe is also watching the ratings of "The Prequel to the Lotus Lantern" with great anticipation.
Up to now, "The Prequel of the Lotus Lantern" has come to an end, and the average ratings of the entire series have reached nearly 3.5, with a Douhua score of 8.7.
Although it is not as good as "The Mansion Gate" which broke 4, but as a mythological drama, no one expected that "The Prequel of the Lotus Lantern" would have such high potential.
Not only has the ratings been booming, but word-of-mouth has also been on the rise. The official final rating given by the Douhua platform is expected to be between 8.8 and 8.9, which is almost the highest rating among 9-point masterpieces.
Lao Gao was almost so beautiful that his nose was bubbling, and he even said that "Lotus Lantern" was his lucky work.
Also, the first one successfully broke 3, and the prequel also achieved a double harvest in ratings and word-of-mouth. The overall performance is even comparable to the masterpiece "Seven Swords" series of Shanhe dramas.
Gao Xinjian feels that he is getting closer to his dream of being the "King of Mythological Dramas"...
