I Just Want to Copy Books in Peace

Chapter 218 The new version of

After washing up, Du Caige didn't rush to return the phone.

He first went to the post bar and the fan group to read the comments of book friends.

Because the "Zhu Xian" serialized in the founding Chinese version is basically in a state of suspension, readers have long been looking forward to the ending.

This time, a lot of readers who are cash-strapped just bought the fifth book alone, wanting to have a sneak peek at the ending.

The ending of the original version of "Zhu Xian" on Earth has always been criticized. This time Du Caige made a lot of changes, and then asked the senior editor of Xinya Publishing House to revise and polish it.

Most of the characters have given an explanation.

As for Zhang Xiaofan's ending, although he still didn't stay with Lu Xueqi and didn't resurrect Baguio, it gave a fairly open ending.

I didn't use the original version. "The two just stood still, staring at each other. How many years, the sorrows of the world, are all in this deep look. Then, they laughed at the same time."

The original version is simply deceiving. So sloppy.

Du Caige's new version is written like this: After Lu Xueqi took over the first seat of Dazhu Peak, she was very quiet and thoughtful one day, and went down the mountain to travel. In Heyang City, she suddenly moved into an antique shop. I met Zhang Xiaofan by chance.

However, he saw Zhang Xiaofan sitting behind the counter with sleepy eyes, swaying and seeming to be dozing off.

A grey monkey hopped on his back, and a large yellow dog stuck its tongue out at his feet.

After Lu Xueqi approached, he looked up and looked calm and peaceful, like a commoner who just went out for a walk after eating, calmly nodding to his neighbors.

Lu Xueqi looked at him for a while, then smiled suddenly, like flowers blooming on the snow, "You are very different from what I imagined these years. However, this is fine."

Zhang Xiaofan threw away the grey monkey who was playing tricks on his back, and said lazily, "I have been cultivating Dao recently and suddenly understood some truths. Looking back at my past self, I was actually a little biased."

"Why do you practice Taoism?" Lu Xueqi asked.

"There are no words in the scriptures. Therefore, cultivating the Dao is just a matter of tracing back to the origin and returning to the beginning. What do you think, fellow Daoists?"

Dao friend? Lu Xueqi's heart trembled. After a long silence, he asked softly, "Your Dao is very interesting. I want to discuss Dao with you."

"But I want to see the shop."

"I'll help you see the store, and you accompany me to discuss."

Zhang Xiaofan looked at her with a smile on the corner of his mouth and did not refuse.

Lu Xueqi asked, "Is there any free room in the back?"

Zhang Xiaofan lazily said, "Yes."

Lu Xueqi walked in with her sword in hand.

Zhang Xiaofan looked at the street outside, there were a lot of pedestrians and a lot of traffic.

In the hustle and bustle, there seemed to be the sound of bells floating by, mixed with the faint smile of the woman.

He seemed to be staring at him with deep affection, but when he went to catch it, he was completely blank.

Zhang Xiaofan's smile did not change, he bent down and touched Rhubarb's head, and said softly, "Famous mountains and rivers, mountains and green mountains, white Lian Ziyan. After all, it can't compare to this soft red ten feet, the world of smoke and dust."

...

He glanced at the screen for a while, because many book fans have entered the officialdom, so now there are many people in the book group discussing.

Overall, it's ok.

The bad reviews are basically "I've taken my pants off, so you're going to show me this?"

Or "This is the end? Where is XXX? Where is XXXX? Haida doesn't plan to fill the hole?"

Unlike the "Zhu Xian" on earth, the book fans used various extreme ways to vent their dissatisfaction and anger.

Most people feel that it is not very satisfactory, but it is still acceptable.

The general opinion is that although there are some holes that have not been filled, "Zhu Xian" is already a classic.

Your requirements for classics are really low, Du Caige thought.

In a fair self-evaluation, Du Caige felt that the ending he wrote was not much better than the original.

It can be considered that the failing score of 55 points is barely turned into a passing score of 62 points.

That is, the score actually improves not much, but from failing to passing, it is indeed a leap, isn't it?

But in fact, the reason why "Zhu Xian" was evaluated as a bad ending,

Du Caige felt that it was because the pits were dug too much and could not be filled in the later stage, and because of various reasons, the ending was hastily.

And when Du Caige first started handling "Zhu Xian", he didn't have the idea to revise it himself, so he didn't expect to fill in those pits, such as about the Book of Heaven.

By the time he wanted to change the ending, it was already hard to come back, and some places couldn't be changed at all.

If you want to change "Zhu Xian" into a classic handed down that can stand scrutiny and test, and reach the heights of "The Condor Shooting Trilogy", "Swordsman", "Peerless Double Pride", and "The Legend of Chu Liuxiang", That is impossible unless it is refined and overhauled from the middle.

And if you do this, you will almost overthrow and rewrite the second half of the book.

Du Caige didn't want to bother to do this either.

"Zhu Xian" is indeed incomplete.

But even the little dragon girl is not perfect, there are imperfections. What if there are defects. The one who likes it will still like it.

He was just a porter, not a master of literature.

And he has too many things to do, he really doesn't have the time or experience to scrutinize a book of "Zhu Xian" repeatedly.

Put "Zhu Xian" down for now and do something else.

In the half month after it was put on the shelves, "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" is still imposing, and the order book has been rising continuously, and it has also continuously attracted new users to watch online articles.

It can be said that it is a foregone conclusion that "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" has become the top spot in the 2008 online literature circle.

You can even proudly say that if Du Caige stopped writing online articles, no book would be able to achieve the results of "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" in the next few years.

Of course, this is what Du Caige had expected.

On Earth, "Ghost Blowing Lamp" and "Zhu Xian" are not on the same level.

"Ghost Blowing the Lantern" and "Tomb Notes" both have physical sales of tens of millions of sets on Earth, and the film adaptation works also have a box office value of billions or even tens of billions.

As for "Zhu Xian", the physical publishing volume is only 2 million, and the film modification is only a few hundred million at the box office.

"Ghost Blowing the Lamp" doesn't need him to worry too much now.

He had already moved all the first four, and then he had the idea to combine the last four into one "Angry Eyes Xiangxi". Now he is writing "Xianjian" in his spare time, and he will start to write a little, and the progress is currently 50,000 words. The writing is not smooth, but the quality of the 50,000 words that have been completed is not bad.

As for "Xianjian", due to too many things recently, he is not moving fast, and currently there are only 200,000 words in the manuscript.

"The Legend of Sword and Fairy" written by Chu State, which is the version of the story of Xian 1, the original book is 410,000 words.

Du Caige has made some simplifications on it, which is more in line with the fast rhythm of online texts, but retains some classic dialogues and plots. It is expected that the final word count will be 330,000-360,000 words.

This is definitely not enough to support a complete online novel.

But in the writing training class, after chatting with the authors and the high-level founders of the Chinese website, Du Caige did not plan to spend too much time on "Xianjian".

At that time, he showed the first tens of thousands of words of "Xianjian" to the deputy editor-in-chief Qingyu and Lu Xudong, and talked about the subsequent plot.

The opinion of Qingyu and Lu Xudong is that he hopes that he can write at least 1 million words.

But Du Caige really didn't want to force it.

There are only so many plots in Xian 1, and more writing is the continuation of the dog's tail.

You can't write Linger to life anymore!

If you want to continue writing Xianjian, you can only write the story of Xian 2 and Xian 3 and Xian 4.

But he didn't want to write.

So the two guys gave him an idea: the gunman.

The first part of the story of Xian 1 was written by himself, and the latter part was written by him and given to the shooter to fill in.

"Is this bad?" Du Caige hesitated.

Qingyu said: "This is the norm in the online literature circle. Do you think that all the books of the great writers are written by themselves? Who has that time! Do you think people can really update 30,000 to 50,000 words every day? Let's not talk about online texts. , even in the physical field, this phenomenon is very common, and many famous families have several gunmen."

Lu Xudong also persuaded him: "Brother, don't give up your mind. Human energy is limited. If you want to write more fire books, relying on your own strength is definitely not enough."

Du Caige was not completely against it. After all, he had also considered before, providing ideas and outlines by himself, and finding someone to write some novels of a new genre.

Those novels of new genres, such as Infinite Stream and System Stream, will definitely attract a large number of readers for a while, helping the founding Chinese network to expand.

Just, let his own novel find the gunman? I'm already a gunman and a porter. Looking for a gunman? There's always something subtle.

After thinking for a long time, Du Caige gave the answer: "It's okay to find the shooter, but I will publicly tell you which chapter to start from. I will provide the outline and someone else will write it on your behalf."

"Why is this necessary, brother?" Lu Xu said eagerly, "This will definitely affect the results."

"Just consider it to satisfy my little moral cleanliness." Du Caige said.

You are a major shareholder, you are a beer, you have the final say.

Regarding the release of "Xianjian", it was settled like this.

"Ghost Blowing the Lantern" is Du Caige's attempt to make it a classic. In the future, he will rely on it to create a novel "tomb robbery universe", so it cannot be handed over to the shooter, but must be done by himself to ensure the highest quality.

If it wasn't to ensure the quality, he would have copied all the latter four without much trouble and effort!

And "Xianjian" can do this kind of attempt.

Someone from New Sprout Publishing House talked to him before, hoping that he can release the physical and online versions of "Sword" simultaneously. There is no need to publish the entire "Xianjian" at one time, it is better to sell it one by one.

However, the conditions have not yet been negotiated.

He and Lu Xudong and others agreed that regardless of whether the physical version should be released simultaneously, "Xianjian" will be released from July 15 anyway, and then they will start looking for gunmen according to the style of "Xianjian".

It doesn't matter if it is expensive, it must be of high quality. Make readers feel that as long as the original author continues to provide an outline, the quality of the novel will not decline.

If this arrangement is feasible, then he does not have to hand over some good ideas, but can write hundreds of thousands of words in his own name, and then hand it over to other gunmen to continue writing, and according to this model, put the world on earth. Many wonderful web articles from .

At least we must carry the best novels of each genre, so that web articles can flourish in Dahua.

National Art Stream, Flood Stream, Infinite Stream, System Stream, Qi Luck Stream, Shenhao Stream, Cthulhu Stream...

On the other hand, he can retain his energy and focus on transporting what can become a classic entity novel to create a compelling style. When he has money, he will quit the literary world, stop being a porter, and concentrate on making movies.

Wouldn't it be fun!
