Internet writer?
Yin Lian was stunned for a moment after hearing this, but she felt somewhat disappointed.
What she wanted to find was someone who was professional enough to provide her with some more professional references, but online writers were obviously not in this range. Although the other party's information was collected quite completely, it was just collected information.
It is not the ability that the other party really possesses.
However, Yin Lian's disappointment only lasted for a few seconds, and she quickly adjusted her mentality. Although he is not a geologist or engineer, the immortal data has indeed been collected very thoughtfully and completely. This can actually be regarded as an ability - for Yin Lian, it is not completely useless.
Of course, she still asked Wu Mie how he collected this information. Immortal did not hide anything and said directly: "I have been writing related novels recently and collected a lot of information in this area. Although everyone now relies on online information, in fact, the content in many physical books will be more detailed and systematic. I I found a lot of related books, such as "Illustrated Book of Ancient Practical Weapons", "Examination of Chinese Weapons", "History of World Cold Weapons", "History of Technology", etc. These books all have very detailed and systematic descriptions of weapons. . After reading them briefly, you can almost have a systematic understanding of this aspect, and then use it comprehensively in the text."
So attentive?
Yin Lian couldn't help but ask: "Can I see the specific book list?"
Immortal said: "Wait a moment."
Then he took two photos. Both photos were very high-definition photos of the bookshelf. One of them contained various illustrated books, each one very thick. There were about five or six books. The other group is various special histories, including firearms, cold weapons, and ancient iron smelting history.
Yin Lian was speechless: "Have you finished reading all of this?"
Immortal replied: "I read it briefly and took some notes."
"is that useful?"
Immortal smiled and replied: "It is still somewhat useful. It is more useful than simply collecting information on the Internet." He explained, "It is actually useful to directly look up some targeted information when writing, but it is not easy to do so. Control the overall structural changes. If you read it through as a whole and have a comprehensive understanding of the history in this area, it will be easier to understand it when writing the article."
This is... really thoughtful.
Yin Lian said: "I have always thought that online novels are just for fun..."
Immortal thought for a while and said: "Most of them are. But this industry is also developing, physical entities have been shrinking, and e-books will be the mainstream of reading in the future. In this case, the development of the physical publishing industry to the electronic publishing industry is It is an inevitable trend that e-books must meet the needs of people at all levels.”
"There are those who love to read novels, and there are definitely those who require novels with strict logic and innovative stories. I am the latter type of reader, so I am unlikely to write the former type of works, even if they are more marketable... However, I put myself It’s also a skill to write down your hobbies and things you’re good at, and I’m working hard on this now.”
Yin Lian sent an expression to express understanding. But she still couldn't help but ask: "But checking so much information, isn't it time-consuming?"
"Kind of. But it's worth it."
What Immortality did not say is that it is certainly not worthwhile to write a story just for fun. Nowadays, the mainstream readers on the Internet are still mainly Xiaobaiwen. Although the serious homogeneity of works is a big problem, it is undeniable that following the trend of writing is more beneficial and more profitable in the short term.
But only truly good works can accumulate reputation. In the long run, it is actually more beneficial to do so. It just depends on what everyone chooses.
However, it is nothing to have a close relationship. He is not familiar with Yin Lian, so of course he will not express these thoughts so directly. It seems that he is particularly arrogant, which is not a good thing.
But seeing Yin Lian hesitate for a moment, he said, "I wonder if you would like me to read your works?"
Naturally, Immortal will not refuse - the website owner of the private store is a rich man at first glance, and he will definitely not dislike the number of rich readers.
If he hadn't been lured by the prize, and if he had done similar homework when he was looking up information, Immortal wouldn't have wasted his time participating in such a competition.
His purpose in going to the weapons enthusiasts forum was to better search for information and find people to consult. His own purpose had always been to write an article - Immortality has not forgotten this.
He said: "Immortal is my pen name. I signed a contract with Boundary Chinese Network, you can go and take a look."
Then he sent Yin Lian an address.
Yin Lian was very curious about what kind of work Wu Mie would write after checking so much information. Yin Lian personally likes novels that involve a lot of new knowledge, but she also knows that for most people, this kind of content is not only unattractive, but even a kind of dyslexia, which is particularly disliked by people.
She actually wasn't optimistic about Immortality - well, in terms of popularity.
But the moment he opened the page, Yin Lian was stunned for a moment.
Just looking at data such as clicks, recommendations, and website rankings, Immortal's works are actually quite popular, and there's no hint of being disliked. Yin Lian clicked on it from the first chapter and took a look, but it got out of hand.
The novel is quite long. Compared with traditional online novels, it is more between a creative work and a light novel.
This article is called "My Heroic Spirits and Me". The story opens with a fourteen-year-old boy scheduled to participate in a large-scale martial arts competition, but was replaced by a wealthy senior brother before the competition. He went to question the owner of the museum, but the owner said that although he worked hard, he lacked talent. The male protagonist went home angrily. On the road, he met an antique dealer who was cheating. After giving him a lesson, the antique dealer begged for mercy for a long time, and finally escaped by cheating. , but hit the male protagonist with a rusty broken dagger, causing him to bleed.
The male protagonist took the broken dagger home and hung it with the ancient sword he collected. Unexpectedly, when I woke up the next day, I saw a beautiful girl in ancient costume hanging upside down where the ancient sword had been, sleeping soundly.
After the beautiful girl woke up, she even said hello to the male protagonist, as if she was very familiar with him. Later, both parties were shocked, and then the male protagonist realized that the beautiful girl turned out to be the ancient sword he collected.
And from here on, the male protagonist’s legendary martial arts career is revealed.
Immortality uses the soul of weapons as a medium to introduce a fantastic and magnificent history of cold weapons in the world. The arrogant King Wu Sword, the unruly Tang Dao, the silent and cold Xiuchun Dao, the innocent and heroic Yue Nu Sword, the extreme and angry Emei Ci, the petite and cunning Yuchang Sword... View history through the sword, and describe the history of swords and weapons. Characters, peeking into the traces they left in history, and at the same time opening up the male protagonist's upgrade path.
This is a story that is cute, exciting, and tearful. The vicissitudes of history that the weapons have encountered are deplorable. Their ambiguity and homosexuality with the male protagonist caused the harem faction and friends (the homosexual faction to quarrel endlessly in the article), while the male protagonist counterattacked all the way to the martial arts hall and attacked the world-class warriors. The plot makes people excited.
Yin Lian couldn't stop reading it. Unfortunately, this article was being updated. It only had more than 300,000 words at the moment. For a male video article, it was still pitifully thin.
Yin Lian went to read the author's old articles.
The old text is much worse than the new text, and the writing and rhythm are not as good as the new text. But Yin Lian still finished reading both novels, and then discovered two things.
Each book in Immortality is a huge improvement over the previous one.
Yin Lian had seen film and television adaptations of his works - in a previous life.
Because he neither pays attention to the Internet literary circle nor the film and television circle, when Yin Lian first saw the name Wu Mie, he actually had no association with his identity.
But when she saw Wu Mie's second work, the fairy novel "Yunjianzhi", Yin Lian instantly remembered it - she was particularly impressed by this work, because this film was written by Yin Changsheng Yin Qianai filmed "The Beauty" at the same time, and it was a huge hit.
It is also an adaptation of an online novel, and it also requires a huge investment. "Yunjianzhi" has become the most successful case of online works, but "The Beauty" failed miserably. Although the two works are completely different in genre, they cannot be overpowered. Xia Yin Qianai's anger.
The most important thing is that there is a new actress in "Yunjianzhi", who also has a certain background, but she became famous with the heroine's lovable character and decent acting skills, and she is often used as a reference. Compare it to Yin Qianai. Yin Qian'ai is always bitter when speaking to others - her mental capacity is not good to begin with, so she failed to control herself in public and caused a lot of dark history, which is simply a joy to watch.
...It turns out that this novel is actually his work?
Yin Lian suddenly became much more enthusiastic about Wu Mie, and even generously voted for him as a leader. Wu Mie didn't know what was wrong, and his affection for Yin Lian suddenly increased greatly, and he said a lot to Yin Lian smoothly.
Yin Lian was determined to build a good relationship, so he naturally cooperated and complimented her in various ways. The two instantly hit it off and talked happily. Yin Lian usually has limited patience with Zhong Quewen, but when chatting with Wu Mie, he acted like "I am available at any time, and you are welcome to chat with me about the story at any time", which immediately made Wu Mie very fond of him.
Afterwards, the two chatted for a while, and Yin Lian casually asked a few questions about his thoughts on time travel stories. The theme was probably "How to conquer strange and different types of worlds after time travel".
This question may be nonsense to others, but it is very natural for male video authors who write upgrade streams, and it is a very common chat topic.
Wu Mie said: "If we talk about how to conquer the world after time travel, there are actually several schools, mainly the wisdom stream, luck stream and cheat stream."
Yin Lian made a listening expression.
Wu Mie briefly talked about his views on this aspect. He said: "...Many people are very concerned about issues such as copyright and patents, and have strong opinions on the book-copying stream. In fact, if you really travel through time, the book-copying stream may not be a way out. From a survival point of view, Our civilization system recognizes all crimes for the sake of survival. And if survival is the premise, all the knowledge and wisdom you possess is capital. This is a concept that most people subconsciously recognize, and intellectual property rights only exist if they are relevant The world of law can be used on a trial basis, but we must first realize this premise.”
"Then it's easy. When entering a world, you must first understand the background and customs of the world. It is important to do as the locals do when you are in the country. But if you are writing a story, you only need to mention a few sentences about this part. Unused settings are not needed. Put it forward at the beginning. The second point is to 'change' the world as much as possible. This feeling seems to be a bit conflicting with doing as the Romans do... But whether it is a time-travel novel or other upgrade flow, in fact, many times what readers want to see is The protagonist confronts the world, and the protagonist wins. In the early stage, we can let the world change the protagonist, but in the later stage, we must become the protagonist and change the world, otherwise it will not be a cool novel."
Yin Lian is actually not interested in Wu Mie's writing experience, but this does not prevent her from drawing parallels from Wu Mie's words.
"Change the world...?"
"Yes, the influence and achievements of the protagonist actually lie in how much change he has made in the world. Although I am a logician, I am very opposed to someone directly restricting the plot for the sake of the strict logic of the story. Sometimes when faced with difficulties We must have the courage to endure hardships and dangers. Wealth and wealth can be found in danger... This has been the truth since ancient times."
