While Fang Yu was accompanying Su Youmeng to the supermarket, the topic of "Feng Shen" was raised to a new level on Weibo.
Originally, the popularity of the topic #localtyrants spending huge sums of money for "Fengshen" was gradually declining, but now the discussion is suddenly high again.
The cause was a video posted by a novel author.
The general content of the video——
"Some online novels have no logic at all and are made up randomly. Recently, I even saw a novel about 'gods', which added the respected gods with the author's own dirty thoughts. It was so vulgar that it couldn't be tolerated. , is simply an insult to our traditional beliefs. Such novels should be boycotted, but what is chilling is that so many people still follow it. It is simply an evil trend!
Although there is such a thing as a reward of 1 million, will anyone really reward such a high amount after reading the novel? Sometimes it’s time to take charge of the online literary world. "
Like the Earth, the Dragon Kingdom also has myths and legends. However, the contents of some legends may be slightly different from those on the Earth, but the differences are not very big.
The blogger who posted this TV clip is named Zhang Deng. He is also a novelist and has written a novel called "The Great Emperor".
This novel can be said to be his famous work. Even though it has been completed for 5 years, it still ranks first in the sales list all year round.
I originally thought that this book was just his beginning, but unexpectedly it was his peak. After this book, he never wrote another decent novel.
Purely relying on this novel to rest on her laurels, Chunchun can still earn nearly 80,000 yuan every month. Moreover, the website will award an additional 10,000 yuan bonus every month for the first place on the overall list.
However, just two years ago, a newcomer named Xiang Tianxiao wrote a book called "The Legend of Sword and Fairy", which directly knocked him out of the top spot on the overall list.
His "The Great" could only rank second in the overall list. Not only did the royalties shrink significantly, but even the reward of 10,000 yuan was reduced to 5,000.
He had already complained a lot about this two years ago. After all, now he has no job, no career, and has not written a second book on fire. He relies entirely on "The Great" to support himself.
The decrease in royalties made his life much more difficult than before, and he felt even more unhappy.
But he didn't have an attack at that time. He thought, at best, he would work hard and write another popular novel as soon as possible.
As a result, two years have passed and still not a single book has been written.
Not only that, after Xiang Tianxiao finished "Sword of Immortality", he wrote another book "Feng Shen", which pushed his "The Great", which was ranked second on the overall list, to the third position.
Moreover, websites are now strongly recommending Xiang Tianxiao's new book. His 7-year-old book "The Great", which has been completed for 7 years, is not recommended as much as before. Less recommendation means less royalties. .
As a result, his royalties have been shrinking again and again. In addition, he has been busy writing books in the past few years, and he has been burdened with mortgage and car payments. He feels irritable and depressed, and his personality has become aggressive.
In his mind, he put the blame on Xiang Tianxiao, thinking that if it weren't for Xiang Tianxiao, his income would not be so small.
After seeing someone reward Xiang Tianxiao 1 million in one breath, he immediately broke the defense.
1 million, someone actually gave it to me!
Jealousy, doubt, anger, dissatisfaction, and a series of other emotions were mixed together, making him restless even when sleeping.
The siltation of the past two years completely broke out at this moment, so I released such a video on the short video platform.
Although Zhang Deng did not mention any names in the short video, just listening to the content, it is difficult not to think of the recently popular "Feng Shen"
In the Dragon Kingdom, there are also novels about gods and demons, among which "Feng Shen" is the most popular, and it can even be said to have created a new system and genre.
The popularity of "Fengshen" has been very high recently, and it's hard not to remind everyone of the book written by Xiang Tianxiao, and the "1 million reward" mentioned at the end of the video is definitely referring to "Fengshen".
Zhang Deng is also an old writer, somewhat famous and has many fans.
So as soon as his video was released, it quickly attracted a lot of attention.
After reading what he said in the video, many of his fans and netizens who watched the excitement felt that what he said seemed to make sense.
People came to support him and wish him success.
Soon, rumors spread all over the world that "Fengshen" insulted the gods and faked rewards.
Seeing how popular it was, Zhang Deng even shot to the top of Douyin’s hot list.
So he took advantage of the popularity and posted another video——
"It is recommended that novel websites strengthen the control of their novels. Some subject matter has a bad influence on young people. The content is bloody and violent, which will mislead children's understanding and cause children to have a wrong understanding of gods. It is better to block them directly!"
Although there are many people supporting him, there are also many fans of Xiang Tianxiao, and it is impossible for readers of "Feng Shen" to watch him say "Feng Shu" without being indifferent.
So they all went to Xiang Tianxiao Weibo and the book review area to call Fang Yu.
[Xiang Tianxiao, someone has stolen the house, why don’t you come out and say a few words? 】
[Hey, Xiangshen, someone wants to seal your book! Don't care? 】
[Laugh to the sky, we will always support you! 】
[Come on and update, don’t think too much, the book must not be sealed! 】
[Go back quickly, I don’t want the book to be gone, it’s my spiritual food! 】
Of course, what they didn't know was that Xiang Tianxiao was visiting the supermarket with Su Youmeng at this time, preparing ingredients for a party in the evening.
I don’t have time or opportunity to go online, and I haven’t seen any comments on the Internet.
…
Beside a fish pond in Kyoto.
Hou Lanzhen was sitting by the fish pond, holding a fishing rod in his hand and arranging it, but he hadn't started fishing yet.
A slightly fat middle-aged man came towards him carrying fishing equipment and sat down next to him.
"How long have you been here? Every time I ask you to go fishing, you always arrive first, hahaha..."
The middle-aged man pressed the bait and said with a smile.
Hou Lan glanced at him: "You haven't been here long, you just have too many things to do. It's not easy to ask you out to fish just once!"
"There is no way!" The middle-aged man threw the fishhook into the pond: "I have to handle the affairs of the Writers Association, otherwise my position as president will be in vain!"
This middle-aged man is Zhang Zong, the president of the National Writers Association. He likes fishing and often watches Hou Lan's fishing live broadcasts. Gradually, the two became more and more familiar with each other. After meeting in real life, they became fishing friends.
After saying that, he took a closer look and saw that Hou Lan's fishhook was straight.
I instantly thought of a character in a certain novel. Jiang Ziya used a straight hook when fishing, and those who wished would take the bait.
Surprised, he asked: "You also watch "Fengshen"??"
Hou Lan was stunned for a moment, glanced at his fishhook, and said with a smile: "Yeah, I saw it by chance, I thought it was quite interesting, hahaha... The author is Xiangtian Xiaoba, who you have always told me about, before , you told me that you wanted to meet him, but I still didn’t quite understand it. Now I finally understand. He is indeed a very talented person! If you see him in the future, call me too. I also want to meet him. !”
Then he added: "I have always been curious about whether Jiang Ziya in the book can actually catch fish with a straight hook. Let me try it, hahaha..."
Zhang Zong was almost laughing at his actions, and he patted his shoulders several times: "You must have become obsessed with reading novels! Hahahaha..."
At this moment, Hou Lan's cell phone rang. He originally thought it was a text message, but when he took it out, it turned out to be a recommendation message.
Because he has recently become obsessed with "Fengshen", big data often recommends him the hot topics of "Fengshen".
He just glanced at it and his expression froze.
He raised his head and said to Zhang Zong: "Someone criticized "Feng Shen" on the Internet and suggested that "Feng Shen" be blocked!"
"What?" Zhang Zong immediately went over to check, anger appearing on his face.
"Which platform is this news from? I'm going to take a good look at who can say such a thing!"
