A healing writer? No, it's a depressing writer!

Chapter 163: The more cruel, the more popular! Maybach on the viaduct on a rainy night! Death is also the way home! (4k)

Recently, a discussion has been sparked on the Internet:
“How do you describe the heavy rain without mentioning the rain?”

If you are a more literary friend, you should answer like this:
[I was standing under the sky, but I felt like I was trapped at the bottom of a lake.]

If you are a primary school student, you will easily write a short essay:

[In the early morning, I had a fever and no car, so my mother carried me to the hospital.]

If you are a little more stupid, you will shout out the second-year line from the Taiwanese idol drama:

[Stop, stop, don't hit me anymore.]

If you are a reader who has read "Dragon Race II: Eyes of the Mourner", you will probably only be replied with three keywords:
[Rainy night, viaduct, Maybach. ]

It’s a bit strange to say, in the few days after the college entrance examination.

Among the students, the most discussed topic is not how well someone did in the exam, or how someone got the predicted score of 600 points.
These days, the most discussed topic among junior and senior high school students is a youth magic fantasy literature.

The title of this book, a youth fantasy literature, is "Dragon Clan".

The time when "Dragon Tribe" was serialized in the magazine "Youth Preface" was also somewhat coincidental.

It happened to be right after the college entrance examination, which is the most relaxed and idle time for prospective college students.

Analyzing from the content of the novel——

"The Dragon Race" itself tells the story of a poor boy named Lu Mingfei, who, after the college entrance examination, receives an admission notice from Kassel College, a university, and a series of adventures that unfold from this.

This gives students who have just finished the college entrance examination and are about to enter university a natural sense of immersion.

Let’s analyze it from the perspective of the protagonist’s character——

Lu Mingfei is a kid who cannot be more unlucky, he does not have the family background like Caesar, nor the handsomeness and strength like Chu Zihang. Others have background and strength, but Lu Mingfei has nothing but one life, and when encountering problems the only thing he can do is to save his life.

He has a low sense of presence, and others will not take the initiative to discover his existence, and he will not take the initiative to tell others about his behavior and thoughts.

Even though he had lost a quarter of his own health and saved the unconscious and dying senior sister Nono from the Dragon King Norton, he did not take the initiative to tell Nono about this matter, but let Nono think of her fiancé Caesar as her savior.
He is fragile and sensitive, inferior but also strong.

From the perspective of a cool novel template, Lu Mingfei is not a qualified protagonist, but from the perspective of immersion, all the millions of inferior and sensitive kids in the world can find their own shadows in Lu Mingfei.
It is precisely because of the excessive substitution of [theme] and [character setting] that the "Dragon Clan" series of novels has become popular in the field of youth literature.

It has received unprecedented popularity!
Although high school students are at the peak of their physical functions and intellectual thinking, there is still something in common between hardworking high school students and lazy college students, that is, they are both particularly prone to hunger.

Lunch break.

The bell rang for the end of get out of class.

Students poured out of the classroom like a tide.

What was a little different from usual was that the hungry high school students did not go straight to the cafeteria, but rushed directly to the newspaper offices, bookstores, and newsstands around the school, vying for the first place.

"Boss, give me a copy of "Preface to Youth". Has "Preface to Youth" arrived yet???"

"Uncle Li, I came here first. I told you this morning to leave me a copy of "Dragon Clan"."

"Why are you like this? Do you understand first come first served? Go to the back of me."

"What? "Youth Preface" is sold out? Are there any classmates willing to exchange books with me? I have a copy of "Story Club" and a copy of "Friends Comics" here, I can exchange books with you."

No one is 18 forever, but someone is 18 forever.

This statement is absolutely correct.

Although the seniors in the third year of high school have already left school, it is still very difficult for the younger students in the first and second years of high school to grab a copy of the newly released "Preface to Youth" from the crowded and small newsstand.

The senior high school girls who were studying hard in the first and second year didn’t eat or drink, and even spent their lunch break to go to the bookstores and newsstands near the school to buy "Dragon Tribe".

What are the seniors in the third year of high school doing?
Is there any need to ask? The high school seniors who don't have to go to class and have already left school would naturally stay at home and read books.
"Dragon Race" has never been a traditional youth fantasy book. In a sense, it is a tragedy, a complete tragedy.

Everyone's fate is to die.

The fate of everyone has long been destined to die on the journey to slay the dragon.

At this moment, a considerable number of high school seniors who had just finished their college entrance exams and wanted to relax at home, held a magazine about the serialized version of "Dragon Tribe II: Eyes of the Mourners" in their hands, their eyes wet with tears, and they wailed in grief:
"Chu Tianjiao, you died so miserably!!!"

There is such a famous scene in "Dragon Race II: Eyes of the Mourner":

[On a rainy night, Chu Tianjiao drove a Maybach to pick up his son from school. When passing the viaduct, he accidentally entered Nibelungen, a virtual space created by alchemy. Anyone who intrudes can never leave here alive. In order to let his son Chu Zihang leave here smoothly, Chu Tianjiao resolutely stood in front of Odin, the father of the gods, with his mortal body.]

In the hearts of all fans of the book "Dragon Clan".

Just as you can only drive AE86 when going up a mountain, and Mercedes-Benz when climbing a tree, and you want to drive on a viaduct on a rainy night——

It can only be Maybach!

On that rainy night with heavy rain
Chu Tianjiao, who possesses super S-class bloodline, burst into blood three times and with the strength of a mortal, he confronted Odin, the father of the gods!

In order to cover up his son Chu Zihang's departure, Chu Tianjiao was left forever on the viaduct in the heavy rain, and Chu Zihang became the only survivor returning from Nibelungen.

When I saw with my own eyes a mortal, Chu Tianjiao, at the cost of his own life, to fight against Odin, the father of the gods
Everyone who saw it sighed:

"Chu Tianjiao, you died so tragically!"

What is fatherly love?

This is called fatherly love!

Even if they don't care about it at ordinary times, if the child is really in a life-and-death crisis, they will choose to sacrifice their own life without hesitation!
Many years later, whenever Chu Zihang recalled what happened on the viaduct, he would feel extremely hateful.

He hated himself for leaving his father alone on the overpass!

He hated himself for not being able to die with his father in the Nibelungen battle!

For a boy, being able to die on the battlefield with his father is undoubtedly the highest honor.

But for a father, letting his son die on the battlefield with him is the greatest shame for a father.
"Zihang, go, go quickly!"

“Don’t look back.”

Whenever Chu Tianjiao's ferocious roar rang in his ears, whenever he thought of this scene -

The readers' hearts will be filled with great pain!

An ordinary bungalow.

A thin boy with an ordinary appearance, flipping through the book "Dragon Tribe II: Eyes of the Mourner", cried bitterly, tears streaming down his face:

"Is this how you die?"

"Did he really die in battle?"

"Chu Tianjiao, I won't allow you to do that. Come back to life as soon as possible."

The age of seventeen or eighteen is when imagination and empathy are most abundant.

Whenever he recalled how Chu Tianjiao, a mere mortal, fought against Odin, the father of the gods, he felt as if he had taken a strong drug.
Can't calm down for a long time!

There are very few books that can truly touch one's heart like this!
There are very few books whose plots can be so fresh in his memory!
"Chu Tianjiao, you are so miserable, wuwuwuwuwuwuwu"

The dinner table.

Looking at my son who had just finished the college entrance examination, he should have been in high spirits and happy, but now he became broken, sensitive and crying.

Seeing the child's sad look, his father immediately felt puzzled:
"No, what did you do? Why are you crying like this?"

Unexpectedly, he hadn't finished speaking yet.

The boy raised his head and stared at him seriously:
"Dad, are you willing to die for me?"

The old man was a little confused when he heard this: "No, you are stupid because of studying too much???"

Seeing Dad hesitate.

There was a clear flash of disappointment in the boy's eyes:
“I knew you couldn’t do it.”

The boy filled the bowl in his hand with rice, then placed the rice on the table and firmly inserted three chopsticks into it.

After doing all this, he began to bow to the bowl and chopsticks:

"Chu Tianjiao, have a safe journey."

“Salute to the great fatherly love.”

Just eat, and while eating you suddenly want to kill me and let your father die?

It's ok that you just talk crazy, but you also light incense on the dinner table and bow to it?

"This is too filial."

I saw that the boy was starting to go crazy again, and began to cry and bow to the dining table.

Dad warned him:

"I'm only telling you this once, you should eat with manners, put all these things away from your table."

However, in the face of his own warning, it seemed as if he had turned a deaf ear to it. The boy still had that desperate look on his face, crying and bowing as usual.

See warning to no avail.

The old man put out his cigarette and slowly took off his Seven Wolves belt from his waist:
"Fatherly love, huh?"

"Today I'm here to give you a good experience."

There are three most praiseworthy emotions in the world:

Affectionate.

love.

friendship.

There is no doubt that when "Dragon Tribe II: Eyes of the Mourners" was serialized to the plot where Chu Tianjiao fought against Odin, the father of the gods, to cover his son's retreat, and finally died.

The entire book club was filled with wailing:

"I just wanted to find some lighthearted books to read during the holidays, but how come they suddenly became so heavy? I feel so uncomfortable now."

"Lu Mingfei lost his best friend Lao Tang at the bottom of the sea, and Chu Zihang lost his father on a rainy night. So who will be the next to die?"

"No way? Someone's going to die? Goodbye, really."

"Why does a book that is labeled as a juvenile literature make me want to cry? Someone please save me."

Youth Foreword Magazine.

Editor-in-Chief's Office.

Editor-in-Chief Mo was at his desk, listening to a colleague from the sales department reporting on the sales of recent issues of magazines and periodicals:
[The first issue of "Youth Preface" sold 34.54 copies, a year-on-year increase of % compared to the same period last year. ]

[The second issue of "Youth Preface" sold 43.35 copies, a year-on-year increase of % compared to the same period last year. ]

[The three issues of "Youth Preface" sold 65.34 copies, a year-on-year increase of % compared to the same period last year. ]

"It is worth mentioning that the main buyers of these issues of "Youth Foreword" are generally graduates who have just passed the college entrance examination."

Although, I have already made some psychological preparations.

However, when we really saw that after "Youth Preface" reprinted "Dragon Clan", the sales volume actually exceeded an astonishing 700,000 copies?
This still makes Editor-in-Chief Mo hard to believe!

“What was the sales volume of the last issue of Yilin?”

In response to Editor-in-Chief Mo's question, the secretary quickly flipped through the documents in his hand, and then threw a number at him:
"The sales volume of the previous issue of Yilin during the same period was 590,000 copies."

It is hard to imagine that a third-rate magazine like "Youth Preface" could one day surpass a first-rate magazine like "Yilin"?
And it was not a victory by a slight increase, but an overwhelming victory!

Witness this historic event with your own eyes.

Editor-in-Chief Mo looked very excited, and his hand holding the cigarette was shaking slightly:
"We, the Youth Foreword, also have the potential to become the best generals in the world."

According to the sales department's statistics, when "Dragon Clan" is serialized to some more heartbreaking plots, such as:
【Lu Mingfei killed Norton and lost his best friend.】

[Chu Tianjiao fought against Odin, the father of the gods, and died.]

Not only will the sales of magazines and periodicals not be affected, but they will even increase significantly?

For example, in this issue, when the plot of [Chu Tianjiao's death] was serialized, the sales of the magazine soared from 500,000 copies to 700,000 copies, which is an increase of nearly one-third of the sales!
Faced with this bizarre situation, Editor-in-Chief Mo was also extremely surprised:

"The more abuse, the better the sales?"

The terms of the original contract stipulated that, nominally, the magazine had no right to interfere with the author's work.

However, if it is not an intervention, but just a reminder to the author
This shouldn't be considered a violation?

"Tell Jiang Hai to write as many tragic stories as possible if possible."

"The more he abuses people, the more our magazine sells."

Convey the order verbally.

Editor-in-Chief Mo turned his head and looked at the suddenly increasing sales curve on the screen. His ambition was gradually expanding.

At this moment, he seemed to see the hope of success.

It was as if I saw him in the later stages of his career, rising from editor-in-chief to president of Mo.
He uttered these words excitedly:

"Our "Youth Foreword" is really going to turn things around this time."

Chenghai Drama Academy, multimedia classroom.

The classroom was packed.

Fatty Yang Wei handed the phone to Chu Tianjiao:

"Brother Chu, you're on the trending search!"

I’m not a celebrity, why should I be on the trending search?
Chu Tianjiao was a little confused by what the fat man said. He took the phone and glanced at the screen. A line of big words suddenly appeared in front of him:

[Death of Chu Tianjiao]

"Who the hell is so wicked???" When Chu Tianjiao saw this trending search, he couldn't hold it in and cursed, "I was alive and well, how could I die?"

The fat man signaled Chu Tianjiao to be patient: "Don't worry, this seems to be a duplicate name?"

Looking at the thousands of netizens, praying for him on the Internet:
"Chu Tianjiao, great warrior, rest in peace."

Chu Tianjiao suddenly felt that he had been wronged:
"Even if it's a duplicate name, it's still pretty damn unlucky."

In an era when paper media is declining, it is really not easy to have a traditionally published literary work become a hot search on the Internet?

From this we can see how good the offline response of "Dragon Clan" is?

However, Jiang Hai didn't care about this.

He was sitting by the window in the classroom, his hands constantly jumping on the keyboard, editing a message for the Japanese animation production team:
"Mr. Shinkai Makoto, I'm leaving the ghostwriting of the manga Sanmao Wanderings to you guys."
