Back to 1997, I became the originator of online literature

Chapter 166: Announcement of the new book "Seven Treasures Linglong Tower"

This news shocked many people.

Who is Zhongyuan Yidianhui?

If it were a year ago, many people might not know which onion this was.

But in the past year, the name Zhongyuan Yidianhui has appeared in front of everyone from time to time. Zhongyuan Yidianhui's three works "The Days of Living with the Flight Attendant", "I Want to Become an Immortal" and "God's Tomb" are all best-sellers.

The news that the sales volume of "Living with a Flight Attendant" in mainland China exceeded one million copies was reported in many news reports at the beginning of the year.

When the sales volume exceeded 1.5 million, it was also reported by the media.

A few days ago, it was reported that the film and television adaptation rights of this book were sold for an astonishing one million yuan.

"I Want to Become an Immortal" forcibly turned the gathering place of literary youths - under the banyan tree, into the base camp of fairy-tale and cultivation novels.

It also topped the Taiwan book sales chart for more than half a year.

Sales in the mainland are also rising steadily.

As soon as "God's Tomb" was published, it immediately topped the Taiwan book sales list, taking over the recently completed "I Want to Become an Immortal".

In the mainland, this book currently has an excellent reputation.

In addition to the previous public war of words between Zhongyuan Yidianhui and Huang Shuren, Wang Gongjie, Gongyang Buyu and others, the people who are still completely unaware of Zhongyuan Yidianhui are basically those who do not watch TV or read newspapers at all.

So, when the news in Hong Kong was flooding with reports about the super luxurious cast of "A Man's Martial Arts", everyone on both sides of the Taiwan Strait and Hong Kong and Macau was shocked when they heard that the script of this drama was written by Zhongyuan Yidianhui.

For example, the owners and editors of various novel websites.

For example, online writers and traditional writers who both write novels.

For example, those who have the habit of reading novels.

The ones who reacted the fastest were Cao Sheng’s fans.

That evening, many book fans discussed this matter in the book review section of "Shenmu", and many of them asked Cao Sheng.

Cao Sheng saw it.

That evening, after he updated a chapter of "God's Tomb", he came to the book review section as usual and saw that today's book review section was completely different from the past.

"Amazing! Ah Hui has really made it big! He quietly submitted a script to the Hong Kong Film Company and invited actors such as Xu Laoguai, Yuan Heping, Hong Jinbao, Yuan Biao, Zhen Zixuan, Yuan Hua, and Zou Yilong. Ah Hui is really like a little cow standing upside down, and his work is so amazing!"

"I feel like I'm still sleepy. I just saw on TV that the author wrote a martial arts script, and this script also brought together a large number of Hong Kong action stars and directors. Brothers! I'm going to take a nap. When I wake up, we'll talk again."

"Author, pay me! I just bought an ice cream, tore open the wrapper, and put it to my mouth. I haven't even taken a bite yet, but I was scared away by the news on the TV in the convenience store! Why are you writing a script? My ice cream! Pay me! Pay me now!"

"Change your name, Mr. Author! Why call yourself Zhongyuan Yidianhui? You are obviously the coolest in Zhongyuan! Just call yourself Zhongyuan Zhida! Just because the script you wrote was directed by Xu Ke, I am willing to admit that you are the coolest in Zhongyuan!"

"Ah Hui! I am your long-lost brother! Now that you are rich, why don't you let me return to my roots? Brother! Come on, give me a hand! Your brother is still poor!"

"Author! You are not going to change your career to become a screenwriter, are you? Don't do that! Although I know screenwriters are a bit cool, they have the opportunity to have sex with female celebrities, they don't need to write many words, and they can make a lot of money, but writing novels is your main job! People should not forget their roots, and they should not forget us book fans! If you dare to change your career to become a screenwriter, I promise that I will not watch any movies or TV series you write in the future!"

"Ah Hui isn't really going to be a screenwriter, is he?"

"Ah Hui! You actually still have time to write a script? Is this the reason why your "God's Tomb" is updated so slowly? You have no conscience! We support you so much, but you actually secretly write a script and don't even update two more chapters!"

"Author! I was wrong. I promise I won't scold you again. Please don't change your career!"

"What's so good about being a screenwriter? Ah Hui, if you want to take advantage of others, there are so many brothers in the book review area, who do you want? Don't pity us just because we are not delicate flowers. Come on! We are ready!"

When Cao Sheng saw this post, he didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

Noticing that there were quite a lot of replies to this post, he couldn't help but click on it out of curiosity.

The follow-up post I saw was this:
"The host is ready, but I am not. Please, Ah Hui, visit the host first!"

"What a lie! Who is ready? Are you the only one who is ready?"

"I'm not ready either!"

"Shit! Is it so expensive to read a novel now? No! I won't do it!"

"Ugh, I'm going blind. I'm a woman! How could I see such a dirty post? Are you guys so shameless? You don't even ask Ah Hui if he has any female fans, you just do it yourself? Then what are we female fans doing?"

"OP, you bastard! I just straightened myself, and you want to bend me again?"

……

Cao Sheng's mouth curled up and couldn't be lowered.

This is also one of the reasons why he likes to read book reviews. Book friends can often make him laugh, allowing him to feel the fun beyond writing.

He read the book reviews for more than half an hour and found that many readers were worried about whether he would change his career to become a screenwriter.

He thought for a while and felt it necessary to say a few words to everyone, at least to make it clear that he would not change his career.

We cannot let book fans worry that he will change his career when reading his works.

It’s a good opportunity to promote his new book at the same time.

He is not worried that someone else will register the title of his new book first after it is leaked.

reason?

Because he is now a shareholder of Under the Banyan Tree.

Even if someone else has registered the title of the book, he can still use it.

Moreover, with his current fame, even if he is not a shareholder of Under the Banyan Tree, he can get the book title he wants by just telling the editor. Just like before his rebirth, there were a few years when there were too many books in Qidian Library, and many unfinished books with only a few chapters occupied a large number of book titles. Sometimes the book title he wanted to use was already used by those unfinished books, so he couldn't register it. He only needed to say hello to the editor, and the editor would help him change the name of the unfinished book so that he could successfully register the book title.

At that time, even an old loser like him could ask the editor to open such a back door, let alone now?

Cao Sheng returned to the author's backstage.

A single chapter was sent out soon.

The content is as follows:

“I have seen what everyone has said in the book review section. Thank you for your support. I am very happy that you can share this joy with me.

Yes, the script "One Man's Martial Arts" that was recently reported in the news was written by me.

But I did not slow down the writing of "God's Tomb" because of this. It's just that according to industry regulations, the serialization progress of this book on the Internet cannot be too fast during the publication period, so for the time being I can only update one chapter every two days. I hope everyone can understand.

I saw some friends in the book review section worried that I would change my career and become a professional screenwriter.

I assure you here that I will not change my career easily, unless one day no one likes to read the novels I wrote, and I have to change my career, then I will consider it.

As for why I suddenly started writing scripts recently?
In fact, this script is just one of the copies I prepared for my next book. I need to prepare about ten similar copies, or even more.

At this point, I think everyone must want to know the name of my next book. What? You don’t want to know? Then I will tell you!
——"Seven Treasures Exquisite Tower"!
This is the title of my next book, so stay tuned. I promise it’s a very interesting story.

But now! Let's take our time to read "God's Tomb"! The story of "God's Tomb" has just begun! I am still in the outline stage of "Seven Treasures Linglong Tower", and it may not be published until the end of the year.

That's it! I've explained everything that needs to be explained. You can read the book with peace of mind. Don't worry about me changing my career. I still have many books I want to write for you to read!

Finally, thank you again for your support. ”

The single chapter has been sent out.

Cao Sheng looked at the new book title "Seven Treasures Exquisite Tower" in this single chapter and felt a little emotional.

Before his rebirth, he would not dare to use such a book title casually.

It's not because I'm afraid of blaspheming the gods.

But before his rebirth, he was not famous enough and did not have enough fans to support him being too willful when choosing book titles.

At that time, if his book title was not straightforward enough, it was almost doomed to fail.

After all, with a title like "Seven Treasures Exquisite Tower", who could tell that it is the title of an infinite flow novel?

Readers who know what the Seven Treasures Exquisite Tower is will most likely think that this is a fantasy novel when they see the title of this book.

Because the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda is the magic weapon of Li Jing, the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King.

In Journey to the West, every time Tota-Bearing Heavenly King appears, he holds a Seven Treasures Pagoda in his hand, which has left a deep impression on the Chinese people.

Therefore, any reader who knows the Seven Treasures Exquisite Tower will probably think of mythology and fairy tales when seeing the title of this book.

But this is an infinite flow novel.

Why did he choose this title for the book?

There are several reasons.

First of all, the infinite flow novel he was going to write had an opening copy called "One Man's Martial Arts World", which was not a horror story and was not suitable to be named "Infinite Horror".

Moreover, the copies he prepared included kung fu movies, vampire movies, loss movies, supernatural movies, etc.

The style is not consistent, so it is difficult to name the book something like "Infinite Martial Arts" or "Infinite Killing".

Secondly, he is still thinking about creating his own universe.

I want to link the story background of each of my works into a large universe, so that each of my books will be related.

Then, he thought of the legendary Seven Treasures Linglong Tower.

The Seven Treasures Exquisite Tower is a magical weapon in mythology and legends. It will appear in his Honghuang works in the future, but in his setting, this magical weapon will disappear in the world after the gods and Buddhas disappear.

For example, in modern society, the Seven Treasures Linglong Tower has long become a legend and has disappeared without a trace.

But it has not really disappeared and still exists between heaven and earth.

In the new book for which he is preparing the outline, the Qibao Linglong Tower will replace the main god space commonly seen in infinite flow novels.

The so-called main god space is the world inside the Seven Treasures Linglong Tower.

He searched online and found out that the legendary Seven Treasures Linglong Tower was a world of its own inside. From the outside, it only had seven floors, but the internal space was far more than seven floors. The world inside was huge.

It is the magic weapon used by Li Jing, the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King, to subdue and refine demons.

Cao Sheng decided to modify its settings slightly. For example, the Seven Treasures Linglong Tower was originally spiritual. In modern society, it evolved the world inside the tower on its own, and turned the various methods of refining demons in the tower into different movie worlds, such as the martial arts movie world, the vampire movie world, and so on.

It constantly invites humans to come into the tower and explore these movie worlds.

If you win, you will be rewarded; if you lose, you will be eliminated directly.

As a pagoda, it always does things so cruelly.

And what it does is to train human masters who can fight against the extraterritorial demons.

This is how the protagonist was taken into the world inside the Linglong Tower.
