Back to 1997, I became the originator of online literature

Chapter 292 The First Person Conquered by "Honghuang Yanyi"

At this moment, Chang Qingshu felt that Cao Sheng's book title was becoming more and more abstract.

Starting from the last book, the titles have been vague, making it impossible to judge the type and content of his works from the titles.

For example: the previous book was called "The Linglong Tower of Heaven and Earth", and now this new book is called "The Story of Honghuang".

He even suspected that "Hong Huang Yan Yi" would become Cao Sheng's least popular book in recent years.

Because the title is so retro.

Romance?

Would today's readers still be interested in such ancient book titles?

However, he didn't dare tell Cao Sheng his true thoughts.

Afraid of making Cao Sheng unhappy.

He replied on QQ: "I received it. I will send the manuscript back to the headquarters as soon as possible. Linglong Tower's royalties should be transferred to your account soon. Please check it."

Cao Sheng replied: "Okay, thank you."

……

After the exchange is over.

Chang Qingshu first sent all the manuscripts that Cao Sheng had just sent to the headquarters.

Then, I clicked on the manuscript of "Honghuang Romance" to see what kind of story it was.

When he opened the document, he was still thinking that Cao Sheng might have gone astray. His previous book had a strange title, and its sales and reputation were both good, which seemed to make Cao Sheng feel very accomplished, so he was a little proud. This time, his new book had such a strange title again.

He suspected that Cao Sheng wanted to use this method to prove that his novel, no matter what the title was, would be a big seller.

Chang Qingshu has seen some similar authors.

There are always some authors who go further and further down the wrong path, always wanting to prove their abilities in some way.

The document opens.

Evergreen saw the basic information of this new book.

Title: The Story of Honghuang

Type: Ancient times

Author: A little gray in the Central Plains.

Introduction: A modern man accidentally came to the ancient primitive world. He witnessed Hongjun's preaching, saw Nuwa creating humans, and participated in the battle between wizards and demons.

Gradually, he was hailed as the number one person under the saint.

But he was still unwilling.

Because below the saint, we are all ants.

He doesn't want to be an ant!

……

In front of the computer.

Chang Qingshu was somewhat surprised after reading this information.

Does the story of Hong Huang Yan Yi mean that the hero traveled back to the ancient times? And witnessed Hong Jun preaching? And Nu Wa created humans? Isn't this too early?
How to write the love story of the male protagonist who travels back to such an early period? Falling in love with a primitive man? Can you eat a hairy primitive man?

For a moment, his mind was full of thoughts.

I can’t believe that Cao Sheng dared to move the timeline so early this time.

Hongjun preaching?

This was shortly after Pangu created the world, right?

If he had traveled through time earlier, he would have probably traveled back to the time before the beginning of chaos. When Pangu created the world, he would have been chopped into pieces by the axe of creation.

Changqingshu was in a daze for a long time.

He couldn't think of such a work, so how could Cao Sheng write it?
He couldn't recall anyone having written anything like it before.

The ancients may have written it.

For example, some ancient myths and legends.

But the novels that impressed him the most were "The Investiture of the Gods" and "Journey to the West".

At this moment, he once again felt that Cao Sheng was getting carried away.

Dare to challenge such a difficult subject matter.

How much information do I need to consult if I want to write about ancient myths and legends?

Can Cao Sheng, a 20-year-old young man with such a deep cultural background, write such a story well?
Can?

After adjusting his mindset, he began to read the first chapter of the text.

The content of the first chapter is that the male protagonist is sitting by the window reading ancient books. The room is simple, and there is a heavy rain and strong wind outside the window. Inside the window, the male protagonist is flipping through the book with a calm expression.

He looks like he is oblivious to the world outside and his mind is only focused on the books of sages.

In this chapter, the introduction to the protagonist's past made Chang Qingshu feel pretty good.

He is a male protagonist who is both civil and military, has shed his impetuous character and is becoming more and more steady.

However, he still felt that it would be difficult for Cao Sheng to write well on this subject.

The hero in the first chapter has not yet traveled to the ancient primitive world. Although he lives in a small mountain village, it is a mountain village in modern society.

Chang Qingshu thought it was normal that Cao Sheng could write such a plot well.

If Cao Sheng can't even write a plot like this, then he wouldn't be the famous Zhongyuan Yidianhui.

but……

After reading one chapter, he didn't see any trace of the primitive world.

I only saw the end of this chapter. The rain outside the window stopped, but the sky turned blood red, which was weird and scary.

The male protagonist and the villagers came out of their homes, looked up at the blood-red sky, and talked about it.

Not seeing the plot about the primitive world written by Cao Sheng, Chang Qingshu immediately started reading the second chapter.

The plot of the second chapter surprised him a little.

Because the plot of the second chapter is a bit unconventional.

Suddenly, meteorites fell from the blood-red sky. Under the gaze of the protagonist and the villagers, one of the meteorites hit the top of the mountain in front of the small mountain village.

Some curious villagers took flashlights and went to the mountain to look for the meteorite despite the darkening sky.

When Chang Qingshu first saw this kind of plot, he subconsciously thought that the male protagonist would also go up the mountain to look for the meteorite, as most male protagonists in novels would do.

but……

The hero of this book "Hong Huang Romance" listens to his grandparents very much. His grandparents advised him not to go up the mountain as it was late, so he obediently did not go.

I have dinner with my grandparents at home, wash up, and go back to my room to read.

Is there such a male protagonist?

This male protagonist is not very curious!

If the male protagonist doesn't move, how will the plot progress?

When Changqingshu saw this, many questions arose in his mind.

I can't help but wonder if Cao Sheng doesn't know basic writing skills? In the second chapter, he wrote something that has nothing to do with the main plot?
It was not until he finished reading the second chapter that he realized that Cao Sheng used an anti-routine writing style.

The male protagonist in this plot is indeed not very curious. He listens to his grandparents and does not go up the mountain to look for the meteorite.

But it did not affect the advancement of the main storyline at all.

Under the night sky, a meteor shower suddenly began to fall from the blood-red sky. Dense meteorites fell from the sky and landed on this small mountain village like raindrops.

Including the top of the mountain where the meteorite fell.

Hundreds and thousands of meteorites destroyed this small mountain village far away from the hustle and bustle in the blink of an eye.

Houses were destroyed one after another, and the villagers' desperate exclamations and screams were heard everywhere.

The hero, who was skilled in martial arts, dodged one meteorite after another and escaped from home with his grandparents. As soon as he escaped from home, he, his grandparents were hit by a huge meteorite.

A family of three, dead. …

After finishing this chapter, Chang Qingshu felt very uncomfortable.

It's not just because of the death of the male protagonist, but also because the male protagonist's grandparents died together.

That's horrible!
At the same time, there is also a bit of anticipation.

Because he believed that since the male protagonist died in the second chapter, he would definitely be resurrected in the third chapter, and he should be resurrected in the ancient primitive world.

Otherwise, there would be no male protagonist in this story.

The content of the third chapter is indeed that the male protagonist opens his eyes in the primitive world.

But the identity has become a bird.

To be more precise, it is a completely black crow.

As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw an eagle swooping down from the sky, aiming its claws at him.

Then the crow did a trick and suddenly fell off the branch, as if it was drunk, and fell straight down.

The eagle that fell from the sky immediately adjusted its flying direction and continued to swoop.

The crow that had just fallen suddenly kicked on another branch and bounced back.

At the critical moment, he avoided the eagle's hunting.

This made Changqingshu feel excited and wanted to laugh.

But at the end of this chapter, Evergreen felt the protagonist's strong emotions - he saw two god-like and devil-like figures fighting fiercely in the blood-red sky, causing the distant mountains to collapse, and pieces of gravel splashed into the constantly appearing cracks in space and disappeared.

It found the culprit of the meteor shower.

The two god-like and devil-like figures in the sky were the murderers who killed his family of three.

It wants revenge.

Even though he has turned into a crow.

……

Chapter after chapter.

Time passed quietly.

Chang Qingshu was completely unaware of the passage of time. The suspense left at the end of each chapter made him start reading the next chapter unknowingly.

He saw the crow that the male protagonist traveled through, and how it little by little learned to survive in this wild world. He also saw the male protagonist fly over thousands of mountains and rivers, and finally found an abandoned cave, and in the cave, found a method of eating air engraved on the stone wall.

We also saw that the crow that the male protagonist traveled through, after practicing and eating air day after day, its body shape finally began to change.

It is growing in size.

At the end of Chapter 18, another eagle descended from the sky with its claws open, trying to hunt a hare below.

But when it descended to the height of the treetops, it suddenly flapped its wings in panic, urgently increased its altitude, and fled in a hurry.

Then, the crow that the male protagonist traveled through spread its wings, swooped down slowly, and landed on the thick branch of a big tree not far away.

The wingspan is five or six meters.

Compared with it, the eagle just now looked like a little chick.

In front of the computer.

Evergreen still wants to see the subsequent plot.

But I found that there was nothing behind it.

This is all Cao Sheng’s contribution.

Changqingshu was still unsatisfied, but he had to hold it in.

He frowned and looked at the words on the document with a complicated expression.

He reviewed the contents of the 18 chapters, trying to judge the quality of the content as a whole.

He was a little disappointed because he didn't see the mention of Hongjun preaching in the introduction.

But I also feel that Cao Sheng's writing style is very fascinating. There is obviously no plot of fierce fighting, and even after the male protagonist travels to the primitive world, there is not a single line of dialogue.

But when he was watching, he watched with great interest.

He knew that this was due to Cao Sheng's writing skills.

The plot was simple and should have been very boring, but it was written in such a way that he couldn't stop reading.

At the same time, he also felt that the main plot of the book - the current main plot should be revenge.

Even though the male protagonist has turned into a crow, he still has a strong obsession with revenge. Even though he knows that the murderer is very powerful and can cause mountains to collapse and the earth to crack and cracks to appear in space, the male protagonist, who has turned into a crow, still does not give up his obsession with revenge.

This crow, which was supposed to stay in one area and not go too far, actually braved all kinds of unknown dangers and flew across thousands of mountains and rivers just to find an opportunity to practice and become stronger.

Changqingshu thought for a long time and pulled the document back to the beginning.

When I look at the title of the book "Hong Huang Yan Yi" again, I no longer feel that there is anything inappropriate about this title.

Suddenly I felt that only a book title like this is worthy of such a story.

He sensed Cao Sheng's ambition.

It can be seen that Cao Sheng is exploring new topics.

But now he no longer thinks that Cao Sheng cannot write this story well.

Because the plot of the first 18 chapters is too stable.

Among these 18 chapters, 16 are about the protagonist who transforms into a crow and tries hard to learn how to survive as a crow and become stronger little by little.

In these 16 chapters, none of the opponents that the hero faces directly are human beings, but all of them are various birds and beasts in nature.

unmanned!

It's hard to mess up such a stable plot.

As a manuscript receiving editor, Chang Qingshu has read the works of many authors.

There are many fast-paced works and many slow-paced ones.

Fast-paced works have one thing in common - a brisk pace and an exciting plot.

However, for this kind of work, the plot is prone to break down while writing. He thinks it may be because the plot advances too fast and the author's train of thought cannot keep up.

Slow-paced works also have one thing in common - the plot is very stable and rarely breaks down.

He thinks this is probably because the plot is written slowly enough, and the author has enough time to conceive the subsequent plot, so it is difficult for the story to collapse.

As for Cao Sheng's new book, "Honghuang Romance", the plot progresses at such a steady pace, he believes that Cao Sheng has the ability to write it well even if it is a brand new subject matter.

He was just a little surprised: except for "Living with a Flight Attendant", the pace of Cao Sheng's previous works was faster than the previous one, but the pace of this new book was so slow.

……

Bay Bay.

Xinchang.

The manuscript submitted by Cao Sheng, which was forwarded by Changqingshu, was distributed to different departments by the editors here.

Among them, the manuscripts of the last three episodes of Linglong Tower were distributed to the proofreading editors, who were asked to pick out the typos in the manuscripts (if any).
The manuscript of the new book "Honghuang Romance" was distributed to the preliminary review editor.

The first review editor is a young man who has just joined the company.

When he saw that this was the manuscript of Zhongyuan Yidianhui's new book, his eyes lit up and he forwarded it to the second review editor without thinking, because he knew very well that he was not qualified to review Zhongyuan Yidianhui's new book.

The second review editor was a middle-aged man in his prime with rich experience in reviewing manuscripts. When he received Cao Sheng's new book manuscript, he smiled and forwarded it directly to the final review editor without hesitation.

Because he also knew in his heart: he was not qualified to review Zhongyuan Yidianhui's new book.

When the final review editor received the manuscript of Zhongyuan Yidianhui's new book, he was surprised, thought about it, and then forwarded it directly to his boss Lan Tianhu.

He is a bit older and has more experience in reviewing papers.

Therefore, he knew very well that Zhongyuan Yidianhui's new book manuscript did not need to be reviewed at all and would definitely be published.

Even the publishing price of the manuscript did not require his reference opinion.

Because the royalties for Zhongyuan Yidianhui have been set personally by the publisher’s president Lan Tianhu since a long time ago.
