Chapter 715 Wu Zijuan The future literary master and media creator
When Jia Baoyu, after Feng Ziying's repeated request, finally showed his "results" in the past month in front of Feng Ziying, Feng Ziying couldn't help but give a thumbs up.
Countless beginnings, basically writing three to five thousand words, and then discarding them.
Well, Feng Ziying took a look at the content. "Wild Boar Forest" is obviously written in imitation of the style of "Snowstorm on Liangshan Mountain"; "Feng Yi Pavilion" is of course modeled after "The Legend of Li Wa" and "Changban Slope" A mixture.
And "The Legend of the Flag Hero", um, why is it so familiar? Isn’t this Gu Long’s novel?
At first glance, the content is completely different. This is Jia Baoyu opening up the Jia family. It tells the story of the two brothers Jia Yuan and Jia Yuan, the second son of Ning Rong, who followed Zhou Taizu to conquer the world. Jia Yuan was in front of Zhou Taizu. He was born to carry the flag, so it is called "The Legend of the Flag Hero".
Feng Ziying had to admire that Jia Baoyu was somewhat capable in this aspect. Although several styles were imitations, they still had a bit of that flavor. However, if he wanted to make a mark in the current market of legendary novels, World, that's not easy either.
These days, there is also a huge market for legendary novels.
Generally speaking, a legendary story-telling novel with a novel plot, excellent writing style, and fascinating story content can not only be printed and published in volumes, but many of them can also be used by some storytellers in the tea garden as a base for storytelling. It can greatly expand the influence and attract more readers who are not willing to listen to the book but are willing to read the book to buy it. In addition, it can also give a boost to the author's reputation, so they can be said to complement each other.
At present, the market for Dazhou legendary story-telling novels is also divided into northern and southern schools.
The Northern School is mainly centered on the capital city, and is mostly mixed with northern slang and slang. The style emphasizes opening and closing, and winning with excitement and grand momentum. The content is mostly about historical and legendary stories about heroes and chivalry.
The Southern School, on the other hand, is centered on Yangzhou, Suzhou and Jinling. Its style emphasizes delicacy and tactfulness, with tender and soul-stirring emotions as its priority. The content is mostly about the joys and sorrows of talented men and beautiful women or the joys and sorrows of ordinary people.
However, there are also some excellent scripts that can successfully integrate the content advantages of the northern and southern factions and become best-selling story-telling novels, but they are only divided into northern and southern versions when they are published.
It seems that Jia Baoyu is also ambitious and is ready to combine the styles of the two schools to achieve a "great cause".
"Baoyu, it seems that you are very interested in this legendary story novel?" Feng Ziying already had some ideas, but he still wanted to get to know this guy's background.
Hobbies can often determine the transformation of a mediocre person into a capable person. Feng Ziying hopes that this will be the case for Jia Baoyu.
"Well, Brother Feng, when I am depressed, I like to read these legendary story books, which can relieve my inner worries and anguish. Reading these story novels, I feel like I am one of them, and I can dance with these heroes. , kill the enemy and serve the country, or eliminate violence and bring peace to the people, and travel around the world,..."
"Can you still have **** with the heroic princess and have endless romance?" Feng Ziying couldn't help but spit out a sentence, and the sense of sexual **** was a bit overwhelming.
Baoyu's face turned red again, feeling a little angry inside.
You have taken away Sister Lin, why can’t you even indulge yourself in the legendary story? Although Sister Lin is not a chivalrous woman, she can still be imagined as a chivalrous woman.
Seeing that Baoyu remained silent, Feng Ziying felt that her words had hurt the other person's self-esteem a bit, and she also felt that she was a bit too talkative.
If this guy really has this hobby and interest, and has literary talent, and can cultivate it well, he might be able to become a literary master.
"Baoyu, since you have put so much thought into this legendary novel, are you just writing it for fun, or do you really want to write some earth-shattering legend?"
Feng Ziying's face became solemn, which made Jia Baoyu subconsciously become serious.
"Brother Feng, I really haven't thought about this before, but since you asked me like this, I'm really moved. There are many people who wrote this legendary story in the capital city, but I have read it and found that many of them are Blindly catering to popular tastes, the writing style and diction are not satisfactory,..."
When talking about this, Baoyu started to talk a lot.
Feng Ziying's rhetorical question made Baoyu suffocate. He hesitated for a long time before saying: "Brother Feng, the main reason is that I feel that they are not satisfied with their writing, but when I wrote it myself, the clan couldn't grasp the key points. Maybe I am the kind of person with high vision and low hand? "
Feng Ziying laughed. He briefly looked at a few of Jia Baoyu's chapters. To be honest, the writing style is indeed good, but he still has not mastered several major elements of writing novels. In a word, novices are like this. Although Feng Ziying does not write novels, but He reads novels.
He was a fan of online novels before this time travel. He has been reading online novels since the early 2000s, from the earliest Huanjian, Tianying, Cuiweiju to Qidian, from the "Fengzi Story" and "Mercenary World" from Taiwan at that time. "From the beginning to the starting point of Xuehong, Toad, Old Pig, etc., he is master of all of them, and he feels that he has at least mastered some basic essentials of the novel.
This legendary story novel is equivalent to the online novels of this era, and it is probably about the same.
“Baoyu, Brother Yu thinks you have basically touched the threshold of this legendary story novel. The writing style is not bad, but the main problem is that you lack experience. You still have to think about how to grasp the taste of the audience,..."
Feng Ziying briefly talked about some basic points on how to write a good novel, which made Jia Baoyu enlightened and was even more in awe of Feng Ziying. It’s no wonder that Brother Feng can do everything. Even these legendary story-telling novels are so sophisticated.
"Baoyu, in this case, you can use the story of Thirteen Stick Monks to Save the King of Tang Dynasty as a blueprint for your creation, and write a legendary novel. I will be responsible for making arrangements with Uncle Zheng Shi, and wait until you have achieved something in this area. , then Brother Yu will be able to give you a task."
Feng Ziying is already thinking about expressing the story of the Western Xinjiang's counterinsurgency and expansion of the Western Region through the legendary storybook. This kind of thing is definitely something that both the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of War would like to hear, and it can also please Emperor Yonglong. As for the specific details, that's too much. It’s so easy to compile, so many stories can be picked at your fingertips.
After settling down Baoyu who was overjoyed, Feng Ziying went to negotiate with Jia Zheng again.
"Ziying, how could you let Baoyu write some legendary novels? How could you let Baoyu do such a thing for such a boring literati?" Jia Zheng simply couldn't understand it. This was beyond his imagination.
"Uncle Zheng Shi, times are changing, and some of the original views may not be suitable." Feng Ziying shook her head, "I used to think that opera was a boring activity in leisure time, but now can you say that this is low-level? Writing scripts Who is the most famous? Taoist Taoist Qingyuan was a Jinshi in the 27th year of Yuanxi. He was a minister of the Ministry of Rites and a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy. Who doesn't know him? "
Feng Ziying was refuted and was speechless.
Qingyuan Taoist Tang Xianzu is undoubtedly the leading figure among Jiangxi scholars. He has been living in seclusion in his hometown for the past few years. However, when mentioning Jiangxi scholars of this dynasty, who dare not mention Qingyuan Taoist? His Four Records of Linchuan, such as "The Peony Pavilion" and "Nan Ke Ji", are even more famous.
"From my nephew's point of view, this legendary novel is increasingly entering people's homes. Nowadays, many scholars don't like to go to the theater to watch plays because they find it too noisy. They prefer to watch more movies during their leisure time. A legendary story-telling novel with enlightening morals. If Baoyu has this idea, let him give it a try. If it doesn’t work, it doesn’t matter. If it works, maybe it’s a way out.”
Feng Ziying's words made Jia Zheng a little puzzled, "Ziying, what do you mean when you say this is a way out? Could it be that this novel is published and sold?"
"Uncle Zhengshi, if you believe in my nephew, then let Baoyu give it a try. Didn't the imperial concubine also say that Baoyu should be given to the nephew? Baoyu is the imperial concubine's biological brother, and she can trust her nephew. Could it be that Zhengshi Uncle, you still don’t believe it?” Feng Ziying paused and said, “Otherwise, let Baoyu give it a try for one year. If he can get some luck, then Uncle Shi can feel at ease. If it doesn’t work, then my nephew will find another place for Baoyu. Find a way out.”
Jia Zheng looked at Feng Ziying who was sworn in, and thought for a moment, what if he didn't agree?
How could he, the father, not know about the situation of his own treasure? Since Feng Ziying felt that there was a way out of this seemingly absurd legendary novel, he had nothing to say.
However, he still felt that Feng Ziying was not just asking Baoyu to write a legendary storybook and sell it, but was more or less involved in the affairs of the court, but he couldn't guess it, and the other party was obviously now Don't want to say it.
"That's all, Ziying will let you and Baoyu deal with it. You have always been measured, I only believe in you." Jia Zheng said solemnly, this was considered as entrusting Jia Baoyu to Feng Ziying.
Now that he has made up his mind, Feng Ziying will not be verbose.
A mere legendary story-telling novel would naturally not cause Feng Ziying to go into such a big fight. With Jia Baoyu's level, among the literati who failed the imperial examination and were struggling to make a living, they could easily find such a gunman. Strong, but it has lost its meaning.
Feng Ziying thought that since "Internal Reference" was so popular in the court, if he could make a copy of "Internal Reference" and spread it in the market, how popular would it be?
The current printing level and capabilities are enough to support a newspaper with a moderate circulation, at least in the capital city. So, can seizing this public opinion advantage first push certain things to appear earlier?
The legendary story novels written by Baoyu can be serialized in this newspaper in the future, or they can be printed and sold in single copies. When Baoyu becomes more familiar with this aspect, he may become a veteran editor of this newspaper.
The fifth update!
