I have always wanted to write an introduction to a new book, firstly because I am lazy, and secondly because I have to consider the plots and code words of two books, and I also have to find time to read the materials I bought from the bookstore. Regarding the new book, I had discussions with the Desert Giant, the Crazy Sword Giant, and my editor-a grain of sand on the beach before I started the book. There is consensus on one point, and this is what worries me the most. Because the new book adds some fantasy style, some old readers may be lost. People who read history don¡¯t like things that are too mysterious.
My editor tried to persuade me, but I¡¯m a jerk.
Desert and Crazy Knife have also advised me, but I am still very stubborn.
The title of the new book is "Strive for Hegemony in the World", which shows that this is a historical book. There will be a bit of fantasy, but there will never be the kind of flying into the sky, moving mountains and reclaiming seas. It is unacceptable for humans and nature to appear in history books. If I actually wrote it, I would be disgusted.
There are no manuscripts for the new book because my editor, A Grain of Sand by the Sea, raised concerns when I started writing this book. She was afraid that I would lose readers, so she suggested that I write 20,000 to 30,000 words for her to see how it went. If I can't even pass her level of writing, I'll simply stop thinking and continue writing a more orthodox historical article. Her suggestion is actually correct, because after all, the path taken by Emperor Zhou and Jiang Ming has been finalized, and they have also accumulated a number of readers.
As I said before, I compare the axis.
So I wrote about 20,000 words for the editor to read. At that time, I had not determined the general direction of the book, let alone the outline. It was just a prototype. After reading it, the editor felt that it could be written down, so he organized his ideas from scratch and set up the characters, main plot, and ending. During that time, Jiang Ming¡¯s updates were not good, and he was mainly discussing and sorting out new books.
¡°I used to be very casual when opening a book, but I¡¯m particularly frightened when it comes to new books.
Thirty-one chapters of the new book have been released so far. The fantasy style of the early stage may have been a bit stronger. Some old readers who followed Jiang Ming may not adapt and leave. I hope you will be pleasantly surprised when you occasionally think of this book and come back to read it. In the early stage, because the protagonist has not yet entered the court, the atmosphere of the world must be stronger. After entering Chang'an, it will be a historical drama.
?Explain again why we don¡¯t write about historical themes with background.
The country has many restrictions on historical novels, and it is impossible to write them happily. Not much can be changed, not much can be moved. So I choose to construct a historical period by myself, and I can write whatever I want. Write about power, darkness, struggle for supremacy, passion, beauty, and love. I know it's a bit selfish to do this, just for the pleasure of writing without considering the mood of old readers.
There is another reason that I have to consider. The masters of historical fiction that everyone is familiar with have nothing to worry about. Because as soon as their books come out, many people will pay attention to them, and publishing them is not a problem. But I am different. I am eager to make more money to change my current life, which is somewhat tight, so I must consider whether I can publish it, although the hope is slim. So I chose a completely fictional book. Of course, it would be very difficult to publish a completely fictional book, and the chance would be almost zero.
The new book will be a wonderful novel, and I will try my best to complete it. Thank you, thank you to the many great gods who have helped me, the Desert Giant, the Crazy Sword Giant, the Overbearing Giant, the Beacon Fire Giant, the Lonely Giant, the Four Rows Giant Thanks to the editor who has always encouraged me to help me - a grain of sand on the seaside. What I want to thank most is you, my readers, whom I love the most.
Please give me your support, I don¡¯t ask for rewards, I just ask for collections.
To collect, you only need to click on the page of the book, which is the greatest encouragement and support to me. I really hope that the old readers of Jiangming and the new readers of Zhengba can help me. All you need is one collection.
Finally, I wish my friends good health and all the best.
