Once, Lin Zixuan and Xiang Qiran chatted and talked about the topic of fairy tale.

Xiang Qingran's "The Legend of the Rivers and Lakes" is very popular among readers. Unlike Lin Zixuan's martial arts novel, the focus of "The Legend of the Rivers and Lakes" is on the word "strange", and the plot is quite strange.

For example, there will be Taoist priests who can use magic and some magic weapons.

According to Xiang Qingran, this is a farming legend in southern Hunan, and he just joined the story.

However, because of this, it adds a mysterious color to the novel, which is considered a story between martial arts and fairy tales.

During the Republic of China period, there was no such thing as a fairy tale novel, but it was called "strange novels".

A monster is to record weird things.

This type of novel is based on narrative stories and legends of strange ghosts and monsters, and was produced and popular in the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties.

"China originally believed in witches. Since the Qin and Han Dynasties, the theory of gods and immortals has been popular. At the end of the Han Dynasty, the witches were turbulent, and the ghost path became more and more intense. The Hinayana Buddhism also entered the Middle Land and gradually became circulated. All of these are the ghosts and gods, and they praised the supernatural powers. Therefore, from the Jin and Sui Dynasty, there have been many books of ghosts and gods with strange will."

This is what Lu Xun said in "A Brief History of Chinese Novels".

Everyone is familiar with the novels of the Monsters, and even if they have not read them, they have heard of them briefly.

Gan Bao's "Su Shen Ji" by the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Dongfang Shuo's "Shen Yi Jing", Zhang Hua's "Bao Wu Zhi", Ge Hong's "Biographies of Gods", Xu Zhonglin's "Feng Shen Yi Yi", Pu Songling's "Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio"...

Many of the Xianxia novels on online books in later generations are based on these classical literary works.

However, there is a big difference between fairy tale novels and monster novels. Monster novels should belong to the myth category.

In modern times, the pioneering work of Xianxia novels was "The Legend of the Swordsman in Shushan" by the owner of Huanzhu Lou.

This is a masterpiece with nearly 5 million words, among which the setting and cultivation system of the heavenly tribulation are unique, which influenced the creation of most immortal novels later.

Interestingly, the owner of Huanzhu Lou wrote "The Legend of Swordsman in Shushan" according to martial arts novels, but he did not expect to write a new pattern.

Lin Zixuan did not have any interest in writing "The Legend of the Swordsman in Shushan".

Although he knew about this novel and had read the movie adapted from this novel, he had not finished reading the book "The Legend of the Swordsman in Shushan" because the length was too long.

He has read many novels of immortals in later generations, and the more famous ones are "Zhu Xian" and "Legend of Sword and Fairy".

The latter belongs to the game, but it has an official series of novels.

Because the TV series is popular, he also watched "The Bone of Flowers". There are countless other fairy tale novels on the Internet, but the quality is uneven, and most of them focus on fighting and killing, lacking feelings.

As for "The Journey of Ethereal", it should be considered an upgraded cultivation novel.

Lin Zixuan no longer plans to write martial arts novels. Just do pioneering work. Too repetitive meaning is not very meaningful, so he is planning to write a fairy tale novel to create the fairy tale genre.

He chose "Legend of Sword and Fairy".

Not only because he likes the role of Zhao Linger, but also because this novel is easier to shoot into a movie, and the plot is easily accepted by audiences and readers.

The words of "Zhu Xian" are too magical, and readers of this era probably can't understand it very much.

Xiang Qingran was more interested in the concept of "fairy tale" proposed by Lin Zixuan. The two communicated and talked casually.

Lin Zixuan took "The Ethereal Journey" as an example.

A down-and-out young man from the Republic of China period was taken to another planet by a monk through a teleportation array, where there were remnants of various dynasties and monks from major sects.

These people have magic weapons and talismans, practice with spirit stones, compete for treasures of heaven and earth, and ride in the starry shuttle to cross the starry sky.

With Lin Zixuan's story, a story of a monk with profound magic powers roaming in front of Xiang Qingran's eyes with the universe as the background and the starry sky as the battlefield.

He suddenly felt that the pattern of the martial arts novels he wrote was still too small, and this is the overall pattern.

He understood that this was a martial arts novel, but he just changed his way of telling stories.

Change martial arts into magic weapons, cities into planets, and knights into monks, but there is no change in the way of writing the plot. All poor and down-and-out little people become powerful through constant adventures and adventures.

Of course, being able to think of this idea is an amazing breakthrough in itself.

He looked at Lin Zixuan and felt that this person is worthy of being a master writer who writes popular novels, and he is a good idea just by saying it casually.

In literary writing, good creativity is more important than good writing style. Most novels written by writers from the Mandarin duck butterfly school are a routine, because there is no better creativity.

"Then why don't you write?" Xiang sighed and puzzled.

"I don't have time to write!" Lin Zixuan said with a wry smile.

If he wrote down all the novels he had read, he wouldn't have to do anything else and would just write every day.

Xiang Qingran was speechless. If you don’t have time to write, you can find someone to write for you.

In this era, with the rapid development of the newspaper industry, a group of professional writers were born.

In order to make money or to be unable to escape due to personal relationships, some famous writers may write articles to more than a dozen newspapers at the same time. No matter how fast they write, they cannot meet the requirements.

So, writing on behalf of others came into being.

As long as the writer sets the outline and explains the general plot, these writers can complete the manuscript quickly.

Writers are generally unfamous writers, with good writing skills, but their writing talent is not good. Instead of being rejected for submissions to newspapers, it is better to write for money to earn living expenses.

After Xiang Qingran said this, Lin Zixuan immediately woke up.

He actually knew this way, just regarded the novels in his mind as his own personal things and did not want to share them with others.

The current situation is that he has no time to write it out, so it is better to find a group of literati to come over and send them the story outline and settings, so that they can fill in the plot, so that they can move the novels of later generations to this era on a large scale.

Although these popular novels are not very literary, they have the potential to become best-selling books. They can make a lot of money and can also select works that readers sought after to make them into movies.

He did it right away, and Lin Zixuan asked Ping Jinya to tell the plan.

Pingjina was very happy and felt that the big boss had finally gotten enlightened. He had long wanted to find someone to write the sequel to "The Legend of the Condor Heroes". It would be a pity that such a popular novel would not be written in a sequel.

Pingqianya was also a member of the writing circle two years ago, and soon found six writers who specialize in writing.

So, Vientiane Writing Studio was established.

The novels they wrote can only be written with the same pseudonym, and the copyright belongs to Wanxiang Bookstore. This is called writing professionalism.

Lin Zixuan took out "The Journey of Ethereal" and "The Legend of Zhen Huan" to let them try the waters, one cultivating the truth and the other romance.

He provides outlines and background settings, others fill in the plot, and then reviews it by him.
