Chapter 26 The Death of Yang Kang
In mid-June, readers who saw the supplement "Happy Forest" of the Newspaper that day knew one thing.
Yang Kang is dead.
Readers who watched the series "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" yesterday read that Huang Rong was peeling off the cocoon in the Iron Gun Temple and wanted to expose Yang Kang's killing of Ouyang Feng in front of the Western Poison Ouyang Feng, and everyone felt that something was wrong.
Who is Xi Du?
That was a cruel and ruthless master. Once he knew that his nephew died at the hands of Yang Kang, even if Yang Kang was the little prince of the Jin Kingdom, he would be cruelly revenge.
However, readers have seen Yang Kang turn bad luck into good fortune many times, and they feel that this time they may be able to escape.
After all, Yang Kang is an important figure in the book and a controversial figure. The author shouldn't let him die so early.
Unfortunately, things went against their wishes, and Yang Kang still died.
Moreover, he died of poisoning and was eaten by crows after his death, which was extremely miserable.
This chapter caused a great response, and both ordinary readers and literati discussed Yang Kang, especially young people, who had a higher recognition of Yang Kang.
This is mainly because the character Yang Kang was written alive, which makes people love and hate.
He was the little prince of the Jin Kingdom, handsome and elegant, enjoying wealth and honor. But who knew that a street hooligan at the age of 18 changed everything. He became a Han man, and conflicts arose.
Should we continue to pursue glory and wealth, or should we recognize our ancestors and return to our ancestors?
The people around him were divided into two factions, one was mainly Qiu Chuji and Guo Jing, and the other was Wanyan Honglie.
These people pulled him, influenced him, and made him sway left and right, wandering.
Yang Kang is not a villain in the traditional sense, but more of a tragedy of people in his temperament, which makes people sympathize and pity.
The discussion in the newspaper focuses on two points: one is whether Yang Kang should kill Wanyan Honglie and take revenge.
The orthodox view believes that the hatred of killing his father is irreconcilable, and Wanyan Honglie is the culprit of the tragedy in Niujia Village, and death is not worthy of mercy. After Yang Kang learned the truth from Duan Tiande, he should take action to eliminate it.
The objection is that Wanyan Honglie has raised Yang Kang for his kindness and how to give up his relationship for more than ten years.
In this era, the orthodox view is the main focus, including propriety, righteousness, integrity, shame, loyalty, filial piety, integrity and fraternity, which are the positive energy of society.
The second argument is whether Yang Kang should die.
Yang Kang did things for the Jin people, and intended to become the leader of the Beggars' Sect on Xuanyuan Platform, and designed to kill the seven monsters in Jiangnan on Taohua Island. It is indeed worthy of the crime.
The only reason to argue for Yang Kang is that he is the little prince of Jin and has a different position, so it is natural to do these things.
However, the position determines fate, and he should die.
Some people also believe that the author should give Yang Kang a chance to regret it and not let Yang Kang die so early. After all, the grudges and conflicts between him and Guo Jing are one of the main lines of the whole novel.
Unless the novel is about to end.
This is a topic of debate among men, and some female readers focus on the love between Yang Kang and Mu Nianci.
Compared with the love between Guo Jing and Huang Rong, the love between Yang Kang and Mu Nianci is a bit tragic.
Back then, Yang Kang was wearing a furious horse and galloping on the streets of Zhongdu City. When he looked back, he saw Mu Nianci who was competing for martial arts and renowned. It was this glance that made the two entangled from now on.
Love is sometimes so unreasonable.
Many female readers wrote to the Newspaper to protest Yang Kang's death.
Ping Jinya is also a loyal reader of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes". He did not lament the death of Yang Kang. The death of the characters in the novel is normal.
What he cares about is that "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" is about to be completed, so will the big boss start another novel?
Now, the "Popular Novel Weekly" relies on "The Legend of Qin" and "The Smiling and Proud Wanderer" to support it, and the circulation volume exceeds 15,000 copies. Although it is impossible to compare with the "Shengbao" with a circulation volume of more than 100,000 copies, it is not as good as the lower one.
However, once a week, he was quite unhappy. If there were enough manuscripts, he wanted to change them to be published every three days.
Lin Zixuan would not meet Pingqianya's requirements. The reason why he runs a weekly magazine is to avoid having to work so hard to get the manuscript.
"The Legend of the Condor Heroes" is basically a daily article. "Looking for Qin" and "The Smiling and Proud Wanderer" depend on the situation. Just make up 10,000 or 20,000 words to fill the page in a week.
However, he gave Ping Jinya an idea. Isn’t Yang Kang very popular now? He asked someone to write Yang Kang’s story.
What would happen if Yang Kang was not dead? Or let Yang Kang travel back directly, change his life, or let modern people travel back to become Yang Kang, these are all very interesting stories.
Lin Zixuan proposed a fan-oriented concept.
This is different from time-travel articles like "The Legend of Qin". Fantasy is a secondary creation based on a story.
The special form of work like fan is fundamentally attached to the original work, which has a fundamental decisive effect on the expression of its content, the readers and the author's attitude towards it.
In later generations, there were many fantasies on the Internet.
He remembers that there is a good article about Yang Kang, called "Yang Kang's Happy Life".
When Ping Banya heard this, he suddenly realized that this opened up a new world.
However, this seems to involve copyright issues, and of course the copyright issues are not considered by Ping Banya.
In the current literary world, such as the Mandarin duck butterfly School, they write routine articles with roughly similar contents. They are all stories of beautiful women and talented men. There is no way to say who borrowed from whom. Change the name to another story.
What's more, he has the authorization of the original author. The author of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" is his big boss, what is he afraid of?
So, Ping Jinya wrote a fan story overnight called "The Night between Yang Kang and Mu Nianci".
The story of Yang Kang and Mu Nianci happened on the iron palm peak in detail using the writing style of the romance novel, with many bold detailed descriptions.
He also issued an initiative in the "Popular Novel Weekly" to hold an essay contest, inviting readers to provide in-depth and multi-faceted interpretations of the character Yang Kang.
If you don’t want Yang Kang to die, then let him survive. If you hate Guo Jing, you can also write stories to denounce Guo Jing. As long as you have good writing skills and good plots, you will have hope to publish them in the newspaper and enjoy them with everyone.
This essay contest caused an uproar in public opinion.
No one has done it so well before, but in fact, this kind of thing has happened long ago.
For example, in the book "Three Heroes and Five Righteousness", someone later wrote "Little Five Righteousness", "Sustaining the Legend of Chivalrous", "Sustaining the Little Five Righteousness", etc.
This is the secondary creation.
Under the guidance of Lin Zixuan, Pingqianya began to hype, mobilizing the power of public opinion and readers, not only having manuscripts, but also making a name for themselves and increasing newspaper sales.
Why not do it?
