Chapter 297 Single Chapter, Special Book Fans

Cao Sheng is not clear about the specific release date of his work in Taiwan.

Moreover, he has to go to school every day recently, so he has less time to write and to pay attention to the book review section online.

This evening.

After dinner, he made a cup of Pu’er tea, and went to the study on the third floor with the cup in hand. He turned on his computer, opened the manuscript, outline, and detailed outline of “Honghuang Yanyi”, and began to think about how to write the first chapter tonight? What kind of mood should he write with?
Different plots require different moods to be written with greater feeling.

This is the main reason why many veteran authors occasionally get stuck in writing.

If you can’t find the right state of mind, it will be difficult to write the effect you want.

Words are a wonderful thing.

What some people write is so dry that it makes people frown when reading it.

Some people write articles that make people feel like drinking fine wine when reading them.

Some of the texts can make people laugh out loud.

Some words can make people sad and cry.

Cao Sheng always felt that his writing skills were average.

But if you write carefully, the effect can be much better.

So, gradually, he became afraid to write casually.

For example, before writing each chapter, you must find a mood that fits the plot of this chapter. Only when the mood fits the plot, the words you write will make it possible for readers to feel the emotions in this plot, whether it is joy, sadness, or indifference, etc.

Just when he was about to find the feeling to write the first chapter of tonight, the screen of his mobile phone on the table lit up, attracting his attention.

Who is looking for me at this time?
Is it a call? Or a text message?

Cao Sheng frowned slightly, but still reached out and took the phone.

He saw that it was a new text message from Jin Qiaoyin, the editor who was responsible for contacting Rong Shuhui.

Click on the text message, the content is as follows:
“Mr. Cao, your book review section is in turmoil. Didn’t you see it? I suggest you respond quickly. Many of your fans are very excited.”

Cao Sheng was a little speechless.

I thought: You contact me when there is no news in the book review area? It’s already dark, are you still not off work? If you have so much free time, why don’t you go and serve other authors? Other authors need your help more, why send me a message?
At the same time, he was also aroused by a trace of curiosity: Why is there such a commotion in the book review section? What is everyone arguing about? Have I not been involved in any scandals recently? I haven’t seen Wang Zuxian for quite a long time.

“Okay, thanks for letting me know. I’ll go take a look.”

He casually replied to Jin Qiaoyin, put down his phone, climbed up the banyan tree, and came to the book review section of “The Mysterious Tower of Heaven and Earth”.

He guessed that Jin Qiaoyin was talking about the book review section of this book.

that’s the truth.

Cao Sheng saw that the most popular post in the book review area was this:
“Ah Hui! I know you have the habit of reading book reviews, so, don’t play dead! Come out and explain! Why is it that readers in Taiwan always see the latest chapters first? Which side are you from? Don’t tell us that the serialization progress on the Internet is slower than the publishing progress. Your book has also been published in simplified Chinese. Don’t think we don’t know. Now please explain why the simplified Chinese publishing speed is also slower than that in Taiwan? Why? Do you look down on us mainland book fans? Isn’t our money money? Don’t play dead! Explain quickly! Waiting online!”

After reading this post, Cao Sheng couldn’t help laughing.

He also noticed that this post had more than a thousand views and more than three hundred replies.

He scrolled down the page.

Noticed quite a few posts that echoed this.

For example: “Yes! The author should come out and explain! Do you really think that we mainland readers are easy to bully? It’s fine if outsiders bully us, but you are also from the mainland, and you actually bully us? How can this be justified?”

“Ah Hui! I won’t speak for you this time. I also want to hear your explanation!”

“I’m waiting online too!”

“If you can’t give us a satisfactory explanation today, I will never buy your book again.”

“If you write badly, it would be fine to let Taiwanese people read the latest chapter first, but if you write well, why do you let them read it first? Don’t you know your own position? Hurry up! Hand over all the rest of the content!”

……

After taking a quick glance at the comments, Cao Sheng smiled bitterly.

He was also quite helpless.

It feels quite innocent.

Because this is not his problem, but the efficiency of mainland publishing houses is not as good as those in Taiwan.

Can you blame him?
Don’t these readers know that for the same work, the publishing progress in Taiwan is generally faster than in mainland China?
But now so many readers want him to explain.

He thought about it, picked up his phone and called Changjiang Literature and Art to ask when the latest content of “The Mysterious Tower of Heaven and Earth” would be published and released?

The manuscript editor on the other end of the phone was a little confused by the question.

Maybe he didn’t expect Cao Sheng to suddenly call and ask this?
Cao Sheng had never specifically asked about this before.

She asked Cao Sheng to wait for a moment, as she needed to ask a colleague in the marketing department. A moment later, she called and told Cao Sheng the specific date.

Cao Sheng hung up the call, logged into the author’s backend, and opened a single chapter in “The Linglong Tower of Heaven and Earth”, briefly explaining the reasons and the approximate date when the simplified version would be released.

The title of this chapter is: “The Explanation You Want”

The text of the single chapter is as follows: “The editor suddenly contacted me and said that everyone was going to have a big fight, and asked me to come and explain quickly.

I took a look at the book review section and then I realized why everyone was angry.

I also saw that everyone asked me to explain why the publishing progress in Taiwan is faster than in the mainland.

To this, I want to say that I am innocent. If you were in front of me now, you would definitely be able to see my innocent look.

Because I submit my manuscripts to mainland and Taiwan publishers on the same day every month, for me, it’s just a matter of checking one more recipient when submitting the manuscript via email. It’s very simple and a piece of cake.

If the manuscript is not submitted on the same day, it will waste more of my time.

I just called the publishing house and they said that the simplified Chinese version should be available for sale in another week.

I’m sorry for the unpleasant experience brought to you all.

But the responsibility is really not mine.

You are scolding the wrong person.”

After this single chapter was sent out.

Cao Sheng refreshed the book review section from time to time, and then refreshed it again.

I want to see if everyone will apologize to him after reading this chapter?
Soon he saw several new book reviews.

“Hey! Are you feeling wronged? Come and see, brothers! Ah Hui feels wronged, this is rare! Hey, everyone, come and see!”

“You scolded the wrong person? You submitted your manuscript on the same day? What’s wrong? You submitted your manuscript on the same day, so we can’t scold you? Ah Hui! Are you getting cocky? You didn’t do anything wrong, so we can’t scold you? Can you please stop being so hypocritical?”

“Haha… the author actually came out to explain, it made me laugh to death! He even wanted us to see his innocent eyes? Does he think that just because he’s innocent, we’ll apologize to him? Haha… it makes me laugh to death!”

“Fuck! You’re the originator of online literature! You’re too cowardly. You come out to apologize as soon as we threaten you? Can you have some backbone? Show your great temper! If you’re so easy to talk to, we’ll be flattered, hehe.”

……

Cao Sheng: “…”

It wasn’t until the fifth new book review that he saw someone apologize to him. “I just read Ah Hui’s explanation. Say sorry to Ah Hui! But you deserve it! Who told you not to come out and explain earlier? If you had explained earlier, I wouldn’t have scolded you, right?”

Cao Sheng: “…”

At this moment, he wondered if he was out of date?
Why do these posts seem to be written by haters?

at the same time.

Magic City.

A single apartment.

Jin Qiaoyin, who is good-looking and has a nice figure, smiled when she saw Cao Sheng’s reply text message.

Smiling, she said to herself, “You’re welcome! Please call me Red Scarf.”

……

Same night.

Hong Kong.

Zhao Wenzhuo, who has already finished filming “Ong Bak”, is at his residence flipping through the new book “The Pagoda of the Mysterious Heaven and Earth” that he asked his assistant to buy today.

Ever since he got in touch with Cao Sheng, he began to take time to read Cao Sheng’s novels.

Originally, I just wanted to watch a little bit so that I could have some common topics with Cao Sheng in the future and narrow the distance between me and Cao Sheng.

I didn’t expect that once I got into online literature, it would be like being in a deep ocean and I would never be able to extricate myself from it.

He has been following the book “The Linglong Tower of Heaven and Earth” from the beginning to now.

He thought he already understood Cao Sheng’s talent.

But the “War of Liches” plot that appeared in this book tonight opened his eyes.

The battle between wizards and liches in the ancient times?
Emperor Jun? Emperor Jiang? Donghuang Taiyi? Gonggong? Zhurong? The Ten Golden Crow Princes?
How does Cao Sheng know these people and events so clearly?

Is Cao Sheng so knowledgeable?
Is this the cultural heritage of college students?
Do they still teach this in school?
Before reading Cao Sheng’s novel, he thought the masters in Hong Kong martial arts movies were already very powerful, but later he thought the male protagonists in Hollywood superhero movies were even more powerful.

Later, I started reading Cao Sheng’s “God’s Tomb” and “I Want to Become an Immortal”, and I felt that those who practiced immortality were the most powerful.

And tonight, the mythological characters that appeared in “War of Liches” made him suddenly remember that these people in Chinese mythology were the most powerful.

The Twelve Ancestral Witches, Emperor Jun, Donghuang Taiyi, Nuwa, Fuxi, Kunpeng…

According to legend, the descendants of the god who shot down nine suns are not among the Twelve Ancestral Witches.

There is also the ancestor Hongjun, who is respected as the ancestor of Taoism.

When Zhao Wenzhuo was watching these plots, he felt very happy and excited, and at the same time he felt that he had learned a lot of knowledge.

This is the first time I learned that the demon race was so powerful in ancient times.

The demon clan controls the sky? The witch clan controls the earth?
I finally understood what the “small witch” and “big witch” in the saying “a small witch meets a big witch” mean.

These two words are actually the level divisions among the ancient witch clan.

If this movie is filmed, it will probably need a lot of action actors, right? Which role can I play?

He subconsciously thought that he was currently a top figure in the field of action movies, and should be able to play a powerful role in “Warcraft”.

But then he thought of his age and temperament, and it seemed that he could not play the role of the top boss of the two races of wizard and lich.

Di Jun?

He has no confidence in acting.

Donghuang Taiyi?

He has no confidence either.

Dijiang? Jumang? Rushou? Gonggong? Xuanming? And so on.

He didn’t have the confidence to act well.

This is not a question of skill, but a question of age and temperament.

As he was thinking, he inexplicably thought of the nine Golden Crow princes shot down by Houyi, and felt as if he could play one of them.

As soon as this thought flashed through his mind, he shook his head quickly, wondering why he had such an idea? In “War of the Liches”, there are so many masters, why did he want to play one of the nine Golden Crow princes?

Those nine unlucky guys, obviously had extremely noble status and first-class Golden Crow bloodline, and were the biological sons of Di Jun, but they were shot to death one by one by Houyi, leaving behind eternal infamy and being forever despised by future generations.

……

Same night.

Nicholas Tse, who took a temporary vacation and went home to rest, locked himself in the room and played video games for a long time to relax himself.

He was born in the same year as Cao Sheng.

When he was born, he was given a golden key. His family had everything, including a luxury house and a luxury car.

Both parents are big stars.

But things are impermanent.

Before he fully grew up, he experienced the decline of his family’s financial situation and the divorce of his parents.

At the age of 16, he was sent to Yinghuang by his father to sign a contract, and started his career of making money to support his family.

When facing the media and the public, he always has a smile on his face, but in private, he seems very introverted. After work, when he occasionally returns home, he likes to lock himself in the room and immerse himself in the world of video games.

Because only at this time can he vent himself freely.

After all, he is still only a 20-year-old young man this year.

At such a young age, he has already been in the entertainment industry for several years, which has already made him physically and mentally exhausted. However, when he is in front of people, he still has to try hard to maintain a good image and smile.

After venting for a while, his shoulders slumped, and he leaned back in his chair in relaxation. He slowly turned his head and looked at everything in the room expressionlessly.

In recent years, thanks to his efforts, his family’s life has gradually improved.

But every time he saw everything at home, he would think of how hard he worked.

I wonder how long I can last living like this?

Therefore, everything in the room could not give him any sense of accomplishment.

He just felt tired.

Suddenly, he caught sight of three books on the corner of the table.

At the same time, he thought of what his father said to him with a smile when he came back today: “Tingfeng! The new book of the author you like is on the market again. I bought you a set today and put it in your room.”

A new book by an author I like?
A bit of gray in the Central Plains?

Thinking of this, he quickly sat up and reached out to take the three books.
