Reborn, I achieved legendary status with a single book.
After Chapter 100, I will be the supreme god.
After Chapter 100, I will be the supreme god.
“You’re really something. We’ve been talking for so long, why don’t you just say that you’re not arrogant?”
"I'm afraid you won't believe me if I tell you."
"Well, I really didn't believe it at the time."
With Gu Yue's confirmation, the group of authors were extremely excited.
Dangdang said embarrassedly, "I'm not being arrogant. I'm here using your name."
Others don't know what it means.
Dangdang gave a brief explanation.
moment.
All the authors burst into laughter.
Chen Yang was also amused by Dangdang's amazing move.
However, he didn't think anything of it. Instead, he said, "Not bad, quite clever. With that kind of cleverness, you'll definitely have no problem writing novels in the future."
Dangdang said shyly, "It was Thirty-Two who told me."
Thirty-two was a little embarrassed: "It's because you wanted to come."
Chen Yang shook hands with Thirty-Two: "Brother, I've always admired you."
Thirty-two said excitedly, "Bu Yangda, your calling me 'brother' melts my heart."
Then Chen Yang hugged Xiao Chao: "Xiao Chao, I didn't lie to you, did I?"
Xiao Chao said, "Bu Yangda, you're not lying to me, but I feel like I'm dreaming. Hit me, and I want to wake up from this dream."
Everyone burst into laughter at this.
Tiger, standing to the side, said apologetically, "Sorry, I almost tried to get you to another site. If I had, the editors at Qidian would have kicked me out."
Chen Yang replied, "It's alright, you've always been at Qidian too. Don't overthink it. I think with Qidian's current model and system, it will be at least 20 years ahead of the industry. Besides, as you all know, the founders of Qidian are also our peers; they were writers themselves. Even though they founded the website, they still care more about the authors. If other websites were to enter the capital game, then who knows what would happen to the entire website?"
This is not Chen Yang speaking up for Qidian.
Take the development over the past few decades as an example.
Qidian is one of the few websites that primarily focuses on the authors.
……
The first day of the training program involved registration and check-in.
The meeting officially began on the second day.
However, as the mentor, Chen Yang did not participate in some of the earlier courses.
In fact, Chen Yang was not arranged to participate at the starting point either.
joke.
Chen Yang is the instructor of the training program.
They're here to attend class, not to listen to lectures.
If he were to go there to attend classes...
Then who has the right to speak?
This arrangement is good.
Chen Yang could prepare the text in advance and then teach it when his class started.
2 PM the following afternoon.
The most important course in the Qidian Training Program: "An Unassuming Fantasy World".
This is Chen Yang's class.
Chen Yang originally wrote the title as "A Discussion on Creative Writing for Online Novels".
They looked at the starting point and then changed it to an even more awesome name.
Chen Yang didn't care.
"Wow, Bu Yang is about to start class."
"I heard you didn't see Yang Da yesterday?"
"Ah."
"Is she really the legendary 17-year-old?"
"You'll find out soon enough, won't you?"
Ding ding, thirty-two, the tigers chuckled inwardly.
Didn't they do the same thing yesterday?
until.
When Qidian's editor-in-chief, Baojian, appeared at the venue with Chen Yang, all the authors attending the training course were instantly abuzz.
"My goodness, she's really 17."
"Oh no, am I hallucinating?"
"Reality is more legendary than fiction."
"Now I know why 'The Great World' has such a youthful feel to it."
The authors in the audience applauded wildly.
Chen Yang's appearance truly stirred their nerves.
After a while, everyone quieted down.
Subsequently.
Bao Jian left the podium to Chen Yang and retreated to the other side.
Chen Yang cleared his throat and said, "Hello everyone, I'm Qi Maobu Yang, and this is my first time meeting you all. Actually, I'm quite embarrassed. At my age, I don't really have the qualifications to stand here. There are also many talented authors in the audience, such as Sister Cai, and Lao Wang... uh, Wang Zijun..."
One story is about Old Wang.
The audience burst into laughter.
Wang Zijun stood up and greeted everyone.
However, Chen Yang's use of the term "Old Wang" instantly bridged the gap between him and the others.
"Well, today we're having a class, or rather, a chat. I'm just like everyone else, a small-time author. I hang out in author groups and forums, and I enjoy listening to other authors' gossip."
Chen Yang continued, "Today's theme is creative writing. Previously, Qidian wanted me to talk about writing techniques. However, I think that for most of the authors here today, the so-called writing techniques are actually just that. As long as everyone studies diligently, they can also develop their own insights."
“I’ve always felt that creativity is more important than writing style in online novels. Although sometimes creativity alone can’t sustain a book, if you have a good idea and you’re a good writer, then a good work will come.” Chen Yang said directly without preparing a draft.
"However, some people might say that creativity is something that can't be forced, and you can't just create a whole bunch of schools of thought all at once. It's true that it's really difficult to create a school of thought. But even if we can't create a school of thought, can't we still make micro-innovations? Or can we further develop based on other people's innovations?"
"Take the recently popular 'Infinite Terror' for example. Everyone calls it 'Infinite Flow' now. I've also seen many copycat works on Qidian recently. While copying is fine for now, can we innovate a bit while doing so? For example, the worlds in Infinite Flow are one movie after another. Can we change that? Everyone can think about it."
Chen Yang paused.
He is prepared to give everyone some time.
However, sometimes you can't just think of something and expect to come up with it.
Because often, an author's thinking becomes rigid.
This is one of them.
Second.
When faced with a completely new genre, many authors are left with nothing but shock.
This can also block ideas.
Seeing that no one seemed to have any ideas, Chen Yang said, "Actually, it's simple. Writing is a very imaginative activity, so think about things more often. For example, let's replace the movie world in Infinite with a novel world. Can we enter Journey to the West, Romance of the Three Kingdoms, or Water Margin?"
Chen Yang's statement instantly sparked a wave of imaginative speculation among netizens.
"If we don't exaggerate, then could this world be an anime world?"
"of course can."
Chen Yang said, "It's not just the world of anime, it can also be TV series, novels, comics, games, myths, legends, even reality... and all kinds of virtual worlds. We can also try a different approach. In Infinite, there is a main god who issues missions. Can we remove these missions and let the protagonist explore this world on his own?"
"But, if there's no mission, what would the protagonist do inside?"
“We can create our own main storyline, for example, the protagonist increases his strength in different worlds. For instance, he can practice martial arts in a wuxia novel, cultivate immortality in a xianxia novel, or create a fantasy infinite flow style of writing…”
……
Chen Yang shared his creative writing with everyone for nearly two hours.
Even after two hours had passed, the authors still felt that time had flown by too quickly.
The class was supposed to end soon.
Seeing all these great authors, Chen Yang knew that many of them came from all over the country and it wasn't easy for them to make the trip, so he added another half hour.
"Then let's add another half hour. During this half hour, I won't be the only one talking. Everyone can talk about whatever they want."
Chen Yang said.
The authors knew this was a rare opportunity.
"I really want to write fantasy novels, but I just can't seem to get the hang of it. What should I do?"
The first person to ask a question was Lao Wang.
Chen Yang smiled and said, "Brother Zijun, you seem to have worked as a reporter before?"
"Yes, I've also worked as an editor."
"With such good conditions, there's really no need to keep fixating on fantasy. I think, given your previous profession, you could write more realistic themes. For example, write about the entertainment industry, business, or other industry-related online novels. Of course, if you feel it's not exciting enough, you can add a reincarnation or time travel element. However, you need to handle some sensitive issues carefully, or you might get banned if you're not careful."
Another author then stood up and asked, "Bu Yangda, I write urban entertainment novels, specifically about the entertainment industry. However, I don't know much about the entertainment industry. What should I do?"
The author immediately made everyone burst into laughter.
He doesn't understand the entertainment industry, yet he writes about it.
However, Chen Yang didn't think anything of it.
Chen Yang didn't know anything about cultivation, but he was also writing about it.
After thinking for a moment, Chen Yang said, "Are you writing about the Hong Kong entertainment industry?"
"Yes."
"Since you don't know much about the entertainment industry in Hong Kong, why not consider writing about the entertainment industry in other places? For example, Korean entertainment, Japanese entertainment, or even Chinese entertainment."
"You can even write about these?"
"They're all in the entertainment industry, of course I can write about them."
Chen Yang said.
That is, now.
In later entertainment literature, Hong Kong entertainment has been declining, while mainland entertainment has taken the lead.
As for Korean entertainment and Japanese entertainment... although they are niche.
But there are many die-hards.
Chen Yang remembered a famous author who wrote about Korean entertainment in his previous life. With just a few thousand readers, he earned more than 3 yuan a month in royalties.
"I don't want to boast, I write history. But there are so many great historians on Qidian. There's Yue Guan, and Ning Zhiyuan... Do you think I should keep stubbornly sticking to this field of history?"
"I don't know how to answer. If you are knowledgeable about history, I think you can continue. Of course, don't get too hung up on those top authors. The future of online literature is vast and can accommodate many excellent authors."
"Don't make it big..."
Then I spent another half hour chatting with everyone.
Due to time constraints, this is where we must end.
"Thirty-two, you've taken so many notes."
After class, Dangdang saw that Thirty-Two had taken a lot of notes and said...
Thirty-two carefully put away his notebook: "Do you know what this class is called?"
"Creative writing for online novels."
"What creative writing? Today's lesson is called 'The Guide to Becoming a Master Online Novel Author'."
"A Guide to Becoming a God?"
"Yes, I'm sure that in the future, a lot of people here might become gods."
Thirty-two said earnestly.
In Thirty-Two's eyes, Chen Yang was more than just a god.
He is supreme.
The Supreme God.
