Childlike innocence weaves a colorful world (main)
——Interview with "post-80s" campus literature writer Blue Angel

Our reporter Wan Daihui text/picture

In the Spring Festival of 2010, Nan'an City held the annual "Writers Association New Year Symposium".According to the usual habit, the new and old members attending the meeting need to report their names to each other and introduce their creations in the past year.

In the conference room attended by nearly a hundred people, the microphones were passing each other in the hands of the members.After a while, a young woman stood up slowly. She looked around with a calm tone. She said that her name was Wu Shuping, her pen name was blue Angel, and it was her first time to attend the symposium.Then, she also said that she created and published 3 campus novels in 3 years, and after being serialized on Tencent.com, the click rate has exceeded [-] million.

As soon as this remark came out, there was applause at the scene.As we all know, Fujian's novel creation has always been a weak point in China, and influential campus novels are even rarer.And she can silently create and publish 3 campus novels within 3 years, which is really admirable.

So how did she get into creating?What works?Behind her are those well-known stories?Recently, the author gladly accepted an exclusive interview with our reporter.

The major studied has nothing to do with Chinese (minor)

Blue Angel, 1.6 meters tall, dresses in pursuit of relaxed and lively, a pair of glasses makes her more bookish.Maybe it's because of the "night train" of creation, the mobile phone is always turned off during the day, if you want to contact her, you can only send a message and wait for her reply.

On the same day, the reporter made an appointment with her for an interview, and when they met, she also brought her published works, namely "Bad Laughing Grass", "The Little Witch's Wizard of Oz" and "Empire William".

Perhaps in normal thinking, many people would think that those who are engaged in literary creation must study Chinese-related majors, but Angel’s major is architectural decoration design.In this regard, in her novels, her professionalism in architecture can be felt everywhere.

After graduating from college that year, she was employed by a foreign decoration company in Quanzhou to engage in design work.A year later, she moved to a primary school in Jinjiang as a teacher.Perhaps it was her exposure to the special environment of school that stimulated her creative enthusiasm.

When talking about the creation of campus novels, she felt that she was not impulsive at all, but experienced a long accumulation. "When I read fairy tales when I was six years old, my mind was full of fantasies about the stories in fairy tales. At a young age, I liked to read some poems and children's classics at home and abroad." She said.

Later, during middle school, she wrote poetry and prose of 10,000+ words; at the age of 18, her poems were selected into the reader "Wenyou"; she started writing novels for the first time, and wrote [-] to [-] words in one go.Although it was an unintentional attempt, it won awards in some competitions.It was the encouragement of unexpected awards that made her fall in love with words and the happiness brought by words.

Published more than 300 million words of works in two years (small bid)

Regarding her current achievements, Wu Shuping is calm and calm, and she deeply understands the hardships of creation.She said: "The novel is an unintentional way of expression for me. I want to use words to spread a kind of happiness." Back then, when she left the decoration company and applied to teach in elementary schools, she focused on creation.

From 2007 to 2009, in just two years, she published a total of more than 300 million words of works, including publishing 3 physical books, Mint Youth magazine serialized the first two volumes of "School Grass Loves Flowers", among which there are many Youth magazines pirate serials, such as "Angel Honey". Once the physical book of "School Grass Falls in Love with Flower Empire William" was released, it was sought after by pirates, for example, the pirated book dubbed "The Love of the Dragon Prince" by Kim Hyun-jung of South Korea.A year after its launch, there were six bootleg editions.

Then there are two magazine supplements, for example; "History of Princess Bubble Magic" (Magazine Supplement) July 2008 "Huahuo Magazine". "Violin Waltz" (magazine supplement) September 7 "Mint Magazine" supplement.This kind of creative speed also allows us to feel her passion and the "crazy" of her work from one aspect.

In addition, from 2009 to 2010, she began to create a million-word novel of fantasy romance and mythology, focusing on the story between the mermaid and the blood race.

"This combination of stories has never been created before," she said.

Yes, in the book "Bad Laughing Grass" published by her, this is a campus novel devoted to music.In this regard, she said: "I like the violin and piano, so I used some musical elements and music masters in the novel; and the other "The Little Witch's Wizard of Oz" is a novel with fairy tales and myths. , is related to fairy tales."

Feel the joy of creation in pain (subscript)

During the interview, the reporter learned that Wu Shuping has resigned from her original job after the Spring Festival this year, and devoted herself to creating, transitioning from amateur to professional, also trying to transition from novels to script creation, and also trying to get involved in the field of animation.Allegedly, her main source of income now is royalties.Although not very rich, she is confident about the future.

At present, Quanzhou Liujingkong Cultural Industry Creative Park has initially reached a cooperation agreement with her to create an "animation" script.In this regard, she is full of confidence.

When the reporter asked why the protagonist in the novel is named 'Hua', she said: "My novels all have a common theme, that is, the protagonist's character is always a kind, sunny, optimistic and tough girl. Their surname is 'Hua', which is taken from the famous historical figure Hua Mulan. I hope that no matter what difficulties they encounter, they will work hard to overcome them and have an optimistic, open-minded, positive spiritual force."

She believes that as school books, positive and healthy themes are very important to children.

She said: In order to create, I often have fun while suffering.In order to write about a specific building, I traveled a long way to a large library to check information.It took more than an hour to walk to the library, and it took 5 hours to check the information.It takes a day to go back and forth.It takes more than two hours to walk back and forth.After taking off the shoes, I found that the toes were all red and swollen. The skin on the toes was worn out and bloodshot.And I often write and organize materials under the light at night, and only after writing each scene, I breathe a sigh of relief, and only then do I realize that my feet are extremely sore.

After the publication of the work, the response was fierce and continued to create (fiction)

Because Wu Shuping is involved in campus literary novels, her works have attracted widespread attention on the Internet.Therefore, these three works were actively approached by the publishing house.

It is understood that thanks to the rapid spread of the Internet, she is currently writing five volumes of "School Grass Loves Flowers".It tells the story of an 18-year-old kind and brave girl 'Huamumu' who defies all difficulties and dangers and travels across half of the world to find her own life and love. From China, Japan, Denmark, England, Scotland, etc., no matter how far the journey is, She also needs to find her own anchor point.

"The School Grass Falls in Love with Flowers: William of the Empire", "The School Grass Falls in Love with Flowers: Twelve Uniforms", "The School Grass Loves Flowers: The Danish Pirates", "The School Grass Falls in Love with Flowers: The Principality of William", "The School Grass Falls in Love with Flowers" The Legend of the Flower Heaven".

Now that the five volumes of novels have been completed, we are looking for people with discerning eyes to discuss the comic cartoon version and the operation of film and television rights.

In recent years, readers have spread all over the world. Both e-mail and physical letters have received letters and comments from overseas readers such as Hong Kong, Taiwan, Malaysia, Japan, and South Korea, and even long comments of [-] words.

Wu Shuping said, "That moved me to tears. Really, I have never cried so much for what I have paid. But they moved me so strongly and shocked me."

Creation always has bitterness and sweetness, gains and losses.Wu Shuping still remembers a time that made her deeply moved—after the publication of "The School Grass Loves the Flower Empire William", when she got the book, she sat in front of the desk for a long time, just stroking the writing and sitting silently.She said that this kind of feeling is like fine water piercing through rocks, moistening things silently, just like seeing the children she raised finally grow up, become independent, and go out of the country. Exclamation of effort!
Finally, she said: readers are the driving force for the author to move forward!She will write well.Create more and better-looking works to repay the countless readers who care and support her!
