How many poems have written about the prosperous beauty of this world, and how many swords can cut through the evil of wandering in the darkness? The young Li Bai drew his sword forward and walked head-on into the red dust, carrying wine and swords, poems and songs, and a group of like-minded "hero" partners behind him.
Recently, the regional story "Chang'an: Qinglian Sword Song" created by Feng Yue, a writer who reads the god of literature, for the "Magic Pen Project" was launched, which won the attention and praise of many book fans. The plot of the novel twists and turns, thrilling and exciting, in the vivid portrayal of the wind and moon, a young chivalrous figure who "brushes away the clothes and hides the merits and fame" jumps on the paper.
Switched from civil engineering to writing online literature
Feng Yue, the god writer of reading group, one of the twelve kings of online literature in 2019, is known as the "2019 fantasy blockbuster king". Specialized in ACG style and fantasy themes, he is good at hot blood and hardcore style, and is known for his extreme sense of picture and strong plot conflict.
According to the Nandu reporter, Fengyue university began to write online texts, at the beginning but in order to earn some tuition, incidentally to make some money to buy a computer, did not expect to "go around" wrote for many years.
Because I majored in civil engineering, I buried my head in "building mechanics, budgeting, statistics, and construction" every day, and "after being too attached to reality, I would like to pursue something vague." He said that he often had some messy things in his head, so he deeply cultivated fantasy themes and wrote absurd and bizarre stories that were far from reality.
His masterpieces such as "The Crown of Silence" and "Apocalypse Forecast" have novel story settings, excellent writing, strong sense of picture, and always have some cold humor that makes people smile; the battle atmosphere is described well, and it is praised by book lovers as "close-up slow-motion with background sound separation, which reads like watching MV". "The Crown of Silence" won the third place in the monthly list of fantasy classification in the boys' original wind and cloud list. "Apocalypse Forecast" has long occupied the first place in the monthly list of fantasy classification in the boys' original wind and cloud list, and the number of fans in the starting station alone has exceeded one million, and has won the honorary badge of the two stars of the starting point glory, which is deeply loved by readers.
Talking about the "Apocalypse Forecast", which is still serialized, Feng Yue confessed that she originally wanted to write a fantasy work similar to Neil Gaiman's "American Gods". "In modern urban society, when legends become legends and myths become myths, if there are really miracles or gods, what kind of changes will they bring to us, and what will be the difference between our lives and the reality of life we face?"
In Feng Yue's view, the setting of "Apocalypse Forecast" is "very non-web text" and is not suitable for lightweight reading. On the one hand, the theme of the text is too serious, on the other hand, the author throws out a lot of mysteries, suspense and clues at the beginning, and gradually peels back the cocoon to reveal it in the update, which poses a greater challenge to the patience of online readers.
But the characters and plot underpin the reputation of Apocalypse Forecast. "The protagonist, from a helpless, impoverished teenager, after experiencing various encounters, gradually learns to face the cruel world with strength and bravery, and to say 'no' to some things that he feels are wrong, which is where readers like, from teenager to hero."
There are also some light-hearted bridges that fill up the pleasant value in reading. For example, there is a plot in "Apocalypse Forecast" in which everyone becomes an animal, and the protagonist becomes a husky. Feng Yue revealed that he and his wife Bai Ze jointly raised a Samoyed named Duoduo. Samoyed is treacherous and cunning, and will deliberately please people, but when he goes outside, he especially likes to bully small animals, in the words of Feng Yue, "fierce and instigated".
"I applied all the parenting experience and observations of the flowers in our two lives to the protagonist, which led everyone to think that the part I wrote about the protagonist became a dog, which was particularly vivid."
Starting point male and female frequency writers group CP
There is a hot question on Zhihu: if a male writer marries a female writer, what will life be like? Feng Yue and his wife, the female frequency writer Bai Ze, are the answers to this question in reality.
Feng Yue and Bai Ze, one is a fantasy writer, one is a romance writer, one is a Shanxi person, and one is a Sichuan girl. The process of their acquaintance is an adventure. Many years ago, when their works were serialized in magazines, they used the same pseudonym , "Shirasawa". The fantasy-writing Shirasawa and the romance-writing Shirasawa make the reader stupid and confused, and privately, the two Baize also intersect.
Wind Moon and Shirasawa
The two people are very chatty, "It feels like two creators are chatting together, after all, there is such a coincidental fate, a man and a woman, are still single." Later, Feng Yue went to Chongqing, where Bai Ze was located, and the two met for the first time and embraced each other, "At that time, I felt that a part of my life was suddenly complete, and there was a sense of fit that God sent her to me and made in heaven." ”
Three or four months later, the two "flash marriage" and formed a small family in Shanghai. "Suddenly, a wife fell from the sky and hit me." Feng Yue said happily. This move was impulsive and rash in the eyes of others, but Feng Yue felt that she had met the right person at the best time. "There is no second person in the world who understands me as well, likes me so much, loves me so much, and loves me so much."
The two online writers group CP spend most of their time writing with their heads buried in their own heads. Wind Moon is used to using dynamic rock music as the background sound, but Bai Ze likes to be quiet, at most putting a little white noise, such as the sound of rain or snow. Therefore, the two will deliberately separate when they work, and each occupies a small piece of the world.
But they will chase each other, give advice, share the latest creative inspiration, and each other is each other's staunchest supporter and most loyal supporter. "She is a romance writer, and as a male frequency writer who is more obtuse or does not understand the thoughts and intentions of girls, when encountering some psychological changes or small details, I will ask her for her opinion, including when my character is emotionally handled, and I make sure that she will publish it after reading this thing and feeling that it is okay." 」
Not only that, but the sweet married life also affected the style of the two. Feng Yue's original tone was biased towards a dark and gloomy and serious gothic feeling, and writing about sunshine and optimism and happiness after marriage also had a "handy" feeling. Shirasawa was originally good at bloodless abuse, but after marriage, he successfully transformed into "a benevolent wife who likes to write HGG".
The people who silently support themselves behind them are also heroes
Feng Yue's writing has always been praised in the online literary circle, but with the passage of creation, he has a new understanding of the language of novels. He confessed to the Nandu reporter that in his early years, he thought that the more gorgeous and fancy he wrote, the more powerful he was. Later, after writing more, I slowly realized that what really impressed the reader may be the key one or two sentences or one or two details of the foreshadowing.
Reorganizing his creative path, Feng Yue found that "many of the content that was once particularly fancy and graceful in description actually does not need so much rendering itself, and it can show more pure things to the reader in a more straightforward way." "Because" writing always serves the story, it is only a technique that embodies the author's ability. ”
The text of "Chang'an: Qinglian Sword Song" has the freshness and simplicity of "clear water out of hibiscus, natural carving". Speaking of the protagonist hero Li Bai of "Chang'an: Qinglian Sword Song", Feng Yue said that in addition to his well-known poetic talent, hero Li Bai also has a high swordplay, reflecting his romantic and uninhibited temperament as a ranger. The romance of the literati and the ranger's insistence on good and evil make "Hero Li Bai" a particularly conspicuous and bright symbol.
"Getting young readers to accept the image of a juvenile hero Li Bai is a way of writing that interests me quite a bit." Wind Moon said.
In Chang'an: The Song of the Qinglian Sword, the protagonist is portrayed as a teenage hero who launches an inexhaustible struggle against evil. Borrowing from the characters in the book, Feng Yue also expressed his understanding of "heroes": "The reason why we can become heroes is because there are more people behind us who have no way to become heroes who are silently supporting us and silently providing us with various conveniences and help, they are also heroes, and they are part of the heroes we have become." ”
Reading god writer Wind Moon
For Feng Yue, the heroic qualities in the novel are not only about protecting the world and saving mortals. Heroes also mean plucking up the courage to take a step forward in a difficult situation, reaching out to those who have fallen to the bottom, or bravely saying "no" in the face of unfairness.
Those who are retrograde on the front line of the fight against the epidemic are heroes, and those who silently guard the manhole cover in the flood are not heroes?
Feng Yue said: "When writing the "Apocalypse Forecast" and "Chang'an: Qinglian Sword Song", I felt that a real hero is not only fearless of suffering, he can also give courage to those who have entered the trough and fall into pain, to tell them the hope and light ahead, and more people will stand up and follow his footsteps together - I think this is the most perfect thing a hero can do." ”
