The publicist of the TV series "Mirror Twin Cities" posted a topic called "Mirror Twin Cities Jade Bone Yao" on the public platform.
Looking at the title, I feel that the two TV series have no connection. In fact, they have a lot to do with each other! The same goose factory production, but also the same author wrote the same series.
Two novels can be filmed, listed as S-class productions, and starred by two actors who are well dressed up in ancient costumes. So much good fortune is all in the original author.
The original author of these two novels is called Cangyue, but she did not participate in the promotion of the series, giving up the opportunity to give herself a wave of fame.
Speaking of Cangyue, her works are mainly fantasy themes and martial arts themes, and she has published many novels, but only "Listening to the Snow Building", "Mirror Twin Cities" and "Mirror Zhuyan" have been filmed and televisioned. In addition, after the author himself published the novel "Mirror ZhuYan" in 2016, he did not produce a new work, and then simply closed Weibo and disappeared into the public eye. This makes cangyue's name not so loud.
Around 2005, Cangyue's labels on the Internet were 'beautiful writers', 'school bullies', 'game spokespersons'... What kind of person is she?
Today, let's take a look at the story of the cangyue.
The little girl first entered the jianghu
Before Cangyue published martial arts novels, Jin Yong had long been a school of his own in the field of martial arts novels.
In 1999, cangyue and Jin Yong's fate was not only readers and authors, but students and deans. That year, Jin Yong became the dean of the School of Humanities at Zhejiang University.
At that time, Cangyue, who was studying architecture at Zhejiang University, participated in the "Martial Arts Essay Contest" held by the school at the instigation of her roommate, and the entry was her old manuscript "Snow Full of The World" from her high school years, and won the second prize.
After emerging, Cangyue soared in the writing path, she registered the pen name Cangyue under the famous online literary front "Banyan Tree", and wrote "Star Wars" and received more than 3 million reprints and readings.
In 2004, "Legend of The Ancient World" held a large-scale national college students' martial arts novel competition, and Cangyue won the first place with "Blood Wei" and became famous in the First World War.
After becoming famous in world war I, the voices of Jin Yong, Gu Long, and Wen Rui'an, who questioned Cangyue's 'plagiarism', pounced on her like a wave.
Questioning this, Cangyue said in an interview with Metropolis Daily that her works at the middle school and university levels imitated more elements of Jin Yong, Gu Long, and Wen Rui'an.
In 2004, her wuxia novel "Blood Wei" was officially published, and since then, her wuxia novels have been published one after another.
With the increasing number of martial arts novels published by Cangyue, readers find that she is a rare woman who loves to write and wander the rivers and lakes, and the women she writes are no longer the supporting roles of the jianghu male heroes, nor are they the small white flowers that need to be protected.
Although the theme of women's wandering in the rivers and lakes is not the patent of Cangyue, her brilliant writing method lies in focusing on portraying the delicacy and emotional experience of women's inner world, which is unique.
The author of the novel can receive endorsements
Unexpectedly, in 2005, Cangyue appeared in the 3D martial arts online game "Moxiang" at the event conference, and she participated in the event as a game spokesperson. On that day, she was dressed in long blue hair, wearing a long blue cheongsam and long boots and armor.
At that time, social media had not yet risen, and the appearance of online authors was mainly photographed at signing parties or media events. Probably only Cangyue is very high-profile, and she is very good at dressing up and standing in front of the media to let the media shoot her.
Even now, very few fiction writers have been chosen as game spokespersons.
After the game conference, the photos of Cangyue's contemporary speakers went viral on the Internet, and many netizens who had seen the photos were extracted into Cangyue's labels 'beautiful martial arts writers', 'xueba', and 'moxiang sect leaders'.
Some people say, 'People who are too beautiful also suffer losses, because everyone only pays attention to their beauty and ignores their strength.' ’
Cangyue is an exception, everyone praises her beauty and pays attention to her works.
A generation of fantasy divas
The moon abandons the rivers and lakes, from the mysterious. This shift was that she didn't want to be bound by the writing rules of cold weapons and hot weapons, so she began to write fantasy novels.
However, some netizens analyzed Cangyue's rewriting of the fantasy theme novel, which may be her going with the trend, after all, the martial arts theme is declining, and the fantasy theme is growing.
Cangyue's later works, such as the "Mirror" series and the "Feather" series, are all fantasy novels. At that time, the purchasing power of readers for the "Mirror" series, so that its sales volume was ahead of other works for many years, the publisher was very happy, and gave her the title of 'Fantasy Queen of Heaven'.
The fantasy novels she wrote are the same as the 'male frequency' fantasy novels, and they are all legendary lives in the context of Hongda.
However, Cangyue's fantasy novels, whether male or female, may be chosen by the chosen, may be lovers, and may all be people with great responsibilities and ambitions.
However, the background written by Cangyue is too magnificent, and the scene is too illusory, which requires high special effects and is not conducive to film and television.
In 2015, the journey of the 'Queen of Fantasy Queen' crossed from paper to the big screen, and as the original author, she participated in the promotion of the concept of the film "Mirror" released by Ruyi Pictures at the Cannes Film Festival.
At this time, she confidently said to the reporter: "I hope that "Mirror. "Twin Cities" can become the Chinese version of "The Lord of the Rings"... In particular, I look forward to the whole film pattern being a little bigger and a bigger field of vision. ”
The idea is beautiful, but the reality is not complete. Until now, everyone has not seen the movie version of "Mirror" released, it is estimated that it is difficult to give birth.
Now, the TV drama version of "Mirror" is an S-level large-scale production, and the special effects presented still make netizens complain.
After 2015, she published the novel Zhu Yan, which seemed to be her last fantasy novel.
Since then, Cangyue has transcribed science fiction novels, and she has also published science fiction chapters on the public account.
The reason for the transcribed subject this time, she did not disclose.
Her love and affection
Cangyue's success in writing is inseparable from her fate with books and her love of writing.
According to Cangyue herself, after she became literate, she began to read a lot, and there were several rooms in the house that were all collected by her parents, from astronomical geography to novel masterpieces, she read them tirelessly.
Her fate with books accompanied Cangyue to complete her literary enlightenment.
When Cangyue was in graduate school, she spent one-third of her time in her studies and two-thirds of her time writing novels.
After she worked, during the day in the architectural design institute, she was an architect meticulously drawing drawings, spending at least 3 hours after work to write, she was a 'dream weaver', typing on the keyboard to write the world she had conceived.
Behind Cangyue's love of writing is high self-consciousness and self-discipline.
END
Writing is a very precious thing in Cangyue's heart, using other channels to make a living will greatly reduce the pressure of writing, so that writing becomes more casual and natural, can be advanced and retreated, and is not bound.
Some people say that she has achieved financial freedom by writing, so she retreated.
From the writing of the moon to the retreat, just like this sentence' 'Holding the spirit beads in your hands is always working hard, and your heart is open to heaven and not blowing the flute'.
