In 2010, when Brother Pure Love began to write a book, he said that it was because he couldn't really soak in the university, so he could only find something to pass the lonely and empty time. That year, it was also the time when the photo of the sharp brother on the Internet was brushed, so he took this pen name by hand.
As a writer of fantasy online texts, saying that the fantasy class is the shoulder handle in the male frequency article should be opposed by no one. Even if you are not a reader of fantasy novels, you must have the impression that when you were a student, how many boys indulged in it and forgot to eat. It is not limited by science, humanities, time and space, and is free to play by the author's imagination.

When it comes to why fantasy novels have such a great charm, Pure Love Sharp Brother believes that the novel world view and bloody plot are the main reasons. In the world of fantasy novels, there are all kinds of imaginations, such as the coexistence of demons, demons, wizards, demons and ghosts, which is refreshing; the suspense in the plot is repeated, so that the reader continues to look forward to it as soon as he enters the pit.

For the statement that "fantasy novels are men's Korean dramas", he does not agree: "I don't see much Korean dramas, and I have seen you from the stars, the crown prince's first love, etc., Korean dramas are to create a perfect lover to the heroine, the whole drama is to talk about love, but I think the fantasy novels are different, the male protagonist of the fantasy novels has various shortcomings, in fact, the fantasy novels are not romance dramas, it is more of a history of struggle! ”
"History of Struggle" is a good summary of the fantasy novel, the male protagonist is basically a weak person at the beginning, under the author's goldfinger and the personal struggle of the protagonist, all the way to upgrade the monster to pick up treasures, win the goddess, become a strong. This kind of plot is inspirational and bloody, it is easy to cause a strong emotional experience to the reader, but at the same time, it is also facing the problem of "routine rigidity", and Brother Sharp believes that "every author is trying to break their own rigidity, but it is always difficult to break through themselves!" In fact, many times it is not that the author has not improved, but that the reader has progressed too fast, and the progress of the author cannot keep up with the pace of the reader! ”
In addition to the plot, the construction of the world view is also a core part of the fantasy novel.
Readers who have read the fantasy text know that the length of the fantasy text is generally relatively long, and millions of words are commonplace, because the world view shaped by the fantasy novel is too grand, often the cosmic galaxy, three stars and six paths, including character levels, weapons, ecological environment, etc., all need the author to build bit by bit, so the length is relatively large.
"This is thanks to our motherland, five thousand years of civilization, intercepting any part of the culture, can be a good inspiration, such as the Classic of Mountains and Seas, such as the list of gods, such as Journey to the West... Each of our chinese has a virtual world about various demons and ghosts in their blood, and then based on this, plus their own imagination and other perfections, we can have countless world views."
Brother Sharp believes that the talent of writing fantasy novels is very important, because the author must have a strong imagination and shaping power. Although his original intention in writing novels was to pass the time in college idleness, but after all, this is a long-term thing that needs to be adhered to, and it also requires the accumulation of classical Chinese culture and other aspects" In fact, many fantasy novels have intercepted a part of Chinese culture, Confucianism and Taoism have been integrated into our blood, and every book can find the ideas in it. ”

Last month, the "Supreme Heavens" movie held a launch ceremony in Wuxi, and its mobile game of the same name has also been developed, and the adapted anime has been updated serially on many comic websites such as Palm Reading, Youyi Qi, Tencent Animation, etc., and the number of hits on the whole network has exceeded 400 million.
Now IP is very popular, almost all of the screens are dominated by IP dramas, although fantasy novels have a huge fan base, but the works that really realize film and television are still very few compared to female frequency texts, most of them are gamified or animated. Fantasy novels because of the world view, the grand scene, the production cost is very large, so to a certain extent, the fantasy novel film and television is difficult, but with the advancement of technology, there are also many fantasy texts "Xuan Xian", "Choosing Heaven", "Wudong Qiankun" and so on have produced TV series.
In this regard, the attitude of The Sharp Brother is also very optimistic: "In fact, in terms of storyline setting, we have always had an advantage, I personally feel that Hollywood fires such as Wonder Woman and other movies, although well-made, special effects are amazing, but the storyline setting is really general! ”
With the innate advantage of the plot, Brother Sharp believes that the market for fantasy novels should become larger and larger, especially optimistic that film and television and game adaptations will develop more rapidly, and when special effects and other technologies are further advanced, fantasy novels should be able to have a wave of eruptions.
In the context of IP, there is a saying that "this is the worst era of online literature, this is the best era of online writers" - because this is the most commercialized era of online literature, and online writers face huge benefits. Brother Sharp does not agree with this statement, "It is not the worst era of the online text industry, but because the cake of the online text is particularly large, there are too many people in this industry, and there are more websites, resulting in greater competition, but the market is bigger." The market is bigger, the competition is bigger, and the chance of good works is greater.

Fantasy novels, originally meant "fantasy novels based on fantasy", the so-called metaphysical factors, that is, the interpretation, description and exploration of Taoist thought, I Ching numbers, folklore, supernatural and occult studies related to traditional Chinese culture.
Its source may be the "Classic of Mountains and Seas" and "Search for God"; the "Legend of the Immortals of Shu Mountain" by the lord of The ZhuLou Opens the chapter of modern mysticism. Up to now, fantasy novels have developed into an important genre in the novel industry with many branches such as immortals, cultivators, and magic, attracting generations of readers.
Earlier, there was news that Chinese fantasy novels have the effect of "drug addiction" in foreign countries, and many foreigners even wrote their own fantasy novels in order to see the updated fantasy texts in Chinese in time; in the fantasy novel forum, some people said that Chinese fantasy novels, like Korean dramas, Japanese animations, and American movies, should be the key to the spread of Chinese culture. Of course, this is an exaggeration, and Brother Sharp also said that "fantasy novels are still far inferior to Japanese anime and American movies, and we can only work hard to look forward to one day becoming a benchmark." ”
But what is worth thinking about is, how is it mysterious? So many good-looking urban romances, palace fights, campus pure love... It's also addictive. Why do fantasy novels resonate with Readers in Europe and America? Probably because this kind of inspiration is born out of the myths, legends and historical classics that have evolved in China for thousands of years, and has constructed a huge world view deeply rooted in traditional Chinese culture, which is completely different from the cultural background of the Western world, coupled with a strong sense of play, bringing an unprecedented reading experience to foreign readers.
After all, there are some feelings common among human beings, whether Chinese or foreigners, we have a heartfelt praise for civilian heroes, and seeing them from straw bales and eventually reaching the peak of martial arts and cultivation is to reach the highest point.
Fantasy novels, the road ahead, is still a long way off.
