  Chapter 715 The future literary master and media creator of E-zizuan

  When Jia Baoyu, under Feng Ziying's repeated requests, finally showed Feng Ziying his "achievement" in the past month, Feng Ziying couldn't help but give a thumbs up.

  There are countless beginnings, basically three to five thousand words are written, and then they are discarded.

Well, Feng Ziying looked at the content, "Wild Boar Forest" was obviously written in imitation of the style of "Wind and Snow on Liangshan"; "Fengyi Pavilion", of course, was written after "Li Wa Biography" and "Changbanpo" mixed up.

   There is also "Legend of the Great Banner Heroes", um, why is it so familiar? Isn't this Gu Long's novel?

At first glance, the content is completely different. This is Jia Baoyu opening the eyes for their Jia family. It is about the story of Ningrong's second son, Jia Yan, and Jia Yuan brothers who followed Zhou Taizu to conquer the world. Jia Yan and Jia Yuan were in front of Zhou Taizu. He came from carrying the flag, so it is called "Biography of Heroes of the Great Banner".

Feng Ziying has to admire that Jia Baoyu is quite capable in this area. Although several styles are all imitations, they still have a bit of that flavor, but if you want to make a name for yourself in the current market for legendary novels In the world, that is not easy.

   These days, legendary novels are also very popular.

Generally speaking, a legendary story novel with a novel plot, excellent writing style and fascinating story content can not only be printed and published in a book, but many of them can also be used by some storytellers in tea gardens as the basis for storytelling. Greatly expand the influence, attract more readers who are unwilling to listen to books but are willing to read books to buy, and it can also boost the author's reputation, so it can be said to complement each other.

  Now there are two factions in the Dazhou legendary novel market genre, the North and the South.

  The northern faction is mainly centered on the capital city, mostly mixed with northern idioms and slang.

  The Southern School is centered on Yangzhou, Suzhou and Jinling.

  However, there are also some excellent scripts that can successfully combine the content advantages of the North and the South, and become best-selling novels, but they are divided into North and South versions when they are published.

   It seems that Jia Baoyu is also ambitious, planning to integrate the styles of the two schools into one, and to achieve a "great cause".

   "Baoyu, it seems that you are very interested in this legendary story novel?" Feng Ziying already had some ideas, but he still wanted to know the bottom line.

  Hobbies can often determine the transformation of a mediocre person into a capable person. Feng Ziying hopes that Jia Baoyu is like this.

"Well, Brother Feng, when I'm depressed, I like to read these legendary story books, which can relieve my inner worries and distress. After reading these story books, I feel that I am one of them, and I can dance with these heroes. , to kill the enemy and serve the country, or to eradicate violence and secure the good, to be a knight-errant everywhere,..."

   "Can you still make love to me with the chivalrous princess, infinitely romantic?" Feng Ziying couldn't help but spit out a joke, and the sense of substitution of this YY obscenity was a bit overwhelming.

   Baoyu's face turned red again, and she was a little sullen in her heart.

  You have taken Sister Lin away, so can't you even imagine yourself in the legendary story? Although Sister Lin is not a chivalrous woman, she can also be imagined as a chivalrous woman.

  Seeing that Baoyu was silent, Feng Ziying felt that what she said hurt the other party's self-esteem a bit, and she also felt that she was a bit talkative.

  If this guy really has hobbies and interests in this field, and has a talent for writing, if he cultivates it well, he might be able to become a master of literature.

   "Baoyu, since you have put so much thought into this legendary novel, are you just writing it for fun, or do you really want to write some earth-shattering legends?"

  Feng Ziying's face became serious, which made Jia Baoyu subconsciously serious.

"Brother Feng, I really didn't think about it before, but since you asked me this way, I am really moved. There are many people who wrote this legendary story in the capital city, but I have read it, and many of them are Blindly catering to popular tastes, the writing style and diction are also unsatisfactory,..."

  As soon as Baoyu talked about this, Baoyu became a little eloquent.

"Well, that makes some sense, but I see that you have made so many ideas, but why didn't you write them all down?" Feng Ziying asked back: "Like "The Legend of the Great Banner Heroes", it is written that your ancestors followed the Taizu to fight the country. The move of the dragon should be very interesting, of course, it is not bad for the thirteen stick monks to save the king of Tang, but it looks like you are about to give up again?"

Feng Ziying's rhetorical question made Baoyu suffocate, he hesitated for a long time before saying: "Brother Feng, the main reason is that I feel that they are not satisfied with their writing, but when I wrote it myself, the clan couldn't grasp the key points, maybe I belong to the kind of people who have high eyesight and low hands? "

Feng Ziying laughed. He briefly glanced at Jia Baoyu's opening. To be honest, the writing style is really good, but the main elements of writing novels are still not mastered. In a word, novices are like this. Although Feng Ziying does not write novels, he can He reads novels.

Before this time travel, he was a fan of online novels. He has been reading online novels since the early 2000s, from the earliest fantasy sword, Tianying, Cuiweiju to the starting point, from "The Story of Charm" and "Mercenary World" from Taiwan at that time. "From the beginning to the starting point of the blood red, toad, old pig, etc., he is proficient in everything, and he feels that he has at least mastered the basics of the novel.

  This legendary story-based novel is equivalent to the Internet literature of this era, and it is probably similar.

   "Baoyu, Brother Yu thinks that you have basically touched the threshold of this legendary story-telling novel. The writing style is not bad, but the main reason is that you lack experience. You have to figure out how to master the tastes of the audience and readers..."

  Feng Ziying briefly talked about some basic points of how to write a good novel, which made Jia Baoyu suddenly enlightened, and he was even more in awe of Feng Ziying.

"Baoyu, in this way, you can use the story of the thirteen stick monks to save the king of Tang as the blueprint for your creation, and write a legendary novel. I will go to Zheng Shishu to take charge of it, and wait for you to achieve something in this area. , then brother Yu can have a task for you."

Feng Ziying is already thinking about showing the stories of suppressing the rebellion in Western Xinjiang and expanding the Western Regions through legendary scripts. This kind of thing is definitely loved by the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of War, and it can also please Emperor Yonglong. As for the specific details, that is too much. It's easy to compile, and you can pick as many stories as you want.

   After settling down the overjoyed Baoyu, Feng Ziying went to negotiate with Jia Zheng again.

   "Ziying, how could you let Baoyu write some legendary stories? How can you let Baoyu do this kind of thing like a boring literati?" Jia Zheng couldn't understand it, it was beyond his imagination.

"Uncle Zheng Shi, times are changing, and some of the original views may not be suitable." Feng Ziying shook her head, "I used to think that opera is a boring thing to do in my spare time, but can you now say that it is low-class? Writing scripts Who is the most famous? Qingyuan Daoist is a Jinshi in the 27th year of Yuanxi, from officials to ministers of the Ministry of Rites and bachelors of the Imperial Academy, who doesn’t know, who doesn’t know?”

   Was rendered speechless by Feng Ziying's refutation.

  Tang Xianzu, a Taoist from Qingyuan, is undoubtedly the leader among the scholars in Jiangxi. He has been practicing in his hometown for several years. His "Peony Pavilion", "Southern Ke Ji" and other Linchuan Four Records are famous far and wide.

"My little nephew sees that this legendary novel is also increasingly entering the homes of ordinary people. Nowadays, many scholars don't like to go to the theater in that theater, because they think it's too noisy. They prefer to watch it in their leisure time. If Baoyu has an idea in this regard, he might as well let him have a try, if it doesn’t work, it doesn’t matter, if it works, maybe it’s a way out.”

  Feng Ziying's words made Jia Zheng a little puzzled, "Ziying, what do you mean by saying this is a way out? Could it be that you are publishing and selling this novel?"

"Uncle Zheng Shi, if you believe in my nephew, let Baoyu try it out. Didn't the imperial concubine also say to give Baoyu to my nephew? Baoyu is the younger brother of the imperial concubine, and she can trust my nephew. Could it be that Zheng Shi Uncle still doesn’t believe it?” Feng Ziying paused, “Why don’t we let Baoyu have a try for a period of one year, if there is something good, then Uncle Shi can feel at ease, if not, then my nephew will find another one for Baoyu Let's get out."

  Jia Zheng looked at Feng Ziying who was swearing, and thought about it, even if he disagreed, so what?

  How could he, a father, not know about the situation of his own Baoyu? Since Feng Ziying felt that there could be a way out of this seemingly absurd writing of legendary novels, he had nothing to say.

However, he still felt that Feng Ziying might not simply ask Baoyu to write legendary scripts to sell, but more or less had something to do with the affairs of the court, but he couldn't figure it out, and the other party is obviously now unwilling to say.

   "That's all, Ziying is up to you and Baoyu to toss about. You have always been measured, and I only trust you." Jia Zheng said solemnly, which is considered to be entrusting Jia Baoyu to Feng Ziying.

  Since she had made up her mind, Feng Ziying didn't hesitate.

A mere legendary story book, of course, would not make Feng Ziying so aggressive. Jia Baoyu's level, if you look for such a shooter among those literati who failed the imperial examination and are struggling to make ends meet, you can easily find it better than Baoyu. Strong, but lost that meaning.

  Feng Ziying thought that since "Nei Can" is so popular in the court, if it is possible to create a "Nei Can" that is spread in the market, how popular will it be?

  The current printing level and ability are enough to support a newspaper with a small circulation, at least in the capital city, so can it be possible to preemptively occupy this advantage in public opinion to promote certain things to appear earlier?

  The legendary novels written by Baoyu can be serialized in this newspaper in the future, or they can be printed and sold in a single volume. Baoyu, who is getting familiar with this aspect, may become the veteran editor of this newspaper.

   The fifth update!
