Han Leng had always been thinking, what was the meaning of novels?
Some authors did it for money. They wrote novels to earn money.
In the past, Han Leng had looked down on this type of author. But when he realized that he couldn't even afford to eat without money and was starving to the point of wanting to die, he felt that he could understand authors who wrote for money. Even if the things they wrote were carefully calculated, as long as the readers liked it and could bring pleasure to the readers, then it was meaningful.
Many ordinary people lived in the world and would not seek for any great principles. They read novels to feel good. It was that simple.
Han Leng admired authors who wrote purely for money. This meant that they really put the readers first. Perhaps when they were writing, they themselves felt that it was boring, but in order to make the readers buy it, they had to write in this way.
Therefore, some readers would accuse certain authors of being too routine and too insincere. They would always write the same outline until they died. This was actually very unreasonable, because readers would grow. And after the authors identified their own reader group, they realized that writing in this way could still be liked by new readers, so they did not care about those old readers who were tired of reading the same routine.
Newbie readers were like chives. After one crop was cut, another crop would grow.
This was actually a very wise choice, if it was just for money.
There was also a type of author who shouted the slogan "literature carries the truth". They wanted to write a masterpiece that would be immortalized. However, it was proven that very few could persist in a state where no one cared about their works. Speaking of which, if they did not get the recognition of the readers, could they really be considered "literature carries the truth"?
Using four words to describe it, it would be "self-entertainment". Using two words to describe it, it would be "self-exhilaration".
This type of author was usually very ambitious in the beginning. It was very shameful. Han Leng was this type of author in the past. He wanted to become a poet and essayist. He also wanted to write a masterpiece in the future!
However, in this era, poets had probably become storytellers, and essayists had also become a legendary profession. Everyone was usually so busy, who would want to read your ostentatious, tasteless prose?
Only a famous essayist like Yu Qiuyu could rely on his fame to sell his books. However, many people bought his books not to read his essays, but to show off in the bookshelf. Look, I read Yu Qiuyu's essays, isn't he awesome?
Then, he was despised by the literary youth. 'Yu Qiuyu is awesome my a * s. I'm reading some foreign author's prose, haven't I heard of him?' Hehe, if you've heard of it, then what's the point of acting cool?
After Han Leng finished writing "Conquering the World in Online Games", he realized that the purpose of writing novels was to satisfy his own fantasies and gain the favor of his readers.
It would be a happy thing to be able to be loved by the readers at the same time.
He was going to write his next youth novel serialized in Germinal.
After being baptized by the commercialization of online literature, he also abided by a certain bottom line in his heart. He hoped to write a novel that satisfied both himself and the readers.
That was the purpose of his novels.
Perhaps he regretted that he did not learn to play a musical instrument, but in the novel, he did, and he was a genius at playing the piano. Perhaps in reality, he could not allow himself to get close to Zhao Youyue, but in the novel, he could.
Thinking of this, the melancholy and depression in his heart disappeared. He never thought that he would be so eager to write his new novel.
Just like that, he stood there quietly, listened to a song that he instinctively felt was very nice, and then quietly left.
He said that he would not get close to Zhao Youyue, and he would not go back on his words.
When he returned to his dormitory, he took out his secret notebook and wrote down the title "Beautiful April".
Among the youth novels that were full of pain and sorrow, he decided to write a youth school comedy. At the same time, he did not forget to satirize the shortcomings of China's education system. Originally, he wanted to name this book "Triple Gate," which meant that there were three gates in elementary school, middle school, and high school. Why did the students have to endure the shackles of exam-oriented education in their best youth?
He actually wanted to write it, because you mortals are too stupid. Who asked you to have bad grades, and when you get into a relationship, your grades will drop? You can't even earn money and get into a relationship?
The genius scholar was like a fish in water in the exam-oriented education system, and at the same time, he could flirt with girls in the Triple Gate.
He was a genius and had earned a lot of royalties through his online novels. It was just that he did not want to please female classmates. If not, he could have started a harem in high school. He was confident in his EQ.
However, Han Leng would never write it like this, or he would be beaten to death by the ordinary student readers. This poisonous chicken soup was too poisonous!
He wrote that all of this was actually the fault of the system. The examination-oriented education stifled creativity. Without examination-oriented education, ordinary people like you would be able to rise in quality education. That was why China's education system was so bad!
He wanted to stand up and fight against it!
Han Leng only felt that if he catered to the thoughts of the student readers and said all these rebellious words, he might even become an idol author, charming thousands of students, regardless of gender, because he was a rebellious vanguard author who dared to speak the "truth"!
This was the experience he had gained from writing web novels. He knew what the readers wanted to see, so he would cleverly write these things through the mouth of the protagonist. As for his contempt for the group of ordinary student readers, he would never reveal it in the article.
What he really revealed in his article was only the beautiful and exquisite love, the pure love that countless students and readers would be intoxicated by.
It was great to have a first love in high school.
He had to admit that when he met Zhao Youyue, his mind was filled with Natsume Soseki's words — "The moon tonight is beautiful."
However, when he decided to write a violinist character in his new novel, it meant that he would use this novel to completely cut off his first love, which had ended before it had even begun.
Zhao Youyue? No matter how high your status is in reality, you are still just a material under my pen. I can write you however I want. I am the author, and the God of Creation!
Han Leng smiled scornfully. He would write the opposite of reality. He would make Zhao Youyue's original character fall in love with the protagonist, but could not get her!
This was definitely going to happen!
Of course, Zhao Youyue did not know that this weird and twisted author had "turned love into hate." She was currently in a very happy state, because she had taken first place in this monthly examination!
Since science subjects were easy, she got full marks for all of them. She even got full marks for English, which was very difficult. She could only say that the "language master" Yu Shengfan was amazing. Only her language had been deducted more than ten marks. It could not be helped. Language reading comprehension and composition had always been dependent on God's will
However, this time, her language had been deducted more than ten marks. Of course, she had surpassed Huang Zongchao, who had lost more than twenty marks for both English and language.
Even if Huang Zongchao also got full marks for science subjects, he would not be able to turn the tables!
Of course, the results of this monthly examination had made Zhao Youyue famous!
No one had ever snatched Huang Zongchao's throne before …
