After Zhao Youyue searched for information about the author "Ya Jing" on the internet, she was amazed by Lin Shiya's talent. If Han Leng could be considered as one of the most talented authors among high school students, then Lin Shiya could definitely be considered as one of the most talented authors among university students. She was even the pride of Zhang Wanjun's famous university. Some busybodies even called her the campus belle.
But it was a pity that this school belle was already taken, but no one knew who her boyfriend was, because her boyfriend was too low-key.
Perhaps it was because of her boyfriend's influence, other than a few book-signing events, she did not participate in any other promotional activities. She also rarely accepted interviews. She gave the readers the impression that she was the kind of author who focused on writing books, and did not care about fame and fortune. This, in turn, made her books sell even more.
Readers believed that her works had a purity that other authors did not possess. As her teacher in university was also a big shot in the traditional literary world, she was easily recognized by the traditional literary world. That was why it was so easy for her books to win awards.
The notebook in Zhao Youyue's hand was undoubtedly "Ya Jing's" new work. What kind of "POV writing" would this novel be?
If this novel was outstanding, would it be worth it for her to use the "Two Dimensional Gate" to transmigrate into it?
After all, this work of "Ya Jing's" had not yet been published, but many of her fans were already looking forward to it. It could be predicted that as long as the quality of her work was maintained, its popularity would not be bad. Moreover, with her connections in the literary world, she might even win a prestigious literary award while selling well. In this way, the probability of it becoming a classic would greatly increase.
Zhao Youyue felt that she should first look at the genre of the novel. Soon, she saw the name of the novel — "Bakuman."
This stunned Zhao Youyue. If she remembered correctly, "Bakuman" should be a manga in another world. It was also known as "King of Manga." It was a shonen manga full of positive energy. What was rare was that it had popularized the entire manga industry, mainly using "Shōnen Jump" as a stage. Many of the mangaka and editors in the manga were based on real life models.
Could it be that this novel was the novel version of the manga "Bakuman"?
Lin Shiya was the legendary plagiarist protagonist?
Zhao Youyue continued reading. She realized that this "Bakuman" novel by "Ya Jing" had nothing to do with the "Bakuman" manga in the other world. However, it was written in a world where writers were the main characters. It also provided a scientific explanation of the traditional writer industry in this world.
Becoming a professional writer, or a traditional writer, was undoubtedly not an easy task. In this era of online literature, how many writers could persist in their initial literary dreams?
This "Bakuman" novel was undoubtedly a cry for those traditional writers who persisted in their literary dreams. Presumably, those readers who also had a literary dream would feel a strong resonance!
Because of such a literary dream, one could become such a "Bakuman". However, becoming a professional writer was also a gamble. Once a traditional writer chose to self-publish, they would often lose all their savings …
Zhao Youyue found this extremely interesting. The manga "Bakuman" in the other world provided scientific explanation of the manga industry. The protagonist's dream was to become a super popular mangaka and marry a beautiful VA. In this world, "Bakuman" written by "Ya Jing" provided scientific explanation of the literary world. It seemed that it would involve online literature in the future. There might even be a battle between traditional literature and online literature
There were all kinds of creators in the novel. Just like in real life, some casually wrote and their works would skyrocket. There were also those who persisted in writing for decades, doing odd jobs to make a living. However, the cruel thing was, even if they persisted for a lifetime, they would not be able to write anything.
Although "Ya Jing's" "Bakuman" did not have a protagonist, it obviously had a main character. From the beginning, it started from the perspective of a small literary magazine's editor. It directly and deeply described the state of traditional literature in this world. Without a doubt, it was gradually withering.
In this era where entertainment was becoming more and more diverse, high-end literature seemed to be too superficial and ungrounded. The sales of traditional literature magazines were getting worse and worse. One by one, they closed down. The remaining ones were struggling at death's door and even needed subsidies from the country …
However, this young editor still had a literary dream in his heart. He hoped to unearth a true genius writer, and guide him onto the right path. Then, he would create an immortal classic, and win the world's two highest literary awards – the Eastern Literature Award and the Saint Laurent Literature Award.
From the name, it could be seen that the Eastern Literature Award was the highest literary award within the sphere of influence of China, which was one of the two poles. The Saint Laurent Literature Award was naturally the highest literary award within the sphere of influence of Europe and America. Unfortunately, this world no longer had the famous Nobel Prize.
Up until now, only three great writers had been able to win the Eastern Literature Award and the Saint Laurent Literature Award at the same time, and they were all no longer in this world. It could not be helped. The bipolar structure of the world caused everyone to play by themselves. Why should the Eastern Literature Award be awarded to a foreign writer? The judges of the Saint Laurent Literature Award also thought so …
In another world, China was once very obsessed with the Nobel Prize. It was because its cultural influence was not enough. There was no award comparable to the Nobel Prize in China. In this world, China was the hegemon of the East. Even Australia belonged to it. Naturally, its cultural influence was considerable. It had its own prestigious awards in the world. Of course, it did not care about the awards within the sphere of influence of the West.
Even though the bipolar structure of this world was not the kind of intense confrontation, the competition was still very fierce, especially in terms of culture. In the game "Civilization", everyone's military strength was about the same, and they each had a nuclear bomb as a deterrent. If a war really broke out, then Earth would be finished. Therefore, they could only pursue a victory in culture and space.
This novel "Bakuman" was obviously set against the background of the current literary world. Many Chinese and Western writers were the characters. It wanted to write a great collision between cultures. The writing philosophy of each writer, the development of the times, and so on. The structure was very grand!
This concept was on a completely different level from the other world's "Bakuman" or "King of Popular Comics" …
