Chapter 771 Luo's Martial Arts Ranking
Returning to the company in the afternoon, Xiang Tao approached Luoyang again.
He was doing it for work: "Boss, all your martial arts novels have been put on China.com. In the future, readers who are not in the habit of buying physical books can directly subscribe to your martial arts novels on China.com."
Luoyang nodded, "Have you put it up yet? How are the results?"
This is a suggestion that Xiang Tao made before. The first month when physical books are sold on the shelves is the most ferocious time, and sales will naturally decline after one month. At this time, Luoyang's martial arts novels will be put online to provide Reading in the form of e-books is more helpful for promoting novels.
Xiang Tao smiled and said: "The number of subscribers is still quite large, but it is definitely incomparable to your online articles, boss."
Luoyang nodded. This was something he expected, because most of the audience of Huaxia.com are students in the second grade of middle school. These students obviously prefer those passionate and lively fantasy works, and are not interested in physical works such as martial arts. big.
However, it can always increase the popularity of the novel.
When Luoyang was writing "Infinite", the first world the protagonist entered was "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", which also helped many online readers to read The Condor Heroes.
Now the protagonist is in the world of "The Legend of Condor Heroes", and many readers have gone to read "Condor Heroes". The online article "Infinite" has a subtle influence, which can make some readers who are not interested in martial arts originally If you look at Luoyang's martial arts works on the Huaxia website, this can be considered a success.
"In addition, the website held an event."
"What kind of activity is it about my martial arts works?"
Xiang Tao nodded: "This is the idea of one of my editors. It is to do a ranking vote for all the boss's martial arts works. Now there are many people participating. Some people who don't read online articles have registered Huaxia.com accounts. Vote for your favorite works.”
"How is the ranking?"
"Haha, can't the boss guess it?"
"Then let me guess, the first place is probably "The Legend of the Condor Heroes". The TV series adapted from this novel was a great success, and the ratings bonus is too great. The second place is probably "The Passionate Swordsman", Xiao Li Fei The charm of the knife cannot be overstated..."
Xiang Tao clicked his tongue and said, "It's a pity that both bosses guessed wrong."
Luoyang was stunned: "Isn't he number one in shooting the eagle, and isn't Xiao Li the number two in flying knives?"
Xiang Tao shook his head: "The Condor Shooting is not the first, but the second. The Divine Condor is even worse. It didn't even make the top three. In the end, the third place was Luo Damizhi's "Sentimental Swordsman's Ruthless Sword"."
"You're not lying to me, I'd better see for myself."
Luoyang opened Huaxia.com and saw the activities of [Luo Family Martial Arts Bai Xiaosheng] at first glance.
Xiang Tao knows how to play, and the name of the event appropriately borrows the creativity of Bai Xiaosheng from the martial arts scene in Xiao Li Fei Dao. It is also ranked, and the level of competition is obviously a higher level.
After clicking into the event, Luoyang was surprised to find that "Legend of the Condor Heroes" was indeed ranked second, followed by "The Passionate Swordsman" in third place, "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" in fourth place, and "Peerless Double" in fifth place. "Pride", the sixth "Legend of Lu Xiaofeng"...
As for the first place, it is "The Legend of Chu Liuxiang"!
Luoyang couldn't help but comment: "I don't think these rankings are actually impressive."
Not to mention who should be ranked first, Gu Long or Jin Yong, it is unscientific to simply rank "The Passionate Swordsman" below "The Legend of Chu Liuxiang".
Because in a sense, "The Passionate Swordsman" is not only a martial arts novel, but also a literary explanation of the true meaning of martial arts. It is also a work of human love that describes the harsh conditions of the world and has a high style. , it is also a cautionary volume that explores the truth of life and touches on social reality.
This novel goes beyond the traditional creation mode of martial arts novels and provides many artistic inspirations.
Gu Long successfully used the new writing method of describing scenes, emotions, and mentality, while also taking into account the interlocking and confusing plot arrangements of traditional Chinese novels; some real writing, some imaginary writing; some heavy descriptions, and some light brushes; There are aphorisms and splendid dialogues; there is an exploration of the inner world, and there is a clever rendering of the atmosphere; there is tension and relaxation, there is emotion and flavor; there are twists and turns, and there is survival from desperate situations; there is sadness and humor; there is excitement and imagination. ; The narrative is endless but not confusing, the suspense is piled up but reasonable; it is touching and makes people cry, and it is impossible to put it down but has endless aftertaste.
After "The Sentimental Swordsman", Gu Long created a series of martial arts novels. Although he continued to seek innovation, changes and breakthroughs, none of his works could surpass this work in terms of ideological depth and artistic perfection. , therefore, it can be said without any guilt that "Sentimental Swordsman" represents the highest achievement of Gu Long's novels.
Even in the other world, there is public opinion.
Xiang Tao spread his hands: "There is no way, who made "The Passionate Swordsman" and "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" suspect of cuckoldry?"
Luoyang couldn't help but smile when he heard this. Through Xiang Tao's words, he quickly understood the reason. You must know that most of the voters in this ranking are Huaxia.com users who like Internet articles, and Internet article readers are the world's largest. There are a group of people who can’t stand cuckolding plots the most. Under such circumstances, "The Passionate Swordsman" can still be ranked third, which is already quite impressive. As for "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", which is ranked fourth, the original work is actually It is full of sadistic plots, so it is normal for many online readers not to be interested in it.
We can look forward to the effect of the TV series.
Presumably, after the TV series is aired, the ranking of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" will rise.
"In comparison, works like "The Legend of Chu Liuxiang" are the most in line with the aesthetic taste of online readers. The male protagonist is handsome, smart and powerful, and has all the advantages that a man should have. The degree of YY is not inferior to that of online novels, and the plot setting is also first-class, highlighting the protagonist's halo very clearly, and there is almost no heart-wrenching part!"
Thinking of this, Luoyang was relieved.
The winner in the end was "The Legend of Chu Liuxiang", which seemed to have the most YY and refreshing plot. This book is very in line with the aesthetic taste of online readers. In comparison, the "Sending Girl" in "Little Li Flying Dagger" and the "Dragon Girl" in "The Condor Heroes" were plots that many online readers could not accept.
Turn off the computer, Luoyang no longer cares about this event.
The purpose of Xiang Tao's holding this event is to attract traffic and drive the enthusiasm of readers, and he did not intend to make a very authoritative ranking.
But what Luoyang and Xiang Tao did not expect was that this "Luo's Martial Arts Encyclopedia" ranked by Huaxia.com book fans was actually forwarded to major martial arts forums, causing dissatisfaction among countless martial arts fans!
"Chu Liuxiang is ranked first?"
"This novel is inseparable from Lu Xiaofeng, right?"
"My great Condor Heroes was ranked fourth, how can I tolerate this!?"
"I don't accept that The Legend of the Condor Heroes is not ranked first. The greatest heroes serve the country and the people. Who can compare with this?"
"I think The Sentimental Swordsman can be ranked first. Even the martial arts master Wang Tianquan said that this work can be called a masterpiece of art and is more than enough to win the Times Classic Award."
"Speaking of the Times Classic Award-winning works, isn't Seven Weapons ranked too low?"
Many senior martial arts fans complained that the ranking of Luoyang martial arts works by Huaxia.com readers was very unprofessional!
In order to appease the emotions of these martial arts fans, the Xiami Tribe followed the public opinion and also held a [Luo's Martial Arts Ranking] that night. All Xiami Tribe users can vote--
It seems that this time they are going to play with authority!
