Chapter 868: The Legend of Zhen Huan
"Rest in peace!"
"Your works will live forever in the hearts of readers!"
"Rest in peace, Mr. Lu Bing. May you not be alone in heaven!"
"Sad news. Mr. Lu Bing, one of my favorite writers, has left this world forever. Rest in peace."
The news of Mr. Lu Bing's death spread more and more. Whether it was public figures or ordinary readers, they all spontaneously mourned Mr. Lu Bing on Weibo, WeChat Moments, Tieba and other platforms. Ms. Lu Bing had been writing for decades. Almost everyone in Longguo had heard of or even read her works. When talking about romance, one cannot avoid talking about Lu Bing. The death of such a person attracted a lot of attention.
The Writers Association held a memorial service for this.
Many famous writers in Longguo attended the event, including Luoyang.
As Lu Bing's last disciple, Lu Yuer welcomed writers from all over the country with her daughter's gift. At the condolence meeting, Lin Yifeng, chairman of the Longguo Writers Association, delivered a long speech, which almost reviewed the major achievements Lu Bing had made in his life: "Eighteen years ago, Teacher Lu Bing created the famous "Peach Blossom Pavilion". "Peach Blossom Pavilion" caused a rush as soon as it was released. Its sales exceeded 100 million in a single month, achieving a phenomenal level and establishing its position as the originator of romance. In the following years, Teacher Lu Bing's four works "The Wind Still Remains", "Flowers Bloom Silently", "Snow Country" and "Moonlight" were respectively called the "Wind, Flowers, Snow and Moon" series, which became the phenomenal works of the year. She is also a writer in our Longguo who has five phenomenal masterpieces..." Lin Yifeng's summary illustrates a fact. When she was young, Lu Bing could be called the protagonist of an era! Since writing "Taohuage", every work of Lu Bing has been very popular. Among them, the "Wind, Flowers, Snow and Moon" series has achieved phenomenal results. Luoyang is even more popular than Luoyang at this time, because Luoyang has only four phenomenal works so far.
"Now, she has left us forever."
"But her works, after many revisions, will still be sold in bookstores across the country!"
"Her personal spirit and persistence in writing are enough to survive in our hearts, so that we always remember and feel."
Lin Yifeng's speech ended here. At the end of the condolence meeting, all the major writers bowed to Lu Bing's portrait in turn, and then left in order. Luoyang also bowed in order. When leaving the condolence meeting, Luoyang couldn't help but wonder, what will happen after his death?
Shaking his head, Luoyang laughed at his own thoughts.
Lu Yuer said: "Master has been very low-key throughout his life, but I didn't expect that his death would cause a national sensation."
At this time, Lu Yuer's eyes were a little lonely. The news broadcast last night reported the news of Lu Bing's death. The host used words such as "heartbreaking" and "very regretful" to describe the impact of Lu Bing's death on Longguo, which can be regarded as a kind of official commemoration of Lu Bing's death.
Luoyang comforted: "Everything will pass, you have to cheer up quickly."
Lu Yuer smiled bitterly and said: "You must not know how many times I want to throw myself into your arms and cry, but you have a girlfriend, and it seems that the relationship is pretty good. In this case, I am destined to silently thank you for your support. Now I am not so uncomfortable, because compared to being sad, I have more important things to accomplish."
"Let romance enter the selection of classics of the times?"
"Yes, this is the master's last wish, and I want to complete it for her this year."
Luoyang said: "The standard that Lin Yifeng told me is ten phenomenal works. Do you want to do it today? To complete it in one year means that you need to write two phenomenal works in one year. Not to mention whether you have the energy to write two books, even if you can, you can't guarantee the quality, right? "
Lu Yuer said stubbornly: "Then I want to try it too."
After a slight silence, Luoyang smiled and said: "It just so happens that my new book is also a romance, let's have another derby."
Lu Yuer suddenly raised her head and stared at Luoyang, as if she wanted to see something from Luoyang's expression, but Luoyang kept smiling and said: "You know, whether it's "First Intimate Contact", "The Girl We Chased Together in Those Years", or "With the Air Hostess" "The Days of Living Together", all of these works are romances with the label of pure love. After I finished writing "The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber", I was basically out of work, so it was just the right time to write a romance novel. "
"I don't doubt your ability to write this kind of work..."
"That's it, are you afraid of losing to me in the field you are best at?"
"Luoyang, don't use provocation, I know you are trying to help me, anyway, thank you, no matter how your new book performs."
Speaking of this, Lu Yuer could no longer say anything extra. After taking a deep breath, her emotions calmed down: "One time when I was bored, I flipped through Your Weibo, I remember you said on Weibo that "The Days of Living with a Stewardess" is your last work of pure love."
"So, although the new book is a romance, it is no longer a pure love type."
"So it is not a pure love type romance novel, then what kind of work do you want to write?"
Although Lu Yuer knew that Luoyang was powerful and could cross multiple genres, and could be called the author with the widest range of acting in history, she was still not optimistic about Luoyang's desire to write a phenomenal romance work, because she herself was a top expert in this type of work, so she knew the difficulty better than anyone else-
Romance, it is not difficult to achieve results.
But if you want to be popular and achieve a phenomenal level, you have very high requirements for quality.
Lu Bing has been writing romance novels for decades, but only the [Wind, Flowers, Snow and Moon] series and "Peach Blossom Pavilion" have become phenomenal. Although other works are also popular, they can only be regarded as best-sellers. This shows that romance works are typically easy to get started but difficult to master. Lu Yuer has a deep understanding of this.
"I want to write ancient romance."
Romance is divided into modern romance and ancient romance, and there are still slight differences in the audiences of the two.
Luoyang knew that all of Lu Yuer's works were modern romance, and he could avoid clashing with Lu Yuer to the greatest extent by writing ancient romance.
Lu Yuer thought for a while and said, "The market for ancient romance is not small, but they are all fantasy and magic, such as Master's "Peach Blossom Pavilion"..."
"There is no need for any fantasy color, do you remember that I wrote a book called "Nirvana in Fire"? This is a court power-struggle work disguised as ancient romance, with a bit of the flavor of a serious drama. This time I want to write a real ancient romance harem work, and make the dynasty background empty. I have thought of the name, it is called "The Legend of Zhen Huan"."
