Chapter 584
After using mobile phones and discovering tomatoes, the Confucian cultivators were like discovering a new world.
As literati, they naturally disdained the novels above. In their opinion, these novels could not be regarded as articles, but dregs and garbage.
Cheng Dong also thought so. As a Confucian genius who had been enlightened by the talent of Wenquxing, he could write poems at the age of one, articles at the age of three, obtained a degree at the age of five, and left his name in the Confucian Temple at the age of 10, becoming the youngest scholar to enter the sea of books.
After ascending to the immortal world, he was allowed to enter the Immortal Lord's Mansion and accept the talent of Wenqu Immortal Lord. Because of this, he was also one of the first Confucian cultivators to come into contact with mobile phones.
He shook his head as he watched, his face full of disgust.
"It turns out that people in the outside world have been reading such articles. There are actually tens of billions of people reading such articles."
"If I write my own articles, wouldn't there be more people reading them?"
"Let me give the outside literary world a little shock, maybe I can enter the realm of the Golden Fan Palace one day."
After that, he registered an author account for himself, and then published his famous work according to the book publishing process.
His famous work only has 30,000 words, but in his opinion, every word is a pearl, and every paragraph contains the truth, so he is very confident.
After successfully uploading the book and signing the contract, he quietly waited for his book to be discovered.
However, half an hour later, there was no movement in the background, and it was still the same after an hour.
"Strange? Why is there no one commenting on my book?"
At this moment, he suddenly saw a red dot on the backstage comments.
"Great, someone finally commented on me! Let me see how this person praises my book."
After that, he clicked on the red dot, but when he saw the content of the comment, he was not feeling well.
"What kind of thing is this? It's just shit. I'll give you a five-star review and send it to you in five installments."
"This...this...is insulting, it's really insulting!" Cheng Dong was so angry that he was shaking.
"I don't believe that no one appreciates my article!"
He continued to wait, and after a while he received the second comment.
"Author, you write very well, but I think you should stop writing. What you should do now is to practice well."
Then there was the third comment, the fourth comment, the fifth comment...
"The book is well written. Because I don't want others to find such a good book, I decided to report you and take it off the shelves. You're welcome. This is what I should do."
"No, I read novels to relieve stress. Your book, author, makes me feel very stressed. I'll give you a one-star review so that you can learn a lesson."
"I am a dog demon. Your book makes me very excited. It perfectly solves the problem of not being able to eat shit on mobile phones."
......
All the comments were scolding, and Cheng Dong was a little skeptical about his life.
"How could this happen? Are they saying that the article I wrote is not good?"
"No, it is absolutely impossible that the book I wrote is not good, but they have no taste, that must be the case."
"I will upload another book of mine, I don't believe it will be the same."
After that, he uploaded another article he had written before, but the result was still the same.
Looking at the unanimous negative reviews, he began to doubt his life.
"Forget it, I won't write anymore. Those people outside don't understand what an article is!"
In anger, he was about to throw his phone away. Just at this moment, Wenqu Xianjun, who was holding a phone, passed by and saw him like this.
"Cheng Dong, why are you so impatient?"
Hearing Wenqu Xianjun's words, Cheng Dong first stood up and saluted, and then explained his situation.
"Oh? Why do you think so?" Wenqu Xianjun said with a smile.
"The readers above can't understand my article at all."
"Then have you ever thought about a question, who is the article written for?"
"This..." Cheng Dong's eyes were confused.
"Articles are written for the world to read. If you can only appreciate it yourself, what kind of article is it? Isn't the purpose of an article to convey your thoughts to others? Why do you have to stick to the genre of the article?"
"Good literary works should be accepted by more people, liked by more people, bring value to others, and serve the vast number of creatures in the world."
"If you can't change the readers of the world, then you can only change yourself. If you can write an excellent novel that becomes a golden fan and a palace, then you are qualified to let readers accommodate you."
After listening to the guidance of Wenqu Xianjun, Cheng Dong suddenly felt a sense of enlightenment.
"Xianjun, I understand, but how can I write a novel as fascinating as other novels?"
"It's very simple, two words-sweep the list and see how others write."
"I understand." Cheng Dong nodded, and at this moment he accidentally saw the screen of Wenqu Xianjun's mobile phone.
On the screen, a graceful woman was twisting her waist.
"Immortal Lord? Why are you watching something so disrespectful!"
"What do you mean by disrespectful?" Wenqu Immortal Lord said seriously. "If your heart is not right, everything you see will be distorted. You should know that understanding the world is knowledge, and understanding human nature is writing. This video is full of knowledge."
He clicked a like and then sighed: "With this Douyin, a scholar can know everything in the world without leaving home."
"Okay, you study it yourself. This immortal will go to prepare for the bookstore. Write novels well and earn immortal stones. Only in the future can I have immortal stones to publish my own books."
After saying this, Wenqu Immortal floated away, and Cheng Dong began to scan the list seriously.
"Wait, isn't it just a novel? After I become famous for writing novels, I will continue to write my previous articles. I don't believe that I, a Confucian cultivator, can't write better than you ordinary people!"
The same thing happened to other immortals in Wenqu Immortal Mansion.
Being beaten by readers, they deeply realized that if they want their books to be popular, they can't write what they want to write, but write what readers like to read. Anyway, writing novels can also gain talent and fame, and they have the same goal.
When they make money from writing novels, they will publish physical books for themselves and put them on the shelves of Xinghua Bookstore.
When they really started writing online novels, they soon tasted the sweetness. Even though their stories were very old-fashioned, they still earned more talent than they had earned from writing articles before.
The most important point is that they finally don't have to be scolded, but will receive good reviews from readers. After all, although their stories are poor, their writing style and word choice are top-notch.
In an instant, Wenqu Xianfu also set off a wave of national creation, and a large number of Confucian cultivators joined the ranks of Tomato to prove the truth.
However, not all Confucian cultivators are suitable for Tomato. For example, those Confucian cultivators who are good at painting and calligraphy, seeing that group of scholars have gained a lot of talent on Tomato, they are anxious to stamp their feet.
Even if they show their paintings on Douyin, they can't get much traffic.
At the same time, Yaoyue Xianjun was also reporting to Lin Ye about his idea of creating a paper man love game.
