Chapter 50 In five thousand years, who are your three favorite characters?
"Hello Qi Yuan."
"Hello."
"I think the environment in this office is pretty good. Do you spend a lot of time here?"
"Haha, the layout is what my wife thinks about. If I don't record the program or film, I often come to the company. But if I have to count it, it may be only 20 days for a year to stay in the company."
"At present, the sales of "Sui and Tang" have exceeded 200 million copies one month after it was launched. The cumulative sales of the entire 5,000-year series have exceeded 700 million copies. Have you ever thought of this terrifying sales data before?"
"To be honest, I am very satisfied with "Sui and Tang Dynasties."
"Can see."
"But I didn't expect this sales. 200 million copies per month, which is almost one-seventh of our population!"
"It means that your book is really very popular in our country. Let's talk about five thousand years. What was your original idea for this book?"
"I should have said this question before, I just want to use a pen to complete the five thousand years of blood and tears of a nation."
"Well, we can see that the nation you wrote has traveled through the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period since the Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties, the rituals and music Spring and Autumn Period, and after hundreds of years of turmoil in the Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties for hundreds of years, now finally ushered in the prosperous Tang Dynasty. Many readers of this nation's direction in your writing are actually a little confused, especially the previous book."
"In this case, the plot has always been in my mind. As for many things that have been criticized by everyone, I think it is a thousand people and faces. For example, during the Jin Dynasty and the Southern and Northern Dynasties, I often see many readers complaining on my Weibo. It is said that the plot is too depressing and I can't watch it anymore."
"Haha, so what are your ideas? Or why do you think of such a plot? In recent years, our country's online literature has developed very quickly, and your work "Cross the Sky" has played a large part of it. When you were writing "Five Thousand Years", did you refer to the writing of online novels? Use suppressed plots to lay the final climax?"
"Are you saying that "Sui and Tang Dynasties" the climax of the plot?"
“Isn’t it?”
"But the plot of the middle and late Tang Dynasty is also quite miserable!"
"Well, can you tell me some of the things you want to express? I think this is something that many readers want to understand."
"I wrote at the beginning of the Three Kingdoms that the general trend of the world is that long-term separation will lead to unity and long-term separation will lead to division. Although the turmoil of the Jin Dynasty and the Southern and Northern Dynasties tortured this nation for hundreds of years, it did not wash away the core of the people's bones and blood."
"What is this thing?"
"The Chinese nation can live and pass on from generation to generation in the long river of history because they have this kind of perseverance and noble quality."
"Indeed, many of our readers are now fans of this nation! This nation is so cute! Although there will be war and division, there will be endless things in their bones and blood. This may be one of the reasons why everyone likes this book very much."
"The next question is what many of our readers want to ask. You have written many characters in the past five thousand years, from various schools of thought, the Seven Heroes of the Warring States Period, to the Qin Emperor and Han Wu, to the latest "Sui and Tang Dynasties". It can be said that every character is flesh and blood and has its own characteristics. So among these characters, which character is your favorite?"
"All of them are characters in my works, and I love them all very much."
"No, you have to choose one."
“It’s too difficult to choose one.”
"Those three."
"Well, if you are the first one, I will choose Zhuge Liang."
"Zhuge Liang, who devoted himself to his life until his death?"
"Well, this character is my most beautiful and perfect imagination of ancient ministers."
"What about the second one."
"Second, I'll choose Li Bai."
"I also like Li Bai very much. His poems are so fairy! Haha, can I understand that you are praising yourself? After all, these poems are actually written by you."
"Many times, the characters I write are actually alive in my heart. Many of their actions and works, I feel that I am just an author."
"Haha, can I think you are saying that you are writing an article yourself as if God helps? Then... what about the third one?"
"If the third character is, he hasn't actually appeared yet."
"That's right, our 5,000-year series has only been written for most of it. There are several dynasties behind it? At the end of the interview, I'll give you a preview of the time when the next work will be released?"
"Do you think it's the next one in the Five Thousand Years series?"
"Ah? The next one is not from the Five Thousand Years series?"
"The next one is not."
"Can you reveal the title of the next book?"
"Journey to the West!"
...
...
This interview was published on the third day after the interview and met the audience.
"Shocked! Qi Yuan talks about the hardships of creating "Five Thousand Years"!"
"In the past five thousand years, Qi Yuan's three favorite people are Li Bai and Zhuge Liang. Who is the third one?"
"The three favorite people Qi Yuan wrote, one of them has not appeared yet!"
"Do you agree with Qi Yuan's explanation of the Chinese nation?"
"Qi Yuanxin's new book title is exposed, Journey to the West!"
The number of clicks in this interview by Qi Yuan can be said to have created records of the People and People's Daily.
In just half an hour, the number of clicks exceeded 10 million.
Everyone is now eager for every new news about "Sui and Tang Dynasties".
"Ahhhhh! I am indeed the one who understands Qi Yuan the best! I also love Li Bai and the Prime Minister!"
"On the upper floor, since you say you are the one who understands Qi Yuan the best, then tell everyone, who is the third person Qi Yuan loves the most?"
"Haha, just reading the contents of the book, I know that Qi Yuan loves Zhuge Liang and Li Bai the most. The descriptions in the book are like gods in their respective fields!"
"Journey to the West???What the hell?"
"Don't you take advantage of the popularity of "Sui and Tang Dynasties" for five thousand years? What kind of "Journey to the West" will be released? I'm really convinced!"
"Journey to the West?? Wait, is it the Journey to the West that is a big talk about? "
"What?"
"What? What are you talking about? Why is this connected with the American Journey again?"
"It must be! There are two words: Journey to the West!"
"Damn it! Some people don't read carefully, right? Look at the plot of Li Shimin of the Sui and Tang Dynasties, who is a monk?"
"Oh my God! I found it, it was Xuanzang!! Did Qi Yuan actually buried such a deep foreshadowing??"
Chapter completed!
