Chapter 336

"So now there's another problem!" Xu yuanxuan looked at the leaflet in his hand and asked, "what's light fiction?"

Yes! What is a light novel!

The advertisement on this leaflet is to recruit the king of light novels, and rule 1 is also the solicitation of light novels, but they have never heard of the name of light novels. What is this?

What kind of novel can be called light novel?

In the face of such a problem, Xu yuanxuan and naisu mushroom felt a little puzzled, but there was no clear explanation on the leaflet.

Xuyuanxuan discussed with naisu mushroom, and they decided to go to the library to check the materials. Perhaps they are ignorant and do not know what the definition of listening to novels is. There must be an explanation of light novels in the vast number of books in the library.

However, the two men searched all the materials about novels in the whole library, but they didn't even see a word of light novels, so they had to go home reluctantly.

As a result, as soon as Xu yuanxuan turned on the TV, he found that what was said on the TV actually happened to be the news of this essay solicitation.

Because of the unprecedented article solicitation reward of up to 30 million yen, the article solicitation reward of the electric shock library has instantly become a hot spot pursued by all news media.

Some media turned over the historical materials and finally determined that this is indeed the highest reward in history.

Many TV news media found Xia Zhiqiu Shiyu, the president of the electric shock library, to interview her and ask her if this big reward is true.

Xia Zhiqiu Shiyu repeatedly assured on TV that all the rules of this big reward are true, and the maximum bonus can indeed reach a real 30 million yen. There will never be any falsehood, otherwise she would like to go to jail or something.

Then the reporter asked her why, as a new library and publishing house, she was willing to spend so much money to hold such a big reward.

In this regard, Xia Zhiqiu Shiyu said that the chairman of the company is a person who likes reading novels very much on weekdays, but he feels that the current novels are too heavy. Many novels make people feel depressed and unable to express their personal feelings. There are few novels that can make people laugh.

At the same time, Fusang's novel industry is declining day by day, and the sales volume is declining year by year. Last year, the sales volume of Fusang's novels was 35 billion yen. However, the sales of comics and related comic magazines have reached an amazing 120 billion yen.

The total sales of comics have reached about 40 times that of novels, 35 billion yen, and even less than the sales of a rough snack for a few months.

This makes the chairman of the electric shock library feel ashamed, so he is determined to save the whole novel industry and make the sales of the novel industry reach the same level as that of comics.

So the chairman created the electric shock library, a publishing house, and creatively set up an unprecedented new type of light novels, hoping to use light novels to vigorously boost the sales of the novel industry, inject a fresh blood into the novel industry and make young people love reading novels again.

Hearing Xia Zhiqiu Shiyu's answer full of ridicule and shame, the reporter took notes and began to prepare to fire on newspapers and magazines. At the same time, he asked curiously who the chairman was.

"Our chairman is just an ordinary person who is interested and enthusiastic in the Fusang novel industry. You don't need to know the specific identity!" Xia Zhiqiu Shiyu said faintly.

Well, since we can't ask the identity of the chairman, the reporters can only ask the most critical question, that is, what is light fiction.

Although boss Jia clearly defined the characteristics of light novels when he set the definition of light novels for Xia Zhiqiu Shiyu, these are things that only editors can know, and telling readers will be bad, so Xia Zhiqiu Shiyu finally answered in this way.

"Light novels are not limited to any subject matter, nor are they limited to any category. They are all about the sky, the earth, the past, the future, the different world or the current world, legend or religion, truth or illusion. In a word, whatever comes to mind, can be written in the form of novels and can be easily read by all readers Novel! "

"Please remember, light novels must be novels that can make all readers read very relaxed, happy and have no obstacles, so they can be called light novels!"

"A novel that makes all readers easy to read and happy, so this is light novel!" after seeing this TV report, I couldn't find the definition of light novel, and finally understood what light novel is.

"The person who defines this light novel is really an interesting person!" Xu yuanxuan sighed. "I have a feeling that this light novel may not be elegant, but it will change the whole novel industry."

"However, I can make it easy for readers to read, but I'm afraid it's a little difficult to keep a happy mood!" Xu yuanxuan muttered, "it must be difficult for readers to read happily and happily, for an author like him who makes the supporting actor lose his head from time to time and the protagonist completely disappear!"

"As for the more specific definition of light novels, from next month, the first volume of six light novels will be listed in the electric shock library at the same time. At that time, there will be doubtful authors and viewers who can comment after seeing these light novels!"

After saying these words, Xia Zhiqiu Shiyu ended the interview, which quickly spread all over Fusang along with television, newspapers and other media.

Although most people may not be interested in this news, they are neither willing to read novels nor write novels. But it spread all over the novel industry at a very fast speed.

The top of the whole novel industry, especially those publishers and great writers, completely despise light novels.

"Do not pursue the experience of writing, the retro and elegant style of writing. Do not know how to use novels to reflect some of the current situation of society, do not analyze the deep emotions of characters in novels, and do not end up with tragic stories to make readers feel the shock from the whole world!"

"Just let readers read easily and happily. What's the difference between such novels and jokes, and between such novels and newspapers squatting in the toilet?"

"No, newspapers can still let readers know some national and social things, but this kind of novel has nothing. Before reading it, your head is empty. After reading it, your head is still empty. This is not a novel, this is toilet paper!"

"Finally, I say that novels that cannot shock and resonate with all readers in mind are rubbish and do not deserve to be called novels!" this is a famous novelist's comment after hearing about light novels. It also quickly appeared in various newspapers and television, and was constantly used by editors to attack and ridicule light novels.

As for other publishers, they look down on the electric shock library even more.

"We produce spiritual food for human beings, not toilet paper for buttocks!" said a publisher president proudly "Facts will prove that these light novels are toilet paper. They will not have any sales and will not be loved by readers. Our readers are people with culture, quality and noble aesthetic standards. They will never like this kind of junk!"

"Even if the recent performance of our novel industry is really bad, we absolutely don't need such people to save us!"

The large reward of about 30 million hit many publishers in the face, so publishers are very resistant to the electric shock library. The presidents or presidents of various publishers and some well-known writers have publicly made some disdainful remarks.

The media has always been afraid of big things. Seeing that the two sides quarrel, they will naturally choose to add fuel to it.

As the saying goes, the fire is high when people collect firewood. When everyone wants to make things big, this electric shock library solicited articles, which immediately spread all over Fusang, so that many ordinary people who didn't even read novels knew that there was such a thing called light novel, and were curious about how much toilet paper this thing actually had.

For those novelists at the bottom who are difficult to get enough food and clothing, they don't care whether they are elegant or not, whether their hearts are not, whether they are toilet paper or not.

After seeing the news, they were elated and decided to contribute to the electric shock library.

Anyway, just write 50000 words and an outline. If you don't win, it won't do any harm. If you win, you'll get at least 20000 yen a month. Maybe there's a lot of cash. How can there be such a good thing in the world!

But I still need to change my pseudonym. I can't use my commonly used pseudonym. In case the reputation of light novel is really bad, I won't damage my original pseudonym!
