Chapter 290 The Great Three-Year Agreement Theory "A long chapter-style harem novel? What is this?" The Qingqiu foxes frowned, feeling very conflicted. They didn't quite believe that it was possible to write a good erotic novel without any detailed descriptions or explicit physical contact. Xu Gu did not speak directly, but said in a roundabout way: "First, let's talk about the long story. "I read the article you wrote, and I can say that..." Before Xu Gu finished speaking, a group of veteran foxes rushed forward, excited and expectant: "How is it? Pretty good, right?" "You must have learned a lot, right?" "Then do you want to give us a raise?" "..."

Xu Gu: “…” "That's really great." Xu Gu smiled knowingly and praised, "A salary increase is also possible." "Great!" "Long live!" "Master Xu Shan is wise!" All the Qingqiu foxes were extremely excited and delighted. Is there anything more worth celebrating than a pay raise and recognition for your work? "Stop!" Xu Gu felt a headache and hurriedly stopped him, saying, "You are off topic! We can talk about the salary increase later." As he spoke, he was afraid that the group of foxes would interrupt him again, so he said directly: "I have read your works. Although they are well written and the descriptions are wonderful, they can be rated as works of art. "It's a pity it's too short." "Too short?" The leading Qingqiu Fox was surprised and said in astonishment: "No way? Our work is already long enough!" "That's right! Our works have always been the longest in the industry!" "Each article has a full 8,000 words!" "Also, you can't keep writing too long. If you write too long, it will seriously reduce the reader's enjoyment!" Other Qingqiu foxes began to respond and expressed their own opinions. "Stop." Xu Gu felt a headache again. These foxes were arguing at the same time. It was so noisy, as if they were at a big fair! At one point he wanted to drive all the foxes out and leave only the big leader, the fox. But considering that these foxes are all excellent writers and I was teaching them rather than holding a meeting, I finally resisted the urge. However, when Xu Gu heard a fox say that an article had 8,000 words, he almost couldn't hold it in and laughed out loud.

"Eight thousand words? Is that just to please a beggar?" Xu Gu said, "I'll give you a number, and you should write towards this goal from now on." "How many?" The foxes pricked up their ears, looking curious. I also want to know how long the novel that Xu Gu mentioned can be! "An article of eight million words." Xu Gu said calmly. "Eight million words? Not eight hundred? Not eighty thousand? But eight million?" After hearing this, the foxes looked at Xu Gu as if he were a fool. If each article had 18,000 words, they might be able to accept it. It would just be a matter of adding some more poses to each article. But eight million words, even if they were killed, they couldn't write it. Besides, no reader can read for so long! According to their experience, most readers should be able to understand the book after reading a few thousand words. Then, you will no longer be interested in watching it for a short period of time. "No, no, no." Xu Gu laughed and said, "You guys, your vision is too narrow. Forget about eight million words. If you write well, even eighty million words will do!" Writers and readers are all practitioners, who isn’t a few hundred years old? In the previous life on Earth, readers and writers could only live for a few dozen or a hundred years, but there were countless books with millions of words, and there were also a large number of books with tens of millions of words. If you don't write thousands or even hundreds of millions of words, would you be worthy of your status as a practitioner? "Ah? Another 80 million words?" The foxes just thought Xu Gu was crazy. As expected, it is inevitable that one will go crazy when cultivating immortals. Especially since the mountain master in front of him is a demon cultivator, the probability of him going crazy is even higher. Xu Gu: “…” Next time when you look at me like I'm an idiot, could you please restrain yourself a little? Do you really think I'm a demon and easy to talk to? Xu Gu said: "I can understand that you have doubts about this word count. “That’s what I’m going to say next. "The current market environment no longer allows for the kind of erotic, erotic novels you wrote before." "This is true." “Some of the booksellers I worked with were shut down.” “Although, with your guidance, Master Xu Shan, we have added a lot of illustrations of interesting clothes to the manuscripts we wrote recently, which has enhanced the sense of freshness, the quality is amazing, and it has received rave reviews. "But because of the imperial court's ban, sales have dropped instead of increased." The foxes all agreed and nodded repeatedly, complaining to Xu Gu. I hope the omnipotent mountain master can help them! If the imperial court continues to ban them, they will really be out of work! How will they support themselves then? Xu Gu said: "Since the court has banned it, then we won't write it."

"what?" The foxes were stunned and very surprised. Do you want to listen to what you are saying? You won't do it if the imperial court forbids it? Are you still a devil? Shouldn't the more the imperial court forbids it, the more you should do it? The bigger the wind and waves, the more expensive the fish will be! "What are you looking at?" Xu Gu said, "I am a magic cultivator, not someone who shows off his intelligence. Righteousness is flourishing and the country is strong. You are going against the imperial court? Aren't you mentally ill?" What's more, it was I who proposed this ban from the imperial court. Am I against myself? Xu Gu said directly: "That's why I want to tell you how to write a soft and erotic novel that has no details, won't be banned, but can be a big hit." "Master Xu, what do you say?" Said the leading fox. Xu Gu said: "Colors are attractive and everyone loves to look at them. “But if you want to write about colors, you can’t just write about colors. “You need to write about emotions, growth, and life.” "hiss!" The foxes were stunned and gasped. The mountain master is indeed crazy. We actually want to discuss philosophy in a pornographic novel. What kind of sublimation is this? Afterwards, they all looked at him as if he was an idiot again, and some even laughed at him mercilessly. "???" Xu Gu stared and said faintly: "Do you believe that I can peel off your skin and make it into a carpet?" "Swish!" In an instant, all the foxes became obedient, sat up straight, opened their eyes wide, and looked at Xu Gu intently. "You have to change your mindset and not just think about writing about colors. At least the main framework cannot be colors." Xu Gu continued: "Let me give you a simple example. You can write a story whose main framework is the growth of a young boy." The leading Qingqiu Fox hesitated for a moment, shook his head and said, "No one likes to watch a story about a boy growing up, it's too boring because everyone has to go through this so-called growth. “The various vernacular novels on the market are either grand enough or curious and suspenseful enough. "Not to mention, we are writing erotic novels. This kind of subject matter is impossible to work. No one likes to read it." She was already disappointed with Xu Gu. Although Xu and Gu have amazing wisdom in other aspects, they are experts in writing erotic novels, while Xu Gu is just a layman. Amateurs guiding experts? Ridiculous. If Xu Gu had not taken them in, given them well-paid jobs, and was not a big devil who killed people without blinking an eye and ate people without leaving any bones, they would probably not have stayed here to listen to Xu Gu's nonsense and wasted their time. "Just listen." Xu Gu interrupted him and said, "This young man lived in a small town. He was originally a genius, but one day he suddenly lost his cultivation and could no longer advance. “From then on, I became a waste.

"At this time, his fiancée, who was an earth spirit root, asked him to break off the engagement, making him a laughing stock. The whole family mocked him, and some uncles even joined forces with other elders to deprive him of his position as young master. “My life hit rock bottom. "At this moment, the boy unexpectedly discovered that the reason why he became a loser was not because of his physical problems, but because he accidentally got a treasure before! This treasure awakened and took away his magic power. "Now that this treasure has awakened, it will make him soar to the sky!" As he spoke, Xu Gu looked at the foxes who were listening intently, all immersed in the story, and were very angry. He looked forward to the boy's counterattack and said, "Do you still feel that no one wants to watch a person grow up?" The foxes came out of their emotions and were immediately amazed. He looked at Xu Gu in great shock. They had always thought that Xu Gu was an amateur, but now it seems that they were totally wrong! This is simply everyone! In just a few words, he described an extremely wonderful story, making the extremely boring growth story that no one likes interesting, and making them all look forward to the next part! "I was wrong before. Compared with Master Xu's amazing wisdom, I am extremely stupid." The leading fox spoke in shock and admiration. She had a vague understanding. It seemed as if he had guessed what Xu Gu really wanted to express. I feel that this is an idea that will subvert the entire erotic fiction industry! Xu Gu didn't care and continued, "When the protagonist is bullied, the readers will empathize with the protagonist and will instinctively want to retaliate! “So, this opening story can be written like this. “The boy was humiliated by his fiancée who broke off the engagement, but he couldn’t beat his fiancée who had earth spirit roots, so he couldn’t retaliate directly. “Let’s make a three-year agreement. "The following chapters are about the boy's many adventures, hardships, and setbacks, and he eventually grows to the point where he can fulfill the three-year agreement and finally complete his revenge. "During this period, there are also constant little 'bullying and revenge' plots. “In order to prevent the process of the young man completing this three-year agreement from being too boring and no reader would like to read it. “For example, if there are disciples in the family who bully or laugh at the young boy, but their strength is obviously weaker, the young boy does not need to spend three years training, he only needs three days to retaliate. "After all, there is a 'treasure'. "After taking revenge on the people in the family, I will go out to obtain cultivation resources, then be bullied by people who are also trying to grab resources, and then kill them. I will go to other places to practice with big forces, and then be bullied by people in the sect, and then I will complete my revenge. "Finally, after a series of small 'bullying and revenge', the boy successfully fulfilled his three-year agreement and defeated his opponent." “This story will definitely be exciting.” The foxes were all breathing rapidly, with light in their eyes. They were all experts and knew that writing in this way would definitely produce good results. "But what happens after the three-year agreement?" A fox asked, "These chapters seem to be only a few hundred thousand words long. What should I do after I finish writing them?" This is far from enough for eight million words! Xu Gu raised his lips. Now it was the most important part. He said, "Continue the three-year agreement." "what?!" All the foxes were stunned and extremely surprised. Aren’t you treating your readers as fools? The three-year agreement has been fulfilled, another three-year agreement? Xu Gu shook his head and said, "Why don't you guys know how to adapt? The core is to continue writing the three-year agreement, but the form of expression must be changed! "On the way to fulfilling the three-year agreement, I unexpectedly provoked a stronger enemy. For example, my wife died, my master was captured, etc.

"This way, after completing the three-year agreement, everyone will expect the boy to grow to the point where he can defeat even more powerful enemies, revive his wife, and rescue his master." "I understand!" The leading fox understood instantly, with an expression of sudden enlightenment, and his whole body was trembling, as if the door to a new world had been opened. The eight million words are all three-year agreements, big and small! The big three-year agreement is within the small three-year agreement. Before the big three-year agreement is over, a new big three-year agreement will be made, and the writing goes on like this. Until I become an immortal, until I ascend to the immortal world, until I break through the immortal world... "Yes! You are worthy of being the writers I chose." Xu Gu was very pleased and marveled at their understanding. "Then it seems that this has nothing to do with color at all?" a fox asked in surprise. Xu Gu nodded slightly and said, “Even if I don’t add color, there will definitely be a lot of people reading this content. “But by adding color, you can bring the writing down to its basics. "You can add some color first, and then when you are more comfortable with it later, you can also not write color." In the early stage, he must write about sex. He also hopes that these soft and erotic harem stories that can be promoted will be popular and bring sales of his own interest clothes! The foxes nodded in unison. "Then how do we add color?" asked a fox. Although they are experts in writing about color, they have never written this form of vernacular novel and have no idea how to insert color. "It's very simple." Xu Gu said: "How can a successful man not have a woman by his side? “Add a little more to my confidante! "In every new place, we assign a beauty to the protagonist." As he spoke, Xu Gu suddenly raised his voice and said solemnly: "Pay attention! You can have many female confidantes! But you must not let them have sex easily! “You must focus on describing the process.” "Describe the process? How can we write about the process if there is no relationship?" A fox was surprised. “???” Xu Gu raised his eyebrows. What process are you talking about? Xu Gu did not dwell on it too much and continued, "The protagonist captures the heart of his confidante and puts her at ease! In this process, you must learn how to pull! The relationship must be close and distant at times! “Of course, the overall relationship remains close. “Humans are amazing creatures. They often despise things that are easier to get, no matter how valuable they are. On the other hand, the harder something is to get, the more they treasure it.” "I understand what you mean." The leading fox nodded and said seriously, "The mountain master's intention is to enhance the readers' sense of gain! Make those confidantes more precious." "Yes!" Xu Gu praised. The leading fox continued, "This process can also be applied to the theory of 'three-year agreement and three-year agreement'. “You can set a confidante at a certain stage and focus on describing her, and on describing the process of the protagonist winning her heart. "But this process cannot be too hasty, nor too slow, it should be appropriate. If it is too short, people will not cherish it. If it is too long, people will get bored.

“At the same time, during this period, the protagonist can also easily develop relationships with some less important characters, which adds fun and freshness and avoids boredom. "When the confidante of this stage is almost conquered, introduce the confidante of the next stage." "That's absolutely right!" Xu Gu clapped his hands excitedly. He is indeed a genius in this field! Everyone will be able to draw inferences about other situations! (End of this chapter)
