A novel written "the hardest"
The heroine of "The Concubine Strategy" is Luo Shiniang. Her appearance is very low. Her birth mother is not favored, and she does not like her aunt. She was originally a plain and transparent at home.
But by chance, a modern soul passed through this seemingly hopeless concubine. Modern people with rich social experience deal with family affairs without pressure, which can be called a "dimension reduction blow", and finally they have to meet a beloved. Get your own happiness.
The whole novel was completed about ten years ago.
Zhizhe said, this is the most difficult novel she has written.
The story structure of "The Concubine Strategy" was completed smoothly. Zhizhi once thought it would be easy to write, but soon found that she still had many shortcomings, so she postponed her writing plan and lived in Hangzhou for six weeks and then in Beijing. After two weeks, I went to the field first to gather the wind.
"In order to bring the writing technique closer to the background of the Ming Dynasty and make the reader feel immersive, I re-read "San Yan Er Pai" and other works, consulted a lot of Ming history materials, and then started writing." She also moved out of her father's. Collection of books, compare the Ming and Qing city defense maps.
As for the name of the novel, "concubine" refers to the identity of the heroine, while "strategy" means to attack and show talent.

What does the "adaptation fever" mean for web IP?
In fact, including the popularity of "The Concubine Raiders", the craze for adaptation of Internet IP has been going on for a long time.
The reason is analyzed by industry insiders. First, popular novels have a large number of fans, and the attention itself is high, and they may gather a lot of popularity in a short period of time. Second, with the changes of the times, web articles have their own freshness, and It fits people's lives more closely.
She feels that, for film and television dramas with a wide audience, online novels provide more material and inspiration, and the screenwriter or production team may make another interpretation according to their own aesthetics and form.
From the earlier "Chances of the Destiny" and "Remaining Sin" to the recent "Zuo Son" and so on, Zhizhi found that the current online novels that have been filmed are basically works that have been popular for ten or even twenty years. , Passed the test of time.
"Internet literature has developed for more than 20 years, and there have been many good works that have attracted people's attention. It is almost inevitable that there will be an upsurge of adaptation." Zhizhi is happy to see this trend, "This also allows Internet authors to go from behind the scenes to the front stage. , The social responsibility is heavier."
Online novels can also be "realistic"
Combining the craze of online literature over the past two decades, a simple review reveals that around 2009, "abusive essays" with endless plots were quite popular, and a thrilling love story can often earn readers' tears.

With the development of society and the acceleration of the pace of life, Shuangwen with keywords such as "counter-attack" and "upgrading monsters" has become popular. Anti-routine and multi-element works continue to appear, and the themes are increasingly subdivided and diversified.
"Later Xiaotianwen was basically free of abuse throughout the story, allowing readers to earn a good mood and gradually become popular." Zhizhi believes that the author of online literature is actually a "dream weaver", allowing readers to be in the dreamland created by the novel. Release the pressure and get a moment of rest.
In her view, online literature, like pure literature, can reflect reality.
Zhizhi has been trying to introduce "reality-oriented" things into his novels.
Take "The Concubine Raiders" as an example. Although the plot of the story is fictitious, many details are true, such as some customs and habits of the Ming Dynasty.
For example, in the novel, the etiquette, customs, food, utensils, clothing and other details of the Ming Dynasty aristocratic family are truly reproduced. At the same time, the brushwork is delicate, and the language of the characters is as close as possible to the way of speaking in the Ming Dynasty.
"For a long time, reading has been in two forms, one is to make you think, and the other is to make you smile." Zhizhi believes that no matter what type and subject matter, online novels can bring some useful to readers. Thinking, this is a good thing.
