I first wrote the online article just to coax my son.

Before writing the online article, Maodou in the South had He is a successful children's literature writer. He started publishing articles at the age of 15 and has won the Bing Xin Award , Chen Bochui Children's Literature Award , the Zhejiang Youth Literature Star Nomination Award, the Zhejiang Province Outstanding Literature Award, and the First Chinese Original YA Literature Award Nomination Award. His works "Qinghao Goddess Tu Youyou" and "The Power of Character - 8 "Stories of Medal of the Republic Winners" has twice been selected into the catalog of key publications of the Central Propaganda Department. Among them, "Tu Youyou: Ideals Heal the World" won the 33rd Zhejiang Excellent Publications (Books) Editorial Award of the Zhejiang Provincial Publishing Association, and was selected into the 2017 National Farmhouse Bookstore Key Publication Recommendation Catalog. It was also shortlisted for the 10th National Outstanding Children's Literature Award . The children's novels he created, including the "Animal Rangers" series and the "Run, Boy" trilogy, have sold more than one million copies in total, with single sales exceeding 100,000 copies. He once created a work of more than 100,000 words in 15 days and received more than 400,000 yuan in royalties.
Maodou, who lives in the south, told reporters with a smile: "I am a member of the Chinese Writers Association and a national first-class writer. If someone had told me at that time that I would become an online literature writer and write more than 20 million words. I must have thought that either he was crazy or I was crazy."
Maodou, who lives in the south, embarked on the path of online literature because he wanted to coax his son. In 2012, the American TV series "The Walking Dead" was being broadcast on the Internet. After watching one season, Maodou's son, who was in elementary school in the south, kept asking him when the next season would be aired. Because each season of the American TV series was broadcast one year apart, Maodou in the south couldn't stand his son's repeated questioning, so he simply said to him: "Well, daddy will write you a story about The Walking Dead. If our city A biochemical crisis broke out in Ningbo . How should a family of three escape? "
Maodou, who lives in the south, has never written an online novel before, but he is a fan of online novels. From the earliest Fantasy Sword Book Alliance free reading era to the Qidian paid reading period, he has read many different types of online novels.
However, when he decided to write an online novel by himself, he was determined to write a unique online novel. Maodou, who is in the south, told reporters: "At that time, all walks of life did not think highly of online literature, and many traditional literature experts even denounced online literature as rubbish. However, the phenomenon of homogenization and shorthand writing in online novels is very serious, and many old book fans even criticized some online writers for being 'face-rolling keyboard code writers.' So when I entered the online literature world, I determined to write a novel that is similar to Distinctive online literature, especially the realistic style of traditional literature should be brought into the online literature world. "
At that time, in the online literature world, there were many apocalyptic novels based on the biohazard of "The Walking Dead". The main content of the novels was that the "Long Aotian"-style protagonist killed zombies and ate brain cores to grow bone spurs and tails. In the south, Maodou goes in the opposite direction, adhering to realism in his creative style. The protagonists are based on his own family of three. They are all ordinary people and do not have mutations such as bone spurs and tails.
When "Happy Life in the Biochemical Apocalypse" written by Maodou in the South was serialized in Qidian, it was immediately hit by readers. Many readers were disgusted with this completely different realism style. Some readers commented, "This book has not changed." Strange, not good-looking." Some readers commented sarcastically: "The protagonist is actually an ordinary person and a fat man, and he is even married. How can he have a harem in the future?"
Faced with a flood of negative reviews, Maodou in the south did not shrink from it. He told reporters: "It is definitely difficult to take a different path, but since you have taken it, you must go to the end without hesitation. I believe in my writing skills and the readers' appreciation ability. When readers are tired of the same stereotyped white articles, they will definitely like my works. "
Maodou in the South, who serialized "Happy Life at the End of the Biochemical Apocalypse" at Qidian, abandoned his membership of the Chinese Writers Association and all his achievements in the world of children's literature, and persisted in writing despite countless scoldings with only his courage. He writes 5,000 to 8,000 words every day, without weekends or holidays. Even when he was sick and was on an IV drip, he still typed with a laptop on his knees. "Happy Life in the Biochemical Apocalypse" was written with 100,000 words, and there were a lot of curses, and then 200,000 words, and a lot of curses. However, as the number of words became more and more, the story became more and more exciting, and the curses gradually subsided. When the number of words accumulated to one million words, readers finally discovered what was unique about this online novel, and more and more readers paid to read it.
In the end, the full text of "Happy Life in the Biochemical Apocalypse" is nearly 4 million words, and it took more than three years to create. Readers praised this online novel for pioneering realist online science fiction literature. Some readers liked this novel so much that they gave a one-time reward of 10,000 yuan to Maodou in the south. Many book fans spontaneously set up Baidu Tieba to create fan fiction and comics about the novel. Some readers even followed the escape route of the protagonist's family of three in Ningbo and came to Ningbo. They followed the pictures and visited various Ningbo attractions described in the novel one by one, taking a trip of "Happy Life in the Biochemical Apocalypse". The most exaggerated thing is that after readers learned that the protagonist in the novel was actually Maodou himself in the south, a book fan actually found the driver's license of Maodou in the south and posted it on the post bar for readers to conduct human flesh searches. The famous writer Ma Boyong , known as "Prince Ma" on the Internet, after accidentally discovering "Happy Life in the Biochemical Apocalypse", not only read it in one sitting, but also specially recommended it to netizens on his Weibo. There is also a female book lover who loved this work so much that she spent more than two years dubbing it herself, recorded it as an audiobook, and published it on Himalaya . This audiobook titled "Fat Wang's Happy Life at the Biochemical Apocalypse" received a 9.7 audience rating and 18.509 million views.

"Nobody Knows" short video
After Maodou in the south became a popular online writer with "The Happy Life of the Biochemical Apocalypse", Tencent invited him to participate in the creation of the popular IP "Brother Corpse". "Brother Corpse" is also a post-apocalyptic crisis theme. Around this IP, Tencent created comics, animations and even big movies. Maodou in the south went by the pseudonym "Lu Renfei" and exclusively serialized the online novel "Brother Corpse" on Chuangshi Chinese website. Since then, Maodou, who is in the south, has become a contracted writer for many mainstream online literature websites, and has created a series of works such as "I Don't Seek Immortality", "Time Travel: The New China Revival", "Mediocrity's Cultivation of Immortality", "Take a Country to Time Travel", "Nobody Knows", etc. The themes cover science fiction, fairy tales, military and other categories, with a total of more than 20 million words.
The years when
was writing online novels in Maodou in the south were also a period when online novels were increasingly being taken seriously and even seriously by relevant departments. Together with Tiancan Tudou , Fenghuo Xizhu, Guan Pingchao Hou and other Internet novel big names, he became a member of China's first provincial Internet writers association - Zhejiang Internet Writers Association . He participated in symposiums organized by the Chinese Writers Association and offered suggestions for the development of online literature. He even participated in the review of my country's first online literature writer's and high professional titles as a member of the senior professional title review committee of Zhejiang Province.
However, Maodou, who has been engaged in the creation of Internet literature for many years in the south, said: "My experience in creating Internet literature is that there is no experience to follow in the creation of Internet literature. The so-called hot spots, trends, and standards do not exist at all, because readers of Internet articles are very fickle, and their only reading standard is 'freshness.' Internet articles can only satisfy the freshness of readers. Only with enough innovation can readers pay to read it. Otherwise, even the best of the best, the works may become popular. "
This time, the Yongpai and Xirang Chinese Network cooperated to launch the Yongpai online novel channel. Maodou in the south was specially appointed as the editor-in-chief of the Yongpai online novel channel, bringing readers a permanent free metaverse online novel "Representing All Humanity".
Maodou in the south told reporters: ""Representing All Humanity" tells a serious theme - whether humans are the only intelligent creatures in the universe. I firmly believe that there are other intelligent creatures in the universe. When I was a child, I dismantled the TV antenna at home and put it on my head Then I ran to the balcony at night and used my "thought" to summon aliens to the stars. Now, I use online novels to construct a story about the first empire of the galaxy with countless intelligent creatures, and how humans in remote areas survive and reproduce under the unified management of the empire, and how to deal with conflicts with other intelligent creatures. "
Maodou in the south said that just like the Great Wall was built from small blue bricks, the first empire of the Milky Way also started from the simplest logical question: There are other intelligent life in the universe - different intelligent life faces the ultimate problem of life and death - the longer the life, the greater the need Wanting more resources - In order to resolve the contradiction between unlimited life and limited resources, various intelligent life forms are bound to have disputes - interstellar wars resulted in heavy casualties of intelligent life and the destruction of a large number of stars - the most powerful intelligent race used force to stop violence, established the first empire of the galaxy, and announced that all disputes within the empire would be resolved peacefully. It is against this background that humans on Earth received communications from the First Empire of the Galaxy and were passively involved in galaxy disputes.
Maodou in the south told reporters that "Representing All Humanity" will be created using a fully open architecture. The Yongpai online novel channel has specially set up a metaverse to co-create and build a community - inviting Yongpai readers to participate in the creation of the novel, including that Yongpai readers can set their own characters named after themselves. , character and plot, and "involve" themselves into the novel; set the characteristics of different intelligent races within the First Empire of the Galaxy, the internal management system of the empire, various dimensionality reduction and combat weapons, etc., etc., which are selected by the author and incorporated into the novel; Yongpai readers can also create their own fan fiction and publish it on the Yongpai online novel channel.
Maodou in the south said: "Compared with traditional literature, one of the major characteristics of online novels is interactivity. During the creation process, the author can receive feedback from readers. I hope to take this interaction a step further and try to invite readers to participate in all aspects of the theme, characters, and plot of the work. In terms of festivals and other aspects, readers can become one of the many creators and jointly create a metaverse community owned by Yongpai readers. "
