Classification of time travel
As mentioned above, time travel is the soul of a person. When we reach another era, world, and role, we will start a different journey. Then, according to the different elements of the changed, time travel can be roughly classified as follows:
1. It’s just that the times have changed, and other roles such as the world have not changed. In other words, the time traveler is still the same person, but has just returned to the past or crossed the future. In this, the time traveler’s own age is also different from change and unchanging.
A person, going back to the past and then changing history, is a novel like this. People are still this person, and their age has basically not changed. This is the main type of time travel. Anyone who is dissatisfied with a certain history or has a certain ambition can wear it like this. There are also the most famous works, such as "Ming", "New Song", "Strange Ming", etc.
After returning to the past, time travelers have no choice but to rely on themselves. Therefore, in this type of novel, how to set the personal strengths of time travelers have become the top priority in the future plot development and set the tone for the whole story. If time travelers want to play their strengths and stand out, they must first have their strengths. Whether this strength can withstand the scrutiny of readers and whether it looks real and credible, this tests the author's personal professional level or knowledge. In this regard, professionals have relatively obvious advantages, such as creating "Ming", thus creating a drunkard who makes steelmaking; if they are not professionals, they are just enthusiasts of a certain professional, as long as they study it in depth, they can have good results, such as writing "New Song", which triggers a group of Ayue who intends to follow the path of a generation of literary scholars.
Of course, even if you have good professional functions, it is very important to catch up with a good era. In history and reality, too many things have happened to be unacceptable. If Wu'anguo and Shi Yue were both sent to the heyday of the Mongol Empire, instead of the early Ming Dynasty where all the wastes are prosperous and the Song Dynasty where culture is prosperous, it would be a great tragedy for them: Shi Yue would probably starve to death, and Wu'anguo would probably run to the island to make steel and plot against the mainland. Li Fugui, who is familiar with all the dregs or essences of Chinese culture, traveled to the late Qing Dynasty, which was "a great change that had not been seen in three thousand years", but other "prosperity" that feudal dynasties could effectively rule. With his cleverness and cunning, he would probably only be a big profiteer or a small corrupt official.
Back to the past, there is a large subcategory: the rebirth category. It means that time travelers return to their childhood and re-open the life. The representative work is Zhou Xingwen's "Legend of Rebirth". The characteristic of this type of work is to go back to the past, become a child self, and then create one miracle after another through their own advantages of "predicting the future".
For other competitors, those who are familiar with the future, to be precise, those who are familiar with the near future should be the most terrifying thing? The anti-drug slogan in the public service advertisements of Hong Kong TV back then was: "In life, there is no taketwo, please stay away from drugs." What about this kind of reborn person? "Life can be taken, please travel through time as soon as possible."
The works of time travelers who have arrived in the future are more representative, which should be considered Mo Wu's "The Master of Martial Arts on Campus". There are many imitations of the trend, such as "The Domineering Life" (actually I think this book should be called "The Life of Sand Pig".). This type of work is characterized by the protagonist not traveling from real history, but from the fictional history in literary works - without internal power and magical power, how can he survive in a fierce competition in today's society under the disadvantage of lack of modern knowledge? Therefore, you must know martial arts and have internal power.
2. It’s just that the role has changed, and neither the times nor the world have changed.
To put it bluntly, this kind of work is when someone suddenly reaches another person in the same era, and then he has to write his own legend in a new role and a new environment.
Of course, it is not just for casual wear, at least it must be better than yourself. Otherwise, how can you mess with a beggar or a seriously ill patient? Confucius said: "If you have no friends, you are not as good as yourself." By the same token, time travelers can say "Don't wear someone who is not as good as yourself." (From this point, Lord Kafka's "Metamorphosis" is really not yy enough. How can readers feel happy when they wake up and become a big beetle? If he was also an online writer back then, he should have at least become JP Morgan or Emperor William...)
This type of time travel is most commonly used in online works of cultural and sports. Just imagine, you were an otaku who had to breathe when going up the stairs. He was facing the computer all day long, with a pale face and a haggard face, and blushed when he saw mm, but suddenly you became a super sports star of C Ronaldo or Kobe, and you were invincible in the field. How cool it would be.
In contrast, if you travel to a contemporary political and economic celebrity, not to mention whether it will be harmonious with politically sensitive issues, the inside story and details of the political and economic circle alone are not something that ordinary writers can master. Moreover, the political world is changing. If you just traveled to Saddam in the virtual world, the person in reality was dug out of the hole by the evil US army, or the prophet of the global economy not long ago, and you have not enjoyed the fun of guiding the interest rate inspiring index for a long time. The person in reality has fallen from the altar and is asked to be responsible for the subprime mortgage crisis. Anyway, this is an era of entertainment until death. Cultural and sports celebrities entertain themselves and travel to them. I believe they will not have the right to reputation.
This type of famous works include Lin Haitingtao's "Champion Godfather", and "I became..." represented by Sanming's "I became Marcos Moratti".
This kind of work seems to be helpless in writing in this way. If you don’t write it like this, you can’t continue. The reality of Chinese football really makes people cry. If Lin Haida wrote a book called "The Godfather of A", he would probably only be able to write about the underworld and fake football.
3. The roles and times have changed, but... Fortunately, the world has not changed.
When you wake up, you are no longer you, and the times are not the current era. You have become another person in another era!
At this time, you look up at the sky. Fortunately, the stars are still the same star and the moon is still the same moon. You have not fallen into a different world with three different colors of moons.
This type of novel is mainly about possessing someone in history, or taking over the body, and then starting to go against the will of heaven.
For a writer who is interested in time traveling, choosing this possessed "someone in history" is a very knowledgeable thing. The popular candidates are, first, too many people have chosen them before. Not only are readers prone to aesthetic fatigue, but what is more fatal is that they are afraid of being unable to compare with their predecessors, which leads to readers' loss; readers have never heard of those who are too unpopular, so naturally the possibility of subscribing to purchase VIPs is small, and they cannot learn from those evil fund managers who fool the people into buying funds.
", let's first "reader education" to tell readers what kind of person this person is and what great things he has done, right? With this kind of leisure, it's better to open an extra VIP. Therefore, when selecting materials, you should choose historical figures that have a certain reputation, are not very famous, and are not worn by other writers, so that you can better balance risks and benefits. Of course, if the life experience of this character is interesting, or can be written very interestingly, it would be even better.
Therefore, we see that during the time-traveling of the Three Kingdoms, when first-tier superstars such as Cao, Liu and even Sun Zhongmou were gradually neglected due to too many appearances, second-tier stars such as Guo Jia and Pang Tong began to take the lead, and challenging characters such as Hua Xiong and Jiang Gan were also discovered; after the founders of the Qin Emperor, Han Wu, Tang Zong and Song Zu were traveling through time, Emperor Yang of Sui and Emperor Jiajing could not escape the evil hands - of course, in the novel, these impotent monarchs finally returned to history and the people, after all, were they traveled through time? And for writers, choosing to travel through time-traveling has another huge advantage, that is, they can write some plots of debauchery with confidence to serve readers - this is called respecting history and respecting facts. Who dares to say that this is wrong? Who can say that this is wrong!
In this regard, I personally think that the most successful writing is "The New Biography of Gao Yanei" (Does Gao Yanei really exist in history?... Actually, this is not important. What is important is that readers think he exists and know that there is this person). People are famous playboys, and their wives control Gao Yanei and Gao Qiang. The era was the period of Huizong in the Northern Song Dynasty, when the court was singing and dancing inside and outside, they were not aware of the great disaster. Whether it was the role of entering the palace or the historical era, they were very distinctive and challenging. The prodigal son turned back to become a generation of literary masters, and finally turned the tide with his own strength. In addition, the mechanical conspiracy of gold, iron horses, and plagiarism of poetry with red and green, can be used to express the direction and route for the author to play, and there are many scenes that can make readers feel interesting and refreshing. If they had not entered the palace for a while, the achievements would be more than the current level.
In the past few years of online novel development, no one seems to have dared to travel through time except for the saints like Grandson and Confucius. Zheng He and Wei Zhongxian, who lack a sense of substitution, survived, all other historical figures with a little fame have basically been discovered. Wu Sangui, Li Zicheng, Chongzhen, Yan Song, Yi... Basically, there are only unexpected things that cannot be worn.
Sometimes I wonder what if someone traveled to Wu Sangui's body in the late Ming Dynasty and just started to develop technology to prepare for Ni Tian, but found that Li Zicheng and Chongzhen were also traveling through time, what should he do? When he was angry with the beauty, he found that Chen Yuanyuan was also traveling through time, so what should he do?
Or, at this time, you can only express it by?.
4. The world has changed.
In this type of work, a person, that is, the soul of the protagonist, has arrived in another world for some reason, lucky or unfortunately for some reason. The so-called another world refers to a world where the laws of physics, natural environment, and social development are different from the world we are in, rather than a mirror or derivative of our world. It can be a high-demon medieval magic world, or a high-tech future interstellar world, but it is not a variant of our world. What we have, what we have, what we must abide by, may not necessarily be there; vice versa.
Since the world has changed, there is no way to talk about whether the times have changed. After all, the history and age of another world are completely different from the main world where we are. As for whether the character changes, or whether the protagonist goes to another world with the soul and body, or just goes to another world in the form of a soul to become a certain character in another world, it is not the point. After all, the soul is the key. If a soul on our side runs to another world, they may cause a storm...
This type of novel is the so-called time-travel novel of another world. In online novels, time-travel novels and historical time-travel novels are the two subjects written by the most people. If the key points of historical time-travel, in addition to personal abilities, are the ability to predict and grasp future events and technological development, then the key points of another world are the inherent scarcity that the protagonist has.
Mr. Lu Xun once wrote: "It is probably because things are worthy of. When cabbage from Beijing is transported to Zhejiang, it is tied with a red-headed rope to the roots, hung upside down in the water shop, and respected as gangue.' The wild aloe vera in Fujian is invited into a greenhouse as soon as it arrives in Beijing, and it is called 'Agave'." A protagonist who is not very satisfied in our world, once he reaches the "alternative world", will become strange goods like Tang Monk who has arrived in the Kingdom of Women. The common sense he originally possesses, such as assembly lines, and making gunpowder, is likely to be regarded as top wisdom; the skills he has mastered,
For example, medical care and tailors are likely to be more precious than the combat power of the local swordsman. The key to how to grasp and reflect the scarcity of the protagonist itself is the first issue that writers of this type of work need to pay attention to. After all, there are many people who write this type of work and readers read it. In order to make readers feel innovative, setting the protagonist's professional skills is the key, and fighting and killing all the way will definitely not work now. In this way, we saw professionals with various skills traveling to other worlds to develop, such as special forces, arms dealers, smugglers, veterinarians, engineers, erotic painters, etc.
There is another variant of works in other worlds, that is, people from other worlds come to our world, mages from magical worlds come to the technological era, aliens come to the earth, etc. For them, our world is their other world. This type of work is generally difficult to become popular because of readers' sense of substitution and identity of the protagonist, but because the protagonists look at the problem differently, they can be written very interestingly or absurdly. For example, the most interesting Chinese football novel "Asymptotic Freedom" is like this, which refers to the story that happens after aliens travel to Earthlings.
Yes, "Asymptotic Freedom" is a football novel...at least I think so.
Having written so many words about the protagonist's time travel, I actually sometimes wonder, besides the protagonist's time travel, is there a situation where the author will travel in time? For example, the Qing Dynasty articles of female writers, whether it is palace fighting, seizure or danmei, look quite terrible. What's even more terrifying is that the enthusiasm of female writers to write such works is higher than that of male protagonists to travel to another world to seek beauty. It is really difficult to understand the evil taste... Could it be that aliens or people from another world travel to the earth on a large scale to write taboos that their world cannot write?
Chapter 3: The way to travel? Who is traveling?
How to travel through time, or, in other words, how to travel through time?
In the past, this may have been a very interesting topic, but in this era when everyone is wearing it, it has become a joke if you discuss it again. Especially after the evil animations like "Devil Starts Today".
At the beginning, the people still treated time travel and the way of time travel as a very serious matter. Those who can travel time travel are either lucky to be blushed from the ancestral grave or they have spent all their efforts on time traveling.
The way of traveling at that time can be roughly divided into intentional and unintentional. The intentional ones, such as Xiang Shaolong, was stuffed into the time machine by someone, or the infighting empire, actively entered the time machine; the unintentional ones were mostly due to diseases or accidents, such as death from illness, car accidents, lightning strikes, and then traveling through time.
At that time, the authors were still very serious about the way of traveling, for fear of being laughed at or questioned by readers, and pursued the so-called rationality and rigor.
But today, there is no author or concern about this. The first chapter of time travel online works has become a chapter that can be directly omitted and not read. Anyway, it all means: someone has traveled through time, and what new tricks can there be?
Scarcity is precious, and once there are too many things, it will be worthless. This is like 10 years ago, if we wanted to buy a mobile phone, we would regard it as a big deal, prepare funds, consult opinions, inquire about the market, and then think carefully before buying it. After buying it, we must show off to others intentionally or unintentionally, and others will most likely look envious. Now? Mobile phones are already in the streets, cheaper than cabbage. Everyone has one, and changing one is more casual than changing clothes. If you buy a new mobile phone and show off to your colleagues, you will probably be laughed at as a local bun.
The way of traveling is the same as that of mobile phones. In just a few years, it has fallen from a high-tech product to a cabbage.
Therefore, the authors of new time travel works in the past two years just write about the way of time travel, or simply leave nothing to explain, and pass through it all in one go. The time travel method is like an AV male actor from a certain island country. Although every work cannot be missing, no one will ever care about it and pay attention to it, let alone be the selling point of the work.
In short, the times have developed to the present, and there are all kinds of ways to travel through time. Everyone shows their magical powers. There is no need to explain how to wear them. Anyway, if you wear them, you will wear them. The so-called wonderful use lies in one's mind.
In addition, from the perspective of protecting minors, it is better for the authors not to write the time travel method too detailed, so as to avoid the occurrence of a young reader who lacks a correct understanding of the world view and outlook on life, as some news said, after being addicted to it, he really ran to the road to try to cross through a car accident.
So, who is traveling through time? The answer is professionals with special skills, or ordinary people who are dissatisfied with reality.
Time travelers are professionals with special skills. This is the need for the author to write: after time travel, you have to do something career. How can you do without a skill? If you have diplomas and experience, even if you are a servant, you can make a name for yourself. Now is no longer an era of passionate entry into another world. It is not possible to just do it, at least readers will not agree. As long as you have special skills, you can survive after time travel. For example, if you travel to an environment similar to ancient China, as long as you can memorize "Dream of Red Mansions", you can at least have enough food and clothing.
Time travelers are ordinary people who are dissatisfied with reality, which is the need to serve readers. Today, with commercial writing, online fantasy novels are just one of many consumption methods, and they are relatively cheap. Readers who have time to read online fantasy novels are very likely to belong to hundreds of thousands of groups in a second; readers who need to use fantasy novels to provide spiritual massage are unlikely to be full of enthusiasm and confidence in life. To serve readers well, they must be anxious about what readers are anxious about, avoid what readers are afraid of, and make readers feel a sense of identity and engagement. Since most readers are right
Ordinary people who are not satisfied with reality, let them let themselves go in fantasy and let them travel through time. Therefore, in a large part of the time travel works, the protagonists are otaku and fat people, loveless people and loveless people. This type of person is difficult to realize his own value in reality, and he can only spend his dreams through time traveling through the world. This has also formed many taboos in writing online fantasy novels, such as the women you meet in the novel must be virgins, the boss must be in another world, etc., otherwise readers will not buy it. After all, if things that cannot be obtained in reality cannot be obtained in dreams, it would be too cruel.
Chapter 4, Why do you need to travel through time? Why do you need to write about travel through time
Why do the protagonists of time travel novels need to travel? Why do online writers need to write novels on such topics?
These two are actually questions that the author needs to answer, not questions that the protagonist needs to answer. After all, it is the author who lets the protagonist travel through time, and they should be responsible for it.
The author is the parents of the protagonists, the protagonists are the children of the author, and parents always put their ideals and hopes in their children.
Early historical time-travel works, such as "The Resurrection of China", "Ming Dynasty", and "New China in 1911", are all quite passionate and responsible. The protagonists return to a critical period in history and use their own strength to contribute to the rejuvenation and strength of the Chinese nation. At that time, the authors should have seriously explored various ways to save the country. However, soon, writers will no longer have time to think about these income-related issues in the development trend of commercial writing, under the pressure of subscriptions and update speed, and in the pursuit of many competitors.
They will realize that writing is not just a business, but also a business. In the current world, fast fish eats slow fish, and counterfeit factories eat regular factories.
As mentioned above, online novels have developed to the present, and time travel is as valuable as cabbage, and time travel works are created without interruption like assembly line production. Looking back, all of this is very similar to the "world processing factory" in the Pearl River Delta. The cheap labor costs, efficient processing speed, skillful processing technology, repeating similar products, the courage to imitate new products and the fear of innovation... Sometimes, I doubt whether VIP websites such as Qidian have been Walmartized and have placed orders directly with writers.
"This website requires the Tang Dynasty time travel text xx version and the Song Dynasty time travel text xx version. The requirements are as follows...the price is...the delivery date...if interested bidders please..."
The waves wash away the sand, and the commercialization torrent is unstoppable. If time travelers were generally very ideal and ambition in the first few years of online fantasy novels, they basically had great ambitions such as promoting my country's mighty nation and reviving the nation. In the later stages, under the constraints of commercial interests, they basically traveled for time travel and to serve readers.
.
Or to sum it up in one sentence, it used to be "I came to do revolutionary work", but now it is "I come to do women's work".
So, why do writers write works that travel through time?
Before studying this issue, I think it would be better to look at it from the perspective of an online writer. If you are an online writer, you plan to write a novel to earn some pocket money, you don’t want to miss the situation, and you are not going to be caught for tea. And you are sad to find that your life experience is relatively shallow, your knowledge is relatively narrow, and at the same time, you have a lot of competitors, and your readers have read various novels, and your appetite has been tricked.
So, what kind of novels should you write?
First of all, you have to face the power of the Time and Space Administration. Not making money is a trivial matter, and being caught and drinking tea will be a big problem. Therefore, you cannot write too sensitive social problems, and you cannot write more sensitive historical problems. Anyway, the editor dares not publish them for you after writing them. Since you can't write social reality and rigorous historical themes, why don't you write about time travel? The protagonist returns to the past "safety" historical era, or becomes a real person in the "safety" historical era, and even goes to the so-called "other world" to show off his power. No matter how vulgar such a plot is, it is at least politically correct. After traveling through time, it is really a place where the sky is high and the birds fly, and the sea is wide and the fish fly. The Time and Space Administration is no longer interested in taking care of you.
As for the so-called "rebirth" novels, they still have risks because they may also involve historical and practical issues. However, writers nowadays are very smart. Generally, such novels are firmly centered on economic development, with making money and picking up girls as the basic points. They turn a blind eye to things outside the window and only count RMB.
Looking back at Taiwan’s martial arts novels, under the high political pressure on the island, leading figures such as Gu Long have all downplayed the historical background. They don’t know where the story will happen. The whole article only talks about the grievances of the world, and does not mention the rise and fall of the dynasty, which really makes people feel like yesterday.
The second thing to face is the pressure from the reader group, especially the reasonable party members.
A long time ago, there was an online novel called "I Am the Great Master"... This online novel is a work that created a trend. It captured the youthful desire of young readers for the first time and provided readers with refreshing services without considering any so-called depth of thought and rationality of the plot. This novel was a great success at that time, and also brought about a trend in the "I Am XXX" series, with a profound impact.
However, if this novel appears in the current online novel VIP market, it is probably neither popular nor popular. Not only will it be called a poisonous weed, but it will also fail in subscriptions. Why? Because readers have also grown up.
While writers keep making money by typing, readers are also changing. After reading a lot of online novels, they will naturally compare vertically and horizontally, and have certain thoughts. The so-called "not afraid of not knowing things, but afraid of comparing things with goods. Simple sensory stimulation can no longer meet the readers' requirements. In addition to writing, they also require rationality, and rational party members are born. Gradually, readers need to be refreshed in a reasonable and logical manner, rather than unreasonable conscience.
In other words, readers begin to look at the writer's works with their brains, and use the knowledge and common sense they have mastered to verify and test everything they see in the work. They will find that finding the bug or "thunder" of the work is more comfortable than simply reading. In this way, readers will go from little to big white, and if they continue to read, they may become poisonous snakes, which puts higher requirements on the writers.
Unfortunately, customers are God, and writers can only meet the growing rational requirements for readers, otherwise they will be eliminated by the market. In this way, poor writers face an embarrassing situation: on the one hand, as online writers, they engage in commercial writing, starting from the market demand, and require their protagonists to be outstanding and invincible, so that readers will feel happy and feel happy, and subscribe to buy writers' works; on the other hand, writers are still mortals after all, their intelligence level is not much higher than readers, their life experience is relatively shallow and their knowledge is relatively narrow. After all, most of online writers are young, and readers' requirements are really difficult for them. Or it can be said that the question is, how to make writers with IQ 100 and how to get the protagonists with IQ 180?
In addition to taking the risk of being ridiculed by increasingly picky readers and forcibly increasing the IQ of the protagonist, there are about three solutions used by writers: one is that since the protagonist's IQ cannot be improved, then you might as well lower the IQ of the supporting characters, that is, the great sage of the King Pope is easier to fool and fool than the children in kindergartens; the other is to use the breadth of knowledge to replace the depth of wisdom. The protagonist is either not smart or cunning enough, but is better because of his profound knowledge (I want to praise the greatness of Baidu and Google here). In this way, it seems that he is almost wise and almost demonic, and it is reasonable to be successful; however, there must be a prerequisite, that is, this knowledge is also applicable in the world where the story takes place. The last one is to break the ten goals with one force. There is no need to improve the IQ of the protagonist, but only the protagonist's innate advantages. The strength is strong enough. Just relying on brute force alone can break all wisdom.
On the other hand, writers must face the fact that their energy is limited, and readers have unlimited requirements for update speed. When writing plots, writers must comprehensively consider update speed and economic benefits. This is also the reason why the current decline in reasoning works: even if writers try their best to come up with a puzzle, it is enough to deceive all readers, and then suddenly realize and praise it, but the time it takes to conceive this puzzle and write it out is, if you use it to write a ring match or a jealous campus plot without using a brain plot, the number of words can be more or more. The price of online novel VIP subscription is based on the number of words. The input and output are not proportional to the output, and it may not be pleasing to exhaust your brain. In this way, who is willing to write a reasoning work?
Therefore, time travel works have become a good subject that can not only meet readers' requirements for rationality, but also meet the author's requirements for writing speed and economic benefits. No matter what the real world is, in the world that is traveled, the superiors there can be stupid and stupid due to the limitations of the "historical" and "reality" conditions in the work, the superiors there can be stupid; the sword saints and demons there can be weak; the sage prophets there can be ignorant and even less knowledgeable about explosives or steelmaking. One time travel will end all the rational problems. In addition, Baidu Knows or Wikipedia is a magical tool for farming and flowing works to fill water and sell meat.
The VIP system of online novels has supported many writers who rely on writing as a living, but the assembly line-like writing requirements also stifle their opportunity to write classics. After all, there are not many people who can write classics in commercial writing, but not many people are famous, such as Balzac and Jin Yong.
The third thing that must be considered is the reader's sense of identity and substitution.
When online fantasy works first became popular, because writers were influenced by Western fantasy novels (Dragon Gun, Dark Elf) and magic games (Heroes Invincible, Warcraft) and many works at that time, both in the background and in the protagonists, were purely Western, such as "Lost Continent", "Blasphemy", etc. Readers at that time had no objection to this: after all, there were not many novels to choose from, and it would be nice to have them to read.
When online fantasy novels enter a stage of prosperity where flowers bloom, readers begin to become picky, and readers' sense of substitution for the background of the work and the protagonist's sense of identity are also placed in front of writers.
Whether readers will agree with the protagonist of a work or a work, and whether they will substitute it will greatly affect the success or failure of the work in commercial terms. A novel with a completely Western fantasy style is very unfavorable to gain readers' sense of identity and engagement. If readers want to agree, they must connect certain elements of the work to them to facilitate their self-esteem and pride. They must make them feel that this work talks about the story of "we" or "people like us", rather than a foreigner from the mainland who will never be related to readers for eight lifetimes.
The story of others and "they". This is also the reason why there are fewer and fewer pure Western protagonists, while there are more and more yellow-skinned, dark-eyed and dark-haired protagonists: I have never seen a person named Zhang Bianben unify the continent to establish a harem. In order to make readers more likely to feel a sense of identity and substitution, among the protagonists who travel through the past few years, the proportion of real-world losers, such as the otaku and fat man mentioned above, the above-mentioned otakus and fat man, the broken heart and the broken heart are in a trend. With the continuation of the financial tsunami, this situation may become more and more obvious.
There are good examples in reality that the impact of identity and sense of substitution on business performance: Zhang Depei is only a Chinese American. Although he has never ranked first in the world, just because he has a yellow skin, his influence in China is greater than that of those in the world. There are very few domestic basketball fans who like the Rockets or Houston, but since Yao Ming went there, the Rockets have become the "our" team for domestic fans and have achieved great results in business.
Under such pressure, if a writer likes the Western fantasy background but needs to consider the readers' sense of identity and engagement in business, he can only write about time travel: the Chinese protagonist travels to the Western background. This can not only give full play to his background knowledge, but also take care of the readers' emotions. Moreover, because it is mostly described as "our" people who go to the territory of "others", they can also call it promoting Chinese culture and promoting our country's power, which can be said to be three goals in one fell swoop.
Since Renchen's "Horizhan" wrote a master of ancient Chinese martial arts traveling to the Western fantasy world, and no one can defeat the world. After achieving great commercial success, online works that are both Chinese and Western in style have begun to become uncontrollable. Writers will find that such works are easy to write because they are familiar with the background, and they are also easy to sell money because readers are easily identified and substituted. So what's the point of not doing it? The traditional cultural essence of my glorious dynasty
To be continued...
