◎Mary Sue◎

Mary Sue, the term is said to have originated in the fanfiction circle, and later a foreign writer wrote a fanfiction novel with Marry Sue as the protagonist and it became widely circulated.(Note ①)

The core feature of Mary Su's novels is that "everyone loves me", the male protagonist and male supporting role are even villains. Except for the vicious female supporting role, no one does not love the female protagonist. To be exaggerated, it can be regarded as the heroine-centered theory.

Although this type of novel was later criticized by many readers, it was considered too exaggerated and unrealistic, and it was also straightforward and shallow without connotation.

However, in fact, most of the women's novels, no matter what the subject matter is, what kind of skin they wear, have the characteristics of "Mary Sue" at their core.

The key point is that the author's ability to control the text, if it is well controlled, no matter how Su readers feel "Su", they can only chase after it crazily and call it.

Yu Gesang believes that writing Mary Su novels is the most suitable way to introduce the concept of women-oriented literature.

And Mary Sue is divided into "Ordinary Su" and "Perfect Su", like "Perfect" Su, as the name suggests, refers to a very perfect heroine, who is almost impossible to appear in reality, such as the foreign writer wrote "Marry Sue", belongs to the heroine of "Perfect Sue".

"Ordinary Su" is also easy to understand. Even if the heroine is mediocre, she can still be loved by everyone. There are many "Ordinary Su" heroines in later generations. Compared with "Perfect Su", it willIt is easier to get ridiculed by readers, thinking that it is impossible for such an ordinary heroine to get so many favors.(Note ②)

But no matter what kind of "Su", it can be summed up in four words, that is, "the writing is so good that it can be broken".

However, Yu Gesang herself prefers the "Perfect Su" heroine, so she decided on the type of heroine without much hesitation. As for how to match the theme-is there anything more Su than the perfect Su heroine who saves the world?

In October, when Yu Gesang was "retreating" to create a new article, the country promulgated a new law, which directly made the completed "The Elder of Xiuxian" explode again.

The reason is that this law stipulates that due to the protection of the author's copyright, without the author's consent, others are not allowed to misappropriate, borrow or even copy the content of the book for commercial activities...

In order to let the public understand this legal provision more clearly and straightforwardly, when the official newspaper announced this law, the editor also commented below. Taking "The Elder of Xiuxian" as an example, Kong Xueting directly followed the "Xiuxian Elder" without the author's consent.It is illegal to build a real farm built by the main character in The Elder, and restore the content of the novel almost one-to-one.

As soon as this law was promulgated, there was a sensation in the whole country.

"Is that a law for a novel?"

"My God, how powerful is "The Elder of Cultivation of Immortals", it can make the authorities revise the law!"

"It's not entirely for "The Elder of Cultivating Immortals", it's just an example, don't take it out of context, when will the government promulgate a law specifically for a novel, it must be that this phenomenon happens from time to time, and it will attract the attention of the governmentYes, "Cultivating the Elders", at most, it can be regarded as having a greater influence, and there will be more people who follow the elders to open the elder farm, so it will be set up as a typical example."

"That's how powerful it is, okay? Look around us, is there an elder's farm? When the last two volumes of "Cultivating the Elders" were released, didn't there also appear the Earl's Manor and Zongmen Xianzhuang, all of which were based on the old man's farm?"I copied the book and made a lot of money by taking advantage of the popularity of the novel. Can you do it in that novel? I think it was because the popularity was too high at the time and there were too many people following the trend, which caused the officialNote, then this law was born."

"This law is promulgated very well. Although I am also a fan of "The Elder Xiuxian" and like to visit those farms and villas, no matter how popular these manors are, it has nothing to do with the author, even if I copied the author's novel., I took his idea, it was pretty bad at that time, but now, with this law, these businessmen want to make money, but they have to pay the author a creative fee."

Generally speaking, public opinion is still more in favor of this law, and of course a few objections are unavoidable, but this is not a draft law, but has already been promulgated, so it will rarely change.

Therefore, opposition is opposition, and we should act in accordance with the law or have to act in accordance with the law.

So Xu Wanyan started to get busy, because she is the editor of "Zhu Ge", and the public doesn't know who "Zhu Ge" is at all.

Zhu Ge did not show up at the annual list announcement conference, and when the half-year list "Xiu Xian Elder" was on the list this year, Zhu Ge also asked the editor to accept the award instead, and he did not show up. It can be said that the news of "Zhu Ge" isIt was so well hidden that no one knew how to contact him, only Xu Wanyan from the Sanhua Publishing House, who was the editor in charge of "Zhu Ge".

Xu Wanyan couldn't bear it anymore, so she called Yu Gesang, and then let Yu Gesang come out of the "small black room" of creation to understand this matter.

In fact, if it weren't for the promulgation of the law this time, so many people came to Xu Wanyan, Yu Gesang really didn't know that so many people "realized" the plot of her novel, except for her book fan Kong Xueting who had not promulgated the law.It's time to give her a share. These people who are contacting Xu Wanyan now have almost never appeared before.

She thought about it, if there was no such law in advance, it would be useless for her to care about it, and this time, with the support of the official law, if it is opened up like this, the risk is actually very high.

This is different from the simple authorization of open subject matter. The novel merchants borrow the plots in the book to make money. The first wave of money must be the money of the book fans. Compared with the book fans and the merchants, the book fans are naturally their own.

And if some merchants carry private goods and use her authorization to open up false propaganda, this will implicate their own reputation.

What's more, it is impossible for Zhu Ge to write only this book. If this book is open to authorization, what should the next book be "take it for yourself"?

Moreover, the dignity of the law must be maintained. Since it is supported in this way, something must be done.

In short, Yu Gesang cannot easily license it out for free like this.

After thinking over and over again, Yu Gesang decided to imitate her previous life's "agent" model and delegate this part of the copyright (this part of the copyright is not under the management of the book club, the contract does not currently stipulate this part of the copyright, of course it does not rule out that it will be added in later).

There are specialties in the art industry, and professional people do professional things. Yu Gesang asked someone to investigate. Among the businesses that borrowed the idea of "The Elder of Xiuxian", there are a few that do the best and have a large scale and good reputation.Among these people, there is also that book fan Kong Xueting.

Yu Gesang decided to give him the agency right, and as for the proceeds, it should be used for charity. Whether it is road construction or village primary school construction, it is a good choice.

As for how excited and touched Kong Xueting was after getting Zhu Ge's agency, and how dedicated she was to doing charity, won't go into details.

At the end of October, Yu Gesang's new book was completed. As the first reader and editor, Ji Liuchuan showed an expression of interest when he saw the opening content.

"Cultural Missing World? Interesting."
