After ascending to the immortal world, he was allowed to enter the Immortal Lord's Palace and be influenced by the talent of the Immortal Lord Wenqu. Because of this, he was also one of the first Confucian practitioners to come into contact with mobile phones.
After learning about the wonderful uses of mobile phones and Tomato Novels from Immortal Wenqu, he couldn't wait to delve into the novels in Tomato Novels.
As he looked at him, he kept shaking his head, his face full of disgust.
"It turns out that people outside have been reading articles like this all the time. Surprisingly, there are tens of billions of people reading this kind of article."
"If I write my article, wouldn't more people read it?"
"Let me give the outside literary world a little shock. Maybe one day I can enter the realm of the Golden Fan Palace."
After that, he registered an author account for himself, and then published one of his famous works according to the book publishing process.
His famous work only has 3 words, but in his opinion, every word is a gem and every paragraph contains profound truth, so he is very confident.
After successfully uploading the book and signing the contract, he quietly waited for his book to be discovered.
However, half an hour passed and there was no movement in the background, and the same thing remained the same after an hour.
"Strange? Why hasn't anyone reviewed my book?"
At this moment, he suddenly saw a red dot appear on the backstage comments.
"Great! Finally someone wrote me a review! Let me see what this person has to say about my book."
After saying that, he clicked on the red dot, but when he saw the content of the comment, he felt terrible.
"What the hell is this? It's pure shit. I'll give you a five-star review and send it to you in five installments."
"This...this...is disgraceful, absolutely disgraceful!" Cheng Dong was so angry that he was shaking.
"I just can't believe that no one appreciates my writing!"
He continued to wait, and after a while he received the second comment.
"Author, you write very well, but I think you should stop writing. What you should do now is to practice well."
Then came the third comment, the fourth comment, the fifth comment...
"The book is well written. Since I don't want others to find such a good book, I decided to report you and have it removed from the shelves. You're welcome. This is the right thing to do."
"No, I read novels to relieve stress. Your book, author, puts me under a lot of pressure. I'm giving you one star. I hope you'll learn a lesson."
"I'm a dog demon. Your book excites me. It perfectly solves the problem of not being able to eat shit on my phone."
......
All the comments were full of insults, which made Cheng Dong start to doubt his life.
"How could this happen? Are they saying that the article I wrote is not good?"
"No, it's definitely not that my book is bad, it's that they have no taste. That must be it."
"I'll upload another book of mine, and I just don't believe it will be the same."
After that, he uploaded another article he had written before, but the result was the same.
Looking at the all-negative reviews, he began to doubt his life.
"Forget it, I won't write anymore. Those people out there don't even understand what an article is!"
In anger, he was about to throw his phone away. At this moment, Wenqu Immortal, who was holding a phone, passed by. Seeing his expression, he immediately walked up to him.
"Cheng Dong, why are you so impatient?"
Hearing these words from Immortal Lord Wenqu, Cheng Dong first stood up and saluted, and then explained his situation.
"Immortal Lord, I don't think this free tomato novel is suitable for us Confucianists."
"Oh? Why do you think so?" Wenqu Immortal Lord asked with a smile.
"Those readers above simply can't understand my article."
"Then have you ever thought about this question: who is the reader of the article?"
"This..." Cheng Dong looked confused.
"Articles are written for the public to read. If they can only be appreciated by oneself, what kind of article is it? Isn't the purpose of an article to convey your thoughts to others? Why do you have to stick to the genre of the article?"
"Good literary works should be accepted and enjoyed by more people, bring value to others, and serve the vast number of living beings in the universe."
"Yesterday, like you, I thought the novels on Tomato Novel were all rubbish, but after taking a closer look, I found that these novels also have a deep core hidden under the straightforward writing style."
"If you can't change the readers of the universe, then you can only change yourself. If you can write an excellent novel that becomes a Golden Fan, a masterpiece, then you will be qualified to have readers accommodate you."
After listening to the guidance of Wenqu Immortal Lord, Cheng Dong suddenly felt as if he had suddenly realized something.
"Immortal Lord, I understand, but how can I write a novel as captivating as other novels?"
"It's very simple, just two words - scan the list and see what others write."
"I understand." Cheng Dong nodded. Just at this moment, he inadvertently saw the mobile phone screen of Wenqu Immortal Lord.
On the screen, a woman with a graceful figure was twisting her waist.
"Immortal Lord? Why are you reading such a disgraceful thing?"
"What's insulting?" Wenqu Immortal Lord said seriously. "If your heart is not right, everything you see will be distorted. You should know that understanding the world is knowledge, and understanding human nature is writing. This video is full of knowledge."
He casually clicked a like, and then sighed: "With this Douyin, it is true that a scholar can know everything in the world without leaving home."
"Alright, you study on your own. I'm going to go and prepare the bookstore. Write your novels well and earn some immortal stones. Only then will I have enough to publish my own books in the future."
After saying this, Wenqu Immortal Lord floated away, and Cheng Dong began to scan the list seriously.
"Just wait, it's just a novel. Once I become famous for my novels, I'll continue writing my previous articles. I don't believe that a Confucian cultivator like me can't write better than you ordinary people!"
The same thing happened to other immortals in Wenqu Immortal Palace.
After being defeated by readers, they deeply realized that if they want their books to be popular, they cannot write what they want to write, but must write what readers like to read. After all, writing novels can also gain talent and fame, and it is the same goal in different ways.
When I make money from writing novels, I will publish my own physical books and put them on the shelves of Xinghua Bookstore.
When they actually started writing online novels, they soon tasted the sweetness. Even though their stories were very clichéd, they still earned more than they had earned from writing articles before.
The most important point is that they finally don’t have to be scolded anymore, but instead will receive praise from readers. After all, although their stories are poor, their writing style and choice of words and sentences are top-notch.
In an instant, Wenqu Immortal Palace also set off a wave of national creative enthusiasm, and a large number of Confucian practitioners joined the ranks of Tomato to attain enlightenment.
However, not all Confucianists are suitable for Tomato. For example, those Confucianists who are good at painting, seeing that group of scholars harvesting a lot of talent from Tomato, they stamped their feet in anxiety.
Even if they show their paintings on Douyin, they don’t get much traffic.
At the same time, Yao Yue Xianjun was also reporting to Lin Ye his idea of creating a paper man love game.
