This is the result of rewriting after I deleted it. Please review it.
The original content did not have so much foreshadowing before and during the game, and there was no character development. It started directly from Chapter 414 with the game against the Blue and White Munich, scoring goals, and breaking records. I think it was written like this because of the lack of foreshadowing. In fact, it was not refreshing, and it did not create any impressive characters. It was a complete waste of such an important game as the semi-finals.
At that time, it was because I wanted to finish the book and the plot would advance faster.
As a result, things went wrong faster and faster, and they fell into the gutter.
The game was very painfully written, with no passion or feeling.
After writing forcibly for half the game, I felt that I could not continue writing like this. After calming down and thinking seriously, I still had to return to my "original intention":
This book is not about how the protagonist Hu Lai pretends to be awesome, but about a world.
In this case, if there are no other characters with distinct personalities, their own thoughts, and different stories, then what is the point of shaping a world?
So delete and rewrite, slow down your thoughts, and repeatedly describe and shape different characters from multiple dimensions.
For example, Hantcek is a head coach with a personality who does not hesitate to leave his old club for the sake of his own future, and who does not hesitate to play the bad guy in front of the fans of his old club in order to win. Another example is adding the description of Becker's desire to win the Ballon d'Or...etc.
Write the two-round semi-finals as a game, and also as a complete story to conceive and describe it, with a beginning, a transition, a foreshadowing, a climax, an ending... everything is included.
These are actually what some readers call "water", and they are also the charm of the novel.
Everyone knows that Hu Lai is going to break the record, and even how to break the record has been guessed. But this is just the skeleton of the story.
This alone is not enough.
From Chapter 415 to Chapter 443, the thoughts, personalities, and details of the characters in this nearly 100,000 words are the meat and potatoes.
Without these meats to fill the skeleton, what's the beauty of just showing you a skeleton?
In this way, when everyone watches this plot, they will really feel happy when Hu Lai breaks the record, because the people and emotions in it are real and can give everyone a sense of empathy.
Instead of dryly writing that Hu Lai scored a goal, I wrote that Hu Lai broke the record. It's all about me telling you how, not what you can feel by yourself during the reading process.
Judging from the final results, I succeeded. Whether it is subscription, monthly ticket or chapter activity, this is proved.
So even though some people scolded me when I was laying the groundwork before the game, I will still insist on writing like this.
And in order not to affect everyone's reading experience, I will delete all comments that say shit. If the fans are only trainees, apprentices, and disciples and call me shit like this, then I will not only delete the post but also ban it. This is my previous comment. That's what I emphasized.
If you see that your comment about water is gone, don’t come and ask why you deleted the comment, because you are talking nonsense. If I don’t delete it, will you still have offspring?
This is not water, this is a novel, a world.
Seventy percent of the human body is made up of water, and seventy percent of the earth's coverage area is also water. People cannot live without drinking water, and life cannot be born in the world without water.
Therefore, my novels will definitely be "watery". These are my characteristics and strengths. I am proud of them and have no intention of changing them.
If you like it, watch it if you can accept it.
If you don't like it, if you can't accept it, don't watch it.
Everyone chooses both ways and is well on his own.
I believe that those who can read this are readers who have agreed and accepted it. Thank you for your support and understanding. It is the world we have shaped together.
This novel will be finished with almost over one million words left. According to my speed, maybe it will be finished by the end of this year or early next year.
Even in the final stage, I will always have the same attitude as when I first started writing this book. As long as there are parts that I am not satisfied with, I will delete and rewrite them, and take every plot seriously.
When the day comes when the book is finished, I hope that we can all look back on the past two years together and remember many scenes that made us smile, make our scalp numb, and feel reluctance and melancholy from the bottom of our hearts.
