Eleven years of perseverance, and eventually become platinum.
Today China Literature announced the list of platinum greats, and Lao Ya is honored to be ranked among the thirty-nine platinums.
My heart was filled with emotions and emotions.
When Lao Ya was in high school in 2000, his favorite movies were Jin Yong, Gu Long, and Liang Yusheng... As long as they were martial arts, he would read them all. Because he had no money to rent books, he always borrowed books from others. Only after graduating from high school did he find out that the biggest book in the county
I rented a bookstore and read almost all of them. Of course, my studies were neglected, and my English was a mess. I ended up with a score of 40 in the college entrance examination, but my other scores were pretty good, with a total score of over 500. As a sports student, I should be among the top three in the county in the college entrance examination.
.Even Shandong, a major college entrance examination province, is pretty good.
My biggest dream in high school was to become an astronomer and English, which killed my dream. I settled for the next best thing and pursued another career I liked, a writer!
At that time, I was very naive. I used a pen to write tens of thousands of words on paper, called "Universe Superman", similar to Ultraman... I can't find it now.
When I was in college, I accidentally saw "The Magic Chef of Ice and Fire", which immediately opened up a new world. I never thought that I could write like this. Then, I watched Dong Ge's "Tomb of the Gods" and was deeply shocked. After that was Tomato's "Stars"
"Change", San Shao's "Qin Emperor", my blood boiled... (I met Tomato later and said... I grew up reading your books, which is super embarrassing... because I am older than Tomato, sweat)
When I learned that they were "platinum writers", a desire arose in my heart... I wanted to do it too!
In 2007, when I was a senior in college, I was faced with many things such as finding a job, so I wrote more than 200,000 words. Because it was nondescript, neither martial arts nor fantasy, I couldn't sign a contract, so I won't name it.
In 2008, I was not very happy with my job, which I didn't like, so I started writing "Yanhuang Jue". In fact, the early stage of this book imitated the plot of "Qin Emperor", and designed the protagonist to be born boneless... In the end, I didn't sign the contract, so I persisted.
With more than 400,000 words and no income, I had to give up.
In 2009, when naming "Dan Sheng Jie", I borrowed the popularity of Dong Ge's "Eternal Life World" and imitated Fang Xiangda's Ka Tu to write a world of Dan Nu and successfully signed the contract. However, the recommendation results were not good.
, and then I didn’t recommend it, so I dropped it again.
In July of the same year, I had a conflict with my boss, so I gritted my teeth and wrote "The King of Fighters: Another World", which was successfully released. The results were not very popular, but they were enough to support my family. I quit my job that month and devoted myself to writing books full-time.
In 10 years, my new book hit the streets, and I continued to write new books, and continued to hit the streets. I shamelessly called my original employer and asked for admission, but ended up going back to the first-year class. In the same year, I wrote "Iori Yagami", but my grades were not good, but luckily
, Taiwan Traditional Chinese Publishing.
At the end of 2010, the construction of the unit was completed and he was about to move to the next place. Lao Ya had just bought a house and was in love with his wife. He had to make a life decision and quit his job again.
In 2011, I wrote "Zhu Tian" and "The King of Fighters: Call from Another World", which was a mess on the Internet. The former was published in traditional Chinese in Taiwan to make ends meet. In September of the same year, I went to school as a substitute teacher, with a monthly salary of 1,500.
"Zhu Tian" has been written for two years, and the results on the Internet are not good. It is estimated that it is about ten years old, and it should not be more than twenty.
In 2013, I started a new book "Endless Dantian". At that time, I was working and saving the manuscript. The only reader was myself, so I gritted my teeth and saved 1.2 million words.
I planned to find a place to buy it out, but unfortunately, the other party only offered me 20 thousand words.
This incident stimulated me.
What I wrote is only worth 20?
I don't believe it!
Even if more than 20,000 yuan is wasted, you still have to prove yourself.
One cannot be arrogant, but one cannot be without pride!
I gritted my teeth and uploaded the starting point, and 46 updates were uploaded on the first day. At that time, Tieba was quite popular, and my Tieba exploded instantly. Many people came in and helped me repost. In an instant, the entire Tieba became very popular.
At that time, I had an illusion... that I was famous.
However, regardless of whether it is popular or not, life is gradually getting better.
It took three years to write Endless.
In 2016, someone gave me a price, which was two hundred for a thousand words for pure electronics. For me at that time, it was considered a good price.
That night, I thought about it for a long time and kept asking myself, what do I want?
If it's just for money, I can follow the trend. At that time, there were popular styles such as unlimited flow, prehistoric flow, farming flow, clone flow, and martial arts flow... Many of my friends who were together made money...
And I have never written.
Without him, I want to write something that belongs to me, and I don’t want to follow the trend.
Because, I...have a dream.
It’s been my dream since I learned about online writing!
And this dream can only be given to me by the starting point, and only the starting point can help me complete it, even if it is... difficult to walk here.
At this time, my job as a substitute teacher had already been approved as part-time job, so at least I no longer had to worry about going hungry.
Made a life choice again.
If you lose, what does it matter?
The worst case scenario is starting all over again!
Although, he is not young, although he is already over thirty-three, although he already has a child...
But...so what?
If you don’t stick to your dreams, you will regret it and be sad for the rest of your life. Anyway, if you don’t starve to death, you might as well try harder!
I want to win the highest honor in the online literary world, I want to be one of them, I want to realize my dream...even if it’s just to fetch water from a bamboo basket!
I want the books I write to no longer be unknown and no longer have any sound.
I rejected the other party, Qidian, and I’m back again!
In November 2016, a new book "Tiandao Library" was released.
then……
I made the right bet.
As soon as this book was released, it immediately became a hit, and its results exceeded my expectations.
Especially overseas, Qidian International Station has just been established. It is said that... at that time, my book supported the entire website, accounting for more than one-third of the traffic.
At the 2017 annual meeting, the entire overseas editorial team came to me and said "thank you" to me... I cried.
Really cried.
After so many years, I finally saw hope.
So, all kinds of honors came to greet him.
In 2017, Twelve Heavenly Kings, the most popular IP overseas, ranked fourth on China Literature’s annual list.
In 2018, he signed a contract with the Great God and joined the Chinese Writers Association.
In 2019, sign platinum.
This is the crown that I have envied and longed for since 2007... I finally got it.
On this day, I cried, I was excited, and I shared it with my family and readers.
After eleven years of writing, my persistence made me realize my dream.
Finally, I stand in this position and have this honor.
Thank you for reading, thank you all for supporting me along the way...
