I have finished the book, and I really have too many things to say, and I want to talk to you all.
Let’s start with the book “Section 9”. When this book entered the later stages, I took the time to think about what subject matter I should write about in the next book.
I thought about a lot of stories at that time, but I didn't feel very satisfied with them. Until I was about to finish the book, I accidentally thought of a topic that I felt very excited about because I had been paying attention to various news for a long time.
A line of words automatically appeared in my mind: "After the new era, resources will recover, regions will rise, and overseas Chinese will return home after three generations!"
This subject matter is a breakthrough and story-shaping point for me. First of all, I have never written an overseas story before, so there is room for development; secondly, I am very excited about such a story with a sense of historical significance.
of.
So, I consulted a lot of information and slowly perfected the story, which was the trailer posted on the public account at that time. The entire structure was prepared to see the big from the small, from the perspective of the bottom of Dragon City, and based on the association full of gangsterism.
, to describe the story of a generation of people gradually awakening and finally embarking on their return journey.
But unfortunately, this book has just started and its performance is improving by leaps and bounds. Several major channels have rejected it more than 30 times in a row. The reason is that it has a down-to-earth description of the bottom and the story structure of the association is sensitive, so it must be deleted and deleted.
Revise.
At that period, it was the stage when Su Tianyu, Yu Mingyuan and others were just starting their own business. The structure of the entire story had just been laid out. The competition with the "coding unit" was still going on, and the story's concept had only just begun to emerge.
If it were 50,000 to 60,000 words in the early stage, there would actually still be opportunities to make adjustments, but now that the story has reached 5,000,000 to 6,000 words, the structure and tone have been set. How to change it?
I had no choice but to reject it more than thirty times, and I also revised it more than thirty times. During that time, I often stayed up until four or five o'clock in the morning. Careful readers will also find many details in the book when they read it from the beginning.
There is no foreshadowing, and the job titles that cover various roles have also changed. You can't use a name that is too arrogant.
I have always believed that writing a book is like cooking. Each cook has his or her own unique taste. But with this change, the taste of Longcheng's dish has changed.
The development process of the association and the bottom layer cannot be described, which is equivalent to cutting off the core point of this book. There are some channels that cannot be accessed, and the buyout cost given to me by the platform is difficult to recover, so the number of words is limited. This book
The story will not be long enough.
The most important thing is! Many characters cannot be portrayed perfectly without down-to-earth descriptions, including the miner's son Tang Yao, his sister, Lu Feng, Wei Xiangzuo and others.
Their original plots were all buried in the story carrier of the association's struggle. If they were cut off, it would be difficult for the characters to stand up and make people moved. Including Liming Sheng, I originally planned to have him sacrifice on the way to his ideal, that is, in
When we contacted Lao Mo, the Huatong Association had not yet been completely established.
Then if he is gone at this time, Su Tianyu's character arc can be complete, and he can enter an extremely difficult situation and temper himself.
But it is a pity that if the entire story is to be shortened, the power system of the game between the enemy and ourselves in the book must be taken into consideration. Liming Sheng cannot die. Otherwise, Su Tianyu will not be able to achieve the final victory without his pillars and development process.
logic.
This is my biggest regret since writing a book. Storytelling is like stacking blocks. Only when the foundation is solid can the blocks be stacked steadily and high.
After entering the middle and later stages, I completely relied on more than ten years of writing experience to pull back the plot and trim the corners.
During that time, my mentality was really broken. Many old readers who are active in the book review area will probably also find that my mood is very unstable and I am on fire. But I really couldn't control it at that time, and my thinking and physical strength were seriously exhausted.
, feeling restless inside.
I always feel like I'm trying really hard, but I'm not being understood.
But later on, my wife became pregnant and there was a new child in the family. When I wrote about eternal life, I could also open up another kind of thinking, which was equivalent to relaxing my brain and my mood became much more stable.
Anyway, I would like to apologize to those readers who have argued with me. Don't be like me. During that time, when I looked in the mirror, I wanted to punch myself twice.
There must be some regrets about this book. According to my plan, I originally wanted to make a complete transformation to touch new themes after finishing Dragon City, but these changes have made this plan a little ahead of schedule.
For me personally, I know clearly that if a genre has a fixed readership, if you change it rashly, your performance will decline, and it may even affect your income.
But I still say the same thing, writing books, for me, is really to support my family, but at the same time, I always have a little vision, that is, I can write as long as I can.
, leaving behind some works.
It’s a work! It’s nothing else!
Transformation will burst out new inspiration and creative passion. Resting on one's laurels is just resting on one's laurels.
When I first wrote "Section 9", I had this idea in mind. Without boasting, no author of this genre dares to make such a big leap, but I do.
If you pounce, it’s just a matter of starting over from scratch!
Okay, after so much rambling, it’s time to say goodbye.
I know that many people only read works with similar themes, and many people may really want to leave and not even read online articles.
But no matter what, you are all old brothers, old friends, and old sisters who have been with me for ten years!
I sincerely say thank you to you. The ten years with you are the best ten years for me. From the age of 23 to 33, all my life is closely related to you.
Some people say that I have transformed and my youth is over. But I want to say that youth will end sooner or later, but the memory will always exist!
Thank you!! Love you!!
In the future, I will embark on a new journey, and I may try any subject matter or any genre.
Readers who are leaving, let’s say goodbye!
For readers who are still chasing eternal life, let’s keep going!!
That’s it!
