From the beginning to the present, the character creation of the protagonist Zhou Zheng basically meets expectations.
After writing two male protagonists, I decided to try to create some male protagonists with weaker uniqueness. The result of this is that the supporting characters seem more vivid, vivid and memorable than the protagonists.
My Brother Zhou is completely different from Wang Sheng, Gou Zi and Wang Zai.
I would like to apologize to Brother Zhou here.
It must be said that this is a difference in the direction of conception and expression, and it does not mean that I do not write carefully.
On the contrary, I put more effort into this book than most of my previous works.
It's just that the pace was slowed down in the early stages, the pretentious plot was not used, and the non-traveling elements were weak and refreshing, resulting in results that were not as good as many readers expected.
Everyone seems to care more about grades than me, the author. I actually opened the backend data interface twice after I started the book, because I knew that this kind of writing was not pleasing to the eye and had no market.
My expectation for this book was only RMB 5,000 to RMB 6,000, but I didn’t expect that the first order was quite high, and it’s all thanks to the support of readers.
Why did you write this book called Heavenly Court? And why did you inject so many elements of senior brothers into this book?
The first is that I promised my senior readers that I would write Journey to the West, but I never knew how to start. Journey to the West is not a romance about the gods, it is a science.
Moreover, my senior brother wanted to publish the book "The First Heavenly General" directly after finishing it, but later it was not published as "The Human Immortal", which has always been a little regretful.
Heavenly Court, also known as the First Heavenly General, is the sister chapter of Senior Brother.
I have prepared two Robust 2 books before, one is the one about the dragon egg in the cave, and more than ten old readers have seen my first draft. The other is with Li Zhiyong as the protagonist, bringing the character of Robust and the male protagonist into the framework of the modern urban background.
Later, I felt that it was boring to repeat myself, and it was just bad news, so I deleted the latter, and then assigned Zhiyong to be the second male lead in the story of Heavenly Court.
Jian Jian 2 is about Li Changshou's apprentice, so there is basically no creative difficulty.
The second is that after I finished writing Brother, I seemed to be kidnapped, kidnapped by the market, kidnapped by readers’ expectations, and kidnapped by the so-called fan effect. I began to study reader psychology and readers’ expectations, fearing that I would lose popularity, and then
Gradually, I could no longer feel the joy of creation, my nerves gradually became numb, I kept doubting myself, and fell into a somewhat gloomy psychological environment. I became irritable and lacked energy. I felt that there was no direction in life, and my mood continued to be gloomy.
In the later stages of Xian's creation, when I had a back injury and couldn't sleep all night, what made me even more unbearable was the mental pain.
So at the end of Renxian, I stubbornly did not announce the reunion of Lin Suqing and Wu Wan, leaving a semi-open ending that readers did not like.
So I wrote "Yu Guang" despite everyone's objections, even though I knew that Yu Guang was a very young debut novel in the entire writing circle and a young girl who should not be exposed to others.
So I stubbornly slowed down the pace of the early stage of Heavenly Court, trying to find my own pleasure in writing bit by bit.
In the past few months, I have gradually regained my love for writing.
Just like Zhou Zheng’s little tricks for mobilizing yang energy.
Otherwise, I'm afraid I will really suffer from depression.
I can tell it now because the creation process of millions of words in front of the heaven can be regarded as a redemption for myself.
I became nervous.
Third, the story conflicts are simply and roughly divided into two categories, which can be summarized as the conflict between [the protagonist and the environment], and the conflict between [the protagonist and himself]. Almost all online articles focus on the former. I want to try
By using different writing methods, we have a growth-oriented protagonist. The so-called growth lies in further digging into the protagonist's inner struggle.
But I soon realized that the reading environment of online articles was not suitable for such creation.
What gentlemen always like to watch are high-conflict plots, which are fun and relaxing. My pursuit of these in online articles goes against the market environment. If readers are lost, the author will also lose his foundation. For online article authors,
It loses its basic meaning.
The direction I want to work hard is not to make it cool and pursue literary quality, but how to balance the relationship between the coolness, concept, and plot.
However, the current tone of the book Heavenly Court cannot be changed. It must start from the beginning and not give up halfway. Moreover, I have written the finale of Heavenly Court a long time ago. You can rest assured that it is a satisfactory ending. Now there is only one creative goal left.
Write about Journey to the West.
Write your own version of Journey to the West!
This is my current creative ideal as a fairy tale author!
Moreover, this book has paved the way for millions of words, just for the next "Star Journey". I have laid out the general environment, overall structure, past stories, character creation, and motivations for embarking on the road to the stars.
Just a little lack of confidence.
In fact, this challenge is extremely huge.
I also said in my acceptance speech that this book may be long or short, it all depends on how much inspiration I have.
In fact, it refers to Journey to the West.
I’m not sure I can write it well at all!
It is inevitable that you will lose subscriptions when you change the map, but constantly changing the map... Travel novels and road novels are a dead end in the online literary environment, bro, cute...
That's all, let's earn some royalties and come back to the next book. Senior Brother Renxian's royalties are enough to support his family for the time being, so let's satisfy his creative impulse first.
Readers who want to read cool articles, please be patient. I will work hard to earn royalties for my next book.
After all, I write full-time and have to shoulder the responsibility of raising my wife and daughter. I understand this.
Well, don’t expect too much from the Star Tour chapter. As you all know, I studied "Smart Application of Detailed Spot Welding Techniques on Circuit Boards" in college - Electronic Engineering. In my sophomore year, I started learning how to program and solder circuit boards.
, decisively started writing novels.
To put it simply, my cultural background is not enough, so I can only write a fake Journey to the West in the form of an online novel.
Just like before choosing which work to publish, I discussed it with my wife when I was under great pressure (whether to continue the fast pace of the male protagonist or choose to try to create works such as Heavenly Court).
Me: Wife, I want to write about Zhou Mo (changed his name to Zhou Zheng because the black dog refers to him). I can see the finale, but I may not earn much royalties.
Wife: You can spend as much as you earn. When you were pregnant, you also drank white porridge every day. As long as you don’t regret your poor grades and say why you didn’t post the dragon egg version, then go ahead and write it. I’ll do it if you don’t have good grades.
Earn royalties to support you.
Me: Then I really wrote it.
Wife: As long as you don’t regret it, it’s fine. I didn’t write it.
Me: I am a god, I will open the book tomorrow.
Ah, in the blink of an eye, it’s already a million words.
Writing is a great job.
Gaining readers is the best recognition for your work.
Thank you to the readers who can read the end of this volume. Don’t worry. I have thought a lot during this period and have come out of the edge of depression. I will work hard to write better stories and move towards a further literary journey.
The road and writing ideal are constantly moving forward.
