Chapter 382 Style Problems and Finished Decoration
With the emergence of the above inspirations, Sun Quan's inspiration for new books began to emerge.
One by one, he wrote the key information with a pencil on the manuscript paper. In order to capture the fleeting inspiration as quickly as possible, his hand speed increased to an astonishing level. Correspondingly, the words he wrote at this time,
There is no beauty at all.
There are dragons and phoenixes dancing in the air, and the writing is extremely scrawled.
Everything is just to capture the inspiration that may be forgotten at any time.
He wrote for more than an hour at a stretch, and after writing more than ten pages of manuscript paper, he breathed a sigh of relief and stopped writing.
For more than an hour, the information he wrote was very messy, including information about the background of the world, about the characters in the book, plot information about scales and claws, and names of some magical skills.
, moves, etc.
The theme is the revival of spiritual energy. Since the spiritual energy has been revived, there will definitely be some magical skills and so on.
However, if I want to write this book well and wonderfully, the accumulation of inspiration in these ten pages is still not enough, far from enough.
He needs to enrich the world background of this story, not only the modern world in the book, but also construct two other world backgrounds.
One is a legendary mythical world, and the other is a world of mysterious forces that can kill gods and Buddhas all over the sky.
To put it simply, for this book, he needs to construct the world background of three worlds.
This part alone is a lot of work.
Of course, if you want to be lazy, you can just not structure the background of these three worlds in advance, but when you actually start writing the text later, you may encounter various situations, and the entire story may collapse at any time.
"Do it slowly!"
Sun Quan put down the pencil in his hand, looked at the words on the manuscript paper, moved his sore fingers, and muttered softly.
It was only then that he noticed that the title of the book he had just chosen - "Zhu Xian Sword in the Clouds" contained the word "Zhu Xian", and a popular fairy tale "Zhu Xian" had appeared a few years ago.
Sun Quan frowned.
If I choose such a title for my new book, many people will think that I am riding on the popularity of "Zhu Xian", right?
He really didn't want to take advantage of the popularity of any book just now.
With the popularity of his current pen name "Xianyu Anlaosun", he really doesn't need to ride on other people's popularity when he writes a new book.
Moreover, "Zhu Xian" is a fairy tale, while the "Zhu Xian Sword in the Clouds" he just thought of is a work about spiritual energy recovery in the context of modern society. The subject matter classification of the two books is different.
Want to change your name?
Sun Quan frowned and pondered. After thinking for a while, he shook his head slightly, not wanting to change.
Because he really likes the name "The Immortal Killing Sword in the Clouds". The immortal who emerged from the clouds was killed by a mysterious sword...
This is the most satisfying point of inspiration he just thought of. Just imagine: in modern society, one day we inadvertently look up and see a huge figure of a god appearing in the clouds in the sky, and then we are surrounded by a mysterious giant.
Killing with a sword, isn’t the scene shocking?
And after such a vision in the sky appeared, the whole world began to quietly revive spiritual energy. Doesn't it seem more reasonable that some young people with excellent qualifications were taught mysterious skills in their dreams?
Zhu Xian in "Zhu Xian" refers to a sword named "Zhu Xian".
But the Zhu Xian in his book "Zhu Xian Sword in the Clouds" really kills the gods.
Mr. Sun had no intention of riding on anyone's popularity, but he also didn't want to deliberately change the title of a book he liked very much in order to avoid being suspected of riding on others' popularity.
Let others say whatever they like!
Anyway, you can't stop someone's mouth when it's on someone else's face. As long as my fans read the content of this book, they will naturally know that I don't mean to take advantage of anyone's popularity.
With these thoughts running through his mind, Sun Quan made up his mind and stopped worrying about the title of the book.
In the following days, because of the end of the year, Yuan Shuiqing went to the company more frequently.
She needs to attend some of the company's year-end meetings.
She also needs to make decisions on some year-end reward standards, selections and other tasks.
Cai Yanan followed Yuan Shuiqing all day long, but Sun Quan was not worried about Yuan Shuiqing's safety.
He himself still goes to the study every day.
When I was writing the manuscript of "The Immortal Dragon Ring", I spent most of my time in the study room perfecting the outline of "The Immortal Killing Sword in the Clouds".
Because this title is suspected of riding on the popularity of "Zhu Xian", Sun Quan was very careful when perfecting the outline of this new book.
He believes that if he wants to clear up the suspicion that his book's title is gaining popularity, he must do one thing - that is, the book's popularity and reputation must be publicized, otherwise his book will be suspected of gaining popularity from others.
It can never be washed clean.
But he knew very well that it would be difficult to surpass the quality and reputation of "Zhu Xian".
He Sun asked himself that he really couldn't do the ancient writing style of "Zhu Xian". He was not good at it and had never written in that style.
So here comes the question - since it is difficult for him to surpass "Zhu Xian" in terms of writing style and reputation, how can he clear himself of the suspicion of trying to gain popularity?
Exploit strengths and avoid weaknesses, find new ways!
This was a method he came up with after thinking about it for a long time.
He is indeed incomparable to that kind of ancient style of writing, but why should he compare with that style of writing in "Zhu Xian"?
"The Immortal Sword in the Clouds" is a story set in the context of modern society! What kind of ancient style of writing is needed?
Since "The Immortal Sword in the Clouds" is a story in a modern setting, it can be developed in a down-to-earth, humorous and interesting direction.
"Zhu Xian" is full of ancient meanings, so I used the most life-oriented words to write this new book. The more down-to-earth the better, which will increase the readability and sense of immersion of the book.
If you work hard in the direction of humor and fun, and try to make each chapter more interesting, you should have good results.
These are just matters of writing style. Regarding the skeleton of the book, Sun Quan still intends to structure the main plot of the book according to the orthodox method of beginning, succession, transition and conclusion.
To put it simply, it is to use humorous words to write a very serious and serious story.
He wants to be completely different from "Zhu Xian" in terms of type and style.
As for whether it is possible to write such an effect?
Mr. Sun still had some confidence in his heart.
Because his writing style in recent years has been like this.
From "My Decathlon" to "The Ring of the Immortal Dragon", he has tried his best to use relaxed, witty and humorous words to write plots and create characters.
Facts have already proven that there is a market for his writing style, and readers will buy into it. Otherwise, those two books would not have achieved the results they have achieved so far.
The days at the end of the year pass slowly at this pace.
On January 20, five days before New Year's Eve, when Sun Quan went downstairs to have breakfast with everyone, Fu Lei told him something.
She had just picked up her chopsticks and was about to drink porridge when she saw Sun Quan coming down from upstairs and sitting down next to Yuan Shuiqing. Fu Lei stopped her chopsticks and said to him: "Mr. Sun, the hard decoration of our studio has been completed.
The decoration company asked us to check and accept it today. If there is no problem, they hope that we can settle the last decoration payment as soon as possible. After all, the Chinese New Year is coming soon. Do you think you have time to go over and take a look today? "
"Is it finished?"
Sun Quan was a little surprised.
Yuan Shuiqing and others also looked at it in surprise.
Fu Lei smiled and said, "Yes, the bathroom sink was installed yesterday evening, and the hard decoration part is completely completed."
Yuan Shuiqing nodded slightly and turned to look at Sun Quan, "How about you take some time to check and accept it today?"
Sun Quan hummed, "Okay! Then you can notify the people from the decoration company to come over in a moment! We will check the acceptance on site. If there is no problem, it is not impossible to settle the balance for them on the spot, but the prerequisite is that they can do their job well.
no problem."
Fu Lei: "Yes, I understand! Then I'll call their person in charge and tell them to leave now."
As Fu Lei said that, she took out her mobile phone and stood up and walked out of the door, obviously planning to go out and make that call.
Sun Quan smiled and did not stop him.
At the end of this year, he was not short of money, although a few months ago, he had just used his family's funds to buy a villa in Shanghai, and at that time almost all the money he had on hand was lost.
But in the following months, his monthly manuscript fees have soared, and the mobile reading base has paid him higher and higher in recent months.
This month, in addition to the normal royalties, there is also the semi-annual bonus for the past six months. In the past few days, he received nearly 400,000 yuan in one lump sum.
Moreover, the braised chicken company under his and Yuan Shuiqing's name has also made him a lot of money in recent months. If he needs it, he can go through the procedures at any time and deduct it from the company's accounts.
Therefore, if the decoration company does the decoration work for him without any problems and the balance of the decoration payment is settled, there will be no pressure on him.
…
After the meal, Sun Quan stood up and greeted Fu Lei, "Yiren! Have you eaten? After eating, let's go take a look first! Just wait for the people from the decoration company to come over while watching."
Fu Lei didn't eat much and had already finished eating. After hearing this, she immediately stood up and said, "Okay! Let's go there now!"
"Wait a minute! I'll take a look with you too."
Yuan Shuiqing also stood up and said he wanted to take a look.
Naturally, Sun Quan had no objection, and he put his arm around her shoulders and walked out. Cai Yanan hesitated for two seconds and followed. She was used to following Yuan Shuiqing wherever he went.
…
Several people came to the new villa.
As soon as he entered the door, Sun Quan saw an empty place.
But the emptiness in front of you is different from the emptiness in the rough stage. The emptiness in front of you means that you don't see any furniture, because those are soft furnishings.
Currently, only the hard decoration part has been completed, and Fu Lei needs to purchase and decorate the soft decoration part.
As for what is hard decoration?
Water, electricity, floors, walls, ceilings, bathrooms, etc., and parts that have nothing to do with furniture and home appliances are basically hard decoration.
What Sun Quan saw at this time was - the ground was all covered with dark gray composite flooring, the walls were covered with putty powder and painted with latex paint, there were no chandeliers on the ceiling, but some large and small chandeliers were installed above...
