The answer to this question should be different in the eyes of different people. Some people definitely think that the experience of failure is valuable, and some people think that the experience of success is valuable. The experience of failure? If they all failed, what else is there for the experience?
value?
The benevolent sees benevolence, and the wise see wisdom!
Just like someone who regrets his failed relationship experience and feels that the tears he shed were all because of the poor sealing of his head and the water got in.
I usually don't want to mention it to anyone.
Some people are grateful to their exes who taught them what love is and how to love. They feel that if it weren't for the careful teachings of those exes, they would not be as happy as they are now.
In the field of online writing, where fame and fortune are both achieved, there will always be a very small number of authors who remain popular but not popular. Ninety-nine percent of the authors will become popular. The only difference is when they do so.
Some people keep fighting from the beginning until they become desperate and then quietly leave the industry.
Some people start by reading one or two books, and then gradually achieve some results, and then they get better and better, or they write again and again.
Those who are lucky or have high talent will gain both fame and fortune from the beginning. If they have the understanding and perseverance, they can continue to gain fame and fortune for many years. If they have poor understanding, or if they become popular but then fade away, the army of people will always be there to attack them.
Behind him, with open arms, he is welcome to join the street fighting army at any time.
Is Sun Quan highly talented? Or is he just lucky?
This is difficult to summarize, because if he had high talent and good luck, he would not have read so many books before being reborn. However, just when he had made some achievements, he encountered the most severe 404 wave in history and was slapped by the tide.
Die on the beach.
But it would be a bit inaccurate to say that he has very low talent and bad luck.
Because during his street life, he could occasionally write a book that made a little money and had a pretty good reputation.
If he is really unlucky, there are so many authors who have been 404ed, why are others not reborn, but he is reborn?
After his rebirth, he often thought about a question - was the experience of so many street fights before his rebirth valuable?
If so, what is the value?
If not, then have I wasted my youth by spending so many years on the street?
Deep down, he was very conflicted.
Both proud and inferior.
He is proud that his writing style is better than that of many authors, and he is also proud that he can hang on the crooked tree of the Internet for more than ten years, and he is still unwilling to give up and is still working hard. Sometimes he will be overwhelmed by his
Moved by persistence.
And his inferiority complex...
When he was young, he had low self-esteem. He was not as handsome as others, not as tall as others, and not as well off as others...
When he grew up, he no longer cared much about the above, but he began to feel inferior to himself. He always jumped on the street, and he felt inferior to all the rising stars who obviously entered the industry later than him, but they all surpassed his achievements, but he was powerless and could only watch.
Looking at it with envy.
Before he was reborn and before he wrote the book "My Decathlon", his inner world actually changed a lot.
At that time, he was already in his thirties, his house was still rented, his car was second-hand, he had no wife, no daughter-in-law, he didn’t know who he would give birth to, and his savings... In the eyes of some people, his little savings
Maybe it can only be said to be the balance.
He began to realize that he had no right to be proud. He finally took off the proud shell in his heart and looked directly at his inner world of inferiority.
He began to admit in his heart that I have no talent, my writing skills are just like that, I am not handsome, I have no money, I am dull, not interesting, I am just a loser of society. Stop dreaming of becoming a great writer and making a lot of money by writing novels!
Accept the reality! You don’t have the ability or the fate!
During that time, he stepped into the dust in his heart, one step after another.
Then, he began to think about making a little money, and instead of challenging subjects that he was not sure he could write about well, he would use his strengths and avoid weaknesses, and instead write a pure and refreshing novel with a simpler story structure and more realistic characters.
The principle he set for himself at that time was - be pure!
Pure cool writing!
Then after he pondered for a period of time, he wrote the book "My Decathlon", which is a very pure and entertaining book, so pure that it is difficult for readers who are not old enough to read it to find a so-called poisonous point in his book.
Then, the various data in this book surpasses any previous work by someone else.
Then, when this book was put on the shelves, the first order was more than 2,000, which was the highest order for a book since he entered the industry. After that, he got a taste of the feeling of making over 10,000 yuan a month.
From then on, his desire to become a god died, but his desire to make money was highly active. He began to try his best to please his readers with one exciting plot after another.
Facts have proved that he did quite well.
The subscription data for that book is getting better and better, and the monthly royalties of 10,000 yuan are also increasing month by month, and it is gratifying to be closer to the 20,000 level.
Many people who write online articles know that it is very difficult to maintain the quality of a published work. Most authors just write it down, but the plot or the character of the protagonist collapses, and then the subscription of the entire book
The data started to drop continuously.
And his Sun's book "My Decathlon" has written over 100,000,000 words, but there is no sign of collapse at all, and its reputation in the book review section is still excellent.
Why?
The reason is clear to him, because his experience in street fighting is so rich that when he writes each plot, his inner instinct will tell him - in which direction to write, there will be poisonous spots, which will lead to...
Readers are lost.
During that time, he clearly felt that he was making progress.
He increasingly feels that writing online articles is not that difficult if he just wants to make a little money?
…
However, the sky is unpredictable, and people are prone to misfortunes and blessings. The tide of 404 is irresistible, and the sudden rebirth is even more irresistible.
The book was suddenly closed, and he suddenly returned to 2006.
His understanding of writing was suddenly interrupted.
It wasn't until he started writing "My Decathlon" again that his state slowly returned. When he wrote "The Ring of the Immortal Dragon", he had more understanding in all aspects.
For example, one of my insights is - the larger the world background, the more you want to write well, the more you have to start from the small and see the big from the small.
Therefore, in the story of "The Ring of the Immortal Dragon", as the plot progresses, he unveils the whole world bit by bit, just like the old village saying goes, eat rice dumplings, eat them one by one and peel them off.
He didn't rush to introduce how big the background of the world was, nor did he rush to throw out various settings. He only released some relevant settings when the plot required it.
When he was preparing to write "The God-killing Sword in the Clouds", he still had this idea.
——You can see the big from the small! Eat a piece and peel a piece.
From the outline, he did this consciously.
The text part adheres to this principle.
Then, after the recent publication of this book, colleagues and book fans gradually discovered that Sun wrote this story very steadily.
After the setting of spiritual energy recovery was introduced at the beginning, when everyone was curious about what novel settings there would be in the world of spiritual energy recovery, Sun was not worried at all.
He devoted his pen and ink to the hero, and occasionally scattered his pen and ink to the characters around the hero Lin Yun. He even frantically spent a lot of pen and ink to describe the plot of Lin Yun's filial piety for his father after a car accident.
Many readers were impatient and begged him in the book review section and in book fan groups to advance the plot faster and stop writing about such trivial matters.
But no one scolded him for his bad writing.
Because he wrote many highlights in the process of describing the male protagonist's filial piety to his father.
For example, the actor Lin Yun's simple filial piety, concern and care for his sister, his responsibility to support the entire family on his own as a teenager, and his father's attempt to commit suicide in order to reduce his burden...etc.
Through every little thing, Mr. Sun established several characters in the hero's family.
The father is kind and the son is filial. The elder brother takes care of his younger sister. The younger sister is very sensible and does her best to take care of the housework at home and save money on food and clothing, but does not tell her elder brother. She just hopes not to increase his burden.
Readers are also human beings, and what can impress them is not only novel ideas, huge and gorgeous world backgrounds, and thrilling, imaginative and impactful fights, but also delicate and warm descriptions of family affection, as long as they are written well enough
, readers will also be moved.
Of course, as a work about spiritual recovery.
Sun Quan has not forgotten another selling point of this genre that is different from traditional urban literature.
——Fighting!
In a spiritual recovery story, the protagonist will inevitably become more and more powerful as the spiritual energy of the whole world recovers. And if the male protagonist becomes more and more powerful, what's the point if he doesn't arrange exciting enough fight scenes?
It's not fun if the hero has no place to play.
So in the first tens of thousands of words, Sun also interspersed two fighting scenes for the male protagonist.
One was an underground black boxing fight to collect money for his father's surgery.
The other one was to resist the robbery of his boxing match appearance fee by someone with malicious intentions.
For the two fights, Sun Quan used 120% of his skills to set up and describe the fights. The results were okay and the response from readers was quite good.
This shows that before he was reborn, the few fighting novels he wrote were not in vain.
After all, there are things he is good at.
If the fight scene can't be written well, his previous book "The Ring of the Immortal Dragon" can't be written well either.
…
For the next period of time, Mr. Sun concentrated on writing every day, and occasionally distracted himself from other things. For example, "The Legend of Wukong" was finally signed by Fu Lei.
He didn't even know how Fu Lei persuaded the original author.
The author actually agreed to pay the copyright fee in installments, and the film and television adaptation rights fee of 300,000 yuan was paid in three installments?
That afternoon, when Fu Lei came to his office to report the matter, Sun stared at her for a long time, feeling quite impressed.
Afterwards, he somewhat figured out why the author of the original work was persuaded by Fu Lei to agree to a copyright fee of 300,000 yuan and paid it in three installments.
——Maybe it's because "The Legend of Wukong" has too few words, the full text is only a few hundred thousand words? So the author himself doesn't think it's possible for this book to sell film and television rights, right?
