Just like the plot of a third-rate TV drama, at this critical moment, a cell phone ringtone suddenly rang, causing Xu Qin's face to suddenly stop as she got closer and closer.
It startled her, and she leaned back reflexively, almost falling to the ground. In panic, she quickly lowered her head to see where the ringtone was coming from. It came from the satchel she carried with her, and it was her own.
Ringtones.
He quickly looked up to see Sun Quan's reaction...
Sun didn't have much reaction. He just stopped snoring, frowned, smacked his lips, turned over from lying on his back to lying on his side, and grabbed a pillow and pressed it on his ears. This seemed to be
His instinctive reaction was to block out the ringtone of his mobile phone from the outside world, and he was unwilling to open his eyes and wake up anyway.
The ringtone of the cell phone was still ringing stubbornly. Xu Qin, who felt relieved, quickly stood up, grabbed her satchel, and hurried out of the room while hurriedly opening her satchel and taking out her cell phone.
I looked at the caller ID - cousin.
It was her cousin who ruined her good deeds.
Xu Qin ran out of the room with a red face and an expression of shame and annoyance. She rolled her eyes and answered the call.
"Hello? Qinqin, where are you? Are you busy?"
"Sister, I, I'm in the studio, what's wrong?"
"Do you have time in the evening? It's your brother-in-law's birthday today. I'm going to cook a table of delicious dishes. If you have time, come over and have some together! I guess you can't eat anything good at ordinary times. It's just a good time for me to make a big meal today.
Meal, come over and have a meal!"
…
It turned out that this was the case. After a while, Daqiao disappeared, and Xu Qin exhaled after answering the phone, returned to the bedroom with a sigh, and sat down gently on the edge of Sun Quan's bed.
Seeing that Sun Quan was still lying on his side with his back to her, the pillow still pressing on his ears, and his face could not be seen clearly, she blinked, then blinked again, and subconsciously stretched her right hand towards his shoulder.
, wanting to turn him over and continue her previous thoughts.
Can……
She was too timid, and when she was about to grab his shoulder, she stretched out her hand, hesitated, and then retracted it.
She was afraid that when she pulled him over, she would also wake him up.
Moreover, turning him over and kissing him... no matter how you think about it, it's a bit shameless, and even thinking about it makes me feel embarrassed.
The most important thing is that she felt in her heart that this was probably God's will, the God in the dark, using the method just now to remind her that there were some things she couldn't do.
Remind her...she and he are not destined to be together.
At this time, the impulse in her heart had faded, and her rationality had regained its upper hand. She thought of his wife Yuan Shuiqing, his daughter Sun Jiexin, and the child in his wife's belly...
Thinking of this, a wry smile appeared on her face.
Even if she was only compared to his wife Yuan Shuiqing, Xu Qin couldn't compare to her. Her height was much lower than hers, her looks were not as good as hers, and even her body curves completely defeated her.
What's more, they still have children as a bargaining chip.
Even academic qualifications...
She can't compare to Xu Qin, let alone her personality and temperament.
At this time, she was a little regretful that she did not have the appearance and figure of her cousin Rui Bingyan. If she had the figure and appearance of her cousin Rui Bingyan, maybe she could still compete.
Looking at Sun Quan who started snoring again, Xu Qin's face slowly lowered. This time she didn't lower her head to kiss him, but just lowered her head sadly.
She pursed her lips, sighed softly, stretched out her hand to help Sun Quan hold the air-conditioning quilt on her body, then stood up with her lips pursed, took a few steps, and turned around to leave.
…
During this sleep, Sun Quan slept until dusk before waking up.
When I woke up, my mind was still a little confused. I couldn't remember how I came back today. I only remembered how I got drunk.
He didn't remember what happened when he was drunk, and naturally he didn't know what Xu Qin had wanted to do to him, so he felt no burden. He opened his eyes and lay on the bed in a daze for a while, then got up and got out of bed to take a shower.
Taking a bath can refresh him and restore his clarity of mind.
That night, while video chatting with Yuan Shuiqing in his study, he told Yuan Shuiqing his plan to package and sell franchise rights and secondary licensing.
After hearing this, Yuan Shuiqing had no objection and was quite surprised.
She thought his plan was very good and agreed.
After finishing the video with her, Sun Quan opened the new book document, pondered for ten minutes, and began to write the outline of the new book.
Characters, main characters, character camps, background settings, story outlines, and the general plot of each plot loop...
etc.
Every time he opens a new book, it is a very tedious task for him.
Thousands of preparations need to be prepared step by step. The more you want to write a good book, the more detailed the preparations you need to do.
This not only tests his inspiration and amount, but also tests his patience.
Only a long time ago, during the first few years of his career, he opened each new book a little more relaxedly.
Because he knew little at that time, and no one told him what he needed to prepare before starting a novel. Therefore, every time he started a new book at that time, it was relatively simple. He usually just opened the document and pressed it.
Dry.
All the preparations are equal to none, and there is no foreplay.
Anyway, it’s hard work.
I write wherever I think, feeling like I'm stepping on the rind of a watermelon and sliding wherever I go.
That kind of simple and rough writing method has no technical content, but it always makes him immersed in it. He feels happy as the characters in the book are happy, and also sad as the characters in the book are sad.
And now?
The more he writes and the more he understands, the more he feels that he does not understand and is not good at more things.
For this reason, every time he opened a new book, he would not dare to start writing it without thorough preparation.
Even if you code the beginning of a book in advance, the main reason is to find the feeling and establish the character of the male protagonist through the plot.
…
The night is getting darker.
If there is really a pair of eyes above the starry sky staring at all living things in the world.
You will see that late at night, Sun Quan was sitting in front of the computer with his eyebrows furrowed, thinking from time to time, and from time to time his fingers were flying on the keyboard, typing out paragraphs of text, completely forgetting himself.
I also saw Xu Qin on a certain bed late at night... tossing and turning, finally opening her eyes in the dark night, lying on her back on the bed, staring at the ceiling in a daze.
You will also see Yuan Shuiqing sitting on the edge of the bed in a villa in Shanghai, lowering his head to feed his daughter night milk.
Naturally, we will also see that in this late night, in this late night, there are countless people who are still working silently, and countless people who are drunk and dreaming in entertainment venues...
There may be some illegal things happening in dark corners.
The appearance of all living beings, all living beings, are always in various shapes and forms, and each has its own way of living.
…
In front of the computer, Sun Quan is still writing the outline of a new book.
He is working on the fifth major plot point in the new book's outline.
The main character, or ghost, who appears in this big plot... is an Internet author who sits in front of the computer every night and codes until early in the morning.
He decided to imitate the style of his new supernatural book "Soul Ferry", but the plot and character settings all came from his own inspiration.
Many years of coding career have made him accustomed to writing about the industry he is familiar with when writing the plot of a book.
Because if it is an industry that is completely unfamiliar to him, he will not be able to write realistically. It will be difficult to write well if it is based on taking it for granted.
Especially the story background of the current new supernatural book. This is a supernatural novel with a modern city as the background. When reading this book, every reader will inevitably associate the background and characters in the book with the background.
connected with reality.
For works that will connect readers with reality, his experience is that they must be written as close to reality as possible, otherwise it will easily make readers confused.
And making readers confused means that his book will most likely be a hit.
That is of course what he wants to avoid as much as possible.
Only when he writes unconventional works such as fantasy and fairy tales, he does not think so much about being consistent with reality and writes about industries he is familiar with.
Why?
Because fantasy and fairy tales... readers have no real comparison object.
Everyone has never seen some magical professions, such as sword immortals, spiritual beasts, etc. When readers have no real objects to compare with, the test is the author's own imagination and writing skills.
As long as the author's writing power is sufficient and his imagination is richer than that of most readers, even if he makes up settings and plots at random, readers will not be surprised when they look at them.
As long as the author is more confident, makes the settings and plots he made up so serious, and treats the fake as real, then readers will feel it is realistic when they read it.
To put it simply, for things that are familiar to readers, the author should write them in a realistic way. For things that are unfamiliar to readers, the author can make them more realistic and have more room for free play.
The supernatural novel Sun Quan is preparing requires him to combine two writing methods.
The part that should be close to reality must be close to reality.
He can freely use his imagination in terms of "ghost" and "ghost"-related settings and plots.
The profession of Internet writer is something he is familiar with.
So when writing the outline plot of this new book, he set the identity of one of the main characters in the plot to be an online writer.
Moreover, this internet writer... is the ghost who makes a grand appearance in this big plot.
As a member of this industry, Sun Quan hopes that the outside world will have a better understanding of this industry. He cannot forget the misunderstanding and contempt the outside world had for their industry in the years before he was reborn.
There are always people who think that people in their industry are jobless and lazy, and many people think that online novels are garbage and are garbage books that poison children.
He hopes that he will write about this industry in this supernatural book. He hopes that one day after this book is adapted into a web drama, the audience will learn more about people in their industry and be more tolerant after watching this drama.
He hopes that more people can know that although people in this industry stay indoors and in front of computers every day, they are not escaping reality, being lazy... and avoiding work.
He wants more people to know that there were some Internet writers who suddenly died in front of the computer because they were coding until early in the morning every day, and no one found out for many days after their death...
