I got up yesterday afternoon. I spent the whole night time-coding about 16,000 words. I finished Hidden Kill. I must be very tired, but I woke up again after an hour of sleep. I couldn’t sleep. This is the first book I’ve finished.
This novel took two years and two million words. Many authors I know have already published several books and have written several times the amount of words I have. I am still struggling a little bit, especially when it comes to writing.
After the seventh volume, I started to dig out what I wanted to write little by little. Now that it is finally finished, it’s hard to explain clearly how I feel.
Let's start from the end first, and slowly talk as much as we can. After we finish talking, maybe we can go to sleep.
First of all, the ending is not perfect - it is far from the picture I had imagined in my mind, but it is not a bad ending, it is not bad enough to be a bad ending.
I write a book without an outline - no written outline - and I have told people about this more than once. Therefore, sometimes when what I write is different from what some people predict, it is not accepted by them.
Sometimes, they would say, I must have finished it in a hurry, or in a hurry, I wrote some extraneous things that should not be included. This has been said since a long time ago. It was probably when Liu Zheng died.
It means that I have nothing to write about. Random Killing brought up the plot. When Tumor broke up, he said that I wanted to finish the whole article in a hurry. The end of the seventh volume was the most controversial. In the summary of the seventh volume, I mentioned the beginning.
The picture in my mind only reached Jia Ming Zai Hai, and some people said that my eighth volume was just to make up the number of words to make money. This ending was said to be a last-minute idea because there are still many things that have not been explained...
In fact, it is these things. The outline has always been very clear, but as for the details, how to step on people and how to cause a small climax, I always start to think about it when I start writing.
Okay, complaining, actually this is complaining. Some people say that I am a writer who writes purely for myself and will not be moved by readers at all. Sometimes I pretend to be like this. In fact, it is not the case.
, I am actually very susceptible to the influence of comments. I have made fine adjustments to many sections. The reason why I do not change the major plot is because I know that once I change it, I will be finished.
The ending of "Hidden Kill" was imagined after many times, although it was not the best in execution. The problem is that some fighting scenes that should belong to Ji Mingshi were eliminated. This problem. In fact, I learned from the eighth volume
The mentality has to do with positioning.
The eighth volume of Hidden Killing is a sublimation of the plots of the first seven volumes. Well, I know that sublimation is a complimentary word, and when I use it, I feel like I am selling melons. But in terms of positioning, it is a sublimation of the first seven volumes.
It is difficult for me to make an accurate assessment of whether the eighth volume is a success or whether it is an improvement over the previous seven volumes, because the eighth volume is in two different formats from the first seven volumes. Some people will not even need the eighth volume.
For this sublimation, they only need the relaxation and warmth of the first seven volumes - or the first six volumes to relax. For example, some people may think that I can't find the feeling of the first seven volumes in the eighth volume.
Is it a failure? Some people say that in the eighth volume, stealth killing really improved to a higher level. There is no distinction between taste and demand. The only difference lies in who the positioning I made is suitable for.
The first seven volumes of Hidden Killing are simple things. We can laugh heartlessly when we see that thing, even if it does not require too much foreshadowing and background. It is still how they are relaxed and warm, but the eighth volume
It depends on the first seven volumes for survival. Without the first seven volumes, there would be no eighth volume. I tried to constantly arouse people's emotions in the eighth volume and let everyone look back. These things must be combined with the memories of the first seven volumes.
will be meaningful.
I think about what I am mainly writing about: Lingjing’s life in Vienna, Lingjing’s reaction after hearing the truth after returning home, what she said to Julian, “I really want to see him”, “He is my man”
, Breathing Pain, Shasha’s “We are all fools”, Yahan’s best winter, Kaoru’s “Sakura”, Heidi’s crying. That’s basically it.
Look, these are all sad plots, but they are the climax, the light that condenses the plot of the entire book. Is there no meaning to write? Do you want to make up the word count? No, but it is not a success. I
No bottom, no matter how many people criticize August Fire, I can say that I did a good job, but I have no confidence in the success of these plots. The subscription has not dropped, but I don’t know if it is the inertia of the past or I am really
After expressing these, many people who read the book at the starting point do not need this kind of reflection, so I am not sure how big the audience is.
There is a popular plot, the reunion of Jiaming, Lingjing, and Shasha, but I failed. Although it seems unsatisfactory now, it was actually my failure. It was completely different from the reunion I imagined. From the beginning
You understand that I am a person with a small structure. I keep trying to challenge the big scenes and keep failing. The dangerous city at sea, the bloody carnival, the hunt for the earl, and even the reunion, all of them failed. The only one who tended to succeed was just
August fire.
After the failure of the reunion, I actually didn’t arrange a big fight scene in the reservation to give Jiaming a chance to shine. Oh, back to say, there was actually some. What is the scheduled tenth volume? I really like to watch Resident Evil or Wasteland.
During the period when Jia Ming was writing earthy articles very smoothly, I watched the vampire movie "Thirty Years of Evil", so I imagined that if Jia Ming was in a closed town, he would have brought a
Lingjing and Shasha were traveling, but the vampire Niu B came and plunged the town into deathly silence. People were turned into puppets. Jiaming held a knife and wanted to protect Lingjing and Shasha. What would happen?
Woolen cloth?
I planned to use a whole volume to write something like this. It does not need to express anything or promote any plot. It is just because I like Jiaming as an image and character. I put him into a
After the environment, the whole article describes fighting and killing. You can imagine the actions of August Fire, you can imagine Jian Suyan's posture, hacking people, demolishing houses, chopping melons and vegetables, and heads flying around. Haha, I am very excited to think about it.
, but it requires control and descriptive skills to really write it down. I don’t know if I’ll be able to write it out for you to see in ten years.
In short, due to various reasons, this idea was abandoned.
Let’s talk about Baoshu and Suyan.
I told people a long time ago that during the period when I was depressed when writing my diary, I was imagining a new book. At that time, there was an idea that appeared together with Hidden Killing. I made a choice between the two ideas, and finally chose
Another idea is to describe the natural evolver in "The Treasure Tree, The Treasure Tree".
What should the picture of this book be? A scene of an innocent child holding a box under the eaves when it rains. There is a monster in the box. The child carries her around every day. Some people see the child always holding the box.
It feels strange to walk in the city, but no one knows the truth. The child's living conditions are not good. He has great power, but he does not use this power to take things that do not belong to him. He is always happy and content with himself.
He was alive, surrounded by his monster companions. He was standing under the eaves. He was half wet. Behind him was a high-end coffee shop. Through the glass window, the people inside were almost in two different worlds from him. He would also
He is envious, but not lost. He does not feel that he is compared to anyone else.
Jian Suyan is the monster in his box. In the end, the ugly duckling will of course turn into a white swan. The prince kissed the frog, and the frog became a princess. So when I introduced the concept of natural evolution into Hidden Killer, one day, he and
Jian Suyan's true identity is bound to appear.
The power level of natural evolution is really far from the level of the hidden world. Therefore, if they want to show up without destroying the balance, I can only put it at the end. A shocking appearance, a shocking glimpse. And then leave again.
Appeared. The ending was planned a long time ago, and it is like this. I also left some foreshadowing a long time ago. For example, when Jian Suyan appeared for the first time, she knew Jiaming, why didn’t she go to Jiaming to cause trouble? No one could guess
Jian Suyan's words. Haha, "So you saw my prototype." Because she felt that she was the fake, she was embarrassed to face Jia Ming... And Mu Cun Hiroki said that he had offended Jian Suyan.
The whole of Japan couldn't carry it, and it was also because of Xie Baoshu behind her. Baoshu carried the atomic bomb and ran to Japan to throw it away. The two had a fight, and then Baoshu won, but Kimura convinced him that natural evolution should not talk
Consider yourself a superman.
What else should be explained in the ending? In fact, it has been explained. Everyone has their own destination, and this destination is perfect to a certain extent. As for whether Dongfang Wan and Jiaming slept with each other, I really don’t know.
Both ways of writing seem to be good but neither is good. Heidi snatched Jiaming at the end. I don’t know. Is Xun secretly with Jiaming? I don’t know either. If you want me to make a promise,
I will tell you: they are finally living in happiness. For them who have experienced separation, they are now extremely happy.
If you want to clearly see Jiaming overthrowing everyone, and then you will regard it as a perfect ending, that is impossible. It does not mean that this may not happen, but I can’t write it. I only have so much ability.
, how can the harem in urban novels be self-consistent? Look at how many chapters I used to conquer Yahan MM? I tried my best, and writing to this level is enough. If I clearly overthrow everyone, in such a chaotic situation, I
How can we ensure that you feel that Jiaming is not really a playboy? For example, in the last few pictures, why do the descriptions of Heidi, Marilyn, and Kelly end after the highlight of Heidi crying? Jiaming in one afternoon
The world passed between three women, and no one refused. I wrote out every word he said. What do you think of him? It’s not that Jiaming is a playboy, or that Jiaming is not a playboy, but I don’t have enough writing skills to write in detail.
Maybe it gave you an illusion, so I skipped it because Heidi crying is the central tear-jerking plot and has already been written, so it’s OK.
The article cannot be written to death. This ending, just in terms of wrapping up the thread, is already in place.
From the beginning of the eighth volume, the focus of the plot is basically not focused on the fighting. The purpose of going to Japan and Europe is to tie up the clues of the characters. Some people have questions about why Yu Shouxi died at the hands of Baoshu and why he died so quickly. In the final analysis,
I don't have the concept of setting a big BOSS.
There is nothing that needs to be defeated by Jiaming. I like the character of Yu Shouxi very much. I will pay respect to the paranoid, because there are many things that I can't do. Even if you are paranoid and want to destroy the world, you
If you can work hard, I will respect you. Of course, in order to survive, I will definitely stand on your opposite side. I originally wanted to arrange a dialogue for them, but then I thought about it, the dialogue is not necessary. Yu Shou
Xi's character was already shown in the conversation between him and his father. He was already in prison.
I have conceived the last chapter many times. If it were placed in a movie scene, the robbers rush out, the surroundings are chaotic, the camera zooms up, and we see the entire city. We see the past and future, time flows, and then the camera zooms down. The noise around us
Getting up again, Dongfang Lu said to the robber: "You have arrested the wrong person." The screen turned black, the robber shouted, and then there was the sound of loading a gun, and then there was silence. We could know from the noise around him that he was still
In a scene that combines chaos and tension, at the end, Jia Ming's sigh came from outside the screen: "You really caught the wrong person..." The movie ended, the lights came on, and the movie finally ended.
What I imagined is this scene, why this sentence, because from the beginning to the end, his pretense and pretending to be a pig to eat the tiger are all based on this sentence. The purpose of this chapter is probably to start this book again.
A corner of the book reminds you vaguely of some story, that's enough.
There is actually a problem of haste. Although everything is developing according to the established clues, it is undeniable that I have experienced great fatigue when writing here. I am trying to advance the plot, no matter subconsciously or something, it is prompting me to do so. Definitely.
There is a problem of rushing, but it is not to the point of being unfinished. Even if my mentality changes for the better, I don’t think I can make changes to this. Add some fighting? Dialogue? Extend the length? No need, just
Come here.
There seems to be nothing left to talk about trivial things from the beginning. The first seven volumes have probably been covered before, and what I want to say about the eighth volume to the end is basically already here. Oh, there is something that everyone is very concerned about.
, there will be a sequel to Hidden Killing in the future. I estimate it will be tens of thousands of words long. Let’s look at the father and mother a few years or ten years from Taotao’s perspective. This group of people already has some ideas, but in short
I won’t be able to write anything within the time limit, I just have a plan.
For this book, I give myself sixty points.
Then there is the next book, which has many ideas. Currently, it is tentatively planned to be a project about urban superpowers. It is an idea that evolved from "The Treasure Tree, The Treasure Tree". It is a story about a baby-faced otaku who is a natural evolver, although it is also relatively innocent.
, but it is not consistent with Xie Baoshu’s completely lawful good character. Regarding the changes in the abilities of natural evolvers, he still adheres to the warm urban route, interspersed with comedy, messy pretending to be pigs and eating tigers, and the supernatural fights after contacting the world should remain hidden as much as possible.
Killing style.
Then...there is one thing I really want to say...
There is always a picture in my mind. When I was in elementary school, I was in a two-story earthen teaching building. The classroom was very simple and the glass was broken. The sky was dark, but it looked bright when I turned on the lights. It rained heavily.
Later, when I looked out of the window, I could clearly see the water droplets on the wires connecting several buildings. A bird landed on the wires, and the wind blew in through the windows. The whole world was as clear as water.
I have never seen such a clear picture again.
Maybe my eyesight has become worse, maybe my heart has become complicated. If I use this as a symbol, I have always wanted to express it and integrate it into anything. That is the ultimate portrayal of it.
How should I put it? I never think that Internet literature is a characterization technique that whispers traditional literature. I hate the concept of division. No matter what the medium is, the meaning of literature lies in expression. There has never been any difference between Internet literature and traditional literature.
Well, I am still a literary young man.
You don’t have to agree with me. I’m not pure. If I can’t persist, I will compromise and retreat. But within the scope of persistence, I still hope to persist in something and try to persist a little. Someone asked me to hide and help me.
How much money you make is actually not much, especially if you speed up the updates, the income will certainly increase. Someone told me that if you force yourself to type 61,000 words every day, you can publish them all regardless of the quality, but the number of words will be guaranteed anyway.
That's enough. If I can't do it now, I may be able to do it one day, but before that, I have to struggle.
I must say thank you for being able to accompany and support the readers who have been hiding here. Thank you very much. The plot of the seventh volume is the most tangled part for me. After the breakup, the subscription dropped, and I also made preparations for the further drop in subscription.
However, after the seventh volume, although there were some abusers and noisy ones, the subscriptions increased, which proved that I at least insisted on some things, and therefore allowed me to go to more intense and dangerous bridges.
In fact, it insists on entertainment and fun. My resistance to some plots is lower than the average person. If I see a cuckold plot, I will feel depressed for a few days and I will not be able to eat. If I see my favorite female character being killed, I will give up immediately.
Any book by the author. The principle of writing a book is the same as when I started writing Hidden Kill. I hope to write a book that can entertain myself and everyone at the same time.
Thank you again for your support of Hidden Killing. Basically... we'll see you in the next book.
