"Do you want to go to the nearby Moyu Internet Cafe to have fun together on the weekend?"
"Okay, I'm going too!"
"Brother Cui, are you going?"
Cui Geng shook his head: "I won't go, you can go."
The author who invited him didn't insist. He got up to pack his things, prepared to leave the inspiration class, go out to eat and then go back to rest.
Like the study class, the inspiration class also strictly implements the eight-hour work system. The working hours are from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m., with a one-hour lunch break from 12 p.m. to 1 p.m.
In fact, with the intensity of work in the inspiration class, it is basically not much different from watching an eight-hour movie.
The inspiration class only officially started running this Thursday. It is impossible for most authors to find suitable inspiration in two days, so there are only two or three authors who actually start writing.
Most of the other authors still plan to spend a good weekend and wait until next Monday to continue collecting inspiration and make long-term plans for the new book.
After all, the author's remuneration is now bought out by the website, and the number of words required for daily updates has dropped significantly, so I can naturally rest normally on Saturdays and Sundays.
Most of these authors are also very young, and most of them are between the ages of 22 and 28. It is not surprising that they meet up at Moyu Internet Cafe to play black games on weekends.
But Cui Geng was uncharacteristically uncharacteristic and did not join these authors in hacking.
Because after two days of intensive searching for information, he suddenly felt a flash of inspiration in his brain. It seemed that the inspiration that had been drying up in the past few months was showing signs of recovery!
In the past two days, he intensively reviewed several movies, TV series and movies, and consulted a lot of information on the Internet. The general framework of the entire story appeared in his mind, and the background was also built up.
Cui Geng suddenly had a strong desire to create and wanted to write the beginning of this story.
As the saying goes, everything is difficult at the beginning. But when creating, this may not necessarily be true.
Most of them are bursting with inspiration at the beginning, and the writing is flying, and the writing is hearty; but the later the writing becomes slower, the inspiration is exhausted, the writing is stuck, and the foreshadowing laid before is forgotten... the whole structure becomes a mess.
It was chaotic, ended in a hurry, and was called a dog.
At this time, Cui Geng was in such a state of inspiration that he was very eager to write the beginning of the story.
Therefore, writing is often simple at the beginning and becomes more difficult as the writing progresses.
Writing is a very demanding thing. There is a huge difference between what you write when you are in a good state and what you write when you are in a bad state. Inspiration is fleeting, so once writers have inspiration, they must immediately
Seize it and record it, otherwise you will miss some details forever.
Cui Geng came to the work area of the inspiration class.
The configuration here is similar to that of a study class, with a large screen, mechanical keyboard and ergonomic chair, ensuring the most comfortable coding experience.
Cui Geng actually didn't plan to write for too long. He just wanted to write a simple beginning, which would only take an hour or two at most.
Start the computer and create a new document.
"Hmm... where should I start writing this opening scene..."
While Cui Geng was considering the details, the time on the computer passed 6 o'clock in the evening unknowingly.
"Well... I think it's better to use a narrative approach at the beginning. Let's start from the moment when the protagonist changes his life goal."
Cui Geng made up his mind, reached for the mouse next to him, and prepared to adjust the font size and line spacing of the document to the format he was most comfortable with.
Using the default font and size will make him feel uncomfortable.
However, Cui Geng's hand came up empty.
Cui Geng: "?"
At that moment, he almost thought that he had some disease in his cerebellum. The mouse was clearly close at hand, but he missed it? Parkinson's patients can't be so outrageous, right?
Cui Geng didn't pay much attention to this episode, but continued to hold the mouse.
But still got nothing!
This time he saw it clearly. When his hand moved over the mouse, the mouse moved strangely and irregularly to the upper right!
Cui Geng was shocked. He quickly grabbed it several times, but the response of this mouse was much more sensitive than he imagined. It kept moving erratically, and he couldn't catch it!
At the same time, a prompt also popped up on the computer screen.
"It's time to get off work, please go back and rest immediately. Continuing to work will trigger an alarm and leave a record. You will be responsible for the consequences."
Cui Geng: "???"
He was completely stunned. What kind of confusing behavior is this?
Even if you want to work overtime for a while?
What’s even more outrageous is this mouse. It actually has this physical method of refusing to work overtime?
Cui Geng got off work at midnight yesterday and didn't stay much longer, so he has never encountered this kind of situation. This is the first time today.
"Forget it, I'll go to the nearby Moyu Internet Cafe to write!"
Cui Geng never expected that one day he would take the initiative to code during his break.
There is no way, it is really uncomfortable not to write down when inspiration comes. Cui Geng is afraid that if he doesn't write today, he will have forgotten all the details by Monday.
So, he immediately set off to the nearby Moyu Internet Cafe, where he prepared to write the beginning of this story.
…
…
The first is the title of this story.
After careful consideration, Cui Geng first finalized the English title and then translated the title into Chinese.
"SUCCESSOR", "Successor".
The reason why it is translated as "successor" rather than "successor" is because it mainly "succeeds" Captain World's superhero abilities and identity, rather than inheriting inheritance.
Cui Geng also thought about the shape of this title by the way. Based on the art word "SUCCESSOR" in capital letters, he painted "SUCCESS" in bright red.
This title has three different meanings:
First of all, in the background of the entire story, all superheroes regard themselves as the successors of the first-generation superhero "Captain World". Captain World distributed his super powers throughout the United States, giving everyone the possibility of becoming a superhero.
, at the same time, he is deeply loved by the American people and is regarded as a role model of superheroes.
Therefore, all subsequent superheroes regard themselves as successors, which means that they will act like Captain World and will not disappoint those who support them.
Secondly, there will be a very key plot in the book, which is a TV show called "Successor". This show is an important part of the protagonist's plan.
Finally, the word successor, that is, SUCCESSOR, happens to have the word SUCCESS (success).
Painting SUCCESS bright red implies that this is a story about a "successor" on the surface, but it is actually a story about a "successor", and the so-called "success" here is on the surface an ordinary person becoming a superhero.
"Success", but in fact it is the accumulation of blood and killing, the "success" of an ambitious man who achieved evil goals through dirty means.
Before starting to write the beginning, Cui Geng also carefully considered the specific writing method.
There are many entry points at the beginning of the whole story. If you follow the general writing habits of online articles, most of them will use a forward narrative method.
But Cui Geng considered that the content he is writing now should not be written in the strict sense using the method of online writing, but should be written in the method of movie scripts or short and medium-length stories with strong literary qualities, so in order to make the story
To make it more compact, he decided to use the narrative method.
…
America, Hope City, 2010s, a rainy night.
Hope City is one of the most prosperous cities on the east coast of the United States. The weather here is complex and changeable, sometimes it is cloudy, sometimes it is clear and clear.
This bustling metropolis is like a huge melting pot. Buildings of different styles can be seen in every corner of the city. Underneath the glamor and glitz on the surface, there is filth and evil hidden in the dark alleys.
It is one of the most prosperous and wealthy cities in the United States, and it is also one of the cities with the highest crime rate in the United States.
However, with the joint efforts of the superheroes and the police, just like the name of the city, the crime rate here is decreasing year by year, and the entire city and its citizens are bathed in hope.
Although from the statistics, the crime rate in Hope City remains high, here, people can often see various superheroes patrolling the sky, and hear news about criminal organizations being destroyed by superheroes every day.
Citizens' sense of security and happiness is at the forefront of the United States.
Phil Simmons, the only son of real estate tycoon Ryan Simmons, is a well-known playboy in Hope City.
Sports cars, yachts, private jets, supermodels, parties at sea... Phil is very good at spending money and carpe diem.
Phil is by no means the richest second generation, but he is definitely the most high-profile. The 31-year-old has a strong sense of self-promotion. Through day-by-day accumulation, he has accumulated a lot of money for his personal social account.
Millions of fans.
Compared to superheroes, entertainment and sports stars, and politicians whose fans are measured in tens of millions, millions of fans seem nothing. But after all, Phil is not a superhero, star, or politician. As a purely wealthy man,
The second generation, being able to obtain these number of fans, has indeed demonstrated his "talent" in certain aspects.
Of course, his Simmons Media Company has also contributed a lot in this regard.
At this time, this man who has been proud for most of his life, who is 1.92 meters tall, has a handsome face and a perfect figure, has a doctorate in law and an MBA degree, and is the CEO of Simmons Media Company, is in a skyscraper under construction.
On the rooftop of the building, tears were shed.
The uncontrolled urine caused by fear stained the well-tailored expensive trousers, leaving an embarrassing dark wet spot on it that was slowly expanding.
The high-profile bright red tie that he loved so much was caught on an extremely thick arm with exposed veins and thick hair, and his whole body had already reached the outside of the rooftop. If it weren't for the arm holding this tie
, he was already about to fall from a height of more than a thousand feet and have a close contact with the ground.
Phil Simmons' handsome face had been completely distorted by fear. Tears, snot and rain were mixed together, and a small part flowed into his mouth that was begging for mercy hoarsely, and a small part of the saliva was sprayed out.
"Please, don't kill me!"
"My dad has a lot of money. No matter how much money you ask for, he will give it to you!"
At this moment, the person holding Phil Simmons' bright red tie was a super strong man who was nearly 2.5 meters tall and weighed nearly 200 kilograms.
Tonight, when Phil Simmons was driving his sports car in the rainy night as usual, this strong man suddenly appeared in front of his sports car, smashed his beloved sports car to pieces, and then jumped out of the deformed cab.
They dragged out Phil Simmons, who had fallen into a brief coma due to the impact, and carried him like a little chicken to the roof of the skyscraper that was still under construction.
When Phil Simmons woke up in the freezing rain, his entire body was already hanging on a skyscraper, and his fortune and life all depended on the hands of this strong man.
Phil Simmons had no intention of resisting at all, because this sinister-looking strong man had the same strength as the weakest superhero.
There are not many "super villains" with such great destructive power in Hope City, but every one of them creates a headache for the police who maintain law and order in the city.
However, although the crime rate in Hope City remains high, it basically occurs in neighborhoods where some poor people and homeless people live together. Phil Simmons lives in a wealthy area. In his thirty-one years of life,
I have never encountered this situation before.
The extreme fear made his hands and feet cold and his body out of control. He had no choice but to cry and beg for mercy.
And this villain, who was like a mountain of meat, looked at Phil Simmons' horrified and twisted expression with great interest, and showed a mocking smile.
Life experience, appearance, wealth, intelligence...etc., no villain can compare with Phil Simmons.
But there's one thing the villain has that Phil Simmons doesn't have, and that's power.
