Chapter 233 Living with Senior Sister

A hotel room late at night.

Yuan Wanqing's clothes were off and she was half covered with a quilt. She was leaning in Ying Zhicheng's arms with a lazy look on her face. Her peach blossom eyes were half-closed and her face was still flushed.

Ying Zhicheng is two years older than Li Guohong. He is already 38 this year. Because he has a secretary who plans his work and rest all year round and has a fitness plan every week, his body has always been well maintained.

As a female singer who emerged at the beginning of the century, Yuan Wanqing was hailed as a little singer by the media at the time. Unfortunately, she later retired due to illness.

However, in order to cure heart disease, I have maintained a light diet, a regular work and rest schedule, and a training plan assisted by a doctor, and my whole body has been well maintained.

If you put on a little more makeup, it would be hard to tell that she is 34 years old, more like a girl in her twenties or eighties.

The two had just finished a physical exchange. Because they still remembered the doctor's advice not to exercise excessively, Ying Zhicheng didn't bother her much.

When they were at home, they had to restrain themselves and pay attention to the influence. After arriving in a foreign country, the two of them dared to indulge a little.

At this time, leaning in Ying Zhicheng's arms, Yuan Wanqing felt at ease, sighed with contentment, and enjoyed the peace at this moment.

Ying Zhicheng also rubbed the beautiful woman's round shoulders, touched the cigarette case on the bedside table with his right hand, thought for a moment, let go of his hand, and pushed the cigarette case and lighter further away.

"When you return to China this time, do you want to go home with me during the Chinese New Year?" Ying Zhicheng asked softly in her ear.

When Yuan Wanqing heard this, she suddenly looked startled, then shook her head slightly, leaned on his chest, and whispered: "Zhusheng is still young, and your daughter is also in high school. It is better to wait until they go to college. Let's think about the public affairs. I don't want to affect their studies."

Ying Zhicheng was silent for a moment and nodded: "Okay, I'll listen to you, I'm still too anxious."
< br>"I know you want to give me a status, but we have been in a relationship for two or three years, right? Do you see me anxious?" Yuan Wanqing chuckled, "We are not young, status and all, I don’t value it that much. The healthy growth of the child is more important.”

“Well, you’re right.”

“Besides, we are both very busy now, so we should take a break from our busy schedule occasionally. , which is pretty good." Yuan Wanqing said, "If the effect of this comeback is not satisfactory, maybe I will retreat behind the scenes, but now..."

"I didn't expect that it was just a song " "Year Rings", it turned out to be better than the carefully prepared album." Ying Zhicheng laughed and shook his head, "I thought it was your daughter's work before, but later I found out that it was produced by the songwriter named Rekindle."

“Yes.” Speaking of this, Yuan Wanqing was also very emotional, “And this young man named Zhongran is still writing his own novel. There was an exclusive interview event before, which was a linkage with his novel. , it is said that the effect is quite good."

"Yes, I know." Ying Zhicheng nodded, "I asked the secretary to take a look, and you bought two songs from him. Copyright? ”

"Well, there are two songs, but there should be four songs soon." Yuan Wanqing said with a slight smile, "There is also "The Sky is No Limit" and "Under the Flying Clouds". I am amazed at his creative ability. They are indeed both It's a rare masterpiece."

"Four songs..." Ying Zhicheng fell into silence for a moment, then burst into laughter, "That's really amazing. Is it possible that he can give you the new album next time? Got it covered?”

“Who says it’s not?” Yuan Wanqing laughed, “I heard from my daughter that he was participating in a symposium in the past few days, and his novel won the first prize in an essay competition. The award can be said to be quite powerful. There should be no doubt about this talent."

"So..." Ying Zhicheng raised his eyebrows, "It seems that your daughter and this person named Zhongran are very close. "Familiar?"

"They are classmates," Yuan Wanqing explained simply, "The song "Rings of the Year" came from my daughter because he asked her to record it. Otherwise, we wouldn’t have heard it.”

“That’s it.” Ying Zhicheng said with a clear look, “In this case, many people should know that he is writing a novel. "

"That's right?" Yuan Wanqing hesitated, "My daughter knows about it, and his family should know about it, but other students in the school probably don't know about it."
< br>Ying Zhicheng nodded, his expression noncommittal.

Yuan Wanqing said instead: "Speaking of which, he gave me a small proposal before, which was an idea about the release of a new album. I think it's quite interesting."

“Oh? Tell me.”

...

It was almost noon in Yuhang City on the other side of the ocean.

Li Luo had just packed his luggage when he heard a knock at the door, and Xu Rongsheng's voice sounded outside: "Li Luo, get ready, let's go have lunch."

"Okay. Uncle Xu, be here soon."

"Don't worry, Youyu is probably still sleeping in. I'll call her."

After that, there was a knocking next door. Door sounds.

After a while, the knocking on the door stopped.

Li Luo dragged his suitcase and pushed out the door, and saw that the door next door had just been opened, and Xu Youyu's confused voice came out: "Dad...good morning."

"What time do you think it is now?"

"Hmm? What time is it?"

"It's half past eleven, are you still sleeping?" Xu Rongsheng said, "Li Luo has already packed up, don't make me wait any longer."

"Well..." Xu Youyu rubbed his eyes , glanced at the next door, and saw Li Luo who had already dragged his suitcase out, "You have packed everything, why didn't you call me just now?"

"Can you sleep a little longer?" Okay?”

“Thank you.”

Xu Youyu yawned and returned to the house. After washing his face and waking up, he immediately started packing.

When it was almost twelve o'clock, I finally finished preparations, dragged my suitcase behind me, and went downstairs to check out with Li Luo and Xu Rongsheng.

Then the three of them went to a nearby small restaurant, where Xu Rongsheng treated them and had a simple meal.

"After I returned to the room last night, I studied your book carefully." Xu Rongsheng said to Li Luo with a smile at the dinner table, "To be honest, it was quite enlightening."

“I also read the beginnings of some other books, but I feel that your work is more structured in structure. I don’t know if it’s my imagination.”

“It seems that you did it intentionally. Control the word count of each plot.”

"Basically every twenty or thirty chapters is a complete structure of succession, transition, and conclusion, very regular."

"Although other books also have this characteristic, they often get lost in the middle, hammering here and there. "

Li Luo's face suddenly stiffened when he heard Xu Rongsheng talking about the book he wrote. He glanced at Xu Youyu next to him and saw that she was suppressing a smile and burying her head in her meal. She wanted to laugh but was afraid of being caught. The appearance of causing disaster to the fish in the pond.

But after listening to it later, I found that Xu Rongsheng was really studying it carefully. Li Luo also explained: "This way of writing, I call it the rhythm of Internet articles."

"Once A complete plot with climaxes and exciting moments. Assuming that the number of words to complete it is 50,000, then this number of words is the rhythm of an online novel."

"Some books may be 100,000 words. Words come once, some are 200,000 words, and some can even lay out millions of words before one burst. This belongs to the rhythm of a book, just like the ups and downs of musical notes."

"The slower the pace, the longer the foreshadowing, the more accumulated emotions, and the more intense and prolonged the emotional outburst when it reaches the climax, but the price is that during the serialization period, readers will have a worse reading experience and it will be more difficult." The faster the pace, the shorter and faster the foreshadowing is, and the emotional ups and downs are not as dramatic, but because the emotional feedback can be obtained faster, the reader's reading experience will be better."

"The price is to lose the high explosiveness that has been prepared for a long time, and it is difficult to leave a deep impression on readers."

Li Luo's choice is obviously the latter.

After all, the development of the Internet has been moving in a short, flat and fast direction, and Li Luo is just following the trend of the times.

As for his theories, they are basically things that were summarized step by step by later Internet article authors.

“Of course, there is also a way to have both.” Li Luo added, “That is to insert small-length introductions, successions, transitions, and transitions into a million-word passage, and one big one contains several smaller ones. ”

“It is guaranteed to satisfy the readers while still paving the way for the big climax.”

“This kind of writing method is what I call the secondary structure, and the two mentioned above are the first. A fast and slow mode belongs to the first-level structure. "

For Li Luo, the second-level structure is of course a better choice, but his ability in this area is limited, so he made some choices.

After all, this kind of secondary structure is often very brain-consuming. It requires short and quick little plots one after another, but also needs to prepare for the climax, and move towards the climax bit by bit.

Once this kind of thing is not controlled well, the secondary structure will collapse. In the end, let alone taking into account both, the shortcomings of both will be encountered, and the effect will not be good.

As for above this, there is a three-level structure.

It takes a small plot of five to one hundred thousand words as the cell, a climax plot of fifty to one million words as the skeleton, and finally converges into the ultimate climax of four to five million words.

It is equivalent to a very large beginning, succession, transition, and chapter, which accommodates four or five medium-length transitions.

And every medium-length beginning, succession, transition, and transition contains four or five small-length beginnings, succession, transitions, and transitions.

Under the layers of nesting, a beautifully structured web text framework is produced.

It’s just that this level of paving is no longer something that ordinary people can control.

The completion framework of the entire book must be prepared before starting the book, and during the continuous creation process that lasts for more than a year, it must be advanced in an orderly and impartial manner.

This is a huge test for an online article author.

Most people who write online articles come up with an idea, then open Word and just do it. How can they think so much.

Most people who think so much from the beginning, just write tens of thousands of words, and after publishing and uploading, they find that their data has been thrown away... there is no follow-up.

"What you said is very interesting. This is the first time I have heard of it." Xu Rongsheng nodded suddenly and silently wrote down in his heart, "This can be regarded as a characteristic of Internet articles. After all, it is the first time I have heard of it." "There really has never been a work with millions of words in it."

"This can be regarded as a trend of the development of the times," Li Luo said with a smile, "the more the media that carry words develop, the more the media develops. Naturally, works with larger number of words can be evolved.”

If a work with millions of words were made into a paper book at once, with a thickness and page count similar to that of an ordinary book, it would only take a dozen or twenty books to be produced at once.

This kind of cost would have been unimaginable in ancient times.

That is to say, in the Internet era, words can be separated from reality and completely relied on the virtual Internet to be recorded, and the number of words in novels has been able to complete a huge expansion and evolution.

Xu Youyu, who was immersed in eating at the side, saw that his father and Li Luo were discussing the Internet article in a harmonious manner, and a look of astonishment suddenly appeared on his face.

But as the discussion between the two deepened, Xu Youyu gradually became fascinated.

Xu Youyu gained a lot from the many theoretical frameworks spoken by Li Luo, and even occasionally felt enlightened.

Things that were still confusing about the structure and writing of online articles in the past seemed to be understood and completely made clear.

During the discussion with Li Luo, Xu Rongsheng slowly discovered that Li Luo, from being stiff and awkward at the beginning to talking eloquently later, did indeed have a unique understanding of Internet articles. opinion.

In this regard, Xu Rongsheng has also communicated with the editor Xia Lie who specializes in interviews with Internet article authors, but those big authors do not seem to have a complete bottom-level understanding of Internet articles like Li Luo. , more relying on vague inspiration to create.

Of course, for creators, they only need to use their inspiration freely, but for those who want to explore the mechanism and essence of online article creation, there are many things to consider.

Therefore, the insights Li Luo brought from ten or twenty years in the future are very enlightening for Xu Rongsheng.

This made Xu Rongsheng couldn't help but think highly of Li Luo again.

After all, with such insight into Internet articles, it is conceivable that Li Luo’s success is by no means a mere accident and luck, but also supported by considerable strength.

Even if this book is finished now, Xu Rongsheng believes that Li Luo can still create equally excellent works.

......

After lunch, the three of them took a taxi on the roadside and headed home.

Xu Rongsheng went directly back to the family community of Qianjiang University, but Xu Youyu had no intention of going back. After dropping his father off at the family community, he ordered the driver to drive to Bihailanting.

"You won't go home with me?" Xu Rongsheng asked.

"Oh, I'll stay there for a few more days and come back after the Chinese New Year."

"You girl..."

Watching the taxi drive away, Xu Rongsheng shook his head helplessly.

In the taxi, as the car stopped at the entrance of Bihailanting community, Xu Youyu got out of the car and moved his and Li Luo's luggage down, then waved to Li Luo in the car: "Let's go , what are you doing standing still?"

Li Luo: "...?"

Li Luo, who was looking confused, was pulled out of the car by Xu Youyu and watched the taxi gradually go away. Lost in thought: "Why did you pull me down? I have to go home."

"Can you have the heart to leave me here alone, without even knowing how to fix dinner?" Xu Youyu revealed With a pitiful expression, Chu Chu blinked her big eyes and looked at him.

"From here, go there, turn right at the intersection, go straight to the middle, then turn left to the opposite side of the street, there is a community there." Li Luo said expressionlessly, "Then you go straight Stop at Unit 2 of Building 5, go up to the 4th floor, enter Room 402, sit down at the dining table, and wait for dinner."

Xu Youyu curled his lips and said, "Thank you, I think it's better. It would be more convenient to bring you here.”

“I’m very tired from the long journey.”

“How about I give you a shoulder rub, little lady?”

"That's something you can consider."
