Chapter 209: This book has a golden look
Since it was put on the shelves in the early morning of January 17, 2009, and updated to today, April 7, Li Yan’s online article has been updated with nearly 700,000 words, and has also been successfully published in Kaiyuan’s With strong support, I received key recommendations after being put on the shelves twice.
The average booking exceeded the 6,000 mark. Kaiyuan was very happy to say that Li Yan’s qualification to participate in this year’s Origin Annual Meeting was guaranteed. He also confidently expressed that he wanted to see “which older junior high school student it is.”
But this is not enough. Li Yan is not too excited. For him, there is no option to be satisfied with winning the masterpiece badge from the beginning.
Even if you are a random writer, when you can’t sign a contract, you will be envious when you see a writer with a contract level. When you sign a contract, your circle will be filled with people who have signed contracts, and the signing will become a piece of cake. Not worth it anymore.
All subsequent performance nodes are the same. You have gained 5,000 collections and are far ahead among the newcomers in the same period. Then you will not care about the circle of "newcomers in the same period", but look at the group of people with at least 5,000 collections.
At this time, going to Wensi Pavilion was an unattainable achievement, but when I actually went to Wensi Pavilion, the only books in Wensi Pavilion were in my eyes.
We will always compare ourselves with those who are better than ourselves, so contentment is a kind of wisdom.
Li Yan’s book had a wild start. Kaiyuan gave him a semi-annual editor’s recommendation, and successfully entered the Wensi Pavilion. The Young Master with Kidney Deficiency also made a golden alliance, and a complete newcomer wrote an unpopular one. The subject matter is so surprising that it gives the opening treatment that only a great author can have.
In the later period, the update was released while ensuring quality, which can be regarded as the ultimate achievement in terms of luck and hard work.
But the results were not good enough for Li Yan.
Since they are all masterpieces, why can’t they be ordered by thousands of people? If it’s already subscribed, why not leave a name in the history of online literature?
Everyone wants it, but this cannot be achieved by just relying on explosive updates. It needs a wonderful climax, the kind that makes readers climax.
But this is easier said than done? Seven hundred thousand words, seven hundred thousand words in total, he still hasn't reached the climax, and the undercurrent is still surging for thousands of miles.
If it hadn’t been for the explosive update, I’m afraid readers would have finished reading it.
It's not like Kaiyuan has never looked for him. He always expressed confidence that he could control it.
Actually, I was still a little worried. Li Yan was writing a group drama, a fictional epic. As he consulted more and more information, the settings became more and more detailed, and the foreshadowing became more and more Not under control.
He originally thought that with his intelligence and language proficiency at the time, he was fully capable of connecting all the details and foreshadowings in the previous chapters at critical moments, and stringing together the several lines of the group portrait, before entering the King's City of Yu State. It exploded at that moment.
But he overlooked one thing. The daily serialization was not only uncomfortable for readers to follow, but also uncomfortable for the author to write.
If Li Yan had been out for six months writing every day after waking up and writing until he went to sleep, he might have been able to finish it in one go. However, when readers complained about "feeling intermittent" and "not feeling anything after reading this every day for a long time", Li Yan The same goes for myself.
In particular, group dramas will switch perspectives. He had a flash of inspiration when writing the protagonist. After switching perspectives, it is really difficult to remember the original feeling.
This is also an important reason why he has been having difficulty writing recently. He is afraid that he will forget some foreshadowing.
Li Yan even thought about asking others to help find foreshadowing. After searching for a long time, she found that only Li Ruofei was suitable. As a result, Li Ruofei read the first twenty chapters and sorted out four "pitfalls" that may have an impact on the subsequent plot. ".
As for Li Yan, the result he saw was thirty-two.
Many places are not much foreshadowing for readers. Readers will only notice Chekhov’s pistol, but not some echoes behind it.
This is simply the result of the different perspectives of the author and the reader.
So, he could only read it once, record some possible "pitfalls", and then connect them together.
After only doing this for one afternoon, Li Yan couldn't stand it anymore.
Without a soul, it would be better not to fill the hole.
The original exquisite ingenuity turned into a mechanical explanation, which was long and boring and did not have the shocking experience he wanted.
It's like putting a label to tell readers, "What echoes here is XX! Am I awesome?"
However, his troubles were solved at the moment when his intelligence improved.
The same is true for loading this novel game. Previously, Li Yan’s brain could only support patch-based loading. When the protagonist takes action, the NPCs in this patch are active, while other patches are stagnant, so he still has to figure out the timeline. The main focus is on "how to become reasonable", and the climax can only be exciting.
Now he can make the whole world run simultaneously, make all the characters come alive in his mind, and act according to the 700,000-word script given by Li Yan.
These characters still have their behavioral logic in the time not written in the novel, and they will be deduced in Li Yan's mind.
Every character is Flaubert’s Madame Bovary.
At this time, Li Yan's rigorous logic, perfect settings and sufficient data in the early stage of setting showed amazing results.
The interaction of all things has its own internal logic. The clearer and stronger the link chain, the more people in the book can act spontaneously.
In other words, the fate of the characters in the book is no longer under the author's control.
A smart person will not force his wits at a critical moment, and a person who cannot escape death will not force himself to survive just because he is a relative or friend of the protagonist.
Victory or failure has nothing to do with justice, evil, or the protagonist and villain. If the previous writing fails and the villain is desperately trying to improve his character, the protagonist will have no chance of victory unless the author forces a deus ex machina to defeat him.
Seven hundred thousand words, five years have passed in the book. Nangongli and Zhongli Wuyu, who are on a mission of revenge, Tan Jiuxiao who helps but has small calculations on the way, the Thirteen Divisions who are divided within the Yu State, The young general who was confused after killing the enemy, the toad ghost hiding in the shadows, the internal fighting in the court related to the prince's rebellion, the Nine Dragons Divine Army returning to the court, the Tong Xin Tong De Hui who was biting around like a mad dog, and the infighting between the two sides. The nineteen guardians of Kaitian who intervened in the situation, and the emperor Yu Tiandan who held the Emperor's Sword in the center of the vortex...
Many forces with different agendas collided at the same place. Some people became enlightened, while others At the end, some people won a great victory, some were running away with their heads in arms, some were able to defeat all methods with one strength, and some were outwit the world, showing their will, betrayal, hiding, showing their cards... Li Yan kept an excited look, left the classroom in silence, and returned to the dormitory. , immediately opened the laptop.
These characters performed a majestic epic in Li Yan's mind, and Li Yan's fingers were flying on the computer keyboard, completely entering a state of flow.
He didn't even realize that his roommate was back, nor did he hear his roommate say hello to him.
"This... again?" Zhu Qinglun asked.
“Writing is a flow.” Li Ruofei’s eyes were full of envy, “Don’t bother me at this time. Many masterpieces in history come not from hard training day after day, but from the aura of this genius. "It's so mysterious."
"It's so mysterious." Lin Heng nodded.
It wasn’t until nearly eleven o’clock that Li Yan’s heartbreaking keyboard sound finally stopped.
He sorted out the whole climax sequence so thoroughly that the keyboard almost started to smoke.
Li Yan even felt that his brain was beating in sync with his heart.
It's like returning from heaven to earth, everything around me is a bit in a trance.
"I'm sorry, everyone, for making such a noise so late." Li Yan scratched his head and tried to relax.
"Nothing, nothing, but what are you doing?" Liang Tiancheng asked for everyone.
"Internet novel."
Actually, everyone knows it.
"What's the name?"
"Don't say it yet, you will know it soon."
You will know it soon? Is this a new type of pretense?
Li Yan stretched out, "If you don't know when the time comes, I'll tell you again. Give me a chance to show off."
"Do you need us to give you a chance to show off?" Lin After Heng finished speaking, everyone laughed.
Li Yan took her cell phone and went into the bathroom to brush her teeth, and simultaneously sent a message to Kaiyuan:
Yuanda, I am successful.
Kaiyuan replied in seconds: What is it?
Li Yan: Climax.
Kaiyuan misunderstood: You don’t need to tell me this, or you can’t tell me.
Li Yan: What the hell am I talking about the climax of the novel!
After a few seconds, he replied:
That’s what I meant too. The climax is coming. I am also a reader and am looking forward to it. I mean no spoilers.
Li Yan: I have an idea. Let’s change the name “White-haired Emperor’s Sword” back to “Nangong Boy”.
Kaiyuan was silent for several seconds: So you also think this name is not good?
Li Yan: I don’t think it’s not good, I just think the original one is better and more appropriate.
Kaiyuan: But it turns out that name doesn’t attract volume!
Li Yan: Does the name Baifa attract people?
Kaiyuan: The main reason is that you have written 700,000 words, and now you are changing your name. You are really not afraid of death!
Li Yan: There are more than 3,000 people chasing this book. They have been waiting for this climax for a long time. In front of this climax, nothing else matters. Keep the original picture on the cover and change the title, no big deal.
Kaiyuan is still struggling.
Li Yan returned to his seat, sent the climax outline he had just written, and said:
If Yuanda also chased all the way down, I believe you would not be interested in this plot. Disappointed.
Over there, Kaiyuan read for fifteen minutes before replying:
I fucking think this book is golden! Are you sure you want to change your name?
Change.
I will make arrangements for you tomorrow!
The corners of Li Yan's mouth raised. Some of the trees that had been planted were almost ready to be harvested.
