1980 My literary era

(Preliminary summary: The author, Silly Bo, just turned the final remarks into a VIP chapter. Friends who have subscribed, please don’t scold me. I will replace the content you have subscribed to with extra content later. I’m sorry everyone, Apologize again. Send a message again, this time without charge.)

I finished writing the text, and when I typed the last few words on the keyboard, my mind was empty. I started uploading the first chapter on December 1 last year and finished it on December 19 this year. A little over a year is not a long time in online article creation, but it was a difficult journey for me.

2.99 million words, almost 3 million words. For a handicapped person with an average hand speed of only 1,000 words/hour, typing these words in a year means that I have to sit in front of the computer for 12 hours a day, from 9 am to 9 pm, every day. Day after day.

Looking back on this year, it should be the most difficult year for me in writing online articles. A week after I started reading, I became masculine because of the epidemic. At that time, I was on a business trip in Tianjin. I was staying in a small hotel in the suburbs. My whole body was in unbearable pain, and my throat felt like I was swallowing a razor blade. At three o'clock in the middle of the night, I suppressed the pain in my body. In severe pain, I ran to pharmacies in suburban counties just for a painkiller, but there was no way to seek medical treatment.

Fortunately, after more than a week, I managed to get through it. Not only was I not struck down by the pain, but I also kept my updates.

Probably God rewards those who work hard, and I have just recovered from the new crown virus. Editor Liu Xing told me a piece of news - 24-hour VIP reading is 3,400, which is really good news for me who has been reading thousands of books since writing the book.

But when the results are good, people have more burdens. Every day I worry that reading will drop, and every day I look forward to the novel being put on the shelves. Book friends who have been chasing books may have the impression that during the period before it was put on the shelves, I have been updating 6,000 words a day. It is for this reason. .

When it was put on the shelves in mid-January, the number of follow-up reads was 7,600, and the first order was 5,500. I still remember these two numbers, because they not only represent the achievements of this book, but also represent the light of hope for my future life.

work hard and harder. I remember that when I was writing thousands of books, my hand speed could reach 2,000 words/hour from time to time, but when it came to this book, I was writing slower and slower. 1500 words, 1200 words, 1000 words, 800 words...

The lower the coding software statistics dropped, the longer I sat in front of the computer every day.

My body is sending me a warning when I have headaches, cervical vertebrae pain, back pain, and buttock pain. Sitting or facing the computer for a long time.

Not only that, because I was under too much mental pressure, stomach problems were tormenting me repeatedly. In July, I got thyroiditis again. This disease is not a serious illness, it is a self-healing disease. But there is something wrong with me, and I will feel pain in the afternoon every day. , which was very similar to the pain all over the body caused by a high fever, and it took more than a month to feel better.

The above two paragraphs are neither complaints nor complaints. I am not writing online articles for free. You have paid real money to subscribe to every word. Your love for me and my works has been reflected in your subscriptions and rewards. I feel nothing but gratitude in my heart, so you can just think of what I said above as a form of betrayal.

I am an autistic author. I rarely speak in the book review section, and I rarely speak in book club groups. I am usually busy typing. I finally finished writing the text today, and I have the time and mood to talk to everyone.

Long-term creation is a huge consumption for the author. In addition to conceiving the next plot every day, he also has to review the creative context of the entire book and the pros and cons.

The genre of this book belongs to the urban category, and if it is subdivided, it should be divided into age + entertainment.

Looking back at the creation process of this book, there are three things that satisfy me the most: first, the perspective of the Literary Research Institute, second, the plot processing of the main line of writers + editors in the early and middle stages, and third, Huang Anyi, Shi Tiesheng, Zheng Guo, and Yu Hua , Niu Han and other supporting characters, this last point has an element of trickery, after all, there are prototypes.

After talking about what you are satisfied with, let’s talk about what you are dissatisfied with.

1. The treatment in the first volume at the beginning was a bit too rough. My original intention was to write the character's growth arc, but later it seems that it was a bit too much. It seemed that the protagonist was a bit greasy and slippery, and it should have been handled more conservatively. A little is enough;

2. For the treatment of the emotional line, the heroine was chosen to be Tao Huimin from the beginning. My idea of ​​the protagonist’s emotional line was based on the experiences of some literati. I planned to give the protagonist some sexy news and regrets about not marrying someone else in addition to the heroine. .

There was originally a branch line for Kuro Yoko to go to Japan to collect prizes and buy bargains. Later, he felt that going to the United States and Japan was just opening a map. It was suspected that the plot was repetitive and delayed, so he gave up the Japan line, and Kuro Yoko was gone. Opportunity to appear.

Both Zhu Lin and He Saifei were handled a little hastily, and Tao Huimin came on the scene too late. These are all problems.

As a straight man with little relationship experience, I do have a lot of shortcomings in emotional drama.

3. The rhythm is not well controlled. This has a lot to do with the explosion. This book is said to be about the era + culture and entertainment. To be precise, it should be the era + literature. The main focus is the literature of the new era. In fact, it was destined from the beginning that the story line would be basically limited to the eighties. between the 1990s and the mid-1990s.

The pace in the early and middle stages was too fast, which resulted in many good plots and characters being lost as soon as they were written. It also directly affected the direction of the later plots, which tended to be more film and television and the Internet.

However, there are pros and cons to getting more updates. Without it, maybe my results wouldn’t have improved so quickly.

These dissatisfaction points are shortcomings, and I believe they will also be the nourishment for my future creations. Don’t go down the wrong path a second time.

Now that the main text of this book has been completed, I will write some postscripts and extra chapters. One postscript is tentatively planned, and the number of extra chapters is undetermined. I will try to write as many as possible to improve some plots and characters.

To be honest, as of yesterday, there were still 12,700 people who had subscribed to this book, and I really couldn’t bear to finish it. But I also understand that if I continue writing, the topic will only become more and more biased, and many readers may have developed reading habits and will still subscribe.

But for me, I want to treat creation as a lifelong career. Bad money is good, but people are easily ruined, and I have failed to live up to everyone's love for me.

I hope that when I write the next book, everyone will still recognize me.

Speaking of new books, I just chatted with the editor today. Not surprisingly, it should be era + entertainment. I plan to take a break after finishing writing the extra story. I haven’t taken a break for a year. I haven’t decided on the time to open the book yet. I guess it will be before the Chinese New Year. I can take advantage of this time to polish it. I hope everyone will come and support me by then. ah!

Finally, considering that everyone will lose the fun of reading after the book is finished, I have found a meal replacement for everyone.

"I am a director, I am no worse than a bad person", author: Not an old dog. Gou Ge, Lao Wenyu, is the master of the art, his style stands out with a cool character, and his hand speed is extremely fierce. This book has 6 million words, which is the same as his weight, and he is very fat.

"Return to the Small Fishing Village in 1982", author: Rice's Rice. The author, Sister Susu, is a wonderful woman with both talent and beauty. This book has 3 million words and is getting better and better, much more powerful than me, who is short and concise.

"The Widower's Entertainment", author: Scrambler. The author of the seedlings with the same theme as my book is a level 1 author and I don’t know him. But the writing is very good, I am better than the writer. The posture of Wan Ding, well, if I didn’t have Wan Ding, don’t call me poisonous.

"1990: Starting from Baojia Street", author: Rou Dudu. The author is a veteran of the entertainment industry, and his last book was also written from the period. This book started with music, and the angle is quite interesting.

"Era: Starting from the Magic City Translation Studio", author: Ruyi Keyboard. The one above started out as a composer, and this one started out as a translated film.

"Return to 80: My Literary Life", author: Mori Wai. This book is also a writer + editor plot. However, in the early stage, the main character is a janitor. The plot is a little scattered and light. It would be perfect if it was more compact.

Okay, I’ve finished pushing the book, that’s it.

Looking forward to meeting you again in the next book.

Sitting at Jingting Pavilion on December 19th.
