Rebirth 07: Start adding points from elementary school students

Chapter 209 This Book is Golden

Since it was put on the shelves at midnight on January 2009, 1, and updated to today, April 17, Li Yan's online article has been updated with nearly 4 words. With the strong support of Kaiyuan, it has successfully obtained key recommendations after being put on the shelves twice.

With the average subscription exceeding 6,000, Kaiyuan happily stated that Li Yan’s qualification to attend this year’s Origin Annual Meeting was secured. He also confidently stated that he wanted to see “which older junior high school student it was.”

But this is not enough. Li Yan is not too excited. For him, from the very beginning, there is no option to be satisfied with just getting the badge of excellence.

Even if it is a random writer, when he cannot sign a contract, he will envy the authors with a contract level. But when he signs a contract, his circle will be full of people who have signed contracts, and the signing of the contract becomes worthless.

All subsequent performance nodes are the same. If you have collected 5,000 collections and are far ahead of other newcomers of the same period, then you will not care about the circle of "newcomers of the same period", but look at the group of people with at least 5,000 collections.

At this time, entering Wensi Pavilion was an unattainable achievement, but once I really entered Wensi Pavilion, the only things I would see were these books in Wensi Pavilion.

We will always compare ourselves with those who are better than ourselves, so being content is a kind of wisdom.

Li Yan's book had a great start. Kaiyuan gave him the editor's recommendation once every six months, and he was successfully listed on Wensi Pavilion. Shenxu Gongzi also got a Golden Alliance. A complete newcomer writing about an unpopular subject was given the opening treatment that only great authors can get.

In the later stage, the quality was guaranteed while updating frequently, which can be regarded as the ultimate in luck and hard work.

But the results were not good enough, not good enough for Li Yan.

Since it is a masterpiece, why can't it have 10,000 orders? If it has 10,000 orders, why doesn't it leave its name in the history of online literature?
Everyone wants to do this, but this cannot be achieved simply by updating frequently. It requires a brilliant climax that will make the readers climax.

But how easy is this? Seven hundred thousand words, a full seven hundred thousand words, he still hasn't reached the climax, and there are still undercurrents and foreshadowings.

If it weren't for the frequent updates, I'm afraid readers would have finished reading it long ago.

It’s not that Kaiyuan hasn’t approached him before, and every time he has expressed confidence that he can handle it.

In fact, I was still a little nervous. Li Yan was writing a group portrait 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 out of control.

He originally thought that with his intelligence and language proficiency at the time, he was fully capable of connecting all the details and foreshadowing in the previous text at the critical moment, stringing together the several lines of the group portrait, and detonating them the moment he entered the Yubang Kingdom City.

But he overlooked one thing: daily serialization is not only difficult for readers to follow, but also difficult for the author to write.

If Li Yan writes from the moment she wakes up until she goes to bed every day for half a year, she may be able to finish it in one go. However, when readers complain that "it feels intermittent" and "I feel nothing after reading it for too long every day", Li Yan herself feels the same way.

Especially in ensemble dramas, the perspectives will switch. When he had a flash of inspiration when writing the protagonist, it is really hard to remember his original feelings after coming back after the perspective switches.

This is also an important reason why he has found it difficult to write recently. He is afraid that he has forgotten some foreshadowing.

Li Yan even thought of asking others to help find foreshadowing. After searching for a long time, he found that only Li Ruofei was more suitable. As a result, Li Ruofei read the first twenty chapters and sorted out four "pitfalls" that might affect the subsequent plot.

And the result that Li Yan saw himself was thirty-two.

For readers, many places are not foreshadowing. Readers will only notice Chekov's pistol and not some of the subsequent responses.

This is just the result of the different perspectives of the author and the reader.

Therefore, he could only watch it himself, then record some possible "pitfalls" and then connect them together.

Li Yan couldn't stand it anymore after only doing this for one afternoon.

There is no soul, it would be better not to fill the hole.

The original exquisite idea turned into a mechanical explanation, which was lengthy and boring, and did not give him the shocking experience he wanted.

It's like putting a label on it to tell the readers, "This echoes XX! Am I awesome?"

However, his troubles were solved when his intelligence improved.

When loading the same novel game, Li Yan's brain was only enough to support area-based loading. When the protagonist took action, the NPCs in this area were active, and other areas were stagnant. Therefore, he had to sort out the timeline and put his main energy on "how to make it reasonable". It would be a miracle if the climax could be exciting.

Now he can make the entire world run in sync, making 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 own behavioral logic during the time period not written in the novel, and it will be deduced in Li Yan's brain.

Every character is Flaubert's Madame Bovary.

At this time, Li Yan's rigorous logic, perfect settings and sufficient information in the early stage produced amazing results.

The interaction of all things has its own internal logic. The clearer and stronger the chain of links, the more spontaneous the people in the book can act.

In other words, the fate of the characters in the book is no longer controlled by the author.

A smart person will not force himself to lower his intelligence at a critical moment, and a person who cannot escape death will not force himself to survive just because he is the protagonist's relative or friend.

Victory or not has nothing to do with justice or evil, the protagonist or the villain. If the writing is bad in the beginning and the villain's status is raised desperately, there is no possibility for the protagonist to win unless the author forcibly uses a deus ex machina to give him a cheat.

Seven hundred thousand words, five years have passed in the book, Nangong Li and Zhongli Wuyu are on a mission of revenge, Tan Jiuxiao assists on the way but has his own agenda, the Thirteen Divisions of Yubang are divided, the young general is confused from killing enemies, the toad ghost hides in the shadows, the court infighting related to the prince's rebellion, the Nine Dragons God Army returns to the court, the Tongxintongde Society bites everywhere like a mad dog, and the Nineteen Guardians of Kaitian who do not intervene on the surface but actually join the game, and the emperor Yu Tiandan who holds the Emperor's Sword in the center of the vortex...

Various forces with their own ulterior motives collided at the same place. Some were enlightened, some came to an end, some won a great victory, some fled in fear, some broke all the laws with one force, some pacified the world with wisdom, some made their ambitions clear, some betrayed, some hid, some showed their cards... Li Yan maintained an excited look, left the classroom in silence, returned to the dormitory, and immediately turned on his laptop.

These characters were performing a grand epic in Li Yan's mind, and Li Yan's fingers were flying on the computer keyboard, completely entering a flow state.

He didn't even realize that his roommate had returned, nor did he hear him greet him.

"This... again?" Zhu Qinglun asked.

"Writing flow." Li Ruofei's eyes were full of envy. "Don't disturb me at this time. Many masterpieces in history did not come from hard training day after day, but from such a flash of genius."

"It's really mysterious." Lin Heng nodded.

It was almost eleven o'clock when Li Yan's teeth-grinding keyboard typing finally stopped.

He went through the entire climax thoroughly, and the keyboard was almost smoking.

Li Yan even felt that her brain was beating in sync with her heart.

It was like returning from heaven to earth, and everything around me seemed a little hazy.

"Sorry everyone, we've been arguing so late." Li Yan scratched his head and tried to relax himself.

"Nothing, nothing, but what are you doing?" Liang Tiancheng asked for everyone.

"Internet novel."

In fact, everyone knows.

"What's the name?"

"Don't tell me yet, you will know soon."

We'll know soon? Is this some new type of pretense?

Li Yan stretched lazily, "If you don't know by then, I'll tell you again. Give me a chance to show off."

"Do you need us to give you a chance to show off?" After Lin Heng said this, everyone laughed.

Li Yan took her phone and went into the bathroom to brush her teeth, and simultaneously sent a message to Kai Yuan:

Yuan Da, I made it.

Kaiyuan replied immediately: What is that?
Li Yan: Climax.

Kaiyuan misunderstood: You don’t have to tell me this, or rather, you can’t tell me this.

Li Yan: I’m talking about the climax of the novel!

After several seconds, he replied:

That's what I mean, the climax is here, I'm also a reader, I'm looking forward to it. I mean don't spoil it.

Li Yan: I have an idea. Let’s change the name of “The White-Haired Emperor Sword” back to “Nangong Youth”.

Kaiyuan was silent for several seconds: So you also think this name is not good?

Li Yan: I don’t think it’s bad, I just think the original one is better and more appropriate.

Kaiyuan: But your original name doesn’t attract much attention!

Li Yan: Is the name Baifa attractive?
Kaiyuan: The main thing is that you have written 700,000 words in this book. You are really not afraid of death if you change the name at this time!
Li Yan: There are more than 3,000 people following this book. They have been waiting for this climax for a long time. Before this climax, nothing else matters. It is fine to keep the original cover image and change the title.

Kaiyuan is still struggling.

Li Yan returned to his seat, sent the climax outline he had just written, and said:
If Yuan Da had followed it all the way, I believe you would not be disappointed with this plot.

Kaiyuan looked at it for fifteen minutes before replying:

I think this book is fucking gold! Are you sure you want to change the name?

change.

I'll arrange it for you tomorrow!

Li Yan's mouth corners curled up. Some of the trees that had been planted were almost ready to be harvested.
