Xia You Arbor: Looking to Heaven

Chapter 1 Preface
A girl who works hard, I am willing to escort you all the time
——Write to Ziyue

As the editor in charge of Ziyue, I have always wanted to write something for her.

I once wrote the most sensational preface to Zhang Yunxin's "Moonlight Over the Pearl Summer", and the most sincere recommendation to Mo Xiaoba's "Happy Banquet".

But Ziyue, from the summer of 09, I signed her first draft "Xia You Qiao Mu Yawang Paradise" to her fourth book "Chu Chen, I Forgot You on Purpose" (including the story of being killed as The scrapped 15-word "So We Don't Meet Again"), I wrote many versions of copywriting and book reviews for her, but I didn't write directly what I wanted to say to her.

Because I have always felt that it is not yet time, and I can wait a little longer. This girl can still be better, and she should have a higher sky. When that time comes, I will praise her again.

We have worked together for five years, from 09 to now, from [Xia Mu] at the beginning to [Chu Chen] later, I seldom praised her directly. "Three-dimensional" and "add some small plots to support the young man's silent liking", I was always urging her to revise, write, and make plans for her. At the beginning, she was disgusted, resisted, and disgusted. I remember [Xia Mu 1], the ending We revised it three times, and the last time she handed in the manuscript, she told me: "If it doesn't work, I will terminate the contract, and I refuse to make any more revisions." Now, she has become a person who feels The plot of the manuscript was not in place and she worked hard for more than a dozen times. At the beginning of "Chu Chen", she deleted [-] or [-] words, rewritten and rewritten it over and over again.Now she is far better than five years ago, but now she is also far more diligent than that time.

But I seem to always be strict with her, and also strict with my own production.I can cheat her entire 15-word manuscript and ask her to rewrite the [original] manuscript from beginning to end. I believe those who have read the trial version will still remember this manuscript. Many readers are asking why it hasn’t been published yet. out?When will it be listed?Why didn't I see the serialization?
It's not that the manuscript is really bad, but that my expectations for her are still higher.I think she could have written better.

I really don't have any partiality, and I take every book absolutely seriously.

So I can write a plan for a week, more than 5000 words before and after, and there are six or seven pages in the printout. It is the thickest book plan I have ever written, and that plan is the [Xia Youqiaomu] series.

I remember that after reading the full draft of Chuchen, the first sentence I said to Ziyue was: "Let's make a series, it's all about beautiful young people, Chuchen, Xia Mu, Qu Weiran..."

This is a proposal that hit it off. I have to say that after five years of running-in, Ziyue and I have gradually found each other's position. I have changed from a small editor who needs the editor's help to point out and revise the cover text, to now I can independently plan. The planning editor of the best-selling series, and Ziyue has grown from an unknown Jinjiang author to a best-selling tragic author of Huahuo.I watched her come over bit by bit. She is different from a full-time writer who has enough time to write and revise the manuscript. She is an office worker like me. She has to go to work during the day and can only write manuscripts at night. When she was in bed, she could stay up for several days, lock herself in a small dark room, turn off all the Internet and communications, but still go to the office in good spirits during the day.

Most of the time, I don't know how she survived the high pressure. I often worry that she will fall asleep standing up on the way to work.

But fortunately, God did not disappoint her.

In 2010, Xia Mu’s best-selling book was reprinted and translated to Korea by enthusiastic readers, and the handwritten Xia Mu was circulated among readers;

In 2012, the first print of Xiamu 2 exceeded 12, and it was sold out of stock. The Xiamu series has sold a total of 60 copies;

In 2013, even before it was launched in the early morning, the pre-orders were already unprecedentedly popular.

Up to now, Xia Mu's reprint is coming soon.

All this made me feel a lot of emotions. [Xia Mu] is Ziyue's first book I made, and it is also my first big project that I value very much.In the past five years, it has been reprinted many times, signed a film and television contract, will soon be made into a movie, and will be known to more readers and fans.

I know, it's time, I should praise this girl, this girl who climbs step by step like a snail, this girl who writes until her hand cramps, this girl who has revised and discarded words for more than a dozen times and finally published two books , she was very tired and hard, and the climb was slow, but it was worth it!Yes or no?

She may not be the best in this circle, but she must be the uncrowned queen in her own kingdom.Each of her books carries her wholeheartedness with life, each of her characters empties the limited destiny she has experienced, and each relationship she writes drains all her capacity for love.Every teenager she writes is desperate and sensitive, poignant but affectionate, willing to fall into a desperate situation for love.They're all telling you—

17 years old, likes a person, is willing to do everything for her, and picks the stars.

From 09 to 13, these were her best five years, and they were also mine.

We have also argued over the manuscript and fought coldly over the plot, but we are all working hard for the same thing, we are all recording youth, our own and everyone's.

I know we will continue to record.

Summerwood 3...

Early morning 2...

……

These schedules fill up your calendar.

I know, you will "work hard" again.

So, dear girl, run, God she will bless you!
And I will be waiting for you in the next season of [Xia Mu]!
