I Am a Master of Light Novels in Japan

Sawamura Sayuri’s beautiful black hair dampened in the rain all of a sudden, her delicate and smooth face was quickly covered with water drops, and her delicate temperament added a sense of charm, and she showed a faint smile. , Looked at Li Yan and explained.

"..." Li Yan was stunned for a moment, unable to speak for a while, and had to say that a sentence of sharing happiness and suffering is more shocking than a thousand words.

"By the way, since we are all getting wet, let's just take our lunch a little bit slower. I asked my assistant to help us locate a wing room. Don’t you see that this rain scene is also a kind of encounter? I want to be in Walk around in this rainy scene, Uesugi-sensei, can you accompany me and talk about your concerns?

Standing in the rain, Sawamura Sayuri turned around and looked at the lush city park not far away, then turned her head, her bright and clear eyes looked at him, and she smiled as Xinghua back. Asked with a faint smile.

Chapter 179 Light Novel Master and Novel's Gamble

The sky was a little dim, and the patter of rain fell on this quiet forest and green leaves, the green trees and lawn leaves were hanging slightly, the stone steps were already wet, and the ticking sound sounded from the umbrella overhead.

Located in a wooded park in a city on the fringe of Tokyo, it seems that there are few people in the park when it rains. Although the scale of this wooded park is not comparable to Jingu Park, it feels like entering a deep forest. Ethereal and tranquil.

"Yu Jing is so beautiful, there is no one..."

Sawamura Sayuri looked around, her long black hair was a little wet, with crystal clear raindrops on the ends of her hair, and the transparent raincoat on her body was also a little wet. Under the umbrella held up by Li Yan, she watched with great interest. Looking at the scenery, I realized that there were not many tourists along the way, and said with some regret.

"It's raining after all, and it's a relatively remote area in the city. It's normal that tourists are scarce." Li Yan on the side had expected it a long time ago and explained.

"Yeah...That's right. I have always been a freelance worker, regardless of working hours, place of work, and work orders... Basically, I took it over by myself. I don't really understand the kind of work that office workers do five days a week. The life experience of two days off sometimes feels very unstable, but freelancers also have their own unique benefits."

Sayuri Sawamura pondered for a while, then smiled, and sighed with Li Yan's emotion at the moment.

"..." Listening to Sayuri's emotion, Li Yan suddenly felt thoughtful.

Isn't the so-called light novel writer also a type of occupation defined as [freelance]? Sawamura Sayuri is active as an illustrator on various occasions like Yinglili, but from the perspective of experience and level, Sawamura Sayuri can not only be Yinglili's predecessor, perhaps his own creative qualifications are also an example for her. Newcomer.

Originally Sayuri planned to take off her raincoat, but was finally stopped by Li Yan. She always felt that this young girl lived a very autonomous life, and also had a romantic atmosphere. In her mature heart, she had a relationship with life and life. The passion of creation and the heart of love.

At this moment, Sawamura Sayuri, wearing a raincoat in a gorgeous kimono, raised her head slightly and looked at the dripping leaves. Her eyes seemed to be fascinated by all the beautiful scenery in front of her. Her skin was snowy, and her eyes were like a puff of clear water, looking forward On the occasion, he has a refined and elegant temperament, let others take it, ashamed of himself, and dare not blaspheme. However, that beautiful and agile posture is fascinating, and I can't help but see the beauty of this beauty.

Li Yan silently observed this girl from the Zecun family a little bit, and to be honest, after a thousand people have seen it, Li Yan still can't see how old this young lady from Zecun really is.

"What are you looking at?"

Sayuri stood on the stone steps for a moment, then looked at Li Yan, smiled and asked.

"No, it's nothing." Li Yan immediately looked away and said under the guise.

"...Hehe, I always think you are a little weird today, I guess, have you encountered any disturbing things recently... and it's not a big deal, but it will make you very confused for a while, I'm right. wrong?"

Sayuri Sawamura thought for a while, analyzed and reasoned, and finally asked with a smile.

In the patter of rain, Li Yan's expression suddenly became surprised, looked at Sayuri Sawamura, and asked: "This...how did you see it..."

"I am a professional illustrator, but a professional illustrator has a pair of eyes that can see through everything." Sayuri responded with a sense of confidence.

The painter’s eyes can observe every second change in the appearance and heart of the character. Although Eriri has once heard that this sentence is proudly said, but now Shiina is really white with amazing insight, and there is always mysteriousness in front of him. Sawamura Sayuri, they seem to be really good at talking and acting, which has to make Li Yan have to believe a little.

"So, although I can feel it, I don't know what you are worrying about. If you have troubles, do you need to talk to me? Although it may not be able to help you, the troubles in my heart are like wine. Over time, it will confuse your eyes."

After Sayuri Sawamura finished speaking, she smiled.

Li Yan was silent for a moment. After some simple thoughts, he finally said to Sayuri Sawamura, "Thank you, Miss Sawamura. Actually... I am about writing and my future. doubt……"

As a result, the two stood under the eaves of an ancient building. Li Yan said in the rain that he was unable to write recently, and that some friends and younger generations around him were confused by his prompts after they improved.

The gray sky made a dull "bang" sound, the gray clouds rolled, and the time was approaching 11:20. After listening to Li Yan quietly, Sayuri Sawamura's eyes were a little distracted at first, and then immediately Yes, but seemed to understand the direction of the other party's troubles, and smiled slightly.

Isn't such a gentle female smile also an intoxicating "wine"?

"I see, that's how it is. Your troubles are similar to what I used to be, but it's very positive, Uesugi-sensei."

Sawamura Sayuri raised her head and looked at the falling raindrops. Her voice was a little lowered, as if she was recalling her past. After a moment of silence, she went on to say, "This is the creator's bottleneck."

"Bottle... bottleneck?!"

Li Yan was taken aback for a moment, and his heart suddenly became cold, and asked.

"Yes, this is the so-called level of creation that has progressed to a certain point, and suddenly stagnated or even regressed. We call it the bottleneck period. Just like a wine bottle, the air always wants to get out of the bottle. , But the more you go up, the smaller the bottle, and in the end, the cork on it will block your further ascent."

Sawamura Sayuri looked at Li Yan and joked, "Your writing ability is very good. I originally thought you would only feel it when you graduated from college, but you deserve to be an old thief, so soon you noticed that you are in front of you. There are still shortcomings that need improvement."

"...The old thief's name is forgive me, but isn't the bottleneck period the Cavan? The Cavan phenomenon in my writing has always been there. Recently, Cavan has become more and more powerful. Is this the bottleneck period everyone calls it? "

Li Yan trembled as soon as he heard the old thief. At first, it sounded like the endorsement of the reader’s complex emotions for me, but since he was surrounded by them the last time, he knew that this word was. Full of resentment. However, Li Yan didn't quite understand the bottleneck period in Sayuri's words, and unexpectedly predicted that he would have such anguished feeling when he graduated from college. The phenomenon of Calvin almost always exists.

Sayuri Sawamura smiled gently, lowered her head and thought for a while, and said, "Wrong, maybe some people call Cavan as the bottleneck period, but the lack of inspiration does not affect your own creative level. Uesugi-sensei, the creator is actually In many cases, writing, painting, and music cannot be cultivated at all. In fact, many people are not suitable for training in these fields, because their emotions may not be so strong, and they do not like to express themselves. This is the so-called talent difference. The essence of art is human emotions. All art integrates the emotions of the author into a carrier and shows the knowledge that resonates with others. This is art."

She pointed to the drop of water in front of her, and said, "For example, like these scenes in front of you, everyone would think that the rain scene is very beautiful, but in my eyes, the rain scene is indeed beautiful, but in my heart It is a kind of sentimental beauty, and it is also a kind of natural bleak beauty. Many kinds of emotions are rich in this scenery. It is necessary to use a brush to integrate this mood into the painting. In what way should I express it... …This is the problem of level determination. When you write a novel, it is not just the different expressions of a story, the expression of the text, the setting of the story theme, the purpose of writing, etc., all because your consciousness is constantly changing, it is progress in the end It’s still unclear if you regress, but if one day you are not satisfied with the work you have written, if you want to write a work that is more representative of your heart, but there are great risks and obstructions, this is what I mentioned. Bottleneck."

"..."

Li Yan listened quietly, what was said by Sayuri Sawamura, and it was true.

"Therefore, creators should not be lost, nor should they lose the motivation to make progress. If you lose the purpose of creating and still have enthusiasm, then no matter how high your creative talents are, you can only be exhausted. Remember, don't let you forget the mood of your creation." Sayuri Sawamura looked directly into Li Yan's eyes with her eyes, reminding.

"...I understand, Miss Zecun." Li Yan realized the most important thing in this sentence from Zecun's eyes, and after a moment of silence, he agreed to say.

"So, how should I break through such a predicament... I still didn't want to pass." Li Yan sighed, looking at the umbrella with drops of water in his hand, and said.

"Well, everyone has their own different dilemmas, and it cannot be generalized... When I was a child, I was born in a very strict family. I was originally a traditional Japanese family, but I was deeply attracted by Japanese manga. At that time, I was still sighing [It's really Japan]. I gave up my training in ink painting. I almost secretly taught myself anime painting under the pressure of my family against the pressure of my family. I even planned to win the Tezuka Award, but because I watched it occasionally. After the interaction between the male classmates, by mistake, I took another path..."

Sayuri Sawamura said with a smile while recalling, but when it came to another road, she suddenly reacted, coughing a few times to cover up her wrong words, but Li Yan recalled Sayuri in his mind. The scene of the child BL was painted in front of him, making him stare at the rotten girl speechlessly.

"I have encountered a lot of setbacks and failures in my painting skills. The most difficult bottleneck for me is...At one time, I realized that animation is no longer realistic and no longer looks so interesting...Suddenly Some of them couldn’t hold the paintbrush. It was very painful at that time. I obviously didn’t want to give up, but my heart was so tired. As a result, I rekindled it after searching for the moving things that existed in reality. The enthusiasm for illustrations and comics, you can use it as a reference."

When Sayuri Sawamura was speaking, she closed her eyes and was immersed in her own experience. Then she opened her eyes and said with a smile.

With the ticking rain, Li Yan kept thinking about Sayuri Sawamura’s words, which is indeed the case. After experiencing too many things, his illusions and current situation are slowly affecting his heart. .

Moreover, from the beginning of writing to the present, he can only rely on the editing system to help grade, write commercial works, more than a year, he can only get the best grades of A+, after careful thinking, he Really ordinary level, perhaps many of them can only be written to the B level. The editing system is a very helpful system, but when I think about it seriously, it is a fig leaf that blinds his eyes, so that he has not been able to improve half a point... …

The closer he got to the truth, the more he made Li Yan's heart tumbling, and this time his discovery made his inner conflicts aggravated.

Li Yan looked at his hand silently, the five fingers that were aching due to the writing and code words, his quiet eyes became a little uneasy, and said: "I understand, thank you for your reminder, Miss Zecun, today I have something to say to me. It helped a lot. I probably understand why I got stuck in a bottleneck, and why... I'm lost."

"That's good."

Sayuri Sawamura said with a faint smile: "But, I can't decide your future. You still have time to think about it. I think if you don't have enough time, it doesn't matter if you write slowly. Writing and work are not necessarily true. It’s the enemy, and sometimes, it may also be your assistant."

The rain in front of her was gradually getting smaller, and Sayuri Sawamura looked in her eyes, knowing that the time was almost up, he hesitated for a while, and said, "Let’s go back, Mr. Uesugi."

"Okay." Li Yan looked at Sawamura Sayuri. He reopened the umbrella and put it over Sayuri's body.

"By the way... I asked you to come out on Saturday. Will it bother you to write the seventh volume?" Sawamura Sayuri remembered something, turned her face to look at him, and asked.

"Nothing, the draft was almost finished. Tomorrow, I will also go to the junior high school garden festival. I have to send the first draft to the editor before Tuesday, so I still have a lot of time." Li Yan said.
