End of this testimonial
When the last stroke fell, Lao Teng's feelings were hard to describe in words.
It has been two years and one month since the conception and writing was launched on May 1st and the release on August 1st.
There are so many things that happened during this period, so I won’t talk about them one by one. In short, Lao Teng learned a lot from this process and gained a lot.
Okay, let’s not express any emotion, let’s talk about the situation of this book in detail.
In fact, at this moment, Lao Teng knew that there must be countless book friends who like "Spy Shadow" scolding, complaining, and complaining that Lao Teng had not completed the promise to them and did not continue to write the book.
In fact, Lao Teng is also blaming himself. The fact that this book can achieve today's results is not how well written by Lao Teng, but the selfless support of the majority of book friends who like "Spy Shadow".
But the story will eventually end one day, and the reason why it ends like this is based on the following reasons.
First, and the most important point, Lao Teng's body really can't hold on anymore. Lao Teng is fifty years old and is not a full-time author. Because of the tight time and anxiety, and the interruption of physical exercise for two years, the consequences still appear. At the end of last year, my physical condition took a sharp turn. This was introduced in the previous single chapter, so I won't say more. This led to problems with my updates. The number of updates in a month was delayed for three months before I finished writing it. It was really tormented, so I had to stop and have a good rest.
Second, it is the copyright issue. Thanks to everyone's love, "Spy Shadow" has performed very well. Last year's monthly ticket ranking was third, and the copyright was sold quickly and smoothly. However, according to the contract, "Spy Shadow" required it to be completed at the end of the year, but because of a sudden physical problem, I delayed it again and again. Until now, I have to give the copyright owner an explanation and can't delay it anymore!
Third, that is the problem of the work itself. Lao Teng used to discover that in some works, especially military history works, there will be a difficult contradiction, that is, in the early stages of the protagonist, because he is on the front line of the struggle, he personally dealt with the problem, which gives book friends a strong sense of substitution and the work's eye-catching ability is also very strong.
However, in the later stage, as the protagonist's identity becomes higher and higher, it is difficult to get in touch with specific matters on the front line, and the protagonist becomes an optional spokesperson, reducing his presence.
For example, a soldier, who is very skilled in martial arts, charges and defeats powerful enemies, is a great pleasure, but in the end he has been upgraded to the Grand Marshal, and it is impossible to charge again. At most, with a command, there is no more passionate description. When the work is written here, the book friends lack a sense of substitution and it is time to end.
But although Lao Teng knew this problem, it was difficult to solve it. The protagonist Ning Zhiheng personally led the action in the early stage and killed all sides. It was really good. The book friends also had a strong sense of immersion. However, when he later took a high position and became the top intelligence boss among both China and Japan, he would not be able to rush to the front line again.
Lao Teng could already feel this problem since Ning Zhiheng's operation to clear Japanese spies in Chongqing. In the chapter after returning to Shanghai, although Lao Teng tried hard to let Ning Zhiheng get as much contact with specific affairs as possible, he could not completely solve this problem.
At the end of the writing, it was difficult for Lao Teng to concentrate his writing on the protagonist. Many of them describe some supporting roles. In this way, the supporting roles must be described vividly to prevent book friends from getting bored. This is indeed difficult, and it also increases the difficulty of writing a lot.
So I decided that in the next book, I will describe the combat career of a grassroots agent, and not be too high to avoid this problem, try to focus on the protagonist as much as possible, increase the sense of substitution among book friends, and hope to make a breakthrough.
Finally, in this book, there were many storylines worth writing during the five years between 1941 and 1946. Although I had already written the outline, I had to give up in the end. These were narratives in the final chapter 2 and the final chapter 3.
For example, the operation to clear Japanese spies in Changsha, the operation to clear Japanese spies in Chongqing again, and the most worthy moment in Chinese intelligence history before the Pearl Harbor incident, especially the battle process after He Siming went to Xiamen Special High School, etc., etc., can be written in detail.
If there was an author or a book friend of the Spy Shadow, who was willing to write a fan novel and describe these plots that I had not completed, it would also fill the gap for the work "Spy Shadow", Lao Teng would definitely be very grateful!
Okay, I won’t say much. In short, thank you again for your company. With you, Lao Teng has the motivation to get to where he is today.
Thank you! Looking forward to joining hands with you again to share the sequel!
Chapter completed!
