Closing remarks(1/2)
First of all, let me say sorry. First, it was interrupted for so long, and second, it was because, to some extent, the completion was too hasty and suspected of being unfinished.
As for why I was anxious to finish the book, I will talk about it later, I will start from the beginning.
When I first opened the book, I said that "Sea of Spy" is not my first book, but it is definitely the first time I wrote this long book, and it is also the first time I have been on the shelves and earned royalties.
I still remember what the first book looks like.
That was nine years ago... a fantasy theme, signed by 100,000 words, the editor-in-chief was enlightened, the editor was the small formation, and the goose was the star-dance Jiushen of the old five bosses...
I wrote 200,000 words, but because my grades were too poor, I got it... I still hang it under the small trumpet.
After that, I wrote many beginnings one after another, some of which were 20,000 to 30,000 words, some of which were 50,000 to 60,000 words, and the longest one was 100,000 words, but because of my poor writing skills, I couldn't even pass the signing level.
Until 18th, when the business failed and owed a lot of debts, the collection call of the online loan made the mobile phones of relatives and friends almost explode...
First, by the end of the year, it is difficult to find a job, and second, it is because I have no shame to meet people, so I stay at home.
Disappointment, hesitation, confusion... There is also the desire to survive in these emotions.
Always have to have a meal!
Finally, after thinking about it, let’s write a book.
What if I can make a living?
Considering his writing skills and his past experience of repeated defeats, he finally chose a relatively unpopular and niche military channel, not for anything else, just to sign a contract.
With a nervous mood, I submitted the manuscript and submitted it internally. If nothing unexpected happens, I can sign the contract.
Then I excitedly posted a book...
At the beginning, I was very interested and inspired. When I wrote 100,000 yuan in one breath, I found something was wrong.
Why are your grades so poor?
I ran naked for the author of Maotong Channel. I have dozens or hundreds of collections a day. I still recommend my own books, but I only have more than a dozen collections a day?
It's really that bad?
Do you want to cut it?
After cutting, what if the next book is not OK?
Confused, I chose a compromise method: a major change, that is, delete these 100,000 words and start over...
Actually, looking back now, the one hundred thousand is not bad, I am panicked...
Then, another problem happened.
Although I have written many beginnings, in essence, I am still a new person who cannot be new. If I accidentally make a common sense mistake: as I deleted it, the book was actually blocked?
Nani?
I was so nervous that I sent a message on the site and a message to the editor, but I forgot that it was Saturday...
On Monday, the book was unblocked, but it was almost disqualified from the listing...
The grades are still as bad as ever, but I can only write with a bit of bullet.
Two months later, the book was put on the shelves, with 1,300 collections, 1,300 orders, 1,100 orders... It was thrown home!
At least 600 yuan is there to attend all the time every month, right?
Write it...
I didn't expect that it gradually improved, and the editor gave two more big recommendations...
The shelf on the end of November is more than 2,000 yuan per month, which is barely enough to cover living expenses. By the third month, the results have soared: the royalties have been tens of thousands!
But I was not happy for two months, and a new problem arose: the writing collapsed.
It is about four hundred chapters, which should be considered the fourth volume, that is, the volume of Fang Buwei burning big smoke.
It seems that there is no problem now, but this is modified.
When I first wrote this volume, I unknowingly put my real mentality into the protagonist. My thoughts were very radical and I believed that all drug traffickers should be killed, no matter what purpose he was for.
But Ignore the national conditions at that time...
Then, it started again, stopped updating, and overhauled... But I suffered a loss and learned to be smart. I won't delete it, and I will modify the original text.
But unexpectedly, after the modification, I read it: It was over, and the readers ran away halfway.
This is true. The orders before the change were nearly 1,500, and the orders were nearly 1,000. After the change, there were only more than 400 left in the orders...
But it is impossible to cut. Write down with tears in your mouth...
My grades gradually improved, but as I was writing, I became more and more arrogant.
It collapsed again!
It is also the biggest failure of this book: the Battle of Defense of Nanjing.
Actually, I've thought of it for a long time.
Although this is the first time I wrote a book, I have been an old reader for more than ten years. At least I know how terrifying 404 is.
Whether it is a book about the Republic of China, the Anti-Japanese War, or the Spy War, 99% of the authors will not write about the Nanjing Massacre. They either mention it or not, but only consider selective amnesia, or just mention a few simple sentences.
I thought about it at that time and avoided it in advance: at the end of November 1937, Fang Buwei escorted Gu Zhenlong back to his hometown in Guizhou and masturbated with bare hands.
The protagonist ended up deadly. According to the idea, he would have to lie down for half a year to heal. He would naturally follow the large army and retreat to Wuhan in advance to recuperate.
But who knows that I, who have never been angry with young people, will become a literary youth?
At that time, eight hundred were banned, and there were a lot of comments online that blamed relevant departments for not daring to face up to history.
I happened to check the information after the Nanjing Massacre. After seeing it, I flipped through it casually.
As a result, I saw something very strange: I don’t know if the impact is not good. A colonel from the General Political Department was interviewed and told the whole story: Please respect history! (I can’t find it online now, but I firmly believe that I have really seen it!)
Because there are clips of beautifying Sun Yuanliang in the film.
I dare not believe it, I checked it out carefully.
There is really!
After sorting out his mind, he couldn't help but guess: Could it be that the director and the Fei General's son are close friends?
I felt angry and couldn't even vomit it... The result was a ruthless heart: I wrote it out.
No matter how many people can see it, even if one can know how bastard the Flying General is, it is enough.
Therefore, this volume is so awkward: I am afraid of being considered as nothing in history, and even more afraid of 404. The protagonist dares not change anything except saving people, and no bastard dares to kill, and everything that should happen has happened...
Naturally, follow the bloody collapse.
This time it was more than half, and the results were lost by two-thirds...
It is fake to say that you don’t regret it, but you have written it all, hundreds of thousands of words. Can you still delete it and rewritten it like the previous two times?
I'm afraid it will collapse even more.
It was January and I had already started to think about how to finish the book.
And then until the end of April...
I, who had already started writing a new book, was so unexpected: I signed a long contract three days ago because of the contract issue.
The key is that I didn’t read at all, what are the terms in the contract?
What is the difference between this and joining the National Party in the winter of 1949?
To be honest, this incident has had a huge blow to me and I once had the idea of changing careers.
This is also the reason why the new book, which has been halted for so long in the past two months, has even been conceived for nearly two months and has just released 50,000 words, and is also a eunuch...
It was not until the new contract of China Literature was issued and the announcement was issued that confidence was slowly restored.
Of course, when I was in the mood to read the backend data, I realized that the results have been refreshed again...
You must finish the book.
After spending half a month, I reconceived the new book, thought about how to complete the old book, and then I started to make updates...
I think this ending is quite perfect.
With the plot developing to this point, there is no longer the protagonist's living space in China, and he only has the path to go abroad.
Because no one dares to believe him.
Of course, if you want to be water, you can still be water. The protagonist is abroad, but the plot of caring about the motherland and saving the country is nothing more than doing business, making money, and funding the domestic anti-Japanese routine.
[To be honest, I have been using wild fruit reading to read books and follow updates recently, changing sources and switching, and pronunciation aloud for many tones, www. Android and Apple are available.]
But I thought about it carefully and couldn't think of how outstanding it could be, because this is no longer a spy war, but a business war. Besides, I have already written it in this volume in Nanyang. If I write it again, I will repeat it...
And I can only write for four or five years, and I can't write about the plot related to our party, because this line is too vague and I don't know where the bottom line is.
If you are not careful, the book will be gone...
After thinking about it, I finally decided to finish the book by writing it here.
Even if there is a suspicion of being unfinished, it is still better than losing the book, right!
To be continued...
