Without money, what is the point of being a traitor?
Chapter 107 Remarks on the launch
Chapter 107 Remarks on the launch
Let me tell you the origin of this story. It’s quite bizarre.
This was an inspiration I got last year. It was because of the big environment. Those who understand will understand. So I wanted to write something very inspiring at the time. Because of some of my real feelings, what I wanted to express was also relatively straightforward.
The theme is to make peace with yourself, don't waste your energy, face your own embarrassment calmly, and then work hard to solve it.
Pretty positive energy, right?
So at the beginning, such a despicable urban character was created, and the plot of the story focuses on the joy of counting money.
Then there was no contract.
I turned around and wrote two more openings. One was about the Three Kingdoms, because I was very good at writing the Three Kingdoms, so it was more stable. The other was about a fairy tale, which was about a shameless person who wanted to be subscribed.
But, I didn’t pass the internal vote either.
Later, I encountered a lot of things and was in a low period.
So I started submitting my works to various organizations, giving three beginnings to three editors, and kept submitting them.
Then I experienced a great miracle day in the afternoon, and people got the three openings. The reason why I call that afternoon a great miracle day is that on that most depressing and low afternoon, all my decisions were correct and had repercussions. In many aspects.
Because Shui Mo replied first and gave me the first ray of hope, I decided to write this book.
Of course, in order to pass the manuscript, the author was possessed by Pei Yuan and did some low-level things.
First I added a system, and then I only sent the first three chapters, which had a faster pace, to the editor...
My initial idea for this book was to write about urban ghost life, so the pace was slow in the early stages. At that time, I thought I wanted to be the Dong Yuhui of online literature, chatting and laughing about history with readers in a relaxed environment, and the story was just a diversion.
Later I found that it didn’t work because it was difficult to grasp the rhythm and I am not good at writing about everyday life.
At that time, I was just yang, and it was in the test water recommendation period. I was drowsy with fever during the day, and woke up at night and couldn't fall asleep. Then I turned on the audiobook, listened to my own novel next to my pillow, and then fell asleep.
After waking up, I figured it out in the morning. At least my writing is very comfortable and has a sense of fluency.
It’s hard to write about daily life, so I’ll just write about big plots. I’m really good at writing big plots anyway.
The protagonist is Jinyiwei, who is convenient for making trouble. The era is the ten years after Zhengde and the first ten years before Jiajing, which are all stories.
So now it has become like this.
Let’s talk about a few points that are more controversial among readers.
One point is that some readers don’t like system-based writing. Here I want to say that the original manuscript of the book did not have a system, and the protagonist also relied on a series of low-level operations to solve the problem, but he couldn’t sign the contract. Later, he signed it after adding the system, so…
There is no other meaning here, and I also agree with the editor's opinion, because now we must respect the market trend. History is originally a niche, and it cannot be more niche.
The second point is that there is too much historical background to introduce.
I have considered this very carefully and weighed the pros and cons for a long time, but I still decided to keep it.
The reasons are very deep.
What is the essence of historical literature? It is a common people!
If you don't understand this point, you won't be able to resolve the most common conflicts between readers and authors.
Readers who like historical literature often have a sufficient understanding of the history of a specific period and specific characters after reading dozens of books, and have formed their own cognition. In this case, how can a Datong person succeed in writing a new story without erasing the readers' original cognition?
If I don't lay the groundwork layer by layer and build up the background of my world, something troublesome will happen later on.
——Readers will use the settings of other books to fit the characters in my story.
Then, when things turned out to be different from what he expected, he started to feel dissatisfied.
By then, if you win the argument, the readers will run away. If you lose the argument, the readers will also run away.
So I would rather make some sacrifices and perfect my worldview in the early stages.
Let me give you a simple example. For example, I repeatedly use the No. 1 courtesan in Hangzhou as a unit of measurement, hoping to establish a value system that is easy to understand. Otherwise, readers who read other books about courtesans who spend tens of thousands of taels of silver would not be able to empathize with the protagonist when they see him fall into trouble because of a few hundred taels of silver.
So I have to seriously look up historical materials to tell you that there were ghosts in the Ming Dynasty and the society was very outrageous.
Only with these backgrounds can readers believe the rationality of the novel's interpretation. When readers are willing to believe the author's narration, they can get into the rhythm when I write nonsense later.
Another point is that I hope everyone will not make random substitutions.
It's terrible to encounter this in historical texts.
What is history?
When we look at history, we are not looking at a series of stories, but at individual human natures.
Therefore, there is no repetition or similarity in history. What repeats itself is only human nature.
Please try not to make comparisons deliberately.
————————————————————Dividing line————————————————————————————
Now it’s time to finally arrange the bowls.
Lao Guo once said it well: There is no gentleman, and there is no artist to support.
You're talking about me.
So I hope everyone can subscribe and support us.
The outline of this book is actually quite clear, and the detailed outline will be completed in the next few weeks.
Well, due to some practical reasons, I still care about the results. I will compile a rough outline based on the initial subscription situation. If the results are good, it will be more than two million words. If the results are not good, I will control it to about one million words.
The first VIP chapter will be updated tomorrow afternoon, and there will probably be 3-5 more chapters in succession, depending on today's writing pace. I originally wanted to save some manuscripts, but due to various reasons I didn't manage to save them, but I got an extra words for free, which is a great honor.
If the first order today exceeds 1,000, we will continue to add more in the next few days. I have never seen a leader before, so I'd better be realistic and wait until I have one before I can decide how to add more.
I personally recommend that you watch it as soon as possible, because the review may be stricter after it is put on the shelves, and it may not be as original as the first time you watch it after repeated revisions.
New users who have not recharged can also use chapter cards. The tutorial is at the end of Chapter 0104. Xoxo.
