A healing writer? No, it's a depressing writer!

Chapter 257 I will never regret coming to China in this life, and I will still grow flowers in the next life! Today, the era that belongs to Jiang Hai has arrived!
A writer's inspiration usually comes in the middle of the night when no one is paying attention, and his thoughts flow like a waterfall.

Strangely enough, there are huge differences in the writing styles of male and female writers.

When writing a book, female writers often choose to go to bed at 11 o'clock in the evening and get up at 8 o'clock in the morning when they are full of energy. After getting up, they tidy up the room, eat their favorite breakfast, and water the pleasing green plants and potted plants.

After completing the necessary preparations before writing this series.

Only then will I sit down at my desk with peace of mind and start to create intensively:

"Let me take a look at what I wrote yesterday. I feel like the outline is not well planned. Let me revise it."

Male writers are completely different from female writers. Most of them choose to create at night when no one is around, which is completely different from the detailed preparations of female writers before creation.

What preparations do male writers need to make before writing?
I'll have a little cigarette.
What should I do if I’m running out of inspiration and can’t write?
I'll have a little cigarette.
I’m stuck and can’t figure out the next plot. What should I do?
I'll have a little cigarette.
Compared to some writers who have a lot of ideas and write as if they were inspired by God, and their writing is as smooth as a bowel movement, the current situation of most writers is:

A bowl of rice, a pack of cigarettes, and a thousand words to write a day.

It is also for this reason that quite a number of "writers" have not even written two books, but have instead become addicted to smoking, which is extremely difficult to quit.

But obviously, the writer knocking on the door is one of them.

"Dong dong dong dong——"

Accompanied by a violent knock on the door.

Jiang Hai opened the door and the person who came into his sight was Su Tong, a member of the presidium of the China Writers Association and a lifetime honorary professor of literature at Beijing Normal University.

In fact, Su Tong's original name is not Su Tong. Just like "Lu Xun" is just Zhou Shuren's pen name, Su Tong's real name is Tong Zhonggui. Unlike the celebrities in TV interviews and magazine reports, Su Tong's personality is not the serious type. On the contrary, he is very easy-going and it is easy to get along with him.

The door opened, and Jiang Hai looked at the excited Su Tong and wondered:
"Lao Tong, what are you doing so late at night?"

"There's no need to make such a big fuss."

Su Tong's hair looked a little messy. Even though he was already old, the passion he revealed for literary creation was totally inconsistent with his age.

He danced with joy and told him excitedly:
"Jiang Hai, I have a great idea. Let me tell you."

It is hard to imagine that an old man who is already in his sixties could knock on Jiang Hai's door at 2:30 in the morning.

Then, with energy and passion, Jiang Hai talked about the differences between Eastern and Western literature.

"I found that Western literature uses a lot of words to describe scenery. For example, in Cervantes' Don Quixote, Cervantes used a lot of scenery and the makeup and hair of the protagonist Alonso Quijano to highlight the chivalrous spirit that was unique to that era."

"Our oriental literature focuses on writing plots. If I can combine the plot with the background of the times and describe the historical architecture of medieval ancient China from a foreigner's perspective, such as the Silk Road, then I think this type of work will definitely be widely welcomed by readers."

There is often a fine line between genius and madness.

The older generation of writers do have a resilience in their bones.

If you don't really have a passion for it, it would be hard to pretend to be full of energy and vitality at the age of 60, with stars in your eyes when you mention creation.

It was already 2:30 in the morning, but Su Tong still showed no sign of tiredness. She blocked herself at the door and kept talking, her words flowing like the Yellow River.

A word instantly popped up in Jiang Hai's mind -

Re-employment for the elderly!

Sixty years old is the right age to go out and explore the world.

This sentence was perfectly embodied in Su Tong.

Today's society is full of lifeless young people and energetic old people.

Whenever young people work until 2 a.m., with dark circles under their eyes and full of fatigue and sleepiness, the first thing they say is:
"I *you*!"

"I work overtime for you every day. I work overtime until 2 or 3 o'clock every day. What kind of cow or horse am I? Cows and horses at least have rest time, but I don't even have rest time. What a stupid company. I'll fuck your whole family."

Although they both work overtime until 2 o'clock, the young people are more resentful and talk about their mothers every other sentence.

Older people are much calmer.

They are full of positive emotions:

"tired?"

"Why are you tired?"

“I’m not tired at all. I’m doing what I love.”

I stood at the door and chatted with Su Tong for more than half an hour.

Jiang Hai became more sleepy the more they talked, but Su Tong, on the contrary, became more energetic.

Looking at Su Tong who was talking incessantly.

Jiang Hai felt more and more:

“No wonder retirement is delayed to 65?”

"This old man is at the right age to venture out and explore the world."

Looking down at the time, it was almost three o'clock. Jiang Hai wanted to get rid of him but couldn't speak directly, so he pointed at his watch and took the opportunity to change the subject:

"Not sleepy yet?"

"Would you like to come in and sit for a while?"

A normal person should be able to understand the implicit meaning at this time, which is that it is too late and he wants to rest.

But how many people who write books are normal?

"Is it okay?" Su Tong said seriously. She walked past Jiang Hai without hesitation and entered Jiang Hai's room. "I knew we could get along well since you are still so energetic in the middle of the night."

"Then let's continue chatting."

"Let me tell you, I always believe that there is a trend of gradual integration of Eastern and Western cultures." Su Tong walked into Jiang Hai's room while chatting with him. "As long as we can grasp this trend of cultural integration, we will definitely be able to grasp the pain points of the market."

As Su Tong was talking, she happened to see a striking line of text in the middle of Jiang Hai's computer screen.

"The Sun Also Rises"

"This..." When Su Tong saw the title of the book, she was stunned for a moment, "Is this your new book?"

Jiang Hai nodded decisively: "Yes."

Su Tong was puzzled: "Didn't you say that you would not participate in this East-West seminar and exchange meeting?"

Facing Su Tong's question, Jiang Hai smiled:
"I changed my mind."

Su Tong pointed at the computer screen: "Do you mind if I take a look?"

"It's okay." Jiang Hai walked to the sofa and sat down, assuming a comfortable sleeping position. "You can look at it as you like, as long as you don't disturb my rest."

Do you want to ask Jiang Hai if he is afraid that his new book will be leaked?
This is certainly nothing to be afraid of.

The book "The Sun Also Rises" only has a brief outline, and the rest of the content can only be regarded as the beginning of the first 20,000 words at best.

Can we really deduce the plot of the entire book based on this rough beginning?
I can only say that this person is a deity.
Every author, when creating works on the same subject, will have a different writing style and different ideas.

Even if you are given an exactly the same outline, you still won't be able to write the content that follows the story because of differences in ideas and writing styles.

For example, you and Li Bai are walking on the street and meet a woman with eyes as bright as autumn water and a figure as gentle as clouds.

Seeing this beautiful woman who is as perfect as the ideal in the world.

Li Bai would appreciate the beauty of this woman, and then exclaim from the bottom of his heart:
"Clouds think about clothes and flowers, and the spring breeze blows on the threshold of Revlon."

And you, my friend.

When you see a beautiful woman, you can only stammer and then, after a long while, your face turns red before you utter one sentence:
"This girl is really awesome."

For example, you and a talented game commentator jointly commentate on a highly competitive PVP (five-player PVP) game.

Although, before the explanation, your leader repeatedly emphasized to you:
"Literary talent, you must pay attention to literary talent!"

“You need to let the audience feel the professionalism and high quality of our commentary.”

The game is intense, and the atmosphere is ignited by the players' performance. Your partner can't help but get involved, and then he says:
"It's like a devil descending from the sky, he is really the Tai Sui God on earth!"

“This Jax—” It should have been your turn to speak.

Even so, it was well prepared.

But thousands of thoughts passed through my brain, and the words on my lips could not react in time, so I could only forcibly transform them into two big words:

“Awesome!!!”

Literary creation itself requires a lot of inspiration.

Even if you are given a general direction and asked to write according to it, you still cannot write it, because you can never imitate the flavor that the author himself wrote when he wrote.
I am not worried at all about my novel being copied or even plagiarized.

Jiang Hai leaned on the sofa and shouted to Su Tong who was concentrating on reading the computer screen:
"Lao Tong, you watch me. I can't hold on any longer. Let me take a rest first."

"Please understand that we young people cannot compare with you old people."

This week has been a very tragic week.

The flagship animation of CCTV Children’s Channel’s prime time, “The Divine Chef Little Fugui” has officially come to an end.

This tragedy does not only refer to the tragedy of the audience's reaction, it involves all aspects -

Firstly, the tragic and depressing animation "The Godly Chef Fugui" leaves a strong aftereffect on the audience after watching it.

Even though the official ending of the screening had already happened seven days ago.

But even today, there are still many people who cannot accept the ending of the animation:

"Xiao Fugui, how could it be so miserable?"

"Such a tragic story, you call it a cartoon?"

Secondly, due to the completion of "The Divine Chef Little Fugui", the prime time broadcasting period of CCTV Children's Channel, that is, from 19:21 to :, was suddenly interrupted.

This prompted many other animation production teams that were eyeing this time slot to act quickly.

Competition between various animation production groups——

Very tragic!
What time is it now?
The era of traffic!

In an era where traffic is king, everyone knows very well that if you put a cartoon of the same quality in prime time, that is, from 19:21 to :, it will get a higher rating than the evening show.

It will just be different!
And it is very different!
Who doesn’t want the animations produced by their company to look better in terms of data?
Who doesn’t want to add a few more honors to their resume?

In the past, under the suppression of "The Divine Chef Xiao Fugui", major animation production teams had no intention of competing for the prime time of CCTV. After all, the hard power was there, and it was a well-deserved ratings champion.

However, whenever "The Divine Chef Xiao Fugui" came to an end, all kinds of evildoers with their own ulterior motives would emerge in an instant.

In order to obtain the prime time of CCTV Children's Channel, major animation production organizations.

The Eight Immortals cross the sea, each showing their magical powers.
They make good use of water armies and the Internet to give themselves crazy praise and spread rumors about their opponents.

He is very knowledgeable about social relationships and takes care of the internal staff of the TV station during festivals and holidays.

Of course, there are also people who give gifts directly to the Master.

In order to occupy the evening broadcast time of CCTV Children's Channel, major animation production organizations have tried every possible means!

Market level——

Everyone sighed with regret over the ending of "The Divine Chef Xiao Fugui".

Media field——

Everyone was fighting fiercely over the final ownership of the program during CCTV's prime time.

Then, as the instigator of all this, CAFA Animation Studio——

What are you doing now?
Chenghai Drama Academy, Animation Studio.

Office area.

Everyone gathered in groups on the left and right, discussing almost frantically:

"Have you heard? This is really awesome! I heard that the military has stepped in and our studio's upcoming project, Year Hare Affair, will become a propaganda animation for military recruitment in war zones! Our studio is really awesome this time!"

"Oh my god? A military recruitment animation? Is the real "That Rabbit" so awesome? It hasn't even aired yet, but it's already been targeted by the military?"

"I heard that the authorities are planning to conduct a patriotic propaganda campaign. Coincidentally, the subject matter of 'That Rabbit' meets the propaganda standards of the Central Propaganda Department. This time, it will not only be premiered on CCTV, but also on all online platforms at the same time."

"If you hadn't told me, I wouldn't have thought that 'That Rabbit' was so awesome? I didn't expect that a cartoon could be related to the military?"

“Is the news authentic? Why do I feel it’s not reliable?”

"It's absolutely true! I'm telling you, the man who just went into the conference room with Principal Song to discuss something is Colonel Chu from the National Defense Propaganda Department! Even Colonel Chu is here, how can this be false?"

Everyone was frantically discussing the truth of this rumor.

It was at this time.

Meeting room, door open.

A tall man in military uniform, with a red five-pointed star cap badge and two-bar four-star epaulettes on his shoulders, walked out of the conference room with Principal Song Huimei.

The group was escorted to the office door.

The soldier, who was very generous, stretched out his right hand and said in a loud voice:

"Principal Song, thank you for your hard work!"

"It's my duty." Principal Song Huimei shook hands with the soldier and replied with a smile, "Spreading patriotism among the people is what we should do. You are too polite."

Wait until the two of them exchanged greetings for a while.

Colonel Chu walked out of the office in a hurry.

A large group of people immediately gathered around Principal Song Huimei, their eyes full of curiosity:
"I heard that we are going to cooperate with the military this time?"

"Is it true, Headmaster?"

Song Huimei smiled with relief and was about to speak:
"That's right, we"

Unexpectedly, he didn't even wait for her to finish her words.

Suddenly, there was a burst of excited shouting at the workstation:
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!"

What's wrong???
Everyone looked in the direction where the sound came from.

Chen Hanying was seen holding the phone in both hands, with undisguised excitement in her eyes.

"Hanying, what are you doing?"

In the face of people's inquiries.

Chen Hanying directly showed the screen of her mobile phone to everyone:

"See for yourselves!"

On my phone, there is a promotional slogan for “Year Hare Affair” released by the Southern Theater Command using its official media account:

[Every rabbit has a dream of becoming a great country, and our journey is to the stars and the sea! ]

[I will never regret coming to China in this life, and I will still grow flowers in my next life]

That was when everyone was excited and celebrating the in-depth cooperation between the animation studio and the military.

Suzhou, Government Hall.

A reading room with a very old-fashioned decoration.

Jiang Hai sat on the armchair, holding a literary work written by British writer Aaron Carr, "This Book Can Help You Quit Smoking", and read it carefully word by word.

After a while.
He lit a cigarette, savoring the contents of the book while slowly exhaling a thick white mist from his mouth:

"This book seems to have some truth in it."
