Chapter 109 Please listen to the dragon(2/2)
The moment the prelude started playing, the stadium, which had been so noisy before like a boiling cauldron, suddenly became quiet.
Then the chorus of 60,000 fans rang out:
"Arise - you who do not want to be slaves!"
It was like an electric current was spreading throughout the stadium, and everyone's hearts were shaken and goosebumps appeared all over their bodies.
Gentlemen, please listen to the roar of the dragon!

PS, there will be one update at 1 noon and the third update at 6 pm. Please vote for me!
PS2, it’s already 2.7 million words long, and it’s been serialized for almost a year. Still some people are saying that it’s too much foreshadowing and slow to write... Are you reading this book for the first time?
In order to pave the way for Hu Lai’s career in professional football, I wrote a total of 700,000 words about campus football. In order to pave the way for his experience in the Chinese Super League, I wrote another 700,000 words in the Chinese Football League. In order to prepare him for playing football abroad,
To pave the way, I paved the way for 2.2 million words...
It is my style to take pains to prepare and describe before important games. This is my style, and it is also the style of this book.
You are still talking about the foreshadowing and the slow pace. Didn’t the more than two million words of foreshadowing and the slow pace scare you away?
Before Hu Lai's first goal in the Premier League, I also spent a lot of pen and ink describing all aspects, and some people were impatient. But I insisted on writing because I knew it was necessary - I am the author of this book, and I am the world's author.
Creator, I know which descriptions are necessary and which descriptions are unnecessary.
In fact, after a lot of preparation, the explosion and aftertaste of Hu Lai's Premier League debut became more attractive, and the effect was indeed very good, both in terms of quantity in this chapter and in terms of subscriptions.
So I know what's good and what's bad.
To be honest, as an author who has been writing football novels for eighteen years, totaling more than 35 million words, I know how this book should be written:
This book has a slow pace and long foreshadowing style from the beginning. It uses sufficiently delicate descriptions and writing to lead everyone to integrate Hu Lai into this world that is different from the real football world. Therefore, it is different from previous novels based on real football.
I have no choice but to write about many things. I have to write them thoroughly. Because I am actually shaping a world.
Judging from Hu Lai's playing style, he is not the type who carries the ball everywhere and is everywhere, but a shadow killer. Naturally, the pen and ink and perspective cannot be focused on the protagonist alone. He must be divided into different parts.
Give a lot of space to other characters.
Only through the description of a large number of characters and plots other than the protagonist on and off the scene can a believable and immersive world be formed.
This is also the reason why this book did so poorly at the beginning, and I felt very painful inside, but I still insisted on writing this book according to the established rhythm and planned pace.
Because if I don’t write it like this, this book will be completely useless and useless. Then I might as well write a simple and direct novice-style cool article from the beginning, maybe the subscription score will be higher than this book...
But no.
Now that I have chosen to shape this book in my current style, I will stick to it.
From the beginning to the end of this book, I will maintain this rhythm, laying the groundwork before important games and events, and describing people and things that make some people impatient.
This is my attitude and persistence as a creator.
Because I know that only in this way can I write this book well and make Hu Lai's story and this world have a beginning and an end.
When this book is finished, in ten years, there will be people who are willing to read it over and over again and be moved by the people in the book and the stories that happened.
This is my ambition in this book. It has nothing to do with subscription results. I just want to give myself an explanation.
Chapter completed!
