Chapter 87 A Few Little Things

Originally, it was just a few words of modestness and politeness. For Liu Jingting, it was a small matter. When he was thinking about replying, he felt that there were too many words and sentences to use, but once he held the pen and posted the letter, he suddenly didn't know where to start writing. This feeling was very familiar to him.

In that world, in addition to reading a lot of books, Liu Jingting also wrote two occasionally. The common situation is that he didn't know how to start, but started, and continued for hundreds or thousands of words. He felt that he had written a piece of shit, and he was angry and tear the paper, and then entered the stage of not knowing how to start...

Vicious cycle!

Many writers have this kind of problem. There is such a big world in their minds, and they will be broken when they write it. They don’t look at it and see it. After seeing other people’s words, they can’t help but feel that they can do better.

The picture is figurative thinking, the text is abstract thinking, and writing is a process of transforming figurative thinking into abstract thinking. The advantages and disadvantages of writers are often reflected in this process.

After Liu Jingting had a lot of works in his mind, his experience became more and more profound. He felt that the world constructed by the authors was actually not complicated, but was actually very ordinary. Why didn’t he do it well at the beginning?

I spent a long time to figure out this issue. I seemed to have mentioned it to Mi Hu before. The biggest taboo in creating a story is to be unconfident. If you make a story, you don’t even believe it yourself. How can you let others believe it and how can you give others the feeling of being there?

The story worlds he thought were ordinary before actually never existed. If it weren't for the author's creation of such a world with his own imagination and creativity, it would never exist. When such a world is created, it seems very simple to look at it. I don't remember the effort that the creator spent when constructing this world.

Like the Hogwarts School in "Harry Potter", this school has never existed. It is an architectural miracle built by the author brick by brick in his mind. I believe that many readers were shocked when they first saw this wonderful castle, and the first time they saw this, the shock in their hearts was no less than Harry Potter himself. This is particularly true for viewers who have watched the movie.

When the author describes such a school, he must have believed in its existence.

So, that's the same sentence. The first thing you need to do when making a story is to be fearful of the unknown world. Don't worry that the scenes and characters you create are too false, and be confident and unconditional.

This is the ultimate conclusion that Liu Jingting came to after he arrived in this world. It can be seen from this that for a writer who is not a talented person, reading more is a necessary step.

Liu Jingting held the water pen in his hand and thought for a long time. He suddenly came to his senses and now he wanted to reply to Professor Chen.

In this era, paper letters gradually became rare, but because they were rare, they seemed solemn. They were a school professor. They took time to write letters and make an appointment with him, which shows their sincerity.

Liu Jingting sorted out his thinking and began to write:

"Professor Chen, the letter has been conveyed by Qianhong. I heard it so hard that I was frightened."

After writing this, he hesitated again. According to the usual practice, the next step should be to be humble and humble. Similar to several clumsy works, there are many immature aspects. He only laughed at the grand family. However, he really could not define the previous books as "clumsy works". He pondered for a moment and continued to write: "Martial arts are often regarded as paths. Prejudice has a long history. Unexpectedly, Professor Chen had no thoughts and wrote a letter to him calmly, which shows how broad the mind of studying is, and how sincere it is to encourage the advancing of the backwards is sincerely admired."

These sentences are true, but they are not just flattering. Even in that world, before classic works such as "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" were released, the status of martial arts novels was a bit of a clever path. Countless traditional writers of other types had ridiculous words. At this time, the situation in this world is obvious.

For some reason, at this time, Liu Jingting suddenly remembered the scene of Thirteen Yan when she was about to leave in "Mei Lanfang" directed by Chen Kaige in that world. After defeating Mei Lanfang, Thirteen Yan said the last sentence to Mei Lanfang with tears in her eyes: "I hope we can improve our status a little..."

At the beginning, any literary and artistic form would have such expectations, hoping that their status in this industry could be "improved a little" and respected by the public.

So how to improve it? The key is that the artists themselves need to give outstanding works. "Farewell My Concubine" created by Mei Lanfang and "Drunk Concubine" are popular throughout the era. Its artistic value has lasted for a long time and is still talked about by people today - this is status.

"However, at this time, the students are still very kind of innocence and have a lot of trivial matters. If they are not ready to meet everyone, everything will be ready in the future. They must visit them in person and put their pens in a hurry to wish you peace and happiness to the younger generations of mediocre students."

This sentence is purely... nonsense. It is not that he is determined to avoid Professor Chen, but that he really doesn't want to do this now. He meets the professor, gives speeches, does activities, lectures, interviews, press conferences...

After Liu Jingting finished writing the letter, he was about to put it in the envelope, but he was always uneasy, so he added his own wc number to the end.

...

After sending the letter, I walked slowly to the dormitory. Suddenly, a scent of spicy hot pot came to my nose. I was so excited that I took out my cell phone and called my roommate.

Just as I was about to call Zhao Kan, the phone suddenly rang out by itself, but it was Lu Yichou who called.

"Hey, Mr. Lu?"

"Sorry, I just finished the meeting and called me. Didn't disturb you?"

"It's okay, I just sent a letter to Professor Chen and was heading to the dormitory."

"Send a letter? Oh, don't go?"

Liu Jingting smiled embarrassedly and said, "Yes, learning is more important."

Of course, Lu Yichou knew that this was an excuse, and did not expose it, saying, "Editor Wei and I guessed it. It's okay, there will always be a chance in the future."

"Well, Mr. Lu has something to do?"

"By the way, I'll discuss with you something about the meeting. We decided to combine "The Sword of the Yue Girl" and "The White Horse Screaming the West Wind" into a collection of short and medium stories to publish, but the two articles seem to be in scale. I mean, is it possible to publish another article recently, with three stories, and make a collection."

Liu Jingting thought to himself, "That's a coincidence." He replied, "This is no problem."

"That's good. I'm worried that you are too busy and don't have time to do this. I don't have to hurry. The initial decision is to do this at the beginning of next year, so there should be plenty of time."

"Early the year? It won't be New Year's Day, right?" Liu Jingting asked when he thought of some possibility.

Lu Yichou paused and said, "That's a current plan."

Liu Jingting then suddenly realized that this meant that he wanted to pursue Xue Muliang, but according to Xue's current popularity, this novel collection has little chance of winning. Could it be that Qianhong has no confidence in Han Shuo?

Liu Jingting didn't want to guess the details too much, and agreed: "The manuscript will come out as soon as possible."

"Okay, take care of yourself."

...

After hanging up Lu Yichou's phone number and continued to call Zhao Kan. As soon as he found his name, he suddenly saw a familiar girl. He immediately changed his mind and changed to dialing Yu Xiaoshu. At this moment, Liu Jingting saw another delicate boy walking to Ye Chi with a few skewers of squids and feeding the squids into the girl's mouth.
