In my opinion, self-introduction is equivalent to self-bragging. It was very embarrassing to ask me for this introduction. It shows that sometimes I am a shy boy. Fortunately, the boss of Sanjiang Pavilion corrected my incorrect concept, so,
Only then did the following wordy words come into being.
Before "Legend of Tycoon", I had three other works, "Entertainment Dynasty", "The Choice" and "The Spy". Of course, they have all been completed due to professional ethics, and I will not be stupid enough to leave evidence to be accused.
Of eunuchs.
"Entertainment Dynasty" has less than 600 subscriptions, and "Decision" has less than 80 subscriptions. Such numbers should be considered abysmal. Fortunately, I persevered and continued to create the entire book, not only to explain to book friends,
I still gave myself an explanation. I always think that if you can be a eunuch in creation, what else can you do in life that has a beginning and an end?
Persistence is something that is easy to say but hard to do. Just like some illegal thoughts are inevitable in life, the eunuch will appear like a ghost from time to time and interfere with the creation. I guess the authors all have a deep understanding of this. However,
You have to do something to keep yourself going, and at this time you have to beat yourself up. As a result, I was lucky enough to survive.
I don’t quite believe in the saying that one can become a master by enduring hardships. However, if you persevere, you will always gain something. I do believe that. After experiencing less than 80 subscriptions, the whole world will find it funny.
After what happened, I really feel fearless. What's so great about this is that the subscription is less than eight. It can be seen that sometimes suffering and hitting a wall are not necessarily bad things.
I am a fan of Hong Kong films. According to the movie, my previous three works were very CUTL, very extreme style works. This is obviously very different from ordinary commercial works. From this standpoint, CUTL films are not only faithful but also very extreme.
Movie fans are rarely interested in it, and the same is true for CUTL novels. I don’t know how many times I pestered Yi Zhe, one of the great masters of Qidian, for the previous subscription. This guy repeatedly beat me hard. If you want box office, you have to go commercial.
route.
After having fun three times according to my personal ideas, I decided to try the commercial route. So, compared with the previous three works, "Tycoon Legend" has nearly 8,000 subscriptions, which is definitely a success. It feels like I have finally made it through.
It's all flooding in my mind. It's really hard to understand without going through this process.
After struggling at the starting point for two years and writing four novels, I finally surfaced from the deep sea. Is it easy for me? How many people can endure such hardship and loneliness? If I can endure these hardships, then I want to be successful.
It's not that far off, even though success is defined differently in each other's eyes.
I dare not ignore the past two years. Even a blind person can see the gap between "Entertainment Dynasty" and "Tycoon Legend". What does this mean? Progress, I have continued to improve in the past two years. Over time
and make progress in creation. I never believe that I can be lucky enough to reach the sky in one step, so it is necessary to refine myself and equip myself with the conditions to reach the sky.
However, sometimes relying on luck is really not as good as relying on one's own strength. Strength is one's own, but luck is only temporary. After a long period of training, when I transformed from a novice to a veteran, I suddenly found myself
I have gained a lot in these two years, which is also a very precious foundation for success. At this time, the envy and complaints when I was a novice have disappeared over the past two years. This feeling can be remembered for a long time.
It took two years to hone myself and gain experience. This price is really not small. It is hard to imagine how many authors persisted. But I was lucky enough to persist, even in the tragic less than 80 subscriptions to "The Choice"
Every time, I persisted. Just like a movie director always avoids getting involved in subjects that are not suitable for him, I chose the movie subject that I am best at. I think this is a wise decision.
Speed is never the only thing. What readers want to appreciate is not text garbage. Therefore, as authors, professional ethics do not allow us to do this. I wrote one million words in two months, and I think this speed is not bad. However,
Readers may not know how hard it is. I get up at seven in the morning and write until seven in the evening. This is just for the promise I made to the readers. I promised to write at least 10,000 words a day, and I think I have achieved it.
Facing the computer screen for twelve hours a day, how painful it is, perhaps only the author can sympathize with it. However, I often think that if I continue to write like this, I estimate that I will lose at least ten years of my life. At the very least, I will suffer from back pain.
That's what happens to me all the time.
Is it worth it? Is it really worth pursuing speed at such a high cost? Is speed really suitable for every author? The only thing that can be said is that pursuing speed while ignoring quality is definitely not what readers want. If "Tycoon" is empty
If you have speed but don't have a certain quality, you definitely won't be able to get that kind of remuneration figure. At least, I'm always thinking about it and revising it.
I think I have chosen a route that suits me and strives to maintain quality while maintaining speed, but this may not be suitable for every author. Can you imagine Jin Yong writing a novel of four to five million words every month without revising it?
If that were true, then I swear, he would never be the classic he is today.
Let time and experience tell you what is the best route and method for you. If I had to do it again, I would never complain about low subscriptions or low clicks, because that is a valuable accumulation of experience. Not always in the world
Only geniuses can achieve success, and ordinary people can too, as long as you have the conditions for success.
Whether it is a CUTL novel or a commercial novel, it always requires the author to accurately position it. As said in "The Legend of Tycoon", the balance between literature and art and business is a dangerous tightrope. This is true for making movies, and the same is true for creating novels. In "Tycoon"
"In ", I can make Xiao Ran become the master of literature
A master director who balances art and business, but I know that before I am not strong enough, I can try to create CUTL novels and commercial novels alternately. You cannot create novels without enthusiasm, and CUTL will allow you to maintain your enthusiasm and passion. I think this
Maybe it's a way.
It suddenly occurred to me that readers' trust in authors is very important nowadays. Authors can do more to make readers trust us, such as trying not to make novels eunuchs. Fortunately, none of my four works has eunuchs. I think so
It’s enough for readers to trust me.
Chatting is always boring, and I believe readers who are reading this article will also find it boring. So, I think it’s time to end it. However, here is the last sentence - I believe persistence is victory!
