Without dreams, what is the difference between you and a salted fish?
…
In 2004, I started serializing SC: Flowers of the Other Side at Qidian. When I had written about 500,000 words, an editor asked me to sign a contract. I was on the road of no return with coding, and that would be my official debut.
I didn't understand anything at the time, so I had to go to work every day and write about three thousand words every day, but I unexpectedly received one to two thousand yuan in manuscript fees every month.
A very good income.
It's like getting an extra job.
I had a dream then.
My dream is that if I like writing stories and books so much, can I make coding my main job? Can I stop working two jobs and write books as a career?
So after the second book "Rogue Master" signed by Qidian was released, I updated it at least three times a day with more than 9,000 words.
At that time, the coding speed was very fast.
And looking back now, I admire myself very much.
Because after get off work, I had a simple dinner and then took a notebook and typed it out on the bed.
At that time, there were no dormitories in the factory. In order to save money, I lived in an old house that was vacant from a colleague's house. It had no decorations and didn't even have a proper desk. I could only lie on the bed and put my notebook on my knees to type.
As a result, the rogue master became famous.
The next book in Rogue Master is The Immortal Clerk.
At that time, because of the publication in Taiwan and the popularity accumulated by the gangster master, the income did not drop much.
After the fairy clerk finished writing, he raised his eyebrows with a few pieces of Chinese-made hair.
Performance has been declining.
When domestic products were paid in small and medium-sized jobs, the salary for working in the company increased, but the income from writing books was not as high as the salary from the company.
When it came time to raise my eyebrows, my grades slipped a bit.
It feels like this road is a bit dead.
I thought I could never give up no matter what.
So I update five chapters a day.
Fifteen thousand words updated every day.
I was still working at that time, and when I got home from get off work every day, the conditions were still not very good. There was no study room, so I could only code on the dining table. I wrote five chapters a day, coded until late at night, and got up early the next morning to go to work.
At that time, my home was on the second floor, and the ground floor below was a store. I couldn't sleep even if I wanted to in the morning.
But I finally persisted.
At that time, I felt that the transformation was a bit unworkable, so although I was unwilling to do so, I knew that if I didn't write Rogue Master 2, I might not be able to get started.
So I bite the bullet and write Rogue Master 2 and keep fighting.
At least 12,000 to 15,000 words per day.
During this period my daughter was born.
Roguelike 2 is a hit again.
Various rankings.
Then I went to Zongheng and wrote about Luofu.
This time is 2009.
It took five years and seven books to complete my original dream.
After Luofu is the road to heaven.
The launch of Road to Heaven had an unusual meaning. At that time, our group of people came here to buy all the books for free to gain popularity.
The release of Road to Heaven is a no-brainer, and no one knows how many subscriptions Zongheng will have.
The number of subscriptions for Road to Heaven exceeded 10,000 within 13 days. Later, with the addition of monthly subscriptions, it quickly exceeded 20,000 subscriptions.
Road to Heaven will be followed by Immortal Demon Transformation, God of Destruction of Ice and Fire, Sword Dynasty, World of Immortal Heroes, and Ping Tian Ce.
At this time, a reporter who was interviewing me asked me, "Not guilty, what is your dream?"
My answer has been the same countless times.
I'm not saying that Harry Potter is not good, but I hope that our local originality, which belongs to our culture with Chinese characteristics, can be as successful as Harry Potter.
I really want to see our sword energy and flying swords galloping on the big screen, instead of sitting on a broomstick and flying around playing with balls.
Jianghu Night Rain Ten Years Lamp.
In the blink of an eye, I have been writing for fifteen years, and including some things that have not yet been completed, it has exceeded 40 million words.
How many setbacks have you encountered?
Too many to count.
During the time of Fairies and Demons and God of Destruction, simplified Chinese publishing was very popular, so the writing would be as young as possible, and elements such as academies would be added. If you have good publishing results, you can get more attention and have the opportunity to adapt these stories.
On the silver screen.
Then there was a sudden crackdown on fantasy publishing. The publisher couldn't get the edition number and stopped publishing a few books.
I was depressed for many days and couldn't eat.
Later, I always felt that if I wanted to understand the true meaning of my story through the adaptation, it was best for me to be able to control it, so I decided to start a film and television company without hesitation, and established Beijing Huihuang.
Then I learned a lot, invested a lot, and produced a lot of things, and then I realized that it's really not that simple.
When it comes to money, it always feels like going against your dreams, but I really don’t have the money to even do a special effect.
Then the epidemic came again...
…
Dreams seem to be good if they become alive.
Provide for your family well and don't think too much.
My body and strength are not as good as before.
I used to be able to type three chapters a day just by carrying a notebook and placing it on my knees on the bed after work. Now I have extreme self-discipline. I must go to bed at 10:30 every night, get up at 7:30 in the morning, and start typing at 9 am, but I continue to type until the afternoon.
At half past three, when I finished two chapters, I felt an indescribable uncomfortable feeling in my bones.
Exercise for forty minutes after 3:30.
When I'm typing again in the evening, I need a cup of strong coffee.
When I opened this book, The King of Tribulations, I said that I would keep updating it quickly.
So many years of experience tell me that I am not the kind of person who is a genius and can really go against the will of others by writing a book casually. God rewards hard work, which is more suitable for me. And I have always believed that online articles must be updated every day because of this.
Maintaining an extremely fast creative environment, it is almost impossible to be remembered in history and surpass those great writers. I would better recognize the reality.
Some new authors will leave messages in the middle of the night to say that I am only as good as a master. I don’t follow the rules of the three golden chapters. I can’t tell who the protagonist is in the first few chapters. My books are all better than yours.
Okay, why are you so popular?
In fact, it doesn't matter, because in the past fifteen years, I have not given up on any book. I have used my best efforts to finish each book, and I have tried my best to write the best in my current state.
I finish every book carefully.
There are many people who do not appreciate diligent authors, but many people will support them.
In fact, many people don't even have the patience to read a book and have already made a conclusion. For example, after Ping Tiance finished this book, some critics, even some buyers' critics, actually put forward their opinions. I understood that he actually didn't even
I haven’t even finished the book, and I still don’t understand what the whole story is about.
No one can please all readers.
I just want to be myself. Everyone should have their own different way of writing. Don’t limit yourself to the three golden chapters, let alone comment on how you should write.
Every author should create different fireworks.
Luofu, Road to Heaven, Transformation of Immortals and Demons, Sword Dynasty, Pingtian Ce, Rogue Master... The King of Tribulation.
I will try my best to stay in the best state of myself at different times of my creation.
Although the writing style of the book "The King of Tribulation" is as relaxed as a rogue master's, the story is more complicated than any previous book.
The identity of the monk who quarreled with Xin Ming in the Qibao Ancient Domain, the female cultivator with the black tree, including Ye Jiuyue and others... The struggle between the Local Continent and the Central God Continent, the chaos between the Chaos Continent and the Central God Continent
Old events, the changes in Wang Li's body, why the Three Saints stopped fighting, the conflict between the Three Saints, the rise of the Fourth Saint... I can't guarantee how powerful the story will be, but it will be very interesting.
I sincerely hope that readers who like this book can subscribe to support it.
Because this is really the most basic question.
I want to eat and support my family.
Each chapter subscription is the best thing you can give the author.
Too cruel.
For new writers who are interested in writing books, writing a book may be about poetry and distant places, but for experienced authors, it is about food, clothing, and daily necessities.
I can continue to work hard for my dreams.
You can use extreme self-discipline to maintain a good creative state.
But if you don’t subscribe, let alone a dream, don’t say you are a great person, you are really worse than a salted fish.
