This is the best of times, and this is the worst of times.
A minute ago, I wanted to write a name like this on Word. This kind of name that even I don't understand would make me seem very implicit. Because many years ago, I felt that the so-called implicit mostly referred to things that I couldn't understand.
Many years ago, I started writing when I was in the fourth grade of primary school. Later on, there was online literature. That was during the early days of chaos. The concept of online literature was not as clear as it is now with traditional literature. When I wrote something and posted it on the internet, I didn't feel any difference from my previous writing. Now, we can only call ourselves writers, but not necessarily authors. The good and the bad are actually all here.
But most of the time, I still don't feel any difference, because fundamentally, I still write these things with the attitude of writing traditional literature.
Literature is about communication. In addition to actual recording, another function of words is to communicate. The so-called communication is only the key to two points: the heart of the author, and the heart of the reader. Words are a medium, after all, this is a kind of psychological transmission.
When the concept of online literature became clear, Banana thought about what was the advantage of online literature, and what was the advantage of traditional literature … Because regardless of whether it was online literature or traditional literature, although the two were far apart in the eyes of some people, to Banana, the center was always clear. It was still conveying, in the heart of the author, in the heart of the reader, and the center did not change.
Over the years, I have seen many people only see the low threshold of online literature, poor quality, impetuous people, and a sense of superiority when writing traditional literature. But I didn't realize that the appearance of online literature proved a fact — in fact, this fact existed a long time ago, but it was not obvious at that time, it was not urgent — If you want to explain a principle, why not make your story vivid first? If you really want others to listen to you, why not look at what others need?
At the level of the human heart, this is a direction. It has been the most authentic direction of literature from the beginning to the end. Online literature is just constantly developing in this direction, ignoring the rest. It could even be said that in the concept of literature, the aspect that concerned the reader was the most authentic. Of course, if a book was entirely written by the author, then there was no need to care about all these. It was indeed authentic literature and should be respected.
There was also a good side to traditional literature, a very good side. Their details were sculpted and embellished, not to fill up the word count or deliberately mystifying, but to make the entire process of conveying more concrete and powerful. For example, the protagonist of "The Ordinary World", Sun Shaoping, was just a poor child who didn't even have clothes to wear. Later on, he became a coal miner. However, his girlfriend was the daughter of a provincial newspaper reporter, and she was the daughter of a government official. The whole book showed the style of an era, and it was very realistic and reasonable … If it was put into a web novel, it would obviously be a YY plot. Hehe, please don't look at this word in a derogatory way.
These things could be conveyed more deeply, making the feeling more three-dimensional and deeper. Be it traditional literature or online literature, they were all integrated into one. Web literature was impetuous, and traditional literature was superior. But how many people who took the traditional route really understood the details and the meaning of the writing style? Most of them were just deliberately mystifying.
A few days ago, there was a self-proclaimed Master of Arts who wrote a post in the book review section, saying that he couldn't see the structure of the book at all. He then said that a literary work should have a few chapters. I think he got it wrong, or the experts in society got it wrong. The title was wrong. This is a "Master of Arts". As for "Master of Arts", don't insult literature. Since the fourth year of primary school, I have always looked down on people who only follow the rules and don't use their brains.
Online literature has always been impetuous, and traditional literature is gradually becoming rigid. All these years, I've been reading historical stories — hey, don't think that I'm incompetent, I've also read quite a lot — history is not used to give us a sense of superiority. Just like the debate about Yuan Chonghuan a few years ago, in the end, 90% of the people were using history as cannon fodder, putting labels on others. The more knowledgeable people are, the stronger their sense of superiority is. But that is not history, it is just a way for humans to gain a sense of superiority. Just like some people use patriotism to pick up girls, some use patriotism to wash the floor, some use patriotism to put labels on people. Some people saw a girl wearing a traditional Chinese dress during a patriotic parade and thought it was a kimono. They asked the other party to take it off and burn it on the spot, and even after finding out that the other party was wearing a traditional Chinese dress, they said that to appease the thousands of people below, they had to burn it like a kimono on the spot. Of course, that is not patriotism.
If you really understand history, there are only five bloody words in it: falling behind means being beaten. If history is a mirror, literature is like this at this time. Online literature may one day settle down, and traditional literature can only be more humble and carefully look at what is in online literature. Otherwise, if there is no more, then there is no more.
I have exaggerated.
Hipsters are like this. They can't help but say too much, but I still want to write these down. Maybe ten years later, when I look back, people will say that Banana has foresight or something. Of course, it might just be the ravings of a delusional person.
Next, I will talk about some simple things.
I never thought that this book would achieve such results. It is really too unexpected.
At present, it has been number one for three weeks in a row. The key is not only that, but it has also achieved the number one weekly point under the current update. From the beginning, Banana has been looking for the balance between traditional literature and online literature. Several years have passed. If you are a reader who has been following me, you can probably see the trajectory of Banana's search for balance. Writing style, expression, YY, the results of these books are actually improving, but I never thought that my son-in-law would reach this step. Thank you for your support and attention.
Some time ago, I was preparing to open this book at home. Then, when I had some free time, I even started to exercise. Then, one day, someone suddenly told me that I will be number one weekly point and that I will be going to Sanjiang. I said how is that possible, but it really happened. Some time ago, Zongheng also approached me. As an author, I have to admit that I have no ill feelings towards any website. But at that time, I rejected the offer, mainly because Qidian is more suitable for me.
Maybe some people think that a relatively quiet environment is better for writing, and it is easier for them to settle down. But for me, I hope to improve more. All these years, I have been thinking about what readers need and how to dig deeper. If there are not enough readers, how can I grasp my direction? I am actually a person who cares about opinions the most. I have my own way of summarizing the opinions, tendencies, and moods of hundreds and thousands of readers. In fact, I think about it every day.
There are many authors who are better than me at Qidian, and there are also many who are really talented. Banana is not a talented person. He is a stubborn person. Once he has set a direction, he will keep going. I have also thought that one day, if I can find my own balance and become familiar with it, I will also be able to achieve very good results at Qidian. I don't know if my son-in-law's results will be short-lived, but no matter what, at least it has proved that my direction might be right.
Some things about the future plot. Let's look ahead. Some people read the first part of the book and thought that this book is about a leisurely life. Probably not. As mentioned earlier, there may be domineering, war, hegemony, farming, martial arts, and the life of picking up girls. I don't care about the type of plot. To me, there are no new or old plots. Only the word "story" is important. I will not write a story for the plot, I will write the plot for the story.
Yep, everyone just needs to wait and see what happens next.
After entering V, I will try to speed up the updates as much as possible, but it is hard to say by how much. Sometimes, readers will ask me on QQ how fast I write, and where did all the time go. A few days ago, someone could write three to four thousand words in an hour, and asked me how much I can write in an hour. I said the ideal situation is around one thousand words per hour, and he said that you are really serious. Actually, it is not like that. Before writing, I will sit in front of the computer and prepare everyone's emotions. Then, I will substitute everyone in the chapter in my mind. I will look at their actions, what is reasonable, try to figure out their dialogue, and how to fit their settings and psychology. Then, when the scene is basically done and there is no conflict with the setting, I will spend a few hours writing. The ideal situation is a thousand words per hour, but I will also stop halfway and walk back and forth to think.
A few days ago, when I started writing A Night of Dancing Fish and Dragon, I overwrote the chapter three times to get four thousand words. Then, I cut down another thousand words and made some changes before publishing it. This process took 13 hours, and I did not even eat for 13 hours … This kind of situation is common. So, some people will ask me what I do all day. To be honest, I spend all day thinking about the plot in front of the computer. It is considered good if I can finish a chapter in seven hours. If I am in a good mood, I can eat in the middle. When I am unable to write, my scalp will go numb. The whole process is very uncomfortable, but I have never thought of using anything to make up for a chapter. Someone in the book review and comment section said that you should at least write three chapters a day. Well, well, it turns out that three chapters a day has become at least … But I really have nothing to say.
Now that the results are good, I will try to make myself as fast as possible, but I will not use the quality of the articles as a bargaining chip. This is because I know very well that this kind of attitude is the only way to get this kind of results. If I do not have this kind of attitude, no one will read this book.
A few days ago, I signed a simplified Chinese publishing contract. I must have 100,000 words per month, or I will be breaching the contract and will be fined. So, the foundation should still be able to be guaranteed. I hope to improve on this foundation as much as possible.
All these years, Banana has been thinking, writing, and doing about articles and literature in this way. The highs and lows have not changed. I think I can at least say to people: Banana has worked very hard.
If you want to make a detailed definition of online literature. Sometimes you can think of it as a game console. After you go home, you enter another exciting life, rest, relax, and continue working hard the next day. You can also think of it as a cup of tea, a piece of music, or simply a book. You relax on the balcony, listen to the music, and take a short nap. I think my books are mostly the latter, but many times, they also become game consoles …
Uh, it is better not to be so emotional in the acceptance speech. It will affect the results. It should be more practical.
Next, the main plot will unfold. It should be good. So far, the plot is smooth, and there is enough foreshadowing. Banana is in a good mood, and the update can guarantee that the Banana Demon King will be your best friend on your journey.
In the last years of the Wu dynasty, the world was in chaos. The Jin and Liao were fighting, and the situation was turbulent. A hundred years of humiliation finally came to an end. Emperor Tianzuo, Wanyan Aguda, Wu Qimai, Genghis Khan, Temujin, Jamuka, Tchilawun, Muhuali, Borchu, Boerchu, Qin Hui, Yue Fei, Li Gang, Zhong Shidao, Tang Ke, Wu Min, Geng Nanzhong, Zhang Bangchang. The battle between the loyal and the treacherous, the game between the heroes and the ruthless. The invasion of the barbarians, the millions of cavalrymen knocking on the gates of Yanmen, the fall of the country, the misery of the people, the humiliation and resistance of a country and its people, the tears, shouts, and sorrow of the pioneers … And just before this, in the city of Jiangning, the undercurrents were surging. An inconspicuous son-in-law of a merchant family was living a leisurely life without any sense of responsibility. All he wanted to do was eat and watch performances …
Ahem, I want to change this paragraph into an introduction. Life, picking up girls, and the sense of reality are all clues, but the other half is that I want to use an empty background. To a certain extent, I want to recreate the hundred years of humiliation and resistance in modern history. To me, this is the real story. I don't care about the historical facts, I only care about the feeling.
Of course, this is mainly a YY article.
That's all for now.
The son-in-law will be published tonight. Please support the original and support Banana.
