Chapter Forty-Seven: That Magical Little Book
After the relationship between the two is fixed at this stage, the way of getting along with each other is really much more natural. There is no need to deliberately take precautions, and there is no need to think too much about how to close the distance, and you can do whatever you want. The two ran to a lot of places, basically discussing where to go while eating breakfast, and then checked the message on their phones and went out. However, considering Fang Anxin's leg problems, they still didn't take the bus much, but asked the hotel concierge to rent a car and follow them with a driver. I could have asked the publisher I worked with here in Tokyo about the car, but neither of them liked to trouble these guys who didn't know each other well, so it was easier to spend money to solve the problem. In Tokyo, it's much cheaper to charter a car than to take a taxi repeatedly.
The two of them don't have much understanding of themselves, and it doesn't matter how many times Fang Anxin's electric wheelchair is on Facebook, all of them are taken by tourists who are good things. The key is that at a considerable distance, Fang Anxin's parents and brother are concerned about it.
When they sat down to rest in a café, they would never have imagined that Fang Anxin's parents and brother were watching them through high-powered binoculars in the high-rise three or four blocks away.
Fang Jin'an looked at Fang Anxin and Yue Qingyan getting along with each other, extremely comfortable and casual, and almost couldn't believe it.
"When did your sister get so good-tempered?"
"How do I know?" Fang Antong took more than ten days of vacation, and simply used up his annual leave at once. "Isn't it because you confronted her that day that you let her blow up?
"How do you talk to your Lao Tzu?" Chen Qing slapped Fang Antong's arm. "They, really don't live together? they're all in the same hotel, isn't it a shame to open two rooms?"
"Do you have a little confidence in your daughter?" Fang Antong exploded: "She is not stupid, and the relationship between the two of them is not close to that stage." I have quietly understood, Yue Qingyan is just helping to take care of it, and the relationship between the two of them is still a normal friend, at least so far. ”
"Five or six days, it's no problem to be able to take care of An Xin for five or six days...... This Yue Qingyan is also powerful. Fang Jin An was amazed. He often makes Fang Anxin fried his hair unconsciously now, and it is already the hardest hit area, and it is useless for him to buy all kinds of delicious and fun things. Once I was too busy to choose things by myself, so I asked the new secretary to help prepare, and I ended up buying a pair of culottes, but Fang Anxin was so angry that she ignored him for a few days. For him, it can make Fang Anxin not blow up for several days, this Yue Qingyan is simply too powerful.
"They feel good together. I haven't seen An Xin come out to play for so long before, and I'm quite happy. It's a rarity. Chen Qing said: "In the future, I will let An Xin come out to play more." This is also lively and cheerful, otherwise you will stay at home all day and get sick. ”
"Do you know how difficult it is to let her come out to play? Not to mention that the three of us are busier than the other, where can we make up the holidays? You and your father don't work?" Fang Antong said angrily: "It's still a best-selling author like Yue Qingyan, the time is flexible enough, it's not too rich, at least the pressure of expenses and other things is not too much, so I can accompany him out." Could it really be that Anxin took the two at home? Then she didn't bother to come out. ”
"That's all Yue Qingyan said?Is there anyone else to play with An Xin?" Fang Jin'an said with some hesitation: "A boy, even if the time is relatively flexible, but it will be annoying to serve your sister for a long time, right? Moreover, his books are selling well, but he still can't afford to raise An Xin just like this." ”
"You have to be able to afford An Xin, you have to have a good career and good conduct, you have to have time to be free, and you have to have a good personality and be able to take care of people...... Fang Antong complained: "You have a lot of requirements." Moreover, this Yue Qingyan has a girlfriend. Good-looking, excellent academically, and good character. Although Yue Qingyan is really not rich, it may not be useful for you to spend money. Why do you think people are interested in An Xin? You shouldn't think about this at all. Isn't it good for the two of them to be friends?"
"Well, I've heard a story recently. Chen Qing's expression was a little playful: "German orthopedics...... I always think of your attitude, should I book you a ward?"
"Hey, Mom, stop talking nonsense. Fang Antong was about to explode. How can any biological parents ridicule their sons and daughters like this?
"What then?" Chen Qing sighed. "Actually, this Yue Qingyan is really good. Who would have thought that you could take good care of your sister and make such a lot of fun. ”
"He hasn't been writing lately, so he should have finished his last book. Fang Antong also knows a lot about the author's profession, sighed and said, "Anyway, don't worry about it." If An Xin really wants to be with him later, now we just come over to see if anything happens. ”
Fang Antong knows a lot about Yue Qingyan, and the recent public opinion of "Yinying" has something to do with their department, and he has been paying attention to it. Fang Antong figured out how much money Yue Qingyan earned. Of course, authors can rely on investments, collaborations, and so on to increase the value of their assets, but these take time. Now Yue Qingyan is still far from being able to afford Fang Anxin.
Moreover, the question for a best-selling author is how to keep selling for a long time, and write one to make it a hit. If Yue Qingyan can continue to write as successful as "Yinying", then there will be no problem. But there's no guarantee that it will sell. Yue Qingyan's short stories are very well written, but the short stories don't sell much at all. "Soul Breaker" is one vote short in the selection of the best short story, but this vote, the commercial value of this short story is more than ten times worse? If it can win last year's award for the best short story, film and television companies, etc., and then pay attention, then this short story is still sure to sell hundreds of thousands. "Red Rose and White Rose" and "Your Name" are also similar to this situation, there is still hope for changing film and television and animation, and doing something else cannot be supported by the current domestic business form.
However, for Fang Antong, he also knew that he was carefully calculating and calculating these things, and he was already treating Yue Qingyan as an important object of investigation.
However, for now, since Fang Anxin is having a lot of fun, it's better to keep it up.
After running around for a few days and doing a lot of research, Yue Qingyan's small notebook was already full of writing. I also have to add some scenes and character sketches made by Fang Anxin.
Relying on Yue Qingyan's narration, Fang Anxin has a preliminary understanding of this "Ikebukuro West Exit Park" series. Although the scale of this series is not as large as that of "Yinying", it is indeed much more nuanced. The people who are scheduled to write about it, and the typical problems they encounter, are really heart-to-heart. Moreover, the whole story series is mainly based on the stories of young people, which always makes people feel that there have been similar people and similar situations around them. Fang Anxin, who has always been quite indifferent to her peers and various other people, has been brought into an extremely rich world by this story series.
But so many materials are on the same book, which makes Fang Anxin a little worried: "You keep the book, don't throw it around." What if I lose it? Especially if another writer picks it up, won't it be over?"
"It's fine. I can't use it if I pick it up. Yue Qingyan said calmly.
"So sure?" Fang Anxin asked, "What do you think?"
"Where is the author's recognition? Have you thought about it?" Yue Qingyan looked professional.
"What do you mean?" After all, Fang Anxin still gives priority to art work, although she has read a lot, but she is not a professional after all.
"In every profession, the gap between professional and non-professional is here. I wrote, as long as the quality is guaranteed, there are not too many other problems to bother, you will feel comfortable reading it. However, even if it's the same story, if I'm not in a good state and the things I write are awkward, you can complain, and you won't think I'm looking for someone to write it, right?"
Fang Anxin thought about it and nodded.
"I, Ca, and Ersheng have all said that the problem of the author's recognition is that the story is exactly the same, even if it is written according to the outline, but everyone writes it differently. The more powerful the author, the greater the difference in what he writes. ”
Unable to refute, Fang Anxin continued to nod.
"So, I've always said that writing is really a process of constantly controlling the release of information. What is called Xiaobaiwen? That is, in the release of information, we do not do too much processing, and use a more direct way to release information. A lot of information release is actually not routine, it is out of the realm of our daily life experience, it is just information. But at a certain level of writing, the writer is able to control the release of this information, and attach a lot of other things. Emotions are the most basic add-on, and the descriptions of people, scenes, and everything are actually subjective and colorful. And the degree to which this kind of thing resonates is stronger than mere information. ”
Then, there are ideas, feelings, positions, ideologies, and so on...... All sorts of things that are getting more and more advanced. The resonance they arouse is not only at the level of empathy, but also at these levels. What does it mean when you and an author agree on this kind of issue? It means that one or more of your depth of thinking, class sense, concern for society, ideology, economic and political positions coincide. The author is your own person...... You'd think so. ”
In fact, they are all so-called redundant information that has nothing to do with the plot, or it is easier to understand: idle writing. The use of specific words, the way words are picked, the subtle dynamics of the characters, the language, and more. When an author deduces a story, it is true that he wants to make the characters move and collide in the plot through deduction, but this must lead to a certain result. Whether the world is warm or gloomy is in itself the author's choice of position. In the final analysis, an author's recognition comes from the way he defines the world of a story. ”
Fang Anxin was a little clear. "You mean, even if someone else takes your notebook and writes it, they can't write how you feel?"
"Maybe it's better than me?" Yue Qingyan teased.
"There shouldn't be many people in that, right? Besides, they all have their own ideas, so why write your story...... Oh, I see. Fang Anxin immediately understood the logic. Those who are poorly written are also confused to get this book.,Completely unable to grasp the core of this series of works.,And the authors of the level.,The selection of materials itself is the embodiment of their ability.,There's no need for this at all.。
Yue Qingyan's explanation reveals a kind of confidence, but it also shows a possibility: I will let you understand the story, but I can't understand the story world I defined. This is a very difficult satirical method from the author.
It's just that none of them expected that the opportunity to play this trick would come so quickly.
