"Hello, Huang Yifan, welcome to the North American Writers Guild. ”

Huang Yifan has a lot of things to do in addition to class, such as writing.

On this day, Huang Yifan was invited to the North American Writers Association.

"Thank you. ”

"You're welcome, Huang Yifan, do you know that many people are very interested in several of your works. ”

The interviewer with Huang Yifan was none other than Anne.

Yes.

In addition to being a lecturer at the University of California, Anne is a trustee of the Writers Guild of North America.

"For example, you have published several critical realist works in the Awakening newspaper before, and the chameleon in them is very classic. Of course, there are also people in the suit, and the minister is also very good. It's a pity that you stopped writing these short stories and started writing long novels. However, it is precisely because of your novels that people all over North America know you. Moreover, you also became a 6-star writer in North America with two novels. ”

Life Pi and Inception have a sales share of about 2.5 million copies each, adding up to a total of 5 million copies.

Therefore, Huang Yifan's pen name HYF is 6 stars in the North American writer rating.

"Some people think that your two novels are suspenseful, what do you think?"

At present, the North American writers' circle is very interested in Life Pi and Inception, and the reason for the interest is not only because of the sales of the two works, but also because of the writing techniques of the two works.

They believe that the writing techniques of the two works are very similar.

Youth Pi spent hundreds of thousands of words on the surface to write the plot of the tiger, but the real story only used a few hundred words.

And Inception takes this writing technique to the extreme, and even the whole work does not reveal what the real story is.

However, the two works have magical powers, and as long as someone watches them, they are completely fascinated.

"Yes, there are some. ”

Huang Yifan nodded.

Both Life Pi and Inception have some suspenseful writing techniques.

This also allows the reader to read it, and you absolutely do not know the truth until the last moment. And even in the finale, if you don't read carefully, maybe what you understand is completely different from what others understand. However, the amazing thing is that this is where the author's greatness lies. Even if you don't read these two works carefully, both works can give you a satisfactory plot.

It's like Life Pi.

If you don't take it seriously, you'll just think it's a story with a tiger, and you'll feel like it's a good story.

If you look carefully, you will find that there are no tigers in this story, and you will also think that this story is very good.

Another example is Inception.

Regardless of the reader, you can think of the protagonist as returning to reality.

In the same way, you can also think that the protagonist is still in a dream.

However, whether the protagonist is back in reality or the protagonist is in a dream, this work can give you a wonderful response.

"So, will you continue to use this writing technique to create more works in the future?"

"No ......"

Huang Yifan shook his head.

"Actually, I write suspense writing techniques a little awkwardly, and I'm not very good at writing this kind of writing techniques. ”

"Ah......h

Anne thought she had misheard.

If he can write two such best-selling works with a not-so-good writing technique, I really don't know that when he uses a good writing technique, then his works must not have a violent rhythm.

"Yes, Miss Anne, in fact, I have always felt very tired from writing these two works, and I think about all kinds of plots every day, which is too brain-burning. I write about headaches, and readers may also have headaches when parsing them. Although people are very happy with this kind of brain-burning work at the moment, I may not write in this way in the future. ”

Huang Yifan didn't pretend, what he said was the truth.

Juvenile Pie is okay, he has to copy it. But Inception, with just one movie, all kinds of settings in the movie have to be completely written into novels, and there can be no loopholes in the novel, that period of time really made Huang Yifan feel a headache every time he started writing. Therefore, after Inception, Huang Yifan made a decision that he would never write this type of work again in the future.

"It makes sense, Pi and Inception do have some brain-burning. In this case, I will ask readers whether the protagonist in Inception has returned to reality. ”

"Well, I've got to ask God. ”

Huang Yifan obviously won't answer.

He didn't know.

Second, even if he knew, he wouldn't say it.

It's like a spoiler, if it's a spoiler, I'm afraid the reader won't be interested.

If you don't say it, the debate in Inception may continue.

If I say this, I'm afraid, no one will discuss Inception in the blink of an eye. After all, although the two novels Inception and Life Pi look good, they are not world classics. They have nothing else to do except suspense and all kinds of unsolved mysteries. Life Pie is an example, when everyone more and more deciphers the truth about Life School, the sales of Life School in the later period are getting lower and lower. On the contrary, Inception has never been public, and its sales potential is above that of Juvenile Pi.

"Okay, let's talk about your latest work, is this Harry Potter your latest?"

Holding the novel in her hand, Anne asked.

"Yes, this is my latest work. ”

Huang Yifan nodded, "Of course, it can't be regarded as the latest work." Actually, this was my first work, but when I sent it to the publisher, the publisher rejected it. ”

"Oh my God, why refuse?"

"They said the writing was terrible and asked me if I was in elementary school. ”

Huang Yifan smirked.

"Poof. ”

Anne almost squirted rice, and opened the novel and read it roughly.

"Mr. and Mrs. Dursley, who live at 4 Privet Road, always proudly say that they are unruly people. Please, please. They have never been involved in strange things, because they don't believe in those evil ways at all......"

Looking at the beginning, Anne said embarrassedly, "The writing is really average. ”

"I think it's average, but I've never felt that fiction has anything to do with writing. Since the publisher was not optimistic about this work, I used the money I had recently earned from writing the book to publish the novel at my own expense. ”

"Ah, at your own expense?"

Anne looked a little surprised.

For writers, self-publishing is simply a shame. She couldn't believe that Huang Yifan would publish it at his own expense.

"Miss Anne, can I ask Mr. Huang Yifan a question?"

Obviously, for the self-funded publication mentioned by Huang Yifan, even other writers who participate in the writers' association can't sit still.

"Absolutely. ”

"Mr. Huang Yifan, since you published this work at your own expense, it is obvious that you are very confident in this work?"

The writer who asked Huang Yifan questions was called "Cisse", and he was also the author who was very dissatisfied with Huang Yifan before.

He was very dissatisfied with Huang Yifan just now, this guy, an ordinary interview, the more he meowed, the more he pretended to be forced.

Are these writers your fans?

Sorry, we're not.

So, please stop pretending.

Therefore, at the first time, Cisse stood up and asked Huang Yifan a question.

"I'm very confident in this work, and at the same time, I want to use this novel to prove that the publishers' vision is wrong. ”

"Mr. Huang Yifan, I have to say that your storytelling ability is very good. If this novel can become a hit, it must be a very inspirational story. But, I'm curious to know, how many copies do you think you'll sell for this work?"

"I don't know how many, but I believe that maybe this novel will raise my writer rank by one star. ”

"6 stars to one star is 7 stars, 10 million copies, Huang Yifan, are you sure?"

"Sure. ”

Huang Yifan nodded and replied in the affirmative. (To be continued.) )
