(First of all, I wrote it for fun, and I didn't plan to send it out.) Now it's posted here.,Just to make up some word counts for the new book.,Hehe~.

The views expressed below are those of the individual only. ）

There is such a question that has been asked to me by many, many readers.

"Dance, which of these books you wrote yourself is your favorite?"

Every time I see this question, I think of a very pretentious answer: the next one.

That's how Pele, the king of football answered back then, and others asked him which one was the most brilliant when he scored so many goals. He replied: Next.

I've always found Bailey's answer to be hypocritical, and I've always disliked Pele. He's too tactful.

I like Maradona, he's the real king of the ball in my heart, because he's so emotional.

So, when I was confronted with this question, I didn't use that pretending to be a hypocritical answer.

I thought about it for a moment, and the answer should be this: my favorite is "Hippie Smiley", then "Evil and Awe-inspiring", and finally "The City in China".

And then when I ask people, many of them can't help but ask: Huh? You don't like demonic laws, do you? The Law of Demons is the most popular one you have now, with high hits on the Internet, and there are traditional and simplified books and adaptations of online games......

At this time, I will probably hypocritically say: I like it too. Hehe-look, I've had my hypocrisy sometimes. (In fact, in the hearts of many authors, their favorite works are often not the most famous.) ）

In fact, the real reason is that I like "urban novels" the most, so the three books I listed are also modern urban themes that I have written.

The Hippie Smiley Face is an early book of pure urban emotion, and it is the highest in terms of the level of writing I have ever written. The most attentive is also the same. And not yy.

And the city in China was my first popular book at the starting point. The significance of this book is that I started from this book, and I shifted from pure urban to urban YY.

And "Evil Awe", I don't need to say more, it has brought me a huge harvest. I made an attempt to write an urban novel, using a hard-lined, realistic style to compile an urban YY novel.

So I wrote a Chen Yang, a brave, hot-blooded, and righteous man. And in order to pursue a realistic style, I checked a lot of information about the underworld - it's not that you can cut people with a watermelon knife, it's called the underworld! That's just a little gangster. I wrote about the big circle, about Qinghong, and about the Chinese community in North America.

When I wrote that Xiao Wu was chased and ran away, I really found a few brothers who had been mixed on the road to ask: In the end, the people on the road ran away, how did they run?

As a result, Xiao Wu was chased and killed all the way from Nanjing and went south to Guangzhou. lived in a dilapidated small guest house, desperately changed cars, arranged suspicious formations, and confused the pursuers. At that time, a friend of mine also told me: Actually, in the case of running away, it is easier to be chased by the strips. The most dangerous thing is to be chased by the road. One is because the strip catches up with you and catches at most. If you are caught up on the road, it is a dead end. Moreover, when you are hunted down by the Dao Shang, they often mobilize forces that are even denser than the jǐng side.

As a result, a reader asked me if I had really mixed up with the Tao -- hehe.

When I wrote that Xiao Wu hid in the pyramid scheme den, I also did a lot of material preparation and finally wrote out the situation of the pyramid scheme den -- as a result, some readers said in the book review area that the writing was too true, and asked me if I had really experienced pyramid schemes.

Including writing that Xiao Wu later took a boat to smuggle to North America, I also checked a lot of information, what was the situation on the ship at sea, etc., and tried to be true.

And the part where Xiao Wu went to Vietnam...... Hehe, many people don't know that I really went to Vietnam. It's just a tour. I wrote about Xiao Wu who took a luxury cruise ship from Guangxi to Vietnam, and that ship started to open casinos on the high seas, these are all true! I've been on that boat, and I've lost money in casinos on the high seas at night.

Including writing about Xiao Wu's landing in Ha Long Bay, staying overnight in Hai Phong City, where only Tiger beer was sold in the hotel, and all kinds of amazing places in Vietnam's security, I personally experienced it at the beginning.

There is also the Hanoi Hotel, the nightclub where the mixed-race beauty works, called Ocean Star Nightclub, I have also been there! I was staying at the Hanoi Grand Hotel at the time.

Even, it was written that Xiao Wu was chased and killed by the Vietnamese in Hanoi, jumped into the river and swam and ran away, and that river really exists!

When I wrote that Xiao Wu went to Canada, when I was in Vancouver, I specifically looked for a map of Vancouver's urban area, and some various information about Vancouver. Some readers even asked me if I had ever been in Vancouver, because as I wrote in my book, Hastinging Street, where the garage in Dahuan is located, is indeed Vancouver's famous black street: it is a place where jì women and drug dealers haunt.

-- As a result, the book became popular.

But in fact, urban novels are difficult to write.

Purely in terms of the difficulty of writing, Western fantasy and fantasy novels are the easiest to write.

Why? Because there are no limits! You can make up a world completely out of thin air, whatever you want to set the continent, the sea and the sky, and write whatever you want!! For this kind of book, the author is God! You can move mountains and seas and create whatever you want.

However, it is not possible to write urban novels!!

Because reality is all around us. What you write is outrageous, people can see it at a glance.

For example, the classic passage in some of the novels I wrote earlier: worth hundreds of millions, invite your classmates to McDonald's, and think this is a very high-end move......

There are also some "classic" scenes: for example, the protagonist dresses very simply, takes his girlfriend to a jewelry store to buy jewelry, and the waiter looks down on people and says: Can you afford to sell a guy like you! And then the protagonist took out a very awesome card very boldly, and after pretending to be forced, he was powerful...... Classic!

Every time I see such a scene, I think it's funny.

Most of the authors who write like this have never been to a jewelry store to buy something. Now, in these days, which store's salesperson dares to treat customers like this? I don't want this job anymore! How hard is it to find a job now...... Who dares to carelessly hold their own rice bowl? Many readers are in the service industry and should have a deep understanding, who dares to roll their eyes at customers inexplicably? Hehe.

I remember reading the two most impressive funny episodes: first, in a certain book, the protagonist met a jǐng cha from the United States, and the other party introduced himself as "the deputy captain of the Chicago City Criminal Jǐng Brigade...... When I saw this title, I laughed so much that tears came out of my eyes.

The second, a certain book, set in Chinese mainland, writes about the protagonist going through a lawsuit, above the courtroom: there is a judge, and there is a jury......

I thought when I watched it at the time, this author probably watched too many Hong Kong dramas. Because there is no such thing in the courts of the mainland.

In the courts of the mainland, there are no "judges", only "presiding judges", and there is no such thing as a jury......

Of course, it doesn't mean that you have experienced it before writing a book, but at least you have to have some foundation in life.

Even if there are some things that the author doesn't know, since it is an urban novel, the main story can be made up casually, but in terms of details, it must be true!

Even if you haven't been to a high-end hotel club, you haven't been to a jewelry store to buy diamonds, and you've never been to court...... But......

At least a little bit of it. Okay, you're too lazy to check, you're too lazy to go out...... But there's a computer!

Baidu God knows everything, is it difficult to click on the Internet?

This is the sincerity of not writing a book! Whether you are really attentive and responsible for your work. Authors who are unwilling to work hard to collect evidence in detail cannot write good novels. So I usually read books, especially novels with urban themes, and look at the first five chapters, regardless of whether the passages are attractive or not, if I see more than three common sense xìng messy covers, I am flashy.

It's all in the details!

Don't think it's useless, because if an author can't even work on the details, what if people believe that he will work on the main story and the story? You don't even have to work on the details, I don't believe that this kind of person can write a main story of more than a million words!

Don't think the reader is fooled. In fact, readers' eyes are bright. If you are casual in the details and do not pay attention to them, it will be easy for the reader to see it. Especially for readers who like to read urban themes.

That's right, the so-called urban YY novels are actually weaving a wonderful white dream for readers.

But even if it is a sweet dream, everyone hopes that the dream is as realistic as possible, so that they can get greater pleasure.

Isn't it?

The difficulty of urban fiction is this: everything you write must be within this framework. It must conform to "common sense" and "common sense".

These are the common sense of life.

If you write about another world, you can make it up however you want, but when you write about the city, in many fields, you are not allowed to write scribble, you are not allowed to mess around.

My favorite thing is urban novels, and I always feel that when I write urban novels, I can play better, and I can grasp the psychology of the characters more clearly.

Compared with YY novels of other genres, urban novels are the most wonderful: fantasy, magic, you can make up them all.

But the biggest subtlety of the urban theme is: [half-truth]!

If it is too fake, this "dream" will be too unreal to give readers the pleasure of reading it.

If it's really too much, too realistic, it will be too boring.

Half-truths and half-truths, how to grasp this "degree" depends on the author's personal performance.
