Chapter 160
Zhang Jiujiu rejected the invitation of the Light Angel three times and twice, but the behavior of the Light Angel also made Zhang Jiujiu start to think about his own development path. △¢,
Zhang Jiujiu started his writing career in a fit of anger after resigning. He didn't have any plans for himself, so he followed the trend and wrote, and sometimes even directly "borrowed" from others. Under the "temptation" of Liang Da's editor, he began to write the current YY immortal.
The appearance of the Light Angel made him know that what he wrote had also been read, and he needed to be responsible for his work. You can't be a full-time worker like you are now. He has to have his own style, and he wants to make a brand out of his pen name. Then it is necessary to build a system systematically, rather than thinking about where to write.
Of course, he was a little reluctant to let him completely give up this YY immortal work. After all, good results were achieved. The idea of this theme is also okay. As long as the structure and system are adjusted, it is not impossible to write it into a masterpiece.
The key is how to write it? The history of the immortals is actually a collection of folk tales, composed of small paragraphs. Some are sung in folk tunes, some are read by craftsmen, and some are incorporated into some grotesque novels.
The most systematic novels about immortals are "The Classic of Mountains and Seas", "Fengshen Bang", and "Journey to the West". Others, like "Sou Shen Ji" and "Strange Tales from Liao Zhai", are simply collecting some stories of gods and ghosts, which cannot be called a system, and can only be used as a "wild history", which is regarded as a supplement to the three immortal masterpieces.
And some other scriptures and the like are more expounding some theories, which cannot be called "history".
If you compare carefully, it is easy to find a problem, "The Classic of Mountains and Seas" describes the war between gods and demons in ancient times to fight for the domination of the Central Plains. The time is almost 4,500 years ago.
"Fengshen Bang" records some of the deeds that occurred in the era of the replacement of the Shang and Zhou dynasties. This history can be summed up as the establishment of order. The story takes place about 3,000 years ago.
"Journey to the West" depicts the history of the Tang Dynasty monks who went to the Western world to retrieve the scriptures after going through thousands of difficulties and dangers. This matter can be boiled down to a dispute over Taoism. The time is in the early Tang Dynasty, about 1,500 years ago.
The events described in these three novels are regarded as myths in the orthodox perception, but they all fit into the historical period of the time, and they basically all have archetypes. According to the above time calculations, it is not difficult to find that every fifteen hundred years, the history of the immortals will undergo a huge change.
And for the figure of fifteen hundred years, maybe you haven't thought of anything yet. Then I'll do the math for you.
As we all know, one day in heaven and one year on earth is a conversion ratio of time in heaven and earth for thousands of years by Chinese. There is no need to prove this, we are still stuck in the rules.
The 1,500 years of our long history is 1,500 days in the sky, which is about four years. As mentioned earlier, 1,500 years is an approximate number, and there is not much difference between the previous and the next thirty or fifty years.
Four years, that's a bit of an interesting time. Government officials in many countries, a term of office is four years, and the same is true for professional managers in many enterprises, the year is divided into four seasons, and people's lives are divided into four stages: childhood, youth, middle age, and old age...... Is this just a coincidence?
Today, 1,500 years later, is it possible to continue to write a history of immortals?
Thinking of this, Zhang Jiujiu's heart began to get excited, what a good subject matter, if you write it seriously, you may not be able to continue the glory of "Fengshen Bang" and "Journey to the West".
That's right, just write the fourth part of "The History of the Immortals" "The Immortal Experience". The first "Classic of Mountains and Seas" is written about grabbing territory, the second "Fengshen List" is written about grabbing positions, and the third "Journey to the West" can be said to be grabbing faith.
So what do I write? Zhang Jiujiu thought so. You can't write about robbing the goddess, right? Zhang Jiujiu is happy for a long time, isn't the paragraph in the front of his novel just written to rob the goddess.
The fourth part of "The History of the Immortals", "The Immortal Experience", is not bad to write about robbing the goddess, which just caters to the taste of the public. Aren't there any school flowers rising now.,The female president.,Spoiled wife or something.。 If you write that the gods fight for the goddesses, wouldn't you be able to make half the sky red?
But most of the goddesses have masters, and many of them are ascending with other male gods, just because I want to write a classic and separate them, isn't that okay? How does Zhang Jiujiu feel that this is similar to beating mandarin ducks?
Tangled, it seems that the great god is not so easy to be, and this brain cell has to waste a lot more than others. It looks like I need to eat more pig brains to make up for it.
Become a great god, produce classics, and achieve the pinnacle of literature! Step up your game! I'll do it! Readers, get ready for the flowers and tickets in your hands, your great god Zhang Jiujiu, uh, no, it's Dugu Qiushuanger, and you're going to exert your strength!
But what should I write about my main line? Zhang Jiujiu's good dream didn't last long before he returned to this problem.
By the way, it seems that I have the final say on how to write it, haha, many people imagine that they are the protagonists in their works, and then they boast that the protagonist is omnipotent and perfect. Why can't I just write myself in?
Think about it, think about it, it's going to have to be well planned. If I could become an immortal, what would I want? Money, beauty, power, yes, respect and faith. Well, let's start with these. Zhang Jiujiu thought about it again and again, nodded, and agreed with his opinion.
If you want to meet all these aspects, you must first have strength! No matter what world you are in, strength comes first. But I'm just an ordinary person, I haven't cultivated, and I don't have a plug-in, how can I get enough amazing strength?
Write yourself dead and be born again? It's so cruel, how do you get it? Be kind to yourself, it's better to dream about it and make it happen.
The other is to establish an image of what kind of self to be. Looks like Pan An? Uh-huh, it's not good, let's be angry with Pan An. The height is 1.8 meters, this is the height I have been pursuing, simply, one step in place, 1.88 meters, so decided. Wu can set the country and peace in the world, and Wen can deceive the upper and lower to deceive the girl. Zhang Jiujiu began to sketch his image in detail.
Tall and mighty, handsome and chic, graceful, witty and humorous, calm and steady, hugging left and right, ah, I said it wrong, it is the source of the left and right...... He had gone through almost all the good words to describe a man, until the sound of a phone rang that interrupted his sweet dream.
Zhang Jiujiu was still fantasizing about his state after becoming a god, but a phone call pulled him back to reality. Zhang Jiujiu took the phone extremely reluctantly, and looked at the caller ID on it, Zhang Jiujiu's expression was immediately embarrassed.
"Hello, auntie." Zhang Jiujiu said with a smile.
"I'm not good, Xiao Zhang'er, you see that since you lost your job, Auntie hasn't urged you to pay for rent, right? But you also have to be conscious, how many days have passed? I checked my bank account twice a day, but there was no movement. You're not going to be able to make this a charity hall, are you? You see that your education is quite high, how about I let my husband find a job with you? It's not too good for such a big person to always want to gnaw at the old. The landlady said it in one breath, and she didn't even have a chance to interject Zhang Jiujiu.
"Auntie, it's not like I don't have a job, isn't it writing novels every day? You can rest assured that my manuscript fee will be sent in these two days. As soon as the manuscript fee arrives, I will hand it over to you immediately. You're in a grace period of three days, no, two days, two days. Zhang Jiujiu said pitifully.
"If you're young, can you find something serious to do? Writing a novel? Does anyone still watch it now? Don't look at how old my aunt is, I still know what young people are doing now. They are all playing games, how can anyone have the leisure to read novels quietly? Besides, even if you want to see it, you will also watch pirated copies, who wants to spend that unjust money to see your genuine version? You are just contributing to the cause of piracy in China. I think you're just lazy and don't want to work, right? The landlady said unceremoniously.
Zhang Jiujiu has lived here for almost three years and is very familiar with the landlady. The landlady still takes care of Zhang Jiujiu very much, and during the New Year's holidays, she sends Zhang Jiujiu some delicious food, such as the dumplings of the Dragon Boat Festival, the moon cakes of the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the Lantern Festival of the 15th Festival.
The landlady is actually not very old, in her early fifties, and has handled the early retirement and takes care of the daily life of her grandchildren at home. Her husband is the vice president of a company and has a wide range of connections, and the landlady said that it would be easy for her husband to find a job for Zhang Jiujiu.
However, Zhang Jiujiu has made up his mind to make a name for himself in the writer's world, he is not willing to be a mediocre person, rather than a dull life, it is better to fight vigorously. Although there are more people who write books than read books, Zhang Jiujiu believes that he will be able to break out of the encirclement, seize a piece of the world, and achieve a great reputation.
"Thank you Auntie for your kindness, I'll think about it, I still want to adjust for a while, and I'm not ready to sit in the office again. Auntie, don't worry, my novel has been signed, at least I can get a full attendance award, and I still have money for dinner for the time being. Rent for two days. Thank you. Zhang Jiujiu politely rejected the kindness of the landlady.
