Sun Dunquan slept until ten o'clock before getting up. After eating the leftovers left by his wife, he began his day's work - continuing to type his story of the Republic of China education world on the keyboard. Due to his laziness, he did not have much manuscript on hand, and his habit was to send two sections a day, with a word count of about 5,000 words. In this way, his daily workload is basically determined, and if he doesn't want to break the shift, he must type out the 5,000 words. Fortunately, he was an idler, and there was no other reason to interrupt his work except that he was lazy himself.

It seems to be the sequelae of alcohol, and Sun Dunquan's thoughts today are rusty. In an hour, less than 200 words were typed out, not even a page was turned, and I was so dissatisfied that I simply deleted it.

He lit a cigarette and silently gathered his thoughts.

Although online novels are not in the stream, they have their own rules. That is, the plot must be able to unfold, as the Bible says, you enter through the narrow gate, not through the wide gate. A good story should be like this, the beginning is not large, starting with a small story, but the more it spreads, it is like getting through a narrow door, passing through a thorny and bumpy path, and finally entering a large garden with splendid scenery. If it is reversed, it is doomed.

The online article he is writing now with the background of the education circle of the Republic of China is exactly this taboo. The story he set out hit a dead end after 300,000 words — there was no story to tell.

"What should I do?" He realized the problem, but he didn't come up with a good solution. If it is not put on the shelf, he can endure the pain of the eunuch. But the article has already been put on the shelves, and if you give up, you're a little sorry for the book friends who spent money to subscribe.

"Grandma's, I'm sorry for the unpopular books I bought." Sun Dunquan muttered.

For this book, he still did some homework, and made two trips to Bei'an, in order to buy books and maps describing the customs and customs of Lao Yanjing, especially notebook works. In total, he spent nearly 2,000 yuan before and after, not to mention his gas money. Some of the old books and newspapers were bought from the antique market of the Palace of Culture, and the prices were much more expensive than buying new books. His wife Yin Yutao laughed at him, but he couldn't even get the capital back.

The results were frustrating for him. Sun Dunquan's knowledge is very broad, the principle of opportunity cost is understood, you can't be satisfied with the existing results, if you don't do this, you will definitely do that. is to work as a security guard (two of my neighbors work as security guards in a bank), and his monthly income exceeds his current income from writing books.

With a monthly income of less than $2,000, he was embarrassed. There is more and more feeling that he can't raise his head in front of his wife, although Yin Yutao has never scolded him harshly, at most he just makes a few good-natured jokes.

A long time ago, Sun Dunquan realized the flaws in the depths of his character. Otherwise, he would not have "fallen" to the current situation of selling words for a living. His weakness lies in his lack of working with people, especially those in power. Writing a book, on the other hand, is a great way to "play to your strengths and avoid your weaknesses", you don't have to look at anyone's eyes (except the reader), you can stay at home and immerse yourself in your own fictional world.

But writing a book is not an easy task. You must have knowledge and experience, otherwise you will not be able to write a moving story. The plot may be fictional, but the details must be real. If you haven't lived in the U.S. for a long time, it's hard to tell the story of American habits. If you haven't been a county magistrate, you won't understand what problems the county magistrate faces every day. The creative attitude of the older generation of writers is extremely rigorous, and Liu Qing even went to Shaanxi to work as a farmer for several years in order to write "History of Entrepreneurship". Of course, today's writers don't have that energy, and online writers don't have that condition. Sun Dunquan is not a novice, he has deeply felt the significance of details to his works, so he spared no expense to purchase those ancient books, in order to get a little bit of life during the Republic of China.

He has long noticed that urban works with a contemporary background are relatively popular, and there are generally two lines in this kind of works: the first is the path to success in the protagonist's career, and its common feature is the acquisition of wealth or power; The second is the protagonist's emotional path, such as the possession of cloud beauties or the harvest of poignant love.

No one likes to describe civilian life, and if you take yourself as a prototype, you will be excited to buy a Hyundai Tucson and have been sleepless for several nights.

But he couldn't write the kind of story that proved to be successful. I once tried, but I was shot by myself after more than 10,000 words.

It wasn't until he accompanied Tao Tang to the Cidonghu Club that an idea suddenly became clear: in fact, he could write an urban work, because he had the materials.

The indispensable magnate - Zhou Hongyou is, of course, a magnate. He is the deputy mayor of Pingquan City with real power, a real deputy department level, and he is in the same class of his middle school. However, it is unlikely that he will go deep into Zhou Hongyou's life, thinking of Zhou Hongyou's rejecting face thousands of miles away, Sun Dunquan concluded that he can only observe the other party from a distance, and there will not be many such opportunities.

Gu Meijun is also counted. The general manager of the provincial bank company department sounds quite majestic. But this woman is even further away from herself, and it is difficult to understand her life. The reason why she came to Pingquan that day and appeared in the East Lake Club should be for Tao Tang. The reason for this should be the basic household problem of the red star.

Tao Tang can barely be regarded as a powerful person - in the past, the level of Red Star was an authentic local master, but now state-owned enterprises do not talk about rank, but more than 20,000 employees of state-owned enterprises, thousands of large collective workers, and tens of thousands of family members The de facto emperor is still quite powerful! Tao Tang was also one of his few friends. How Tao Tang lives and what problems he encounters every day can be understood clearly.

Tang Yikun is a rich man, there is no doubt about it. Sun Dunquan believes that in terms of the amount of wealth, there are not many private entrepreneurs in the province such as Tang Yikun. In terms of age, Sun Dunquan stands out even more. Moreover, he is a self-made entrepreneur. Tang Yikun's parents are both ordinary employees of Red Star, and his family has neither officials nor rich people. In the language of forty years ago, the Tang family was an authentic working class. Now it has become the envy of the family of the Red Star Factory, and the Tang family has long since left the Red Star and entered the board of directors or senior management of the East Lake Company.

With a few living models around him, isn't it enough for him to conceive a book? If you can't write it, it's all a matter of your own pen.

Because he likes the Dream of Red Mansions, Sun Dunquan has studied the history of Cao Xueqin's family. Obviously, Cao Xueqin conceived his story based on the Cao family. He disagrees with the argument that Jia Baoyu is based on Nalan Rongruo. Cao Xueqin's ancestor was only a Jiangning weaver, but in his novel, he became the founding prince. Cao Xueqin's aunt is the princess of Pingjun, but she has evolved into an imperial princess in the novel...... It can be seen that fiction and exaggeration are the main characteristics of literature. There are characters like Zhou Hongyou, Tang Yikun, and Tao Tang around him, and he still says that he is a little stupid if he has no materials.

Beauty is an indispensable material in web novels...... Lu Qi is a beauty, and an outdated beauty is also a beauty. It is a bit abrupt to classify Lu Qi as an outdated beauty, and the old man of time seems to be particularly fond of Lu Qi, making her look at least ten years younger than her actual age. Yin Yutao knew Lu Qi and was extremely envious of Lu Qi's ability to stay in the face. once jokingly said to him, your vision was not good at the beginning, you look at Lu Qi, she is still so beautiful, and her figure is still so good...... Moreover, they are still department-level leaders, and their annual salary is at least 100,000 yuan, right? He said that it was not a matter of vision, but that he was self-aware, and he was not worthy of Lu Qi. Beauty is a scarce resource that only men with money and power can have. A waste like me, being able to marry you is already an ancestor's virtue.

Sun Dunquan knew that Tao Tang had a crush on Lu Qi. But it wasn't until that day at the East Lake Club that I found out that Lu Qi was even more infatuated with Tao Tang! In Hall K on the third floor, he saw the scene of the two snuggling together and concubinage, except for Han Ruilin, who had no prospects, Gu Meijun and Tang Yikun must also be in his eyes.

Tao Tang is now a widower, but Lu Qi is a married woman. Will there be a plot between them that is overwritten in a novel? Can this be turned into another main line?

Sun Dunquan became excited. That's the excitement that is peculiar to conceiving a work. So, Sun Dunquan left behind his old manuscript and began to write the outline of his new book. By the time Yin Yutao got off work, he had completed the outline.

During the meal, Sun Dunquan told Yin Yutao his new story.

"I think you can write Tao Tang, but Tang Yikun forget it."

"Why? I think Tang Yikun's entrepreneurial history must be a moving history. There must be the most moving elements of all urban online texts. I can find out what I want to know through Tao Tang. I can see that Tang Yikun is eyeing Red Star, and he has a request for Tao Tang. ”

He told his wife the story of that day in the clubhouse, but omitted the collision between Lu Qi and Tao Tang. Both for Tao Tang to be his friend, but also to avoid his wife's nagging.

"That kind of person is certainly not a good person. Good people don't amass such a huge fortune in twenty years. Is your protagonist going to be written as a badass? The story of Red Star is enough for you to write, I haven't read a web novel about state-owned enterprises. ”

Because of her husband, Yin Yutao also often reads online novels, and recommends some articles to her husband that she thinks are wonderful and readable.

"You have a point. But there are too many rules in state-owned enterprises, even the number one is not comfortable, where can the boss of a private enterprise do whatever he wants? This restricts the development of the plot......"

"I'm just giving an opinion, I hope you can be popular again." Yin Yutao said with a smile.

Nap is Sun Dunquanlei's habit of not moving, after waking up his wife has gone to work, card friend Bao Xianbing called him to play cards, he took 200 yuan to Bao Xianbing's house, where is a point for them.

"Old Bao, you didn't lose money last night." Sun Dunquan said to Bao Xianbing.

"What's the loss? Isn't it just a meal? Hurry up, I'll be waiting for you. "Three are missing one, and three players are in a hurry. If we talk about the urgency of others, we should take this as the most.

"At least you can have a big meal, and there are five grains to drink."

"I'm not in someone's circle, we're just a worker, and I don't have anything to say when I go. Oh, you came back with the cigarettes, right? Bao Xianbing took the Yellow Crane Tower handed over by Sun Dunquan at 1916, "It's so short, it's not affordable." Taking a puff, Bao Xianbing looked at the cigarette roll.

"Tang Yikun treats guests, don't take it for nothing."

"How expensive is this cigarette?"

"I don't know, it's not cheap." Sun Dunquan really didn't know the price.

Another player knows, "100 dollars." You say that a pack of cigarettes is more expensive than our salary in a day, and people can't compare. ”

"Tao Tang also asked about you, and he remembered you." Sun Dunquan said to Bao Xianbing.

"That's a kind word. I remember him, but he doesn't necessarily remember me. You were good students back then, and I didn't say a word to him in total. ”

"Lao Bao," the player who knew the price of cigarettes was called Zheng Quan, "You kid should grasp this relationship, after all, he is a classmate, and he is different from others." ”

"People are his general manager, and I am my welder, do you have a fart relationship? Schoolmate? There are many classmates, if he takes care of his classmates, can he take care of them? Moreover, I have nothing to ask him for, I just hope that he will show mercy and be grateful for the wages owed to me as soon as possible. If he can give me a long salary, I am willing to call him daddy. ”

"Whiteboard, touch." Zheng Quan answered, "This is the truth. But you classmates are not bad, you went to our unit yesterday morning and were surrounded by ......"

"What do you mean?"

"I want a salary. He's the number one, who do you want if you don't follow him? But Tao always has a level, and what he said is very pleasing to everyone. ”

"Promised to reissue?"

"Why don't you say that people have a level? After talking for a long time, everyone was very satisfied, and they didn't promise to make up the money. "Zheng Quan and today's first card, is self-draw," Lao Tzu doesn't care what a thousand knives can't and the first hand, pay the money, seven small pairs. ”

"Good luck," Sun Dunquan took out his wallet, calculating how much to pay, and at this moment, the mobile phone rang, and it was Lu Qi calling.

"I'm playing cards at Lao Bao's house. What the? No way? This unlucky bastard, I know, I know. Sun Dunquan put away the phone, "I'm really sorry, I have to go, Lao Bao, you come with me." Lao Zheng, you two wait a minute, and come back immediately. ”

"It's really lazy donkey grinding ......" Zheng Quan couldn't help but curse a Pingquan dialect, which means to find an excuse to dodge at a critical moment.
