After breakfast, Dou Yan said she wanted to know what the daily work of the next famous writer would be like.

So Chang Zheng showed her his normal work mode.

"The first step is to turn on the computer." , Chang Zheng pressed the boot button of the laptop.

"The second step is to use the short period of time when the computer is turned on to make a cup of coffee." , Chang Zheng tore open a bag of instant coffee and poured the coffee powder into the coffee cup, "Dou Yan, do you need a cup of coffee?" ”

Dou Yan: "I usually buy my own coffee beans to make coffee at home, or go to a café to drink. Your conditions are limited, forget it, I'll just take it. Let's get a bag for my sister too, I want that, yes, latte-flavored ones. ”

"You're a petty bourgeoisie." , Chang Zheng brewed two cups of instant coffee and handed Dou Yan a cup, "Long-term writing, day and night coding words, is actually a repetitive and boring job, so I need some external stimulation to get myself into the state quickly." Many writers, including singers, actors, and hosts, have some quirks. Some writers must listen to hot rock music before writing, some singers have to play a game of tennis before recording songs, and some hosts have to dance a street dance before going on stage.

It is said that there is a famous actor who is more interesting, he must play a few PSP games before going on camera, otherwise he will not be able to enter the play. Once when filming, his PSP forgot to bring it, and he didn't play the game, so he refused to act. The crew had no choice, so they immediately went to buy him a new PSP, downloaded the games he liked to play, and let him cool off a few times, so he went to act. These are all real cases, and you can search for them online.

It's not that they play big names, but they know how to self-regulate, and doing something unrelated to their profession before work is a way of self-regulation. Before I started coding, in addition to drinking a cup of coffee and smoking a cigarette, I would also self-regulate, such as singing a song solo. I won't sing it today, and let's go straight to the official work link. ”

"Sing, you just don't exist for me. You can't change the pace of your work because of me. ", Dou Yan became interested and said expectantly.

Chang Zheng shook his head: "I feel unwell today, so I won't sing." ”

Dou Yan: "What's wrong?" Do you have a few days a month? Auntie is here? Don't talk nonsense, you were still alive yesterday, facing hundreds of people in the sky and on the ground, and you didn't have stage fright at all. Now in the face of me as a weak woman, are you still cowardly? Sing it, be cooler. ”

Chang Zheng: "Don't be excited, beware of me being mad." ”

Dou Yan smiled: "Oh? Fa bai, I'll continue. ”

Chang Zheng: "Then I really sing?" ”

Dou Yan: "Speed." ”

"Ahem." , Chang Zheng cleared his throat and sang: "Unity is strength, unity is strength!" Power is iron, strength is steel! Harder than iron, stronger than steel! Thank you. ”

"Hahaha!" , Dou Yan couldn't close her mouth with a smile, she applauded: "Singing is very good, very imposing." Sure enough, it's the son of a soldier. ”

"Okay, you're the first person to hear me sing in front of the code, don't spread the word, otherwise I'll have to silence it. Now I'm going to get into the official workflow. Chang Zheng put the notebook on the coffee table in the living room, and Dou Yan sat beside him.

Chang Zheng operated the mouse: "First check whether the WIFI is connected, well, connected, the signal is full." Before I get into the code, I'll go to the pages of "Evil and Awe-inspiring" and look at the data and reviews. ”

Dou Yan looked at the screen and said, "170,000 words, you update it quickly." Now that there are 500,000 clicks, the name of the rookie king seems to be quite effective. When "Infinite Terror" was more than 200,000 words, there were not even 50,000 hits. You've made it through. Anyway, will you read these book reviews seriously? I haven't seen you reply. ”

Chang Zheng laughed at himself: "I have read every one." Hey, the rookie king is a halo, but sometimes it's also a burden. When I wasn't famous before, people were soft-spoken, and I often replied to posts, but now I have to be cautious. Some words are my sincere words, but they may be deliberately misinterpreted by some people and infinitely amplified. Just like last year's 'Xiaoqiang and Little Lychee' incident, it was very disturbing.

A certain Lord God once said that it is not that we are timid and afraid of causing trouble, but that we have seen too much and seen too much, and we just don't say a lot of things. The paparazzi want the stars to fight a lawsuit with themselves, and it is best to fight it so that the whole world knows about it. I don't dare to compare myself to a star, I'm just making an analogy.

But I am really reading the book reviews of book friends, and I will absorb some opinions and suggestions. After all, we write books for readers, not for my own amusement, no matter what you say Lao Tzu writes. For example, for the role of Yan Di, many readers say that they like her, so I will let Yan Di appear more and give her more scenes. Of course, you have to cater to the readers, and as an author, you must have your own creative principles and themes, and try to cater to the readers without violating the theme principles. How well this scale is grasped is the difference between the big god and the small god, and between the small god and the ordinary writer. ”

Dou Yan sighed: "It's not easy to write a book, it's not as simple as I imagined." If you don't know the code, you will be stupid if you don't know it. I'm typing fast, useless. Typist and writer are two different professions. In the business of writing, the water is very deep. ”

Chang Zheng: "If you have a certain ability to make up stories, the faster your hand speed is, of course, the better. However, the reverse is not true, and people who type fast may not make up stories. By the way, are you still writing books? ”

Dou Yan was deflated: "If I don't write, the more I write, the more painful it becomes, and I can't hold back hundreds of words for a whole day." I've been off for a month. It seems that I am not this material, not everyone can be a writer. I thought that I had read novels for ten years, and I couldn't compose poems and could chant them, but in practice, two different things. I have a lot of stories in my head, but I can't write them. In other words, it is impossible to put the ideas in your head into words and write a smooth story. The so-called "there is in the heart, there is nothing in the pen", probably this is the meaning. ”

Chang Zheng: "Hey, don't be discouraged, you're a champion." A good writer must start with an excellent reader. It's normal to read a lot of books but not be able to write, but you can't write without reading. By the way, how is your business going? You don't have to go back to preside over the big picture? ”

"Just after the New Year, it's the off-season, and there is no business. Someone in the house is watching. Dou Yan's face sank: "What?" Want to drive me away? ”

Chang Zheng waved his left hand and operated the mouse with his right hand: "No, it doesn't mean that, I just care about your career." Okay, let's move on to the next part. Close the page, create a new document, rename it, and I'll see, oh, it's chapter 112. I've uploaded to chapter 59 now, but saved to chapter 111, so I'm going to continue writing chapter 112. Normally, I write twelve to sixteen hours a day, about 20,000 to 23,400 words, and six to eight chapters.

Of course,It also depends on the state.,Write more when you're high.,I don't feel anything when I'm low.,Maybe you can only code one or two chapters a day.。 In my lowest days, I could only code a few hundred words a day. But no matter how many yards there are, I will stick to the code word every day. It is difficult to be diligent, it is easy to be lazy, and it is human nature to be indulgent and dislike. For a professional writer, he must try his best to overcome this inertia, otherwise if he is lazy for a day, he will have a second day, a third day, a week, a month, and then he will be a eunuch. ”

Dou Yan looked at Chang Zheng, admiring and appreciating it, but also seemed to feel a little distressed, "God! Write for more than a dozen hours a day! No wonder you wrote two million words of "Infinite Terror" in four months. You have to pay attention to your body and don't work too hard. Books can be written for a lifetime, right, let's write slowly, don't rush. ”

Chang Zheng sighed lightly: "No choice." Some bigwigs have their own studios and special operation teams, but I have to rely on myself. For now, it's up to me. So, I can't write slowly, I can only write quickly. ”
