When the last stroke fell, the feeling in Lao Teng's heart is difficult to describe in words.
It has been two years and one month since the idea was conceived and written in March 2018, to the article was published on May 1, and it was put on the shelves on August 1.
There are so many things that happened during this period, so I won't tell them one by one, in short, Lao Teng has learned a lot from this process, and the harvest is very huge.
Okay, without feeling emotional, let's talk about the situation of this book in detail.
In fact, at this moment, Lao Teng also knew that there must be countless book friends who liked "Spy Shadow" who were scolding and complaining, complaining that Lao Teng did not complete what he promised them and did not continue to write the book.
In fact, Lao Teng is also blaming himself, this book can have today's results, not how well Lao Teng writes it, but the selfless support of the majority of book friends who like "Spy".
But the story will come to an end one day, and the reason why it ends this way is based on the following reasons.
First, and the most important point, the old vine's body really can't support it, the old vine is half a hundred years old, and he is not a full-time author, because of time constraints, anxiety, and a two-year interruption of physical exercise, the consequences still appeared, at the end of last year, my physical condition took a sharp turn for the worse, which was introduced in the previous single chapter, so I won't say more, which led to a problem with my update, the original amount of updates in a month, it took three months to write, it was too painful, so I had to stopand get some rest.
Second, it is the problem of copyright, thanks to everyone's love, the results of "Spy Shadow" are very good, last year's monthly pass ranked third in the overall list, and then the copyright was quickly sold smoothly, but according to the contract, "Spy Shadow" is required to end at the end of the year, but because I suddenly had a problem with my body, it was delayed again and again, until now, I have to give an explanation to the copyright owner, and I can't delay it anymore!
Third, that is the problem of the work itself, in the past, Lao Teng found that in some works, especially military history works, there will be a contradiction that is difficult to solve, that is, in the early stage of the protagonist, because he is on the front line of the struggle, he personally deals with the problem, which makes the book friends have a strong sense of substitution, and the eye-catching ability of the work is also very strong.
But in the later stage, as the identity of the protagonist becomes higher and higher, it is difficult to contact the specific affairs of the front line, and the protagonist becomes a dispensable spokesperson, reducing the sense of existence.
For example, a soldier, he is strong in martial arts, charging into battle, defeating strong enemies, this is a great cool point, but in the end he was promoted to a generalissimo, it is impossible to charge again, at most it is an order, and there is no passionate description.
But although Lao Teng also knows this problem, it is difficult to solve it, the protagonist Ning Zhiheng personally presided over the action in the early stage, killing all sides, it is really cool, and the book friends have a strong sense of substitution, but later he was in a high position and became the top intelligence boss in China and Japan, and it was impossible for him to rush to the front line at this time.
This problem has been felt by Lao Teng since the end of Ning Zhiheng's operation to clear the Japanese spies in Chongqing, and in the chapter after returning to Shanghai, although Lao Teng tried to let Ning Zhiheng get in touch with specific affairs as much as possible, he could not completely solve this problem.
In the end, it is difficult for Lao Teng to focus on the protagonist, many of which are chapters that describe some supporting roles, so it is necessary to describe the scenes of the supporting characters vividly, so as not to bore the book friends, which is really difficult, which also makes the writing more difficult.
So I decided that in the next book, I would describe the combat career of a grassroots agent, not too high, to avoid this problem, try to focus on the protagonist, increase the sense of substitution of book friends, and hope to make a breakthrough.
Finally, in the 5 years of 1941~1946, there were many storylines that could be worth writing about, although I had written down the outline, but in the end I had to give up, which are narrated in the final chapter 2 and the final chapter 3.
For example, the operation of clearing up Japanese spies in Changsha, the operation of clearing Japanese spies again in Chongqing, and the most noteworthy moment in the history of Chinese intelligence before the Pearl Harbor incident, especially the battle process of He Siming after he went to Xiamen Special High School, and so on, can be written in detail.
If there is an author, or a book friend of the spy movie, who is willing to write a fan, describe these plots that I have not completed, and also fill a gap in the work of "Spy Shadow", Lao Teng will be very grateful!
Well, no more to say, in short, thank you again for your company, with you, the old vine has the motivation to get to today.
Thank you! We look forward to working with you again to continue the chapter!
