Postscript The song is over
『Chapter error, click here to report』
At 2:37 a.m. on September 24, 2006, I typed "All the Books Finished" on the computer's clipboard, and the championship was over.
This is the longest work I've ever written since I started writing manuscripts in junior high school and uploading them to my class—it's a long piece and a long time to write.
Just as I like to summarize Anke's career and Zhang Jun's career in the book with the structure of starting from a certain year, month, and day and ending on a certain year, month, and day, I should go back and summarize the champion's writing experience as well.
When I wrote the title "We Are the Champions" in a two-dollar notebook in September 2003, I never thought I would be able to take so long to finish it - I was always in the habit of overestimating my writing speed and underestimating the length and nonsense of my writing, and in fact if I wanted to continue to delay the manuscript fee, I could write the fifth part of the 300,000-word book again, and then you will see me on January 1, 2007 and promise again." This book must be completed in 2007."
Thankfully I didn't.
Maybe it's because I'm a guy who started writing on the Internet since graduating from college, and I've been writing about it until I graduated, about my job, and about quitting my job...... My life experience is so little that in the past four years, writing about the car, the champion, and the story of Zhang Jun has become the most important thing in my four years of life, and it has deeply left a unique trace on my life resume, so I poured almost all my feelings into it.
Therefore, when I wrote the chapter on Anke's retirement (Volume 5, Chapter 23, Thirty Years Old), I couldn't help but feel a wave of sadness from the bottom of my heart. Not only for Anke to retire, but also for the time that has passed for himself.
I am a person with multiple personalities, I like to pretend to be strong in front of people and don't care about anything, but inside I don't see anything strong, I care about everything. That's why I wrote Zhang Jun, because he is very much like myself, he is not strong, no matter how talented he is, how capable he is, he is not strong, such a protagonist is not likable at all in the Internet, and even annoying. Toad told me that the protagonist of this character was a failure, but my stubbornness made me continue to write, because I felt very kind to write such a Zhang Jun: he is like myself, I can always empathize with everything about him, he is hurt by the pain, he is confused by love, his sadness at the loss of his loved ones, and his helplessness to say goodbye in advance...... I really feel all of this, and I hope that I can gradually become stronger like him.
He said that when he met me at the beginning of the meeting at the end of last year, he thought I was a very melancholy person. I was shocked, and I remember when I was chatting with him, he was talking and dancing. How can it be melancholy? Actually, I've always been a guy who likes to spoof. But I don't deny that I'm a sensual person. It's easy for me to be moved by the cliché touching scenes, which are to say that I'm actually very cheesy.
Anke's retirement made me feel bad all day, writing Zhang Jun's last goal for the national team, and the last game was also in the early hours of the morning, I turned off the lights, in the dark room, listening to the singing sound coming out of the headphones, "Born Like a Summer Flower" I listened to it over and over again, looking at the words on the document, my eyes were a little blurry. It was as if he was at the scene, and he followed the narrator and said, "Goodbye, Zhang Jun." "Same.
Those people spent four years of my youth with me, and their departure, like the departure of friends in real life, always makes me sad for a while.
When I wrote "Chapter Twenty-Nine", I used to want Zhang Jun to say goodbye to Basten in a simple sentence, and then turn around and leave coolly. But I found that I couldn't do it, because I, like Zhang Jun in the article, have a lot of nonsense. So I wrote that press conference in 5,000 words, saying what I wanted to say through Zhang Jun's mouth, and he said goodbye to everyone and thanked everyone. I would also like to thank all the people who have supported me through these more than three years.
And "Chapter 30 The Back of the Legend" made me think about it for a long time, wrote it for three days, deleted and rewrote it three times. Because I can't always be satisfied with the final ending, Zhang Jun's last game.
I wanted the game to be so sentimental, but also to show Zhang Jun and everything related to Zhang Jun, including his friends, his opponents, his fans, his family, reporters, commentators...... And so on and so forth, and when I got to 10,000 words, I found that I had written a four-like, nondescript.
What is it?! Is this Zhang Jun's last game? I looked at what was written and asked myself, then shook my head and deleted it and rewrote it.
The second time it was a little better, but when it came to 13,000 words, I gave up again because I felt that I had written a game like a running account, and I wanted to write about everything, and it turned out to be completely unfocused. So I deleted the more than 8,000 words that I had written.
That's it, what you see now is the third time I've written it. I still can't be satisfied, but I don't think I can write any better...... There are so many things I want to say, but the space and skills are limited, and I can't go through them all, so I can only give up some and leave them to the reader to think about. After I finished writing, I realized that I had forgotten some details, but looking at the 19,000-word final battle that had already been written, I couldn't muster the slightest strength to add the things that had been forgotten and now remembered again, forget it, so be it...... Striving for perfection does not mean that it has to be perfect, and Zhang Jun's last game may not be perfect, but it is not bad.
"Epilogue" was written after I thought about it for two days, and like the previous chapter, there are too many things in my head, but I can't write it like keeping a running account. The future of those people must be explained, Zhang Jun as the protagonist of his life after retirement can not be written, I don't want to write a postscript without weight, how many words each person averages, and then theend.
In the end, I chose a "narration + description" method to write, just like the method often used in TV movies and cartoons, and the narration is produced at the same time as the picture is produced. So it looks a little bit fragmented, and I've tried a lot to make them look a little more coherent and focused, but the technique is still not there.
A long, long time before writing the chapter where Zhang Jun announced his retirement, I had an idea to borrow Li Yan's hand to write a career summary for Zhang Jun, which was actually what I wanted to say: what kind of protagonist Zhang Jun is. I opened the document, took the title, saved it, and finally gave up. Because I found that I couldn't write, my mind was messing around, and if I wrote hard, I might end up not being satisfied with myself, and I wasted a night and maybe deleted it again. I gave myself an excuse for being lazy and not writing: Isn't the whole championship a summary of Zhang Jun's career? I used more than 3 million words to talk about "what kind of protagonist is Zhang Jun", isn't it enough? Do you want to draw a snake to add some kind of sex to him? So I won't write it, my story is here, I let everyone evaluate it for themselves, in your eyes and hearts, he is what he is, like it or hate it, it has nothing to do with others, it all cares about your heart.
So, the championship was written.
For me, there are many, many regrets, the championship is not how much I wrote, it can be watched by so many people, just because it is long enough and maintains coherence, and it is never interrupted. It has a lot of problems and I have quite a few shortcomings. There are many typos, the logic is confused, the writing is written and the front is forgotten, the preface does not match the afterword, the writing is not up to par, the verbosity is blunt, technical errors are everywhere, and strategic mistakes and tactical mistakes are not listed one by one......
Toad once asked me, why did I have to write the fifth part, wouldn't it be better to have a happy ending from the championship to the fourth part? What do you read on the Internet? Happy body and mind! What do you have to do with a tragedy? What the reader doesn't like to read, what you write about. Readers don't like to see the protagonist injured, so you let Zhang Jun be injured for eight months! Readers don't like to watch the protagonist go through setbacks, and you make Zhang Jun full of ups and downs. Readers don't like to watch tragedy, and you have to write a fifth part after the fourth part on what theme is sadness and reflection! You author who likes to work against readers! Do you have to be a servant to the street to get home?
I can only smile bitterly at this, of course I know what readers like to watch and what they hate to watch, when did I write that Zhang Jun was injured and frustrated, and the book review area was not scolded? But even so, I'm still going to write the fifth part. Why?
Although I made some money writing championships, I was able to make my family's life okay...... Readers' liking is my lifeblood, and I'm no different from most business writers. But there is another insistence in my heart - I want to finish what I want to say and finish the story I want to write. Because no one reads it in other places, people don't want newspapers and magazines, and the publication is far away, so I only have the platform of the Internet, so everyone is wronged to see me write alone in the last fifth part...... You can only mumble in the book review section: When will you finish writing?
Maybe it has something to do with my habit of writing in the first place. Once upon a time, when I was in school, I wrote the so-called first to satisfy my own YY**, in order to write the story in my heart. The reader is me, and as for being able to spread the word, let other students see it, and even spread it to other schools, that is my honor and an additional benefit. Therefore, this writing habit makes me think about my own feelings first when I write things, and what I write must move myself, and if I can't even move myself, I will feel that it is garbage and cannot be taken out for people to see. Before I wrote about the champion, I also wrote a book about traveling to another world to dominate the world, but it was not posted on the Internet. A few years later, when I turned it out and revisited it, I found that I couldn't tolerate the countless hard and naïve writing characters in it, and finally dispelled the idea of changing the vest and sending it online to earn VIP......
In this way, I am actually very sorry for the readers. Because the first thing I think about is myself, and then the reader. This has caused a long chapter of the champion to be a cool one, and you are suffering...... Every time I write about Zhang Jun's disappointment, my writing speed increases. I don't know why, maybe I'm right, I'm a melancholy person. I like tragedy, I like to abuse myself, I like to create a lot of sentimental things for myself, and then I am immersed in it and feel that I am the most pitiful person in the world...... Ah, how ridiculous, but that's who I am.
Therefore, I let Zhang Jun get hurt and encounter setbacks again and again, which broke the hearts of the majority of readers, and even lost a lot of subscriptions for this - the highest subscription for the first four parts of the championship is more than 8,000, and the average subscription is between 5,000 and 6,000, but unfortunately I am buying out the money according to the number of words, so no matter how high the subscription is, I can't get more money. And since the fifth part of the championship, the subscription has plummeted, with an average subscription of only 3,000, and it has been updated again after breaking the ten-day net, and the subscription of 10,000 words per day is even lower, only 2,000. This speaks volumes about the readers' preferences, and fortunately I was a buyout, so I was able to keep my mindset and keep writing what I wanted to write without having to look at how the subscription affected my mood.
I'm a person who is easily influenced by the outside world, and one reader said "garbage, don't read it!" "I can feel like a failure. But in the same way, as long as a reader leaves a comment in the book review section praising my good writing, I can regain my confidence and feel that I am really as good as he says ....... I am a big lazy worm who can sit and never stand, and I never think that I can hold on to a book for three years before it is finished. For myself, in the past three years, I have not only written a YY, but also that I have really learned a lot from this process, Zhang Jun is growing, and I am also here.
Toad said in an essay I begged him to write, "From the time I play football, do you care, to the fact that we are champions." Lin Hai injected his biggest hobbies and emotions into these two novels. Write books online, either for money or for hobbies. But Lin Hai wrote a book, which makes people feel that he has poured his own life. These two books are part of his life in the past few years, and they are inseparable from him. (Excerpt from Dragon's Sky Original Review Edition "[Original] Five People and Five New Books to Look Forward to This Year.") by The Stray Toad)
I don't want to put gold on my face, and I'm not narcissistic. But I want to say that his words speak to my heart, the championship is indeed mixed with too many of my thoughts, all kinds of feelings, I use it as a platform to express my views, for football, for life, for ourselves.
To have a confidant like a toad, I don't think I have lived in vain in the past few years.
And I am equally grateful to those readers and friends who persevered through the fifth part and really understood my intention to write the fifth part. It was you who made me feel that the last 300,000 words were not written in vain, and that I was not alone in talking to myself, but that someone had really heard my words that were almost delusional, and they resonated.
That's enough, what could be happier than having your own efforts made others understand?
Saying so much, in fact, I want to thank those tolerant readers who have always supported me and allowed me to write so willfully and finish writing the championship.
Finally, as is customary, thank you to everyone who deserves to be thanked, thank you to the readers of the public edition, maybe you haven't paid a penny for my book, but you used your votes and clicks to get more people to pay attention to the champion. Today, you are the champion.
Thank you to the VIP readers and physical readers who paid for my books, your face appreciation made me feel that my labor has meaning. You are the ones who really feed me.
Thank you to the sites that hosted the champions, and you were able to extend the reach of the champions by sending me a warm residency invitation at a time when sports didn't have a place of their own.
Thanks to the starting point and freshness, adding the champion to their VIP program, so that a lazy coder like me can also make money by writing books.
Thanks to my friends, no matter who you are, you have supported me so that I can get to where I am today and write "The End of the Book".
In the past three years, Lin Hai Tingtao is not a good author, not a good person, he is too willful, too selfish, which hurts some people's hearts, makes some people leave disappointed, and makes some people angry. But still have to thank you with a lot of shame for your support and advice...... Finally, a little bit about the plans for the new book.
I was advised to write a sequel to the champion. Indeed, there are too many things that can be played behind the championship, such as Zhang Jun's football school, the story of Zhang Jun and Yang Pan and their descendants...... But for me, the end of the championship is the end, and there is no need to write any sequels, which will undoubtedly ruin the image of those people in the minds of the majority of readers. I plan to use the sequel to supplement the explanation to the champion, and I will not use the method of fried cold rice to tell everyone: Lin Hai Tingtao is no good.
If one day Lin Hai listened to what Tao wrote that no one read and couldn't write, then he would choose to leave. It's a big deal to find a job to work, start from scratch, and usually be a laughing and scolding reading novice, free......
The manuscript of the new book has already begun to be written, but it is written very slowly, and recently I have completely abandoned the writing progress of the new book in order to write the ending of the championship with all my might. The new book is still a campus emotional theme, similar to the style of care, but it is very different from care, and I hope it will be more mature and outstanding.
The name is "Natural Waste Wood", which describes the struggle experience of a waste firewood, I hope you like it.
According to the plan, I will meet you at the end of October, please pay attention to the advertisements of various forums and websites at that time, if you have my QQ, it is better, you can follow the signature of my QQ...... No matter how long the journey is, there will be an end, no matter how lively the feast will be, no matter how glorious the drama is, there will be a time when the curtain will be bleak, and no matter how fierce the game is, there will be a time to blow the final whistle......
Ladies and gentlemen, we have been with Zhang Jun and them for three years, and we hope that their stories will be remembered by you occasionally in the future. Now it's time to say goodbye, and everyone who has walked together before, let's agree to meet at the end of October. I hope you'll be on another journey with me at that time.
Lin Hai listened to Tao at 3:26 p.m. on September 24, 2006 in Chengdu, Sichuan.
Biqu Ge.
