The visit was conducted in a question-and-answer format, so let's see how he answered my carefully prepared questions.

Question 1: What is the origin of a pen name?

Yundongliu: Origin? There is no specific origin.

I established this account relatively early, and I used this account when I released the first "Online Game: Chivalrous World" in 06.

At that time, everyone was relatively conservative when choosing pen names, and many people were unconsciously influenced by old-fashioned martial arts when they chose names. My situation is roughly the same, I especially liked the Hong Kong comic "Fengyun" at that time, so I added the word "cloud" to the pen name, and the word "Dongliu" made some differences from other people's pen names, and it was also a vassal elegance.

That's it.

Question 2: Who pulled you into the pit of online articles? Or who is your online guide?

Yun Dongliu: This, there shouldn't be any, right?

I remember that I was chasing a book at the time, and I felt extremely depressed, so I thought about writing one myself, and then I wrote it, and then I persevered.

Question 3: What was your motivation for writing the new book?

Yun Dongliu: I don't have any specific motives. I just want to write, and if I can bring some income, I can write...... Anyway, I don't have any other skills, of course, to chase my dreams.

Question 4: What are the points that make you remember or move deeply in the process of creating online articles?

Yun Dongliu: If you want to talk about this, it should be the human touch of the online literature circle, right?

Whether it is an editor, a peer or a reader, I feel that everyone I have come into contact with is very good, especially during my creative period, due to some reasons in reality, there is a gap of 6 years, and I have disappeared in the online literature circle in these 6 years.

What is the concept of six years? It's about the same as going from the first year of high school to the third year of college......

And when I came back, I found that the book friend group that I had established at the beginning, and there were also book friends who occasionally sent messages. When I contacted the editor of that year, he had already been promoted to editor-in-chief and no longer accepted manuscripts, but he was still very enthusiastic to give me some guidance to keep up with the times, and enthusiastically helped introduce the editor-in-charge.

I was very touched by all of this.

Question 5: Which of your characters do you particularly like and can't put down?

Yundongliu: Zhang Fang, Zhang Tianya, Ye Li, Hua Feixue...... Until now, Ye Weiming, Knife Girl, Xiaoqiao, many important characters, have poured their hearts and souls, and I like them all.

If you have to choose a favorite, it's probably Ye Li, right?

Question 6: Do you have any good guidance for new authors? What are the classification recommendations for recommending entering the pit?

Yun Dongliu: If you haven't entered the pit yet, I recommend being cautious about entering the pit. Because, the way of creating is more than that, if it's for just a meal, it's not the best choice to invest in online articles.

Moreover, the cycle of online articles is relatively long, and it often takes several months for a book to be conceived from the beginning of its conception to the shelf and the results.

It's best not to hold the idea of a book as a god, and now many senior authors and great god authors dare not guarantee that their new books will have ideal results, so ...... Be cautious.

If you really like it, or if you can stick to it for a while without making money, I think it's good to write what you like and are interested in.

Although there are hot and cold among the various categories, in the same way, the resources of the unpopular channels are more, and the competitive pressure is not great, and vice versa.

So, instead of struggling with which category is best for you, ask yourself what you prefer.

Question 7: Do you have any favorite authors or works?

Yun Dongliu: For the author's words, I prefer tomatoes, that is, I eat tomatoes, which is one of the five whites, and I like every one of his books, whether it is the story structure or the wonderful conception of the cultivation system.

When it comes to my favorite works, although when faced with this problem, I would like to pick out one of the Chinese and foreign masterpieces to show my own style.

But to be honest, I like "The King's Life" the most.

Question 8: Do you have any creative plans for your next work?

Yun Dongliu: No, I don't dare to have it now.

One of my personal lessons here is that when writing a book, it's best not to think about it. Otherwise, it's likely that you'll be thinking about it, and you'll start thinking about ending this book as soon as possible and filling in new brain holes.

In fact, many eunuchs and unfinished eunuchs came in this way. Zilang literature

So, when your current book grades are good, try not to think about some things that you don't have, and doing a good job in the present is the king.

Question 9: Is there anything you want to brag about in the work that is being serialized? Or tell us about your plot ideas?

Yun Dongliu: This is the one I really feel for, right?

It can be seen from the results that the miserable horse before this time has some achievements now.

As for the plot idea, hmm...... No spoilers.

Question 10: Do you have any new expectations for the future of online articles?

Yun Dongliu: In fact, the general environment of online literature is also changing with the times.

The changes in the environment of the times are an opportunity and a challenge for every online writer, and how to grasp the opportunity and meet the challenge is also a problem that every online writer needs to face.

I feel that the overall environment is definitely getting better and better, but how to adapt their works to the times and the market is a problem that every author needs to think about.

What is my future prospect for myself, will I ride the wind and waves, or will I sink into the sand? I can't say for sure. Not to mention more.

In short, try to be yourself and try to keep up with the times.

【Summary】

I got acquainted with him because of the 24-book joint book review event. I had the privilege of judging with him on the 24 books that were the best book reviews.

He was very gentle and not cold at all.

I always thought that level 5 authors would be more cold, because they were only one step away from becoming a god.

This time I talked to him about the interview, and he quickly agreed, and he was very happy.

Actually, I'm even happier. Because I made a lot of appointments with the operating officer, and they all failed.

I just had the idea to do it. In fact, the effect may not be as good as the effect of my special book.

So, I'm grateful that he can agree.

Only when you try it can you know if it works. Even if it doesn't work, it's a result.

There was another thing about him that touched me a lot.

I prepared ten questions, and he answered them all very well, very sincerely, very sincerely. This is really rare and exceeded my expectations.

Regarding the interview, some people like to chat, you can count the words, add expressions, and pretend to be cute.

I've thought about it too.

Later, considering that everyone is an author, time is precious, and it can easily turn into an awkward conversation.

Therefore, since it is engaged in writing work, it may be more rational and comprehensive to express it in the form of words.

It's just that it's hard to pretend to be cute.

Having said that, I really admire these people who have been writing books for many years and still keep writing. This road is very difficult to walk, and many people get separated after they get up.

Therefore, please support Yun Dongliu and his "I Can Extract Proficiency", and hope to achieve ten thousand orders as soon as possible.

Finally, thank you again for accepting my interview.

【Summary】

Writing is not easy, but do it and cherish it!

I'm Cang Yiwei, and I bring salt to "Cang's Whispering"!

Welcome to Book Review Paradise.

【Cang's Whispering】

My short story received a beautiful blessing of 800,000 words from the writer's assistant yesterday, saying that I am one step closer to a million books.

Of course, I know this kind of thing best, where do I need Him to remind me?

I'm just wondering, when it's a million words, will anyone come to interview me?

The topic of millions of book reviews, as long as you throw away the self-media, is definitely an explosive topic.

Therefore, I must hide my identity and keep the opportunity to myself.

If one day my book also becomes popular, I am willing to broadcast live...... Leave a suspense.
