Chapter 9 It is oneself who really wants to redeem people
The fact that his work could be signed on the website made Jiang Ruofeng really happy, but within a few days, he couldn't be happy again.
I thought that I would get a recommendation after signing the contract, but then the click-through rate skyrocketed, and it has become popular since then. Finally, TV series are adapted, games are adapted, anime and manga are adapted, audiobooks are adapted, and physical books are published.
When the time comes, you will be able to make a lot of money. Isn't Sun Ying's family poor because of his brother, so he can raise his eyebrows now.
However, there is a saying, "The ideal is too plump, and the reality is too skinny". Why are you so right when you say this, I thought I was going to become popular with my work, and I raised my eyebrows.
The reality is, he's overthinking.
The contract was signed, but it didn't get a recommendation, and the click-through rate didn't go up. Of course, he also received a part of the manuscript fee.
After it was put on the shelves, before it was finished, he still won a two-month attendance award of 1,200 yuan based on the number of code words per day.
The money is indeed a little less, but Jiang Ruofeng still feels very happy, after all, it is definitely not because of so much effort before.
As the saying goes, it's hard to get started. This is just the beginning, and it should be a work of practice. Now that the first step has been taken smoothly, the road ahead will definitely be smoother and smoother.
Now all he has to do is to calm down and organize his thoughts and plan to start the next book.
How do you get started with a new book? First of all, before opening a new book, we should summarize the lessons learned from the previous book, and at the same time study the mentality of online readers and learn from the experience of those predecessors. In order to write a good book that can grab the reader, impress the reader, and also make people willing to pay for you.
Well, since the last book was because the genre was not chosen correctly, the storyline was old-fashioned and uninspired, the emotional expression ability was not enough, and the writing was not concise enough......
Well, I'll fix all of that.
After careful consideration, Jiang Ruofeng decided to change the genre this time, martial arts is not good, I will write Xianxia. He thought, this time it can be popular, right?
As a result, I confidently sent forty or fifty chapters up, and the sad thing happened again. It's not that his train of thought is stuck, it's that he finds that the plots he designed seem to have a sense of déjà vu.
Not surprisingly, the application for a new book recommendation was rejected as always.
At this time, Jiang Ruofeng finally realized the most fatal problem in himself - his imagination was not enough.
As a novel, beautiful and concise words can certainly make people read smoothly; The imaginative spatial layout and the magnificent scene architecture will indeed make people feel novel; The exhilarating fight scenes and awesome alternative moves are also important factors to attract readers; Coolness is even more important.
However, the most important and most important thing is the story structure, which is the soul of the novel, and it is the foundation. If it doesn't have a storyline that's engaging enough to resonate emotionally with the reader, the book is basically a scrap.
Since I don't have enough imagination to design those wonderful stories, I might as well ......
Jiang Ruofeng suddenly thought that he had seen too much of the blood-boiling fantasy world, and he had seen too much of the gorgeous magic of alternative wonders; tired of the blind love and hatred of the rivers and lakes, and tired of the vulgar children's love; I am familiar with the routine of Diaosi's counterattack, and I am tired of the bloody plot of the domineering president falling in love with me.
In an era when online novels are full of blind rebirth and systematic streaming, will honestly writing something realistic still attract readers?
It's like modern people are tired of eating big fish and meat, and occasionally eating some wild vegetables feels that there is a different taste.
With his mind decided, he began to write his memoir from his high school days, "Flowers Bloom in the Rainy Season", with himself and Sun Ying as the protagonists of the book.
Writing about their trivial anecdotes in school, the bits and pieces of their lives, and their work after graduation, etc., I didn't expect to be really successful.
Although he does not earn hundreds of millions of dollars a year like platinum writers, the manuscript fee of more than 3,000 yuan a month is enough to support himself and support Su Yu.
From then on, Jiang Ruofeng felt that his whole mental state was much better all of a sudden, and his mood was much more comfortable than before.
With his help, the economic crisis of Su Yu's family was temporarily lifted, and the girl's depression was cured. It's no longer as sullen all day long as before.,More and more laughing.,Finally, it's back to the liveliness and brilliance that a flower girl should have.。
The relationship between Jiang Ruofeng and the girl has also become closer, and when he is fine, he will come to his house to have a look and talk to him. He also often tidied up the house and did his laundry for him. It is no longer a person to go out for a walk after dinner, and the two of them occasionally go out to climb a mountain on weekends, and the days are comfortable and leisurely.
At this time, Jiang Ruofeng realized that he and Su Yu were redeeming each other. He originally thought that he was redeeming Su Yu, but in fact, the person he really wanted to redeem was himself.
Moreover, for Jiang Ruofeng, there were more people in and out of the house, and the atmosphere was obviously more than a minute and a half more active than before.
When he was too lazy to move, he always went to the girl's house to eat, and they got along more and more harmoniously with each other.
Seeing that her daughter is happy, the mood of being a mother is naturally good. It didn't take long for Su Yu's mother's illness to gradually begin to recover, and although it has not completely healed so far, it has not recurred.
However, there is a pattern in this world. When a good thing reaches its peak, it will slowly decline and gradually become a bad thing.
Behind this joy, a bad hidden danger is also quietly brewing.
Jiang Ruofeng's physical foundation was not very good, because he stayed up late for a long time, which caused him to suffer from serious sleep deprivation, coupled with a lack of exercise, and it was very brain-intensive to write books.
The overload of mental work made Jiang Ruofeng's health worse and worse, and he obviously felt that his energy was getting worse day by day, his legs were becoming more and more numb, and the probability of headaches was becoming more and more frequent.
Of course, he didn't tell Su Yu about this. The girl is about to take the college entrance examination, and she can't be affected by herself.
In the end, the hard work paid off, and the girl was admitted to the provincial key university with excellent results.
As soon as the stone in his heart landed, Jiang Ruofeng suddenly felt a lot easier. I haven't been back for more than a year, so let's go see my parents.
I don't know why, I originally wanted to go back to my hometown, but when I booked a train ticket, I habitually booked a ticket for Lanzhou. After getting off the bus, I habitually went to Xiyuan University, and fortunately, I met Sun Ying by chance.
After dinner that day, Zhong Suyu was hesitating to call Jiang Ruofeng and ask him when he would come back. When I picked up my phone, I found that a strange call had just arrived. She didn't want to answer, but when she saw that it was a local number, her hand subconsciously slid to pick it up.
The person on the other end of the phone cautiously asked, "Comrade Su Yu, are you free, come out to play?"
As soon as Zhong Suyu heard that it was a boy, he was about to hang up the phone, but when he heard the other party call his name directly, he must have known someone, so he had to ask, "Who?"
"I'm ......", the person on the other end of the phone was very unhappy, and said cheaply: "Don't you hear who I am?"
The voice did sound familiar, but I couldn't remember who it was. Of course, Zhong Suyu didn't plan to continue chatting with the other party, and asked directly: "Are you okay, I'll hang up if it's okay."
"Don't, didn't you ask if you were free, it's my birthday today, do you want to come and play?"
The co-author is to let himself celebrate his birthday, right, I think it is a classmate in the class: "I'm sorry, I still have something to do, I don't have time to come out."
"Ah......", the voice on the other end of the phone seemed to be a little disappointed: "Then are you free tomorrow, a few classmates in our class have made an appointment to go hiking, can you go?" In a few days, as soon as the school opened, we were scattered all over the country, and it was not easy to get together again. ”
Zhong Suyuxin said, this person is really boring, am I very familiar with you, what mountain to climb: "You guys go, tomorrow I will accompany my mother to the hospital for a review."
"Oh, that's it, I'll talk about it later."
