Chapter 241: Is This the Reality in Your Eyes?
The story of Yang Fan's chapter "The Writer and the Dog" has resonated with many street writers and kind-hearted readers, but it has become a "childish and ridiculous" thing in the eyes of those readers with colored eyes and extremes.
I don't know when insisting on this originally most precious virtue has become a kind of stupidity under the distortion of today's popular poisonous chicken soup and the media.
Many readers ridiculed in the book review area that this street writer is really stupid, and there are only 21 readers, why not reopen a book? After all, the big names in the online literature industry feel that useless persistence is just a waste of time!
Yang Fan looked indifferently at the readers in the book review area who thought they were very realistic and mature, and criticized the street writer in his novel for not being able to survive even three days in reality.
He looked indifferently at many writers who were familiar with a few masterpieces that did not match his own website pretending to be mature in his book review area, and now from the perspective of a successful person, he advises readers not to learn from this street writer and waste three years. They said "bitterly": People must be self-aware, and people must understand that if they are really not this material, then they must give up!
Yang Fan just looked at those people's comments indifferently, and he didn't know how long it took, Yang Fan finally couldn't help laughing.
After laughing, Yang Fan silently turned off the book review prompt and began to update the next chapter.
An hour later, Yang Fan clicked Post.
Then he lay down in his chair and closed his eyes.
Yang Fan's new chapter is called "The Dog and the Writer".
The content of this chapter is: The street writer who has done all this, under the arrangement of his family, enters a 9-to-5 company, and every day he is numb to and from work, numb work.
The three-year gap period of writing books made him a little uncomfortable in the workplace, especially in the area of interpersonal relationships. However, three years of writing books has made him develop a habit of never giving up. Although he is numb every day, he does every job assigned to him with his heart.
His intentions quickly made him appreciated, and he quickly became a grassroots manager. However, because he is not good at managing interpersonal relationships, he understands that in this rather complex company, this grassroots management can basically be directly said to be the pinnacle of his life's career.
Seeing that he had a stable job and was appreciated as a grassroots manager, his parents, who were originally worried about his future aging, finally breathed a sigh of relief, and the relieved parents also worried about his life events.
Under the arrangement and compulsion of his parents, this street writer participated in blind dates again and again, and in that blind date after blind date, this street writer with no experience in love slowly came into contact with many kinds of women, and slowly became a person who was no longer shy and longed for love.
In this blind date after blind date, he finally chose a woman with ordinary appearance, kindness and stable work as his object.
Like many people who participated in blind dates first got married and were in love, he and she soon got married. At his wedding, those kind people and his best friend who had been persuading him to bow down for life sent their most sincere wishes!
At his wedding, his best friend was so drunk that he put his arms around his neck like he did when he was in school. He said to him: "This is the right choice than writing books that no one cares about!"
Of course, this time, the street writer did not refute it, because he was already powerless to refute.
In this way, after an ordinary year, the street writer had a child.
It was also from the beginning of having children that the street writer finally experienced the pressure of life. He can't be as desireless as before, he has to work hard and work hard to support his family!
He learned to take the initiative in managing relationships, and he also learned to make real compromises.
After he learned all this, he originally thought that the pinnacle of his career in this life would finally start to increase, and because of this, he slowly learned to give up some things that he didn't think were worth sticking to!
The story ends abruptly, and this chapter, like the chapters of his book long ago, seems to have little to do with the title, but it is inextricably linked.
After the release of this chapter, countless readers saw the bloody reality from this chapter, and also saw the microcosm of many people's lives, but they also saw the depression.
This chapter is very realistic, so realistic that the picky trolls don't say anything about the naïve middle two.
However, this chapter seems to prove that those trolls and those excellent writers who point out the country are right.
After all, most people spend their lives in such a plain and ordinary way. After all, it's too naïve to cling to those dreams!
"Alas!" In a dilapidated office building, a man sighed, lit a cigarette, and said helplessly:
"I thought you would be able to continue my dream of writing, but it seems that you have also been defeated by reality. But I don't blame you, after all, this game is not like our previous petty fights on xx net. I have to admit that this is the life of those of us who are not talented and not recognized as street writers. ”
The writer who spoke was Li Xin of xx.com, the first writer Yang Fan knew, and he gave up writing since his book hit the streets.
Li Xin is like the street writer in the novel, after the novel failed, he found a stable job, learned to compromise between work and reality, learned to give up, and learned a lot of things that writing novels could not give him.
"Hey, I'm Fanfan. It seems that you also gave up because you were not good at handling interpersonal relationships, but this is fine, learn from me to do a job that does not deal with people. In SH City, a middle-aged man bowed his head at the construction site and said.
This middle-aged man is the magic knife who was unwilling to compromise with the bear editor before. He has now given up writing, like Li Xin, and he has also found a job in reality. That job is on the construction site, although the magic knife is very tiring, but the advantage is that he doesn't have to deal with people, he just needs to work hard every day.
"It seems that we street writers have the same life!" In the buckle group of street writers who invited Yang Fan to join before, many people resonated with Yang Fan's reality in this chapter.
After all, in their lives and in the eyes of others, they have always been failures and fools!
When everyone thought that Yang Fan had compromised and admitted the reality, Yang Fan asked himself:
"If I hadn't met that unreliable system and that naïve administrator, this would have been my life. ”
However, he soon opened his eyes and clenched his fists hard.
"Even if I hadn't met this unreliable system, and I hadn't met this naïve administrator, I don't think my life would be like this. Because this is the reality in the eyes of those who think life is the way it should be, not the reality in my eyes!"
After Yang Fan finished saying this, he pounced on the computer. The third story is updated immediately after the beginning!
After three hours, that is, with less than three hours left in the game, Yang Fan's new chapter has finally been updated!
"I guess it's the inspirational story of this street writer who succeeded because he bowed his head to the real reality, right?" a college student with colored eyes smiled at his roommate who liked Yang Fan's books and continued:
"It seems that the author you like is nothing more than that, and in the end, he will end up bowing his head. Instead of watching these chicken soup for the soul, why don't you follow me to see what kind of pig and tiger are pretending to be pigs and eating tigers, and look at the dark and cool texts, how interesting it is, and it can also let you know the society in advance!"
And the reader who liked Yang Fan's book did not respond to him.
He just silently opened Yang Fan's book and read it carefully, and then, he suddenly felt that his heart was touched by something, and he began to cry uncontrollably.
"Hahaha, even if your favorite writer is defeated by reality as I said, you don't have to cry! Anyway, he has already lowered his head, this is the reality we want!" After the heartless and self-righteous college student said this, he opened Yang Fan's book and glanced at Yang Fan's chapters roughly.
Then, suddenly, he felt difficulty breathing.
This sudden feeling made this self-righteous person close his mouth and be silent.
He looked at this chapter repeatedly, and after a long time, he couldn't help but close his eyes and whisper, "This... It's not... The reality I want... Why... I suddenly felt like this was the reality I wanted again..."
Yang Fan's latest chapter has only two words in its name, "Writer." ”
This chapter is roughly about that:
The street writer gets a lot of things he can't get when he writes books, such as the money that comes from a successful career, and the respect of a high-ranking person and friends who climb the dragon and the phoenix.
However, the street writer is not happy at all when he is tired every day.
As time went by, there were more and more street writers who were already in high positions and socialized. He felt out of breath almost every day, and it was these tedious work and the desire to improve his status that also taught him to be dissatisfied and arrogant.
He began to learn to complain and express his dissatisfaction with society. At the same time, because of the success of his identity career, he has made many friends who he feels matches his identity. Slowly, he forgot about the kind people who had helped him.
In this way, the street writer seems to be going to the path that many people think that successful people in life should take, but he keeps making choices on this road, because in order to go further, he has to give up a lot of unnecessary things.
He gave up the friends who were kind and helped him now and are not worthy of him, he gave up the kind and silently supported him but the ordinary-looking wife, he gave up his original dedication to writing and all the qualities that Yang Fanshu felt was naïve and should be abandoned!
Slowly, he got everything he couldn't get a book for!
He is like those readers who should think that reality should be like this, step by step to the pinnacle of power!
However, he lost his character and went with the flow. In the end, he offended the richer and more powerful, and the "friends" who he thought could help him slowly disappeared, and he gradually lost his power, friends and wealth.
Just like the lost dogs mentioned in the readers' book review section, the street writer who has nothing can only rely on Daifuku and the legless bird for his life.
When he had nothing, he thought back to his life, to the kind friends who were so familiar and now so strange. Thinking of the kind woman who got married on a blind date and he felt that he had no feelings, he remembered a lot, especially when he remembered that he was very happy when he was most embarrassed.
Maybe it's because people only find out what they want when they're in the most difficult time. The street writer took Daifuku and returned to the small rental house at the beginning of the dream, holding the laptop that he bought with the last money and began to code.
It's just that this time, he no longer has the original heart, he has bowed his head to the reality and those online tutors, he keeps not receiving a short station because of tens of thousands of words, keeps changing IDs and opening new books, and keeps consuming readers' enthusiasm.
Of course, through continuous trying, he still managed to sign a contract and became a signed writer.
Moreover, he also knows how to bow to readers, bowing his head to write Xiaobaiwen that does not match his age, and slowly his books are infamous a lot, but he earns tens of thousands of dollars a month and has become a real writer of online articles!
is also because of the bowing and the guidance of those online text tutors, every book he has since used the same routine, attracted countless gold, and walked to the small peak of online writers.
In addition, he has successfully appeared in newspapers, appeared in the media, and became a member of the Forbes network writers' rich list.
Just when he thought that he had succeeded in being recognized by the readers, Daifuku, whose old life was about to come to an end, quietly left him with a bird without feet.
Daifuku took the footless bird back to the original beach after a lot of hardships, and found the printout that was thrown away by the street writer but was hidden by himself.
Then, Daifuku went back to the street writer after a lot of hardship, handed the only incomplete printout to the street writer, and then collapsed and never got up again.
The street writer took the manuscript that Daifuku handed over to him, who was once the second child of middle school, and watched Daifuku, who had always been with him, finally fall down and never get up again, this man who hadn't cried for ten years finally couldn't help crying.
At the end of the story, this street writer buries Daifuku, and finds the five million words of street fighting novels he once wrote, and reads them from beginning to end.
After reading it, the writer on the street asked the reader for leave, regained the IDs that he had given up before, and rewrote the books of those eunuchs.
This time, he writes very seriously, just like himself ten years ago, writing novels with heart.
This time, because he was already very famous, his novels that should have hit the street were rushed to be signed by many websites, but he refused.
Because, he wanted to write it to Daifuku.
It's also because he wants to write it for himself.
This chapter of the story came to an abrupt end here, although there are many logical irrationalities in this chapter of the story, but it inexplicably makes people feel silent and moved, especially in the three sentences in this chapter of the story, which touched the softest place in the hearts of many readers who originally thought that they had already been "ruthless".
Those three sentences are:
"If you think that life is supposed to be cruel and unforgiving, and that those who are kind and stick to their original intentions are all virgins and fools. Then if you look at the people around you, you will find that there are always fools who are fighting for the childish promises they made in the first place. It is these fools and Madonnas who create such professions as scientists, artists and novelists in this world. ”
"If you feel that your life is too stressful and reading novels just to relieve stress, then I can tell you that reading novels can't relieve your stress, because you need to wave your fists to crush those real pressures, instead of choosing to escape!"
"Don't denigrate and ridicule something or someone without trying, because in addition to showing your naivety, in the hearts of those who really love it and do what they like, no matter how much you slander or ridicule, he will never give up!"
