Chapter 389: Writing and Popularity
The best way to improve your writing is through reading and professional training.
But the upcoming finals do not allow Yang Fan to spend a lot of time on reading and professional training, plus the original high hopes of the writer's heart exchange has obtained an inexplicably improved five-dimensional writer's heart, so now the only thing Yang Fan can do is self-practice.
With the improvement of the five dimensions, he now has a unique advantage in codewords.
And practicing in advance also has the advantage of being able to get a new understanding of his work before the competition.
As this competition draws to a close, so must Yang Fan's novel.
Although the competition does not stipulate that the participating novels must end before the competition, for Yang Fan, who has always been strict with himself, this is the basic quality of a writer.
He turned on the computer and looked at the current story.
Because the current story is the story between the three models and the college entrance examination, although Yang Fan really wants to write the story after the summer vacation, but in just two days, he is not allowed to open a pit again.
Now, all he has to do is how to fill the hole that he had planted before, and how to finish the work in two to three days with the rhythm in his hands.
For Yang Fan, who has skyrocketed in five dimensions, there should be no problem in writing 100,000 words a day with code word gloves.
So, during the two days of rest, Yang Fan wrote 180,000 words.
However, Yang Fan decided to only screen the 180,000 words, and then sort out the plot with 30,000 to 50,000 words a day according to the progress of the competition.
Halving 180,000 is not an easy task.
Because the average writer will only change the number of words more and more when he changes his work, if he wants to forcibly reduce it, there will definitely be no such thing as guaranteeing the quality.
For this reason, Yang Fan decided to go to the side without sleep before the competition to ensure the quality.
In the process of revision, Yang Fan deleted a lot of content that he felt had nothing to do with the exam, such as love, such as the performance of the student's family before the college entrance examination and the expectations of those parents and teachers for their children.
However, such a modification feels as if it has lost its soul, and those youth that should have bloomed seem to have begun to become a lot more depressed because of the competition...
In the time when Yang Fan revised his works and trained his writing, Lao Shi was also not idle.
When Lao Shi looked at the popular writers who originally thought that they were the hope of traditional literature, they all stretched out their greedy hands to ask him for publicity money, he was originally very entangled in his heart, because he felt that since he was a literati, then literati must have principles and their own persistence, but the persistence of those literati seemed to become worthless in the face of money.
He decided to satisfy the greed of those well-known writers, because he couldn't afford to lose tomorrow.
Lao Shi, who was originally in poor health and was old, knew that he would definitely not have long to live.
Maybe it's 10 years? Maybe it's 8 years? Maybe not next year. Lao Shi didn't know how long he would live. However, Lao Shi knows that if he loses the competition tomorrow, then the traditional literary authors who are serious about writing books and bringing real works to readers may also slowly change their taste and join a group of online writers who are different from what they expect.
Lao Shi doesn't have much money anymore, he was originally a writer whose works are popular but not popular.
In addition, the money he has spent writing books for so many years has either been donated to his family or to out-of-school children in need.
In his life, he only has 50,000 yuan all over his body. It was his coffin book, and it was also the last savings of his life.
And now he has handed over the 50,000 yuan to those greedy and well-known writers, and at the same time, he owes them 50,000.
"Is it worth it?" the old friend who had known him for many years looked at his lonely appearance and asked silently at his back.
But, as those who know Lao Shi think, Lao Shi did not answer.
To do something that you think is right, there is no value or not, only whether you want to do it or not!
On the day before the competition, countless well-known writers, standing on the moral high ground, recommended Lao Shi's works, they cried about how difficult it was for them to have Lao Shi, and hoped that those readers with positive energy would support Lao Shi's books tomorrow. So that Lao Shi can win the championship. to prove that traditional literature is much better than online literature.
In their tearful publicity, Lao Shi's works also appeared on the major hot searches overnight. made countless netizens curious about Lao Shi, a strange writer.
Through various netizens, Lao Shi's information was quickly exposed.
Whether it is Lao Shi's works or his sponsorship of students, they have been greatly beautified in the mouths of these hot whistleblowers.
This beautification has created a polarizing effect, with some people being moved to pledge all their votes to Lao Shi's work at tomorrow's game, while others think it's just a hype and watch the matter with what they call "calm".
However, no matter what kind of attitude they use to look at Lao Shi, they can't deny that Lao Shi is popular, and they can't deny that his entries are really good.
In this way, Yang Fan also became a "villain" for the first time because of this popularity.
However, no matter what remarks are unfavorable to Yang Fan on the Internet, xx.com and Yang Fan will have an indifferent attitude.
After all, on the Internet, there are two things that cannot be trusted, one is promise, and the other is the so-called kindness.
These two things are the most lacking things in the real world, and they are also the cheapest things on the Internet...
How many promises have been changed by time and reality? How many kindnesses have been disguised by those who want to be famous?
On the Internet, who can understand right and wrong?
When Lao Shi became a popular figure in the media, Yang Fan had already completed a partial reduction.
Indeed, after condensing the plot, Yang Fan's works no longer seem to be muddy and watery, and have become clean and neat. At the same time, in order to tell a story in a few sentences, Yang Fan's writing control has also improved a lot.
However, this kind of work that blindly pursues only writing is what Yang Fan expects?
Yang Fan looked at the two completely different manuscripts and fell into silence.
"What kind of work can make everyone like it..."Yang Fan looked at the ceiling and asked himself silently.
"Is it a well-written work, or is it a strong story, or is it a text that can penetrate people's hearts?"
Yang Fan suddenly remembered that the chapter in the book "Looking Up at the Stars" he wrote at the beginning, that chapter was the only chapter he cried since he wrote the book.
Recalling what happened before and after that chapter, Yang Fan suddenly understood how to practice the true method of writing.
He turned off the two manuscripts that he had spent so much energy working on, and he closed his eyes, thinking back to all the things that had happened during the three days he had observed at school.
Then, Yang Fan smiled.
