Lao Shi's Bear Network not only crushed the starting network known as the leading website on the first day, but on the next second day, his Bear Network still surpassed the starting network with a big score and became the only team to advance with a score of 2-0 in the knockout round.

On the day of the Bear.com's promotion, including the organizers, they were caught off guard by the 2-0 result, and they could only announce the final three days later after a short discussion.

On the day of the promotion of the bear network, Yang Fan fell into silence.

He didn't expect Lao Shi to really eliminate the start network as he said, and he didn't expect that the writer who borrowed money from him before actually surpassed the god writer of the start network in this competition, and became a big help for the dog bear network to advance so quickly.

Unexpectedly, Yang Fan returned to the hotel, opened Lao Shi and the writer's book for the first time, and read it carefully.

During the reading, Yang Fan vaguely found the biggest difference between online literature and traditional literature.

That is, although some traditional literature is not as big as some online articles of the same type, traditional literature has more dry goods than online articles of the same type.

These dry goods are often in line with the times and the values preached today, and traditional literature is good at using the wisdom of ancient people and the sense of time.

Especially in historical novels and suspense novels, their authors are good at using their knowledge to enhance the connotation of the novel and put a veil of mystery on it.

Just like Lao Shi's historical novel, he started from a teenager who got half of the well-known "Book of Luban", showing the joys, sorrows and sorrows of the Ming Dynasty carpenter emperor Zhu Youxiao, a dynasty ruled by eunuchs.

The kind of story conceived by Lao Shi should have been reduced to mediocrity because of the lack of wonderful battle scenes and the lack of complex officialdom intrigues.

However, Lao Shi wrote six points of truth and four parts of fiction based on history, and changed the focus from the intrigue and grievances of everyone's aesthetic fatigue to a technical competition between carpenters.

This new perspective makes the reader's eyes shine.

And because of Lao Shi's writing experience accumulated over age, his delicate writing and those unpopular carpenter skills, readers are deeply immersed in it.

Lao Shi's novel angle made Yang Fan thoughtful, and also reminded him of popular books like "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" and "Notes on Tomb Robbery" a few years ago, covering all ages and many tastes.

Yang Fan thought about it for a long time, and with the inspiration that he could almost grasp, he took the initiative to ask Lao Shi for the first time in the name of asking for advice.

Lao Shi listened to Yang Fan's two words on the phone, did not refuse, and readily agreed to meet.

At nine o'clock in the evening, Yang Fan took the initiative to bring the purchased food to the community where Lao Shi lived.

Lao Shi has written books all his life, but he has not earned too much money, and he still lives in a 60-square-meter old house.

Seeing that Yang Fan was coming, Lao Shi warmly invited him in.

Looking at the simple decoration in Lao Shi's room and those old furniture, Yang Fan couldn't help but feel inexplicably ashamed.

"You're here to discuss your work. Lao Shi looked at Yang Fan's unnatural expression, pointed to the wooden chair next to him and said.

"Yes, I would like to ask you how to compare the skills of carpenters to spelling so wonderfully. Yang Fan sat on the chair and humbly asked.

"Because, before I wrote the book, I studied carpentry for two months. Lao Shi smiled and continued:

"The chair you sit on is one I made. ”

"Huh?" Yang Fan stood up and looked at the chair, and then, looking at Lao Shi in disbelief.

"Author, the material cannot come entirely from imagination, but must come partly from his own personal experience and the experience of the people around him. Lao Shi waved his eyes at Yang Fan, unreservedly explaining his views on writing.

"Why, I think I'm going to win against that kid of Qingfeng? because, I think he's quick-witted, but he's the type of history. He is missing the most important precipitation. ”

"A dynasty, whether real or imaginary, needs a huge amount of manpower and material resources to run the operation of a country. And many online writers always ignore this problem, writing that the protagonist is omnipotent, and one person can change the world. However, often this kind of novel in which one person can change the world will always lack the most important sense of gravity in history. ”

"Sense of heaviness?" Yang Fan's inspiration, which was only one step away from grasping, instantly became much clearer.

"Yes, no matter what the theme, whether it's urban, martial arts, history and science fiction. They all need a soul. ”

"What is the soul? When Yang Fan wanted to continue to ask Lao Shi about this detailed question about the soul, Lao Shi gave an eviction order.

"About the soul of your book, ask yourself. Think about why you wrote this book. Think about why you chose this profession in the first place! Well, I'm tired. ”

Yang Fan listened to this eviction order, put aside the things he bought, bowed respectfully to Lao Shi and left.

Although, Lao Shi did not answer his own questions. However, he answered his own questions in disguise.

After leaving, Yang Fan looked at the time, it was already eleven o'clock in the evening. He found a reclining chair and sat down in the community where Lao Shi lived.

"Soul, reason, original intention?" Yang Fan repeated these three words.

Yang Fan's original intention of writing at the beginning, to be honest, was to make money and become a celebrity who impressed people who looked down on him before. However, in the process of writing, his original intention changed.

became the writer who didn't want to disappoint the readers who supported him along the way.

The original intention of this change is also the original intention of the beginning, who is the original intention?

Yang Fan didn't think about it.

He could only put aside this first question and think about the reason for writing this "Teacher Invincible System".

Obviously, according to the market and the advice given by the system and Lan, he can choose the kind of cool text that fights monsters and upgrades or goes from a poor boy who has nothing to experience the world with hard work or rebirth.

Why did it suddenly change to the subject of this teacher?

Perhaps, this reason is just the reason why I was unwilling to follow the old path of others and let my book become an ordinary routine text.

However, whether it is the reason for writing this book or the original intention, what does it have to do with the soul of the work?

Yang Fan was even more confused.

As Yang Fan kept thinking, time came to one o'clock in the morning in a blink of an eye.

A security guard looked at Yang Fan, who was still sitting on the side, and kindly reminded him to go home.

Yang Fan woke up from his thoughts, thanked the security guard, and looked up at Lao Shi's bedroom.

Lao Shi's bedroom light was still on, and the curtains reflected the shadow of a person who was still struggling to write.

Yang Fan looked at the shadow and the house where poverty did not match Lao Shi's worth.

He sighed and prepared to leave.

The moment he turned around, he remembered Lao Shi's chair.

It was a crudely made but sturdy chair.

There is also a two-month carpentry career in Lao Shi's mouth.

Yang Fan suddenly realized that the answer to the soul of his work may have to be personally involved to figure it out.

He bowed deeply again to the dimly lit room.
