Chapter 340: The Door
"Inspirational book?" Seeing that Yang Fan's novel was spread wildly in the education circle and teacher circle and such a high evaluation in the industry, Mr. Ma showed a sarcastic smile and continued:
"Chai, rice, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar tea, always just chai, rice, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar tea!"
Hearing Mr. Ma's words, Qili on the side was a little puzzled.
Because in her eyes, Yang Fan's book already has such a high starting point, this championship should be able to be captured, not an ordinary evaluation of firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea in Mr. Ma's mouth.
Perhaps seeing Qili's question, the bald editor-in-chief on the side helped Mr. Ma explain.
"Why is the online world more attractive than reality? The answer is actually very simple, because they have infinite imagination and freedom not to be labeled, and the same is true of online articles. ”
"Yang Fan's book has been labeled as an inspirational book. He has lost the most precious freedom and imagination, and he can only write according to ordinary inspirational novels. In the face of constraints, he has nothing to fear. ”
Listening to the explanation of the bald editor-in-chief, Qili nodded as if she didn't understand. She sighed regretfully.
I don't know if it's for Yang Fan's book, or for the so-called constraints.
While sighing beautifully, Yang Fan at this time also felt a headache.
Today's Yang Fan is becoming more and more mature, and he can also see the doors of some online articles alone. He understood the teacher's kindness very well and let him be restrained.
This constraint made him feel that there was an extra door in front of him out of thin air, and that door was a blocked door, a door that he couldn't push open no matter how hard he tried.
This door was like a pair of eyes, so Yang Fan had to revise the outline.
The hazy and beautiful early love set in the past has been diluted, and the bad competition between teachers that he thinks about has to be cut down. And the biggest headache is that the villains who were originally set have to be reset.
He had to do it because his audience had changed from ordinary netizens to discerning educators and parents.
In their eyes, a good book must not have too many negative things.
This kind of pressure kept Yang Fan awake all night, and he thought of many ways to connect the replaced and deleted plots and characters.
However, the more coherent he became, the more he found that the original passionate novel slowly became dull.
In the same way, the door began to grow larger and larger, and he slowly lost sight of the scenery behind the door.
In his despair, a sudden phone call woke him up from despair.
He looked at the phone, and there was a slight fluctuation in his heart, that phone was Lan who had not been in contact for a long time.
In fact, the price of making Yang Fan mature faster than others is loneliness.
Unconsciously, Yang Fan has slowly become accustomed to writing books alone, thinking alone, and dealing with tricky things that he didn't dare to think about before.
This terrible habit also made Yang Fan ignore a lot of the feelings around him, such as love and some friendships.
It's like today's young people are used to using busy work as an excuse not to go home often.
Cruel but realistic.
Yang Fan looked at the call, hesitated for a while, and answered.
There was a familiar voice on the phone for half a month, which made Yang Fan in a trance.
"I've read the news about your book, are you hitting a bottleneck now?" Lan asked cautiously after the greetings.
This cautious tone made Yang Fan feel bitter in his heart, thinking back to the domineering little Lori who had just come to his house, and then listening to Lan who was now even cautious about talking to himself. This contrast reminded him of his own changes and indifference.
"Yes, we've hit a bottleneck. Yang Fan hesitated for a while and decided to confess, he continued with a smile on the phone: "The current pressure makes me breathless, I feel like a door, and I can't see the road ahead." ”
"Is it because those who are expecting you are putting too much pressure on you?" Lan heard Yang Fan's confession, and her heart became inexplicably happy, and then, she regained her old-fashioned attitude and asked.
"Not only was there too many people looking forward to it, but I was starting to fear failure. Yang Fan listened to Lan's tone, returned to the state of the confused writer at the beginning, and confided in her as always.
"Afraid of failure?"
"Well, I don't want to lose this game and I don't want to disappoint those who were expecting this book. However, these two contradict each other. A successful online article must have ups and downs. And it is too full of ups and downs but it can't satisfy the parents and teachers who come to visit. ”
"Why should you satisfy everyone? Shouldn't you be satisfied yourself? Although the taboo of online articles is self-congratulation. But, isn't this work of yours written for yourself?" Lan heard Yang Fan's doubts, and she smiled and continued:
"A writer writes a book, which is a process of continuous exploration and self-transcendence. It's like you got the system, but you still chose the path of self-creation in a down-to-earth way. You didn't choose to be a copyist like others, the king of routines. ”
"Since you make this choice, it is bound to be a lot of tribulation and stress. Failure is hard to avoid to be honest. But don't forget, there's nothing 100 percent successful in the world, and do you give up on your progress because you think you're going to fail?"
"No, it won't. ”
"Isn't that enough? Since there is a door blocking in front of you, if you can't push it open, go and break the door! Remember a saying circulating in the online literary circles: A writer's career has only a starting point, not an end!"
"There is only a starting point, no end?" Yang Fan pondered this sentence repeatedly.
After a long time, Yang Fan replied vigorously to Lan on the other end of the phone: "I understand." ”
After saying this, Yang Fan reluctantly hung up the phone.
Because time was short, he had to hurry up and break down the door in front of him, because he had to run hard until he was exhausted!
While Yang Fan was thinking about how to break down the door, the writers of the first network had a small party.
As a hamburger that was supposed to be the leader, because he has been consistently in the top three, he was robbed of the leadership of the team by Lanyue.
At this time, Lan Yue was pointing fingers at the hamburger work and making impolite suggestions.
His suggestion was harsh, but his suggestion made the hamburger shine.
Because, Lanyue's suggestions are all ordinary and extraordinary routines, which are adapted to his books and can raise the quality of his books to a higher level.
He abandoned the pride of a great god writer in this way, and asked Lanyue to teach a few more tricks in a low voice, but Lanyue only taught the combination of ordinary and extraordinary routines and did not give other suggestions.
Because Lan Yue has never looked down on hamburgers since he wrote the book, in his eyes, this so-called great god writer is just a stepping stone for himself.
He just wanted to make this stepping stone more comfortable to step on!
