Chapter 1163 Falling into a quagmire
The heavy snow like goose feathers fluttered down, laying the courtyard of the Siheyuan a thick layer, with pavilions, rockery and even small bamboo forests covered with white areas.
Zhang Chu stood at the window of the study, holding an ice cream in his hand and started to eat it. Northerners were comfortable.
The winters in the south are all shivering cold, so how dare you eat popsicles and ice cream!
The floor heating in the house continuously transported warmth. He even felt a little hot and couldn't help but push the window open a small gap to let fresh air blow in.
In the yard, a series of plum blossom footprints are placed in the snow.
The dark dumpling had already seen snow last year, but this year it was still as happy as a fat man of eighteen pounds. He actually tried to catch the falling snowflakes, and his hair was wet.
Matcha can have fun alone, as if tireless.
After Zhang Chu finished eating the ice cream, he returned to the computer to sit down. No little guy came to disturb him now, and he just took the initiative to write down the contents behind!
The arrangements for the holidays are very simple now. I write "What's in the Ming Dynasty" in the morning and "Butterfly Effect" in the afternoon and evening. Of course, I may go to read books, TV movies, fitness, etc. in the middle.
Writing books is serious, but not the whole of life.
Although many readers speculated that he might be writing a new book, Wei Bo still serializes "What Things in the Ming Dynasty" every day, and it doesn't seem like there is a new book.
However, the attraction of historical books is limited after all. At the beginning, it’s okay to watch the fun, but it may be a bit tormenting to log in every day to see some not-so-known historical figures and events!
In the final analysis, there are not many modern young people who like history. Even in online novels, the main people who read history are Lao Bai, while not many novices.
Zhang Chu's reader group has readers of all types. When "What Things in the Ming Dynasty" was first released, it could meet the needs of most of them, but after several months of serialization, some people have begun to abandon books one after another.
Even if it was him, he would be powerless in the face of this situation!
It is not whether the writing is well written, but whether the readers are tired.
The content of millions of words is a bit long, and there is no unified protagonist in the whole story. The story line is based on time and dynasty development.
This is also what Zhang Chu is worried about. The story is too short and difficult to explain clearly. If it is too long, many people will not want to read it.
"The Da Vinci Code" has only more than 200,000 words, and the book was completed before it could be put on the shelves in an online novel.
You should know that this number of words is already considered a novel in physical books!
But compared with online novels, it is really a younger brother.
Don't look at him now, he writes two books at the same time.
But maybe "Butterfly Effect" has been written and launched, and "What Things in the Ming Dynasty" is still being serialized.
If you don’t write a physical book for a day or two or two weeks, it’s completely fine. Anyway, no readers will see half of it and ask for a manuscript.
The author of the serialization is a bit hard and has to be updated every day. There is no rest on weekends and national statutory holidays unless there is a manuscript!
After Zhang Chu wrote a long paragraph of text, he began to check the typos and the expressions, hoping that there would be no principled, fool-like mistakes, and no ambiguity.
Writing novels requires rigor in itself, and history is even more rigorous in rigorous. If every chapter is picked out, what else can be highlighted!
Sometimes you can’t see anything at all when you check it, especially for people who write these things yourself. It’s true that they all look at it at first glance. You can tell what they wrote in the next sentence after reading the previous sentence.
"By the way, should I hire an assistant to specifically look at the direction of online comments and help me find the mistakes?"
Zhang Chu knew that he could not always occupy the resources of Nanhai Publishing Company, and asked the proofreading editor there to help review and proofread.
It is correct to recruit someone to do this kind of thing on Hanlin Culture Media. He silently kept this in his heart and was ready to send a message to Ye Shumei later.
Being a boss just needs to hand over the matter to the employee, and you don’t have to recruit people in person. At most, you can participate in the following interview!
Many Internet masters actually have this kind of action, but they usually take on this job by people close to each other, such as girlfriends or daughter-in-law.
Now Zhang Chu is alone, and the red sleeves are only in his imagination.
Probably because I was thinking smoothly today, I wrote five thousand words in an hour and a half and completed the task more than I could.
But it was still early, so I simply changed the document and started writing "Butterfly Effect"!
I had already written the beginning part before, but now I just need to follow the outline and add specific things to the branches.
Why did the protagonist Evan think of going back to the past?
His life is actually quite good, with both parents and he was admitted to his ideal university. The only reason was his love for Kelly.
In the movie, the director seemed to give Evan a reason, but he did not clearly portray it. How deep and strong is this love to make Evan go back to the past again and again, wanting to change Kelly's life and wanting to be with her all the time!
Therefore, when Zhang Chu was writing, he spent more time on this aspect, depicting Kelly's current miserable situation and the protagonist's performance.
Evan has always loved Kelly, but he never took the initiative to confess his love. But Kelly committed suicide because of her childhood and current life. Evan fell into deep self-blame and vowed to change all this!
I just happened to have this ability, so of course I have to use it to save Kelly.
Life is not like a blackboard, people can easily wipe off those unsatisfactory parts and record other beautiful parts.
Even if God gave Evan a superpower that could change history, he had to be forced to accept the more unsatisfactory consequences that would have brought him, such as losing a part he thought was beautiful.
"Butterfly Effect" is a science fiction suspense, but it is actually a love novel!
As readers have commented, Zhang Chu has never been very good at writing about love elements, and there are few particularly outstanding heroines, except for "Su Shen Ji".
However, in "Su Shen Ji", Gu Shi Zi, Yu Shi Mei and others are all the contributions of the wild fox under the tree. Zhang Chu is essentially a novice in love and does not have so much abundant feelings.
The writing was originally very smooth, but at this time it seemed like he was trapped in a quagmire, making him struggle particularly.
When writing about childhood, we should show the comparison between adults and childishness, especially as a foreign child, he must not substitute it with his childhood thinking, otherwise he would be a Chinese wearing white skin.
