Volume 4 Summary
Ahem, the old rules, summarize after each volume and take a day off.
First of all, what makes me most relieved when I write is that the ending of each volume today is better than every book in the past, which is also the direction of this book's efforts.
For example, when leaving Luocheng, everyone basically had a complete and wonderful explanation, whether it was a big or a small role, whether it was a master Yao Qimen, the prince Zhu Yunxi, the senior brothers She Dengke, Liu Quxing, and Hu Junxian, Hu Sanye, and the shopkeeper.
Not as hasty as it used to be.
I treat each roll as a tightrope. The last three steps are always the most difficult to walk. At this time, the energy and endurance have reached the limit, and the most exciting performance has ended, so I always want to finish the last three steps as soon as possible so that I can breathe a sigh of relief.
As it turns out, when thinking about this, the last three steps are often not good.
I haven't left before.
When I was opening the book, the biggest goal I set for myself was to learn how to finish it patiently. It was not only the ending of the whole book, but also the ending of each volume.
If it were in the past, I would definitely skip all the process of entering the palace, and would let Liu Quxing and She Dengke go their own way and forget them from now on.
But this time, no, when I slow down, I will find more details to interpret, I am more immersed in this story, carefully examining each character, each of them will have their own echoes.
It's a really gratifying progress...
Secondly, when writing the first sequence, one of the biggest regrets was that I did not write the 178 barrier well. Although I used a lot of pen and ink to 178 barriers, more of it was Ren Xiaosu's personal show.
At that time, I had no writing experience (of course I am still a rookie now). At that time, I didn’t think about what the persistence, contradictions, and regrets were the group of people who were 178 Barriers.
They are like the slightly empty label characters in my work, which makes me feel a little sorry for them.
This time, although I used less ink, I think I really stood with the Guyuan Bianjun and felt their joys and regrets.
It's really gratifying.
Again, the writing style I tried this time again, once again, I added skills and subtracted expressions, learned to leave blank space, and added more imagination space for book friends. Although I was a little uncomfortable, I gradually liked the writing style more.
In the past, I would say everything I wanted to say, for example, to tell everyone bluntly that after living in passion, I will definitely return to trivial and dullness. When the heroes of the border town return to the core of power, they may be nothing. No one cares about your contributions, and your glory is not as good as the power in their hands.
Returning to real life, if you are now selected as the "No. 1 in the World in Wulin", you may have to first check whether you have a senior professional title, a deputy senior professional title, a master's degree, which democratic faction you are, and who your father is.
No one cares whether your force is the most powerful. This is the Chinese horror version of the world.
This time, I carefully wrote down the order of the team when I entered the city, and used such small things to express them obscurely, and no longer narrate them in a long and long way.
No matter what you feel after reading it, I feel that this writing is separated from the empty narrative and makes me feel more comfortable.
For example, I might have put the difference between the "outer city" and "inner city" in the capital in the past, telling everyone that the inner city only has officials and privileged classes, and only a few people with registered household registration in the inner city, so I will tell everyone this class distinction in narrative way. But this time I patiently wrote about the coarse cloth clothes and passion of the people in the outer city, the admiration and yearning for military merits in the border town, and the Luosha shirt and jacket of the official lady in the inner city, and the glamorous appearance, family background, and official positions.
Some book friends can see the comparison, but some book friends don’t care, but it doesn’t matter and does not affect reading. For myself, I feel that I have made some progress.
Then I also restrain myself from writing some plots that are burned for the sake of burning and the language of middle school to make it simpler. It also reduces the plot that is fun for the sake of making it more logical.
The writing style is more restrained than before, and of course there are still many things that are not done well, so keep working hard.
Again, I also saw a book friend commenting that this book is for film and television.
There is no need to argue with this comment. I do use the way of writing film and television. Before writing, I saw an interview with a senior. He said that he had become a screenwriter in the middle of his career after writing. So when writing many plots, he was already writing completely with the on-site dispatch thinking, which made the plot more accurate, and looked at the world from the perspective of characters, rather than using the author's own language to introduce it flatly.
So when I write this time, I will first fully imagine the scenes and details of the characters, and make the story as good as possible with some movie-level picture design. This is a relatively laborious thing. It is really difficult to design pictures... I am still exploring slowly...
But I said it was not entirely for film and television, because I think it was a way of writing close to the essence of "story". Some book friends criticized "I wrote an online article and even wrote these messy things." I humbly accepted everyone's criticism, but the original intention of my writing was actually to write about the ups and downs of characters and stories, including happiness, regrets, firmness, betrayal, gathering and separation.
I think it's okay if you just go all the way up and compete for the world. If you're happy, it's all over. I like to watch this. I've basically watched this kind of thing in the past. I'm very happy after reading it. When writing about the naming technique of night, the tone is the same.
But the original intention of this book is different. It is a tortuous story of love, hate and separation. It wants to write something related to "hero". The inner minister says that using fame and fortune as a knife can kill nine points of chivalrous spirit in the world. The overall story of this book is also a last point that cannot be eliminated.
I want to write a lot, so it will be longer than the past stories. Because it has higher requirements, I can only write slowly (of course, it will also be as fast as possible). So the current plot, whether it is a sworn or a reunion, has just begun for me. They are the starting point of the story, not the end point.
I don't want to spoil the story, it's better to read it little by little.
In this story where I claim to be true, love, hate, love, love, and everyone is not that simple. I wrote a biography for each of them, with past and future, ideals and shortcomings.
I really look forward to writing them out quickly, but I am worried that I will write them incorrectly and sloppyly.
Thank you to every book friend who has been able to persevere until now, thank you for your tolerance and accept your criticism. I sincerely apologize to everyone for my updates again. In the past, I would think naively that as long as I didn’t ask for monthly tickets, I would not owe anyone, but gradually I found that I was wrong. As long as the story begins, I have a responsibility on my shoulders.
Sorry again, I'm actually trying to update more (although, well, you may not feel it...).
Finally, judging from my physical condition, it is likely to be the last super-length episode, so I still hope to walk more steadily and have fewer regrets. Although my abilities are limited, I should try my best to do the best I can.
Chapter completed!
