Forty-two, time and inspiration
Of course, there is water source for the Power River. After all, it is 200,000 yuan, not 20 yuan, nor 200 yuan. Like my father, Jiang Youzhi, gets up earlier than a chicken every day, sleeps later than a dog, eats chalk dust while standing, and is angry with students while sitting. It only costs tens of thousands of yuan a year! It is a good thing that can earn 200,000 yuan in 40 days, who is not moved?
You don’t make a bastard if you have money!
But it is not easy to make this extra money! You have to have time first. Even in the exam room, it takes one hour to write an 800-word essay full of routines. Forty days? Eighty thousand words? It is equivalent to writing 2.5 essays after finishing everything every day, and it takes more than a month to write. Just thinking about it makes me feel that I can’t live forever.
Secondly, there must be inspiration. Although Peng Min did not ask for the quality requirements of the manuscript, it was to be officially published and traveled nationwide. After all, he was the first prize winner of the New Concept Composition Competition. He could not spend every article on vulgar routines such as helping the old lady cross the road and helping Uncle Wang do good deeds, right? If this is the case, it would be like pushing the mill with his bare butt - it would be embarrassing to turn around in circles!
However, the inspiration comes from life. As for Jiang Shuiyuan’s experience over the past ten years, except for the last time I went back to my hometown and went to the mountain alone to meet the Shuibei Empress, the rest of the days were dull. But that most thrilling experience was "not worthy of being told by outsiders". How can Jiang Shuiyuan not worry about the troubles?
In fact, this is also a common problem for most young writers. They do not have enough life accumulation, but have a strong desire to express themselves. In addition to complaining without any illness and writing about love, hate and xenophobia on campus, they can only learn from their predecessors or make up for the fiction, so there are "Every morning, I wake up from a 50,000 square meter bed and face more than 200 beautiful maids" and "The sun is shining, I frowned and put the 60 million skirt that my godfather gave me on my body, and sat on the private plane awkwardly."
Because of the above two reasons, Jiang Shuiyuan did not directly agree to Peng Min's request for a draft - of course, he did not directly refuse - but since the lunch in Fanlou that day, he has been thinking about how to write these 80,000 words.
On the plane back, Pu Xiaoxiang saw Jiang Shuiyuan holding his chin and pondering, and couldn't help asking, "Are you thinking about how to write those 80,000 words?"
"Well," Jiang Shuiyuan did not hide it, "Do you have any good suggestions?"
Pu Xiaoxiang pondered for a moment and said, "I can't say anything about suggestions. After all, I know nothing about literature and I write my own composition in a mess. Fortunately, I have never eaten pork and have always seen pigs running. I can help you beat the edge drums. There should be no problem with giving ideas. There are three stakes for a fence, and three heroes will help you! If you want me, you have to determine what style you plan to write first."
"Text style? Of course, it must be a novel. When there is a plot, you can write a plot when there is a plot, and when there is no plot, it can be done with water. The task is relatively easy to complete. Otherwise, like poetry and prose, when can you get enough 80,000 words?"
"Fiction? Novella? or short story?"
"Of course, it's a long one, but I haven't written a long one with more than 80,000 words before. I don't know if I can control it. If it really doesn't work, write it into two novellas!"
"Okay, after you have determined the style, let's start thinking about what topic it is. What topic do you plan to write about? History? Campus? Or fantasy?"
Jiang Shuiyuan thought carefully for a moment and replied cautiously: "It's better to write historical subjects? After all, I have read a lot of history books and have a more thorough understanding of historical materials. It should be easier to write them. Moreover, the history span is large and the plot is rich. It's easy to get 80,000 words!"
Pu Xiaoxiang nodded: "For you, it is indeed easier to write history. But my advice is that it is best not to write history!"
Jiang Shuiyuan said: "Why?"
"There are many reasons. For example, if you have a good grasp of historical materials, you can easily get stuck in the historical facts themselves and turn the novel into something similar to Cai Dongfan's "Popular Romance of the Years", thus losing the storyline and fun of the novel. For example, Jinyi Clothing positioned the readership of this book as young female customers. Do you think they will be interested in historical novels? Also, Jinyi Clothing plans to match photos of you wearing spring clothes. Do you think historical novels are matched with these photos?"
"You're very reasonable!" Jiang Shuiyuan was not sure about the chess, so he didn't argue: "Then what topic do you think is better?"
"Of course it is a romance novel with campus themes! The so-called 'Male Jin Yong, Female Qiong Yao, Male No, No, Female No, Female No, Female No, Female No, Female No, Female No, Female No, Female No, Female No, Female No, Female No, Female No, Female No, Female No, Female No, Female No, Female No, Female No, Female No, Female No, Female No, Female No, Female No, Female No, Female No, Female No, Female No, Female No, Female No, Female No, Female No, Female No, Female No, Female No, Female No, Female No, Female No, Female No, Female No, Female No, Female No, Female No, Female No
"But I have never written romance novels, and I have never even talked about love. I'm afraid I can't handle such a difficult subject!"
"Look at what you said! You have to have a relationship when writing romance novels? Wouldn't those who write historical novels have to line up to wait for the car to collide in order to experience time travel? Those who write urban novels have to be struck by lightning on rainstorms to get superpowers?" Pu Xiaoxiang retorted with a verbal remark, "But if you want to learn from those writers and experience life, I can feel wronged for a few days, and have a good conversation with you about your ideals and a little life."
"Uh...I think the knowledge in the book is rich enough, and there should be no need to learn from life."
"Zhu Xi said it well. He is always shallow in his knowledge. He must practice it! You really don't want to try it? It's okay to talk to Cai Xiaojia, Zhang Mingyue and the others. If you write, 'Justin Bieber has been chasing me for a long time, but I think his annual income is only 600 million, and I have ignored him. Who knew that he was so obsessed with him? Such Mary Suwen, Lei has been to the audience across the country, don't blame me for not reminding you!"
Jiang Shuiyuan couldn't help but get goosebumps: "Don't worry, even if I beat me to death, I wouldn't write that kind of Mary Sue. Because before thunder fell on others, I must have been disgusted! As for whether there is any mistake, at most, after writing it, please ask you to take a piece of cake and Wu Zichen and the others to check it. Is this okay?"
Ura Xiaoxiang said this, making more jokes than real, so she did not stubbornly say it, but continued the previous topic: "Also, I think you'd better write the campus theme of Ni Hong. According to my experience, it's best to stay away from your humble and vulgar living environment and build a beautiful and illusory story background, which will make it easier to arouse women's beautiful imagination. Ni Hong is a good choice. In particular, Yu Horita also agreed that as long as you write it well, he will help you translate it into Japanese in Ni Hong!"
"I will seriously consider your suggestions!"
According to Pu Xiaoxiang's friendly reminder, Jiang Shuiyuan quickly conceived a good story in his mind. When he got off the plane and returned home, he turned on the computer and started writing:
It was snowing, just as Mr. Fujii finished his speech.
"For this reason, thank you for coming. I'm sure I'll be very happy if I know you under the Spring."
