Chapter 9 It's so boring to just write fanfiction

After dinner.

Su Xi began to teach Cui Geng to write novels.

In the simulated college entrance examination at the end of the month, Cui Geng, after some hard work, got the first place again. After successfully consolidating his "privileges", he could naturally start learning to write novels with peace of mind.

This will open the door to a new world for him.

Moreover, it was opened up by a top writer in the online literature circle for him, which is not an opportunity that anyone can have.

Although creating is very talented, talent is the basis for everything, no matter what, having a top boss personally guides it will definitely allow Cui Geng to get started as quickly as possible and avoid misunderstandings in many creative fields.

As the saying goes: The master leads the door and practice depends on the individual.

What Cui Geng needs is a person with sufficient successful experience to lead himself in the game. Whether he can make a name for himself in this circle depends on his own efforts.

"Before teaching you to write a novel, I want to ask you a few questions."

Su Xi looked at him and asked seriously: "Fiction creation is basically based on interest, and then it will enter the so-called commercial creation stage. Do you want to write a book you like or a commercial book? These are two different directions."

Regarding whether to try commercial creation and whether to engage in the online creation industry... she will not give any advice.

As an adult, everyone must be responsible for their own choices. What she can do is to try to use her own experience to help the other party.

"I don't think this should make any difference."

Cui Geng thought for a few seconds and said, "If there are differences, there are only two differences. One is aesthetics, more self-centered, private aesthetics, and the aesthetics that conform to the public readers. The other difference is the 'purpose' of the two. Of course, I think the purpose is actually linked to the former..."

"It can be understood this way."

Su Xi thought for a while and nodded.

The gap between ordinary authors and top authors, writing experience and writing talent are one aspect, and the aesthetic ability of commercial literature, the consumer market is also an important factor.

With enough experience and talent, you can guarantee to write a high-quality book.

But if you want to write a top-notch popular article, you must have to lack a strong enough aesthetic talent, which can also be understood as: commercial sense.

“I want to try commercial creation.”

Cui Geng said slowly: "If I just want to be interested in writing, then with my accumulation of reading novels over the years, I can do it myself, and there is no need to ask someone to teach me... Moreover, in the online literature circle, purely interested in writing is just a reason to comfort myself when I have not achieved results. The words I have worked hard to type have taken a lot of time and energy. Who doesn't want to convert them into royalties?"

“It makes sense.”

Su Xi nodded.

If you are just interested in writing, then you can write whatever you like, and there is no need to care about other things.

For example, how many words are written, whether you can sign a contract, whether readers like to watch such plots... There is actually no need to think about these, because this kind of creation method similar to writing a diary is very personal.

There is no need for others to teach you, and you don’t need to be affirmed or denied by others. Because when you write a novel with the mentality of interest in writing, you will subconsciously feel that you are writing the most perfect, and you will feel that others denying you because you don’t understand the profound meaning of your novel. Subconsciously, you will have a mentality of resistance...

"I want to try to write a novel, and of course my initial goal was not the royalty."

Cui Geng said: "I want to write about the King of Rot... No, the fan of Xifeng's book "The Resurrection of Immortality: The Era of All Cultivation of Immortality" is essentially to get the recognition of other readers of this book. It is best to get the recognition of the author himself. If I want to get their recognition, then I must write a plot that everyone will like, and will inevitably carry out commercial creations. In this process, it is inevitable to generate royalties."

"I can understand your thoughts and intentions."

Su Xi nodded and suddenly asked another question: "Then what are you planning to 'write novels'? Do you just want to write a fantasy book "The Resurrection of Fairy Aura"? Or do you want to use this as a springboard to enter the online literature circle?"

"Well……"

Cui Geng was stunned: "Is there any difference?"

Aren't it all commercial creations?

"The difference is very big, it's about how I lay the foundation for you."

Su Xi said seriously: "If you just want to write the fantasy of "The Resurrection of Fairy", then I will first analyze the writing style and plot of the book with you and set the design ideas. This can help you better master the skills of writing fantasy, and thus write a fantasy that both have your own characteristics and can be accepted by the original readers of "The Resurrection of Fairy"...

And if you want to use "The Resurrection of Fairy Aura" as a springboard and use it as a practice work, and then enter the online literature circle and become a professional author, then you will not be able to only write the fan of this book in your life. You will try more subjects, plots, styles, settings... And if that's the case, then the process of forging the foundation in the early stages of your entry is very important, and it may be related to your future limit."

“…”

Cui Geng thought for a while and asked, "For the second type, why will the early process of forging the foundation affect the upper limit of the future?"

"Which stage do you think a person learns the fastest in his life?"

Su Xi did not answer the question.

"Infant, elementary school, junior high school, high school... the later, the slower the learning speed, because the memory capacity of the human brain has limits. Moreover, the older the age and more things you experience, the more confused the thinking, the more difficult it is to focus, and the slower the learning speed will be."

Cui Geng said.

"Newcomers who have just entered the industry are actually equivalent to infancy, or rather, the process from infancy to adulthood."

Su Xi said slowly: "Many newcomers are eager to find results when they enter the industry, so they may ignore the problem of forging the foundation. They may not think there is anything in the short term. But when they have certain achievements and want to advance to a higher level, they have to pay for their previous negligence. They need to work ten times or hundreds of times to make up for the shortcomings of the newcomer period."

Cui Geng understood.

"So, what do you think?"

Su Xi looked at him and asked seriously: "I'll tell me if I think about it and tell me not to rush to make a decision, because the time required for the two in the early stage is different, just like Western medicine and Chinese medicine. The former is quick to achieve, while the latter... It often takes a while. During this period, you may be able to do more important things, and there is also... Judging from the probability of newcomers entering the industry, you are likely to not engage in the online literature industry in the future."

The elimination rate in the online literature industry is absolutely terrible.

Ten thousand newcomers who have just entered the industry may not be able to become a full-time writer in the end.

In Su Xi's opinion, Cui Geng is a genius who is very good at learning anything. He has too many careers to choose from in the future. He may not take it seriously in the small online literature circle.

“I choose…the latter.”

Cui Geng made a decision without thinking for a long time: "What's the point of just writing a fantasy book "The Resurrection of Fairy"? If I spend a lot of time and energy studying just to write a fantasy book, the cost-effectiveness is too low... I think I should be a creative person. Even if I don't work in this industry in the future, I will likely contribute to the online literature circle."

“Besides…”

Cui Geng paused and continued: "The book "The Resurrection of Fairy Qi" by Xifeng is indeed quite good. Looking at the entire online literature circle, it can be regarded as a masterpiece that is difficult to replicate. If it is just written about fancies, it should be difficult to reach the height of Xifeng."

"You still want to reach the height of the west wind?"

Su Xi was stunned, not expecting that the other party's "ambition" was so great.

As the West Wind, Su Xi knows better than anyone else how difficult and lucky it is to have what she has achieved today.

She is the talented author.

But good talent does not mean that you can easily write magical works.

Her efforts in the field of creation are not inferior to any author who "touches the entire industry". She is just that she disdains to take the initiative to promote and likes to be low-key and introverted.

If you do it again, Su Xi feels that she may not choose to enter the online literature circle.
