Going round and round, before I know it, it will be two years since I wrote it in just over twenty days. I can’t say the results are great, but ten thousand dollars a month is not a big problem. Thank you to my brothers for your continued support.
Now I am actually working full-time. It was in August 2021. I was in Hangzhou at the time, and I was shocked to hear that my mother had sudden high blood pressure, which made me deeply panic and uneasy. After some consideration, I returned to Chaoyang City, a first-tier city in LN Province, and never left again.
My brother was born in 1996 and is twenty-eight years old this year. I once sold houses in Lianjia and Deyou, spent 20,000 yuan on training in Dalian, and worked as a programmer, doing java back-end development. I worked in a foreign-funded company whose boss was granted permanent residence in Japan by a Chinese. An e-commerce website. Then I went to Hangzhou and worked as a programmer for a short time. But at that time, because I had long been used to spending money, and because I wanted to get rich suddenly, I had a debt of nearly 200,000 yuan.
My brother's programmer skills were not proficient, and he didn't make enough money. Then he worked in some sales jobs one after another, such as general health, bearings, and insurance. Sales is a job that requires accumulation, talent, and diligence. My brother was very bad at it, so he later opened an online car-hailing service in Hangzhou to pay off his debts.
Later, because I liked it, I would pick it up while the online car-hailing service was charging, and there was nothing to read, so I came up with the idea of writing it myself.
Hey, it’s done, and the first month’s manuscript fee is 12,000.
At that time, I didn’t want to write. Because of the initial copy of Medicine God, Liu Sihui’s problems, and Infernal Affairs being too bloody, the readers were a bit autistic. I thought I was strong, but I couldn't bear it. I caught a cold in the middle of summer. Here we have to lament how ruthless those who have endured online violence are. I didn’t even get the slightest hint of it, and they only attacked the protagonist.
At that time, it was the time to write about Chinese partners and the flying chicken feathers. I didn’t want to write about it for a while. But then I paid the royalties and went through a period of self-comfort, and then I persevered. Of course, it's mainly because of the royalties...
This job is very good, no one is supervising me, I can sleep until I wake up naturally, and I can stay with my mother at home, which is very comfortable. After nearly two years, the money owed before will soon be paid off. Just next month, there will be a little more than 10,000 left.
So it’s time to think about it for the future.
My brother did go to a crappy junior college and studied accounting, but he never attended the class and couldn't do this thing. Up to now, I have almost forgotten the programming I spent 20,000 yuan on. I have no skills, no job skills, no hands, and I can’t do physical work. I can only go to a big city to do sales.
So for now, it has become a must to continue to think about writing skills and consider original issues.
Because this thing is really profitable. Even if the original version fails in the future, if you try your best to win by the number of updates, you can still make three to five thousand to seven thousand. This is enough to make a living in my brother's hometown. Besides, who knows when I will feel it, write a book and it will be a hit, and I will earn money for retirement. You should dream, you still have to dream.
To say this is not to sell misfortunes, but to write about the antecedents.
Therefore, before "The Pretender", it was already decided that we would use this theme, break away from the original plot, try to write a story of our own, and exercise our long-term writing skills. Although my writing is average so far, I still have to practice this thing, and I won’t be able to write it without practice.
The most intuitive thing is to look at the latest chapter of my brother. Compared with the first chapter of the original Medicine God, the improvement in level is visible to the naked eye. At that time, I didn't have that much nonsense to say, and my writing was dry. It is a running account and written in an outline style, and readers who have read it for the first time still have a few words to say.
If you write it again from beginning to end according to your current level, your score will actually be much higher than now. But people cannot be complacent and must have a clear understanding of themselves.
My brother's level is actually very average. I don’t have any systematic writing ability, just a feeling based on the accumulation of more than three million words. There are big and big deficiencies in the creation of characters, control of plot, smoothness of writing, etc.
Because my brother wrote Zhutianwuwu, each story is a unit, and the longest one only has more than 200,000 words. If things go on like this, this is basically the limit of my ability. Even if I write further and open a new copy, there will be no breakthrough.
So this is an attempt, try to be as detailed as possible. About 270,000 have been written so far, and the plan is to finish it in 2049. I don’t know how many more I will write.
Because of the impact of force majeure, the specifics are still unknown. Another point is the issue of grades. If it drops significantly and affects making money, then don’t say anything and finish it quickly.
At present, the reading limit is around 1,000, which is still possible. Thank you for your support.
If it is indeed banned due to unavoidable reasons, I will finish writing it on the official account, and this will definitely be completed.
Let me talk about "Crossing Guandong" here. It's not that I don't want to write it, it's because I can no longer write it. I can no longer post my official account, it’s so emptiness...
Therefore, for pretenders, it is difficult to be happy in this era. I'm not good enough, I don't know enough, and I can't achieve the level of detail in The Bourne Shadows and my spy years. But the result is definitely the same, just a lot of busy work and nothing accomplished. It's just that during that period, when I wrote such a story, what the elder brothers focused on was the plot of the struggle.
In addition, I am still concerned that this is the infinite world, and it cannot be written in detail, so I deliberately controlled the length. Instead of using time to narrate, events are used to advance.
What happened has happened and we can't change it. My younger brothers and elder brothers all have feelings of great righteousness for their family, country and nation, and dare not forget history, but the reality cannot be written, and writing it down is another way of spiritual victory.
So what I, my brother, and my elder brothers should do more is live a good life and work hard. If you are strong, the country will be strong. As the saying goes, if the people have faith, the country will have strength. This is not good, that is not good. We still live on this land and drink water from the same three rivers. If you think it's not good, try to change it.
Even people like you and me are ordinary people who do not hold great power and do not have a lot of money. But when you see rubbish on the roadside, pick up rubbish, don’t throw cigarette butts around, drink without making noise, keep fit, play every role well, don’t be coquettish, clingy, or look down on people who are inferior to you, restrain some of the base diseases of human nature, and magnify When it comes to the 1.4 billion people, that is also the contribution of the boss.
I never give up just because others praise or scold me. If that were the case, this book wouldn't have been written here, and it would have been finished long ago. He won't be a literary youth, because he doesn't have that level, let alone that kind of character.
In addition, regarding my thoughts on working full-time, everyone has a disease, and I have it too. No one urged me to do it, I just relied on my own consciousness, and in fact, I didn’t have much diligence. In addition, the famine is about to end, so there is some slack. Playing with my mobile phone for a while, smoking a cigarette for a while, chatting with friends for a while and so on. It’s not much different from the state of a child’s homework... I still go to bed very late every day, and write very hard during the day.
So I don’t write much, but I also write a lot, five, six, seven thousand, stable output, which is better than long-term.
Above, thank you brothers for your continued support.
Especially the eldest brother who has been with my brother for two years, give me a kiss!
