Regarding issues such as the translation accent of the text is no longer offensive, the character will speak some modern buzzwords, and the character's speaking habits are no longer "translation film style"... I would like to explain them in a unified manner.
I feel that when writing articles with this kind of foreign cultural background, we can no longer pursue the feeling of translated films in the 1990s.
It is true that a certain translation accent can add tone to the article, but on the other hand, this weird way of speaking makes it difficult to describe people vividly - it will lead to facial expressions and a lack of true feelings.
Therefore, I deliberately find a balance between "translated accent" and "normal Chinese speaking style".
For example, Aaliya calls "Brother" from time to time, such as Moonlight's "Versailles" complaint.
It is indeed not that "translated film" style, nor does it match the way the characters spoke at that time, but the language is much more lively and interesting.
While I was writing, I seemed to be able to see Aaliya speaking vividly...
In this way, it is much more lively and interesting than simply pursuing a pure translation accent.
Lively characters and interesting dialogue, I think this is an important aspect of the story's appeal.
Therefore, characters and dialogues will still be described in this balanced way in the future.
There is another thing, I don’t know where to start.
Since the serialization started, I have seen many messages from readers.
Most of the messages were friendly and even heart-warming. Although I may not have responded, I received them all silently.
There is also another aspect of comments, which are the various opinions of some readers after having a certain reading experience.
"Why do you write it like this?"
"Have you been saving my sister for the past two hundred chapters?"
"I don't understand why the author wants to arrange for Sean to be temporarily defeated..."
"Won't God notice what he's doing? Is this considered a form of wisdom..."
Some of the comments made no sense, and some really made me reflect.
However, there are not many messages that can really arouse reflection.
After reading so many comments, if I were asked to paint a portrait of "that small group" of readers, I can only say that they are really all "minefields"...
It won’t work this way, it won’t work that way, it won’t work if there are more women, it won’t stop domestic violence, it won’t work if the protagonist doesn’t win temporarily, it won’t work if the protagonist is weak in the early stage, it won’t work if the protagonist challenges the strong and wins, it won’t work if the protagonist earns more after the mission...
This resulted in an inexplicable new mode in my writing: doubt mode.
To illustrate, the mental process of writing is...
Uh... can you write it like this? Is it Lei who arranged it like that?
Have I violated the "taboo" of the "Internet literary world" again?
In addition to "can't have too many female characters" and "can't lose face with the protagonist", what other "military rules for online writing" should I add to my notebook?
In order to make the plot interesting, I made the drunken Catherine act boldly, made Olivia misunderstand and make an intimate move, and made the family have a slightly embarrassing, very heart-pounding, and quite comic atmosphere...
Will such a plot be another thunder?
Not sure.
A writer who has no sense of security because he received too many comments from readers appears on the page.
Ever since, I gradually changed from an "author" to a "minesweeper".
My pen turned into a minesweeper. I didn’t think about how to write more interestingly. I just kept thinking about whether I made a mistake again during the writing process and after I finished writing.
From a person who writes in a way that he finds interesting, he has become a person who honestly records "military regulations" and "minefields" with a small notebook.
There is a feeling of "it is really difficult to find a way out of the thunder pool"...
I realized that this was not a good way to write it.
In order to please everyone, I look forward and backward...
How to design the plot? How to make a story interesting?
I have to realize that I am the one designing the experience.
If I find it interesting, someone else will find it interesting too.
I can’t be a minesweeper, I want to be a creator who braves minefields for what I think is interesting and doesn’t regret it.
In fact, we must realize that those who frequently threaten and crusade with "military regulations" and "dogma" cannot be "avoided" no matter how hard they "avoid" them.
To put it bluntly, because they are thunder themselves, "explosive" emotional comments and negative reviews are their fate.
I can't be afraid of something that will explode no matter what.
After all, it was just a sound.
After all, since I have to choose to create, in the final analysis, I can only follow my own judgment and choice.
So, I decided to make some changes——
No matter what kind of emotional comments and negative comments I get, I will write according to my own ideas and keep moving forward. Even if my pen hits another minefield and explodes again, I am not afraid.
Because if I find it interesting, someone will definitely find it interesting as well.
It doesn't matter if I can't meet the public for the time being, because this is who I am now, and my writing cannot exceed the current understanding and level.
What I want to do is to be "honest" to myself, let those "like-minded" people read it, make them find it interesting, like the story, and even bring a little happiness to their lives...
Then, even if there are explosions behind me and the clothes on my back are burned, I won't be afraid.
I will wear sunglasses, hold the keyboard, and continue writing while walking forward.
Because a real hero never looks back to see the explosion. (Hahaha……)
What is not native, what is boring about saving my sister, what cannot have more female characters, what cannot the protagonist suffer...
The excellent story works I have seen range from "One Piece" to "Harry Potter", from "Saving Private Ryan" to "WALL-E", from "The Legend of Tsang Kuo-fan" to "The Lord of the Rings Trilogy", from " "A Song of Ice and Fire" to "The Three-Body Problem"...
There are never any "minefields" or military regulations.
The Internet is also a story art, and story art will not have an "independent kingdom" that is different from all other media.
It's just that maybe everyone isn't used to it yet.
I am a viewer and a reader too and I know what is interesting and I firmly believe that.
But then again. When reading, it is inevitable to encounter plots and characters that you don't like in long stories.
Even "One Piece" has chapters that readers generally dislike, and it is impossible for every chapter in "Harry Potter" to be exciting...
Therefore, all I can do is write well based on my heart.
If there are any plot or characters that you are not satisfied with, please bear with me.
After all, I am just an ordinary author. However, although it is ordinary, I will still try my best to do well.
Okay, let’s stop here after complaining a lot.
After all, those friends who are "full of thunder" have already detonated it. Friends who can read the latest chapter should be able to understand the difficulties I am talking about...
A while ago, I was thinking that it might be nice to occasionally chatter in a serial. So, I simply expressed my recent feelings.
Perhaps, I can communicate with you in the form of expressing my thoughts from time to time.
Friends who are willing to leave a message can also leave a message here. It is used as a small instant communication area. There is no limit to the content. You can say whatever you want. Even if it is the recent troubles, I have a way of educating people. After all, I have always been I'm enlightening myself, hahaha...
The Mid-Autumn Festival is coming soon. I wish everyone a happy Mid-Autumn Festival in advance!
