Ten years, thanksgiving.
To everyone who is reading this super long article：
2008On July 31st of this year, Qimao officially uploaded the first chapter of "Entertainment Around You" on Qidian; today, Qimao has been a writer for just ten years.
In fact, Qimao was a little hesitant at first as to whether he should write a testimonial. After all, as a little transparent little street guy, Qimao actually has no sense of existence. So far, no book has been ordered over 10,000 yuan, and the results have always been tepid. , don’t say ten years, even if I write a few more years, no one will pay special attention. Ten years is ten years, except myself, no one remembers this matter.
I should say, is it necessary to be pretentious?？
But along the way, Qimao is always grateful, because he has been accompanied by so many book friends along the way, and because the coding thing has really changed Qimao's life. Not only is he full-time, but he can also become a freelancer. Professionals enjoy a little freedom and a little happiness. In this regard, Qimao is lucky.
Looking back at the beginning of my memories, it should be the Lunar New Year in 2008. At that time, Qimao was preparing to study abroad. He was just an insignificant little bookworm. When chatting with friends, he accidentally talked about code words. Qimao The cat had an outline of a story in his mind, and then began to write it with the encouragement of his friends..
From March to July, Qimao could only code less than twenty chapters in five months. Not only was his hand disabled, but his ideas were intermittent. He had no idea of the outline, characters, and plot. He just wrote whatever came to his mind. What, I didn’t even want to upload it in the first place.
I still remember when I finally decided to upload it, I was worried and nervous, and my hands even shook a bit. But when I uploaded it, nothing happened because no one read it, hahahaha, but in the beginning I was planning to do it myself. Just for my own entertainment, I never thought about getting royalties..
“When "Entertainment is Around You", Qimao was the famous little prince of one update. No matter how hard he pushed it, he could not do anything. He could not change one update every day. His current hand speed was all forced by the "great artist" period, ha; at that time, that I haven't signed a contract for this book. Looking back now, the writing and conception are extremely young, but it was the simplest and happiest period of time when coding. Even if there is no income, it is still enjoyable..
Ever since he was a child, Qimao has been passionate about everything he does. But starting from "Entertainment Around You", it was the first time that he could stick to one thing. At eight o'clock every night, fixed updates seemed to have become a part of life. ——There was no such thing as regular updates at that time. This became the first thing that changed Qimao’s living habits..
Later, at the instigation of book friends, "Entertainment is Around You" was written as a sequel, and the contract was successfully signed. The subscriptions at that time were only in double digits, but when I received the royalties in the first month, it was still Overjoyed.
Despite this, Qimao never considered himself an excellent writer. He had no talent or talent. Book friends often asked Qimao why he didn't change his writing style. Or why not change the subject? In fact, it is not because Qimao is unwilling, and even now he is still imagining works on other themes; but because he is afraid, he always feels that his ability is limited, and he seems unable to write better or make breakthroughs. After much thought, he still has the courage to do so. Xiaodi retreated.
In fact, every time he finishes coding a book, Qimao always feels that it is the last one and there is no need to continue to persevere. This is the case every time. Even now, it is still the case..
But, in the final analysis, it is still because I like it. Of course, there is also the support of a group of die-hard book friends. Slowly, slowly, it seems to have become a part of life. Since you continue because you like it, then follow the way you like. Come on. Just be a little more literary. There's nothing wrong with that..
Ten years, eight books, 30 million words, just like this.
It sounds so short, yet so long, maybe this is life.
Let’s take this opportunity to chat with you about the eight books we’ve read so far..
The favorite character of many book friends is the "big artist" Evan. Undoubtedly, this is the character Qimao is most happy to write. He is wanton enough and bold enough. He is not as sharp as the "big idol" Li Junyi but is also public enough. , at the same time, both the actor line and the singer line can echo and connect, truly making life as gorgeous as summer flowers; moreover, the tragedy part of him is just right, the family part is relatively complete, and the two characters of Teddy and Eden are still the same. can think of.
However, the character I really enjoyed writing the most was Jiang Yihan from the "Entertainment By My Side" series. Although the writing style and story structure were unbearable, it was when I had just started coding, so the character had all the insecurities of Qimao. Practical romance and passionate imagination make people unable to put it down when created..
Evan’s biggest regret is the love line.
On the one hand, Qimao tried to try something new, so it wrote three female protagonists. However, in the ending part, they found that they could not control it, but they could no longer take it back, so they could only cover it in one word. This is also Qimao's only book with multiple female protagonists, because I found that I was not suitable..
On the other hand, since we have chosen multiple female protagonists, the emotional conflicts in the second half could actually be more intense or bloody, with more ups and downs. However, Qimao was timid again, so it was embarrassing in the middle. location.
The one who is most satisfied with the love line should be Hugo in "Superstar". In fact, the book "Superstar" is a relatively mature concept, not only the love line between Hugo and Charlize, in fact, everything has been conceived at the beginning of writing. The continuation, turn, and ending of the movie are very clear and accurate; and the movie and music support each other. This is Qimao’s favorite part, although many book friends complain that the music part is too redundant..
After the founding of the company, Qimao was lucky enough to get a buyout opportunity, so he could calm down and create the book "Superstar" without having to worry about his performance. Therefore, the entire concept and story are the most complete. The only regret is that It’s just that I didn’t have time to write about the married life where I was so sweet and cruel to dogs in the end..
“"Film Master" was also bought out. Unfortunately, this book had to be ended early because the performance did not improve. Although Qimao began to adjust the outline when the plot was halfway through and ended it early, the regret left is still There are a lot of stories. There is no chance to finish the story in the third volume..
Many book friends have been complaining about Qimao repeating himself in circles. In fact, Qimao also realized it, so the "movie master" tried to make some attempts and made changes starting from the character setting..
In fact, Lance has always been one of Qimao's favorite characters, to some extent even more than Evan. The regret of incompleteness is part of the reason, but the greater part is because of the completeness of the character. After completing the setting, some parts that were complained about by everyone in the first half can be seen in the second half of the game. You can see the transformation and growth. You can find parts that echo the attitude of family and friendship..
It can be said that Lance's character outline is the most complete one; it is also a character that Qimao tries to break the framework. The same is true for the storyline. Unfortunately, the second half is still missing..
It is precisely because of this that when creating the role of Renly, the "big drama bone", Qimao stripped off all the cumbersome settings and tried to create a purer and simpler character. Undoubtedly, this book is about The exploration of acting skills is the most important. This can be regarded as a small new attempt..
Of course, if book lovers are willing to follow the Seven Cats and read until now, Renly's character will gradually become fuller and more three-dimensional. Regarding Renly's subsequent development, if you have some questions, it is recommended that book friends read the volume titles to find the answers. That’s it for the hint; for the rest, I hope book friends will have patience and continue to follow the development of the story..
In addition to writing these characters, there is another place where code words have changed the lives of Qimao in a small way. That is the movie.
Because it’s been so long, my memory is a little blurry now. I forgot whether it was during the “Big Idol” period or the “Great Artist” period. Qimao made a super stupid mistake: when writing about David Fincher, he wrote David- Lynch.
At that time, Qimao was a person who didn't watch movies. Even if he did watch occasionally, it was just to watch popcorn. All his knowledge of all movies came from Du Niang; as a result, this time his mistake was pointed out by a book friend, and he also It became a bit of a joke, and I still feel ashamed when I think about it..
After that, Qimao started watching movies: at least one movie every day. It was really difficult at the beginning, but he persisted, and six years passed. Now, movies, like music, have become Qimao’s hobby. .Broaden your horizons through movies and open up the world through travel. This is also a way of life..
Starting from a hobby to changing your lifestyle is indeed a very important journey..
Qimao is not a senior fan, and his understanding of genres and directors is still at the primary stage. However, if there are book friends who are willing to communicate, or to bid farewell to each other's drama shortage, then welcome to join Qimao: Douban/Pan , Gong/Zhong/ account, and Net/Easy/Cloud, all can be found by searching Qimao’s ID.
Regarding Douban/Pan, Qimao is now marking movies here every day, both good and bad; and has created several Douban columns to recommend some weird and weird movies. If you have any book friends, you are welcome to join us..
As for the Gong/Zhong/ account, if nothing else, I will update it regularly every week (but I usually get lazy). I recommend some movies, write some thoughts on watching movies, and occasionally write summaries. Everyone is welcome to join in the fun; in addition, I occasionally travel. Sometimes, I will also write something to enhance my sense of presence, haha.
Regarding Net/Ease/Cloud, Qimao has established two playlists. One is for recommended songs in works, not only "big dramas", but also basically all of them in the past, and they can all be found; the other is for daily recommendations, In addition to rock and folk songs, electronic, pop, rap, etc. are also recommended. You can search for the music you like..
I used to have a scarf, but it was blocked due to special circumstances, so... there was nothing more. After thinking about it, I didn't re-create the account..
In short, this is probably the case, "Qiqijia D Maomao", this account is universal, only this one, no other semicolon.
See, this is how life changes！
Sincerely, I would like to thank every book lover who supports Qimao, past and present. Faced with such a niche author, Qimao, you can still find Qimao in the vast sea of books in Qimao. , and accompanying Qimao on a journey, this is an extremely honorable thing.
Thanks！
Finally, let’s talk about the book “Da Xigu”..
Everything that should be said about the character and story of Renly has been said in the book. As for whether the readers like it and whether they can feel his persistence and struggle, it is a matter of opinion..
Now, the performance of this book can only be said to be mediocre. Both the follow-up and average subscription figures are the same. In terms of income, it is really not worth mentioning. This seems to be the norm and there is nothing surprising, ha; of course, Qimao I will continue to write. The story about Renly is not finished yet. There is still the content of the fourth volume. The Seven Cats will still respond with enthusiasm and complete the entire book..
However, I still solemnly call here, please be sure to support genuine subscription, this is the best support! Every genuine subscription is the motivation for Qimao to continue to persevere. Thank you. Rewards, monthly tickets, recommendations, book reviews... these are all important, very important, but the most important thing is always the genuine subscription.！
Now, the eloquent speech has finally come to an end..
During the physical examination at the beginning of this year, everything was normal for Qimao, but the uric acid index was too high - the seafood control said that he was guilty, and the doctor said that there was nothing serious, but that he still needed to control his diet a little. Then, after spending more than half a year in shame, , one late night last week, I suddenly felt a soreness in the thumb of my right leg in the middle of the night, and I woke up directly from the pain. Then I was half asleep and half awake the whole night, as if I was surrounded by a cloud-like pain. After I woke up in the morning , the whole right leg was completely unable to move. Finally, I used Ele.me to call the delivery man to go to the pharmacy and help buy medicine. This solved the urgent need. Thanks to the developed delivery system.
Now that I have almost recovered, I still need to keep exercising. In addition, Qimao is going vegetarian in the short term. Wipe away my tears. Forget about my seafood and river seafood-crayfish. The season of hairy crabs is coming soon..
It's incredible that a seventeen-year-old handsome boy has gout! But that's not the point. The point is that in the blink of an eye, we seem to have reached the age where we need to consider our health. "Ten years" has become real. I am serious. In fact, I have just passed the age of eighteen. On my birthday, this issue shouldn’t be discussed. Well, it doesn’t exist. Everything doesn’t exist..
However, in the past ten years, although there have been no achievements worth mentioning, although the data has always been regular, and can even be said to be calm, Qimao has always been very grateful. Thank you to all book friends for accompanying you all the way, and thank you for your willingness to support genuine reading. My story, thank you for your support.
Not to mention whether there will be another book after the end of this book - should it be written about pure entertainment from the director or producer? Or should I write about being reborn and returning to the city where I enjoyed my life as a boy? Or maybe it's about writing different stories about fast travel...what type? Otherwise, there will be no next book at all.？
But no matter what, it’s good to cherish the present moment. This is happiness. This is Qimao’s honor.
Again, thank you.
from，
seven cats.
