Chapter 39: A Couple of Casual Remarks
A Couple of Casual Remarks
Some readers want to see Xiao Fang show off at Qingbei; unfortunately, this book does not follow that path.
First, going to Qingbei holds little significance.
The platform is indeed good and can build connections, but if classmates go into politics, they cannot write, and writing would ruin it; if classmates do not go into politics, then only money remains—does Xiao Fang lack money?
Second, the effect of showing off conflicts with the actual path.
Going to Qingbei is very satisfying, sounding nothing like a flashy slut, but if you enjoy the benefits, you must bear the responsibilities.
Qingbei's teachers and elders will ask you to shoot a promotional video; will you shoot it or not?
Qingbei's student union will ask you to help organize some activity; will you help or not?
Leaders of Qingbei's big platform will demand you curb your temper and correct your words and deeds; will you listen or not?
If a conflict arises with the likes of Ai Dajin, the school urges you to reconcile, forcing you to hold your head down and swallow some shit; will you endure it or not?
Later, when Xiao Fang becomes big, the school administration issues political tasks, the institute wants to pursue cooperation, and department elders want to insert people into projects...
Will you resist or not?
Given Qingbei's administrative rank, no matter how many awards Xiao Fang wins or how much money he earns, he will forever remain in a weak position.
Going to such a school is not satisfying at all; can you understand?
Let me tell a joke: after graduation, attending an alumni association where the stage is full of leaders, Xiao Fang must sit below and smile along.
You want to go to Qingbei to build so-called connections and show off the most awesome brag, but in reality, you are placing yourself in a situation you cannot control, which is very immature.
Third, going to Qingbei also involves some detailed issues that hinder writing.
If you study hard, two or three years of lacking exposure will not only affect gaining and retaining fans but also present problems in writing that are difficult to balance.
If you do not study hard and instead write novels or shoot films, then Xiao Fang becomes an oddball in the school, and the outside world will question it.
Furthermore, how should campus life at Qingbei be positioned?
How should interaction with this academic environment be conducted?
You do not need to consider these issues; I must consider them.
Fourth, does the core main thread of this book lean towards business or entertainment?
Obviously, it is entertainment.
Therefore, the core cannot deviate; any brushwork that causes the core to shift is a flaw.
There are far too many satisfying points in web novels; giving Xiao Fang a cheat code so he not only attends Qingbei but also solves the Goldbach Conjecture would be even more awesome, more explosive, and more fan-attracting, but that is wrong; it deviates.
So, synthesizing all the above, the conclusion is: I am very grateful for everyone's suggestions, but I do not recommend you guide the author on how to write the book with an especially strong or affirmative tone.
Comments that could mislead everyone have been deleted, but no one has been banned; you can still complain freely in the future. If it really does not suit you, let us part on good terms and meet again in the Jianghu.
I have said this since my first book, and indeed many former readers have gathered again in some new book; is this not good?
Finally, let us discuss the release date and the possibility of a burst of updates.
I have discussed it with the editor: it will be released on February 1st; let us continue updating like this for this month.
Right now, I do have a tiny bit of stored drafts; Xiao Agua is truly cunning, watching me every day.
If I do not fall ill this month, then on the release day, I can unleash a burst.
The exact amount will be seen later; if the results are good, I will try harder; if the results are average, I will slack off and take care of my health.
In short, I cannot release them now; I must save them for emergencies.
The basic rule is 4,000 words per day; it could be one chapter or two chapters; if there is more, consider it as bread suddenly becoming a baguette.
But if there is a Grand Patron, I will definitely kowtow to the daddy; that is all.
