As I was writing late, I suddenly felt so stupid. An author who doesn’t want to be popular is not a good author. Why don’t I want to be popular? The works I write are for people to see. If I am not popular, doesn't that prove that I am not good at writing? So why do I keep on wasting my time? "
"Sure enough, I can't think about these problems late at night..." Xu Chi smiled and glanced at Tang Yanzhi, "I know I'm on the edge of a dead end, but I can't get out of this strange circle."
Tang Yanzhi stared intently at the traffic jam ahead like a car show, tapped his fingers on the steering wheel, looked at the road ahead and said to Xu Chi, "You said you are an abusive writer, so do you like to write abusive essays?"
"Why do I write if I don't like it?"
"Okay... Then our problem becomes simple. You just feel that no one reads your writing, and some readers can't understand you."
"Is the question simple? These two questions are enough to overwhelm many authors."
"Well, if there is someone who can help you now, like me, I have more than 400,000 followers on Weibo, I will repost your work, and then blow it up, and you will become famous, are you willing?"
"I do not want to."
"Why don't you want to? You only lack a channel that can become popular, and now I'm giving you this channel. What's the reason why you don't want to?"
"What I want is for readers to sincerely feel that my writing is good after reading my writing, and then go to give Amway to others, instead of running to read my writing for your sake, although I say that you may I think I'm a bit hypocritical ... but I think the two ways are different."
"What's the difference? It's just a popular channel. Why do you care so much? After you become popular, people will naturally want to read your articles, and then write comments for you with real feelings. We just put these two The order was reversed, and the result was the same."
"It's different." Xu Chi said stubbornly, "I don't need the enthusiasm or glory that I bought or bought. What if my writing can't reach the height of your bragging? Wouldn't it be embarrassing?"
"No," Tang Yanzhi laughed, "My fan filter is very heavy."
Xu Chi asked, "Huh?" in confusion.
There was no sign of smooth road, Tang Yanzhi continued: "Then let's talk from another angle."
"Um?"
"Do you like sweet text?"
"I... have no feelings. I don't have any feelings, which means I don't like it or not. I will watch it, but I probably won't have the urge to chase after it."
"I can understand, everyone has different hobbies. My original idea of writing sweet articles is... I hope my readers will feel warm, happy and less negative energy in life after reading my articles. I also feel totally ok to pass the time.”
"Honestly speaking, the current circle is somewhat commercialized. Some authors will choose what readers like to read and write. I don't think there is a problem. Everyone chooses differently. After all, they have to eat."
"To put it in a more general way, I feel that today's sweet articles..." Tang Yanzhi used an analogy, "There is a trend of 'fast food culture'. My fans will occasionally say that after reading a sweet article, Turn off the phone and forget all the names of the protagonists in the plot.”
"Compared in this way, the abuse article will leave a deeper impression on people. At least sometimes when an abuse article is mentioned, more than half of the comments below are about beating someone so and so."
"But such essays... are rare after all... just like my essays... most of them hit the street when they are written."
Tang Yanzhi choked back the phrase "It's not that you are rushing to the street, it's just that there are few people watching it." "Since your attitude towards sweet essays is not as fond of abuse essays, I think it's better for you not to write."
"It's not easy to write sweet essays well. It should be said that it is not easy to write every essay well. Now there is a lot of competition for sweet essays. With so many sweet essays, why do you think you can write better than others? ?”
"If you don't even love the author, how can you expect readers to love your writing?"
Xu Chi fell silent.
"Let's talk about readers again. Every reader is an independent individual. They all have their own ideas. You can't ask every reader to follow your wishes. Even I receive hundreds of messages every day saying that my Childish, silly, sweet comments, just like you like apples and I like watermelon, you can't hold my head and tell me that watermelon is not good, and then let me eat apples?"
"So most of the time, I will use these comments as motivation to spur me. Although these comments are not good, they can quickly and accurately point out the weaknesses of your works. As for those brainless criticisms, the author's three views are not correct 'Yes, just smile and read."
"You can read every comment, but you can't take every comment to your heart. The author's heart is too small. If you pretend to be a plot character, there is not much room for you. You can't keep stuffing garbage in your heart."
"So all in all, I think it's not easy for the author and the reader. It's best if they can understand each other. If they can't... I think it's pretty good to maintain a delicate balance."
After Tang Yanzhi finished speaking, he stared at Xu Chi. Xu Chi smiled unnaturally and said, "I'm just making a hypothesis. Why are you telling me so much so seriously?"
Tang Yanzhi raised his eyebrows and smiled, "I'm serious about everything about you."
[53.]
As soon as the words came out, both of them froze.
"I..." Tang Yanzhi said, "I mean, I regard you as a friend, so I am very serious about your questions."
He also nodded while emphasizing: "I'm a straight man, and it's true."
"I know..." Xu Chi's dimples were faintly visible, "but I'm not."
Tang Yanzhi was stunned.
If someone else said this sentence, there may be hidden meanings, such as "I am not a straight man, you should not be so nice to me", or "I am not a straight man, you are so nice to me, I am afraid I will I like you", but the character was replaced by Xu Chi, and with Xu Chi's personality, Tang Yanzhi knew that what he wanted to say was just the fact that "I'm not straight".
But Tang Yanzhi was still stunned by Xu Chi's unexpected straight ball.
"I... ... "
"What's wrong?" Xu Chi looked at the vehicle in front of him and began to move slowly, and asked vaguely, "Did it cause you any trouble?"
"No, no..." Tang Yanzhi said anxiously, "It's just... just a little unexpected."
"Accident?" Xu Chi turned his head to look at Tang Yanzhi, and smiled slowly, "I know you are a straight man, so I don't have any special feelings for you, as you said, we are friends, So I don’t want to deceive you, I know some straight men are homophobic, so I want to tell you in advance, it’s entirely up to you whether you want to continue to be friends.”
Tang Yanzhi really wanted to ask, did you make friends like this before? After a little familiarity, he told the other party his sexual orientation, which was so straightforward that it made people feel overwhelmed, but he felt more like shooting himself in the foot with a stone.
"No, no, no... I don't reject the same sex at all..." Tang Yanzhi affirmed, "Not at all."
"That's good..." Xu Chi breathed a sigh of relief, "I don't have many friends, and I'm not very good at making friends... Although we don't meet many times, I can tell that you are Sincerely treat me as a friend... "
In fact, what Xu Chi said was all bullshit. When Tang Yanzhi told him these words that seemed to comfort and remind him, his brain got hot and he wanted to tell him the secret.
Tell him this secret that you have hidden for more than twenty years.
[54.]
The car started to move slowly, Tang Yanzhi put his hands on the steering wheel again, his mouth was full of bitterness and he couldn't speak, his face wrinkled into a bitter face.
Xu Chi suddenly asked, "What's wrong?"
"What?"
"Your face..." Xu Chi reminded, "It's wrinkled like a bun."
"Oh..." Tang Yanzhi frantically found an excuse while driving, "I was thinking about Wen."
"Wen? What's wrong?"
"You must have read what I wrote."
Xu Chi didn't deny it either, "Yes."
Tang Yanzhi used the most common question, "Does it look good?"
"Quite good looking."
"Do you follow updates every day?"
"Um."
"Didn't you say..." Tang Yanzhi glanced at Xu Chi from the corner of his eye, "Don't you have the urge to chase after Tianwen?"
The co-pilot sat for too long, Xu Chi moved his hands and feet lazily, and then said: "You are different..."
"What's the difference?"
Xu Chi glanced at Tang Yanzhi, "Of course my friend's writing must be supported."
Tang Yanzhi's heart beat quickened by Xu Chi's glance, he accidentally stepped on the brakes, and stopped in front of the green light.
Xu Chi was taken aback, "What's wrong?!"
"It's okay, it's okay... I slipped my foot."
"..."
