Although this is the third book, it is the first time that I have finished the book properly. I feel a little uncomfortable. Let
me report the results to you first.
The book received 380 orders when it was first put on the shelves. After that, the data rose slowly. As of today, the book has received 10,750 orders, an average of 3,900 orders, and 59,000 collections.
There is no leader who spends money on this book. All the achievements are due to the support and love of all the readers.

The main text ends here, and the plot that can be written has basically reached the top. If we continue, it will be nothing more than a repetition of some conventional content.
Mr. Meng's future is not over yet, but our story has ended.
Next, I will write some extras, mainly about Mai Mai, Sister Meng, and some trivial matters, or if lines that are imaginative.
I actually wanted to add these things to the main text before, but I saw a lot of feedback in the background saying that water writing is meaningless, so I left it to the extras.
As for the extras, I will write whatever I want to write.

Talk about the planning of the new book.
At present, I have an idea. The timeline starts from 2014 and 2015, and the actor traffic route is taken. The female lead is mainly 95 Xiaohua.
This idea has a preliminary framework, but I think it is too conventional after thinking back and forth, and it seems that there is nothing new. So if you readers have any good ideas or suggestions you want to see, you can leave me a message.
As for the female lead, I will learn from the experience of this book and control the number of core people within 2-4. Baomu's ability is limited, and too many people are indeed difficult to control.
(Let me say one thing here. Mr. Meng is actually a very serious person. It's just that I'm greedy and want everyone, which led to the collapse in the later stage.)
As for the candidates, there are several considerations at the moment, and you can leave a message to express your support or opposition:
Meng Ziyi (Sister Meng does not need to be chosen, I just want to tell you that there will definitely be one)
Zhou Ye (If Sister Meng is included, it's really hard not to consider "Zhou Gong Jie Meng")
Tian Xiwei (The Sichuan and Chongqing Tyrannosaurus is quite interesting, and there is also the blessing of "Tong Xin Wei Min", so Sister Xue can be included as well)
Zhang Ruonan (I have always wanted to write about Nannan, and my friends in the group know that she was in the outline of the book at the beginning. I even specially paved the way for her to appear in Chapter 8, but as I was writing, there was no place for her)
Liu Haocun (Cha Cha's popularity is incomprehensibly high... but it feels like the drama will be very strong)
Wang Churan (I'll see if this one should be paired with Sister Meng)
Other nominees (everyone can speak freely. Anyway, the characters will be changed in each book, and there will always be a chance to write about them)
That's about it. I don't know if you can see that I am a person who is greatly influenced by comments and messages, so if you have any ideas, you can put them forward.
I will take a break for ten days or half a month to think about the new book and save some manuscripts. After the release, I will notify everyone in advance. If you are interested, you can join the group and check the progress in real time.
Well, these are the main situations. There are some scattered thoughts at the end. Readers who are not interested don’t need to turn back.
The road is long, we will meet again if we are destined to! ——Some
scattered thoughts
Although I have written two books before, they were all several years ago. So this time I came back, there is actually no difference from a newcomer.
The idea of writing this book at the beginning was mainly in 23 years. At that time, I wanted to find a Chinese entertainment novel to read, but I turned over ten books, and eight of them were about celestial beings. I was directly dreaming back to fifteen years ago.
Let me introduce the situation fifteen years ago to all friends who read Chinese entertainment novels. At that time, "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" and "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" started with the Tang Dynasty route. It was basically the standard start of more than 90% of Chinese entertainment novels to choose a celestial being as the heroine.
I am not saying that I hate celestial beings, but you can't help but see that they are all there at a glance!
I wanted to leave a message at that time, asking if the author could be replaced. But then I thought, why? The plot has been designed, why should it be changed for my one sentence?
I can write it myself, right? Then I will do it myself.
I thought at that time that it is already 2024, and the post-00s have risen, so there is really no need to use 85 flowers.
But I am also worried that if I write about 95 flowers directly, I don’t know how many audiences there will be. So in the end I compromised and chose 90 flowers.
The most popular among the 90 flowers should be Reba and Nazha. But those who have read my first two books know that I prefer to write unpopular female protagonists.
So in the end I wrote about Li Qin and Sister Xue.
In fact, at the beginning, Teacher Li was the first female protagonist, and the first sentence of the opening was her.
It was just that I didn’t expect that Sister Xue’s popularity in the likes of the character card was unexpectedly higher than Li Qin from beginning to end, so Sister Xue’s role was brought up later.
I didn’t expect that Sister Xue was also a "resource coffee" (funny) in the field of online literature.
Facts have proved that there is a market for writing about new little flowers. The heroines chosen are not that popular, but they can still be selected as high-quality works.
The data is not too high, it is my writing problem, not the fault of Mr. Li and Sister Xue! (Dog-licking warning)
So, I also hope that more authors can write about newcomers.
...
Answer some questions I saw in the background.
1. Why is XX gone in the end?
When this book was first designed, there were actually three heroines.
Teacher Li is set as Bai Yueguang, who looks cold and cool, but is lively and arrogant inside;
Boss Li is a confidante + a fun-loving person;
Tietie is an ex-girlfriend + a little green tea.
(Of course, the fact that I have to specifically mention these settings now shows that the characterization is a bit unsuccessful.)
In addition, the rest of the candidates are actually staged roles, and many of them are temporarily taken out when writing to a certain node, resulting in the failure to design a plot line that runs through the past and the present.
For example, Sister Meng, I wrote the day before the chapter that mentioned her, and suddenly I thought that her surname was also Meng, and then I thought it would be interesting to write a relative relationship.
The reason why I set her as a niece is mainly because I saw Chen Xingxu's "Falling in Love at First Sight" clip, in which the second female lead called "little uncle" so sweetly, so I borrowed it.
For example, Bai Lu, there was actually no her at the beginning. I also saw a reader saying that Li Qin and Li Yitong both had their own and wanted to add Bai Lu, and I thought it was the same reason, so I added it temporarily. (It's a pity that Mr. Meng's character setting cannot be about married women, otherwise Sun Yi could be used)
Let's get back to the topic, let's first talk about Tietie's disappearance in the later period.
One reason is that I may have some problems in the description, which makes people not very interested; the other reason is that I didn't expect her reputation to decline so much this year. I received a lot of feedback in the background that people don't want to see her.
I have always been a person who follows good advice. Since everyone doesn't want to see her, I will hide her.
Then there is Qin Lan. This sister was originally designed to have only the early plot, but I didn't expect everyone to be so obsessed with her. But I really didn't design her later plot, so I didn't write it.
Then there is Zhu Zhu. I must admit that this is indeed my problem. Because of greed, her positioning and attributes were divided by Bai Lu, Chao Yue and Mai Mai in the later period. I really couldn't design a new plot, so I had to let it go.
This is also the reason why I decided to control the number of female protagonists in my new book. I don't have the ability to do it, and there is no meaning in writing it except for the name, so it's better not to write it.
As for the other Mr. Miao and Sister Ou, you should be able to see that it is a stage, so I won't explain it.
(Miao Zong thought about having her like Li Qin, and then be overlapped by Meng Zong, but seeing the feedback from the backstage, it seems that no one is interested, so I gave up this line. If everyone is interested, I can add it in the extra chapter.)
...
2. Why didn't you write about Sister Meng in the end?
When I first designed this identity, I thought the setting of this "pseudo-orthopedics" was very interesting. But after seeing the feedback, including receiving reminders, I found that this identity is a bit sensitive and subtle.
If no one mentions it, it's naturally okay. But if someone reports it, it will explode directly. (The next door scumbag exploded once recently, and I mourn for him for a second.)
But it doesn't matter, it's just right to save it for the new book, and there will be more things to write.
...
3. Some thoughts on the logic of the plot
I personally like three entertainment articles the most, Qi Kexiu's "Chicago 1990", Liudan Pa Shui's "Korean Entertainment's Movie King" and Lao Wang's "Training Hong Kong".
I have always felt that writing entertainment articles cannot just be about entertainment, because this industry has such close ties with the upper and lower levels. As the saying goes, "the entertainment industry can reach the sky", so I wanted to go this way at first.
But when I actually started writing, I found that it didn't seem to be the case. The environment of domestic entertainment is different from that of American entertainment, Korean entertainment, and Hong Kong entertainment. Even if it is slightly over the line, it will not pass the review.
If you want to write in depth, you will inevitably involve politics, which is a real minefield.
In addition, regarding the plot design, I initially wanted to use the film and television winter of 2018 as the core point of the outline, and use the previous entertainment boom to set off the decline of the "post-traffic era".
It's a pity that I overestimated my writing skills, and the actual effect of the writing was far less than expected.
I don't seem to be very good at writing a strong emotional climax plot. I can only say that the new book will try to avoid this point and not cause trouble for everyone.
Another point is that I find that sometimes I get too caught up in the logic of "I think" and the plot is not exciting.
For example, in the battle against the "ratings black curtain", I originally designed to use this as a starting point to write about the confrontation between Internet capital and traditional capital. But later I checked and found that traditional capital did not resist at all, and almost knelt in the face of the platform.
Then I compromised and wanted to write about President Meng using Arc Light as a banner to resist the black industry chain. But then I found that this kind of thing can only be done by the official in the domestic entertainment industry, and Arc Light, a private enterprise, cannot have such great power.
So I took another step back and turned it into a feud with Straw Bear. In fact, the most popular development here is to force Old Wu to the extreme and then take in a wave of blind sisters.
But at this time, my dog brain started to turn again, thinking that this level of problem should not make the other party compromise to this point, and it does not fit President Meng's personality.
Then during that time, I read some messy teachings, saying that a plot must have a harvest in the end. I thought about it and finally wrote about taking in Straw Bear.
From the beginning to the end, it was revised many times, and it ended up being a mess. When I read the whole book myself last night, I couldn't figure out what I was writing at the time.
Recently, I have been watching some teaching live broadcasts by platinum masters, and I remembered two sentences. One is "the career line of men is actually the emotional line", and the other is "consider the logic of the plot more, and don't consider too much the logic of reality", which I think are very useful.
So for the new book, I may try to reduce some of the logic that I think is logical and enhance the fun of the plot. After all, for novels, fun is the first priority.
These are some of my own thoughts over the past year. If you think that what I think is wrong, you can also leave a message to explain.
I am different from those awesome masters. I don’t have any obsession with literature. I just want to write something that everyone likes. So if you have anything you want to read, just say it.
Whether it is a masterpiece or a cool article, novels have different levels, but the happiness that novels bring to everyone is the same.
Life is already very tiring, and I hope everyone can find their own happiness in the world of novels.
That’s all.
