Chapter 67: This is what writing is all about
Two intersections outside the gate of Woolen Textile Middle School, a Mercedes-Benz S60 was parked under the overpass, and passing students occasionally looked over.
In fact, in this small county, few people really understand or care about cars, but the pressure from money can still be felt.
Passing cyclists avoid the eight-foot-wide road and almost walk on the motor vehicle lane. If it is scratched, a year's work will be wasted.
In the car, Qian Yarong looked back helplessly and glanced at her sleeping daughter.
Lu Siwen, who should have been full of energy early in the morning, was curled up on the car door like a kitten, with a tired look on his face.
It didn't feel like a night of sleep, but more like... a night of playing.
He must have stayed up late reading miscellaneous books again. Qian Yarong knew Lu Siwen's hobbies very well.
But even so, when she went out, Lu Siwen still asked to stop under this overpass. She wanted to wait for "classmate Zhai" to go to school together, but when the car arrived, the person fell asleep.
When Qian Yarong was thinking about how to deal with the situation, she saw the boy that Lu Siwen was waiting for, flying poker cards and heading towards the overpass.
With a snap of his fingers, the playing card spun and flew diagonally upwards, then flew back into his hand.
I have to say it does have a great visual effect.
Cheating girls is always a sure win. Qian Yarong couldn't help but think...
Plus, what micro-fiction competition... Which high school girl can withstand such a test...
"Siwen? Siwen?"
Lu Siwen didn't respond. Seeing that the boy was about to walk away, Qian Yarong could only roll down the car window and call out to herself: "Student Zhai? Wait a minute..."
Zhai Da turned around, put the Joker Poker back into his pocket, and walked down the rooftop again.
"Hello, Auntie."
"Siwen is waiting for you, but seems to be asleep."
Zhai Da glanced back, waiting for the next words...
I thought, so what? If you start screaming, I can’t go in and sleep with you.
Qian Yarong looked at Zhai Da, and something clicked in her mind. She smiled and said, "She might have been tired from studying for the TOEFL last night. This kid...she only has a few months left before going abroad, so she might be a little anxious."
It seemed like he was explaining, but in fact he was revealing some information while Lu Siwen was asleep.
For what reason is self-evident.
Zhai Da suddenly realized, but was not surprised.
Going abroad is very suitable for the other party's family situation. Nowadays, anyone with a little financial strength will basically plan to go this way.
Zhai Da had no subjective opinion on this. As for whether a girl as blank as a piece of paper could withstand the repeated attacks from the outside, to be frank, it was not his turn to express his opinion.
At least there is no reason to express your opinion in front of someone's mother.
"What about Zhai? Have you decided on your college entrance exam application?"
Zhai Da shook his head and said, "Fill in the application form after knowing the scores, and then
There’s still time to see.”
Lu Siwen in the back seat rubbed his eyes when he heard the noise, and Qian Yarong ended the topic at the right time.
Lu Siwen came to his senses a second after seeing Zhai Da. He looked at the Longines Crescent Watch in his hand, quickly got out of the car, pulled Zhai Da's sleeve and walked towards the school. All he left for Qian Yarong was a sentence "Goodbye, Mom."
Looking at the two people's brisk backs, Qian Yarong smiled.
She is not a bad mother, but she may be a realistic mother. She must be different from others. She is happy to gain some friendship for a short time, and she can accept even some love for a short time.
As long as it doesn't affect her plans for Lu Siwen's life.
Meticulous planning.
On the overpass, Lu Siwen was still immersed in the excitement of last night...or more accurately, the excitement he had created. "Mr. Zhai, I've finished reading 'The Long Journey'. It's so well written!"
"How can you write so well and with such detail! You know so much about the hospital and the patients... You must have done a lot of research, right?"
Zhai Da nodded absentmindedly: "I guess so."
The movie only provided a general outline, and he couldn't remember the details clearly. Most of it was accumulated from the six months that Yu Xiaoli spent in the hospital after she was diagnosed with cancer in her previous life.
Not a good memory, though.
To this day, he can still clearly recall the never-ending "beeping" sound in the ICU ward, and can understand every number and wave on the "monitor".
Although looking back at the timeline, there is definitely nothing wrong with Yu Xiaoli now, he still decided to find a way to take his mother to a first-tier city for a comprehensive check-up after the college entrance examination, and to ensure at least twice a year in the future.
Lu Siwen didn't know what Zhai Da was thinking, and said excitedly, "In the end, Lin Manman and Lu Tu succeeded in fighting the disease, right?"
Zhai Da didn't say anything, just glanced at Lu Siwen.
Lu Siwen covered his mouth in surprise and said, "Failed? They tried so hard!"
Zhai Da thought to himself, I am the author... success or failure is not determined by a single line of my words.
If I were to go crazy, I could just say that both of them were sent to another world by a dump truck.
For example, in my past life, there were online novels where the male protagonist looked in the mirror and found himself so handsome that he almost died...
The story of "The Long Journey" is actually not complicated. It comes from real events in the previous life and was later adapted into a movie.
Of course, if we calculate the timeline, that real event has not happened yet.
Lin Manman, a young patient with uremia, suffered from long-term low-quality life, deteriorating health conditions, and hopeless waiting for a kidney transplant. One day, when he was under pressure and had an emotional breakdown, he recorded a "marriage proposal" video and sent it to a group of terminally ill cancer patients.
If the match is successful, she is willing to marry the terminally ill cancer patient and accompany him to fight the disease. If the other party dies, she will receive a kidney transplant as his wife and take care of his parents.
old.
Although he quickly withdrew the video because of his immorality, it was still seen by one person, the other person in the story's name, Lu Tu.
The subsequent story revolves around the two people's fight against the disease and the sparks of love that arise.
At the same time, it also explores disease and human nature, society and family affection.
However, since Zhai Da copied a movie, it would definitely not be possible for it to be exactly the same. Movies and literature have different ways of expression, and he could not remember such details, so this story is at most 60% similar to the movie.
The name of the heroine was changed, and some other content that conflicted with the sense of the times was also revised. For example, WeChat did not exist at the time, so the heroine's video was posted in a QQ group. In addition, a clause "never marrying" was added to the promise.
Another very important part is that about half of the movie is based on "comedy" to advance the plot, such as various misunderstandings, nonsense, the male protagonist's strange accent and even stranger personality. These things are not convenient to copy into the novel, and even words cannot describe things like "strange accent".
Zhai Da downplays the comedy and instead focuses on the tragic portrayal. The male protagonist is no longer a silly character, even though he had a piece of brain tissue removed due to a brain tumor...
Therefore, the final outcome of the whole story will become very "sad".
The ending he arranged was for him to live alone, lonely and strong.
After all, it's not an online novel, and a tragic ending is better than a happy ending.
I guess a girl of Lu Siwen's age would cry her heart out in the end...
By the way, the main audience for novels of this subject matter are women of Lu Siwen's age.
Due to the effect of [Literary Girl's Pen], these contents are judged as "original" by the system, and emotions are injected into the writing process, so the quality is exceptionally high.
This has greatly improved the skills of a "copywriter" who has never written a long story, and he even finds some of the content touching.
What I wrote is really awesome.
He felt that his writing style was not inferior to those of famous authors, after all, he was a master of his craft.
But Lu Siwen realized that Zhai Da was going to end up in tragedy, and she felt terrible. She had seen it all through. Lin Manman and Lu Tu were like real people, pulling Zhai Da's sleeves and begging:
"Let them fight the disease successfully~ Please!"
I have to say, this aggrieved look is very pleasing to the eye, but...
"No, the more tender the writing, the more beautiful and desirable the happy ending seems. And if the reader is suddenly struck by a ruthless blow at the end, the more depth the story has, right? That's how writing works!"
Lu Siwen was stunned...
She really wanted to measure whether Zhai Da's mouth was 38 degrees.
How can you say such cold words...
