Finally finished, not easy at all. Looking at the 4 million words, it’s really shocking. Almost two years, truly exhausting, my waist seriously hurts...
Frankly speaking, I’m not very satisfied with this novel. Initially, it was an idea for a H book, completely writing for catharsis and fun. But inadvertently sent it to the editor for a look, and he thought it had so potential, plus I didn’t tell him this detail, so it was signed and launched. This caused a problem: the outline was relatively simple, and the preparation work wasn’t very ticulous, with a bit of a rushed feeling.
The advantage here is the space for arbitrary elaboration in details, as long as it can be tied together it’s okay. The downside is... once you give in, uncontrollable details appear. Yes, that’s right, the biggest problem with this book, and what frustrates the most, is that there are too many won collected.
Getting a chance to sleep with big people in the entertainnt industry is quite common, especially in Hollywood it’s a well-known unspoken rule, a routine matter. However, staying beside soone as a plaything, that’s not very common. Independent spirit aside, Aricans’ so-called independence and self-reliance are just words, if better opportunities arise, there isn’t a shortage of such won. Just in reality, there isn’t a person like Adrian—good at coaxing, powerful, able to direct films and win awards wildly.
But still, there’s a limit: one, two, three, four, even five or six are fine. But ten or dozens (soone calculated, collectibles reached 50, cough cough)... Even for Adrian, it’s unlikely because most of these are transactional—unless threatening with photos, videos, etc., in the collection room, haha.
So, I’ve always said if I had followed the initial design of three wives and four concubines plus countless friendly matches, or one wife, three or four lovers, and a bunch of friendly matches, maybe the story would have been tighter, characters more vibrant, avoiding headaches over many characters’ personalities and frustration from repeated scenes.
Of course, I don’t want to bla those friends who egged into adding more won; this is my problem. I didn’t handle it well, couldn’t balance between listening to readers’ opinions and not listening to them.
However, with so many won, Adrian does disrupt the realism of the novel sowhat, but as long as you put these aside, the book still has parts I’m proud of. Mainly, I used a theory that was realistic yet sowhat ambiguous, to explain Hollywood’s operations, like production, public relations, power dynamics, and dia forces, etc.
I don’t dare claim my writing is perfect nor dare to say it’s very close to reality. Truthfully, many parts are just my imagination, so when there’s a discrepancy between found information and my imagined content, let’s not ntion how tangled one can beco. But my logic is basically coherent, albeit fragile, but indeed coherent, even with Adrian’s many won’s loyalty, there’s the foreshadowing of the collection room as the ultimate weapon.
So, at least in the entertainnt segnt on Qidian, my "King of Hollywood" is relatively the closest to reality, I’m sowhat proud of this.
I know so friends may bring up works by a fellow University of Southern California student, and I admit, as a student studying in the United States, his understanding of Arican society is definitely stronger than , a visitor who only browsed quickly. But... what can I say, I heard from a friend he wanted to create a the, which is looking up to Heaven from Hell. Honestly, that’s a nice the; if possible, I’d like to try too, after all, positive energy is what we should promote.
But the problem is, if Hell can’t be written, then how can one look up to Heaven?
I’m not trying to criticize that USC student, but he’s indeed a bit naive, after all still a college student. And in Arica, though I only had a quick glance, if a hobody goes there with a decent economic foundation, staying indoors is indeed quite cozy.
Though this classmate worked in a music studio (he studies music), participated in so activities, has friends who interned at film companies, in terms of experience still lacks sowhat, and... personally after looking at so of his stuff, not just novels but also articles, like Tianya’s gossip music content, feel he was assimilated by many simple-minded Aricans.
This is really a pity, if possible, I really hope to see a story that fits his the, without lies.
Alright, enough of that, the book is completely finished, Adrian’s story ends here, this world is completed. As for the next one... I’ll talk about it once I’ve rested enough. Sitting in front of the computer for two years or more, often staying up late, various ailnts are erging, moving a bit feels like the whole body is rusted, so don’t even think about it now.
Moreover, now that it’s finally finished, I should write more uncensored, even darker things to reward those who subscribed entirely. It’s been too long without updating anything uncensored, cough cough.
Despite the book not performing particularly well and having constant twists and turns mid-way, not to ntion the company’s legal letter, what’s absurd is even encountering oddballs in the group.
That was truly an oddball, although the book is about Arican entertainnt, and though we often critique so social issues with friends in the group, essentially, we still hope our country can be better, our life can be better. But there happened to be an oddball, don’t know when they joined the group; we forgot what particular discussion was about, and this person openly declared anticipation for the landing of the Kings’ army.
Moreover, he stated definitely not joking, even when friends told him that even if Kings’ army landed, soone like him would still be cannon fodder. As a result, he completely didn’t care, expressing as long as the Kings’ army landed, he’d have a chance to gamble once. I was like, although I had heard of lackeys before, seeing such a lively lackey is the first ti. How’s that saying go? Here’s a lone lackey, we can try capturing it; one lackey can provide us with days of energy...
Okay, not kidding, in the end, since conversation wasn’t compatible, asked him to leave. In the end, half an hour later, that guy went to Qidian forum to report , even using stolen post to report, threatened if Qidian didn’t handle it, he’d report by phone. Jeez, seems that fragile ego was hurt deeply, unfortunately, not even one-tenth as powerful as the legal letter.
In fact, at that ti I rather hoped he’d succeed; if the book were really banned, then in the group I could write, anything at all, any large-scale story could be written, wouldn’t have to constantly wrestle back and forth, haha.
Alright alright, kidding aside, no matter how odd that guy was, it has nothing to do with us; the book is successfully finished, and I can completely relax.
Of course, reserved program, thanks to the editors before and after, even when I say nothing, still occasionally helping fight for recomndations, busy handling and guiding during the legal letter incident, the book finishing thanks a lot to their care.
Then there are my readers, the first Alliance Hierarch’s Loneso Widower, second Hierarch Chasing Wind, helping look for information and being responsive Dark Tide and Judgent, assisting with financial consultations ZZ and Heartless, providing foreign news SIN and ACE, etc., etc., so many I can’t na them all, but I want to say, thank you for your support.
Thank you for easing my mind when irritated, thank you for painstakingly gathering information for , thank you for analyzing the plot and providing segnts, thank you for your material and spiritual support, thank you very much!
At the sa ti, to all the silent majority of friends, I also must say thank you; without your silent support, I wouldn’t have persisted till now, thank you for your subscriptions, thank you for your likes, a deep bow, thank you all! Goodbye! (To be continued. If you like this work, welco to Qidian (qidian) to vote for recomndation votes, monthly votes, your support is my greatest motivation.)
