Chapter 135 Question Session
"Speaking of this, Teacher Xiao Liu is not only a novelist, but also a cartoonist!" The big man suddenly said, changing the topic.
The little guy said: "I have heard of it as a new serial that was cooperating with an original painting and published on the weekly boy jump. The story has the strong style of Teacher Xiao Liu, which is very interesting and is currently loved and followed by many people."
The big man said: "It's not only this comic, but also the online comic of Teacher Xiao Liu's "One Strike Man" has exceeded 7 million clicks a few days ago. Tens of thousands of people visit this online comic every day. I have also read this online comic. Although it is a draft comic, once you adapt to this style, it feels inexplicably touching."
Xiao Liu said: "You know so carefully. These are indeed what I do."
The big man Xinben said: "It's not only the identity of the author, but also the identity of a cartoonist. Teacher Xiaoliu is so hard, and there is also the need to persist in his studies. I really don't know how Teacher Xiaoliu persists."
Xiao Liu said undeniably: "Although it's very hard, it's okay overall. It's not very busy. Compared to my previous job, it can be said to be a pediatric department, so I can easily persist."
"Oh?" The little man Xinben made an unexpected voice and asked strangely: "What kind of work did Teacher Xiao Liu do before? It was so hard, right? Isn't Teacher Xiao Liu a high school student? Is he still working part-time? "
Xiao Liu smiled and said, "I work part-time to help girls."
"Ah? Ah? Ah?!!!" The big man and the little man's newcomer widened their eyes and were almost scared to death.
"Just kidding."
“…then, what exactly does that do?”
"This is the secret." Xiao Liu smiled undeniably, saying, he didn't want to completely expose some of the past.
The big guy’s new book and the small guy’s new book didn’t know what to say for a while, and where did the previous complaints of the girl from the girl’s previous aid come from... It’s so difficult, so difficult.
Soon the round of interviews ended, the small and big new book finally breathed a sigh of relief, and at this time it came to the last part of the column.
The big man Xinben said: "I'm going to separate from Teacher Xiao Liu. I really can't bear to leave it. But I'm really satisfied to see Teacher Xiao Liu this time."
The little guy Xinben said: "Hey! There is still the last round of the show! This is the most important audience question. It is randomly extracted and the audience who want to ask Teacher Xiao Liu's questions. This is very important. You fool, you shouldn't have forgotten it?"
"I'm not a fool. If I forget it, I'm a fool. Then everyone in the world will be a fool." said the big man Xinben.
"Since I forgot, don't be so confident!" The little man Xinben couldn't help but complain: "Okay, then we will proceed to the next stage and start asking some audience questions."
Little man’s new book: “Okay, the first audience, I want to ask is, two teachers, will you feel that there is a bottleneck in the process of creation? If you encounter it, is there any way to get through it?”
Nagato August: "At that time, I will find it extremely difficult to write novels, as if I have no idea of those words. Perhaps this is the so-called bottleneck. Every time I have this feeling, I will put down my writing and start reading some novels by famous writers to relieve my emotions and then continue to create."
Xiao Liu: "Bottleneck? No, when I write it, I write it very smoothly, even if I can't. I will do some foreplays, such as making the text easier, describing some simple daily life, and then I can write it up easily and continuously."
The new book of the little guy: "Do you two teachers have a plan for your own works? For example, outline or something?"
Nagato August: "There are, and there are many, I will make a very complete outline and story outline, background, and additional descriptions in many aspects, and interspersed with lines and events that flashed through my inspiration. Basically, this is a little more than the main text of the novel."
Xiao Liu: "Outline? What is the outline? Can it be eaten?"
The big man Xinben couldn't help asking, "So does Teacher Xiao Liu have no plan?"
Xiao Liu said, "It's all in my mind."
The big man was convinced: "Okay..."
Little man’s new book: “Hello, two teachers, I hope that the two teachers can reach this point. The same is true for me and the two teachers. I am a high school student. I like writing novels very much. Being a novelist is my dream, but my family does not agree, and I don’t have enough time. I wonder, should I give up my studies and concentrate on writing novels? ps: I really like writing novels.”
Nagato August: "It is very irrational to give up your studies. I think, this classmate, you should have a goal, have a complete plan, and communicate with your family to continue writing novels. I believe you will succeed."
Xiao Liu: "Give up writing novels."
The big man and the small man were stunned at the same time: "Ah?"
Xiao Liu continued: "Novels are not the reason for you to escape from your studies, nor are you to be lazy. This world is not as simple as you think. The so-called dreams are definitely used to escape and be lazy. Simply put, you are probably not because you like to write novels, but because you like to write novels with ease. But I tell you very clearly that you will not succeed. The consequence of giving up your studies is to rely on your parents and then become a Niets. If this continues, you will not succeed, nor will you become a novelist."
The big man's new book and the small man's new book couldn't help but feel a little cold sweat when they listened to Xiao Liu's words. This view was really cruel and I couldn't help but feel a little grateful that compared to the audience who raised the question, Xiao Liu's complaints just now were already very light.
"Is Teacher Xiao Liu really okay to say this?" the big man hesitated for a moment and asked.
Xiao Liu frowned and said, "Do you really think it's very simple to become a novelist and then make money?"
"Oh? Of course not..."
"In recent years, electronic products have developed rapidly, and many bookstores have disappeared. E-books have gradually replaced physical books. Although the conversion process is very long, the physical industry is already very dangerous and sluggish. A miracle is like me, but it is probably difficult to achieve a second miracle. Japan's economy is in a recession for so many years, and there is no progress at all. It is even more difficult for a newcomer to publish a novel. Even if it is published, it is only a few thousand royalties. As the novel cannot be sold, there will be no royalties. If you don't become a Niets and starve to death, it is just a matter of time... and..."
Listening to Xiao Liu's talk, the atmosphere became serious for a moment. Whether it was the big new book or the small new book, I felt that the question I asked just now was a little wrong. (To be continued)
