LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 6 Dreams and Reality
Chasing your dreams comes at a cost.
No one can keep going and earn hundreds, thousands, or more of perfect attendance every month for the rest of his life.
Zhang Qiren has been wasting his time at the bottom of the Internet literature for almost two years. He reads one book every year and has double-digit subscriptions. This is his third work on the shelves.
There are no more than three things.
Whether it's the pressure of life or the eyes of family members, no one can hold on forever.
In the past two years, Zhang Qiren was delivering food to make ends meet while writing books and pursuing his dreams. I had a big fight with my family a few months ago. In the end, I even stopped delivering food. I moved out of the house without any hesitation. I followed the information about writers sharing a house and came to Chu Ge, where I devoted myself to thinking about a new book.
He has no source of income.
After a few months, the savings he had saved from delivering food were almost used up. This time, Zhang Qiren had no choice but to give up his dream and follow his family's arrangements to find a job in a factory.
This is not a question of what kind of novel to write. It has nothing to do with it. Zhang Qiren is not good at emotional dramas. He is better at imagining and complaining. He is more suitable for stories without female protagonists. Whether the book can be published depends on ability factors and opportunities.
Chu Ge has been in this industry for a longer time and has witnessed how many young people who entered this industry with full confidence disappeared sadly, or became unwilling to turn into trolls and find faults in all the works on the entire platform.
Behind them are voices that are unwilling to have their dreams shattered.
In the eyes of outsiders, how many people know about the cruel elimination behind the "jobless vagrants"?
Chu Ge's situation is about the same as that of Zhang Qiren. I used to be a 9-to-5 office worker. I felt that life like this was boring, so I began to pursue my dream of literature. I was pretty lucky. The income from my first book was barely enough to make a living. But when I had a conflict with my boss, I quit my job to write. Now I have written two or three books in a row, and my savings have been used up. Therefore, this book is now Achievements are very important to him.
What's slightly better than Zhang Qiren is that Chu Ge's family is supportive. Or to put it another way, his family doesn't care about him.
Chu Ge's parents are said to be in a confidential unit. He himself doesn't know what his parents are doing. Anyway, they haven't seen each other for many years and only talk on the phone occasionally. Among them, I have more contact with my mother, but I haven’t heard my father’s voice for a year. If it wasn’t like this before, I don’t know what has happened in the past few years...
The only thing that the second elder is anxious about is his marriage, and he rarely talks about anything else. My mother is quite proud of her son for being able to write a book, and spreads everywhere that my son is a writer, which makes Chu Ge just want to cover his face in embarrassment.
That's right, when Gu Ruoyan said "Aunt Wu said you are a writer" during the blind date, that Aunt Wu was Chu Ge's biological mother. I don’t know where she and Gu Ruoyan met...
It is said that no one in the family wants to move out to rent a house because they are tired of the stares from around them. As soon as I went out, I met some neighbors and elders who smiled and said: "Xiao Chu, I know the manager of XX Leather Factory, would you like to introduce him to you..."
Chu Ge also smiled and replied: "No, leave it to his sister-in-law."
When I turned around, I could feel people muttering behind me: "That son of the Chu family is useless. He is still sitting around at home doing nothing when he is twenty-seven or eighty-years-old."
Simply move it out and keep it out of sight.
This is the embarrassment of this industry. Chu Ge is really used to Gu Ruoyan's behavior on blind dates.
In short, no matter whether his family supports it or not, Chu Ge is a grown man in his 27s and 27 years old. Of course he is embarrassed to ask his family for money, and he insists on telling them that his income is quite good... If he goes to the street now, his life will be really difficult in the future. Know how to get through it.
Two men who share the same problem were eating skewers and drinking wine. Zhang Qiren actually gave some suggestions for subsequent revisions: "Your article has some harem tendencies at the beginning, but neither of them has confirmed the relationship. It is all laid out step by step. Yes, it may have something to do with your temperament... This just leaves a way out, and it can be turned into a stock trading stream later. Finally, it gives an open ending. No one knows which one the protagonist chooses or none... "
Chu Ge was silent for a moment: "You will be beaten in our group if you look like this."
Zhang Qiren smiled: "I don't believe you haven't thought about it this way. Otherwise, why should you organize your outline and ask for leave?"
Chu Ge had never thought about it this way before, mainly because his usual thinking was not in this regard, and it would be difficult to think about it for a while. Now that he was reminded of it, it was really enlightening.
Zhang Qiren's proposal can not only circumvent the problem of missing girls from the harem, but in the end everyone will be leaked anyway, so who cares about Qiu Wuji? In the process, you can also please the harem party and the one-woman party at the same time, and maybe the results will be better. In other words, you will be scolded after finishing the book. By then, you have made all the money and you are afraid of being scolded?
Another advantage is that the previously troublesome scene of Qiu Wuji can be omitted. The original plot can still be followed, except that the relationship between her and the protagonist is changed to a normal sect master and disciple, and the ambiguous relationship is not written. , what does it matter if readers like to guess whether they accept it or not?
It’s simply the best of both worlds.
Chu Ge toasted a glass of wine and said sincerely: "Qi Ren, it's unreasonable for you not to be popular. Your research and understanding of these things are deeper than many people."
Zhang Qiren's eyes were bright: "I also think it's unreasonable for me not to be popular."
He paused for a moment, but his eyes seemed to start to wander, and his eyes were a little complicated.
Chu Ge followed his gaze and saw a girl in black, about 17 or 18 years old, walking from the street, silently passing by the barbecue stall and entering their community.
As I passed by, I smelled drunk.
Chugo recognized this girl.
Because she lives on the same floor as theirs, in the room opposite.
Relations between neighbors are indifferent these days. We have lived on the same floor for so long and have never even spoken to each other. Occasionally when we meet in the elevator, we each look down at our phones without saying hello, so naturally we don’t know their names.
The writer's life is upside down day and night, and the same goes for this girl. We often meet in the middle of the night, and every time we see her, she is drunk.
Sometimes there is a small injury on the forehead...
Most people's first judgment on this is that it's a barmaid, or a little girl, but they're pretty much the same anyway.
"She has been a game anchor, and I have seen her." Zhang Qiren whispered: "It's just that she doesn't talk much and beats herself silently, so her popularity is very low, and I'm afraid she won't be able to support herself."
Chu Ge said: "Are the people in the industry just like us?"
Zhang Qiren sipped his wine and said nothing.
Live broadcasts and online articles are actually very similar, and it is easy to resonate with them.
Everyone is on the street, who looks down on whom?
Chu Ge suddenly said: "Do you like her?"
Zhang Qiren's hand holding the cup tightened and he said casually: "Looking at her beauty, of course she is a little bit greedy. How normal. Have you never been greedy?"
To be honest, Chu Ge has also been greedy for it, and he is still thinking about which place he played in the past where she was able to accompany him for drinks. It is a man's business, regardless of his career or career, it is so normal to just have sex. In high school, he had sex with the Chinese teacher in the next class. .
To be honest, no one has enough money to go to any place to play!
Zhang Qiren soon continued: "It's impossible to like her. How is it possible to work like this... Anyway, we can't support ourselves. Even if we know that she doesn't have the money to support her in any place, why do we like her? dislike."
Chu Ge raised his glass and drank it all: "Come on, you will be popular."
