Chapter 26 The preparation work determines the quality of the author

After a dinner with guests and guests, Yue Qingyan's new residence remained as cold as before.

And he attended the award ceremony that day later, and was calm. His works could withstand pickyness and had a good relationship with the author and editor. Yue Qingyan didn't seem to be the kind of person who was so low that he would quarrel and have conflicts with others. After calmly dealing with the award ceremony, his major project finally opened.

He placed a lot of orders online, and there were still many things coming in one after another, at least making this space look like a place where people can live. But for Yue Qingyan, the time he had to withstand frequent disturbances these days, and it was just right before the creation that could not be disturbed, do the preparations first.

For an author, what are the preparations for writing a novel?

Goldfinger and other things are actually not necessary for online articles. This thing can determine how the character establishes and consolidates its advantages, but in the middle and late stages, any novel that determines the texture of the novel still returns to the character's personality: how a character will say and do it, how to treat friends and enemies, how to deal with crises and risks, how to plan for the long term, etc. If an author can write a good character how to do these things, it can be considered a decent author. But this is not enough.

At best, it is just the growth of a character, not fate. A good story, the character can never go through everything smoothly. Then, something called fate is the pressure the author can put on the protagonist. What is a little white stream? It is nothing more than the whole process of the confrontation between the protagonist and fate. The protagonist has the advantage and is becoming more and more dominant. However, Yue Qingyan does not want to write such a novel.

He never wrote a pure little essay in his previous life, and he still won't even write a pure little essay until now. So what is he going to write? Or the struggle between the individual and the great times, and the process of being involved and being shattered in the irreversible great momentum. In the whole process, fate prevails. A character's most profound charm and irreplaceable personality are all displayed in adversity.

But there are too many characters, too many scenes, and too many details that need to be considered. Moreover, it is precisely because he is familiar with and understands this book enough, and it can even be said to be his enlightenment in writing that he is becoming more and more aware of all the advantages and disadvantages of this book. Now, if he has the opportunity to reshape this book, can he go to a higher level and push the book to a higher peak from a high point?

He spent more than a week writing the main line of the timeline, the branch line and the various linkages between each other. This document alone had nearly 30,000 words. Then, there were various biography of characters. The main characters had biography, as well as various dates, time, preferences, etc. settings, and personality descriptions. Even the supporting roles, even the supporting roles had at least a keyword definition. The character document soared to 50,000 words in more than a week.

Although writing settings is different from writing novels, you are not so picky about the text and can write casually. However, over a week, these documents still shocked everyone who is concerned about Yue Qingyan's work.

Moersheng went to Yue Qingyan's studio every now and then. She called this place a studio. The main purpose was to make Yue Qingyan feel that it was a work-oriented place, so she would not stop her from going there again and again. Yue Qingyan did not care about this matter, but if someone came, he would come. He was completely in work and could not extricate himself. He didn't even have much thought to pay attention to whether there was one more person at home.

Every time Mooresheng sorted out the settings of Yue Qingyan's writing and painting in categories and sent a copy of the manuscript to the Mingqian editorial department. With the help of the Mingqian editorial department, many manuscripts were electronicized in advance, which reduced Yue Qingyan's problems. However, Yue Qingyan's preparation of the document and doing more than 100,000 words still attracted great attention from everyone. In fact, when you look at the settings, you know which characters are going to die, but everyone is really looking forward to how these characters die in the plot.

It was precisely because of expectations that Mingqian simply wrote a book. While waiting for Yue Qingyan's manuscript, he began to contact the illustrator and the online platform, preparing to do a solid job in many aspects from the beginning. Finally, before the main text began to be written, Yue Qingyan compiled the preparation documents through the editorial department, with 270,000 words and more than 200 charts. Among them, the timeline and story summary are about 50,000 words. Various characters set 140,000 words, and a large number of characters only mentioned names, identities and keywords. Various forces, camp relationships and historical settings are 50,000 words. Different styles of style trial drafts, 30,000 words... All these preparations alone can publish the book. Mingqian was exactly what he planned. Once the book became popular, the original materials alone, combined with some illustrations and photos, was enough to make fans crazy.

Yue Qingyan took a rest for more than a week before officially starting writing. He was writing this story with a completely pious heart. A great masterpiece that was admired by people in his previous life, he tried to push it higher with his own abilities.

"In 2801, the center of political unification moved from Earth, the third planet of the solar system, to Deoria, the second planet of the Taurus system. The humans who issued the declaration of the founding of the Galaxy Federation there changed their era to the first year of the universe in the same year and began to expand endlessly to the depths and borders of the Milky Way. After the 3700s AD, the most prominent feature was the continuous war and order, which led to a complete pause in human development, just like an energy that was about to explode, and a profound crisis was being poured out.

The "Three Beautiful Gods" that allow humans to fly between stars - subspace jumping navigation, gravity control and inertial control technology - are developing rapidly and constantly improving. In order to explore the unknown space world, humans are sailing spacecraft and sailing to the other end of the starry sea.

"Go forward! Go forward again!"

This is the common language of people in that era."

The novel begins like this, called "The Legend of the Galaxy". The first "Dawn" has an increase of more than 50,000 words compared to the original work. "The Legend of the Galaxy" is a Virgo of Yoshiki Tanaka. Later, I saw that there are still many places that can be modified and improved. Moreover, the style of "The Legend of the Galaxy" is still too Japanese. Even after the translation is revised, it will not be improved. If it is first released in the domestic market, especially for the current reading speed and readers' tastes, there are many places that need to be adjusted.

First of all, it is the description of the environment and worldview. "Yinying" gives people the feeling that the characters are great, but the scenes are not in the sense of presence. This is also related to the times. On the one hand, Yoshiki Tanaka is in an era when science fiction in the universe has not yet fully emerged. He is a historical fan, but there are still some obstacles to how to build a worldview of science fiction concepts. On the other hand, the various visual presentations of that year did not give him enough support and reference. But now, as a person with many years of experience in watching science fiction dramas, Yue Qingyan is able to have enough confidence in the various elements involved. Regarding starship engines, transition technology and transition formations, etc., Yue Qingyan even wrote a document to sort out the relationship between various science and technology.

Then there is the deepening of power and strategy. Many of the original power and strategy explanations are too simple, and there is not enough tension and tension.

Finally, the battle description is... a little pale and without tension.

Many of these problems are common impressions formed by Yinying fans for more than 20 years of continuous innovation and accumulation. Many of the space and details are even very good authors who wrote fan works back then, which are quite referenceable.

Yue Qingyan dared not say that these problems can be solved all of them, but at least some of them have been greatly improved.

"Dawn Chapter" finally completed the submission at the end of November. Then, it started serializing online in early December. The pseudonym used was "Yanhuo". (I have registered this pseudonym)

I can’t tell anything by just reading "Dawn", and when I first uploaded it, the popularity was extremely limited. This book was really slow to be popular. Back then, Yinying had a fax machine subscription to the purchase model. After all, in the past, there were very few other projects that could be entertained except reading. But now, readers are baptized by the modern online writing model, and their requirements for reading are different.

Fortunately, Mingqian had enough tacit understanding with the website platform, or, everyone knows, novels with such a complete architecture, and Yue Qingyan's literary and stylistic ability, are not bad. In addition to maintaining readers and carrying out continuous promotion, some settings sketches were released almost at the same time. Some were sorted out from Yue Qingyan's casual smear and allowed artists to realize it, while others invited painters to make illustrations based on the set personality and storyline.

Because of the joint promotion of Mingqian company and website platforms, the book "Legend of Galaxy Heroes" has finally entered the scope of attention of some readers one after another. Then, as the plot of this book continues to be promoted, it has become more and more attractive, and has become a typical work that readers recommend each other and recommend. After reading the first volume, I feel that it is average? Of course, let's read it down... I have to say that Mingqian company's art cooperation played a great role.

In "Yinying", there are so many handsome guys with different personalities, wearing uniforms and starry sky as the background. How handsome. And there are many male characters, so everyone has room for imagination. In the initial setting, the few painters who were illustrations consciously recommended the novels to the many painters in the illustration circle comic circle. According to the original setting, some good and leisurely painters began to draw sketches based on the plot. In the first volume, the most fun thing was of course the various daily interactions between Willie Yang and Yulian.
Chapter completed!
