Chapter 47 The Magical Little Book
After the relationship between the two was fixed at this stage, they naturally got along more ways. They didn’t have to be careful, nor did they have to think about how to get closer, and just do whatever they wanted. The two went to many places, basically discussing where to go while having breakfast, and then checking the news on their phones and going out. However, considering Fang Anxin’s legs and feet, they still didn’t take the bus much, but asked the hotel concierge to rent a car and the driver followed them. They could have asked the publishing houses that cooperated with in Tokyo to use cars, but neither of them liked to bother these unfamiliar guys, and it was easier to spend money to solve the problem. In Tokyo, chartering a car is much cheaper than taking a taxi repeatedly.
The two of them did not have much understanding of it. It doesn’t matter if Fang Anxin’s electric wheelchair had many Facebook pages, which were taken by good tourists. The key is that at a very long distance, Fang Anxin’s parents and brother were both concerned about this place.
When they sat down and rested in a cafe, they would never think that Fang Anxin's parents and brother were looking at them with high-power telescopes in the high-rise buildings three or four streets away.
Fang Jin'an looked at Fang Anxin and Yue Qingyan getting along, extremely comfortable and casual, and could hardly believe it.
"When did your sister have such a good temper?"
"How do I know?" Fang Antong took a vacation of more than ten days and simply used up his annual leave in a flash. "Isn't it that you met her that day that she made her explode? Ask me?"
"Why are you talking to you?" Chen Qing slapped Fang Antong's arm. "They really can't live together? They are all in the same hotel. Isn't it a shame to open two rooms?"
"Are you a little confident in your daughter?" Fang Antong was furious: "She is not stupid, and the relationship between them has not been close to that stage. I have learned about it quietly. Yue Qingyan is just helping to take care of him. At least the two of them are still very normal friends so far."
"It's okay to take care of An Xin for five or six days... Yue Qingyan is also amazing." Fang Jinan is amazed. He often makes Fang Anxin furious unknowingly. It's already a severely affected area. It's useless to buy all kinds of delicious and fun things. Once he was too busy and had no time to choose things by himself, so he asked the new secretary to help prepare it. As a result, he bought a pair of skirts and pants. Fang Anxin was so angry that she ignored him for several days. For him, this Yue Qingyan was simply too awesome to make Fang Anxin not furious for several days.
"They feel pretty good together. I haven't seen An Xin come out to play for so long before, so I'm quite happy. It's really rare." Chen Qing said: "In the future, you have to let An Xin come out to play more. This will make you lively and cheerful, otherwise you will be sick if you stay at home all day."
"Do you know how difficult it is to let her come out to play? Not to mention that the three of us are busier than the other, how can we make up for the holidays? Are you and my dad not working?" Fang Antong said angrily: "It's just a bestselling author like Yue Qingyan, who has enough time to be mobile, can't be too rich, at least the pressure of expenses and other things can be accompanied by him. Could it be that Anxin really takes those two at home? Then she is too lazy to come out."
"Just Yue Qingyan? Are there anyone else to play with An Xin?" Fang Jinan said hesitantly: "A boy, even if he is more mobile, he will be annoyed after serving your sister for a long time? Moreover, his books are sold well, but he still can't afford to support An Xin because of this."
"You have to be able to support An Xin, you have no problem with career and character, and you also need time and motivation to have time and ability, and you have a good personality and can take care of people..." Fang Antong complained: "You have so many requirements. Moreover, this Yue Qingyan has a girlfriend. She is good-looking, has excellent academic performance and has a good personality. Although Yue Qingyan is really not rich, it is not necessarily useful to spend money. Why do you think people like An Xin? You shouldn't think about this at all. Isn't it good for them to be friends?"
"Oh? I heard a statement recently." Chen Qing looked a little playful: "German Orthopedics... I always feel your attitude, do I want to book a ward for you?"
"Hey! Mom, stop talking nonsense." Fang Antong was almost angry. How could his biological parents tease his son and daughter like this?
"What should I do?" Chen Qing sighed. "Actually, this Yue Qingyan is really good. Who can think of being able to take good care of your sister and being so happy?"
"He has not written the manuscript recently, and the previous book should have been finished." Fang Antong also has a good understanding of the profession of authors and sighed and said, "Anyway, don't worry about this. If An Xin really wants to be with him, let's talk about it now, now we just come and see if nothing happens."
Fang Antong knows a lot about Yue Qingyan. The public opinion recently created by Yinying has some connection with their department and has been paying attention. Fang Antong can calculate how much money Yue Qingyan has earned. Of course, the author can rely on investment, cooperation, etc. to increase the value of assets, but these all take time. Yue Qingyan is still far from being able to support Fang Anxin.
Moreover, the question for a best-selling author is how to maintain long-term best-selling, and one book can become popular if you write one. If Yue Qingyan can continue to write a long-selling as successful as "Yinying", there is no problem. But no one can guarantee that it will be a best-selling. Yue Qingyan's short story is very good, but the short story can't be sold at all. "The Soul-Broken Gun" is one vote in the selection of the best short story, but this vote is more than ten times less commercial value than this short story? If you can win awards such as the best short story last year, film and television companies, etc., then it is still certain that this short story will be sold for hundreds of thousands. "Red Rose and White Rose" and "Your Name" are similar. There is hope for changing film and television animations. If you do something else, the current domestic business form cannot support it.
However, for Fang Antong, he also knew that he was treating Yue Qingyan as an important object of investigation after careful calculation and consideration.
However, for the moment, since Fang Anxin is having a good time, it’s better to keep going.
After running around for a few days and doing a lot of research, Yue Qingyan's small book was already full of writing. He also had to add some scenes and character sketches made by Fang Anxin.
Relying on Yue Qingyan's story, Fang Anxin has already gained a preliminary understanding of the "Ikebukuro West Guest Park" series. Although the scale of this series is not as large as that of "Yinying", it is indeed much more meticulous. Those who are scheduled to write and the typical problems they encounter are really sad. Moreover, the entire story series is mainly about young people's stories, which always makes people feel that similar people and similar situations have appeared around them. Fang Anxin, who has always been indifferent to her peers and other groups, has been brought into an extremely rich world by this story series.
But so many materials are on the same notebook, which makes Fang Anxin a little worried: "You keep the notebook safe, don't throw it around everywhere. What if it is lost? Especially if other authors pick it up, it will be over?"
"It's okay. I can't use it if I pick it up." Yue Qingyan said calmly.
"So sure?" Fang Anxin asked, "What do you think?"
"Where is the author's recognition? Have you ever thought about it?" Yue Qingyan looked professional.
"Oh? What does it mean?" Fang Anxin still prioritizes art work after all. Although she has studied a lot, she is not a professional after all.
"The gap between professional and non-professional is here in every industry. As long as the quality of what I write is guaranteed and there are no other problems to disturb you, you will feel comfortable reading it. However, even if it is the same story, if I am in a bad state and the things I write are awkward, you will complain about it, and you won't think that I was looking for someone to write for you, right?"
Fang Anxin thought for a while and nodded.
"I have both talked about this, Kaka and Ersheng, the issue of author recognition is that the exact same story, even if it is written completely according to the outline, everyone still writes differently. The more powerful the author is, the greater the difference between what he writes."
Unable to refute, Fang Anxin continued to nod.
"So, I have always said that writing is actually a process of constantly controlling the release of information. What is a novelty article? It means that when it comes to the release of information, it does not do too much processing, and uses a more direct way to release information. A lot of information is actually not daily, and is separated from the scope of our daily life experience. That is just information. However, at a certain level, the author can control the release of this information and attach many other things. Emotions are the most basic add-ons. The description of people, scenery, and everything is actually subjective and colorful. The degree to which this kind of thing resonates is stronger than simple information."
"Then, what is added are ideas, feelings, positions, ideology, etc....all kinds of increasingly advanced things. The resonance they arouses is not just about empathy, but many are identification and identification on these levels. When you and an author can identify on such issues, what does it mean? It means that one or more of your thinking depth, class sense, care for society, ideology, economic position and political position are consistent. The author is your own person... you will think so."
"So, how do these things convey? In fact, they are all so-called redundant information that has nothing to do with the plot, or to say it more easily: idle writing. The use of specific words, the way of picking up words, the subtle dynamics of the characters, the language and other things. An author deduces a story, certainly, wants to make the characters move and collide in the plot through deduction, but this must lead to a certain result. Whether the world is warm or dark is itself the author's choice of position. In the final analysis, the recognition of an author comes from the way he defines a story world."
Fang Anxin was a little clear. "What do you mean is that even if others use your notebook to write, they can't write down your feelings?"
"Maybe it's better to write than me?" Yue Qingyan teased.
"Then there shouldn't be many people? Moreover, they all have their own ideas, why do you want to write your story... Oh, I understand." Fang Anxin immediately understood the logic. Those who were poorly written were confused when they got this book and were completely unable to grasp the core of this series of works. For a high-level author, the selection of materials itself is a reflection of their ability, and they don't need this at all.
Yue Qingyan's explanation reveals a kind of confidence, but also shows a possibility: I will let you understand the story, but I can't understand the story world I define. This is an extremely difficult irony method from the author.
