Rebirth, Starting from 2005

After lunch, Chen Li forced Yan Xin to chat about the novel "Shading the Sky" for more than an hour, until Xiaoyuan came to see Yan Xin's house together, and then let him go.

After Liang Wei cleaned up the dishes, she went to the study and turned on the computer that Yan Xin usually used to prepare for typing.

When Chen Li entered the study, he saw that she was staring at the computer screen in a daze, so he asked a little funny, "How many words have you written?"

Liang Wei responded embarrassingly: "I haven't decided on the title of the book yet."

"The title of the book is not that important. If you really want to write it, you can skip the title step and write the beginning directly." Chen Li said.

"I didn't think it through at the beginning." Liang Wei was even more embarrassed.

She wants to write a novel, but she just thinks that writing a novel can shorten the distance between her and Chen Li. It's not that there is such a story, and she wants to express it.

Actually nothing.

There's no story to tell, no characters to describe, not even an emotion to express.

Chen Li persuaded her: "Don't think about writing a novel right now, read a few books first, and write a story after you have conceived it."

Many readers read other people's novels and feel that writing novels is quite easy.

The writing style is not very good, I know all the characters, and the characters and storylines seem familiar.

I feel like I can do it, and I even feel that I can write much better than that idiot author.

But when I really started to write, I realized that I didn't know how to start.

Some start by imitating other people's novels, while others disdain to imitate other people's novels. The things they write are messy, and they are published on the website without clicks.

Chen Li has been in the industry for such a long time, and he has seen many such people.

He personally disapproves of Liang Wei's writing novels, but if she wants to try, then don't pour cold water on her, lest she become an enemy in time and feel that he is hindering her development.

So he still put forward his own suggestion, and hoped that she could write tens of thousands of words, knowing that this bowl of rice was not so delicious, and retreated despite the difficulties.

Liang Wei couldn't think of any other good way, so she could only log out from the code page, log in to a novel website, and search for novels in the homepage recommendation.

Chen Li looked at it and said to her:

"If you want to find novels that are popular in the market, you don't need to look at the recommendations on the homepage. Those are basically for new books, and they may not really produce results. If you are looking for novels on the rankings, that is the real one. A novel recognized by the market. Of course, you are here for literature, so just pretend I didn’t say anything.”

Liang Wei let out an oh, and started looking for books on the ranking list.

She landed on a female video novel website, found the number one novel from a certain list, and clicked to enter.

Instead of reading it right away, I went back to the bedroom and found a notebook to record my experience while reading it.

Chen Li thought to himself: "It's kind of like that."

He was not so serious when he read the novel.

I was not so serious when I was writing a novel.

I didn't bother with it any more, turned on the computer, and started typing.

"Fights Break Sphere" has only written more than four million words. According to their plan, it will take seven to eight million words to complete the book, and there is still nearly half of the content to be written.

Yan Xin placed high hopes on this book, and told Chen Li that even if the book "Shading the Sky" was written, the income it brought would not be comparable to that of "Fights Break the Sphere", so it must be taken seriously.

The benefits that this book can bring are too great, even if you don't have the passion for creation, you still have to write it down.

He coded words very fast, snapping, dancing with his fingers, each character was typed out.

Before he knew it, two or three hours passed, and he coded tens of thousands of characters.

During this process, Liang Wei was reading the novel while taking notes in the notebook with a pen.

Chen Li finished writing three chapters, stretched his already sore shoulders, and then went to see Liang Wei. The notes were two pages long, and he had only read about ten chapters of a novel.

Can't help laughing: "You are really careful."

Liang Wei blushed: "You shouldn't look at it like this, should you?"

"No," Chen Li said, "It's good that you're doing this, keep at it, and you'll know how to write novels in a short time."

He didn't pay attention to what Liang Wei wrote, but just glanced at it, feeling that it was written seriously.

Just because of this earnestness, he felt that this person might really be able to earn a living by writing in the future.

As for whether it will be a hit, frankly speaking, no one can guarantee it.

This thing is not purely a matter of strength, sometimes luck is also very important.

But with this earnestness, if you continue, it will be absolutely fine to eat this bowl of rice.

This made him respect Liang Wei more.

At the same time, I also murmured in my heart: "If you have this kind of seriousness when you are studying, why can't you pass the exam in a famous university?"

——Many people are like this. When it's time to study, they don't want to study, they just want to play.

After entering the society and being hammered by reality, I regretted that I didn't study hard and missed the best time.

It is much more difficult to learn something after this than it was when I was on campus.

Liang Wei is like this, and Chen Li himself is like this.

Looking at the time, it was already five o'clock in the afternoon, so she reminded Liang Wei: "Put down what you have now, it's getting late, and it's time to buy vegetables and cook."

Liang Wei let out a groan, then remembered her identity, closed the notebook, and shut down the computer.

While doing this, I asked Chen Li: "How many people are going to prepare meals for tonight?"

"Wait a minute, I'll call and ask."

As Chen Li said, he took out his mobile phone and called Yan Xin: "Do you and Xiao Yuan want to come here for dinner tonight?"

Yan Xin: "I'll come over later."

After hanging up the phone, Chen Li said to Liang Wei, "Meals for four people."

Liang Wei hummed and got up to go shopping.

"Wait a minute." Chen Li stopped her again.

Liang Wei looked at him, not understanding why she was called to stop.

Chen Li took a few hundred dollars out of his pocket: "The food money given to you earlier should be enough, right? Take this, buy something delicious, and come to me when you don't have enough money."

Liang Wei didn't take the money, and said, "There's still more than 400 food money left."

As he spoke, he opened the notebook again, and showed it to Chen Li:

"This is the account for my grocery shopping in the past few days. Everything is recorded here. You gave me one thousand yuan, and there are still more than four hundred that have not been used up. It can still be used for a few days."

Chen Li was stunned for a moment, but still gave her the several hundred dollars in his hand: "I've given it to you, so you can take it, anyway, you'll need it in the future."

Liang Wei snorted, took the money, and wrote down another amount in the notebook.

Chen Li couldn't help laughing and said: "Why remember this? I don't even trust you with a few vegetables."

Liang Wei said: "It's better to keep it in mind, how much money was spent, so I can know in my heart."

Chen Li had no choice: "Then you just remember."

He knew that some nannies hired by some families would embezzle the money for grocery shopping, but he really didn't care about the money. If Liang Wei took some money from it for her own use, he wouldn't have any objections.

He even hoped that Liang Wei could get more money, which could be regarded as an equivalent transaction.

On the contrary, this kind of every expense is recorded on the account, which makes him feel a little bit sorry.

After Liang Wei left, he sat on the chair and was a little dazed: "This woman... well, actually, this woman is quite nice... If I met in another scene, that would be great..."
