: Volume 4 Summary

It's time to summarize this volume again.
One hundred and twenty-two five thousand words were written in this volume accidentally.
It is the volume with the most words.
From mid-January to mid-July, a full six months, six months.
As a result, the total number of words in this book has exceeded 3.5 million words.
However, this book does not use the number of words to determine the direction of the plot and when it will end.
So 3.5 million words doesn't mean it's near the end. Actually, the story in my mind is just over half of the story.
After all, Hu Lai and his partners have only participated in the World Cup for the first time, how can it be finished quickly?
Wouldn't it be a waste of the first three volumes?
In short, everyone must be patient. It's a long story. This is really a long story.
I strive to write all my thoughts and what I want to say in this story.
After all, for me, this is a work I want to explain to myself in my nearly two decades of online football writing career. I will not be perfunctory, nor will I rush to finish the book.
Even if some people say that I am watery or that I write verbosely, I still insist on it.
Because after I finish writing and look back, I will find that it is not a book, but a world.
Back to the fourth volume.
Let me talk about the most controversial plot recently, that is, the result of the Chinese team's 3:3 draw with Brazil at the end of the World Cup.
In fact, before writing the story of the World Cup, I have been hesitating and worrying.
That is whether I have the courage to write a detailed "failure".
This "failure" is not a certain game, but the entire plot-because there is no group qualifying, there is no refreshing final result, so for the reader, this is an invalid plot, and it is naturally a failure.
It's not that I haven't written about failure before, after all, I haven't written a story about never losing.
But in the past, when dealing with these failure scenarios, I usually used some update techniques or writing techniques to obscure the failure and avoid this "thunder spot."
For example, I did a one-off, try to expose the matter in a short space, or adjust the timeline directly. After six months of professionalism, the protagonist has already suffered setbacks and is ready to slap in the face.
For example, in "The Winner is King", Changsheng transferred from Valencia to coach in Rome, but he encountered Waterloo in Rome and was kicked out after only half a year. I just used a news review to give a brief explanation, focusing on the plot of his choice to go to Lazio to play Roman face.
Because I know that readers don't like to look at the abuser, and they also know that the abuser is actually to get the protagonist behind to slap his face back, which belongs to the "suppression" of wanting to promote and suppress.
Now that everyone knows it, why waste pen and ink in the frustration plot to add to the blockage for everyone? Anyway, the frustration is just to create a reason for the protagonist.
Then just write the part of the backhand slap. The reason for slapped face should be known to the reader, so there is no need to write it in detail.
In this way, the emotions are mobilized, and the results are good.
Until now, this processing technique has been correct, indeed. Business.
When I wrote "The Godfather of Champions", I wrote about Tony Dunn's first Champions League final in detail, very detailed, pre-match and post-match... Then let Nottingham Forest replace Arsenal and repeat the 2006 Champions League. The plot of the final, lost to Barcelona.
When I wrote this, it was really cool, especially when Tony threw the silver medal to a little caddy at the end, I felt so cool...
But when it was sent out, it was scolded by readers.
How terrible is the scolding?
It was so miserable that I couldn't stand it even dancing. I came to my book review area and posted a long review to help me explain it and speak for me on my platform...
Then he was scolded along with me...
Despite the fact that many people now say that "The Godfather of Champions" is the most classic football, in fact, until the end of the serialization, the evaluation of "The Godfather of Champions" was not as high as it is now. At that time, it was not as good as "We are the Champions." I remember this very clearly.
Little Gavin’s death led to the failure of the Super League. After being dismissed from the position of the head coach of the first team, he did not "leave my father here" but returned to coach the youth team. The Champions League final followed the historical inertia and lost to Barcelona. The reunion with Tang means that one more person knows the secret of the protagonist’s journey, a sudden heart attack forcibly creates setbacks and suppresses the protagonist, breaks with the club owner and leaves Nottingham Forest, and then returns to Nottingham Forest with a shy face... In fact, there are a lot of plots in it. At that time, it was thundering and controversy continued-I am not saying to evaluate it with the current pace of online writing, but just under the aesthetic system of online writing at that time. These are things that are not pleasing to readers.
As for my commentary, there are more...
As for "We are the Champions", let alone, that is, everyone was tolerant at the time. Now, it is estimated that Zhang Jun’s Notre Dame character alone is enough to disgust many people...not to mention that I even let Yang Pan The Chinese team deliberately lost the game against Japan in order to kill the leaders of the Chinese Football Association at the time-think about the public opinion storm caused by the fact that the Chinese football team lost 1:5 to the Thai youth team and forced Camacho to get out. Just know how "virulent" this plot is...
So after seventeen years of writing about football and business, I know very well what is the point of lightning, it is best not to touch it. If you must write, what techniques should be used to cover up the past to minimize the discomfort of readers.
That’s why I hesitated for a long time before the World Cup plot:
Do I dare to write a "failure" in detail?
According to my experience, I know that letting the Chinese team out of the World Cup group match will definitely upset the readers-yes, this book is different from other footballs at the starting point. Other football readers have asked the author not to write about the national football. This is my book. Everyone asked me to be bold when writing about the national football team, and to be more yelling... to cover my face.
This of course also shows that I actually wrote about the national football in the book, and the writing made people willing to place hope on them.
This is actually a compliment to me.
But at the same time, it also gave me tremendous pressure.
If I didn't let the Chinese team qualify, would it attract a lot of bad reviews?
Of course, despite such scruples, I did not change the outline to say that the Chinese team should qualify.
In my initial design, the first World Cup of the Chinese team was to go home after the group stage.
What I hesitate about is whether I dare or not, not whether or not.
Write still needs to be written, and to write in detail.
Write a World Cup that is doomed to no results.
At least on the surface it seems to be fruitless.
But in my mind, I know that although the World Cup did not make it to the knockout stage, it was not a meaningless failure.
On this point, in the chapter of Shi Wuyin's debriefing report, I used his mouth to express my views-if I can leave a fire for the future national football team, then it will be worthwhile to fail.
But how to define this "failure"?
As some readers have said, it is acceptable to score into the knockout rounds and then meet France. It is acceptable to simply lose.
This is of course a failure.
But I think this is not a failure for the Chinese team in the main line of the World Cup in this book. After all, the first time you participate in the World Cup, you can make it to the knockout round, and you still lose to the powerful French team. How can it be considered a failure?
It was simply a "honorable victory".
In this way, readers will not feel the slightest pity emotionally.
Because it is normal to lose, you should lose.
My so-called "failure" should be regrettable, and people think it shouldn't be like this. In fact, it should be better. It's a pity, a little suffocated...
Someone will definitely ask: Why is this happening? Isn't this going against the reader?
Of course I am not working against the readers. After all, "The Fox in the Forbidden Zone" is still a cool text in essence...
It's just that I think the "failure" in this World Cup is very important to the national team in the book, these international players.
This involves one of the themes of my book—growth.
Everyone is growing, Hu Lai is growing, Hu Lai's father is growing, Xie Lan is growing, Wang Guangwei, Zhang Qinghuan, Chen Xingyi, Luo Kai... and many more people are growing.
The small team in Leeds is also growing.
The Chinese team and Chinese football are naturally growing.
In the campus chapter, I have described the reform and growth of Chinese football through the development of campus football.
But this is not enough.
Falling into the group of "national football", in fact, there is no growth-so far.
They are just a group composed of individual characters, and they have not formed a common consciousness.
But they can't always be like this. In the future, they are bound to grow up and change.
This positive growth is not the growth of strength, but the growth of the heart.
Chen Xingyi, Zhang Qinghuan, Luo Kai, Wang Guangwei, Xia Xiaoyu...their strengths are actually growing, and their hearts are also becoming stronger. But this is as a "professional player", not as a "national footballer". The two are very different.
Professional players play to make money, for their various goals and ideals. The international football is for more metaphysical things.
Some readers said that the reason for their discomfort was not the Chinese team’s inability to get out of the game, but the way of getting out. It felt too easy to be satisfied, not willing to win, and gave up early. When both the draw and the loss are out, why not? Fight for it?
This makes them feel that this team does not have a "championship heart" at all, and the title of that chapter is like a great irony.
I have to say that this reader is very right. The Chinese team presented is indeed like this, and it is also the effect I hope to write-let you see these things, then it means that I wrote quite well, and the goal was achieved... …laugh.
Have you noticed that this book is now 3.5 million characters long, and only the protagonist Hu Lai clearly stated that his goal is to win the World Cup.
Others, even Wang Guangwei, Zhang Qinghuan, Chen Xingyi, Luo Kai and others have not shown their goals and ambitions in their international career.
In Volume Three, Chapter 117, "Hu Lai's Ambition", I used the dialogue between Hu Lai, Zhang Qinghuan and Ding Yuanhai to show this difference.
Ding Yuanhai felt that even if he didn't enter the World Cup this time, it wouldn't matter. Anyway, with Hu Lai and their abilities, the next World Cup qualifiers will definitely be interesting.
But Hu Lai was anxious, because in four years, Huan Ge will be 28 years old, and Huan Ge, who is at the age of twenty-eight, can only participate in the World Cup for the first time and gain experience.
Isn't this a waste?
He hopes that the Chinese team can participate in the World Cup every year, so that Huan Ge's talent will not be wasted.
His ambition frightened his lack of lofty ambitions, and he just wanted to make Ding Yuanhai a good game.
It also made Zhang Qinghuan, once the number one genius in China, lost his mind-because the Chinese team can participate in the World Cup every time, even he can't imagine.
Because he hadn't thought about it at all, he didn't have this consciousness. Even to play the World Cup, he is more to fulfill his father's expectations.
The old players of the Chinese team in this World Cup, such as Jiang Wanqing and Yao Huasheng, also performed very well. I spent some pen and ink describing their persistence and performance, and also described their joy in the face of a draw.
For these old players who are likely to be the only ones in this World Cup, the future of Chinese football is not in them, so it doesn't matter whether they grow up or not, it doesn't matter what they will do in the future.
At this stage, most of the national team players are actually the same as them. They have no ambitions in the World Cup, nor do they have a clear goal like Hu Lai, saying that I want to win the World Cup.
Their thoughts are actually like this-"Being able to participate once is enough for Lao Tzu to be awesome for a lifetime. What kind of bicycles do you need?"
"It's Lao Tzu's highlight to be able to draw with Brazil 3:3. What kind of bikes are needed!"
"I have no regrets in my career without losing the World Cup. What bikes do I need?"
Of course, Zhang Qinghuan and Wang Guangwei will not only participate in the World Cup once, but they also lack self-awareness in this matter. They don't think that failing to qualify in this group stage is a failure, or they never even thought about qualifying in the World Cup group.
Because when you think about it in that world, you will feel that in fact, the performance of the Chinese team in this World Cup is enough to make the Chinese feel proud.
Suppose, suppose that in the 2002 World Cup, the Chinese team drew 2:2 with Costa Rica, 1:1 with Turkey, 3:3 with Brazil, and then the group was out... Then as fans, we should scold them when they were against Brazil. To shrink the defense at the last moment and just want to keep the tie is to surrender in advance, or chanting "national football is awesome"?
In the end, some people will feel sorry for not qualifying, but they will definitely regret it. But to say regret and regret will turn into accusing these players of not being hard enough and embarrassing. Like some readers, they say very radical things and think that the national football is forcibly feeding them...I think that is impossible.
So in all fairness, the thoughts and performance of these players in the book are normal-some readers said why they didn't fight when they knew that one fight would be able to qualify?
The problem is that the players don't think they should go to qualify, they are satisfied with the status quo.
Moreover, objectively, the Chinese team was exhausted at the time, and it was not easy to tie the score in the end. Indeed, there is no spare energy to attack and grab a ball-all their remaining strength can only be used to defend.
Didn't they fight to the end? They fought to the end, but they didn't squeeze themselves any further, and didn't force themselves any more.
Because at the time they were completely acceptable to a draw, and they didn't think there was anything bad about a draw.
But is the criticism of those readers wrong?
No.
After all, we are the God who overlooks them. We have a God's perspective. We naturally know that they can actually go to the team to qualify.
And as readers, it's normal for us to have higher demands on these characters who are placed in affection. We hope that they can fight to the last minute like fighters. We hope that they have lofty goals and pursuits. We hope that they can represent the valuable sportsmanship in football...
There is nothing wrong with this, it is reasonable, and it should be so required-after all, we just want to appreciate the great heroism among human beings.
That's why everyone was upset that the Chinese team didn't fight for a qualifying spot at the last moment.
I feel that they have failed their expectations and trust.
They really should be like this, and they will eventually become like this.
but not now.
Because of growth.
They are not perfect characters with high-level interest, lofty goals, firm beliefs, and strong execution ability as soon as they appear.
They are living people with their own selfishness, various shortcomings, and historical limitations.
In the first World Cup, they were still ignorant. They thought it would be good to be able to participate in the World Cup once. They felt that they would be able to beat Brazil for a lifetime. They did not have the scary ambition of Hu Lai, or that their hearts were actually too Disagree with Hu Lai's goal.
Hu Lai must also know that, so he never asks others for his goals-I have never written that Hu Lai talks about his inner ideals like a missionary, and persuades people to join him for Chinese football everywhere. In the future, fight for the World Cup title-because it is a kind of moral kidnapping.
Their hard work on the court is not because they have a kind of self-awakening, but because they are professional players. They have the most basic professional qualities. Since they are on the court, they must play well.
That's it.
And to put it ugly, with such a basic requirement, in reality it is difficult for many players-not only domestic players, but also players around the world-so that the mass media will often praise a certain player. The "professional spirit" of a player.
To put it bluntly, it is still the kind of small pattern of "I have finally participated in a World Cup, how can I be worthy of myself if I don't go all out".
There is no deep consciousness of "I want to change the future of Chinese football".
All critical readers are right to criticize their team, because they are such a group of "low-level" people.
In fact, most professional players are actually such people, and they don't have much ambition, and they don't have too lofty morality and lofty goals.
Not to mention the players, even the managers of Chinese football in the book have not yet been so conscious. Through Hong Renjie’s words, I expressed the attitude of the Chinese Football Association that
if I can make it to the World Cup finals next year, That's fine."... That is to say, the goal of Chinese football managers is only to participate in the World Cup again.
Of course, it's not wrong. After all, it was almost impossible for Chinese football to even participate in the World Cup. It is impossible to ask them to suddenly burst out of ambition-in fact, they are not as good as the football managers of neighboring Japan. So their pattern is actually small.
Therefore, both in reality and in the book, Japanese football has made great progress and has become the big brother of Asian football.
The Chinese football in the book has undergone reforms and changes, but some things are not so easy to change. I also don't want to write a reform that can suddenly change my mind and come out with an impeccable perfect football association in all aspects.
If some readers say, "I didn't think of these things you said, when I watched this plot, I think it's natural and completely acceptable"...That's right, it's good.
Because if you really integrate into the world of this book and substitute yourself as a fan in the book, instead of the omniscient and omnipotent "God", then of course you will feel that this performance and results are very good and satisfactory enough.
The reason why I didn’t try my best to pave the way in the World Cup plot. Finally, they couldn’t get out of the group. After evoking the excitement of the readers, they did not comment from the perspective of "God", and did psychological construction for the readers for the results that the group could not appear in three consecutive stages... In fact, in order not to interrupt this immersive reading experience.
It even included why I wrote these three games in detail, as if it were a text version of the live broadcast, and wrote some fragments that did not result in a goal or a turning point in the game... This is all for the readers to have a real impression. It feels like watching a real World Cup match.
So I see everyone’s book review area and points in this chapter...I’m very pleased-isn’t it like in reality that everyone bothered to count the scores for the National Football Team in the top forty matches?
I think everyone can have such a reaction, which shows that I really wrote this team truthfully, writing so that everyone is willing to accept them, willing to worry about and look forward to their fate in the World Cup.
The arguments and different opinions on whether the team can qualify or not also illustrate this point.
It now appears that it was actually successful.
Some people were so immersed that they couldn't accept that the Chinese team didn't fight at the end.
Some people are so immersed that they feel satisfied with the ability of the Chinese team to draw the Brazil team 3:3.
People from different angles can read their own feelings, all because of their different perceptions of the world.
And this world is real, even if it exists in the book.
Let’s go back to myself and continue to talk about my various foreshadowings and metaphors:
In the book, I named the football "The Heart of Champions" and asked He Feng to explain the meaning of the name. Is it to praise them for having a heart of champions?
No, it's because the previous group did not have a champion heart!
They need this heart.
Therefore, the referee gave Hu Lai the football named "Championship Heart" and also gave the Chinese team a "Championship Heart"-this is a metaphor I left in the book.
It was like a walking dead body, injected with soul and put into the heart. From this moment on, they really had the hope of becoming "human".
It is possible to complete transformation and...growth in the future.
Yes, grow.
Consciously and voluntarily chasing their highest ideals in the World Cup.
So even though they are now elated after the 3:3 draw with Brazil, they cheered and celebrated, which made some readers look very unhappy.
But who can guarantee that one day in the future, when they recollect the excitement of tying Brazil with Brazil for the first time in the World Cup, they will not regret and feel ashamed for their elation at the time?
Who can say that they will not be upset: if I gritted my teeth again, if I could seize the time to make a sudden one... Maybe we could cross the insurmountable mountain of Brazil and enter a new world?
When they have this kind of consciousness, the silent "championship heart" really begins to throb in their chests.
In the World Cup arena, they have a stronger motivation to move forward and continue to walk.
Therefore, the title and interpretation of the chapter "Championship" is not to praise them, but to expect and entrust them.
This brings me back to the reason why I wrote this World Cup story in detail.
Can I not know that the result of the bamboo basket should not be a big book, but should be quickly pulled to avoid readers' uncomfortable?
Didn’t I know that it would be very uncomfortable to not let everyone release it after hanging up everyone’s emotions before?
Do I know that I should use my previous effective techniques to blur the uncomfortable places?
Could I know that letting the Chinese team enter the knockout round and then lose to the French team without any regrets can make readers' comments better? Maybe your subscription score is better?
I know, I know all.
But I still want to write about this group of people's first World Cup in detail, even if the final group did not qualify.
Because this is a "mature gift" for a group of people.
"The ritual of becoming a man", not "the ritual of becoming an adult"
If I don’t write them in detail, but just give them a brief summary, using the tone of a news review to introduce the results, or write that the Chinese team lost 0:3 to Brazil... Then how can I let everyone see the current face of these people and see their hearts What about the "small"?
If you don't see these, how can you rejoice in their growth and transformation in the future?
Does it just depend on me to say "they have grown up"?
Was He Feng's speech when Zhang Qinghuan was off the court only for Zhang Qinghuan?
of course not.
It was also given to this group of players.
They are not perfect people, and sometimes they are not even good people.
They have shortcomings, and some shortcomings make everyone hate them.
But as long as it is human, there must be shortcomings.
The important thing is not not to have shortcomings, but how to deal with the shortcomings of yourself and the imperfect life.
Everyone’s
shortcuts
on straight and detours, mistakes, and stupid things that everyone has ever taken have become their own in the end.
The true maturity is not the pursuit of perfection, but the confrontation of one's own shortcomings.
Verify the truth of life, realize that you are not as good as you think you are, and then continue to love life, love yourself, and move forward.
For me, it is also one of the life perceptions I want to express in the book...
In fact, it's not just this group of international footballers. Every character in my book is basically like this. They are imperfect and have shortcomings. Some shortcomings may be annoying and fatal for readers.
For example, Li Ziqiang's extreme selfishness in protecting her daughter, such as Hu Lixin's cowardice and arbitrariness, and Xie Lan, also have shortcomings. She is sometimes too selfish and does not care about the feelings of her husband. If readers substitute Hu Lixin, she will feel that his wife sometimes Annoying...
Shi Wuyin also has his own selfishness, he is not as magnificent as everyone thinks-otherwise, why would he not renew his contract with the Football Association after he finished the World Cup and have to retreat? Why not do your best for Chinese football and die? Doesn't he know that after he is gone, the performance of the Chinese team may fluctuate? He knew it, but he still didn't renew his contract because he regretted his name. He was afraid that his fame might not be guaranteed during the festival. That's why he said to Hong Renjie "I have no ability and no motivation to lead the national team to go on." He has no ability to improve his ability, but no motivation... He has no motivation himself, how can you let him renew his contract and let him continue? Bring this team?
After the reform, the Chinese Football Association will also have bureaucracy. In the plot of deciding whether to let Shi Wuyin continue to coach the national team to play in the top twelve matches, I have seen many readers who are very upset with the performance of the Football Association in Zhang Shuo. Very good, I just hope you guys think so...
Even the protagonist Hu Lai is absolutely imperfect. There are many faults, some are innocuous, but some are actually personality defects-this is felt by the readers at the beginning, and they hate it, and feel that the protagonist is very insignificant. hate.
When creating each character in this book, I remind myself repeatedly-don't write them as perfect characters with all-knowing and omnipotent, and deliberately write about their shortcomings and faults, and deliberately write about their mistakes-because I hate such characters. , It is innocent and non-human. Since I hate such characters, naturally I can't write stories about such characters.
Therefore, when Shi Wuyin and Clark both fainted, when there was nothing they could do, when they surrendered, they did not always pursue victory like everyone's ideal sports figures, and always struggle to the last second.
I know that this old-school approach is unpopular in the current aesthetic environment of online texts.
What everyone wants to see is that everyone will not hold back the protagonist, they are absolutely reasonable, and they can't find faults when they are in the world... To put it bluntly, why is this because of the "sense of security."
Because these characters only do this to make readers feel safe ~ EbookFREE.me~ is comfortable and cool. The results are naturally good.
After all, everyone reads for the pursuit of ease and refreshment.
If readers don’t feel safe, they are upset and won’t read it.
As a reader, this is also the case.
But as an author, I have my own pursuit.
So I insist on this thankless way of writing.
Only because I think those characters should be human beings. Only when they are human can they collide with each other to produce stories, affect emotions, and finally form a convincing world.
Of course, I will try my best to maintain a balance, and while sticking to myself, I will not give up the general direction that makes the reader cool. That's why I let the Chinese team remain unbeaten in the World Cup, and it is the only team that remains unbeaten. Otherwise, I might have lost the Chinese team to Algeria in the first game-I did think so in my original plan.
I also know that blindly sticking to my own things may not always resonate, and sometimes it is out of date. If I don't want to pounce on the street to death, then I'd better use commercial techniques to express my thoughts instead of running out and throwing things in front of everyone. If no one has read a copy, what is the meaning of my so-called life perceptions and thoughts?
So for me, in the process of writing this book, what I often worry about is how to write "failure" rather than "victory". After all, victory is great. As long as you keep winning, you can get all the honors you can get. What is the difficulty of writing this?
But writing it down this way will soon lose its vitality, or as the saying goes: the rhythm is not suppressed, and it collapses.
For an old author who has written 37 million words, it is not difficult for readers to feel comfortable. It is rare to keep readers interested and sticky in this book, and how to continue to find cool points in the book.
My solution in this book is to slow down the pace.
Not only put the perspective on the protagonist alone, write group portraits, so that readers can find more spiritual sustenance objects besides the protagonist.
That's why there is a campus football chapter of 700,000 characters, and two million characters are still fighting in the country.
But there are also characters other than Hu Lai, Zhang Qinghuan, Wang Guangwei, Chen Xingyi, Xie Lan, Li Ziqiang, Li Qingqing, Shi Wuyin...
When I shaped them like "filling water" before, and after describing them, waiting for the following chapters, and waiting for them to complete their respective growth, I think readers will really feel the sense of accomplishment of "scattering the sky with stars". , And rejoice in it.
Thank you everyone for not giving up, such a story with pharaoh, plot and core clichés is still doing well. I walked on thin ice, trembling, fearing that my writing might break down. I thought about each chapter word by word, trying to maintain a unified style of calligraphy and painting.
Therefore, this book may be the most tiring book I have written in so many years. I've never been like this book, can't wait to go out and play on vacation-you know I'm a thousand-year-old otaku, I will never go out if I can stay at home. But now, I think about going out to play from time to time...
Every day, not almost, every day, every day, I will write about two o'clock in the morning, and never finish writing before twelve o'clock in the evening.
Sometimes, I didn’t think about it. Don’t ask for such high standards and strict requirements. Just click on it and just write down today’s update.
But it doesn't work.
Even if I finished writing, I still felt that I couldn't write that way when I went to the bathroom before going to bed, so I went back to the computer, opened the document, and rewritten it.
In this way, I feel that this book has maintained a uniform style and level so far.
So I will continue to write so persistently, even if the process of writing is very tiring and painful, but looking at the finished product, I still have a full sense of accomplishment...
Of course, sticking to the original intention and original intention is actually easier to do when the grades are not good.
After all, no one looked at it at that time, and convinced oneself "If you can't please the reader, please please yourself", anyway, the two sides always have to occupy one, just like a stand-alone game. I actually also like to play stand-alone games-WOW can allow me to complete stand-alone...
With more people watching and better subscription results, it will be more difficult to stick to your original intentions and original intentions.
After all, when what I want to write and readers' expectations will conflict, I must hesitate.
I'm worried that I've failed everyone's expectations.
Worrying about how you handle it will offend readers.
Offending readers means losing subscriptions and poor grades.
It doesn’t matter if your grades are bad.
When you get better, you start to worry about gains and losses, and you are afraid of this and that.
Of course I hope to get good grades, and I also hope to get better grades.
I also know how to write grades to be better.
But in the end, I chose this wayward approach, as I said in the preface.
This in itself is a wayward book written by a wayward person...
Finally, I insisted on 3.5 million words. If I give up my original idea here, it will make me feel that all my previous achievements have been abandoned.
Regardless of the final grades of this book, I want to write it completely. This completeness not only means that it is not unfinished, but also means that I have written what I want to write thoroughly and write everything that should be written.
As a book, this should be a highly completed work, not a nondescript semi-finished product that swings back and forth between self-persistence and achievement.
So I’m sorry, if my handling of this book makes you feel uncomfortable and don’t want to read it, I also respect your choice. But I will still write it down.
If I want to read a particularly refreshing article, maybe I will write in the future-I don't reject the simple and rude kind of refreshing article-but this is what this book is like.
So please understand.
In short, the World Cup plot is like this.
As I said when I released the update strategy, this story is very important for the entire book. It can be said to be a key part of the link between the previous and the next.
The gains for young people in this World Cup are definitely not as simple as they think they only increase their knowledge and improve their level.
Some influences are deep-seated and won't show up until later.
But after I write down this part of the content in detail, only then can they stand up to their future changes.
Just like I insisted on writing a campus article at the beginning.
There is a truth.
There is a way to go.
It's the same on the protagonist Hu Lai, and it's the same on the other people in the book.
Of course, you don’t have to worry that I will be a young man.
Basically, the story of the World Cup is so important to me because it is really important.
It does not mean that I would describe "failure" in such detail at other times.
After all, "Fox in the Forbidden Zone" is still a qualified business in essence, and the pursuit is still cool.
I don't intend to just write about such a World Cup. I have already thought out all the follow-up arrangements. But in order not to be spoiled, I won't say anything. Anyway, everyone believes me. I am a YY writer who dared to write about the Chinese team winning the World Cup in 2006. After so many years, how many football books have written about the Chinese team winning the World Cup? I don't know, but "We Are The Champion" is definitely the first one.
I was actually very bold—everyone said that I was writing fantasy.
It's just that I always hope that while being bold in YY, I also have to be careful to make assumptions, and fill in enough credible details, so that YY will become true and credible in the end.
Even if it is YY, you must be serious about YY, not just perfunctory.
I personally think that the highest state of YY is to make people truly believe that YY is real, rather than fake.
Even if it is a high imitation, I have to make it fake. I wrote in "Do you care when I play football" that Kaka is a descendant of Chinese born in Brazil. In order to let him experience Chinese culture, my father asked him to return I went to school in China and got to know Zhang Jun and the others. After I arranged such a family and life background for this character, I wrote that some readers really thought Kaka was a Chinese, and at least he had Chinese ancestry...

Let's go back to the fourth volume.
In fact, the fourth volume has two main lines, one is Hu Lai's performance at the club, and the other is the World Cup.
Then there are many branches inside.
For example, Luo Kai.
I didn't write about Luo Kai's situation in Veronica in detail. I just used the method of mentioning it once when there was an intersection with Hu Lai. On the one hand, it avoids distracting everyone's attention and slowing down the rhythm; on the other hand, it is naturally because Luo Kai's part is like abusive essay, for commercial reasons, there is no need to write in detail.
So I am still an author who knows exactly what he should write and how to write to make readers happy.
And I am also very good at listening to opinions and self-correcting.
For example, the plot handling of Hu Lai’s transfer at the end of the third volume is because after listening to the reader’s feedback, he decided to overturn the subsequent plot and rewrite it.
But sometimes I can be very stubborn.
That's because I know what to insist on and what not to insist on.
The handling of Luo Kai is actually the arrangement of Hu Lai’s overseas career that I originally deleted at the end of the third volume-to go to a rich team, not get reused, and then rent out. The rent was originally because I didn’t adapt, I didn’t perform well, I gradually found the feeling later, but it was too late, I returned to the rich, and was rented out again... At this time Leeds took the initiative to buy out Hulai, and then everyone saw it. The contents of the original fourth volume.
But I thought for a while, and felt that this story is placed on the protagonist, that is, a naked abuser, generous, but unnecessary.
After all, this book is still cool in nature...
I do intend to slow down the rhythm, but this kind of slow-paced plot will not help to shape the characters, and it will not make the reader patient to watch, why bother? The reason why I insist on writing the story of the World Cup in detail is also because it has a profound impact on the entire international team and is a foreshadowing of the later story.
So I deleted the plot that had written tens of thousands of words and changed it to what everyone sees now.
But I don't want everyone to think that it is easy to play football abroad-so easy why is it that Qin Lin only did it once many years ago in the book?
In order to highlight the difficulty of staying abroad, since we can't express this difficulty in the protagonist, naturally we can only arrange for an important supporting role to bear it.
So there is a series of arrangements for Luo Kai after going abroad to play...
The book also expresses this meaning through the perspective of many people-don't just look at the scenery of Hulay in Leeds, think that going abroad seems to be an easy and simple thing. Also look at Luo Kai, he is the path that all ordinary Chinese talented players who have not opened up will go through-if Chinese football really has a talented player like him.
It also echoes the lyrics in the ending song "Everyone's Life is a Long Journey" in the third volume:
"The dream is just ahead of the road, faintly shining and fascinating; I hope you find it finally.
"But there are also hot summers and winters, windy and rainy nights, and muddy roads in the distance; I hope you will be safe.
"May the wandering bring you enough wisdom and firm courage, and will not wear away your dreams."
Going abroad and pursuing dreams is not something as refreshing as YY. In many cases, it is more like Luo Kai rolling in the quagmire repeatedly, embarrassed, and may not be able to achieve a satisfactory result in the end.
It can be said that Hu Lai is a collection of all our fantasy and the bearer of all the good hopes we have given.
And Luo Kai is a cruel reality-of course, it is not as cruel and cold as the real reality. After all, this is YY, after all, it is a cool text, and it is always necessary to retain a touch of temperature.
It can be said that the subsequent staying abroad for other characters basically follows this principle, and it will not be too YY, but it will not be really completely realistic.
I won't write them into the wealthy soon, and they will be successful.
After all, the time span of this book is very long. As long as they can meet people's expectations of them in the end and can make due contributions to Chinese football, then their overseas study will be considered a success.
Again, I think about the plot arrangement from the perspective of the entire book, not from the perspective of serialization. So sometimes if you follow the serialization, you will inevitably feel uncomfortable. There is no way, there is always a choice. If you write meticulously, you can't increase the speed. If you increase the speed, you will be scribbled, and there will be many things that are ignored and cannot be taken care of.
But I believe this is definitely a book worthy of repeated reading after you finish reading it.
This is also a book that should be named in the history of online literature. Some time ago, when the Central Committee of the Communist Youth League conducted a telephone interview with me, I asked me to recommend myself a masterpiece that is most suitable for the current social reading and my favorite. I did not recommend it. "We are the Champions", neither recommended the "Champions Heart" which was included in the National Library of China's electronic library, nor even recommended "The Godfather of Champions". What I recommend is this "Forbidden Zone Fox".
I think the current "Fox in the Forbidden Zone" is worthy of being recommended to the whole society as my masterpiece.
This is my goal and my ambition.

The fifth volume is Hu Lai's first participation in a European competition.
His perspective will follow him to unfold the European football world in the book.
More new characters will be on stage ~EbookFREE.me~ and Hu Lai will play grievances and grievances.
The growth and maturity of the Chinese team continues.
In short, it is still a very exciting volume.
The story is still very long, and the time is still very long.
Let me write slowly, and watch it slowly.
Maybe it will be able to synchronize with reality in the book again at the World Cup next year?
After all, the time span in the book is very long. It is really long. It is definitely not "four more years" as some readers have guessed...
Thank you for your support and let us continue to walk together in Volume 5!
