Shortening the first volume of "The Dragon and the Tiger" is not an easy task.
You must know that Japanese light novels are generally updated every three to six months, excluding some writers with the nickname "typewriter", the average number of words in a volume is about 70,000; if you want to reduce a volume of 70,000 words to less than 10,000 words, you have to ensure that you have the original wonderful plot, and it is very difficult to know without thinking about it.
However, just like poetry, concise language can express full of longing, and concise words are what Gu Wu and Xia Zhiqiu are currently pursuing.
"Mr.
Gu Wu, I have completed one-fifth of the full text, you can take a look at the plot first; Because your original case is very interesting, I also wrote it very seriously. ” It was not Gu Wu who unilaterally provided all the character settings and plot development, and Xia Zhiqiu also added scenes that he thought were interesting.
Whether it's a manga or a light novel, the creator and the editor discuss and come to a conclusion, and put the most perfect conclusion in front of the readers in the form of a work, which is the cooperation between the two.
For example, in "Dream Eater", not only Akito Takagi, who served as the original work, can decide the direction of the plot, but Majo, as a painter, can also make changes to the development of the story.
At this moment, as the editor of Xia Zhiqiu, in order to make her successful, Gu Wu can not slack off in the slightest.
"No problem, I'll read them all carefully, and mark the wrong things directly on the document, okay?"
"Okay, it's backed up, so I'm free to add tags to it."
After Kasumigaoka finished speaking, he got up and moved out of the way of his desk.
"I'll go take a shower now, and we'll talk about the work in thirty minutes."
"Thirty minutes?"
"It's not because it's too dirty, it's to wash it cleaner!"
Xia Zhiqiu, who misunderstood Gu Wu's speech, snorted lightly, she probably thought that Gu Wu thought that she hadn't taken a bath for a long time, so she would spend so much time.
But Gu Wu's meaning is actually very simple, that is, he hopes that she can quickly complete other trivial tasks and complete the current work well.
Seeing Kasumigaoka walking towards the outside of the house, Gu Wu, who didn't say anything, had to focus on reading the works in front of him.
Kasumigaoka's writing is not excellent, but the short text and description are very appropriate, and they all present interesting places.
It's just that occasionally there will be that kind of slightly bland description, which may give the reader a feeling of 'fragrant coffee tasteless', and it is not too impactful.
"There is the same situation in her "Love Metronome", probably because she is used to writing long stories......"
You know, light novels are a genre of fiction that cares a lot about details.
If the protagonists travel to Kyoto, there will be a mixture of "billboards", "shrines", "Kinkakuji", "electric lights", "subways", "people", and so on.
And the short story "The Dragon and the Tiger" that is now being written must become more concise, and the role of ten paragraphs must be replaced by one paragraph.
Moving the mouse to mark the typos and more than the paragraphs, Gu Wu took the time to look out, the night sky hung by stars heralded the beginning of the night, and the occasional horn sounded as if urging a drunk drunk on the side of the road.
Gu Wu thought to himself that he would probably have to live here tonight, after all, although the short story was less than 10,000 words, there were so many things that needed to be adjusted.
He looked at the shirt of Kasumigaoka's father on his body, is he trusted now?
Thinking of this, Gu Wu read the work written by Kasumigaoka again, and only after a few minutes did he hear the footsteps of Kasumigaoka.
Dressed in slippers, she looked light after the shower, her hair was steaming, her skin reflected the light, she looked tender and shiny, and she was even more cute if she didn't have the pepper spray around her waist.
"Mr.
Gu Wu has already finished reading it?
How does it feel?
” Kasumigaoka, who had removed the towel from her shoulder, had already dried her hair, and her expression looked a little nervous, unlike the flat tone.
"Actually, there are still a lot of things that I am not satisfied with, and I know that I have to speed up the progress of the plot because of the word limit, but if the problem is too fast, it will be counterproductive."
Gu Wu currently thought of a proposal.
"It's better to use conflict to drive the plot than to use description to drive the plot."
It's not a dull passerby's heroine-like daily life, nor is it overly abnormal, but a small conflict.
Rather, it is the conflict and transformation between the protagonists that is at the center of "Dragon and Tiger".
"The space limits a lot of the conflicts that should be described, and if you want to do that, you have to delete the previous little daily parts."
Let the whole story start in conflict and end in conflict at the same time, the plot may not fluctuate much, but it will give the reader a lot of fun and leave a deep impression.
Is it 'the hero defeats the enemy' that is more exciting?
Or is it more exciting that 'the hero defeats the enemy with a self-explosion'?
It may all be similar, but the latter is definitely a bit of a concern.
"But until then, I'm going to go out and buy something, and I'll have to replenish the ingredients and things at home tomorrow."
"Then I'll go too, I can't do anything about letting Teacher Xia Shizi go out alone at night."
"Don't underestimate me."

"Please don't look at me like that."
Gu Wu's eyes didn't want to be favored by pepper spray.
So Gu Wu wore Kasumigaoka's father's shirt and jeans, and Kasumigaoka also put on a coat outside, and the two of them went out like this.
The streets were a little cold at night, and Kasumigaoka wrapped his clothes tightly, while Gu Wu narrowed the distance with her.
Not far away, the street lamps that were a little poorly touched were flickering, and the mosquitoes below began to scatter everywhere as if they were dizzy because of this.
Occasionally, night cats run along the roadside, and they are like messengers of the night, constantly patrolling the area.
The yellowed billboards, which I don't know how long it took, were thrown on the side of the road, and the office workers who had just left work as they passed by looked tired, and this was a corner of the city, operating steadily and as always.
Walking through the pathetic streets with few pedestrians, Gu Wu asked softly.
"What do you want to buy?"
"It's just simple, like tomatoes and potatoes."
"That's too simple."
"Don't talk nonsense, come with me."
Kasumigaoka, who wanted to take the lead, led the way ahead, and soon came to a store that said "Open 24 hours!
】.
The electronic wall watch at the entrance shows that the time is a little more than an hour and a half until tomorrow.
The two of them followed the sign to find the vegetable area, Gu Wu didn't see the Xia Zhiqiu selection of meat ingredients, and couldn't help but think of the possibility of 'losing weight'.
The girl's weight is taboo, and Gu Wu was not stupid enough to ask her if she didn't eat meat because of weight loss.
"Leave everything to me."
"It helped a lot."
Xia Zhiqiu paid the money, Gu Wu contributed and quickly ended the outing.
"Teacher Xia Shizi, are you sure these things are enough to eat?
But you have to keep your body. ” "Don't say anything similar to Lun Yejun, I also know how to take care of myself."
"Yes, An Yijun wants his favorite author to keep me healthy, and I hope that my companion will not fall down in a pinch."
"It's all the same wordy anyway."
Kasumigaoka, who had also been preached by An Yilun before, seemed to remember this vividly.
"Really, Lun Yejun is really a wooden fool!
Obviously a stupid person!
” Serious An Yilun also, the Kasumigaoka and Ying pear pears with their own intentions, are like adding too much cream to a cup, although they are sweet, they are sticky and can't see the bottom.
"Teacher Xia Shizi seems to like An Yijun very much."
"I don't like it very much, I just think that guy is easy to lose, so I have to watch him."
Perhaps in this world, Kasumigaoka's feelings for An Yilun have not yet entered the final stage.
Love is indeed a virus that spreads like a virus, and it will recede as quickly as a rising tide.
"So, Mr.
Gu Wu, I'm going to become more powerful and impress them."
"Teacher Xia Shizi will definitely be able to do it."
"Don't be perfunctory to me."
"That's the truth."
Lick a wave and then say.
"I have to say that Mr.
Gu Wu is much better than Lun Yejun in this regard."
Kasumigaoka has also come to the present because of An Yilun, and continues to serialize his works.
As for the present, her future was created by Gu Wu and her, and it was impossible not to care.
You must know that the so-called youth is a change!
