Chapter 84 about this novel

In fact, what I want to say is that when I wrote the second book, I already had a strong feeling that this is not a novel anymore.I always feel that there is a world that has been formed elsewhere.Because I tapped the keyboard, that world grew and developed slowly, and the characters in it began to have their own souls. When I was thirteen years old, I read the biography of Alexandre Dumas, in which it was written that "the characters are all alive".When Alexandre Dumas was writing the third part, a character in it died. He was crying while writing, and the manuscript paper was wet from crying.I felt very strange at the time, what kind of state can allow the author to write about the death of his characters in this way?

I tried to develop all kinds of imagination, but there was no result, until I started writing this novel myself, and began to consciously give the characters in the novel different personalities and give them different life experiences.Slowly, I found that the plot of the story began to undergo some changes that I couldn't predict myself.Soon, I couldn't control what this person should say or do. I found a very interesting phenomenon, as long as you first create a scene, such as heavy rain, and put these characters in this scene, they will walk to their respective seats and do what they should do.I can't reverse the positions of any two of them, because that would create an irreconcilable sense of dissonance.Even if I forcibly reversed the behavior of two of the characters, I would still get an overlapping scene in the future, who would speak first and who would speak later, who would enliven the atmosphere, and who would wander off, everything has already been decided.

I don't have to think about anything, just look at them, and I can know where the storyline is going. They really come alive. During the extremely long writing process, I changed from an author to a bystander.From God's point of view, I observe everyone's actions. Slowly, I can even see the origin of many of their slight emotions and behaviors, which is a certain experience in their childhood.For example, I can really see all his past, his pain, his vicissitudes, and everything about him through the movements of the fat man shaking the ashes. One flower, one world, one tree, one Tathagata.I can turn a scene upside down, repeat it, and observe it from any angle. I can even see the psychological activities of everyone on the scene, and the emotions of several people pass through my heart at the same time.

I think very few people can appreciate this kind of pleasure.When I was writing the section "Havoc in Heaven", I seemed to be in the box of the Crescent Hotel. I seemed to be able to walk from upstairs to downstairs, watching the people around me in chaos.Among the splashing debris and the fighting crowd, I stop everything at any time, turn back a time at any time, stick to the hearts of the characters at any time, and experience all the emotional changes in their hearts.I can slowly advance everything in front of me at a slow speed of one frame per second, and then squat on the ground to watch the slow changes in the expressions of the characters inside.

The whole world in this book, for me, is real.Every detail of him is real and cannot be changed.The parts I've built are as solid as reality.Although I am the creator of this novel, when everything is on track, I begin to have great respect for the world of this novel.
