~： Concluding remarks

"The book is over."

It’s never easy to end a journey, as every book ends, and this is the journey of Renly-Hall even more so.

When the last paragraph of the text was over, Qimao felt an unprecedented emptiness and sadness. He was full of messy thoughts but couldn't find a source of thought. He couldn't say it and couldn't sort it out. It was just pure collapse and always felt that the story should not end. , At least it shouldn’t end here.

In fact, the story of Lan Li is really not over yet:

The launch of Don Quixote Channel, the chairman of the Cannes Film Festival, the release of "Icarus", the broadcast of "Mind Hunter", the release of "Rogue One", the shooting of "Manchester by the Sea", the host of the Venice Film Festival The competition, the opening of the second round of EGOT, the official award of knighthood, the sail of Sisyphus Pictures, the story of Renly and his family and friends, and of course, the most important battle for hegemony in the streaming media era...

There are many and many stories that have not been finished. His legend is still going on, he will still encounter difficulties, will still continue to challenge the limit, and will still create miracles.

This is obviously not the end.

If you like, Lan Li's story can continue, but after thinking about it again and again, Qi Mao temporarily put a stop to Lan Li's story, because the story should end after all, and life will continue forever.

We are all pursuing a perfection, we are all pursuing an ending, just like a fairy tale, and draw a perfect ending in the end. However, there is no "Happy-Ending" in life. For the rest, we will continue to go on, so the story of Lanli in Qimao's writing is over. As for the future, it will be left to the readers to slow down. Imagine slowly and savor slowly.

In the end, it is undeniable that part of the reason is due to the decline in subscription performance.

Qi Mao was originally a very niche author. The results since the codeword have not been tepid, but thanks to the support of a group of loyal readers, this has been persisted: "Without readers, there will be no current Qi Mao. ", this is not a polite remark. But the results in the later stages of this book are really not ideal.

In fact, it was originally planned to end in September, but after all, it was still reluctant to miss the end time point, so the story continued. Over the past few months, the subscription score has continued to decline slowly. After thinking hard, it is still difficult to decide to draw an end to the story.

By the way, I sincerely hope that readers who like this book and Qi Mao can support the original version, because the original subscription is the best support method, and it is also the best motivation for Qi Mao to continue to tell the story. For niche authors such as Qi Mao, this is even more important.

Of course, although Qi Mao decided to draw an ending for the story, it still took several months to finish the story, and during this time, Qi Mao was still very happy to continue telling the story of Lan Li. Even if it ends here, Qi Mao has no regrets.

Regarding this ending, Qi Mao conceived it a long time ago. It is like reincarnation and rebirth. It can complement the beginning of the story. In this way, it is appropriate to draw a full stop to the story of Lan Li. It belongs to Qi Mao. So, it ends here without any regrets.

From the heart.

Despite this, Qi Mao is still unable to describe his current mixed feelings, because everything is so real, as if the characters in the pen are real, especially Lan Li, he and his friends are real, they are still there. Interpreting one's life in reality will not be stagnant because of the stop of the seven cats. This is the most uncomfortable part of the heart-but from another perspective, it is also the most beautiful part.

The story will end, but life will not.

The book "Da Xi Gu" has been written eloquently for more than three years, with 8 million words. Even Qi Mao himself finds it a bit absurd, because when I started writing, I was in a state of extreme self-doubt. I couldn't see it. I opened up more possible abilities, and I couldn’t see my motivation to continue the code word, so this was the birth of a character who was so pure and without branches and impurities, hoping to keep myself focused; the last journey was gone. It's such a long time, this is the honor of Qi Mao.

In fact, when writing the closing part, it is inevitable that there is still a feeling of exhausted fatigue. The closing part inevitably has some unsatisfactory places. On the one hand, the story is too long, and on the other hand, it is difficult to say goodbye. It is inevitable that some flaws when writing the pen, this is obviously not the best Qi Mao, but Qi Mao still hopes to write the best blue gift.

Jiang Yihan, Li Zhunyi, Evan Bell, Lancelot Strello, Hugo Lancaster, each character can find a trait that belongs to them, which belongs to Lan Li- Hall's is pure, enviable and desirable. Seven cats like Lanli very, very much, which makes this farewell more difficult.

Especially in the recent period, Qimao has also seen many book friends express their dissatisfaction with the end of the story in different ways, and can't help regretting it, and thinking about whether the story should continue , Should Lan Li's footsteps continue to move forward? This also makes the final moments of the "end of the book" even more difficult.

Here, Qi Mao sincerely expresses its regrets and apologies, and sincerely expresses gratitude and happiness. Thank you for being able to like Lanly Hall.

But in the end, no matter how unwilling to give up, Qi Mao still thinks that the best choice when the story ends here. Although Qi Mao’s text has reached one paragraph for the time being, please be sure that Lan Li’s pursuit of dreams will not stop, he is still that Lan Li, and then he interprets different but the same stories in the minds of every book friend. Write his miracle.

The full stop, after all, still falls here.

Thank you!

I sincerely thank every reader who supports this book, recommending, collecting, subscribing, monthly pass, and rewarding. I sincerely thank every book friend who is reading this nonsense and the end of the testimony at this moment. Thank you for your perseverance. Regrettably, every form is the best support for Qi Mao.

Once again, although Seven Cats rarely issue single chapters, it is obvious that as a niche street writer who can tell the story quietly, your support is the only reason. Thank you for being able to let Qimao continue to tell the story; and thank you for being able to make Qimao grow up.

PS, Lanly’s second album "Icarus", the detailed playlist has been updated in the related chapters of the work, and interested book friends can check it out.

In the process of writing this book, Qi Mao once wrote a "Ten Years of Thanksgiving" chapter, and in a blink of an eye, it was already a year and a half ago, hoo...time flies, it’s really scary, I don’t know now. How many book friends accompany Lan Li to finish this journey.

After the story of Lan Li-Hall, for a long time, Qi Mao should not be able to forget his figure, just like every character in Qi Mao's works before.

And this farewell may be an unprecedented difficulty, because Qi Mao decided to make a brand new challenge.

From the "Entertainment by My Side" series, to the stumbling "Iceberg Daddy", to the shaping of the styles of "Big Idol" and "Big Artist", then the different attempts of "Superstar" and "Movie Master", and finally to the present" From the first decade of the 21st century, Qi Mao to the third decade of the 21st century, from Korean entertainment to American entertainment, from strange to familiar with movies... this journey After experiencing so much, but never really leaving the track that I am familiar with, now is the time to make some changes.

Regarding the next book, Seven Cats really worries a lot and for a long time. Originally, they wanted to write a story about music——

Continuing the spiritual core of the "superstar" and writing a story that truly concentrates on music, or a story about the director/producer joining the torrent of the streaming media era-to make up for what the "superstar" could not accomplish Regrettably, it can also be considered as a follow-up to the "big drama".

But after struggling for a long time and considering a lot, Qimao finally wants to make some different challenges and attempts. Maybe those ideas can be realized in the next book. Now, let us focus on a different young man for the time being. Body, so I chose to write a new subject.

"Can't you let the monsters make a living?"

This is the new book of Seven Cats. It is a story of adventure and investigation with some fantasy, some lightness and life. The fantasy part may not be very proficient, so let’s take it as a story about investigation The pain of transformation It’s still going on now. I always stumble when I start writing, I’m not too comfortable with it, and I’m not too familiar with it. Obviously this is not an easy task, and sometimes I doubt myself, "What the **** is saying in this story?" The feeling of writing is still not quite right, but Qi Mao still hopes to be able to tell a story, a character, a life, a story about a brand new character's adventure in another world, and most importantly, this is still a story about friendship, affection and love. .

Seven cats also hope that someone can like this slightly different story but still has the style of Seven cats.

I hope to see old friends and make new friends in the new book.

Now the new book is still in the exploratory period, and urgently needs support. The number of collections and recommendations is pitiful. I sincerely hope that all book friends can support more, so that Qi Mao can generate more motivation and continue to adhere to a small codeword dream, just like Don Quixote always stood beside Renly.

After all, you and I, who are reading the text of this book to the last minute, are both Don Quixote.

Finally, bow again and thank you all!

Thank you, leave.
