Chapter 145 Just copy "Legend of the Soldier"
After writing history and writing fairy tales, what to write fairy tales? This is worth considering.`
First, foreign novels and supernatural novels can be ruled out.
He has hardly seen foreign novels, but only watched movies. He once failed in English, but Wu Cheng said it was a pity that he had known that he could travel through time, so he would read more foreign novels.
As for supernatural novels, he has only read "Ghost Blows Out the Light" and "Grave Robbers' Chronicles". It was because they were so popular that they were released again that he turned back to read the novel.
If it was just because of this, you could copy it. But the problem is that the age in which these two stories came later than the time period he was in now.
In this way, this supernatural species can be eliminated first.
You can write about fantasy, but the problem is that if you want to make a TV series, it will be more troublesome. Wu Cheng is also struggling whether to give up on the TV series adaptation.
Speaking of which, if you just adapt the TV series, it is actually nothing to give up, but the problem is that adapting it into a TV series is actually a kind of publicity for the novel itself and is very helpful to the sales of the novel. If "Hui Ming" had not been promoted by the TV series, it would not have been possible to sell more than 4 million copies in Hong Kong and Taiwan in more than two months.
A set of "Hui Ming" is twelve volumes, more than 6 million volumes, but in fact it is only one million. The price of one volume is three yuan, plus discounts, as well as the taxes that should be paid, and the publisher should have, the overall net income is only about tens of millions, and Wu Cheng himself has 20% left.
After redeeming the villa, the remaining five or six million were also used by Wu Cheng to repay the debts of the Wu family.
I spent 50% of the shares of the Urban Entertainment News Agency before, but I still had 450 million yuan left to pay it back!
Therefore, Wu Cheng is still a little jealous of the TV series adaptation rights, and it is all money.`
However, once this condition is bound by the constraints, the novels that Wu Cheng can think of are relatively limited. After thinking about it, Wu Cheng set his goal on "The Legend of the Two Dragons of the Tang Dynasty".
But the next day, Wu Cheng changed his mind because when Wu Shulan called him to urge the manuscript the next day, he mentioned something.
"Uncle, is your new book ready? Ni Fu is despising you and Jiang Lang has finished his life!"
Wu Cheng was puzzled and said in surprise: "What's wrong with that guy? Why did I offend him again?"
"I'm jealous of your achievements!" Wu Shulan chuckled: "As soon as the sales of 'huiming' came out last week, those authors were envious. What's even more acceptable is that you are not a pure author, but a boss with several companies with assets of over 100 million yuan. As a result, you even went to compete with others for food. If they don't, who will you deny you?"
Wu Cheng was speechless, thinking that Lao Ni was a little bit boring! He wanted to hype it up again?
"Why did he say that? Didn't you give me a name!"
"He dares!" Wu Shulan hummed, "But anyone can see that he is targeting you. It is definitely because you have not released a new book for so long. It is useless for readers to urge you. Even if you write, you will definitely not be able to escape the old-fashioned scope. The tighter you urge, the worse the new book."
"The truth is right!" Wu Cheng said in surprise: "Why are you angry at this level!"
"You can take a look at today's "Oriental Daily"!"
"Then I'll hang up first and call you back!"
Wu Cheng hung up the phone, picked up the newspaper prepared by Aunt Chen on the coffee table, took out the Oriental Daily and read it. Not long after, he found Ni Fu's article on the second page.
Although the author of this article is not Ni Fu, Wu Cheng knew that this guy named "Jiu Gang Jushi" was him. He had used this pseudonym to fight Wu Cheng before.
Wu Cheng estimated that this guy was not just envious of his achievements, but was probably promoting himself. This guy is a person who knows how to take advantage of loopholes and seize opportunities.
After continuing to flip through the Oriental Daily, Wu Cheng revealed that this guy really had a reason, because this guy's new movie "Shaolin Temple" is about to be released in two days.
The 1976 version of "Shaolin Temple" is a martial arts drama produced by Shaw Brothers. The screenwriter is Ni Fu and the director is Zhang Che, the great director. In the 1960s and 1970s, people called him the "Hong Kong Film Generation Hero". It is conceivable how high his status in the film industry is.
However, Wu Cheng knew that this guy was going to get out of date. In the early 1980s, he withdrew from the Shaw Brothers stage and gradually declined. Compared with today's movies, he has been gradually eliminated by the times. There are only a few tricks coming and going, which would be strange if the audience is not upset.
Of course, this cannot erase his contribution to Hong Kong movies.
In addition, his disciples are also famous figures, such as Di Long, Jiang Dawei, Qian Xiaohao, Chen Guantai, etc., and even Wu Yusen can be regarded as his disciples.
It can be said that he was a martial arts film director Taishan Beidou and a martial arts leader among martial arts film directors in the 1960s and 1970s. Wu Cheng can only be regarded as a junior in front of him.
If it weren't for Wu Cheng or the boss of the film company, he wouldn't be qualified to speak in front of him.
Actually, Wu Cheng didn't know that Zhang Che was a little unhappy about Wu Cheng. First, Wu Cheng was young, and second, Wu Cheng was young and also made such a hit movie, which was simply not for the old seniors to live! Faced with such a "jumping" junior, how could you let the old seniors feel in love?
Therefore, these two seniors who had some opinions about Wu Cheng, the junior, would give Wu Cheng a look after a little plot. At the same time, they also took advantage of the popularity of the topic character Wu Cheng, and stir-frying their new films would be like killing two birds with one stone!
Wu Cheng knew about the release of "Shaolin Temple". Before, Daheng Shao had mentioned to him that he wanted to ask Feilong Theater to provide him with some screens! The purpose was the same as Daheng Zou.
However, Wu Cheng did not agree to them because they had a new film from Donglong, so they could not give up the good schedule just because they were favored. He didn't ask them to help before!
However, this love will be returned sooner or later. Wu Cheng has promised them that after the Spring Festival, they will give them a chance to release together.
However, he didn't know before that "Shaolin Temple" was actually written by Ni Fu.
Being criticized without making a sound is not Wu Cheng's style, even the old seniors.
Therefore, Wu Cheng started to quarrel in the urban entertainment newspaper, saying that some old seniors were unauthorized and had a very thick-skinned attitude, and had no confidence in the release of the new film, and actually wanted to use the popularity of his young man to hype. Who is the talented person? Let’s look at the results of this old senior’s new film!
In addition, Wu Cheng also directly stated that he is preparing a new science fiction book and is expected to start serializing it in the Urban Entertainment News the day after tomorrow. Please stay tuned!
Wu Cheng did not curse, but just responded to the other party in a teasing way, giving people a graceful and gentle feeling. Compared to Ni Fu's face, many people think that Wu Cheng, a young man, has a rare kindness.
Finally, Wu Chengcai showed the aura that a young man should have, faced the majesty of challenging the science fiction master Ni Fu, and threatened to write a new science fiction book, which really made readers happy.
I was already struggling with what kind of new book to copy, but now when Ni Fu called this, Wu Cheng directly gave up the idea of copying the "Da Tang" and replaced it with copying science fiction.
When thinking of science fiction novels, Wu Cheng remembers "The Legend of the Soldiers" in science fiction novels. After all, this book is one of the four great books on the Internet. I used to copy "Zhu Xian" in the four great books on the Internet, and now I copy another "The Legend of the Soldiers", which is no big deal.
With the test of "Hui Ming" and the consolidation of "Zhu Xian", Wu Cheng no longer worried about the failure of "Legend of Little Soldiers". Moreover, will "Little Soldiers" be bad?
He even thought about it, and after writing "Little Soldier", he copied "Zichuan" and then copied other fantasy adaptations of TV series, so he ignored it.
In this era, there are countless novels waiting for him to copy in later generations!
However, in "Legend of the Little Soldier", many words need to be modified by Wu Cheng himself.
After all, it is a product of the 21st century. Many of the terms on the Internet in the book cannot be understood by people of this period. Many things, even seem ordinary to people of the 21st century, but to people of this era, they feel a little confused.
For example, the book mentions games many times, especially online games, which are really ordinary in the eyes of people in the 21st century. But in the eyes of people in this period, it is almost a fantasy and incredible. During this period, the Internet has not yet been exhibited! Games are still just some very simple stand-alone mini-games, let alone online games.
Therefore, in order to make the audience understand, Wu Cheng had to add some explanations.
In this way, the degree of picking up the "little soldier" will not be faster. Fortunately, Wu Cheng was first-class and his physique was different from ordinary people. It would be no problem to copy four or five thousand words in an hour.
But it cannot be compared with when copying "Zhu Xian".
...
"Xiao Cheng, how does your head grow?" Zhao Yazhi couldn't help but spit out Lan Ruo after reading the manuscript in her hand, then looked at Wu Cheng curiously, blinking his starry eyes, and said with some longing: "Will the future world really become like this? Can humans really enter the starry sky era?"
Wu Cheng stopped writing after hearing this, looked at her and smiled, "Who knows what happened thousands of years later? I only know that we will definitely not see such a miracle in our lives!"
"How do you think what you wrote seems to be true?" Zhao Yazhi couldn't help but smile, "How did you come up with it? These fantasies about the future are much better than the writer who scolds you!"
Wu Cheng smiled when he heard this, but his smile was somewhat embarrassed and passed away.
...
Chapter completed!
