Chapter 412

"Legend of the Little Soldier" was over as early as Wu Cheng returned from North America.

So, Wu Cheng really doesn’t have much time to write novels. He wrote the beginning of "The Legend of the Two Dragons of the Tang Dynasty" before, but later it stopped because of "The Legend of the Little Soldiers".

After that, Wu Cheng gradually became lazy. Although he copied things, he would be tiring to copy them frequently. What's more, Wu Cheng had to copy scripts and songs, and had to film and direct the film.

Even if Wu Cheng is energetic, he can't sit there at 24 hours a day and sit there. What's more, he still has so many girlfriends that he needs to coax.

So, after the end of "The Legend of the Soldier", Wu Cheng began to be lazy. He even wondered whether to find some gunmen to come back and write his own novel outline, so that the gunmen could write it on their behalf.

For example, like the screenwriter team of Donglong International, it also set up a private novel studio.

Wu Shulan actually didn't understand that Wu Cheng was very busy, but she didn't need Wu Cheng to write it himself. Her meaning coincided with Wu Cheng. She just needed Wu Cheng to give an outline and find a gunman with some strength to write on her behalf.

It is actually very common to find someone to write for you. Even Mr. Jin Yong once asked Ni Fu to write about "Tianlong", let alone others.

The one who really can't find someone to write for him is the author who is struggling at the bottom.

"What I mean is that you provide an outline, I will find someone to write for you, and then show it to you after writing. If you think it's OK, then publish it. If you don't, you will rework. What do you think?"

Wu Shulan did not beat around the bush and directly told Wu Cheng about the intention.

Wu Cheng smiled and said, "Your thoughts coincide with mine, but I have an idea here, you can see how it is!"

"Little uncle, please tell me! I'll listen carefully!" Seeing that Wu Cheng was willing to solve the problem, Wu Shulan naturally would not refuse and would do her leisurely.

Wu Cheng picked up the boiled water and took a sip, and said, "This is my idea..."

"My nephew, it's time to eat!"

When Wu Cheng was about to speak, the nanny who came from his uncle came out to ask them to have dinner. Wu Cheng shrugged his shoulders and smiled and said, "Let's go! Have a chat while eating!"

"OK!"

At the dinner table, Wu Cheng continued the topic just now and said: "My idea is that the Urban Entertainment Newspaper should not continue to publish novels, and use the vacant pages to report entertainment news in Hollywood. As for the novel, let the newspaper create another Zhou Xing."

Zhao Yazhi looked at Wu Cheng in confusion and said, "But in this way, wouldn't you have to invite other authors to apply for manuscripts? That Jiuzan..., the surname Ni, wouldn't he interfere with it?"

"What uncle means is that we can recruit some ghostwriters ourselves?"

Wu Cheng nodded and said, "If you invite an article to the author outside, the person named Ni will definitely jump out to block it. Even if it cannot pose a threat to us, you will still be disgusting us."

Wu Cheng said, and couldn't help but chuckled, saying, "In fact, even if he wants to obstruct it, it can't be obstructed at all. Isn't our Shuxiang Publishing House also getting up now?"

Everyone nodded when they heard this, and Leslie Cheung, who was standing beside him, lowered his head to eat, giving Zhou Huimin a handicap from time to time. He has never liked to participate in such things, so he should concentrate on eating.

Wu Shulan couldn't help but nodded when she heard this, and finally asked, "So, what is the positioning of Zhou Xing Magazine? Martial arts novels, science fiction novels? Or hodgepodge?"

Wu Cheng was silent after hearing this, and finally said, "Let's have dinner first! Let's chat later!"

Because he saw that Leslie Cheung had almost finished eating, and if he continued to chat, the dinner would probably be endless.

After dinner, Leslie Cheung taught Xiao Min to play the piano downstairs. Wu Cheng and Wu Shulan entered the study. Zhao Yazhi made tea for them and sat quietly on the side and listened.

"I think it is better to have a comprehensive positioning of the weekly magazine!" Wu Cheng picked up the teacup and sucked it gently, saying, "If it is just a faction, it will look a little monotonous. It is inevitable to be a hodgepodge, and this needs no need to say much. Moreover, in addition to martial arts and fairy tales, there are science fiction, I have other ideas, such as fantasy..."

"Fantasy, what?" Wu Shulan was a little confused.

Wu Cheng explained: "Western magic novels are called magic literature. We can actually have a mysterious fantasy literature. For example, our domestic classic "Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio" can be said to be fantasy literature or mythical novels. But if they are called mythical novels, they are indistinguishable from Western magic and mythical novels."

Wu Cheng said while taking a sip of tea and continued, "So, it is most appropriate to call it 'fantasy literature'. Xianxia is the upgrade board of martial arts novels, and fantasy is also an upgraded version of martial arts novels. Xianxia continues the 'hero' in martial arts, while fantasy continues the 'wu' in martial arts, which weakens the 'hero' and thus enhances the 'wu'."

Although Wu Shulan didn't quite understand what Wu Cheng was saying, she felt a little unaware of the harshness and nodded and said, "Please continue with uncle!"

Wu Cheng smiled and said, "In addition to 'fantasy literature', there can also be science fiction, magic, and supernatural, which is the kind of ghost stories... So, I think this magazine can be named "Infinite Fantasy World", and then it is divided into several sections, fantasy, magic, fairy tale, martial arts, science fiction, supernatural, urban, and history. Just these are the few for the time being!"

"Urban? History?" Wu Shulan was a little confused and said, "Are they those novels that are set in modern cities and history?"

Wu Cheng gave her a thumbs up and smiled and said, "Smart! That's what it means. Urban novels can write about urban grudges, affections, and various disputes within the family, and even urban life of capable people and strangers, etc.... If you write about urban grudges, affections, and even remake them into TV series or movies in the future, this is not a difficult task."

After pausing, he said again: "The same is true for history. With history as the background, then write about officialdom struggles or biographies. Of course, you can also write about martial arts based on history as the background, but this type of person has Mr. Jin Yong, the great god, in front of this type. If you want to transcend this, it is almost impossible to surpass it!"

Wu Shulan looked at Wu Cheng blankly, and Zhao Yazhi also stared at him blankly. Both of them seemed to want to know whether Wu Cheng's mind structure was different from others and why he could have so many creativity. Not to mention other things, just these creativity can completely promote a "novel revolution". This is not something that anyone can do.

"Uncle, do you already have these types of novels?"

"There are so many stories. When you look back, you set up a studio and recruit some authors with some literary skills. I will provide a few outlines for them to choose. The studio can give them the opportunity to sign together. As for the copyright, it is of course the studio. However, if they have the ability, they can write it themselves after writing this book on their own!"

Wu Shulan nodded after hearing this and said, "So, how much is the tentative salary?"

"Thousand words can be given forty, plus the right to jointly sign the name!"

"This is higher than the manuscript fee of ordinary authors!"

"Or how attracted people to come and write for me?"

Wu Shulan nodded and stood up and said, "Then, I won't bother my uncle anymore. I will start doing this tomorrow and then publish an advertisement in the newspaper."

Wu Cheng laughed, gave her a thumbs up, and said, "Smart! I don't need to teach you now!"

"Virtue!" Wu Shulan carried her bag and said to Zhao Yazhi: "Auntie, I'll leave first!"

Zhao Yazhi also stood up and smiled and said, "Then, I won't fight you anymore. Alan, I'll give you it!"

When the two girls left the study, Wu Cheng sat back to the desk, prepared paper and pen, and thought about which novels to copy. By the way, writing an outline is not easy, especially those serialized online novels in later generations. Because many authors often have a flash of inspiration when writing this and then add some plots. These plots are actually dispensable for the novel itself, just some plots that pretend to slap in the face and make readers feel more pleasant.

Therefore, if it weren't for novels like Wu Cheng that were copied from the original text, just write an outline and then fill it out, and the final things written will definitely be different from the original work.

At this time, it is not so common to pretend to be slapped in the face. Some authors will definitely not think of these things consciously when writing, so it is somewhat worrying in terms of viewability.

Wu Cheng felt that even if he wrote the outline himself, it would be hard to say whether the things written by the gunman in the end could make people shine.

Perhaps, this matter is not as simple as he imagined.

However, no matter what, I have to try it first.

Wu Cheng felt that only supernatural people don’t need to give an outline, because this type of novels he reads relatively few. Moreover, the few books he has only read have different backgrounds in the era and the present, so there is no need to write them.

But soon, Wu Cheng gave up this idea because he thought of the TV series "Zombie Taoist Master" in the 1990s. Movies like "Mr. Zombie" a few years later.

In addition, there is the later "I Have a Date with a Zombie", which has a bit of a romantic fantasy drama, but it can be barely forced to act as a supernatural.

However, thinking that "Uncle Ying" is now at Donglong International, you can list the outline of "Zombie Chief" and then write it on behalf of others to write it into a novel mode. At that time, there will be no problem in multiple channels such as publishing, movies, TV series adaptations, etc.!

The supernatural type wrote "Zombie Taoist Master". After this was decided, Wu Cheng opened it again
