Chapter 302: Am I the Right Person?
Lu Xudong found at least thirty or forty authors with strong comprehensive strength.
How strong is it? These authors have at least written a book with an average order of more than 3,000 yuan.
In general, such authors are reluctant to be gunmen.
However, when they heard that Hemingway was a gunman, some of them were still willing to give it a try.
On the one hand, the price of the founders is very high, more than twice as much as their usual remuneration.
Then there are a few authors who want to have a good relationship with Hemingway, the shareholder of the website.
In the end, more than a dozen authors agreed to give it a try, and each copied 10,000 words.
However, after Du Caige and several editors looked at it, they felt that it was still not good.
It's not that the writing is bad, it's not that the rhythm is not good.
These authors can write excellent works, and they all have a hand.
There are a few things written in them, and Du Caige thinks they are very outstanding.
But the point is that they can't write those moves, they can't write about wonderful fights, they can't write the connotation of those boxing techniques.
For example, this paragraph: "Wang Chao is snake-shaped, his body is twisted, his waist swings, his feet are crutched left and right, and his spine is lying together, attacking with a serpentine shape."
But Liao Junhua was tight, united, and short, and the entire person who was one meter and eight tall suddenly shrunk into a child. He has a quick body, using both hands and feet, sometimes grabbing his face, sometimes kicking his short legs, like a yellow dog peeing.
Although Liao Junhua's posture is ugly, the lethality is huge.
Especially the leg that is like the yellow dog peeing, which is no higher than the knee, and kicks at Wang Chao's calf joint diagonally, the power is swift and sinister, and he doesn't feel that he wants to exert strength in advance, and suddenly skims his legs, as if he suddenly has an extra leg out of thin air.
This is the 'dark leg' in the heart of the Liuhe fist. The strength is invisible, the center of gravity is changed at will, and one leg is skimmed out.
'Dark legs' hurt people is purely a kind of profound boxing technique that naturally exerts strength in the process of changing the center of gravity and body method. It often kicks people and knocks them down, kicks them to cripple. Only those who have legs know what is going on. ”
How good is the writing in this paragraph?
Of course not.
But no one can really copy it.
It's not a matter of writing or imagination.
Rather, these authors do not have this background knowledge and have no way to write at all.
Of course, if they are given enough time, they can also go to some people who teach martial arts, find a few martial arts halls, and learn about relevant knowledge.
Read some of the world's boxing scriptures and secrets to draw nutrients from them.
But I don't have that much time for them.
Du Caige calculated, even if the gunmen were to collect information and grasp the background knowledge first, it would take at least two or three months before they could barely write an imitation.
But if Du Caige works harder, he takes dozens of minutes every day and carries 10,000 words, and he can barely carry most of "Romance of the Dragon and Snake" in two or three months.
At that point, why bother looking for a gunman?
"The Romance of the Dragon and Snake" is 2.3 million words, and Du Caige plans to condense it to about 1.4 million to 1.5 million words.
In the original version of the magic machine, the protagonist Wang Chao is about one-third of the book, and he has already held Dan, and it is rare to meet an opponent.
There are a lot of plots in the back that are very watery.
Cutting the last two-thirds of the content in half will only make "Romance of the Dragon and Snake" more classic.
Of course, correspondingly, the less the number of words, the less money you make.
But Du Caige really doesn't look down on the millions of subscription fees in his eyes now.
A few days ago, Tang Yezhi looked for him and wanted to buy more than a dozen songs from him.
The price is as good as he goes.
As long as Du Caige relaxes, he can pick ten of the thousands of unpublished songs and sell them to Huayu Entertainment, which is at least one or two hundred million yuan.
Tang Yezhi still had to accept his favors.
It has been nine months since then, and Du Caige has laid a good foundation through hard work.
Now it is not difficult for him to make money.
It's past the stage where my mind is full of "I want to make money".
Now he needs to think more about "what I want to bring to this world" and "what I want to leave in this world".
Therefore, between "more words, more money" and "a little more streamlining, a little more streamlining, and writing a classic", Du Caige will undoubtedly choose the latter.
So be it, Du Caige made up his mind.
"Romance of the Dragon and Snake" is done by yourself.
......
And for book fans, in fact, the best part of "Romance of the Dragon and Snake" has passed.
The most exciting and evocative thing about "Romance of the Dragon and Snake" is the first 200,000 words.
Step by step, a very realistic national art system has been created.
In addition, Du Caige has made some modifications, giving more color to the supporting characters, especially the female characters, and creating a great sense of expectation.
This makes fans of the book can't put it down, and they can't wait to read the finale in one go.
Everyone wants to see how the protagonist Wang Chao is getting stronger step by step, and wants to see what other realms there are after the bright energy, dark energy, and transformation of national arts.
I want to see Wang Chao challenge strong enemies, I want to see Wang Chao accept all kinds of girls, and finally conquer Tang Zichen.
In this process, there are countless wonderful fights, and there are explanations of boxing techniques, because the sense of reality is so strong, many fans feel that they are not here, but reading the biography of a master of national arts.
But after 200,000 words, especially after Wang Chao hugged Dan, the sense of expectation decreased a lot.
Wang Chao is almost invincible in the world, and Tang Zichen, the number one master in the world, also said that he can't beat Wang Chao.
Although there are still a few points to look forward to, such as "integrating the Tang Sect", "returning to China and being recognized by the state", "meeting other hidden masters", "teaching apprentices to become masters", and "the world's first martial arts conference".
But in general, it's hard to get fresh anymore.
Freshness is the main driving force for readers to follow the reading.
At this point, Du Caige felt that "The Romance of the Dragon and Snake" had no potential to go to the next level, and readers just continued to read it because of reading inertia.
It is also difficult for Du Caige to change this.
can only squeeze out some water as much as possible, write the supporting characters more three-dimensionally, and shape the classics in this way.
There is also the addition of some plots suitable for film and television adaptations, laying a good foundation for the future filming of the Guoshuliu movie universe.
"Romance of the Dragon and Snake" is not as good as "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" after all, and there is no way to do it.
It's not that it's not written well enough, it's the limitation of the innate subject matter.
For example, the number of female readers of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" is no less than that of male readers.
And "The Romance of the Dragon and Snake" is not friendly enough to female readers.
And "Romance of the Dragon and Snake" is essentially an upgraded stream writing method, and there is nothing to see after reaching the full level.
It's not like "Ghost Blows the Lamp" that can always bring readers fresh excitement.
Du Caige knows these things very well, so he never wanted "Romance of the Dragon and Snake" to catch up with the results of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern".
That's not realistic.
Even if he shoots the Guoshuliu Movie Universe, in terms of box office revenue (assuming the same quality), it is estimated that it will not be as good as the Tomb Robbery Stream Movie Universe.
But Du Caige definitely made movies not just to make money.
So he wants to shoot "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" in the future, and he also wants to shoot "Romance of the Dragon and Snake".
While carrying "Romance of the Dragon and Snake", he was also trying to write a script at the same time.
From time to time, some interesting ideas come to mind.
It's so much fun to create~
......
After finishing the filming of "Those Years", Du Caige just wanted to hide and quietly carry "Romance of the Dragon and Snake".
Then I also paid attention to the progress of Fan Youqiao's side.
Rouzhi Investment is negotiating with Fan Youqiao and is said to have reached some very positive consensus.
It is estimated that the agreement for the angel round investment will be reached soon.
The 7th episode of "New Power of Music" was broadcast, and the tragic elimination of the team made the audience addicted.
The footage of Du Caige's group was basically cut to the next issue, and this issue is mainly the Jiayong Yixi group and the Su Manqian group.
Du Caige saw that the two people he paid more attention to, Shao Yongshi and Wu Xing'er, both advanced.
So far, Wu Xinger has sung two songs, both of which are covers of songs by Tianyi's singers.
The 5 songs she stole haven't been released yet.
Du Caige didn't speak, waited quietly, and got ready.
When she can't help but start singing the stolen songs, Du Caige will start a fierce offensive.
......
A young woman with short ear-length hair, a gray lady's suit, a short skirt, and black stockings stood in Yan Yingzhen's office, which was as spacious as a large auditorium, curiously pulled out a copper knick-knack from the cabinet and looked at it for a while.
"This is a hand-made copper ornament by Sakurajima postmodern artist Yazo Sato, right?" her voice is more neutral.
"Yes, Joe, you also study these things, I don't know that you are quite knowledgeable. Yan Yingzhen stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, holding a glass of pale golden champagne in her left hand.
"Actually, my second degree is going to be an elective in industrial design," Fan Youqiao squinted and smiled, "I like art a lot." Dealing with cold logic and tight code a lot, I always want to have some artistic stuff to fill the mind. ”
"Art is to perceive the world in a different way from science, art is the imagination of the imagination, art is the unrestrained self-expression, art is the most passionate burst of life energy. He concluded.
"Someone has said something similar to you. Yan Yingzhen nodded in agreement.
"Mr. Yan, you are a busy person, there is a joke that you will not bend down to pick up a hundred yuan when you see a hundred yuan dropped on the ground. Because it takes you a second to bend over, and you make well over $100 per second. Fan Youqiao put the ornament back in the cabinet.
"Someone has calculated that Mr. Yan, you can earn 270 million yuan a day, so you can earn 3,125 yuan per second. Your time is precious. ”
"So, what do you want to talk about when you waste precious time asking me over today?"
He didn't ask who the "someone" was.
He's not stupid.
Yan Yingzhen smiled slightly: "It's not a waste of time to meet you. When I invest, it's never about projects, it's about people. ”
"No matter how good a project is, no matter how interesting a product is, it can't be done without the right people to develop it. ”
"On the contrary, there are projects that are not favored in the initial stage, but if they are led by the right people, they still have a chance to become a successful project. ”
"I wanted to meet you in person to make sure you were the right person. ”
"Then am I?" Fan Youqiao asked with a smile.
