Chapter 331 - Essay on Million Dollar Prize
Long Jiumei felt that she and Cai Wei got along very well, and she really wanted to find a chance to meet Yan Yingzhen.
It's a pity that Yan Yingzhen has been busy (in fact, she doesn't want to see her), so she can only miss it.
On the last day of the National Day, Du Caige sent Long Jiumei back to the sanatorium.
Later, when he was talking to Cai Wei on the phone, Cai Wei said bluntly: "Baba, I don't like grandma." ”
"Why?"
"I don't know, I just don't like it. ”
"Grandma is very good to you. Du Caige said patiently.
"But I just don't like it. Cai Wei said coquettishly.
Perhaps, it was her animal-like sensitivity that she sensed a little bit of something wrong with Long Jiumei's spirit.
When the National Day was over, Du Caige finally completed two things.
The post-production of "Those Years" was all completed, including special effects, music, and dubbing, and he met with several directors currently signed by the company, Meng Zhaolong, Yu Shan, etc., to discuss and make the final edit, and now just wait for the review to be approved, you can upload it to the Yuanguang video website and start charging.
There is another thing that makes book fans celebrate: "Ghost Blows the Lamp" finally ushered in the finale.
In the end, the book consists of 5 volumes: the Exquisite Ancient City, the Longling Grotto, the Yunnan Worm Valley, the Kunlun Shrine and the Angry Eye Xiangxi.
Some of the contents of the original "Huangpizi Tomb", "South China Sea Returning to Ruins" and "Wuxia Coffin Mountain" were streamlined and put into "Angry Eye Xiangxi".
This also led to a very large number of words in this volume of Angry Eye Xiangxi: 480,000 words.
The book has a total of more than 1.5 million words, which is hundreds of thousands less than the original version.
But Du Caige believes that the content of his version is more concise, and the characters are more distinct.
Fans of the book are also largely satisfied with this ending.
Of course, there are also complaints, after all, even Mars has bar spirits.
In general, the comments in the book review area are still mostly positive.
Of course, the comments that appear most frequently are all kinds of feelings.
"In my lifetime, I finally waited. ”
"Ye Qingjie. ”
Well, both of them went on the wrong set.
In fact, "Ghost Blows the Lamp" has been serialized since April 15, and it has only been barely half a year now.
1.5 million words, 180 days, an average of 8,000 words updated per day.
That's actually a lot of speed.
It's just that during the serialization of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern", Du Caige wrote "Fairy Sword" and "Romance of the Dragon and Snake" one after another, which makes people feel that the time span is very large.
And in terms of update speed, the first 4 volumes are more than 10,000 words per day, or even 2 or 30,000 words.
I wrote 1 million words in 2 months.
The 480,000 words of volume 5 took nearly 4 months to write.
This makes the reader subjectively feel that time is long.
Du Caige also said hello to the fans in the alliance leader group and chatted a few words.
Many of the book friends who have joined his fan base now are not only following his books, but also paying attention to the songs he writes, the comics he licenses, and even his movies.
He appeared for a short while, and immediately had a group of unread messages 99+.
Fans scrambled to ask him about his plans for follow-up writing, the launch date of "Those Years", etc.
In the afterword of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern", Du Caige wrote: "This is the end of the story of the ghost blowing the lamp. But the story of tomb robbing has only just begun. I will no longer be engaged in the creation of tomb robbery themes, and I will never write "Ghost Blowing the Lantern 2", "Ghost Blowing the Lantern Postquel", "Ghost Blowing the Lantern Prequel" and the like. However, the founding Chinese website will launch a call for papers in the near future, authorizing all the authors of the founding Chinese website to continue to create under the framework of "Ghost Blowing the Lamp". According to reliable sources, the prize money for the grand prize will reach the level of one million yuan, even surpassing the prize money of most famous mainstream literary awards. ”
This passage also caused an uproar.
Acting and excellent singing, reading and excellent writing.
Readers read books, look at them, and in the ridicule of "you can do it", they get up and write an eloquent essay that shocks the world - this is not a fantasy, whether it is on the earth or in the blue star, similar things have happened many times.
It is said that after being intimidated, the god machine began to create on its own.
Therefore, in fact, the reader's enthusiasm for creation is very strong.
Even if they don't have the money to take it, many people are willing to write fanfiction for their favorites.
Not to mention the temptation of a million-dollar prize!
The purchasing power of the Great Chinese Dollar is still very strong, and the purchasing power of one million Great Chinese Dollar is roughly equivalent to three million soft sister coins.
The million-dollar bonus, coupled with the electronic sharing of remuneration, can really directly give birth to a middle-class writer with a car and a house.
So in the book review area, thousands of readers left messages asking for specific information about the essay.
Du Caige said: It will be revealed soon, so don't be impatient.
In fact, the upcoming essay collection is not only about tomb robbing.
There is also an essay on the national art stream.
The prize pool will also be in the millions.
In the discussion, there are also essays for "Fairy Sword", as well as essays for the torrent that has not yet been published.
Moreover, the essay call will be a long-term event, and it is expected to be held every year or two in the future.
This is to expand the materials of the Tomb Robbery Stream Movie Universe, the Guoshu Flow Movie Universe, the Sword and Fairy Stream Movie Universe, and the Flood Flow Movie Universe.
With the current film industry and film market in Dahuaguo, it is not enough to support the simultaneous laying and erection of the four movie universes.
But the cinematic universe itself is slowly formed.
is like a series of Marvel movies, from Iron Man and Hulk in 2008 to Women's Federation 4 and Captain Marvel in 2019, spanning 11 years.
And before Du Caige crossed, movies such as Galaxy Funny Team 3, Blade Warrior, and the new X-Men who sang and danced to defeat the bad guys had already been approved, and as long as they could continue to make money, the Marvel series of movies would continue to be filmed.
And don't forget, the Marvel Movie Universe also includes TV series.
Agent Carter and S.H.I.E.L.D. who cooperate with ABC, and Super Daredevil who cooperates with Netflix, Iron Fist, Luke Cage, Super Daredevil and so on.
That's tens of billions of dollars at the global box office, not to mention how many people in the TV and film industries these dozens of movies and TV series have fed.
And the Stars and Stripes have smoothly conveyed its values to billions of people around the world through these superhero movies.
It is conceivable that the top management of Dahua will definitely support local entertainment companies to create a movie universe.
Therefore, Du Caige was not worried that Dahua would not be able to accommodate his ambitious plans.
The 4 movie universes that are expected to be completed can be established in phases and batches.
If the strength of Dream Chase Mutual Entertainment is not enough, you can also cooperate with other companies.
As for the current film industry, there are still shortcomings......
Blockbuster movies can give positive feedback and feedback to the film industry.
When the film industry continues to evolve, it will be able to support better special effects, better equipment, more efficient shooting, and more elites who are invested in the industry chain, so as to promote the production of more high-grossing movies. (I'm talking about "sellout," not "good.") )
It was with all this in mind that Du Caige decided to launch an essay collection program on the founding Chinese website.
