Chapter 357: Hot
As for the fourth point - rewards!
In the era of increasing commercialization of online articles, the core of every online article is almost a cool article!
Since it's a cool article,How to make readers feel cool from the story,It's an unavoidable topic,In this regard,The popular online game works in the past few years,It's done very well、Very thoroughly,It's also very obvious!
The most typical example is that a very common phenomenon in online game works is that after the protagonist fights monsters and kills people, he will immediately get a variety of rewards, such as killing a monster, and the monster's corpse will immediately become a pile of gold coins, or the Boots of the Wind, the Shadow Dagger or something, more directly, after killing a monster, a martial arts cheats will immediately appear on the ground.
In real life, if you kill a chicken or slaughter a pig, you can immediately get a bunch of gold coins, or martial arts cheats or something.
This cool point, in addition to the fact that real-life online games also do this, is also one point - readers like to see the protagonist work hard and get rewards immediately.
In real life, why don't many people feel comfortable going to work?
The reason for this may be the word reward!
If you make a copy of the article at work, as soon as it is handed over to the leader, there will be a bunch of gold coins scattered to you immediately, or directly give you a book of martial arts cheats, I believe that most people will feel that the work is also very cool!
"Dragon and Snake Rise" is not an online game work, and the rewards in the story naturally cannot be given so obviously, Wang Chao's martial arts go further. It's impossible for him to hear "Ding!"
It is also impossible that after Wang Chao defeats or kills a master, a golden light will fall from the sky and envelop him. And hear a "Ding! Congratulations on your experience increase by 5,000!"
It is even more unlikely that the corpse of the master he killed will be turned into a book of martial arts cheats.
Can't write so obviously so fake!
But as a cool core online article, "Dragon and Snake Rise" can also often reward the protagonist, the reward is very hidden, and the reward can also be varied.
For example, after a period of hard cultivation, Wang Chao's strength increased and his moves became more proficient. It can also be that Wang Chao gains greater fame and the favor of a beautiful woman after defeating a master. Or the appreciation of a master of national arts, and then teach him a trick or two.
After Wang Chao killed a master, he could attract Tang Zichen's attention and enhance the relationship between the two.
If you have to reward with money. It can also be in Wang Chao's progress. Let the big boss who hired him take the initiative to give him bonuses or salary increases.
These things, after the novel is written, the reader looks at it naturally, and it seems that they are all very normal plots, and there are no rewards or anything involved.
But when writing an outline, you can list these things into a system, and the standard of rewards can be from low to high.
Many people divide online articles into upgraded and non-upgraded articles, which is actually to put it bluntly. Authentic online articles are all upgraded articles, without exception! It's just that some authors write the upgrade system in the open, and the martial arts level is written at the first, second, and third levels, and fools can see that it is an upgrade article, and some online articles hide the upgrade behind the text, if you don't pick it up, it's hard to find it, but as long as it's a cool article, there must be an upgrade system.
Authors who are aware of this,Can write this hidden upgrade very coolly,Authors who don't realize this,The hidden upgrade system is very messy.,At the beginning, the biggest reward and upgrade was given to the protagonist.,Later,When you can't give a bigger and better reward.,Readers are naturally disappointed.,It's not cool.。
……
Lu Yang combined these four main lines into one, and the shelf of "Dragon and Snake Rises from the Land" was immediately built, and the story outline was very clear from beginning to end.
On the basis of the main line, conceive the storyline, when, is he devoted to cultivation, and then his cultivation is improved; where to appear a small boss, let the protagonist kill the reader, and after killing, give the protagonist some rewards.
Because of a chance understanding, the story of "Dragon and Snake Rises from the Land" was broken down into many components by Lu Yang, just like dissecting a cow, carefully analyzing the flesh, blood vessels, nerves, and skeleton, and then rebuilding it according to this structure.
In the eyes of outsiders, Lu Yang has become a little strange recently, he seems to be thinking about something all day long, even when he walks and eats, he looks like he is out of the way, sometimes, when someone calls him during work hours, he has to shout two or three times to bring him back to his senses.
In private, some teachers said that the rich were unwilling to continue playing with the poor, and Lu Yang was thinking about the idea of making money all day long.
Only Cao Xue and Tong Yaqian, who are close to Lu Yang, know that Lu Yang has been working on a new book recently, and the two women are very curious about this, because they have never seen Lu Yang in such a state.
There is less smile on his face, and he basically has a stunned expression all day long, and he is "in a daze" from time to time, just holding a pen and paper and burying his head in writing and drawing.
Sometimes they can understand the written words, but sometimes they can't understand the lines and the numbers marked A1, A2, B3, B4 and so on.
At other times, Lu Yang took a blank piece of paper and quickly sketched with a pencil, outlining the scene when the two characters were fighting, which made them can't help but think of the scene at the beginning of Bruce Lee's movie "Game of Death".
At the beginning of "Game of Death", Bruce Lee practiced a move martial arts technique while sketching out the appearance of the move with a brush on the blank book.
And these sketches drawn by Lu Yang recently have that feeling, they are a little surprised that Lu Yang actually has such painting skills, and what is even more surprising is that Lu Yang is in this state, isn't he also writing a book of martial arts cheats?
Is it necessary to be so serious about writing a web novel?
Lu Yang's recent abnormality naturally reached the ears of Vice President Sun and others, and the difference from before was that perhaps it was because he knew Lu Yang's current general net worth, and knew that this job was dispensable for Lu Yang, Vice President Sun and Vice President Lu did not say anything, only the director of academic affairs Chen Jian and the director of school affairs Ji Deping, who usually have a bad attitude towards Lu Yang, which can be described as frowning and indifferent.
If Vice President Sun hadn't greeted them, he might have often come to Lu Yang's office to criticize Lu Yang.
……
During this period, Lu Yang often received calls and Q'Q messages from some people.
Wang Lin told him about the box office of "The Gate of Rebirth" in Hong Kong, Taiwan and Southeast Asia, and every time, after Wang Lin and Lu Yang reported the box office of Hong Kong, Taiwan and Southeast Asia, Wang Lin would always ask: "Wenda! Is there a script for the new movie?
Every time he was asked this question, Lu Yang frowned.
His recent mind is on the new book, and he hasn't thought about the new movie at all.
After experiencing the release of "The Gate of Rebirth", Lu Yang no longer knows nothing about the film industry as before, not to mention the current movies and Hollywood blockbusters, even if it is a mainland and Hong Kong and Taiwan film, the investment and star lineup are getting stronger and stronger.
Correspondingly, when the movie is released, the competitors it faces will become stronger and stronger.
In Lu Yang's memory, Wu Yan starred in a "Wolf Teeth", Lu Yang himself watched it very well, and felt that Wu Yan had put a lot of thought into this movie, and the quality of the film could at least be regarded as middle to high-class, but it was such a movie, under the strangulation of blockbusters such as "Ip Man", the box office seemed to be very unsatisfactory.
What does this mean?
Lu Yang believes that in the next few years, it will be more and more difficult for small-budget films to achieve high box office, not because small-budget films can't become good films, but because the big casts and strong star lineups are too strong!
The picture quality of the movie alone is not a grade at all, coupled with the box office appeal of those big stars, the movie has not yet been released, and it can be properly concluded that most of the small-budget movies will be strangled.
Just like the release of "The Gate of Rebirth" this time, as a small-budget movie without a star lineup, the theaters are generally not optimistic, and can only contact one or two theaters for release.
On the first day of the film's release, only 52 theaters showed it.
And what about "Disciple", which has a big investment and a strong star cast?
Almost at the beginning, it was a nationwide theater co-screening, and the first movie was copied with more than 800 copies.
Not at all than that.
How many movies have a box office of more than 10 million every year, but they can't get back to their original costs?
The film market is so risky, how can Lu Yang dare to come up with a script as hastily as he did the first time and start filming immediately?
Not only is Wang Lin asking about the script and plan of Lu Yang's new movie, but five or six local tyrant fans in Lu Yang's book fan group who are not bad for money have also recently sent a private message to Lu Yang, saying that as long as Wen Da makes a new movie, they can invest how many tens of thousands.
For example, the alliance leader Pan Niu, Lan Ren, banknote movies, and Chizhong ......
There are also some great god authors in the dark realm group, and a few of them have recently either sent text messages or called Lu Yang, saying that they also intend to invest some money in the new movies invested by Lu Yang and participate in dividends.
Among them, there are big tigers, boiling dust, passing lambs, and the third young master and others.
It seems that the success of Lu Yang's "The Gate of Rebirth" has given these people a lot of confidence, thinking that as long as Lu Yang invests in another movie, he will definitely be able to make money.
Among them, many people were confused by the box office of more than 30 million in the mainland of "The Gate of Rebirth".
thought that the box office in the mainland alone was enough for Lu Yang to earn more than 10 million.
……
In addition to these people, there is also Teng Hu, since he mentioned to Lu Yang last time that he hoped that Lu Yang would make a kung fu movie in his next movie, he recently called again, saying that he had contacted a few very good friends, everyone had one or two stunts, and he might have to come to Lu Yang for an interview recently.
These all annoyed Lu Yang.
I don't want to make a hasty decision about the new movie.
There is also good news, it was Wu Shun who called to tell Lu Yang, saying that it was the county seat in his hometown, and he recently went back to see that there were several pieces of land suitable for building a house.
Asked Lu Yang if he wanted to take it down. (To be continued......)
PS: Thank you Niu Binye for the reward of 100 coins.
