Chapter 424: The Novel That Can't Be Stopped [Three More Requests for Subscription]
"You don't even participate in the roadshow?
An Mi opened his mouth to hug Zhang Chu, if it was a roadshow in other places or colleges, it would be reasonable not to invite Zhang Chu, but this is Yan University, which is Zhang Chu's base camp.
The rest of the students didn't have too complicated thinking, and they all felt that the publisher's approach was a bit excessive.
"I thought you were going to go on stage, why can't the author of the original book participate in the roadshow?"
"I saw that the psychological crime crew was coming to our Yanda before, and I really thought it was to cooperate with you. ”
"Let's cross the river and tear down the bridge, it's a bit of a bad feeling. ”
When they didn't enter the society, the relationship between classmates was still very pure, and there were not too many other things.
After hearing these supportive remarks, Zhang Chu was quite moved, and he explained: "Do you think it is a good thing to participate in the roadshow?
"Well, participating in the roadshow is to increase exposure, I think to be famous, you need to have exposure. ”
The words of this classmate speak to everyone's heart, and they all think that participating in the roadshow is a status symbol and has great benefits for the expansion of popularity.
However, this kind of thinking is not right at all, "If you look at those who participate in the roadshow, there are relatively few big names, and most of them are fledgling actors and directors." It's too hard to run so many cities in just one month. What's more, they invited me, but I had a class this afternoon and had to go back to writing in the evening, so I pushed it off. ”
"I see! It's good to take a leave of absence from class, as for you, you seem to have finished writing "Sou Shen Ji", right?"
The squad leader Xie Wei suddenly realized that it was not that people were not invited, but that Zhang Chu did not go!
"It is estimated that the readers of "The Legend of Wukong" heard your words and wanted to beat you. Zhang Chu responded humorously, he didn't want to be a mascot on stage, and it was better to go home and write a book when he had time.
After all, he is not a star, he can only be the foil of those stars during the roadshow, many writers participate in the roadshow, but most of the time they just sit on the side and listen quietly, there is no audience and no host to give them the opportunity to ask questions and answers!
The gap between the front and back of the stage is so far, not to mention that this is in Yenching University, Zhang Chu just wants to be an ordinary student, so as not to even have a friend to talk to in the future.
The so-called roadshow, in the eyes of industry insiders, is a journey of hunger and thirst, sleeping, and out of breath, and only those who have signed a contract will do this kind of tiring thing.
Generally speaking, in addition to members of the production department, the head of the film promoter, and the head of the distributor, the people who participate in the roadshow also include the main creator of the film and the personal team of the main creators, including agents, corporate publicity, stylists and assistants.
The main creators are mainly directors and actors, and this time the roadshow of "Psychological Crime" relies almost entirely on actors, and director Xu Ji is too old to stand up to fatigue and travel, so he will only appear at the premiere in Yanjing.
Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, and Wuchenghang, this is an old saying in the industry, it is the most important box office city for movies, and after the first stop of the Yanda Roadshow, they will take the private jet specially provided by Yida Pictures to travel among these big cities!
After the afternoon class, Zhang Chu did not stay at the school, he was worried that Xu Ji, the old man, would come over directly to coax him to the roadshow press conference.
In order to avoid this from happening, he simply ran away!
Sure enough, the filmmaker will not miss the opportunity of this Yanda roadshow, even if Zhang Chu did not appear on the scene, the host, director, and actors frequently mentioned this name.
Zhang Chu looked at the short video posted by his classmates on the Internet, he couldn't help but shake his head and laugh, he didn't expect that he would also be praised one day.
After closing the web page, he was ready to focus on it and write "The Legend of Wukong" with all his might.
In this world where there is no "Journey to the West" movie, Zhang Chu is not sure that readers can feel the love story between Wukong and Zixia Fairy, but he has to try.
The title of the book is "The Legend of Wukong", and the character with the most ink in it must be Sun Wukong, this well-known mythological character is the hero of many children's youth?
However, as soon as he appeared, he lost his nature, and always felt that he had lost some important memories, and Sun Wukong, who had been extracted from his memories, always doubted everything he heard about him.
Is he amnesiac, confused, and the Monkey King who traveled west to learn scriptures just to add merits, or is he a Monkey King with a flamboyant personality, unrestrained clothes, and worshiped by the demon world?
In this one, every image has a rich and complex past, and it is not such a typical, face-painted character in Journey to the West, which goes beyond the original image interpretation framework, and the anti-typing is carried out very thoroughly!
In the ninety-nine eighty-one difficulties of learning scriptures in the West, many of the disasters encountered by Tang monks and apprentices were caused by the negligence and poor supervision of immortals or Buddhas.
Due to the negligence of the immortals, their mounts or subordinate boys went to the world to cause chaos, but in the end, there was no punishment, just returned to the original life, harmed the world and helped the gods to achieve a good story.
Those who are killed have no background, and the monsters with backgrounds all go with the backstage, and they don't need to bear any responsibility!
These gods are the villains inside, they are obscene, selfish, greedy for life and afraid of death, the Jade Emperor is cowardly and incompetent, the Queen Mother is arrogant and domineering, and they are very ugly.
The love element is unavoidable, and many writers can't grasp the true meaning of love, and the emotional scenes they write make people unable to complain.
However, in "The Legend of Wukong", readers' thinking is about to be changed, and it turns out that Zhang Chu, a single dog, can actually write about love.
Most of the content is dialogue, which is not too difficult to write, who makes Zhang Chu not the real creator.
"Journey to the West" basically tells the plot development in chronological order, but "The Legend of Wukong" unfolds in two different time and space, 500 years ago and 500 years later.
In the process of telling the story, the pen is turned from time to time from time to time, bringing the reader's attention to 500 years ago, and at the same time narrating the story of the past and the present.
The whole book is almost 100,000 words, divided into 20 chapters to write, and Zhang Chu wrote the first chapter almost without a pause!
……
Xu Haifeng doesn't know how many times he has refreshed Weibo, but every time he is disappointed.
"Follow fate, when will this fate wait?"
was whetted by "The Legend of Wukong", he wanted to see the unruly Sun Monkey, and wanted to see what else Zhang Chu could write about Journey to the West.
He was full of resentment towards Zhang Chu, probably like taking off his pants and finding that his girlfriend came to his aunt, "I won't chase updates in the future, let's finish reading this book!"
I'm afraid Xu Haifeng himself can't remember how many such sentences he has said, and every time he says that he won't chase it, he won't chase it, but those writers he likes hurriedly run to read it as soon as they release a new book, even if it's a seedling with only one or two chapters.
Maybe he didn't have a fate with Wukong today, Xu Haifeng put his mobile phone in his trouser pocket, ready to go to the bar in his friend's car, he was trying to learn to integrate into the things his friends liked.
Waiting for the elevator was a little boring, he took out his mobile phone casually, subconsciously refreshed the Weibo, and then saw the long Weibo posted by Zhang Chu two minutes ago.
"Hahahaha, I almost missed it!"
[The four of them walked here, there was a dense forest in front of them, and there was no road again. "Wukong, I'm hungry, find something to eat. Tang Seng sat down on the stone and said.
"I'm busy, you won't go find it yourself?...... It's not that there are no legs. Sun Wukong said with a stick.
"What are you busy with?"
"Don't you think this sunset is beautiful?" Sun Wukong said, his eyes still looking at the sky, "I only have to look at this, so that I can insist on walking west every day." ”
"You can look at it as you go, as long as you don't hit the tree. ”
"I don't do anything when I watch the sunset!"
At the beginning of the long series of dialogues, Xu Haifeng was a little confused, and he always felt that something was wrong.
Even if Sun Wukong had a dispute with Tang Sanzang in "Journey to the West", his attitude was not like this, and even Zhu Bajie actually shouted bald at Tang Seng directly.
Why can't they find the West Heaven, and the curse on them will never be lifted?
When did Sun Wukong develop the habit of watching the sunset at 45°?
Anyway, this one doesn't seem to have anything in common with "Journey to the West Diary", and it doesn't seem to be the same as "Journey to the West" except for the characters!
Shouldn't Tang Sanzang be polite?
would actually use a commanding tone to speak to Sun Wukong, Zhu Bajie, who has always been afraid of his senior brother, actually dared to pinch each other with him, and even Monk Sha seemed to have bid farewell to his loyal and honest image.
No wonder "three villains" are directly used to describe these three apprentices!
"It's a bit interesting, Tang Seng went to turn his fate by himself, and Sun Wukong will also complain about Tang Seng's fatal attraction to female goblins, and there will definitely be female goblins in the future, it's just a routine!"
Even if he had guessed a little bit about the plot behind, Xu Haifeng still held his mobile phone and continued to read.
Tang Seng met the tree demon, which couldn't even make him make a little wave, and the three apprentices didn't react at all after hearing the master's cry for help.
However, when the scene of the banshee meeting Sun Wukong appeared, Xu Haifeng was completely puzzled!
[The woman hugged his legs: "Is it you? It's really you? I'm not dreaming?"
She raised her ugly face and looked at Sun Wukong with infinite affection, and tears slipped down her eyes.
Sun Wukong only felt trembling all over, as if his internal organs were beating, his image was not good, what kind of magic is this, he only felt that he had a thousand powers, but he didn't need it at all at the moment. 】
This is completely the lice on the head of the bald donkey, and it is clear that the female monster actually has an adulterous affair with Sun Wukong!
