Chapter 905: Theme Innovation
Xu Qing thought that Jiang Ziyun might have deliberately placed the time period of "Tomb Robbery Notes: Seven Star Lu Wang" a month before the summer file.
Originally, Jiang Ziyun was in a hurry to cooperate with Xu Qing when filming "Tomb Robbery Notes: Seven Star King Lu". Jiang Ziyun's idea is to be the first person to eat crabs.
The theme of tomb robbery has just become popular in the novel industry, and it is actually a long way to go before it becomes popular in the film and television industry.
According to the experience of the previous life, it is actually ten years after the novels "Notes on Tomb Robbery" and "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" have become popular for ten years, and film and television dramas with the theme of tomb robbery have become popular on a large scale.
Specifically, in fact, if you have to investigate, "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" is not necessarily the so-called ancestor of tomb robbery.
In the past, there were still few zombie-themed movies? Many of them were caused by the participation of tomb robbers, resulting in zombie injuries.
It is said that "Ghost Blows Out the Lamp" is the originator of tomb robbery novels, but in fact, it does not mean that "Ghost Blows the Lamp" is the first work to describe the theme of tomb robbery in an absolute sense. To put it simply, it is actually "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" here on the basis of the past, which has completed the sublimation. Let readers know that tomb robbing can be so exciting.
I don't know if there was any misunderstanding, but the words of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" at that time really drove the whole theme to become popular. Because of the popularity of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern", there were countless followers for a while. "Notes on Tomb Robbery" followed the craze and became popular.
It's just that the writing of the third uncle is indeed excessive. That's why we can achieve the honor of "the pinnacle of tomb robbery novels".
The world of fiction is also about innovation, and in the final analysis, readers are indeed inevitably aesthetically fatigued sometimes. Especially after the world of fiction has fully matured, there are rarely cases where there are no books to read. In fact, innovation in the world of fiction is indeed very necessary.
What is the case? Innovation is a plus. The great gods of others are not innovative, and their own works are at the level of 100 points, reaching a high level of 90 or even 95 points.
Such a great masterpiece, even if it is not a too innovative theme. Readers absolutely love it, too.
But innovation is a plus. If an author's own ability can only write at the level of seventy points. In this case, his innovative subject matter and innovative material are indeed a situation that attracts readers. Seventy percent of the works are just generally excellent. But when the reader sees it, it is a routine that he has not seen. The interest immediately increased.
In the end, the actual score of this work may be 70 points of its own level, plus 17 or 8 points, and at most 20 points of innovation plus points. In this way, the total score is about 90 points. The corresponding results are also at this level.
In fact, the situation is that in fact, those great gods are not necessarily completely unable to innovate. But at the end of the day, there are two sides to innovation. Without you noticing, your innovative style may be something that the audience likes, or it may be a change that will cause a considerable part of the audience to resent it.
Therefore, if you have to innovate at the level of 90 points of the great god, the final situation of the new work is likely to fluctuate between 70 and 100 points.
If the innovation is good, the level of the great god's works will also be improved. But from ninety-two and three, it has been raised to ninety-seven and eight, and at most a hundred points. So for the great gods, the ascension is actually limited.
However, if you accidentally innovate and go wrong, it is very likely that you will smash your own golden signboard.
So for the great gods, it is still mainly stable. It is enough to find a popular subject that you are really good at, write a work, and ensure a level of more than 90 points.
But for authors below the god level, it is actually possible to consider innovation.
But at the same time, this situation is not suitable for writers with lower levels of proficiency.
It's like the case with tomb robbing. You're not good enough, even if everyone isn't paying attention to tomb robbing. One step ahead of "Ghost Blowing the Lamp", a similar work was written.
The reader here will not feel that there is anything worth studying at all. Isn't it just nonsense? Just a gimmick, the content turns out to be very boring. There's really no need to look any further. No one will remember you as an innovative writer.
But in terms of your own writing and so on, you already have a level of fifty or sixty points. At this time, if you find a way to innovate and fail, you will hit the street again. But if it just tickles the itch in the reader's heart. Maybe you can rely on this book to become popular.
In Xu Qing's last life, he only figured this out after hitting a wall several times. In the final analysis, novices still look for popular themes and improve their level first. There is not enough writing and plot link ability. Even if you innovate, you won't have a positive effect.
Putting aside this situation, there is actually a process for the theme that has just become popular in the novel industry to become popular in the film and television industry.
In the previous life, it took ten years to complete this transformation of the tomb robbery theme.
But the actual situation is, first of all, before the novel "Notes on Tomb Robbery" came out. In fact, there are similar gimmicks in the film and television industry. It's just that the screenwriter at that time just had ideas. But its own writing, the ability to set off the atmosphere, and conceive the plot are still not enough. That's why such a theme didn't become popular.
When the novel of "Ghost Blows the Lantern" became popular, followed by "Notes on Tomb Robbery" and other tomb robbery works, it became popular. Film and television dramas with the theme of tomb robbery have ushered in the first opportunity to rise.
At that time, in fact, there were no movies and TV series here in "Ghost Blowing the Lantern". When film and television drama companies get excellent works, they generally have to fry IP first.
What do you mean, don't rush to shoot yet. Five million bought the film and television adaptation rights, and you can shoot it yourself. But at the same time, it is also possible to look at the situation. If the popularity of novels continues to rise, the value of film and television drama adaptation rights will gradually increase.
Chances are, you don't need your own company to shoot at all. As soon as it was sold directly, it was sold for 10 million. I didn't do anything, and I made a net profit of five million. Such a thing, of course, is good to come back a few times.
And at the same time. When the best works experience such hype, it is impossible for those low-end crews in the industry to watch such a big piece of cake and wait for the giants in the industry to swallow it at the last bite.
Now that you see an opportunity, of course you have to go for it.
