Chapter 310: Revolution in the world of fiction

Chapter 310 of the text Revolution in the world of fiction

Next chapter

As early as when Wu Cheng returned from North America, "The Legend of Little Soldiers" had already ended.

Therefore, Wu Cheng really doesn't have much time to write novels. I wrote the beginning of "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty" before, but it was stopped because of "The Legend of Little Soldiers".

After that, Wu Cheng slowly became lazy. Even though it's all copied things, it's tiring to copy it often. What's more, Wu Cheng still has to copy the script and songs, and he has to film and direct.

No matter how energetic Wu Cheng is, he can't sit there twenty-four hours a day and sit there for those things. What's more, he still has so many girlfriends that he needs to coax.

Therefore, after the end of "The Legend of Little Soldiers", Wu Cheng began to be lazy. I even wondered if I should find some gunmen to come back, write an outline of the novel by myself, and let the gunman ghostwrite.

For example, like the screenwriting team of Donglong International, it also runs a private fiction studio.

Wu Shulan actually didn't understand that Wu Cheng was very busy, but she didn't need Wu Cheng to write it personally. Her meaning coincides with Wu Cheng, she only needs Wu Cheng to give an outline, and then find a gunner with some strength to write it on her behalf.

Finding someone to ghostwrite this kind of thing is actually a very common thing. Even Mr. Jin Yong had asked Ni Box to write 'Tianlong' on his behalf, let alone others.

There is really no way to find someone to ghostwrite, but the authors who are struggling at the bottom.

"What I mean is that you provide an outline, I'll find someone to write it for me, and I'll show it to you after I'm done, and if you think it's okay, then publish it, and if it doesn't work, I'll rework it, what do you think?"

Wu Shulan didn't beat around the bush, and directly told Wu Cheng about it.

Wu Cheng smiled when he heard this, and said, "Your thoughts coincide with mine, but I have an idea here, you can see how it is!"

"Little uncle, please speak! I'll listen to you!" Seeing that Wu Cheng was willing to think of a solution. Wu Shulan naturally would not refuse, so she had a good time.

Wu Cheng took a sip of boiled water and said, "My idea is like this......"

"Young Master Nephew. It's time to eat!"

When Wu Cheng was about to speak, the nanny who came from the uncle came out and called them to eat. Wu Cheng shrugged his shoulders. Smiled: "Let's go!

"Okay!"

At the dinner table, Wu Cheng continued the topic just now and said: "My idea is that the "Urban Entertainment Daily" should not continue to publish novels, and use the vacated pages to report entertainment news on the Hollywood side. As for the novel, let the newspaper create another week. ”

Zhao Yazhi glanced at Wu Cheng suspiciously, and said, "But that's it." Aren't you going to invite other authors to write papers......? That is, the surname is Ni, so you won't get in the way?"

"Uncle Xiao mean, let's hire some ghostwriters ourselves?"

Wu Cheng nodded and said: "If you invite an author from outside, the person surnamed Ni will definitely jump out and obstruct it, even if it can't pose a threat to us, you will disgust us." ”

Wu Cheng said, couldn't help chuckling, and said: "Actually, even if he wants to obstruct it, he can't stop it at all." Isn't our book publishing house also up now?"

Everyone nodded. Leslie Cheung on the side lowered his head to eat, and gave Zhou Huimin food from time to time. He has never liked to participate in this kind of thing. It's better to concentrate on eating.

Wu Shulan couldn't help but nod when she heard this, and finally asked, "So, what is the positioning of Zhou Xing Magazine? martial arts novels, or science fiction novels? Or is it a hodgepodge?"

When Wu Cheng heard this, he was silent for a while, and finally said, "Let's eat first! We'll talk later!"

Because he saw that Leslie Cheung had already eaten almost, and he would continue to chat. This dinner is probably endless.

After dinner, Leslie Cheung taught Xiao Min to play the piano downstairs. Wu Cheng and Wu Shulan entered the study, and Zhao Yazhi made tea for them on the side. Sit quietly and listen.

"The positioning of weekly magazines, I think it's better to be all-round!" Wu Cheng picked up the teacup and sighed lightly, "If it's just a faction, it will seem a little monotonous." It is inevitable to be a hodgepodge, and this does not need to be said. Moreover, in addition to martial arts and fairy tales, there are also science fiction nowadays, and I have other ideas, such as fantasy ......"

"Fantasy, what is it?" Wu Shulan was a little unsure.

Wu Cheng explained: "Western magic novels are called magic, and we can actually come up with a mysterious fantasy, such as our domestic masterpiece "Strange Tales from Liao Zhai", which can be said to be a fantasy or a mythological novel. But if it is called a mythological novel, it cannot be distinguished from Western magic and mythological novels. ”

Wu Cheng took a sip of tea as he spoke, and continued: "Therefore, it is most appropriate to call it 'Xuanfu'. Xianxia is an upgrade board for martial arts novels, and fantasy is also an upgraded version of martial arts novels, Xianxia continues the 'chivalry' in martial arts, and fantasy continues to be the 'martial arts' in martial arts, which weakens the 'chivalry' and then improves the 'martial arts'. ”

Although Wu Shulan didn't understand what Wu Cheng was talking about, she had a feeling of uncertainty, and nodded and said, "Little uncle, please continue!"

Wu Cheng smiled: "In addition to 'fantasy', there can also be science fiction, magic, and supernatural, which is the kind of ghost story...... Therefore, I think that this magazine can be named "Infinite Fantasy World", and then it is divided into several sections, fantasy, magic, Xianxia, martial arts, science fiction, supernatural, urban, history, for the time being, just a few!"

"Urban?history?" Wu Shulan was a little puzzled, and said, "Are they those novels with modern cities as the background and history as the background?"

Wu Cheng gave her a thumbs up and said with a smile: "Clever! That's what it means, urban novels can write about urban grievances and hatreds, can also write about various disputes within the family, and can even write about the urban life of capable people, and so on...... It is not difficult to write about the type of urban grievances and hatreds, and it can even be remade into a TV series or a movie in the future. ”

After a pause, he added: "The same is true of history, take history as the background, and then write about the battles of officialdom, or write biographies. Of course, you can also write martial arts with history as the background, but this kind of genre has the great god of Mr. Jin Yong in front, and it is almost impossible to write this, if you want to surpass it!"

Wu Shulan looked at Wu Cheng in a daze, and Zhao Yazhi also looked at him in a daze, both of them seemed to want to know if Wu Cheng's mental structure was different from others and why he could have so many ideas. If nothing else, these ideas alone can play a role in promoting a 'novel revolution'. This is not something that anyone can do.

"Little uncle, do you already have a manuscript of these types of novels?"

"There are a few stories like this, and you go back and set up a studio and recruit some authors with a little bit of skills. I'll give you a few outlines to come up with and let them pick and choose. The studio can give them the opportunity to co-sign, and as for the copyright, it is naturally the studio's. However, if they have their own ability, they can write it themselves after ghostwriting this one!"

Wu Shulan nodded when she heard this, and said, "So, what is the tentative salary?"

"Forty can be given for 1,000 words, plus joint authorship!"

"That's a lot more than the average author's fee!"

"How do you attract people to ghostwrite?"

Wu Shulan nodded, got up and said, "Then, I won't bother the little uncle, I will start to do this tomorrow, and then put an advertisement in the newspaper." ”

Wu Cheng laughed, stretched out a thumbs up to her, and said, "Clever! I don't need to teach you now!"

"Virtue!" Wu Shulan carried her bag and said to Zhao Yazhi: "Little aunt, I'll go first!"

Zhao Yazhi also got up and smiled: "Then, I won't beat you anymore." Alain, I'll send you!"

The two girls left the study, and Wu Cheng sat back at the desk, prepared paper and pen, and pondered which novels to copy. That being said, writing an outline is not an easy task either. Especially those serialized web novels in later generations. Because many authors often have a flash of inspiration when writing this, and then add some plot. And these plots, for the novel itself, are actually dispensable, just some plots that pretend to slap the face and make the reader feel a little cooler.

Therefore, if it weren't for a novel plagiarized from the original text like Wu Cheng, just write an outline, and then let people fill it in, and what was written in the end would definitely be different from the original work.

At this time, it is not so common to pretend to slap the face, and some authors will definitely not consciously think of these when they write, because in terms of visibility, it is a little worrying.

Wu Cheng felt that even if he wrote the outline, it was really difficult to say whether what those gunmen wrote in the end could make people shine.

Perhaps, this matter is not as simple as he imagined and not necessarily.

Either way, you have to try it first.

Eight types, Wu Cheng thinks, only the supernatural ones don't need to be outlined, because of this genre, he has read fewer novels by himself. Moreover, the only few books I have read are not in line with the current background of the times, so there is no need to write them.

But soon, Wu Cheng dispelled this idea again, because he thought of the TV series "Zombie Dao Chief" in the nineties. And a few years later, "Mr. Zombie" and these movies.

In addition, there is also the later "I Have a Date with a Zombie", which feels a bit like a love fantasy drama, but it can be barely reluctantly regarded as a supernatural.

However, thinking that 'Uncle Ying' is now in Donglong International, it is completely possible to list the outline of "Zombie Chief", and then have someone ghostwrite it and write it into a novel mode. At that time, there will be no problem with the development of multiple channels such as publishing, movies, and TV series adaptations!

The supernatural class wrote "Zombie Dao Chief", and after this was settled, Wu Cheng began to ponder other types of novels. Martial arts is relatively simple, because before, he had planned to write the novel "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty", and now it would be good to list the outline of this novel.
