Chapter 145: Just copy "The Legend of the Little Soldier"
After writing history, write Xianxia, and write what Xianxia writes, this is worth considering.
First of all, foreign novels and supernatural novels can be excluded.
He has hardly read foreign novels, only movies. used to be poor in English, Wu Cheng said that it was a pity, he knew that he could cross, so he went to read more foreign novels.
As for supernatural novels, he has only read "Ghost Blows the Lamp" and "Notes on Tomb Robbery". Or because they were so popular, and there was a movie again, he went back to read the novel.
If that's all there is to it, you can copy it. But the problem is that both stories take place in a later era than the time period he is in now.
In this way, this supernatural class can be ruled out first.
The fantasy category can be written, but the problem is that if it is to be made into a TV series, it will be more troublesome. Wu Cheng is also struggling with whether to give up the TV series reprint.
Speaking of which, if it is just a TV series reword, there is nothing to give up, but the problem is that adapting it into a TV series is actually a kind of propaganda for the novel itself, which is very helpful for the sales of the novel. If 'Hui Ming' had not been promoted by a TV series, it would not have been possible to sell more than 4 million copies in Hong Kong and Taiwan in just over two months.
A set of 'Hui Ming' is 12 volumes, more than 6 million copies, in fact, there are only one million sets. The price of a volume is three yuan, plus discounts or something, and excluding due taxes, as well as the due expenses of the publishing house, etc., the overall net income is about 10 million, and 20% is distributed to Wu Shulan, and Wu Cheng himself has about 8 million.
redeemed the villa, and the remaining five or six million were also used by Wu Cheng to pay off the arrears of the Wu family.
It cost 50 million to acquire 50 percent of the shares of the Urban Entertainment Newspaper before, and 450 million is still unpaid!
Yes, Wu Cheng is still a little hot about the right to adapt TV series, it's all money.
However, once there is the constraint of this condition, the novels that Wu Cheng can think of are relatively limited. After thinking about it, Wu Cheng set his goal on "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty".
But the next day, Wu Cheng changed his mind, because when Wu Shulan called him to urge the manuscript the next day, he mentioned something.
"Little uncle, is your new book ready?
Wu Cheng didn't know why, and said, "What does this have to do with that guy?
"People are jealous of your grades!" Wu Shulan chuckled: "As soon as the sales of 'Huiming' came out last week, those authors were envious." Moreover, what is even more unacceptable is that you are not a pure author, but also a boss who owns several companies and has assets of hundreds of millions, and as a result, you still go to grab food from others, who are you who are not blacked by others!"
Wu Cheng was a little speechless, thinking that Lao Ni was a little painful!
"What did he say?
"He dare!" Wu Shulan snorted, "But everyone can see that he is targeting you." Saying that you haven't published a new book for so long, it must be Jiang Lang's end, and it's useless for readers to urge you, even if you write, you will definitely not be able to get out of the old-fashioned category, the tighter the urging, the worse the new book. β
"That's right!" Wu Cheng said: "This kind of Cheng dΓΉ, why are you angry!"
"Take a look at today's Oriental Daily for yourself!"
"Nacheng, I'll hang up first, and I'll call you later!"
Wu Cheng hung up the phone, picked up the newspaper prepared by Aunt Chen on the coffee table, and took out the "Oriental Daily" and read it. It didn't take long to find the article on the second page.
Although the author's name is not Ni Box, Wu Cheng knows that this guy named 'Nine Cylinder Layman' is him. I also used this pen name to fight with Wu Cheng before.
Wu Cheng estimated that this guy was not only envious of his achievements, but also promoted himself. This guy is a person who knows how to take advantage of loopholes and seize opportunities.
continued to flip through the pages of "Oriental Daily", and Wu Cheng found that this guy really had a reason, because the new movie "Shaolin Temple" was preparing to be released in two days.
The 76th version of "Shaolin Temple" is a martial arts drama produced by Shaw Brothers, the screenwriter is Ni Frame, and the director is Zhang Che, the great director. In the sixties and seventies, people called him 'the hero of the Hong Kong film generation', and you can imagine how high his status is in the film industry.
However, Wu Cheng knew that this guy was going to slowly get out of fashion, and in the early eighties, he withdrew from the Shaw Brothers stage and gradually declined. Compared with the current movies, in fact, he has been slowly eliminated by the times, coming and going is just a few tricks, and it is strange that the audience is not annoying.
Of course, this cannot erase his contribution to Hong Kong films.
In addition, several of his disciples are also famous figures, such as Dillon, Jiang Dawei, Qian Xiaohao, Chen Guantai, etc., and even Wu Yusen can be regarded as his disciples.
It can be said that he was Taishan Beidou among martial arts movie directors in the sixties and seventies, and he was a big man in the martial arts league. In front of him, Wu Cheng can only be regarded as a small character.
If it weren't for Wu Cheng being the boss of the film company, he wouldn't be qualified to speak in front of him.
In fact, Wu Cheng didn't know that Zhang Che was somewhat 'unhappy' with Wu Cheng, one is that Wu Cheng is young, and the other is that Wu Cheng is young and at the same time makes such a blockbuster movie, he simply doesn't let the old-timers live! In the face of such a 'jumping' junior, how can you make the old-timers embarrassed?
Therefore, these two old-timers who have some opinions about Wu Cheng, a junior, will give Wu Cheng eye medicine after a little sum up behind their backs. At the same time, with the help of the popularity of Wu Cheng's topical character, stirring up their new film is simply killing two birds with one stone!
"Shaolin Temple" was released, and Wu Cheng knew it. Shao Tycoon had also mentioned to him before that he wanted Feilong Cinema to provide him with some curtains!
However, Wu Cheng didn't agree to them, because they also have a new film released in Donglong, and they can't give up a good schedule just because they repay their favors. He didn't ask them for help before!
However, sooner or later, this love will have to be repaid. Wu Cheng has promised them that after the Spring Festival is over, he will give them a chance to jointly release it.
However, he didn't know before that "Shaolin Temple" was actually written by Ni Frame.
Being hacked and silent, that is not Wu Cheng's style, even the old-timers.
Because of this, Wu Cheng choked up in the Urban Entertainment Newspaper, bluntly saying that some old-timers are not authentic, they are very thick-skinned, and they have no confidence in the release of new films, so they actually want to use the popularity of his young man to hype. Who is Jiang Lang's talent, let's look at the results of this old-timer's new film!
In addition, Wu Cheng also directly stated that he is preparing a new science fiction book, and it is expected that it will be serialized in the City Entertainment Newspaper the day after tomorrow, so stay tuned!
Wu Cheng didn't scold, but just replied to the other party in a ridiculous way, giving people a sense of personability and gentleness. Compared with Ni Frame's face, many people feel that Wu Cheng, a young man, has a rare bearing.
In the end, Wu Chengcai showed the sharpness that a teenager should have, faced the majesty of challenging Ni Frame, the god of science fiction, and actually threatened to write a new science fiction book, which really made readers happy.
was already struggling with what kind of new book to copy, but now that Ni Frame called it, Wu Cheng directly gave up the idea of copying 'Datang' and replaced it with copying science fiction.
Thinking of science fiction, Wu Cheng thought of "The Legend of Little Soldiers" in science fiction novels, after all, this book is one of the four strange books on the Internet. I copied "Zhu Xian" in the Four Great Wonder Books of Netqi before, and now I copy another copy of "The Legend of Little Soldiers", which is not a big deal.
With the test of "Huiming" and the consolidation of "Zhu Xian", Wu Cheng is no longer worried about the problem that "The Legend of Little Soldiers" will hit the streets. Moreover, will the 'creeps' be bad?
He even thought about it, went back and wrote 'Little Soldier', copied "Zichuan" as well, and then copied other fantasy ones. TV series adaptation or something, just leave it alone.
In this era, there are countless novels waiting for him to copy in the future!
However, in "The Legend of Little Soldiers", many words need to be modified by Wu Cheng himself.
After all, it is a product of the 21st century, and many of the terms used on the Internet in the book are simply incomprehensible to people in this period. Even many things that seem ordinary to people in the 21st century seem a little inexplicable to people in this era.
For example, the book mentions many times, especially online games, that in the 21st century, things are all too commonplace. But in the eyes of people in this period, it was almost fantastical and incredible. At this time, the Internet had not yet developed! Games were still very simple stand-alone games, let alone online games.
Therefore, in order to make the audience understand, Wu Cheng had to add some explanations.
In this way, the speed of copying the 'creeps' will not be fast. Fortunately, Wu Cheng's hand speed is first-class, and his physique is different from ordinary people, and it is not a problem to copy four or five thousand words in an hour.
But it can't be compared with when copying "Zhu Xian".
β¦β¦
"Xiao Cheng, how does your head grow?" Zhao Yazhi couldn't help but spit out Lan Ruo after reading the manuscript in his hand, and then looked at Wu Cheng curiously, blinked his starry eyes, and said with some longing: "Will the world really become like this in the future?
Wu Cheng stopped writing when he heard this, looked at her and said with a smile: "Who knows what will happen in thousands of years? I only know that we will definitely not see this kind of miracle in our lives!"
"How do you look at what you're writing as if it's true. Zhao Yazhi couldn't help but wonder, "How did you come up with it? These fantasies about the future are much stronger than the writer who scolded you!"
Wu Cheng smiled when he heard this, but the smile was somewhat embarrassed and disappeared.
