That's right, Zhu Mingli's new book project is "The Martian".

After thinking about it for a long time, Zhu Mingli finally decided to copy a book!

As the saying goes, horses have no night grass and no fertilizer, and people have no windfall and no wealth.

"In the previous life", as a hardcore reader and several years of online writer career, the bridge of rebirth and copying novels has been annoyed by readers, and the author has written badly!

Even many published online novels are directly plagiarized from others, some writers are a little reserved, copying novels from other stations, and some writers are thick-skinned, and they directly copy the novels of this site, just change the name of the protagonist, and publish other plots as they are, and swear that they are just for reference.

It is not shy to say that Zhu Mingli also thought about plagiarism when he first started writing novels in his previous life, and even wandered around various novel websites for a while, ready to find a novel that could be "borrowed".

However, Zhu Mingli finally did not pass the level in his heart, gave up the idea of borrowing, and insisted on originality.

But now, after thinking about it for a while, Zhu Mingli finally decided to borrow a book or two!

Because Mingli found that, like many predecessors of the Rebirth Stream, when he decided to copy a book, he was not as uneasy as when he was ready to copy a novel in his later life, as he was when he wanted to "borrow" someone else's novel in his "previous life", but he had no fear.

At this time, Zhu Mingli knew the reason, this was really a moment and that time.

The reason why I feel uneasy when I want to copy someone else's book in my "previous life" is because the books I want to copy have already been published by others, and once I really copy someone else's book, if one or two readers have read the original book, they will know that the book is plagiarized.

The nature of Zhu Mingli's current copying is completely different, and it can really be said to be a reference.

It's like there is a joke about "Breaking the Sky" and "Martial Arts" in later generations, the two novels are basically the same routine, but you can't say that martial arts is plagiarism and fighting, because these are two different stories.

And the book "The Martian" that Zhu Mingli wants to borrow, his original author may not have the idea of writing this novel at this time, and Zhu Mingli just wants to learn from this story routine!

In 2009, a space otaku named Andy Weir serialized his novel "The Martian" on his personal website for people to read for free, and later, at the request of readers, the novel was put on Amazon, downloaded and sold for $0.99, which was a great success.

In 2013, Random House in the United States sold the rights to the novel for six figures, and just four days later, Andy Weir received an olive branch from 20th Century Fox Films.

Three years later, in 2015, the movie "The Martian" starring Matt Damon was released, and the North American box office won four consecutive times, with a box office of nearly 600 million RMB in Chinese mainland, and a total global box office of nearly 600 million US dollars!

More than a year later, Zhu Mingli, who was still doing nothing in a certain Shanyi Health Center, downloaded and watched this movie on a pirated website, and later searched for the novel version of the movie and watched it again.

This is also the reason why Zhu Mingli chose to learn from this novel, he plans to copy the original author's routine, and he does not plan to modify the background of the novel, and after he writes the novel, in addition to submitting "Science Fiction World", he is also preparing to translate it into English and put it on Amazon Books for sale and download.

Zhu Mingli doesn't know if he can reach the same height as the original book, but what if it happens?! You still have to have dreams!

Many years have passed, and Zhu Mingli has long been unable to remember the plot of the movie and the content of the original version of the novel, so in a relative sense, Zhu Mingli's "The Martian" is not copying the original author's book at all, but using the framework of this story to write his own novel.

So even if the original author Andy Weir has already come up with the idea of writing "The Martian", when Zhu Mingli published the novel first, even if the author himself saw Zhu Mingli's version of The Martian, he couldn't be sure who copied whom!

It is based on such fearlessness that Zhu Mingli decided to write "The Martian"!

However, Zhu Mingli also knows that writing this novel will not be as simple as the previous novel "Wasteland", the writing of "Wasteland" is basically a routine of online novels, for Mingli, who has written online novels for several years, a 300,000-word novel is just equivalent to the beginning of an online novel, and it is very simple to write.

The Martian, on the other hand, is completely different. This is a hard science fiction novel.

A lot of expertise is involved in the creation process, including botany, soil science and chemistry involved in the protagonist's homemade oxygen on Mars, sewage recycling, and potato planting.

The original author of the novel is a space technology nerd who was hired by a large American company as a teenager, and it can be said that he writes these things easily.

This is not something that Zhu Mingli, a writer who purely relies on YY to write novels, can achieve, just the Mars rover launched by the Americans who are connected to the earth by the protagonist, Zhu Mingli doesn't even know his name, so he needs to collect detailed information step by step before writing.

In addition, Zhu Mingli has read the original novel, the original author portrayed the protagonist as a very happy and funny person, and there are a lot of funny and complaining content in the novel, probably only people with such a character can survive alone in desperate conditions like Mars.

Therefore, Zhu Mingli also needs to learn the joyful style of the original work.

But fortunately, Zhu Mingli is not in a hurry, the original novel will only start to be serialized on the Internet next year, so he still has four months to prepare and write.

Zhu Mingli knows very well that with his ability, as long as he finds all the information, it will take less than two weeks to write this novel!

As for collecting information, the Internet is so developed now, I am afraid that I can get a lot of useful information by posting on the forums of those science fiction lovers for help, and at least I can be regarded as people who have registered in the science fiction world magazine, let them help find some information, it should not be too much of a problem.

A new document was created in the folder on Mars, and a rough outline was listed, Zhu Mingli saw that the time displayed in the lower right corner of the screen had reached 21:19, so he saved the document, and then turned off the computer.

After taking a shower and memorizing Chinese texts and English words for 45 minutes according to the plan, Zhu Mingli has always been very confident in his memory, especially because of the thinking of adults after rebirth, or a little benefit of rebirth, he feels that his memory has been greatly improved.

During these two months, Zhu Mingli spent every night reading before going to bed, mainly to memorize the necessary texts in the language books, as well as English composition and word grammar.

Among them, there are many Chinese texts, Zhu Mingli can still memorize some even later, this summer vacation is a review of the old and new, so in two months, Zhu Mingli has basically recited the texts that need to be memorized in the first and second language books of junior high school, although it cannot reach the point of memorizing backwards, but it is still fresh in memory.

Then there are English words, Zhu Mingli recited 10 words every day, recited an English composition every two days, memorized 600 words alone, and basically memorized most of the words that need to be mastered in the first and second English books of junior high school, and recited 30 essays at the same time, Zhu Mingli now dares to speak, not only learning English for fools, he feels that his English listening, speaking, reading and writing have made great progress!

After a summer of hard work and preparation, Zhu Mingli finally led his life to a completely different path, and tomorrow, the new semester officially begins!

New semester, new life! Zhu Mingli was looking forward to it, drinking the croaking of frogs outside the window, and entered the dream ......
