Chapter 10 Be the originator of the mountain
As the first prize winner of the Qingwen Award, the author of "Give Me a Girl at Eighteen" and Zhang Xiaoye have received a lot of attention, not to mention that the book has been very popular with young people after it was launched.
Unconsciously, with the continuous increase in sales, the repercussions brought by "Give Me a Girl at Eighteen" have even formed a social phenomenon.
Students in almost all schools in Hong Kong read this book, even St. Stephen's Secondary School, where Zhang Xiaoye attended, and from time to time students could be heard talking about the book.
However, the students did not associate the author's signature on the cover with Zhang Xiaoye, and subconsciously thought that it was just the same name and surname.
There has been a craze, which has led to more attention from all walks of life about the book, and newspapers can be seen almost every day about the book and why it has led to such a response.
People who like this book say that they can empathize, and when they see the male protagonist in the book, they seem to see themselves. Critics said that the book's description of youth restlessness is profound and practical.
And those who don't like it bluntly say that the meat is too heavy, even narcissistic and hypocritical, and will only play lip service.
In the newspapers, many influential critics and cultural figures disagree with each other, and in reality, those who like and those who don't like are often in a battle for each other.
Zhou Huimin suddenly developed the habit of buying and reading newspapers every day, and smiled when he saw someone exaggerating Xiaoye and his books, and was indignant when he saw someone saying something bad.
In fact, it is not wrong to say that Zhang Xiaoye's book smells too fishy, it is a work full of male hormones, and it completely highlights the restlessness of adolescent boys about sex.
Because it's focused on this aspect, it seems to be magnified, but even then, it doesn't have anything to do with erotic/erotic books at all.
There are probably boys who will read this book as a little yellow book, after all, it is such a stage, and the body has just woken up, and it is easy to be restless, and there is no comparison with the well-informed old driver.
Seeing Zhou Huimin's pout, Zhang Xiaoye could only come out There must be a bad evaluation in today's newspaper, so he touched her head and said, "Okay, what are you angry with these." ”
"I'm not happy for you, but you can see it yourself. Zhang Xiaoye was so calm that Zhou Huimin had a lot of opinions.
Zhang Xiaoye smiled dumbly and said: "There is no art form in this world, any work can be liked by everyone, and there are those who like it and those who don't like it, which is normal." ”
He put away Zhou Huimin's newspaper, and then continued: "The more attention you have, the more controversial it is, and so many people commenting on my work just proves that I am really popular, as long as I like more than I don't like, and praise more than criticize." ”
Before he finished speaking, the teacher had already walked into the classroom, and Zhou Huimin had no choice but to hold back what he wanted to say back to his stomach.
This is an English class, in his previous life, he was still very good at language, and he didn't need a high school level course at all, and he couldn't put his own mind in class.
Now that the first step has been taken steadily, then it is time to take the second step, Zhang Xiaoye holds the back of his head with both hands, and holds a pen in his mouth, which looks a bit hanging.
The Qingwen Award has been won as he wished, and now he seems to be a cutting-edge young writer, and he is ready to copy a work that can make more money.
Now that you have a certain amount of fame, it's time to think about how to make money.
At present, although Jin Yong has closed his pen in Xiangjiang, the popularity of martial arts novels has not diminished, and many martial arts novels can still be seen in the newspapers, but the visibility is not high.
In fact, martial arts novels also have a lot of similarities with later generations of online novels, which were not very popular with orthodox literature at first, but they were deeply loved by the general public, and then slowly recognized.
And the entry threshold is relatively low, as long as you can type and surf the Internet, you can write online novels in later generations, so the quality of the works is uneven, and the same is true for martial arts novels.
After all, there are only a few who can become classics, martial arts novels have Taishan Beidou like Jin Yong Gulong, and online novels have also emerged a lot of powerful and classic works.
But if you want to copy, you still have to weigh and weigh the specifics, if a work wants to succeed, the right time and place are the same, in fact, it can't be less, it's too backward, it's not good, it's too advanced, it's not good.
The most significant example is that "Journey to the West" hit the streets at the box office when it was released, and it was miserable, and later spread to the mainland among college students, and with the rise of the Internet, it really shined and was regarded as a generation of classics.
To copy a novel, you should also consider whether the people of this era can accept it, even if there is no problem with the degree of acceptance, you must also consider whether it can maximize your own interests.
Zhang Xiaoye still needs to further improve his influence, even if he chooses to write novels, it is far from enough to rely on the novels themselves.
The influence of novels is far less than that of film and television works, and Mr. Jin Yong's ability to reach such heights is not only by publishing and distributing those works, but more importantly, these works have been remade into TV series again and again.
Not everyone reads novels, but everyone watches TV, and film and television dramas can achieve better publicity and promotion effects, making works more deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, so as to gain higher influence.
So before deciding to copy that book, you first have to consider whether it is suitable for adaptation into a TV series.
Those classic Xianxia fantasy novels in later generations are forgotten for the time being, and it is almost impossible to shoot them with current technology, and if it is too simple, it is better not to shoot it.
Anyway, it's a long life, so you can copy it slowly, and you're not in a hurry at this time.
Thinking of this, Zhang Xiaoye decisively wrote the three words "Xun Qin Ji" on the manuscript paper, this book was originally published in 94, and there is no question of whether the people can accept it more than ten years in advance.
Because in essence, this is actually a martial arts novel, but there is an element of crossing history, which is groundbreaking, Zhang Xiaoye can be a pioneer if he copies this book, and later generations can travel through novels everywhere.
And the book itself has also been adapted into a TV series by TVB, even with the current technology, it can be made very well, which fully meets his requirements.
It's just that I've read too many online novels in later generations, and when I look back at this book, I will feel too depressing, and in the words of later generations, there are too many depressing plots.
There is also the fact that this book is very yellow, and there are many plots in H, so it can really be read as a little yellow book.
Therefore, simply change it according to your own ideas, there is no need to copy it as it is, as long as the big framework is still there, and the essence is not discarded, success is no problem.
"What are you thinking?" Zhou Huimin in front shook the chair and gently touched Zhang Xiaoye's desk with the back of the chair.
Zhang Xiaoye said in a low voice: "Amin, if you could travel back in time to ancient times, what would you do?"
Without the edification of countless online novels, Zhou Huimin's brain hole is obviously not big enough, this question directly caused her to be stunned for a moment, and then tilted her head and said while thinking: "If I can go to ancient times, I want to see those famous painters in history with my own eyes, and if I can see Li Bai write poems with my own eyes, it would be good." ”
In addition to the piano, Zhou Huimin usually likes to paint, and the idea of traveling through time and space is still so simple, unlike those girls in later generations, who will harm Yongzheng at every turn.
After thinking about it, it seemed that he couldn't think of anything else, so Zhou Huimin said, "What are you doing for this suddenly?"
"Because I'm going to write a new book, I'm going to tell a story that travels through history. ”
"Write it out and show it to me. After Zhou Huimin said this, he concentrated on class, and since he said that he wanted to write a new book, he would not bother him.
Whether it's a novel or a movie, the scale of Xiangjiang is much larger than that of the mainland, but H's feeling is better not to touch, after all, it's only sixteen years old, YY can be a little bit, and it's not appropriate if it's too explicit.
I'm still underage.,Just write H novels.,It's okay.,This will affect the image.。
Go through the plot of "Xun Qin" in your mind, if you change it according to his ideas, after those depressing plots are rectified, this book will take the style of later online novels, and become a story of the male protagonist traveling back to build a career and open a harem.
Traveled to the Qin Dynasty, learned profound martial arts, although he went through hardships but finally gambled to save the day, not only helped Yingzheng unify the six countries to win the world, but also captured the hearts of a number of beauties, this should be no problem, right?
The emphasis of later generations of online novels is "cool", and people in this era will definitely be able to get it, no matter how you try it.
Zhang Xiaoye didn't delay, he started writing immediately, and when he got out of school, a pile of manuscripts had been placed in front of Zhou Huimin, Zhou Huimin looked at the dense words on it and couldn't help but say, "So fast?"
Zhang Xiaoye said: "This time the article will be very long, but it is not directly published, I plan to submit it to the newspaper for serialization, so I don't need to write it in one go, just feed the newspaper at a fixed time." ”
"Oh. Zhou Huimin nodded and said, "Then I'll take a look first, and I'll send the manuscript with you after school in the afternoon." Where are you going to vote, Ming Pao or Oriental Daily?"
There are many Xiangjiang newspapers, catering to the taste of the public, and the proportion of social news and entertainment news is even greater, and those who like to hype are "Oriental Daily", "New Newspaper" and so on.
Seriously, the elitist ones are "Ming Pao", "Sing Tao Daily" and so on.
In addition, there are "Ta Kung Pao" and "Wen Wei Po" with a red background......
Most of these newspapers have serialized novels, and there is a lot of choice, but of course the higher the circulation, the better.
Then we have to consider the issue of remuneration, but if you want to choose "Ming Pao", don't have any extravagant expectations.
