Chapter 62: You don't have to please the reader
Soon, the movie "The Death of Yue Fei" began to be filmed, and the investment reached 30 million, just because there were a lot of special effects used in it, which cost more money.
But in the middle, the budget is a little worth it, and it gradually exceeds 50 million.
By the end of the day, the cost of filming the film had reached 1.5 billion.
This does not include the cost of actors, if you include the cost of actors, the number is even more amazing.
The final expenditure was about, 350 million, and the final box office income was only 100 million, and the box office revenue failed miserably, with serious losses, making it the most failed movie.
Since Zhang Xinyu's debut, she has always been known for her low cost and high box office, but this movie was a big failure, a miserable loss, a sad loss, and an unspeakable loss. This is the first and only loss-making movie in her life.
And that's for later!
…………
The rhythm of life is back on track again.
On the novel website, the new book was uploaded, and the new book chose "The Condor Heroes".
This novel can be said to be an extremely unconventional novel.
In general novels, the heroine is often of high status and is destined to be reserved for the protagonist; But this novel is the heroine, it can be said that this book is the darkest, which seriously violates the principle of Shuangwen, and even abuses each reader to the extreme;
And the protagonist of the novel was cut off his arm and became disabled, seeing this scene, many readers were sad and wept.
And in the process of getting along with the two, there have been several ups and downs, and there have been twists and turns.
For other supporting actresses, falling in love with Yang Guo may be the fault of a lifetime.
In this book, there are too many tragedies and too many misfortunes in life.
It is a confirmation of that sentence, life in the world, unsatisfactory things, ten **.
It seems that there are too many misfortunes, and I want to ease it, so there is the resurrection of the little dragon girl behind.
This one may be Jin Dada's most successful novel.
In Kim Dae's novels, long novels are better than short stories, and later novels are better than early ones.
But there are only a few of the best: "Flying Fox Gaiden", "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", "Dragon Babu", "Smiling Proud Jianghu" and "The Legend of Deer and Ding".
"Flying Fox Gaiden" is mainly realistic, many of the martial arts and many fighting styles exist in reality, and the rivers and lakes described in it are the real rivers and lakes. In the later novels, the rivers and lakes depicted are, to a large extent, allegorical and significant, but not real rivers and lakes.
"Dragon Babu" is a novel with three protagonists, according to the current pace of writing, it is easy to write with two protagonists, and the writing of three protagonists is almost the rhythm of looking for death. And at the end of writing, the protagonist is even dead, which is simply the rhythm of looking for death. But in the end, it was the writing that succeeded, and I have to say that the author's pen power is excellent.
"Smiling Proud Jianghu", there is no vendetta in the rivers and lakes, no revenge for grievances, no righteousness for the heavens, and no chivalrous man for the country and the people, some are just competing for interests, the intrigues of various upper-level characters, and calculating each other. It is a very alternative martial arts novel, written as a martial arts novel, and it is said to be political humanity.
"The Legend of Deer and Ding" is a straightforward political novel, or simply a historical novel. In the novel, there are struggles in the rivers and lakes, and there are heroes, but it is just a court battle, and various factions compete for the appendages of the country. And in the novel, the force of the individual and the power of the sect are not worth mentioning.
Shenlong Island is powerful, but under the encirclement and suppression of a battalion of the Qing army and thousands of troops and horses, it is still in an uproar and collapses.
The sect leader of Shenlong Island, Chen Jinnan, etc., can be regarded as first-class masters, but the five hundred Qing soldiers surrounded and killed, it is still a dead material.
This is an anti-martial arts novel, and a point of view is pointed out in the book, martial arts are not important, no matter how powerful martial arts are, they can't be ten thousand enemies, and it's difficult to even have a thousand enemies, and it's luck to be able to do a hundred enemies; may be surrounded by hundreds of soldiers, that is, to completely kill some martial arts masters, and chop these martial arts masters into meat paste;
And those top martial arts masters may not be able to stand a musket.
And "The Condor Heroes" does not have the realistic meaning of "Snow Mountain Flying Fox", nor does it have the heroic spirit of "Dragon Babu", the feelings of serving the country and the people, and there is no free and easy like "Smiling Proud Jianghu", nor does it have the political satire of "The Legend of Deer and Ding", some are just the love of life, and life is unsatisfactory.
Of course, if it's too true, it's too real, and many readers won't like it.
What if you just don't like it?
Now, he has passed the insecure period of early writers, and he has also passed the unstable period of popular writers, and he is a well-known writer, and he can have a personality and temper.
Readers can watch it if they like it, and get out of it if they don't like it.
Anyway, there are not many readers for you, and there are many for less.
And he gradually understood Jin Dada's domineering!
The average author, if he writes about Xiaolongnu** and Qiao Feng's suicide, he may be worried that readers will be dissatisfied, his popularity will pass, and his writing income will decline; But Jin Dada doesn't care, the loss of readers will be lost, anyway, what should come will come, what should go will still go, it will rain, the mother will get married, let him go!
And Jin Dada is the owner of the company, he is the CEO, and the manuscript fee can increase his income, but it is not the main channel to make a living, even if he does not write a book and does not have a manuscript fee, he still lives a nourishing life.
There is no psychological burden on writing, and there is no financial burden, so I am not afraid of losing readers, and I can write as much as I want.
And many writers have to think about the readers, they must please the readers, and most of them rely on the manuscript fee to maintain their survival, just like Mr. Gu Long, so in writing, they can't be free, often for the sake of the readers, and don't dare to write something......
"And now, I'm the CEO of a website, and I can live a middle-class life with the company's shares; has more than 10 million assets, and it can be regarded as entering the wealthy class. All of this has led me to write as I please, without having to please the reader! ”
Li Qing thought proudly.
Moreover, he has a fiancée, and his fiancée is a big capitalist, a big trust magnate.
This fiancée, who has always had a lot of money and nowhere to spend, has always wanted to use money to smash some people who make her unhappy.
All of this led to the fact that he did not have to please his readers and was free to write.
Thinking of these, Li Qing began to quickly code words on the computer, and decided that it was this novel, this novel.
Go your own way and let the readers see!
Love to see, don't like to see leave, no one forces you!
I write novels, I'm willful!
