The morning light in May is bright and dazzling.

Early in the morning, Zhang Shaojie woke up, and Madonna had already made a very smooth breakfast.

In front of the public, Madonna is a witch who wears strange clothes and takes countless little girls. But in front of Zhang Shaojie, she is a gentle and considerate virtuous lover.

"I'm going back to Hong Kong!" Zhang Shaojie was dressed neatly, drank coffee, tasted the bread made by Madonna herself, and said.

"Yes, I know." She was reluctant to give up.

"You also have to take care of yourself, though, it's important to be successful in music. But if you indulge in fame and fortune and forget about other more meaningful life goals, it will not be worth the loss. Zhang Shaojie said.

Madonna smiled, "Actually, I once dreamed of being a writer." However, what I wrote, no publisher wants to publish. ”

In the field of writing, there are undoubtedly fewer unspoken rules than in the entertainment industry. Although some famous writers ask someone to write for it, or some literati are contemptuous and so on. But compared to the entertainment industry, it's really brighter.

There are a large number of drama bullies and big names in the entertainment industry, who can coerce and lure artists who are not as powerful as themselves. In the writing industry, due to the tacit understanding since ancient times, one publishing house can't get along, and there are other publishing houses that can contribute. You must know that in large countries like China and the United States, the number of publishing houses is often in the thousands, and because there is no oligopoly pattern in the film and television industry, there is no concept of "blocking" at all.

"Oh, can you show me?" Zhang Shaojie said casually.

Madonna was naturally very happy, and handed over some recently written manuscripts to Zhang Shaojie.

Zhang Shaojie watched it slightly, it was actually a very childlike story, which was diametrically opposed to Madonna's image in the music world.

Zhang Shaojie praised it sincerely and said: "Such a childlike writing is very suitable for fairy tales." It's just that your subject matter isn't very accurate."

"Then you can teach me!" Madonna genuinely asks for advice.

Zhang Shaojie groaned and drew up a story outline for her.

It mainly tells the story of a girl who likes to sing, Mai, who runs away from home in order to pursue her dreams. Wheat meets a magician who sings well, and is taken to a magical world by the magician. Wheat finally learned that the magical talent was also a musical talent. In order to maintain world peace and prevent the destruction of the terrifying Great Demon King, the wizarding world will go to the mortal world every year to attract some teenagers and girls with musical talents to join the magic academy and learn magic. Wheat becomes a magical girl, goes to school, makes friends, and has adventures in the magic academy.

About magic, in Europe hundreds of years ago, was born. The idea of the Magic Campus originated from "Harry Potter".

The story designed by Zhang Shaojie is similar to "Harry Potter", but the setting is very different. Instead, a large number of elements related to the music profession are added. After all, Madonna is a singer by profession and is an expert in music. Integrating the concept of music into the magic campus can better play Madonna's professional strengths.

"Great, how did you come up with such a wonderful story?" Madonna was captivated by the synopsis.

Zhang Shaojie said with a smile: "A successful writer is always a designer. Although the story written by himself, is limited. However, there is no limit to the number of stories that can be designed. For many writers, creativity and innovation are just small skills of carving insects, but what tests people more is the ability to write stories well! ”

Although Zhang Shaojie said that creativity is a small skill of carving insects, only he can be so conceited. After all, he has tens of thousands of ideas at his disposal for the next 20 years, and these ideas, in random combinations, have become fashionable elements. However, in the 80s, contemporary writers were not able to find creativity, and only with a flash of inspiration could they get better ideas.

Creativity, just like the development of science and technology, is constantly standing on the shoulders of predecessors in continuous improvement and development.

More than 200 years ago, the European publishing industry was extremely developed, and some masters summarized and summarized all kinds of existing tens of thousands of books, believing that all the passages had been written, and there would be no new content in the future.

This kind of conceit is actually very narrow-minded.

With the development of human society, the subject matter will also be unimaginable to the predecessors. For example, can the predecessors of the past imagine such a thing as "online games"? It is a novel theme derived from the development of science and the emergence of video games and the Internet.

Zhang Shaojie has experienced the explosion of entertainment resources brought by the Internet in the next 20 years, and the most worthless thing in that era is creativity.

Casually follow the number of some creative paths, put it in the 80s for most of the shocking world.

And the development of the next 30 years is more and more inclined to entertainment, so the creativity of that era is more able to cater to the reading needs of readers by the creativity of the 80s.

And in the 80s, the surname and the ideological surname were higher than the interesting surname. Mainstream writers have created a bunch of books that look elegant, but are actually very difficult.

And since the 90s, it has become more and more close to entertainment.

Like "Harry Potter" is good? Actually, it's not very good, but at that time, the trend of business supremacy was just emerging.

In the midst of a bunch of high-level boredom, a book that is more accessible and close to the reading tastes of children's readers suddenly appeared, which naturally made many children and teenagers like a treasure.

Later, "Harry Potter" sold well for more than ten years, and it was a problem of "habitual reading".

What is Habitual Reading? It's - after reading the first book, even if the plot in the back can be seen or not, the vast majority of readers are still used to continuing to watch the later plots.

Another example is a 40-episode TV series, and the audience spent a week watching 7 episodes. Even if the later plot is no longer as attractive as it was at the beginning, most viewers will still choose to watch the next 33 episodes of the TV series.

There is an even more terrible habitual surname, that is, "Detective Conan", viewers who watched 100 episodes of "Conan", after entering the pit, 200 episodes, 300 episodes, 500 episodes, 1000 episodes, some people have chased after marrying a wife and having children when they were elementary school students, and "Detective Conan" has not yet ended.

"What kind of title should I use?" Madonna asked.

No matter what others think, the title of a book is important to a book's surname, to a surprising degree.

A very ordinary book, if it has a good name, may become a bestseller that shocks the world.

A very good book, with an unattractive title, will naturally sell mediocre.

It's hard to tell what makes a good title.

Zhang Shaojie thought: "How about "Magical Girl Wheat"? ”

In fact, this is completely different from the later "Madoka Magical Girl", and it is not as creative as "Madoka Magical Girl", but if it is placed in the 80s, it is enough to become a god-level creativity.

In fact, it's just like the special effects blockbusters of various eras. "The Matrix" could be a blockbuster in the 90s, but if the audience watched it in 2011, they couldn't help but feel that the level of special effects was too low, and the fights were relatively naïve and ridiculous, not as beautiful as imagined.

"The Painted Wall" and "The Legend of the White Snake" were unfortunately released in 2011, so they did not look excellent against the backdrop of many Hollywood blockbusters. But these two movies, if they are placed around 05 and 06, are enough to compete with any Hollywood special effects blockbuster.

Entering the commercial era, movies, TV series, games and other industries, the development is very fast. This kind of development and progress is, of course, the progress of the business surname. The progress of the business surname, that is, the direction of innovation, is to get closer and closer to the taste of readers!

This also causes readers in the 21st century to look at the works of ten years ago often feel that the level of creativity is too low and the bridge is ridiculous.

Zhang Shaojie has seen a lot of futures, and giving Madonna's "Magical Girl Wheat" is tantamount to bullying the writers of the 80s with the elements of future commercial progress.

"Sounds good!" Madonna rewarded Zhang Shaojie with a fragrant kiss.

Regarding "Magical Girl Wheat", Zhang Shaojie's idea for Madonna, she will spend about a year brewing and writing. After that, it is planned to be written in 150,000 words.

Of course, after she finishes it, Zhang Shaojie will also volunteer to help her revise and polish.

And when the time comes, it is estimated that Madonna's fame in the record industry will be even louder. A well-known singer, publishing, is born with the advantage of popularity. Unless it's too bad, it's not difficult for Madonna to become a writer part-time.

————————————May 20, 1983.

Zhang Shaojie took first with Steven. The crew of Spielberg's "Jurassic Park" first went to Hawaii. After that, the crowd chose Kauai as the filming set.

Kauai is Hawaii's fourth-largest island, with an area of 1,400 square kilometers and a population of just 50,000 people. The whole island is sparsely populated, and it is mainly operated by some large farms. But most of the area is primitive and barren.

"It's a natural park!" Zhang Shaojie said.

"And it's cheap!" Steven. Spielberg said.

Jurassic Park has a budget of $120 million.

On Kauai, $8 million was spent on a 15-square-square-meter stretch of sandy beaches, farms, woods and hillsides. Here, the crew is ready to shoot some exterior shots.

Zhang Shaojie suggested that in the future, when movies become popular, a theme park can be built here to attract tourists to travel here.

Steven. Spielberg also appreciated this suggestion, but at this stage, the focus is still on filmmaking. As for the construction of a Jurassic theme park in the future, it will only be possible until the movie becomes popular.

In Hong Kong, Powerlong Film Company sent more than 20 special effects technicians to the crew. After Spielberg's confluence.

Zhang Shaojie took a plane in Hawaii and returned to Hong Kong
