Chapter 217: The Idea of "Detective Conan".
Baolong Film Company, after the gradual regularization.
In addition to owning the first computer CG special effects studio in Hong Kong and the second in the world.
In addition, it is also divided into different departments such as production department, marketing department, advertising and publicity department, screenwriting department, logistics management department, etc., showing the demeanor of a potential company.
Of course, at present, the main income of the entire Baolong Film Company is still from Zhang Shaojie's script and investment. Zhang Shaojie alone has made the entire company a well-respected production company in Hong Kong. It also makes Zhang Shaojie have unparalleled prestige in Baolong Film Company.
Gulongjianghu is righteous first, and he is not jealous of meritocracy, so Zhang Shaojie is especially at home in Baolong Film Company.
In the respect of everyone, Zhang Shaojie went straight to Gu Long's office behind the company.
Originally, Zhang Shaojie had a luxury office in the company with the sign of "deputy general manager". However, Zhang Shaojie does not use it often, which makes office resources seriously wasted.
In line with the principle of waste utilization and not wasting the company's resources, Zhang Shaojie's original separate luxury office has become a storage room, and many of the materials and equipment in some companies are placed in that office.
For the sake of convenience, Zhang Shaojie put a desk belonging to him in Gu Long's office. Every time he came to the company, he worked directly with Gu Long, which seemed to have a new and close relationship between the two.
Zhang Shaojie pushed open the door and walked in to take a look.
After Gu Long finished processing a pile of papers in his office, he was busy editing his work.
"Shaojie, you're here, how about taking a look at my new book manuscript?" Gu Long took out a stack of bound manuscript paper and handed it to Zhang Shaojie.
"Oh, Brother Gu Long, your new work?" Zhang Shaojie took a slight look and found that it was actually "Sword God Smile" in the "Legend of Lu Xiaofeng" series.
Although, Zhang Shaojie and others like works like "Huanhua Washing Sword Record" and "Peerless Double Pride" in the middle of Gulong. However, I also have great respect for Gu Long's later classics like "The Legend of Lu Xiaofeng".
In fact, "The Legend of Lu Xiaofeng" is a bit different from the traditional martial arts writing style. Rather, it is similar to the international "Chronicles of Narnia" and "Harry Potter", each book can be regarded as a separate and complete story. If you look at it from beginning to end, it tastes better.
To put it simply, the structure of the story of "The Legend of Lu Xiaofeng" is a bit like a later American drama. Released quarterly, each quarter is a unit of reading.
Unlike traditional long stories, the plot is kept coherent and complete from beginning to end.
In the decisive battle at the top of the Forbidden City in "Sword God Smile", Ximen Blowing Snow, who had defeated Ye Gucheng, was already the first "Sword God" in the world.
However, at the beginning, the sword god Ximen Fuxue abruptly invited Lu Xiaofeng to drink. Lu Xiaofeng knew that it was not so simple, most likely it was Ximen Blowing Snow who was in trouble and asked him to discuss. Sure enough, Ximen Blowing Snow confessed that his brother-in-law Liu Chengfeng had been missing for three months, and Ximen Blowing Snow followed the clues to find the Bashan Sword Sect, but found that the head of the Bashan Sword Sect was an impostor. Next, Lu Xiaofeng came to the Yellowstone town on the edge of the desert, and Liu Chengfeng, who he was looking for, had been plotted to death.
Lu Xiaofeng found that the inconspicuous Yellowstone town was actually Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. The degraded princess Gong Susu, Sha Dahu, and the suspicious Big Eye Inn.
Just as Lu Xiaofeng was about to uncover the mystery, a sword pierced into Lu Xiaofeng's abdomen. So, Zhonglu Xiaofeng in this episode actually died
The protagonist of the story was actually written to death, and most other authors didn't dare to try! Of course, in Gu Long's characters, the death of the characters is often suspense, not real death.
Zhang Shaojie is also because of this huge suspense, and he can't wait to watch it, hoping to uncover the mystery.
The latter part is described from the sight of Ximen Blowing Snow, in the West Gate Blowing Snow chapter, from the beginning of the text, it is not the same as describing Lu Xiaofeng, but the whole text is like a peerless swordsman, and the image of Ximen Blowing Snow jumps on the paper.
In fact, Zhang Shaojie feels that although the protagonist of "The Legend of Lu Xiaofeng" is Lu Xiaofeng. But whether it is Hua Manlou, Sikong picking stars, honest monks, and other characters are very plump.
And a peerless swordsman like Ximen Chuixue is sometimes more amazing than Lu Xiaofeng.
"It doesn't matter if Simon blows snow and has no sword in his palm, because his people have become one with his sword, and as long as his people are there, everything in heaven and earth is his sword." "Ximen Blowing Snow", the first sentence alone made Zhang Shaojie feel shocked.
An expert can show his writing skills in one sentence!
Such an artistic conception is already close to the Tao.
Zhang Shaojie knows why Jin Yong ranks first and Gu Long is second among martial arts masters. This is not about sales, nor about the writer's fame and status.
It's about the writer's strong personal style! Just one sentence produces an unparalleled artistic conception, which is the ultimate talent of Gu Long, and he can have this realm.
As the plot unfolded, Zhang Shaojie felt that he had been deceived - the ruthless Ximen Blowing Snow was pretended by Sikong Xingxing, and Lu Xiaofeng, who was killed before, was pretended to be an honest monk. The honest monk will take a turtle breath and lie in the coffin with fake death, making people think that Lu Xiaofeng is dead.
The real Lu Xiaofeng went to investigate the truth, and when the truth was revealed, Lu Xiaofeng, Sikong Xingxing, Ximen Fuxue, and the teacher monk easily killed these conspirators in Huangshi Town.
"Lu Xiaofeng is simply a detective Conan's general master of solving cases" Zhang Shaojie couldn't help but sigh after reading it.
Gu Longqi said: "Who is Conan?" ”
Detective Conan doesn't even know, it's too Martian, right? This sentence almost blurted out, but when the words came to his mouth, Zhang Shaojie swallowed it back.
Because. Zhang Shaojie quickly remembered that it was only 1981, and Gu Long naturally didn't know the future work "Detective Conan".
"Detective Conan" is a popular manga that has been serialized in the famous manga weekly "Shogakukan" since 1992, and it has been adapted into an anime since 1994.
This work was originally very slow. But in the later stage, it was amazingly attracting more and more "Conan fans" and being fascinated by it.
Of course, after more than ten years of serialization, popularity inevitably declined. However, until 2011, Conan's comic was able to bring a lot of comic manuscript fees to the comic author Aoyama Gomasa. and was used as a long-term meal ticket by the anime team of "Conan".
Even if the popularity decreases and the profit decreases, as long as there is something to earn. Outsourced to a comic and animation team in China, continue to produce. I can continue to make money.
Zhang Shaojie believes that if you want to wait until the finale of Conan, it is possible to consider the ending unless "Conan" finally loses money and it is not cost-effective to continue serializing.
"Hehe, nothing. This is an idea for a detective theme that I came up with not long ago, but I'm not good at detectives myself. If Brother Gu Long is interested, I can give you the idea and ask you to write this story. Zhang Shaojie said with a smile.
A writer's style, influenced by the works he read earlier. When Gu Long was young, in addition to reading the martial arts classics of Jin Yong and others, he also liked to read detectives.
Because he is deeply influenced by the detective style, Gu Long's martial arts works often have a bunch of detective plots such as logical reasoning and investigating the truth.
Hearing Zhang Shaojie talk about the detective's creativity, Gu Long was very interested and said, "Okay, let's hear it." If I could write your idea, I'd love to write a real detective! ”
Zhang Shaojie thought for a moment, and then simply refined the creativity of the story. Of course, Zhang Shaojie changed the location and characters of "Detective Conan" from the book to Hong Kong. Some of the original names have also been converted into Chinese names.
The beginning of the story, high school detective Gong Xinyi, known as the "savior of the Hong Kong police" and "Sherlock Holmes of the Heisei era".
However, when Gong Xinyi and his childhood sweetheart girlfriend Mao Xiaomiao were playing in the amusement park, they found a bunch of strange people in black. Because of curiosity, Gong Xinyi followed the strange man in black, was discovered by the man in black, and was caught.
The man in black wanted to kill people and kill his mouth, so he poured the poison of the martyr surname into Gong Xinyi's mouth. However, Gong Xinyi did not die, but his body actually returned to the state of a child in the development period.
In order to avoid being discovered by the man in black, he is still alive, affecting his family and friends. Gong Xinyi was incognito, under the pseudonym Jiang Conan, and stayed at Mao Xiaomiao's house, wanting to use the power of Mao Xiaomiao's father, Mao Bailang, a private detective, to continue to investigate the clues of the pair of men in black.
And the hairy white wolf is actually a confused detective, and there are often some tricky cases that cannot be completed, so every time it comes to this critical time, Jiang Conan uses some watch-type anesthetic guns invented by Dr. Asa to make the hairy white wolf fall asleep, and after that, Conan uses a bow tie transformer to imitate the voice of the hairy white wolf for case reasoning.
In this way, Conan has been handling many cases and making many friends in the name of the white wolf, but he has always wanted to find the men in black who turned him into a child, and seek a way to restore his former appearance
Conan's body as a child, but with the logical thinking of a top detective. In addition, Conan knows a strange Dr. Asasa.
This Dr. Asasa is like a robot cat, inventing a bunch of props, watch-type tranquilizer guns, prisoner tracking glasses, lunch-type fax machines, bow voice changers, button-type megaphones, and foot-strengthening shoes
The dazzling array of props is just like the golden fingers of the protagonists in the later fantasy network. When it comes to the critical time, the problems that Conan can't solve can be used to cheat and reverse the situation with the anti-heaven gold finger props!
After Zhang Shaojie explained the idea.
Gu Long was taken aback and said, "This is too creative! And, I think, it's perfect for adapting manga and anime! ”
Zhang Shaojie nodded and said, "Indeed, this idea, if you get it." If it is adapted into a manga, it may not be able to reach the level of "Doraemon", but it will definitely be able to become a first-class manga and anime work. Moreover, this theme is quite close to the tastes of readers and audiences in the comic market, and there is no obstacle to entering the light and animation market! ”
Gu Long was puzzled and said, "Such a good idea, why don't you write it yourself?" ”
