Chapter 165: Diligence and Effort

In order to avoid being squeezed out of cash deposits by the industrial light and magic special effects team, Zhang Shaojie began to become very diligent, and he was silently retreating and writing!

Of course, the current Zhang Shaojie will not be like at the beginning of his rebirth, copying "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty" word for word to get the first pot of gold.

Instead, he began to write in the same way as a fan.

The plot, setting, and creativity of the future novel are rewritten through their own words and language.

The specific method is - the first step is to read through the full text of the future work and summarize the main plot outline, characters, and settings.

The second step is to summarize the plot of each chapter and condense the plot of the chapter into a small outline.

After that, with their own understanding and thinking of the original text, they will practice using their own language to recreate according to the outline, outline, setting, and characters.

In this way, novices who practice calligraphy are initially "tracing" and "writing" according to the calligraphy of famous masters, and after writing many times, after mastering certain techniques, they begin to "memorize" based on impressions.

After reaching a certain level of calligraphy, I began to create calligraphy by myself without calligraphy.

Zhang Shaojie summarized the plot outline, chapter outline, characters, novel setting, etc. of a successful novel, which is equivalent to "writing on the spot", and re-creating it based on impression is like "backing".

Through this imitation technique, the writing skills, characters, and plot arrangements of famous artists are gradually digested, absorbed, and comprehended. In the end, the goal of improving Zhang Shaojie's own novel writing ability was achieved.

I have consciously practiced the pen more times.

Zhang Shaojie's planning and layout of the novel have also made rapid progress.

Of course, although Zhang Shaojie also wants to improve his writing, it is not as easy as the description of the characters' surnames and the layout of the story.

Writing, this thing is like the internal strength of the Huashan faction qi sect master in Jin Yong's "Smiling Proud Jianghu", which can only develop over time and gradually improve its accumulation, and cannot be achieved quickly! Once the internal strength is completed, it is natural that every grass and tree can be used as a blade, and any ordinary trick can become a trick that cannot be resisted.

Because the writing can't be done quickly, Zhang Shaojie has no choice but to go off the rails and win by means of creativity, storytelling, character building, etc. Finding a partial kung fu is equivalent to mastering the "Dugu Nine Swords", even if the writing is very mediocre, you can rely on the plot and characters to win.

Of course, the pursuit of novel themes and techniques does not mean that Zhang Shaojie's writing is not improving. In fact, as the number of words created by Zhang Shaojie continues to grow. The writing is also slowly improving, but this improvement will not be visible until at least a few years later.

"Resident Evil 1" has a total of 150,000 words, and Zhang Shaojie created it in the same way and took a month.

And now Zhang Shaojie is writing "Resident Evil 2".

The novel version of "Biohazard 2" is different from the game version and the movie version, and it can be regarded as a side plot in the game setting system. In the end, it does not affect the development of the game's official main story.

"Resident Evil 2: Cavern of Nightmares", mainly written about S.T.A.R.S team survivors, after returning to the police station, is ready to expose the conspiracy of the umbrella company. However, the power of the umbrella company has long infiltrated all levels of Raccoon City, and even the officials of the police station are also their people. The Police Department has decided to dismiss the officers of the S.T.A.R.S squad.

Although the S.T.A.R.S team headquarters in Raccoon City were fired, the S.T.A.R.S team has a branch in Maine and is not under the control of the Raccoon City headquarters. A member of the branch, David. Trapp invites Dr. Rebecca from the headquarters to go to Maine to investigate a secret biochemical research base of the Umbrella Corporation. After that, collect evidence and publish it to the world, avenge the sacrifice of his teammates, and at the same time make the world aware of the evil of the Umbrella Corporation.

Rebecca, David. Trapp's thrilling journey, in this episode, is fully displayed

Although "Cave of Nightmares" is a side plot that does not appear in the game's plot. Zhang Shaojie believes that this episode is also very exciting and necessary. Because of this episode, the rendering shaped the image of Rebecca!

Zhang Shaojie believes that the success of the "Resident Evil" series is in addition to the plot hunting and thrilling. What's more important is that some of the protagonists with a surname and high popularity, especially the charismatic beauties in it, are not inferior to men in the fight against zombies, so that most of the beauties here have a bunch of hardcore fans.

On the contrary, the male characters in "Resident Evil" are in danger of becoming tricks.

"Resident Evil" looks like a zombie and suspense drama on the surface, but in fact, Zhang Shaojie thinks that this is an idol drama with a curiosity.

Whether it is a new game or a movie of "Biochemical", many fans do not pay attention to the plot of this episode, but to the popular beautiful characters that will appear in this episode - Alice, Jill, Rebecca, Ada. King. In each episode, those classic female characters do not appear, or there are too few scenes, which will lead to doubts and complaints from a group of fans.

Of course, the T-virus, the G-virus, and various biochemical settings about zombie viruses will be unsurpassed classic settings for the next thirty years.

The status of "Resident Evil" in zombie-themed movies and games is almost the same as that of "Star Wars" movies in sci-fi themes!

"Hmph, it's never been imitated, but no one can surpass it - that's what I want!" Zhang Shaojie smiled evilly.

After the publication of the "Resident Evil" series of novels, the copyright was registered internationally and protected by the copyright laws of various countries.

Whether it's a game from "CA Games" or a movie from "Sony Entertainment", it is impossible to bypass its own setting in the future.

Umbrella Company, T Virus, Raccoon City, S.T.A.R.S Squad, and a character setting comparable to a star, hahahaha, any one of them is taken out, it is an incredible setting.

superimposed together, the detailed setting formed made it impossible for later imitators to bypass Zhang Shaojie's copyright!

"I'm so smart! The copyright of the popular classic character is king, this thing is as valuable as the patent of high-tech enterprises, and even in the future, it can form a huge vitality of games, film and television adaptations! Zhang Shaojie was proud.

The so-called, the one who copied the great, for the country and the people!

I plagiarized the creative settings of future games and Hollywood movies, and these things have been absorbed and digested by Zhang Shaojie, which is China's cultural copyright.

In the future, it is necessary to make the enemies in the cultural field, the creativity and products of the strategic surname less and less.

At that time, there will be more and more creative ideas available in Chinese novels, games, film and television industries, and with the Chinese market having a large number of good-looking novels, good-looking movies, and interesting games, it is difficult for Chinese culture to have low influence in the world at that time!

―――――――――― September 17th, exactly a week later.

The inaugural issue of "Chinese Heroes" actually sold 580,000 copies in a week, and this good news of sales made the entire world publishing company feel a confident momentum.

Of course. Hong Kong Man has such a large market, supporting the market size of 100 million Hong Kong dollars by the end of this year. Compared with the current scale of Hong Kong's real estate of 10 billion, it can only be regarded as scum!

After all, even if there are actually only 300,000 hardcore comic readers in Hong Kong, how these readers spend is only a small number. This is a market size formed by the average annual consumption of 300,000 comic book readers by 300,000 comics readers.

If it's for a young person who already has a job, maybe it's stress-free. However, many of the comic readers are students, and 300 Hong Kong dollars a year means that students from ordinary families may have all their pocket money used to buy comics!

"Therefore, the Hong Kong market can only be used as a basic market, and a base for the production and production of comics! Through Hong Kong's market data, discover some highly popular and competitive comics, find ways to enter the Chinese mainland market, and enter the market with higher consumption power for the entertainment and cultural industry such as Yoben, Europe and the United States! Zhang Shaojie smiled - "You know! ”

Ma Rongcheng nodded and said, "When you were in Yulang International before, you also mentioned this strategy with Huang Yulang, and it seems that he is also doing it!" ”

"Yulang is Yulang, and the world is the world! The domestic and overseas markets are so huge, not like a small pond like Hong Kong! Zhang Shaojie said with a smile.

Ma Rongcheng thought for a moment and said: "I think that if you enter overseas, you have to slow down for the time being!" The top priority is to consolidate the Hong Kong market while entering the Chinese-speaking markets such as Chinese mainland, Taiwan, Singapore and so on! The Chinese-speaking cultural circle is not only a sales market for our products, but also a cheap painting talent for us! ”

Zhang Shaojie frowned: "The mainland is quite culturally conservative!" ”

Ma Rongcheng said with a smile: "In developed coastal areas, especially special economic zones, exceptions! ”

Zhang Shaojie was stunned and said, "Really? ”

Ma Rongcheng explained: "In Guangzhou, the leaders invited me to set up a comic branch in Guangzhou, although I can't sell comics nationwide, but in the Pearl River Delta, where the atmosphere is relatively open and the reform is relatively deep, it can be sold!" Moreover, the labor in the mainland is really cheap! With a monthly salary of 100 RMB, you can hire a painter, and if you convert it into Hong Kong dollars, it is only 300 Hong Kong dollars a month. The painters in our Hong Kong headquarters have a basic monthly salary of 1000! At least the labor cost is only 30% of that of Hong Kong! I think that in the future, we can outsource some of the less important illustration process of comics to branches in the mainland to reduce costs and expand production capacity."

Zhang Shaojie looked at Ma Rongcheng and thought to himself, Ma Rongcheng is worthy of being a character who can be compared with Huang Yulang later.

It's so thoughtful, and so creative!

That's what Ben's animation company did!

In the 80s, he actually tried to outsource some low-tech comic drawing tasks to South Korea, Taiwan and other places where the cost of manpower was lower than that of Yuben. After China's accession to the WTO at the beginning of the 21st century, animation companies began to hand over OEM tasks to animation companies in Chinese mainland. Because Chinese mainland has a large number of art and animation talents, handed over to Chinese mainland enterprises OEM, it is even cheaper, better quality, quality and quantity.

Of course, the projects outsourced to China by the animation enterprises are often some projects with relatively low technical content, and the steps that really need to use the core technology are still completed by domestic talents in the early and post-processing.
