Chapter 279: Adaptation of the web novel
Ning Hao and Su Zhiwei know Du Jiayi very well, he is a person who pursues the ultimate, and he will definitely not agree. If the film does not meet the requirements, a huge amount of money will be spent if you don't agree.
If a sci-fi production that pioneered the era fails, it will not only be the failure of the director, actors, and company, but also the failure of the entire domestic film industry. Many companies that want to shoot blockbusters will slow down their plans until the domestic market grows to an idealized point before blockbusters appear.
Previously, Liang Tong's "Bamboo Sea Wasteland" was cold at home and abroad, and the investment was not recovered, and the domestic projects were basically small investments, and there were basically no films of more than 50 million. Especially after the success of the low-budget youth film "Those Years", many investors plan to continue to promote this nostalgic genre film.
Du Jiayi can still afford to lose money, but the impact on the domestic film industry has to be considered.
Su Zhiwei and Ning Hao were very entangled in their faces.
"It's not as much as you think, didn't Ning Hao say it too. It's easy to pull the egg when the step is bigger, and there are definitely not so many special effects to test the water. Du Jiayi said with a smile.
Du Jiayi pushed the laptop in front of the two people, and on the top of the screen was a novel. To be precise, it's a web novel website, and the web page shows a science fiction web novel.
"This is a novel I read recently, and it shouldn't have a lot of scenes, but it is powerful in the science fiction thinking and the structure of the whole story. Ning Hao, haven't you ever written a script, how about the value? ”
The length of the story is not large, and in the field of online novels with millions of words, the number of words in this novel called "Multidimensional Space" is only more than 300,000, and it has not yet reached the end.
In the science fiction category of the entire website, this novel, which is only more than 200,000 yuan, is still hovering at the end of the new book list, and sometimes it will fall off the list. The number of collections is quite large, between 3000-5000, which can be regarded as very potential.
There are many reviews in the book review section, some think that the writer is deliberately piecing together the word count, and some think that the whole story is very well conceived.
"There are a lot of memories in the novel, those can be skipped, and we also need a general idea and story structure, and the movie script definitely can't be written like this." Du Jiayi said.
The story is probably about a parallel time and space, avoiding some topics that are prone to problems. The protagonist is a retired police officer who is arranged to work in a police station, and every day is patrolling as materials, consuming his patience.
Suddenly, one day, he woke up and found himself on a train.
A shrill train whistle pulls the protagonist back to reality. Outside the window, there is a galloping green space. The woman sitting across from him looked at him suspiciously, and continued the topic, and the protagonist suddenly felt his scalp tingle. He wasn't the person the woman said he was, and he didn't know the woman in front of him at all, and the last thing he remembered was that he was patrolling the streets.
The protagonist goes to the bathroom and discovers that he is not his original self at all. Before he could settle down, a powerful blast struck, and the entire train was blown to pieces in the flames.
It turns out that the protagonist is chosen to carry out a special mission, which is part of a government experimental project. Under the supervision of scientists, using special instruments, the protagonist can repeatedly "cross" into the body of a deceased who was killed in the train bombing, but each time he can only return to the last 8 minutes before the explosion, that is, at 7:40 in the morning of this day. Theoretically, "this is not a time machine, and the protagonist who goes back to the past cannot change history, nor can it prevent the explosion from happening." The reason why Colt went to great lengths to make the professionally trained Colt "immersive" was because the killer of the explosion claimed that he would carry out another, larger-scale terrorist operation in the city center six hours later.
The author of the novel is still describing returning to the train for the third time, trying to find out who the final murderer is.
The reason why some readers feel that the author is making up the number of words is because it is interspersed with a lot of memories of serving in the army and tedious details when he was a policeman, which writes a lot of words.
More than 300,000 words, only to return to the train for the third time to find the murderer, revealing that the final ending is still too far away.
Ning Hao had a little headache, and basically jumped to watch.
The idea of the book is very good, and even puts forward the principle that conforms to scientific speculation, and the contradictions and conflicts are clearly explained, but there are too many cumbersome details, which causes the rhythm of the whole novel to drag on a lot.
……
Gong Changwei is just an ordinary small clerk, and no one in his colleagues knows that he has another identity after work - an Internet writer.
Gong Changwei has never considered himself a writer, the kind of thing that can make thought-provoking works, he himself thinks is too far away. Fortunately, in online novels, what is needed is refreshing, what is needed is attractiveness, what is needed is creativity, and there is no need to consider too much depth.
"Multidimensional Space" is not his first work, and before that, he had a lot of works that hit the streets. There is a famous saying in the online literature industry: God must be the end of the book.
A web novel with more than one million dollars will be the key for the writer to knock on the door to the path of the great gods.
For Gong Changwei, a novel with more than one million dollars is deadly. "Multidimensional Space" was written after he conceived it for a long time, and in view of the shortcomings of his inability to control the long story, he specially set up some memories and police trivialities, which added a lot of space to the novel.
I have already 4335 collections.
Gong Changwei was a little surprised when he saw the backstage figures, and said that compared to the fantasy city, there are tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of collections, and it is very good for the science fiction classification to get these collections. After all, if it is niche, the proportion of payment will be a little higher, and the income will be a little more after it is put on the shelf.
Just when Gong Changwei was still subscribing after YY was put on the shelves, the readership suddenly seemed to explode, and it was 99+ soon.
According to custom, Gong Changwei also attached a readership to the introduction, and there are more than 300 people, who can be regarded as loyal fans of the novel. Gong Changwei is very concerned about maintaining the relationship with fans, after all, the class will be on the shelves soon, and the subscription depends on them.
However, what's wrong with the unpopular readership?
Gong Changwei nodded to the news with doubts.
"Withering God, this is going to be sent!"
"There is an alliance leader before it is on the shelves, and he is still rewarding!"
"Is it anyone's cloud shopping package that is wrong, and it has swiped to our withering gods?"
"You're stupid. Even if it's a set meal, it's not just one person playing there! ”
“……”
The bottom few saw that Gong Changwei was in the fog, and hurriedly pulled up. (To be continued.) )
