Chapter 471: I really want to live another 500 years

As a copyist, Zhang Qiuxi has always thought that she knows very well how many catties and taels she has, and in the eyes of outsiders, she is an absolute genius, and she jokes that success is only because she stands on the shoulders of giants, which is actually the case. Because of the giants of the original time and space, her doctrine was so successful.

And in fact, her so-called ability to recognize herself is really a bit arrogant, there is nothing wrong with her success thanks to time and space travel, and she also made her fortune all the way by plagiarism, but her personal ability is no longer comparable to her previous life, and it is wrong to measure it by the standards of her previous life.

Because of the welfare, her current brain is a CPU that is overclocked at high speed, and what she has seen and understood in her previous life can be used in seconds. Take "The Road is Endless" as an example, the plot is the result of the experience of processing and analyzing the countless novels I have read in my previous life, which is well reflected in the choice of words and sentences, because I remember a variety of vocabulary thesaurus, so I can put it away freely, if I want to be beautiful, I can write a beautiful effect, and if I want to be gorgeous, I can write a gorgeous and majestic effect.

The same is true for the understanding of the Tao, how to say that in the previous life, I also watched the wisdom of the "Tao Te Ching" of the hundred pulpits, the experience of "Zhuangzi", these programs, and various interpretations, other people's explanations plus her own understanding, in fact, her current perception is not so shallow.

"Saying that Endless is the Celestial Empire's version of the Lord of the Rings, it's not that the content of your work is the same as the Lord of the Rings......" Jonathan wanted to explain, Zhang Qiu regretted it; Waving his hand, he said, "I understand, I understand, I just don't like the Celestial Empire version." ”

Jonathan smiled and said, "There are elves, dwarves, and hobbits in The Lord of the Rings, and there are demons and monsters in your endless path. The same epic story, the same level of work. It is inevitable to say this in the case of new entrants, and there is no need to worry too much. ”

"yes. Maybe when it is published, the cover will be printed directly with the words "Lord of the Rings" of the Celestial Empire. Ye Qingqing followed and coaxed, this is also a way of marketing and promotion, which is not uncommon, and in most cases, the Chinese people add it themselves, just to get some light.

Jonathan said: "That's not going to happen, after all, Mr. Xiqiu doesn't need to increase the reader's recognition in this way, it's too much to do." ”

"Whatever you want, it's always been yours anyway." Zhang Qiuxi didn't like this statement. But it doesn't matter if she really wants to do it, she only needs to authorize and operate, and she is not qualified to meddle in the affairs of other people's companies, so she put away the check and said: "I know that every time you come, you can't eat nonsense, and now I give you the opportunity to have a treat together, where are we going to eat?" ”

"No, you just got such a large amount of manuscript fees, you should have treated you to a treat, right?"

"Your company got the copyright, so of course it's time for you to celebrate. And you're a man, so you're a bit of a gentleman. When eating and drinking, Zhang Qiuxi did not resist being a woman at all, and there were quite a lot of excuses she could find. Successfully pushed away the obligation of meeting old friends and fulfilling the friendship of landlords.

Jonathan's purchase of the rights was a bit unexpected, but it was just right in terms of length, because Western Union Press had just published the first volume of "The Road Without Ending". In the past, overseas publishers flocked to the market during this period. Before that, the Japanese version had already been given to Kawasaki Shoten.

Zhang Qiuxi has read some light novels. But it's not clear whether all popular novels in Japan are light novels, anyway, "The Road is Endless" is sold as a light novel. The cultural gap between the Celestial Empire and Japan itself is not so big. At the beginning, Zi MMA also said that publishing in Japan was not a problem at all.

As for the Western countries, it is a bit of a wait-and-see meaning, after the publishing giant Eswell, there are also European publishers coming to the door one after another, but the real explosion is after the English version sales are also amazing, as if it can be recognized by English readers, and readers of other languages can also be recognized.

"In this way, the variety of texts translated by Dao Endless will not be less than that of previous works, which is especially gratifying, but I will have to act as your literary agent again for a long time." Copyright has always been the responsibility of red beans.

"Anyway, it's not the first time, who called you the editor-in-chief." Zhang Qiuxi said as a matter of course.

Ye Qingqing yawned and walked over, because they ate Jonathan's meal yesterday, and they let Zhang Qiu, who received a huge manuscript fee, bleed, so he was a little late, and the director was a little sleep-deprived today, and said: "Before, I just felt that the pattern of Ah Qiu's novels was getting bigger and bigger, but there was no specific concept, and now foreigners think that this is the Celestial Empire's version of The Lord of the Rings, but they have a reference, and they are even more determined that it is really the right choice not to sell the film copyright in the first place." ”

"Nonsense, I don't know my own work?" Zhang Qiuxi rolled her eyes, and Ye Qingqing said, "What you were worried about was just special effects, right?" I mean directing ability, your work involves war scenes again, and this is not something that ordinary directors can control. ”

The war is no stranger to readers of "The Road Endlessly", the beginning is that the protagonist turned the tide in exchange for ten years of peace on the border, but the description is not detailed, and the main content is to portray the protagonist's previous success. There is also the current plot, which is no longer a dispute between human countries and nations.

Whether it is a human or a demon, they all have their own opinions on the road of seeking the Tao, and there are some self-proclaimed guardians who always take it as their responsibility to eliminate demons and defend the Tao, and the traditional story of the view that monsters are all bad Zhang Qiuxi also retained it and used it on some people. Coupled with the problems left over from history, various camps have been in constant conflict in the cultivation realm.

In addition to race, there are also factional disputes. The great gods fight and the little ghosts suffer, and mortals will slowly be implicated and involved in the whirlpool, which is somewhat of the shadow of "Romance of the Gods" in this regard. As for the so-called historical problems, they can be traced back to the beginning of heaven and earth, and the specific problems have not been revealed, but only vaguely mentioned, which requires the protagonist to solve the puzzle.

The story is getting more and more colorful and majestic, and at the same time, the stalls are getting bigger and bigger, and the reader is fascinated by it, but at the same time, he can't help but worry, when will such a big hole be filled? It's another lifetime series. If Zhang Qiuxi can stick to the length, there is no problem, no matter how long the reader can accept it, I am afraid that after a long time, the audience will get tired of it, and she will get tired of it first.

This kind of worry is not without reason, the readers who jumped into the martial arts pit are still in tears when they think about it, there are only five of the seven weapons, and it seems that there is no intention of filling the pit at all, what kind of ending will the mysterious organization of the Blue Dragon Club be is still thinking about countless readers.

It's a pity that Zhang Qiuxi can't tell them, even if he copies "Overlord Gun", and then creates his own story to fill in the pit for Master Gu, it is impossible to see the fate of the Blue Dragon Society, which is not the point at all in the story.

"If you can't shoot it, don't shoot it, The Lord of the Rings was written in the fifties, and it was made into a movie until the new century, spanning half a century, and you haven't finished writing the book now, what's the hurry?" The red beans are very open-minded.

"I'm not in a hurry, but if we have to wait for half a century, we won't be able to see it if we have a short life, right?"

"Miss Conch mode, Miss Conch mode." Yang Jie reminded with a smile that in another fifty years, they will be the same as now, but they will not die when they get older.

"That's a bigger problem, which means that there is no end to the Tao and there will never be a chance to appear on the big screen?" Her reminder made Zhang Qiuxi feel that the problem was even more serious.

Shangguan Jin said: "Except for the special effects, what Qingqing said is also the truth. To shoot epic war scenes well, the director needs to have a strong ability to control it, you look at domestic movies, the Three Kingdoms are not less filmed, the Warring States are not less filmed, and the Second World War in the late Qing Dynasty is not less filmed, which of these movies is not to be funny? ”

"Well, I can't say that, some directors didn't focus on war from the beginning...... "In Zhang Qiuxi's cognition, domestic costume war films can't even restore the real war situation in ancient times, let alone make a good story.

"Because I can't do it, I can only avoid the heavy and light. Those directors still don't understand that it is not possible to invite more extras to make the movie magnificent. Shangguan Jin continued: "So if you want to make Dao Endless adapt it into a movie as soon as possible, don't read the materials, just write how fantastical it is, at least these special effects can be done." ”

Although Zhang Qiuxi depicts a super martial arts world, it is also a world of cold weapons, and it is impossible for people or demons and monsters in war to move mountains and reclaim the sea. Don't say that this doesn't fit the story, if it's really like this, she doesn't know how to write the war scene at all, just imagine what the hundreds of thousands of Monkey King battles will look like? How do you arrange your troops?

In the era of cold weapons, the arrangement of troops in battle is very particular, unlike some movies that are like child's play. Like the one-word long snake array, the eight-door golden lock array, etc., some works are more exaggerated, but they are not like some other works show, and the audience seems to be a joke.

Zhang Qiuxi didn't understand the specific arrangement, so she read more information to understand, but the movie was made like a bear and had no reference significance at all, and there was not much information she could find, and there were still different opinions about the formation. Therefore, I can only read more ancient war historical materials by myself, and write according to my own understanding after understanding.

It's better to exaggerate the exaggeration of the formation, anyway, it was originally written as a surreal work, if the formation is in line with the actual situation, how to curb those cultivators who can turn the river and the sea upside down. Zhang Qiuxi could only ask helplessly: "You said that if I write in extra detail, then is it okay to shoot according to what I wrote?" (To be continued......) R1292
