Chapter 3: Novel: Home Alone
And so the night passed.
As long as Li Xuechu was in this room, he would always involuntarily look forward to the sudden arrival of the space-time tunnel, although he knew that the probability was very small. One is harder than winning the jackpot, twice in a row? Dream!
"It's not a way to go on like this, I don't have the heart to write a book." Li Xuechu decided that he couldn't waste time on such a small probability anymore, "Let's move out after the rent is due." ”
Li Xuechu picked up his mobile phone and carefully searched for the information stored inside. The most stored in the mobile phone are songs, Chinese Cantonese, Japanese, Korean, European and American, a total of two or three hundred.
Li Xuechu usually listens to songs very miscellaneous, and he feels that he can listen to everything, and the music player has also set up the function of listening to it for him, but unfortunately it is basically after the new century, and it may not be popular to sell it now, and he doesn't even know how to recognize the simple score, and the "creation" of various songs with different styles one after another is too weird, so leave this for later.
The second is all kinds of software.,These things are useless to me now.,But there's no need to delete it.,Who knows when it will come in handy.,It's a lot of money.。
A few more movies, the later generations of wireless network, director zhì Li Xuechu watched movies basically online, these are still used to relieve boredom when they are bored before they cross over, but unfortunately they are all European and American science fiction blockbusters, the current technology does not talk about Xiangjiang, Hollywood can't shoot it. And to adapt the movie into a novel and vividly present those big scenes in front of readers in the form of words, it is still difficult for Li Xuechu, who is still a rookie of online literature, let's talk about it later.
Sadly, there is not a single novel by the Internet gods in the mobile phone. That's right.,I used to watch it online.,Basically, I haven't downloaded it.,And I forgot about it after watching it.。 Some of the more classic novels have been read several times, and the ** part of them is also quite impressive. But when I really want to recall the novel and write it on paper, I am blind! I remember the general plot.,But if you want to write it yourself, you can't write the effect that the original work should have.,It's obviously drawn with the appearance of a horse.,Draw it out.,But how do you look like a mule.。
threw down the pen in a dejected manner, forget it, don't destroy the classics, or implement the original plan and adapt all kinds of blockbuster movies in later generations into novels. The length of a movie is generally 9o minutes and 12o minutes, the most common, and if it is adapted into a novel, the number of words can generally be controlled within 200,000 words, which is quite suitable for practice.
decided to adapt the movie of later generations, and the next thing is to choose the theme. Science fiction? In the future, Hollywood will really have a lot of wonderful blockbuster sci-fi movies, such as The Matrix, Transformers, and Avatar, but these adaptations are a little more difficult, so let's put them in the future.
There are also some soft sci-fi, Inception, butterfly effect, source code and the like are also good, but at present, sci-fi fans are still a niche in Xiangjiang. Actually, it's not necessarily.,After all, the Wesleyan series is also quite popular now.,Maybe it's just a lack of good works.,But it's better to put it back.。 Transformers seems to be animation is the United States Hasbro and Japanese companies in the United States to cooperate, this is a big gold mine, once launched, immediately swept the world, the kind of car and airplane machine qì human toys just on the shelves to conquer the world's children. If you can get him out in advance, billionaires are indispensable, and they will prosper from 84 to 14 years.
When I was a child, I also bought Transformers toys and watched animations. But it's a pity that I can't draw comics, so I can't make such a sensation if I describe it in words. Forget it, there are still a few more years, and then we'll see how to get a piece of this big cake.
What about magic? The Lord of the Rings novel version is already available, Harry Potter has only watched two before, and the specific plot is not very clear, and the adaptation is powerless. Pirates of the Caribbean can, but I'll leave it at a later date.
It's better to write something simple, light-hearted and funny comedy first. It is now the explosive stage of Xiangjiang films, and in the next ten years, Xiangjiang movies will be popular in Asia, and the box office markets in Taiwan, Southeast Asia, Japan and South Korea are quite good. However, in the early days, there are basically not many companies that dare to launch large-scale films, and low-cost movies are still the mainstream of the market.
Writing funny stories that don't require too many scenes and no big scenes is easier to win the favor of film companies, and be quickly adapted into movies to make money. And the box office market in Xiangjiang also seems to have a soft spot for comedy movies, as long as the plot is not bad, good comedy almost does not worry about the market, and other genres are not necessarily. Classics also have the possibility of hitting the streets, and sometimes good movies do not mean high box office, especially those that are literary and artistic.
And the other two magic weapons of Xiangjiang movies: action movies and police movies have not yet become a climate, this is not in a hurry, let's talk about it in two years.
Once the subject matter has been chosen, which one should be "created" first?
There are a lot of classic comedies in later generations, but first of all, they must be close to the current environment, there are computers, the Internet, mobile phones, karaoke and other props, and it is definitely not good, most of the big brothers are still new things, it is best to have the main scene in some simple residence or something, just use the phone to contact the outside world, and there are fewer main characters.
narrowed down the scope of the subject matter, went through the movies in my head, and eliminated most of them. A movie that I watched as a child slowly surfaced.
"Hehe, I'll write this." Li Xuechu finally chose the movie. I sat down calmly, took out the traditional dictionary, spread out the manuscript paper, and began to write the title of the novel: Home Alone!
The original work of this novel was surrounded by many large-budget science fiction movies in the 90s, and set a global box office miracle of 530 million US dollars at a small cost. The main scene is a house, and the protagonist is a child and two stupid thieves.
The plot is also simple: eight-year-old Le Tsai accidentally left him at home in a panic when his family was away for Christmas vacation, making him the head of the family overnight. Lezai is so happy that he doesn't have adult interference, and he plays at home to his heart's content, decorating his home into a playground in his mind.
But what he doesn't know is that two burglars who have just come out of prison have already set their sights on his home and have already completed their "reconnaissance work", intending to take advantage of the Christmas when no one is around. Two thieves and a child meet unexpectedly in the house, and a battle of wits around the house begins, starting a series of cat and mouse games.
Le Tsai had a deal with the thief and "entertained" the two bad guests. In the process of using game traps to try to fend off these two bandits, the whole house is turned upside down, and the two stupid thieves are played around by witty children, and the situation is endless, and the laughter is endless. The final result, of course, was that the child successfully defended his homeland, and the stupid thief was finally caught.
Well, I remember the main plot and all kinds of jokes clearly, and there are no cultural differences in films with this theme, readers and audiences in the East and the West can basically understand it, and it is also a series.
After the success of this movie, the sequel can be written immediately, Xiangjiang Films is currently following the trend, once the movie is successful, similar themes will continue to appear, and if you are unlucky, you may collide with your follow-up story.
The general plot was made up first, and the traditional Chinese characters that could not be used in simplified Chinese were used first, and twenty or thirty thousand words were sprinkled in one go. Li Xuechu looked at the manuscript paper full of writing, and was quite complacent.
You don't need to bother with the plot to finish this story today, so which newspaper should I send this novel to? There are quite a few newspapers in Xiangjiang, and there are 20 or 30 newspapers in the city with a population of 5 million, and no less than 60 in a rough estimate. And the more influential ones are Sing Tao Daily, Cheng Pao, Ming Pao, Oriental Daily, etc., these are all big newspapers that still exist until later generations, I don't know if there are novels serialized, Ming Pao and Oriental Daily have them anyway.
Oriental Daily was ruled out first. Although it will be the best-selling newspaper in Hong Kong in the future, the management seems to be Taiwanese, and it was very unfriendly to the mainland in the early days of its establishment.
This is not necessarily groundless, for a long time in Hong Kong people like to divide camps and express their positions, and people in different camps are hostile to each other. Newspapers with too strong a political atmosphere should stay away first, not to mention that they are still hostile to the mainland.
Li Xuechu still gave priority to Ming Pao, after all, it was founded by Jin Daxia, and his position was neutral and close to the mainland. But I've heard that it's quite picky? No matter, vote for him first and see if the conditions are acceptable.
