Chapter 603: The Twilight Zone

Mythological fiction, this is a big genre in fiction, this is true in ancient times, even more so in modern times, this is true in China on Earth, and it is also true in China on Saturn.

Modern mythological novels are not mentioned, they are all upgraded to fight monsters, fast food and cool texts.

Speaking of ancient mythological novels, Saturn has a lot in China, the most famous is "The Romance of the Immortals", which tells the story of the gods descending to help mortals compete for the world, divided into several forces to dominate the world, and finally with the return of the true dragon to the Son of Heaven, the gods returned to their places, the victorious immortals were full of merit and returned to heaven, and the failed immortals were either dead or suppressed.

There are also many in China on the earth, but there are only a few famous ones, such as "The Classic of Mountains and Seas", "Journey to the West", "Romance of the Gods", "Sou Shen Ji", "Strange Tales from Liao Zhai", "The Biography of Jigong", "Mirror Flower Yuan". Not to mention the rest, "Sou Shen Ji" and "Mirror Flowers" may not be known by many people just by listening to the titles, but when it comes to the content inside, I believe many people will know it.

"Sou Shen Ji", don't get me wrong, it's not the one of the young writer Shuxia Wild Fox, but the Zhiwei novel written by the Eastern Jin Dynasty historian Gan Bao, which has the familiar "Cadre Mo Ye", "Dong Yong" and so on.

"Mirror Flowers" is even more unfamiliar than "Sou Shen Ji", and Stephen Zhao has only heard of it, knowing that the representative repertoire of Meipai Peking Opera "Lian Jinfeng" is adapted from "Mirror Flowers", and then there is "Hundred Flowers Fairy", and the others are not very clear.

The answer chosen by the majority of netizens is to let him write novels with "mythology" themes, which means that he can really not write much, and his artistic achievements are lower than "Journey to the West"!

"What to write? Let's write "Romance of the Gods"! ”

However, Stephen Zhao didn't think about it for too long and quickly made a decision.

Needless to say, "Mirror Flowers" can't be written at all; Needless to say, "Sou Shen Ji" is a strange novel. In terms of writing, it is not much different from "Strange Tales from Liaozhai", and the value of writing is not great.

"The Legend of Jigong" is too upside down, you can consider writing it directly into a TV series script, and then shoot it directly, and write it as a novel.

"Journey to the West" he has already written.

"The Classic of Mountains and Seas" is so old that no one will read it when it is written. And Stephen Zhao has only seen part of it, not all of it.

In this way, there is only "Romance of the Gods" left.

There are quite a few mythological novels in the West, the most well-known is "The Lord of the Rings" (also known as "The Lord of the Rings"), which has made several epic magic blockbusters in a row, "The Lord of the Rings Reappears", "The Two Towers", "The King is Invincible", and later "The Hobbit". Stephen Zhao believes that after he crosses over, the film company will definitely make several movies adapted from "The Lord of the Rings". There is a singing and crying life, and the sequel is not endless.

Then there is "A Song of Ice and Fire", "The Wheel of Time" and so on.

But it's a pity that although Stephen Zhao has read it, it's not interesting to write it, these novels know that they are Western-style at a glance, and adapting the background of the novel into the Oriental world can't become an Oriental myth, it can only be a Western magic novel dressed in Oriental skin. It's like a fantasy novel in an online novel, saying that it is a Western fantasy. The various settings are also Western, dwarves, elves, goblins, magicians, priests, necromancers, and so on. But a discerning person will know at a glance that it is completely an oriental-style novel, because the thinking and style of the characters in it are all oriental.

Eastern mythology and Western fantasy are two very different systems.

The most significant point is that the immortals in Eastern mythology have all kinds of abilities, which are completely impossible for mortals to resist; But in the magic of the West. The so-called gods and demons, except that they are different from humans in appearance, and their muscle strength is a little larger than that of people, are there any differences between them and humans in other places? There is no difference!

Go and look at the heroes in the magic film and television dramas who can defeat the gods and demons after a few days of physical exercise, and you will find that the gods and demons are really weak!

Spit on "The Avengers". In addition to watching the special effects, the various settings are really heartbreaking and give people a sense of intellectual superiority. The so-called "god" Loki is really a "weak chicken", who can obviously transform and transform, but he actually fights with Captain America in hand-to-hand combat, fists to the flesh. There is also Thor,, he can fly, his body doesn't fly at supersonic speed in the sky, and his face and hair are not damaged when he rubs it violently, but when he gets rid of that hammer, his combat effectiveness is actually about the same as that of Captain America, is this showing his IQ or showing his IQ?

Xing Ye fell from the sky and performed a trick like a divine palm, but his clothes were burned out, and his whole body turned into a big fireball!

Really drunk!

The only thing that bothers Stephen Zhao a little is that the main lines of "Romance of the Gods" and "Romance of the Immortals" are similar, both of which are immortals helping mortals compete for the world, but the plot of "Romance of the Immortals" is much fuller than "Romance of the Gods". He believes that if "The Romance of the Gods" is written, people in China will definitely compare "The Romance of the Gods" with "The Romance of the Immortals", and then all kinds of sour words will come out.

Of course, if you want to write or write, Stephen Zhao is not a person who gives up lightly.

Careful analysis and analysis, "Romance of the Gods" still has many advantages over "Romance of the Immortals".

The first is the immortals who appear, in terms of quantity, "Romance of the Gods" is not as good as "Romance of the Immortals", but in terms of quality, it is surpassed, because every immortal in "Romance of the Gods" has quite a role.

Secondly, there are more spells and magic weapons in "Romance of the Gods" than in "Romance of the Immortals".

Reading mythological novels, in addition to the plot, more important is fantasy imagination!

There are two points that are a little bit, and enough.

What's more, many places in "Romance of the Gods" have filled in the holes for "Journey to the West", who is Master Sun Wukong, how did Buddhism come about, how did Guanyin Bodhisattva come about, etc.; At the same time, he made a spectrum for the chaotic immortal system, the three clear and four royal, the five heavenly emperors, the thunder department, the fire department, the dou department, the four heavenly kings, and so on; also created many well-known immortals, Jiang Ziya, Shen Gongbao, Nezha, Erlang God, Lei Zhenzi, Su Daji, Wen Zhong, Zhao Gongming, Ran Deng......

"After these immortals come out, I believe the readers' reactions will be interesting!" Zhao Xingchi smiled slightly, and then sent a scarf out: "Since my friends want me to write about mythology, then my new book will write about mythology." First of all, the new book is just for entertainment, and it doesn't involve anything, friends, don't take it seriously~"

Soon. Under his neck, there were a slip of replies such as "looking forward to ......", "asking when it will be released", "what is the name of the new book", and so on.

Stephen Zhao did not reply immediately, but waited a few days before replying.

After turning off the computer, Stephen Zhao dialed a call back.

Qian Minli's lazy gentle voice soon came from the phone: "What novel did you think of writing so quickly?" ”

Stephen Zhao asked rhetorically: "Are you looking at the scarf?" ”

Qian Minli said: "Yes, use your mobile phone to watch." ”

Stephen Zhao replied: "I am thinking about the mythological novel requested by netizens, but I already have an idea of the romance novel you explained." ”

"What? Really? Qian Minli asked in surprise.

"Really, more real than real gold!" Zhao Xingchi said with a smile. Gave her a positive answer.

Qian Minli's charming and soft laughter came: "Hehe, great, tell me quickly, what are your ideas, what kind of story are you going to tell?" ”

Stephen Zhao said: "What story can romance novels have? Isn't it a lingering love story between a man and a woman, or a man and several women, or a man and a woman? ”

Qian Minli let out a disgusted "huh" and said, "Can't you be tactful?" I'm starting to get sick. ”

Zhao Xingchi was speechless for a moment, but then smiled: "Okay." I've already thought of the title of the book, it's called "Twilight", which tells the story of a human girl and a zombie boy who fall in love! ”

Qian Minli sighed and said, "Twilight? It's quite poetic to get a name, but can't you change this story? Listening to it reminds me of "I Have a Date with a Zombie"! ”

Stephen Zhao couldn't help laughing: "My boy will be replaced, how about being replaced by a vampire?" ”

This time it was Qian Minli's turn to be speechless, and she said after a while: "I said, is there any difference between vampires and zombies?" You can't replace the actor with a normal person. ”

"You don't think it's exciting for boys to be aliens. Is there a mysterious romance? Stephen Zhao asked rhetorically, and then said: "And vampires and zombies are still very different." Vampires can transform into bats and are the vampire monsters of the West; Zombies cannot transform into bats and are the vampire monsters of the East. ”

Qian Minli didn't give him face at all, and said: "There is excitement, there is mystery, and romance is gone." I felt eerie and hairy. As for the difference between vampires and zombies you said, it seems to me that there is no difference, they all have to suck blood, they are all monsters! ”

Stephen Zhao sweated wildly. I couldn't help but ask: "I don't feel it when I write about normal people, what do you think I should do?" ”

Qian Minli thought for a while and replied, "Whatever! ”

"Whatever?"

Stephen Zhao was going crazy, he hated hearing the word "whatever" the most, so he said: "I'll write a little bit out for you first, right?" ”

Qian Minli reluctantly said: "Okay, but declare in advance, I have the right to return it if it doesn't look good!" ”

"Ahem, cough, cough......" Zhao Xingchi was directly choked, and said angrily: "Should I say remember to give a good review, dear?" ”

Qian Minli chuckled: "That's the best!" ”

After hanging up the phone, Zhao Xingchi asked Cangtian speechlessly, it really makes people crazy when a woman gets up casually!

Far away in Changnan's hometown, Qian Minli laughed extremely happily after hanging up the phone, laughed a ball, and then told Lin Baoyi about it with great interest.

Lin Baoyi couldn't cry or laugh, laughed and slapped her lightly, and said, "Be careful that he gets angry!" ”

Qian Minli smiled at the corners of her eyebrows, and said indifferently: "He won't, I know him!" ”

Half an hour later, Qian Minli was about to squint for a while, when the mobile phone suddenly rang with a "ding dong", and then a sweet electronic synthesis voice sounded: "Master, you have a new email, please pay attention to check!" ”

"Who's?"

Qian Minli quickly opened her mobile phone, and then saw an email called "Twilight", the sender was "dear husband".

Qian Minli was taken aback: "So fast? (To be continued......)
