Chapter 299: Mythological Novels

Huaxia has its own myths and legends, although there is no "Journey to the West" and "Romance of the Gods", but there are other mythological novels, but the names and contents are different, but they are also long-lasting and popular mythological novels in China. For example, "Journey to the North", "Journey to the East", "Romance of the Immortals" and so on.

At the annual meeting of Crooked Entertainment, Stephen Zhao talked to a group of well-known online writers about creating current online novels based on classical Chinese myths and legends, and also saw the vast volumes of Chinese myths and legends and classic mythological novels, but the online writers did not apply these to the idea.

For example, "Romance of the Immortals", a mythological novel that has been circulated in China for more than 300 years, has a similar status in the minds of Chinese people to "Romance of the Gods" in the minds of Chinese people on the earth, and it can completely change its appearance and create many classic online novels.

In the "Romance of the Immortals" here, "immortals" and "people" are two words that are interpreted separately, one refers to immortals, and the other refers to mortals. The content is not complicated, that is, the gods and immortals of the heavenly court intervened in the war between mortals to change the dynasty, first a small-scale war, and then evolved into a big chaos, and the gods and immortals of the heavenly court were also divided into several factions of chaos, and finally it boiled down to a duel between good and evil. As a result of the war, the victorious side, the mortals established a new dynasty, the son of the Mandate of Heaven became the emperor, and the gods and immortals who helped this side were full of merit and enjoyed immeasurable purity; On the losing side, of course, the mortals were killed, and the immortals who supported this side were also killed, some of them entered reincarnation, and some of them became demons and were suppressed.

It is a bit similar to the story of "Romance of the Gods", but it is much more ambitious in terms of length and background, at least "Romance of the Gods" was a duel between King Wu of Zhou and King Shang at the beginning, and the teachings, human teachings, Nuwa, and the two Buddhas of the West all supported King Wu of Zhou, and King Shang also supported the scattered cultivation and interception of teachings, and the disparity was huge.

"Romance of the Immortals" is an imitation of the war when the dynasty changes. First, the male and female compete for the deer, and then the true king and the pseudo-king conquer the other forces one by one, and only then do they duel to decide who is the true dragon emperor.

When I first watched "Romance of the Immortals", Stephen Zhao felt extremely amazing, and it was hard to imagine that such a mythological novel with countless forces in the sky and the earth could be written. Because there are too many characters and potentials, the background of the world is too huge, and the more you go to the back, the more difficult it is to control, and without super strong pen power and memory, it is difficult to write with the help of current scientific and technological conditions, let alone ancient people.

Stephen Zhao is very suspicious that although the author of "Romance of the Immortals" is only one person, most of it is in the name of others, and in fact, many people have discussed it together.

Maybe it's because the background in the book is too big. The story is so wonderful and perfect that the web writers don't dare to try it lightly.

After talking about the movie script of "Tai Chi Zhang Sanfeng" with Chen Yufan, vice president of Orange Red Entertainment, Crooked Literature Network finally communicated with Zhao Xinhuo, the "Dragon God", and came to the magic capital to find him together, discussing the writing of a web novel similar to "Romance of the Immortals". In fact, it is related to the Chinese mythological novel "Romance of the Immortals".

Zhao Xinhuo came here with Wen Tao, editor-in-chief of Crooked Literature Network, and just joined the company. He ran into his sister Zhao Xin'er, who had already joined Red Star Media as a screenwriter.

"Brother, why did you run here?" Zhao Xin'er asked him in surprise, then looked at Wen Tao who was walking with him, and said with a smile: "This is Mr. Wen Tao, the editor-in-chief of the Crooked Literature Network, right?" Hello, I am Zhao Xin'er, Zhao Xinhuo's sister. ”

"Hello." Wen Tao shook hands with her warmly. I was really surprised: "I have long heard that Zhao Xinhuo's sister is a sister, but I didn't expect it to be true." ”

Zhao Xinhuo coughed and explained, "We are here to find Mr. Zhao, and we have already made an appointment with him." ”

Zhao Xin'er blinked her eyes and asked, "Is there something wrong?" ”

Zhao Xinhuo was a little embarrassed. But he still said what he meant.

Zhao Xin'er let out an "oh", then made a cheering gesture and said with a smile: "That brother, come on?" ”

Zhao Xinhuo suddenly couldn't cry or laugh.

When he walked to Zhao Xingchi's office with Wen Tao, Wen Tao asked with a smile: "I heard that Zhao Xingchi values your sister very much?" also praised her for being a gold medal screenwriter in the future? Is it true? ”

Zhao Xinhuo said uncertainly: "I don't know, it should be fake, it's just a polite remark." ”

"I have three ideas, I don't know which one you want, so I'll say them all, you choose for yourself, what do you think?" When he saw the two, Zhao Xingchi said straight to the point.

The two hurriedly responded, "Mr. Zhao, please speak." ”

Zhao Xingchi took a sip of tea, and then said the three ideas he thought of one by one: "Three ideas, the main plot is similar to what I talked about at the annual meeting that day. The first one, a decisive modern person traveled back to the end of the Ming Dynasty in a different time and space, where the gods and Buddhas were all over the sky, and the people were poisoned by Confucianism and ignorance, according to the way of heaven, that is, history, followed by the darkest history of China, and then the establishment of new China, but the decisive pig's feet with an unswerving heart, vowed to reverse the way of heaven, to a vigorous revolution, heaven and earth to step on the British move......"

Speaking of this, Zhao Xinhuo listened attentively, but Wen Tao stood up abruptly in shock, and spit out the sip of tea he had just drunk, his face turned blue and pale.

Zhao Xingchi smiled strangely and asked, "Mr. Wen, is there something wrong with what I said?" ”

Wen Tao smiled bitterly: "Mr. Zhao is right, but the courage is too big, heaven and earth step on the heroic move, come to a vigorous revolution, this is written by the river crab, so ......"

Zhao Xinhuo was puzzled: "No, this is very good, why is it a river crab?" ”

Wen Tao was about to explain, but Zhao Xingchi had already laughed, waved his hand and said, "This idea is to be written, and you can't do it without a certain amount of courage." Or listen to the last two ideas, and it won't be river crabs. The second, with the background of the book "Romance of the Immortals", the current universe and Saturn were actually formed after the Great War of the Immortals, and then wrote that modern people got the method of cultivation by chance, entered the fairy world, competed with the gods and immortals, and became a saint after the most slight. We can completely divide the legendary Da Luo Jin Xian, Taiyi Jin Xian, and Sage into ranks, and connect them with some myths and legends that opened the world in ancient times to improve the mythological system of China. I think, such a plot with a strong sense of substitution, it should be nice to write, right? ”

Zhao Xinhuo and Wen Tao did not speak, but the frowning brows showed that the two were not optimistic.

Stephen Zhao was not angry, but nodded secretly.

The first thought is "The Old Demon of Black Mountain" written by a great god of online literature that I read in my previous life, it is really decisive, full of anger, and at the same time full of danger.

Wen Tao was sensitive, and he immediately sensed the danger, which made him secretly praise.

As for the second idea, it is also the work of the great god of online literature, "The Buddha is Falling", but this time it was just taken by him as a reference, combined with the "Romance of the Immortals", a local Chinese mythological novel.

This idea is not dangerous and can be written, but it requires a strong pen and is not something that ordinary people can control. This point, not only Wen Tao noticed it, but Zhao Xinhuo also noticed it. (To be continued......)
