"Romance of the Gods" has not become a masterpiece comparable to "Journey to the West" for many reasons, but the main reason is that the academic community does not recognize it, believing that "Romance of the Gods" is contrary to tradition and is intolerable by established aesthetic concepts. In terms of folk influence, "Romance of the Gods" is enough to compete with "Journey to the West", and is even called "the masterpiece of gods and demons novels in the Ming Dynasty"!

Zhao Xinhuo didn't know this, and he didn't know how those experts and scholars in Huaxia would evaluate "Romance of the Gods", he could only evaluate it from his own point of view.

Plot is the main element of analysis.

When the king of Shang saw Nuwa's jade statue, his lustful heart became angry, which made Nuwa furious, and sent the three demons of Xuanyuan down to cause trouble. This plot naturally reminded him of the matter between "Duan Yu" and "Wang Yuyan" in "Dragon Babu", Duan Yu also remembered the "fairy sister" because he saw the jade statue.

The two are really very similar!

Of course, the difference between the two is huge. "Wang Yuyan" is a mortal woman, and "Duan Yu" can be pursued; "Nuwa" is the founding goddess of the ancient earth to create man, and she is a god who must be admired.

If you don't die, it won't be, Nuwa said directly, "I want to become the king of the world, enjoy the country for more than 600 years, and the number of qi has been exhausted, if I don't have a retribution with him, I won't see my inspiration!" Cheng Tang Jiangshan ended like this.

Imagination is the second element of mythological fiction.

If you don't have a rich imagination in writing mythological novels, it's like stir-frying without salt, and the things you get out are dry and tasteless.

There is no doubt that although there is only one time, Zhao Xinhuo can also see that the imagination of "Romance of the Gods" is good, and he is also convinced that "Romance of the Gods" must be a mythological novel with rich imagination.

The latter is convinced. It is based on Stephen Zhao's talent!

The feeling of the former is based on the content of the first episode. Let's talk about the plot first, I wrote King Su and Nuwa, and wrote the reason for the alternation of Shang and Zhou as a myth...... and so on, these can be seen to be rich in imagination; Then talk about the gods and demons, the three saints of Huoyun Palace, Fuxi, Emperor Yan, and Xuanyuan. Yin Jiao was later on the list of gods in Tai Sui, Yin Hong was the god of five grains, a thousand-year-old fox essence, a nine-headed pheasant essence, and a jade pipa essence; Let's talk about beckoning demon flags, shake them, and all the demons in the world will go to the palace to listen to the decree......

Can you write all of the above without a rich imagination?

No matter what others think, Zhao Xinhuo himself is bright-eyed. Exclaimed again and again: "Sure enough, it is a god list, mortals are gods!" There are also the three saints of Fuxi, Emperor Yan, and Xuanyuan, who live in Huoyun Palace, which can be imagined. There is also a demon flag.,This magic weapon is really a cheat.,Shake it.,All the demons in the world have to come to listen to the dispatch.,The magic weapon in the online novels I've read before is really weak! ”

Mortals become gods!

The Three Saints of Fire Cloud!

Recruit Demon Flags!

Everything made Zhao Xinhuo feel amazing. It was an eye-opener because he had read web novels for so many years. I have never seen such a magical imagination.

"When you write a Xianxia novel, how about writing the two magic weapons of the Fengshen List and the Demon Flag? It should be fun! Zhao Xinhuo pondered, and his face quickly showed a look of eagerness.

Reluctantly closed the webpage, Zhao Xinhuo searched for forums and post bars that were discussing "Romance of the Gods", and finally focused on the book review area of the official website of Red Star Media Company and Stephen Zhao's scarf.

"Sure enough, it's another classical mythological novel, when will Xing Ye write a Mandarin mythological novel? I don't understand it. ”

"If you can't understand the upstairs, don't read it, Xing Ye's mythological novels are not for Xiaobai!"

"This is a vernacular text, it's easy to understand, did the one on the first floor finish junior high school?"

"Writing mythological novels in the vernacular is the most flavorful!"

"It's like "Journey to the West", and it's also a poem at the beginning. There are poems in the middle of the continuous insertion as proof! ”

Duan Yu looked at the jade statue and fell in love with Wang Yuyan, and finally lived in both houses, and the king of Shang looked at the jade statue and became obsessed with Nuwa, and finally tragedy. It's the same people, why is the gap so big? ”

"Back upstairs, this is obviously because Master Xing likes Duan Yu, and he despises the king of Shang, can't you see this?"

"I didn't expect it to be written about ancient myths, which is older than the historical background of "Journey to the West", and even Nuwa has come out, it's really a bunker, but is it a kind of rush to watch "Romance of the Immortals"?"

"The fart upstairs, where is the same between "Romance of the Immortals" and "Fengshen Bang"? Don't see that the gods help mortals to fight for hegemony, it's all the same. If I eat, will you stop eating? ”

"The king of Shang is the idol and model of the majority of slings, and even the god Nuwa dares to be obscene, and he also writes obscene poems!"

"What's the nonsense upstairs, the king of Shang has blown up all the hanging wires and the rich and handsome, he is a big king anyway, and his lewd hands are so wet!"

"Ahem...... Is it only the one who is the most disadvantaged of my foot Nuwa God's demon flag? ”

"What's the cheating, there's Lao Tzu's King Kong? Lao Tzu's King Kong Zhuo is an invincible opponent who has beaten all over the heavens and Buddhas! ”

"The god list is the most detrimental, you can be a god!"

"Call those religious believers to come out and see how their gods are beaten by the Star Lord!"

"The reason why money worship is prevalent in China is because of the trouble caused by not believing in God, and a blasphemous person like Zhao Xingchi will definitely go to hell after death!"

Zhao Xinhuo was amazed: "Another classic has come out!" ”

As for the dispute between believing in religion and not believing in religion, although he was very unimpressed in his heart, and even more felt that the behavior of believing in religion was incredible, but everyone had everyone's freedom, and people were willing to believe it, but he couldn't control it, and he didn't have the right to take care of it, so he didn't think about joining it, and he quickly left this matter behind.

On the Internet, a storm of "Romance of the Gods" soon set off, and countless websites, forums, post bars, and crooked groups reprinted them one after another, and then discussed them in a big way. In less than half an hour, almost everyone who was surfing the Internet knew about it and watched it, and some people quickly turned it off because they didn't like it in the vernacular, but many more people took a look at it and quickly immersed themselves in it.

The next day, major media reported that the news broadcast by TV stations, radio stations, and newspapers swept the whole of China, so that those who did not go online knew that Zhao Xingchi's new book was published, called "Romance of the Gods", which is a high-quality mythological novel sought after by hundreds of millions of readers.

"Hey, did you watch "Romance of the Gods" last night?"

"Hey, have you read Master Xing's new book "Romance of the Gods"?"

With this frenzy, the above two sentences have become the words that most people must say when talking after November 8.

If anyone says that he hasn't watched "Romance of the Gods", he will definitely be afraid that he is alienated by his relatives and friends, and he is out!

At the same time, those celebrities who jumped out to put the icing on the cake for Stephen Zhao jumped out to praise how good "Romance of the Gods" is, saying it in great detail, and saying it is the truth, so that Stephen Zhao himself was surprised and blushed: ""Romance of the Gods" is really so good? ”

After all, Stephen Zhao has been touted for a long time, and he soon disagreed. On November 9, he returned to the magic capital from Nagumo Province, and in addition to dealing with some company matters, he was mainly busy with the release of the movie. Starting in November, the company will have three films to be released before the end of the year.

First of all, Zhao Xiner's small-budget love movie "Love Through Time and Space" was screened on November 14 and officially released nationwide on November 17.

The second is his own filming of "Truant Weilong 2", which was not screened, and was released directly on November 3o, and all countries and regions in Asia were released simultaneously.

Finally, the co-production "The King of Kung Fu" was completed at the end of January, and it is scheduled to be released simultaneously worldwide on December 2o. As for the screening ceremony, there will be two screenings, one in the United States and one in China.

Among the three movies, "The King of Kung Fu" is the most important, followed by "Truant Dragon 2", and "Love Through Time and Space" is at the bottom. The box office of "Truant Dragon 2" in China may be a multiple of "The King of Kung Fu", and it may completely explode "The King of Kung Fu" in terms of word-of-mouth; But internationally, "The King of Kung Fu" will completely explode "Truant Dragon 2" both at the box office and word of mouth, and even "Truant Dragon 2" will not be able to go to the European and American markets.

"Truant Dragon" is an example, although the domestic box office broke a series of records, the total box office of the three places on both sides of the strait of China is nearly 200 million Chinese dollars, equivalent to more than 300 million US dollars, but in the European and American markets, the table Xiàn is miserable, and even movie tickets cannot be sold.

The results of the investigation after the incident showed that Europeans and Americans could not understand "Truant Dragon" at all and did not know what "Truant Dragon" was about. Those Chinese and even Asians seem to have very funny behaviors and lines, Europeans and Americans don't feel it at all, but feel very boring, like circus clowns.

The people of Red Star Media can only be speechless.

Stephen Zhao could only be speechless, but thinking about the clown scenes that Europeans and Americans watched with cheers and laughter, he couldn't understand it like many Chinese people, so he was relieved.

Cultural barriers are not so easy to eliminate.

"The King of Kung Fu" is not, it is completely aimed at the European and American markets, and Hollywood screenwriters have joined, and the international performance is naturally more expected than "Truant Dragon 2".

"The screening of the film "Love Through Time and Space", boss, will you go?" As soon as she returned, Lin Meijia asked him that she wanted to plan his future itinerary.

Zhao Xingchi thought about it, nodded and replied, "I want to go." ”

"Love Through Time and Space" is Zhao Xiner's first personal film, and he, as Zhao Xiner's boss, should be cheering, which is an encouragement to employees.

"What about the screening of "The King of Kung Fu"?" Lin Meijia asked again.

"I won't go to the screening ceremony on the US imperialists' side, I'll go to the screening ceremony in the capital!" Stephen Zhao replied.

After a while, the itinerary for the film was negotiated.

Zhao Xingchi saw that there was nothing to do, so he was about to go home, and a phone call suddenly came from the capital: "Master Xing, how about helping to make a program of "Touching Life"?" (To be continued......)
