Chapter 58: Create the universe of "Qin Shi Mingyue"!

After reading the new version of "The Legend of the Yue Female Swordsman" "revised" by Li Yan, He Yun suddenly fell into silence.

He didn't expect that compared with the first version of "The Legend of the Yue Female Swordsman", this version has made a qualitative leap in terms of the plot of the novel, the overall structure of the story, and the rhetoric and language.

"This Nizi's writing level has improved too quickly, right? It's a leap forward! He Yun muttered in a low voice, and couldn't help but praise.

That's right!

Although this version of "The Legend of the Yue Female Swordsman" is not a big brain, at least it tells a complete story clearly, and it is also mixed with the plot that many girls come up with, although there are still many unreasonable places, but compared to the previous version, it is already very good.

And most importantly, this version cuts out a lot of minor characters compared to the one he read before, so that the whole novel suddenly highlights which are the core characters and which are the secondary characters.

Of course, there are still many small flaws in this version, such as many characters who appeared in the original history were not in the same time and space, and heroes appeared to eat beef and pay for it with silver, etc.

But it's much better than the previous version, at least it doesn't look so embarrassing.

"It seems that this Nizi must have put in a lot of effort!" He Yun muttered in a low voice, but pondered again.

In fact, before this, to be precise, the last time he read the manuscript for Li Yan at Township Chief Li, he had considered writing his own "Qin Shi Mingyue" based on the "Legend of the Yue Female Swordsman" written by this Nizi.

But later, for various reasons, he did not open a "new pit".

The main reason for this is that he is worried that because of his insufficient knowledge reserves, the "Qin Shi Mingyue" he wrote will eventually become nondescript and become a work that is not like the four.

After all, there are too many characters involved in the original work of "Qin Shi Mingyue", and there are many common senses in the pre-Qin period in the original work, with his current knowledge reserves, I am afraid that he will not be able to truly "restore" this epic masterpiece - "Qin Shi Mingyue", let alone turn it into his own work.

Because this not only requires him to spend a lot of time in the early stage to formulate the plot outline, but also has to go through one to two months to verify many details, such as the official position, clothing, army, and the thoughts of the hundred schools of thought in the pre-Qin period.

If you add some of your own things, the preliminary work of preparing this novel alone will take at least three months.

If you don't have inspiration or other reasons, it's going to take longer.

What's more, there are no computers now, and there is no way to search online, so the required knowledge must be completed by reading a large number of relevant books.

In this way, the preliminary work of the entire novel will definitely not be completed in three months.

However, after he finished reading the new version of "The Legend of the Yue Female Swordsman" written by Li Yan, he suddenly had a new idea.

Since the original "Qin Shi Mingyue" system is too large and there are many characters, it is better to start from point to face, such as first taking a certain character as the protagonist of the novel, writing one of the plots, and then writing a novel focusing on another protagonist.

However, many of the secondary characters can be related to the previous one, or directly connect the previous and the next, just like the later "Jiuzhou World" series of novels or the "Marvel Universe" to build a "universe" of "Qin Shi Mingyue".

There are three major advantages of writing in this way, one is that it can simplify the amount of preparation work in the early stage of the novel, and the other is that it can show the complex plot, character structure and hundreds of schools of thought of the original version one by one, so that readers can have a step-by-step process from simple to complex.

And he himself can write while filling in some missing "holes", or bury foreshadowing and open new pits.

As for the third benefit, it's more cheesy.

That's right!

If you split the whole novel into many novels, you can not only "water" a lot of words, but also earn more manuscript fees.

This is like a young writer in later generations, who became famous at a young age, and after becoming famous, he released many single novels, but these novels can "water" the plot in tens of thousands of words, but he was stunned to write it as an old lady's footwrap, long and smelly.

Not only that, but he later became a director across the industry and made his novels into bad movies one after another.

Of course, He Yun will not really go to "water" for any number of words, let alone be a director across industries, he thinks that a writer must first do his job well and be worthy of your readers.

That's how you can be a real writer.

Belch.......

It seems that all this is far away, but let's get back to the point.

In fact, the later "Qin Shi Mingyue" series of animations actually covers a similar mode of thinking.

Otherwise, "Qin Shi Mingyue" would not have started filming intermittently, and there would even be a phenomenon of filling in the loopholes while writing the plot.

However, He Yun definitely can't copy the original work of "Qin Shi Mingyue", he thinks, since he wants to simplify "Qin Shi Mingyue", which plot should be written first? With that character as the central protagonist? This has become the most important issue at present, and it must be the first to be solved.

According to common sense, if "Qin Shi Mingyue" insists on saying that there is a protagonist, it must undoubtedly be the male protagonist Jing Tianming.

As the son of Jing Ke, one of the four great assassins, he has many characters who appear around him.

It can be seen that Jing Keming is undoubtedly the absolute protagonist of this series of anime.

But the question is, the story background involved in this series of anime is grand, wouldn't it be inappropriate to choose such an obscure character, or even a fictional character to start with?

After all, this is not the afterlife, and everyone will not like this kind of protagonist too much.

"Maybe it would be more appropriate to replace Qin Shi Huang Yingzheng as a proton from Zhao State to Qin State to succeed to the throne, just in the right timeline, it can last for more than thirty years!"

He Yun muttered in a low voice, and he had already made a decision in his heart.

As the opening masterpiece, choosing Qin Shi Huang, the first emperor of the ages, as the protagonist is undoubtedly the best choice, after all, people are famous and have many fans.

And most importantly, this kind of historical masterpieces, especially those of the first emperor through the ages, are almost impossible to see in the current literary circle.

In this way, there is a sense of freshness, and naturally more people watch it.

"Calculate the time, it's only half a month before the final exam, during this time, I will sort out the materials, write a preliminary outline, and then ......"

"Wait! I almost forgot, what about this "The Legend of the Yue Female Swordsman" written by Nizi? How do I get back to her? ”

Suddenly, He Yun realized a problem.

What should I do with the novel written by Li Yan in my hand.

Is it to help her continue to revise?

Or is it just a perfunctory sentence?

For a moment, he couldn't make up his mind......
