Back to 1997, I became the originator of online literature

Chapter 155: Intercepting "Gantz"?
When the news is widely reported and hyped.

Cao Sheng has returned to his hometown.

This time he came back with a laptop, which was fine for typing and updating manuscripts every day, but it was not very convenient for him to surf the Internet.

Not only is wireless Internet access expensive, but the speed is also slow, and many web pages have to be cached for a long time before they can be opened.

So during the few days he was at home, apart from typing and updating manuscripts, he basically didn't touch the computer.

I am not aware of the rumors about him on the Internet.

But Huang Qingya's elder brother Huang Qingfeng, who was far away in Huizhou, saw the news and photos of Cao Sheng kissing his sister Huang Qingya.

In the photo, Cao Sheng's face is quite clear, while Huang Qingya's face is a little blurry. It is difficult for outsiders to judge who the woman kissing Cao Sheng is based on this photo.

But is Huang Qingfeng an outsider?

He is Huang Qingya's elder brother and is very familiar with Huang Qingya.

When the secretary showed him the news, he immediately recognized the woman in the photo as his sister.

He was quite happy at first.

I feel that my arrogant sister has finally found love, and the iron tree has finally blossomed. The worry of the whole family may finally be resolved.

When he learned about Cao Sheng's identity from the news, especially Cao Sheng's age - a 19-year-old sophomore.

His old face suddenly turned as black as the bottom of a pot.

He immediately stood up, called his secretary and driver, and went home!

……

a few days later.

Cao Sheng was on the train back to Huizhou.

He found that he could no longer stay in his hometown.

Many relatives heard that he sold the copyright of a novel for one million yuan. Within two days of his return home, several groups of people came to borrow money.

Some people said they wanted to start a business but lacked capital, so they asked him to borrow money; some said they wanted to build a house but did not have enough money, so they asked him to borrow money; some said they had been suffering from back pain for several years and wanted to borrow some money from him to see a doctor.

He was exhausted from coping and stayed in his hometown for only five days before leaving.

In fact, he really wanted to stay in his hometown for a longer period of time.

Sitting on the bed in the sleeper car, he took out "The Investiture of the Gods" and started flipping through it. He had already read this book twice.

But every time he watched it, he could occasionally remember some of the settings and plots of the Honghuang works.

So, when he has nothing to do recently, he still flips through it.

He plans to start building the outline of his next book, "Hong Huang Romance", bit by bit when he returns to Huizhou this time. He will also take advantage of this summer vacation to look up the necessary information.

However, after reading in a shaking carriage, my eyes couldn’t bear it for long.

He simply put the book down, leaned against the head of the bed and closed his eyes.

The swaying carriage made him sleepy little by little, but his mind was still wandering involuntarily. Just when he was about to fall asleep, he suddenly thought of the representative work of the infinite genre - "Infinite Horror".

Because he remembered that at the beginning of the story of "Infinite Horror", the protagonist Zheng Zha woke up in a train car, and the train was heading to the headquarters of the Umbrella Corporation, which had become a dead end.

Before writing this book, the author of this book, Mr. Z, was an unknown person. In today's terms, he was just a little Karami.

But after the book was published, its popularity grew alarmingly. It was like a killer of gods and Buddhas. With the witness of countless readers and authors, it really was a "killing gods to prove the truth" performance.

The new works of veteran authors, great writers, and even top writers who released new books at the same time were all trampled under the feet of this book.

Before this book was finished, Z's godhood had already been condensed.

He is a typical representative of killing gods to prove his truth.

He is known as the founder of Infinite Flow.

Since then, countless authors in the industry have wanted to emulate him in killing gods and proving their truth.

Many authors who have achieved some success on other sites want to come to Qidian to kill gods, so Qidian has gradually been hailed as a holy place for killing gods and proving the truth.

An author who has not proved his faith by killing gods on Qidian will never be able to gain recognition of his divinity in the industry.

Therefore, infinite flow is the subject that Cao Sheng has always wanted to write about after his rebirth.

This type of subject matter has a strong appeal to readers who are reading the infinite flow for the first time, and it is easy to gather die-hard fans. As time goes by, many readers may have forgotten the plot of this book, but it is difficult for them to forget the shock they felt when they first read the book.

However, before today, Cao Sheng was not in a hurry to write this book.

Because he vaguely remembered that this book was published around 08.

It's still early, there's no need to rush to write it.

The main reason is that the domestic Internet is not well developed, the speed is not fast enough, and there are not enough netizens. Some of the classic horror movies mentioned in the book "Infinite Horror" have not been watched by too few netizens, such as "Resident Evil", "The Grudge", "Alien", "Final Destination", etc.

If readers have not watched these movies before, and suddenly watch "Infinite Horror", their sense of immersion will be much worse.

After a few years, when the number of Internet users has exploded and more and more people have watched these horror movies, when he writes "Infinite Horror" again, the reading experience for readers will be much better, and the shock it brings to readers will also be stronger.

As he was thinking, Cao Sheng, who was about to fall asleep, suddenly opened his eyes.

His brows furrowed, and his sleepiness disappeared instantly.

Because he suddenly remembered something.

——In the original time and space, after "Infinite Horror" became popular, many readers said that this book pioneered the infinite flow and was the originator of the infinite flow. However, there has always been a group of people who refuted that the Japanese manga "Gantz" was the originator of the infinite flow. "Gantz" began serialization in 2000, much earlier than "Infinite Horror".

Cao Sheng had seen such statements more than once before.

Out of curiosity, he also learned about the story of "Gantz". It seemed that some people appeared in a mysterious room after death, and there was a black ball in the room.

This black ball constantly issues tasks to those who have died in reality, asking them to kill aliens.

Weapons and various rewards can also be distributed to these people.

In terms of setting, it is indeed very similar to the main god space of "Infinite Horror".

The difference is: "Gantz" makes people kill aliens, and the purpose seems to be to train earthlings to fight against the impending alien invasion in the real world.

"Infinite Horror" takes people on an adventure into the world of horror movies. If they die, they disappear completely. Only by winning can they stay alive and become stronger and stronger. The theme is to feel the meaning of life in the desperate situations of being on the verge of death again and again.

“Gantz…started serializing in 2000?”

Cao Sheng whispered to himself.

Suddenly thinking of this comic book, he felt a little uncomfortable.

Because this means that if he doesn't write the infinite flow before "Gantz" comes out, the doubts faced by the original time and space Z will also fall on him, Cao Sheng.

At that time, there will be a group of people saying that he, Cao Sheng, is the originator of the infinite flow.

There will also be a group of people who will jump out to refute that "Gantz" is the originator of the infinite flow.

He will be mocked for borrowing from "Gantz".

He was even accused of plagiarizing "Gantz".

Cao Sheng lowered his head and looked at the "Fengshen Yanyi" at hand.

According to his previous plan, the next book was "Honghuang Romance", a Honghuang-style work.

If at this time, he suddenly advanced the plan to write the infinite flow, he could only postpone the plan to write the prehistoric flow.

Should I write infinite streams in advance?

Now is not the best time to write "Infinite Horror"!
As for the horror movies mentioned in "Infinite Horror", many readers in China who like to read novels have not yet seen them!
It would be easy to end up with a half-baked mess if you were to write Infinite Horror right now.

Even if it’s half-cooked, you still have to eat it?
This line from a movie flashed through his mind.

But he really didn't want to write "Infinite Horror" this year.

It’s too early to write this book now!
that……

Do you want to steal the show from "Gantz"? Write the idea of ​​"Gantz" in advance?

Use the main god space of "Infinite Horror" to issue tasks and let a group of humans fight the aliens one after another?

If written like this, this book might even be made into a science fiction movie in the future.

The more he thought about it, the more feasible it became.

Anyway, as far as I remember, "Gantz" will not begin serialization until next year. If he wrote it in advance, there would be no question of him plagiarizing "Gantz".

Just like the heroine of his book "Living with a Flight Attendant" died before the heroine of "First Contact", no one would say that he plagiarized the plot of "First Contact".

A few years later, when he wrote "Infinite Horror", it gave people the feeling that he had opened up a new way of writing infinite flow.

But he has not read the "Gantz" comics.

He also doesn't have the habit of reading comics.

So, if he really wanted to write it, he would need to create several alien races himself.

An alien race that corresponds to a horror movie world in Infinite Terror.

Maybe a few alien races aren't enough.

It might be necessary to set up a dozen or so alien races to write a sufficiently exciting infinite flow work.

Because one of the main characteristics of infinite flow works is that the rhythm is brisk and the killing is decisive, and it cannot be dragged out.

This kind of writing requires constantly changing different types of opponents.

For example: After the first alien race appears, use twenty to thirty chapters to write this plot, then quickly introduce the second alien race, and then finish writing it in about thirty chapters before introducing the third alien race.

This gives you the feeling of infinite flow.

Otherwise, if you write one or two hundred chapters about an alien race, the readers will feel that the villain of the book is the aliens of this race, and the main plot is the confrontation between the protagonist team and this alien race.

Can this still be called infinite flow?

only……

The thought of setting up a dozen or so alien races made Cao Sheng feel a little overwhelmed.

Because if you set it up randomly, the aliens you write about will not be realistic enough, and the readers’ sense of immersion will be poor.

If you set it up carefully, it would take a long time to think about the settings of each of the so many alien races.

For example, what kind of planetary environment would cause this alien to have green skin? No hair on the head? Great strength? Or very fast speed? And so on.

All of this requires logic.

We cannot randomly set up an alien race that is highly intelligent, has a very advanced level of technological development, and has very strong individual power. That is unscientific!
Because the aliens are very intelligent and have very advanced technology, it stands to reason that their individual power would not be very strong, because intelligent races are accustomed to using wisdom to solve problems, and their pursuit of individual power will be relatively weak.

Of course, you can say that maybe such aliens really exist in the universe, after all, the universe is so big.

But most readers will not agree with such a setting.

If readers don’t agree with this setting, then your setting will be a failure.
