Back to 1997, I became the originator of online literature

Chapter 156 is based on the future global hit movie
Cao Sheng was on the train, racking his brain over how to create a dozen or so alien races with distinct characteristics.

In Huizhou, a fierce quarrel is taking place in Huang Qingya's home.

At first, it was just her elder brother Huang Qingfeng questioning her, but Huang Qingfeng's tone was too strong, and Huang Qingya soon started arguing with him.

The quarrel soon attracted their parents, sister-in-law, younger brother, younger sister-in-law and others.

At first, these people stood on Huang Qingya's side and thought that Huang Qingfeng was bullying his sister.

When they found out that Huang Qingya had found a 19-year-old boyfriend and their passionate kissing photos were reported in the news, the photos in the newspaper made it impossible for Huang Qingya to deny it.

Everyone started to stand on Huang Qingfeng's side and began to persuade Huang Qingya.

But Huang Qingya didn't listen to them.

The scene gradually became noisy again.

The scene was very chaotic for a while. When the argument reached its most intense, Huang Qingya's father staggered and suddenly fainted on the ground, which ended the quarrel.

The family hurriedly rushed the old man to the hospital.

……

Cao Sheng had no idea what was happening with Huang Qingya.

After taking a train for several hours, he returned to his courtyard in Huizhou.

After several hours on the train without sleep, he felt a little tired, so he took a shower and went upstairs to rest.

When I woke up, it was already dark outside the window.

He went downstairs, washed his face, and cooked himself a bowl of noodles.

It was so late, and he was too lazy to go out and find something to eat.

Just when I was looking for noodles, I found a hole in the cupboard door that was gnawed by a mouse, and the rice in the cupboard showed signs of being eaten by the mouse.

He frowned.

After living here for a year, he found that although this yard was comfortable to live in, there were more and more mice. They used to just dig holes in the yard, but now they have started to gnaw on the doors of his cupboards.

How about getting a cat?
Forget it! It is said that men don’t keep cats and women don’t keep dogs. I’ll just buy some mouse paper later!

He didn't take it too seriously. He cooked the noodles and took them to the study on the second floor.

He pressed the computer start button and ate noodles while waiting for the computer to boot up, thinking about how to set the alien race.

The more I think about it, the bigger my head gets.

It is too difficult to create ten or twenty alien races out of thin air.

Moreover, readers may not like to see the male protagonist constantly fighting various aliens.

Especially for those readers who do not believe that there are aliens in this universe, this kind of novel may not give them a sense of immersion.

Then his thoughts began to wander.

I was thinking, if I don’t write about aliens, what else can I write about instead?

Humans in the inner world? Intelligent races in the ocean? Ancient humans flew out of the solar system and suddenly came back?

and many more.

All kinds of thoughts popped up in his mind.

But none of them could satisfy him.

Because these races also need him to set them one by one.

It is difficult, and the resulting effect may not be good, and readers may not buy it.

Then he thought of using the worlds of martial arts movies to replace the horror movie worlds in the book "Infinite Horror".

But this involves the issue of film copyright.

If he writes foreign horror movies like "Infinite Horror", because it involves the issue of cross-border prosecution, those film and television companies are out of reach and most likely will not sue him.

But if I write about martial arts movies, are there any martial arts movies abroad?
If I were to write, I'm afraid I can only write about martial arts movies from Hong Kong and the mainland, and mainly martial arts movies from Hong Kong.

For example, the works of Jin Yong and Gu Long.

The works of these two masters are well-known enough, especially their classic works such as "Swordsman", "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils", "The Flying Dagger of Xiao Li", "The Legend of Chu Liuxiang" and so on.

but……

Master Jin is well-known for his aversion to others adapting his works. Even if a film or television company shoots his works, he is very disgusted if the director does not follow the original work.

Not to mention directly infringing the copyright of his work with text.

As Cao Sheng recalled, Master Jin once sued Jiang Nan for writing "The Young Man Here" because the names of the main characters in the book were either Qiao Feng or Murong Fu or something like that.

It is clearly a modern story, but many characters from Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils are used.

As a result, Master Jin won the case and Jiangnan paid 188 million.

Therefore, Cao Sheng did not dare to use Master Jin's works as the background world of his infinite flow works.

He is no longer an unknown person.

If he dared to write like this, it would not take long before Master Jin would bring him to the dock in court.

I only write Gu Long's works...

Or add Huang Yi's works.

It feels incomplete.

Because of the martial arts in the readers' minds, Master Jin's works must have a place.

Moreover, in terms of film and television adaptations, the works of Gu Long and Huang Yi are not as popular as the works of Master Jin, and readers' sense of immersion is not very good.

After finishing a bowl of noodles, Cao Sheng still hadn't figured out what to do next.

He looked at the computer screen in front of him.

Keep using your imagination.

copyright……

When writing infinite flow works, it seems that the biggest obstacle is the copyright of various film and television works. Writing about foreign movies can help you avoid being sued by copyright companies with a high probability, but it also limits the copyright development of your own work.

No film or television company would dare to adapt his infinite flow works into film or television dramas, or games.

I can only earn some royalties. Spend money to buy the adaptation rights of those film and television works?

Don't be ridiculous! Most of his money has been turned into houses recently. How can he have so much money?
What's more, he wanted to use the copyrights of popular movies. Which copyright of these movies is cheaper?

In order to write a novel, would you spend so much money to buy the adaptation rights of more than a dozen popular movies? Which novel writer would dare to do this?
If you really do this, it would be like being paid to write a novel.

It can make people laugh so hard that their teeth fall out.

Suddenly, he had an idea and thought of a way to do it that would not involve other people's copyrights.

—With movies that haven’t even come out yet!

For example: "A Man's Martial Arts" which is common in infinite flow.

For example, the first and second Ip Man movies.

For example, "Infernal Affairs".

and many more.

These movies haven't been released yet. If he writes them now, the person who will be involved in copyright issues will not be Cao Sheng.

If you think more divergently, you can also use some foreign movies that have not yet been released, such as: "The Hunger Games", "Rise of the Planet of the Apes", "Ong Bak", "Twilight", "Avatar", "Transformers", "Iron Man", etc.

Thinking of this, he got a little excited.

I feel like this is a good idea.

But we still need to check these works carefully, which ones have been released? Which ones are adapted from comics or novels that have already been created and published?

If there is any copyright dispute, it will not be used at all.

But the popular film and television works in the world over the next twenty years or so, even if we exclude those original novels or comics that have already been published, the remaining works are definitely enough for him to write an infinite flow novel.

As for whether his actions will block the way for those film and television companies?

Are you kidding! He is not a shareholder or boss of those film and television companies. Is that a problem he needs to consider?

If they want to shoot, they have to pay the copyright fee!

Don’t these capitalists all like to say: Any problem that can be solved with money is not a problem?

Then they solve it with money!
As for, is it a waste to use so many popular works as the background for writing a novel?
Funny! It's not Cao Sheng's movie that's being wasted.

He doesn't have the ability to make all these hit movies.

He just uses it once, and it won't cause pregnancy.

Maybe after his novel introduces these movies, when these movies are actually filmed and released, the box office will be even better!
What is there to say?

Take the way of others and leave others nowhere to go.

Anyway, the one who will have a headache in the future will not be him, Cao.

This is enough!

Imagine this: in the future, when people gradually discover that the magical worlds set in his infinite flow novel are gradually brought to the big screen by film companies around the world, how great will the shock it brings to the world?
only……

There are also disadvantages to doing this.

The biggest drawback is that he used these movies that have not yet been released as the story background. In the eyes of readers, these background worlds are original story backgrounds.

It will definitely cause some reading difficulties for readers.

This will lead to the fact that the popularity of this work may not be too high, at least its popularity in the early stages will be a bit difficult to improve.

However, as long as he can explain the background of the world clearly and readers have the patience to read the entire plot of a story background, these readers' evaluation of his book will probably rise to the level of a masterpiece.

in his memory.

There are precedents for infinite flow works like this.

There was also an original story background written by the author.

And he, Cao Sheng, is actually not the real original story background.

He had those popular movies that had not yet been released in his memory as templates for reference, which made writing much easier.

It just requires him to spend a little more time to recall the main plots of those popular works, and this is the most challenging part for him.

But he has the patience.

If you want to write a masterpiece in the eyes of readers, how can you do it without putting in some effort?

Anyway, there is still at least half a year before the release of "Gantz", and half a year is enough for him to complete all the preliminary preparations.

"Let's start with "One Man's Martial Arts World"!"

Sitting in front of the computer, he talked to himself, smiled, created a new blank document on the computer, and recorded the plot of the movie while recalling.

While writing, he was still thinking: Maybe I can try to restore the script of this movie, and then submit it to a Hong Kong film company, and earn some script fees.

In addition to this movie, we can also try to produce other movie scripts that will be used and then submit them to major film and television companies.

Not only can they earn script fees, but they can also allow audiences to see these movies earlier.

After the audience finishes watching these movies, they will definitely have a better experience when they go back and read his infinite flow novel.

As for why he chose to write "One Man's Martial Arts World" first?
Very simple!
Because the main plot of this movie is simple enough, it is about a martial arts fanatic named Feng Yuxiu, who in modern society actually imitates those martial artists in ancient times and challenges the best in various fields of the martial arts world. For example, he wants to challenge the best boxing master, the best leg skills master, the best grappling master, etc.

Moreover, every time he went to challenge, he would declare in advance: it was to determine the winner and the loser, as well as life and death.

The plot was simple enough that Cao Sheng remembered it. He was confident that he could recall the main plot of the movie tonight.

Such a simple plot is also easy to explain to readers when writing a novel.

One man's martial arts world...

Compete with the heroes of the world.

In modern society, this kind of competition that determines the winner and the loser, as well as life and death, was doomed to tragedy for Feng Yuxiu from the very beginning.

And this story was once a masterpiece in the minds of countless kung fu movie fans.

It is also a story background commonly used in many infinite flow novels.

It's very touching.
