Back to 1997, I became the originator of online literature

Chapter 163: "God's Tomb" is released in mainland China

"The character Feng Yuxiu..."

Cao Sheng pondered for a moment and said, "This role is not easy to find. He needs to be able to play the role of a martial arts fanatic, have a good foundation in martial arts, and also be able to play the role of a ruthless person. I can't think of a suitable candidate. I suggest you consider Zou Yilong or Qian Xiaohao. Well, Zhao Wenzhuo is also worth considering."

In Cao Sheng's memory, Zhao Wenzhuo rarely played villain roles.

I did play that role when I first debuted, but as time went on, I played villains less and less.

Therefore, he estimated that Zhao Wenzhuo was unlikely to be willing to play a role like Feng Yuxiu.

But the ruthlessness displayed by Zhao Wenzhuo in "The Blade" is indeed suitable for the role of Feng Yuxiu.

He talked with Huang Baiming for almost half an hour on the phone.

The two discussed many issues regarding the script.

Huang Baiming raised some information in the script that he was not sure about one by one and asked the screenwriter Cao Sheng about it.

At the end of the call, Huang Baiming half-jokingly said, "Mr. Cao! You are such a good script writer. It's a pity that you only write novels. I think you can focus on writing scripts. You can consider my suggestion carefully."

Cao Sheng said he would consider it.

Actually, I didn’t take it to heart.

He knows whether he is suitable for writing scripts.

The scripts he could come up with were probably only those movies that would be used in his next infinite flow novel.

But many of them are European and American movies.

Even if he wrote it, he might not be able to find a suitable company to shoot it.

His favorite thing is to write online articles.

He had long wanted to delve deeply into the field that he was familiar with.

……

Hong Kong.

After finishing the call with Cao Sheng, Huang Baiming realized that the coffee in his hand had already gone cold. He hadn't thought of drinking it when he was reading the script, and he hadn't thought of drinking it when he called Cao Sheng to discuss the script just now.

He couldn't help but laugh.

Putting down the coffee cup, he thought for a moment and called Hong Jinbao who was far away in the United States.

Cao Sheng said that Hong Jinbao was suitable to play Xiahou Wu, and he also felt that he was suitable.

Moreover, Zou Yilong, who was recommended by Cao Sheng, was Hong Jinbao's apprentice. By contacting Hong Jinbao, they could easily invite Zou Yilong to come for an audition.

What Cao Sheng didn’t know was that Zou Yilong also went to the United States to develop his career this year, and he had just been there not long ago.

When Zou Yilong received the call from Hong Jinbao, he was completely stunned.

He was called to the United States by his master Hong Jinbao to develop.

He just came here and hasn't gotten familiar with the place yet. He hasn't even filmed a single movie here, and his master is already calling him back to Hong Kong for an audition?

So, why did I come to the United States?
Just to come here and take a look?
He was not willing to go back like this.

How can you come to Hollywood like this? Just arrived, and you want to go back before you can make progress? If this gets out, how can he save face? People who don't know him would think that he has no chance of making it in Hollywood!
but……

After reading the script sent by Hong Jinbao, he hesitated.

"A Man's Martial Arts" lets me audition for the role of Feng Yuxiu?

This role seems to be very exciting, competing with all the heroes in the world? All the fighting scenes in the whole play are initiated by my character?
wrong!

Xiahou Wu also started a fight scene. In order to meet the senior police officers, Xiahou Wu deliberately challenged a group of inmates.

……

The preparation of the film has nothing to do with Cao Sheng.

What concerns him is the script signing.

He and Huang Baiming had already discussed the script fee on the phone last night.

--50.

This price is already high in the current Chinese film and television industry.

After all, many movies these days only have a total box office of a few hundred thousand or a few million, and those that can gross tens of millions are already considered a hit.

Kung Fu movies, in particular, have been increasingly weak in recent years, otherwise kung fu actors like Hong Jinbao and Zou Yaolong would not have flocked to the United States to develop their careers.

However, in addition to the 50 yuan screenwriter fee, Cao Sheng also retained his own adaptation rights.

Otherwise, when he starts writing his own infinite flow novel, he won’t be able to write this movie, which would be a big joke.

This afternoon.

Cao Sheng received an electronic contract from Oriental Film Company.

After reading it, he felt that there was no problem, so he went out to find a printing room, printed out the contract, signed it, put his fingerprints on it, and then mailed it to the delivery address provided by the other party.

Once the other party receives the contract, he will receive the screenwriting fee.

The next book has not been written yet, but the movie script used in the book has sold for 50, which makes him feel pretty good. In the next few days, he spent his free time looking up information about various cars on the Internet. He plans to buy a car as soon as the screenwriter's fee arrives.

He likes SUVs, but decent SUVs are generally very expensive these days.

He couldn't make up his mind for a moment.

……

Just when Cao Sheng was worrying about what car to buy.

Huang Shuren, who was far away in Xi'an, finally got Cao Sheng's final exam transcript...photo.

He got this by specifically paying a reporter to go to Huizhou and bribe Cao Sheng's teacher.

Looking at the photo and Cao Sheng's transcript, Huang Shuren couldn't believe his eyes. He saw that all his subjects scored over 80 points, except for one subject which was over 70.

I subconsciously took off my reading glasses, rubbed my eyes, and put them back on to look again.

The score on the photo is still the same.

He was numb.

His eyes were fixed.

He spent thousands of dollars in total, and what did he buy?
Is this Cao Sheng’s dirty laundry?
Where in the world can there be such dirty secrets?
If such a score were reported, what effect would it have other than making Cao Sheng famous?
He suspected that the reporter he found had made a fake report to fool him, and that the money he gave was all swallowed up by the reporter.

So, he angrily called the reporter to question him.

But it was useless. This phone call served no other purpose except to vent his anger.

The money given out cannot be taken back.

……

Two days later.

This is a very important day for Cao Sheng’s mainland fans.

Because on this day, the simplified Chinese version of Cao Sheng’s new book "Shenmu" published in the mainland was officially launched.

At the end of July, the last two volumes of Cao Sheng's simplified Chinese book "I Want to Become an Immortal" were published.

It is now early August.

The new book "God's Tomb" has finally been released and met with readers amid the anticipation of countless readers in the mainland.

Moreover, two volumes are published at a time. Since the number of characters in the simplified Chinese version is more than twice that of the traditional Chinese version, once these two volumes are published, they will almost catch up with the publishing progress in Taiwan.

It has great appeal to book lovers.

Because the online serialization speed of "God's Tomb" is currently very slow, with only one chapter updated every two days, many book fans have expressed that they have waited so long that the flowers have wilted.

Under such circumstances, the homepage of Under the Banyan Tree suddenly announced that the first and second volumes of the simplified Chinese version of "Shenmu" were on the market at the same time and available in major bookstores.

How can some book lovers who are not short of money resist?
The fast-paced writing of "God's Tomb" is more attractive to book fans than the previous "I Want to Become an Immortal".

Everyone originally thought that "I Want to Become an Immortal" was exciting enough, but they didn't expect that "God's Tomb" could be even more exciting. The feeling of excitement is exactly the same as the lyrics of "Sad Pacific". Before one wave of excitement subsides, another wave comes to attack.

Many readers were so excited that they wanted to finish the whole book in one go.

What makes some readers a little regretful is that Changjiang Literature and Art did not arrange a signing event for Cao Sheng this time, at least no signing plans have been announced yet.

In response, Changjiang Literature and Art told Cao Sheng: "Your current fame is high enough, so you don't need to promote it too hard. The early sales of this book will not be bad. We plan to sell it for a while, and when the sales growth trend slows down, we will arrange a book signing for you to stimulate sales."

After hearing this, Cao Sheng only made one suggestion: "Okay! However, if you plan to arrange a book signing event for me in the near future, I hope that the time of the book signing event can be arranged before my school starts, otherwise I will have to ask for leave again, right?"

There was silence on the other side of the phone.

I seemed to have just remembered that he was still a student.

After a few seconds of silence, the other party finally agreed.

……

The night when the simplified Chinese version of "Shenmu" was released in mainland China.

After Cao Sheng finished writing two chapters of the manuscript, he could not help but climb up under the banyan tree and come to the book review section of "God's Tomb", wanting to see what mainland book fans think of the two volumes of "God's Tomb".

Before, mainland book fans could only see the plot that he serialized online, and their reviews were only about that plot.

But the reputation of the subsequent plot should be known by now.

As he expected, the book review section of "God's Tomb" was very lively tonight, with hundreds more posts than yesterday.

The book review section he glanced at was like this:
"Great! I just finished reading both volumes. It's much better than going online every day to see if there are any updates! Here, only one chapter is updated every two days, which is not enough to fill my stomach!"

"What does it mean to 'after a long drought, there is only one drop of sweet dew'? That's what it feels like to wait for updates here! It's still more fun to read a physical book! I read it while lying on the bed, which is much more comfortable than sitting in front of the computer! I suggest friends who haven't bought it yet to buy it quickly! The later plot is really worth buying!"

"I finally saw the plot that my Taiwanese book friend said about the Shanhe Shejitu collecting those 100,000 evil spirits. I just want to say that Shanhe Shejitu is indeed worthy of being the magic weapon of Lady Nuwa! It's amazing! Even though it's tattered, it's still so awesome!"

"It's over! I've finished reading the two volumes that have just been published. There's nothing left. How am I going to live the rest of my life? Can anyone tell me how to live? When I think about having to wait a month to buy the next volume, I want to die! How could I forget to leave some?"

"Zhongyuan Yidianhui really didn't disappoint me. The quality of this new book is beyond reproach. I only have one question: How many days has it been since the protagonist walked out of the God's Tomb? The two volumes contain 30 words, but only about half a month has passed in the book. Is it possible to write a book like this? It's not possible that by the time the protagonist reaches the Mahayana stage, less than three months have passed in the book, right?"

"I think I understand why the author didn't classify this book as a fairy-tale. In these two books, the speed at which the protagonist cultivates not only astonishes the enemy, but also astonishes me. Is this cultivation? How can it be done this way? Others would spend years or even decades in seclusion in cultivation, but the protagonist has broken through several realms in succession while others are practicing a small spell! Is he in a hurry to reincarnate? So anxious?"
