Back to 1997, I became the originator of online literature

Chapter 187 Outline Completed, First Trailer Released
On the first day of voting, "God's Tomb" received more than 3,000 votes.

The second place went to Jin Hezai's new book "The Legend of Wukong", which received more than 900 votes.
The third place is Li Xunhuan's "Under the Fairy Sky" with more than 600 votes.

On the second day of voting, the number of votes for "Shenmu" rose to more than 5,000.

"The Legend of Sun Wukong" is still in second place, with over 1,500 votes.

Day three, day four...

As time goes by, the gap between the votes of "Shenmu" and other works is getting bigger and bigger.

For a moment, not only the other authors were speechless, but also the editors under the banyan tree were speechless.

A work that was not included in the award has a huge lead in votes. How can other authors have the face to compete for this grand prize?

There was no way. On the fifth day, the voting button for "God's Tomb" was closed under the banyan tree.

This move drew protests from many readers.

But the banyan tree pretended not to see the protest.

In order to save face for other authors, "Shenmu" had to close the voting function.

But soon, someone noticed that the number of votes for "I Want to Become an Immortal" was increasing rapidly, and its ranking in the voting list was rising rapidly.

It seems that those readers who originally wanted to vote for "God's Tomb" cast their votes for "I Want to Become an Immortal" after finding out that "God's Tomb" could not be voted for.

This time the response under the banyan tree was quick.

Before "I Want to Become an Immortal" made it into the top ten of the voting list, the voting function of this book was closed in time, and the voting function of another book by Cao Sheng, "The Days of Living with a Flight Attendant", was also closed.

Cao Sheng's fans were very depressed.

Cao Sheng naturally saw the book fans' behavior.

He kind of wanted to recommend that everyone vote for Huang Qingya's "The Little Woman in the Sword Sect".

Although the protagonist of this book is a woman, she is not very popular under the banyan tree and her presence is not strong.

But he felt that if he published a single chapter and asked everyone to vote for this book, maybe he could get her book into the top ten.

But he finally gave up the idea.

She was worried that this would attract the attention of her elder brother and others, who would discover that they had not really broken up.

He himself is indifferent.

But she will be under a lot of pressure.

For the next few days, he no longer paid attention to online voting.

There is no rush to set up an Internet cafe.

He originally invested in the Internet cafe just to cope with his internship.

After spending so much time in college, I finally need to get a diploma.

Without an internship certificate, it would be against the rules even if the school wanted to give him a diploma.

He devoted more energy to writing the outline of his new book.

He has adjusted the plot of this outline several times during this period.

Mainly it is about the movie world involved, in the order in which it is presented in the outline.

He didn’t change the first movie world and always chose "A Man’s Martial Arts".

For the second movie world, he originally wanted to write the Ip Man series, because there are several films in the Ip Man series, and the main plot of each film is very simple, all of which are love stories + Ip Man fighting elite monsters + Ip Man fighting big bosses.

For example, in the first part, it is a love story between husband and wife, the elite monsters are Master Liao and Jinshan Zhao, and the big boss is a Japanese officer.

In the second part, there are emotional dramas between master and apprentice and husband and wife. The elite monster is the Hung Gar master Hong Zhennan, and the big boss is the foreign master Tornado.

and many more.

Such a story background is easy to introduce to readers.

Readers can easily immerse themselves in the story.

But when Cao Sheng thought about the background of this series of movies, there might not be much problem when writing the novel. But if he wanted to adapt it into a film or TV series in the future, the descendants of Ip Man might jump out and cause trouble.

In addition, after the release of the original time and space series of movies, many people on the Internet compared the historical Ip Man with the "Ip Man" in the movie and found fault with him.

So, after careful consideration, he decided to abandon the Ip Man series.

Even though he has restored the scripts of these movies.

Which movie should be chosen as the second movie universe?
He considered several films.

Such as "Infernal Affairs", "The Hunger Games", "World War Z", "Twilight", and even "Avatar" was considered.

Choosing "Infernal Affairs" allows the reincarnation team, including the protagonist, to save the protagonist of "Infernal Affairs", Chen Yongren.

Other tasks can also be arranged.

If you choose "The Hunger Games", you can directly let the Reincarnation Team participate in the fight, and the main task can be set as: survive to the end.

If you choose World War Z, the main mission can be to save a certain character or to survive for a certain period of time.

If you choose "Twilight", you can give readers a sense of novelty in the setting of the story background, because this series of movies not only has vampires, but also werewolves.

Choosing "Avatar" can also bring novelty to readers in terms of setting, allowing readers to experience the magic of the alien continent.

And recently, he chose "The Buddha's Thread", also known as "Ong Bak", as his second film world.

He checked online and found that the movie had not been released yet.

But according to his memory, this movie came out quite a while ago and might be released soon, so if he wants to write about this movie, he needs to do it as soon as possible.

As long as the movie has not been released yet, he will write the plot of the movie in his work first. By then, even if he has to go to court, he will be invincible.

Unless this movie has an original novel that was published earlier. But for this kind of Kung Fu movie, he felt that there should be no original novel, and he couldn't find it when searching online.

The most important thing is that after the protagonist and others have gone through the movie world of "A Man's Martial Arts", their strength has improved, but the improvement is still limited. If they are suddenly thrown into a world that is too dangerous, I am afraid that no one will survive.

In comparison, the world of Ong-Bak is set in a modern society, similar to that of A Man's Martial Arts.

Similarly, martial arts cannot defeat guns and cannons.

But there are many exciting fighting scenes in the movie "Ong Bak", as well as funny plots, which are suitable for the protagonist to show off.

He hesitated for a long time between this movie and "Infernal Affairs".

Finally, I still feel that the plot of "Infernal Affairs" is a bit complicated and not easy to explain clearly to readers. Moreover, the action scenes in this movie are almost all gun battles, and there is not much room for kung fu to be used.

……

For the third movie world, he chose The Hunger Games.

The fourth movie I chose was "Twilight".

The fifth one I chose was "The Legend of Zu".

The sixth film is tentatively titled "Rise of the Planet of the Apes".

The seventh one is Pacific Rim

……

I have been preparing the outline of this book for some time.

Although he often adjusted the background story and the order of appearance in the outline during this period, he had already written out the general plots of the dozen or so movies he wanted to use.

For some films, he has even written scripts.

For example, the "Ip Man" series.

By the end of November, he finally completed the outline of his new book.

In early December, the detailed outlines of the first three volumes were also produced.

For this new book, he intends to divide each movie world into one volume.

Tentatively twelve volumes.

The total word count is expected to be between 150 million and 200 million.

I didn't intend to write too long.

He estimated that with such a frequent change of story background, many readers would not be able to continue reading by the time the twelfth movie world was written, as it was too brain-burning.

Although about half of these twelve movie worlds are movie series, readers still need to use a lot of brain cells when reading them.

If you just want to publish and earn royalties, writing this kind of work is a thankless task.

He estimated that the sales of this book would probably be much lower than those of "I Want to Become an Immortal" and "God's Tomb".

The reading threshold is there, which will discourage many readers.

Works that belong to the niche category.

But if niche works are well written, they can accumulate a group of die-hard fans.

It’s not just talk that a niche group of people will produce loyal fans.

With a group of loyal fans supporting him, it will be difficult for his future books to fail.

What is more important is the adaptation value of this book.

The three books he wrote before, except for "The Days of Living with a Flight Attendant", "I Want to Become an Immortal" and "God's Tomb" are actually only suitable for adaptation into games. If they are adapted into film and television dramas, either the special effects costs will overwhelm a film and television company, or they will be filmed with 50-cent special effects, and then they will be scolded by the fans of the original works!

The infinite flow work he is planning to write is not only suitable for adaptation into an online game, but is also very friendly to film and television adaptation. Although some of the movie worlds involved in the book are difficult to shoot, some are relatively easy to shoot.

For example, "A Man's Martial Arts" has already been completed and post-production has recently been completed.

The script fee alone can completely make up for the royalties he earned less from the publication of his works.

Do not!
Not make up!

But the big head!

He hadn't written a single word of the new book yet! The script fee for the drama "One Man's Martial Arts" had already earned him half a million yuan.

How much would you make if you could sell two or three more scripts?

If "A Man's Martial Arts" does well at the box office after its release, the other movie scripts mentioned in this new book should be able to sell for a higher price.

When Cao Sheng finished the detailed outline of the first three volumes of the new book, "One Man's Martial Arts World" began to release the first trailer on TV and the Internet.

Once released, it attracted the attention of countless people inside and outside the film and television industry.

This movie really has too many gimmicks.

From the moment the film launch conference was held, it attracted the attention of countless people from both sides of the Taiwan Strait and Hong Kong and Macao.

Whether they are fans of the book "A Little Gray of Central Plains", or fans of Xu Ke, Yuan Heping, Hong Jinbao, Zhen Zixuan, Yuan Biao and others, or authors of novels, screenwriters, directors and actors in the film and television industry, they are all curious about what kind of movie this is.
What is the quality of the script written by Zhongyuan Yidianhui, who is known as the "first emerging writer", for his first cross-border writing?
What kind of effect can this super luxurious lineup of a genius writer + a talented director + the world's number one martial arts director + Hong Jinbao, Zhen Zixuan... and others produce?
Is it a martial arts film like those by Jin Yong and Gu Long?
Or is it a fairy-tale film like "I Want to Become a Fairy" or "God's Tomb"?
Many people who originally had no interest in kung fu movies are paying attention to this movie.

And today, the film finally released its first trailer.

Fortunately, those who watched this trailer on TV finished watching it quickly.

For those who watched the trailer online, the video would freeze every few seconds or tens of seconds, and would need to be cached for a while before they could see more of the picture.

This made some netizens so anxious that they scratched their heads and wished they could smash their computers!

The internet speed is really too slow these days.
