Minglong Youth: Shared House with Cheng Yushan and Bian Xiaoxiao

If I go to school to type, I'm afraid of causing unnecessary trouble.

After much deliberation, Zhou Chen decided to do some live broadcast and write.

“Challenge to write 3,000 to 4,000 words in two hours! If you can’t finish, I will give you a lucky bag!”

So, Zhou Chen opened the Douyin account that he hadn’t used for a long time, entered the title, and started typing.

The reason why fantasy novels are exciting is that the worldview becomes more grand as the story progresses, and the foreshadowings that were laid previously can also jump out one by one, but this is a great torment for the author.

Zhou Chen turned on the computer and stared at the screen for a while, without a single word in his mind.

There was a plate of melon seeds next to the table. Zhou Chen started to eat them while thinking. When he felt thirsty, he poured himself a cup of tea. He didn't look like he was typing at all. He was just slacking off.

"My goodness, is this Dou Da himself?"

"Dou Da, it's been ten minutes and you've only typed ten words. Are you sure you're not slacking off?"

"I need to supervise Douda, there have been too few updates recently!"

As early as when Zhou Chen started broadcasting, many fans who followed Zhou Chen's Douyin all flocked in.

Last year, when Zhou Chen was at a gathering in Beijing, he did a live broadcast of his writing, which was quite popular at the time. But since then, he has not done a live broadcast again.

Recently, because he was busy filming a short drama, he could only update the novel once a day, and sometimes it was often discontinued. This made the readers angry, and they greeted Zhou Chen in the comment section every day.

Now, Zhou Chen actually started typing on the air, which made his fans feel fresh.

But after reading it for a while, he only typed a few words, and then it was deleted by Zhou Chen...

Zhou Chen's popularity has been booming recently. After only twenty minutes, the number of viewers in the live broadcast room reached 20,000, and more people are still coming in.

"When will Doupo be finished? I was pregnant when I watched it, and now my son can drink milk."

"Dou Da, half an hour has passed and you've only written 500 words. Is that the level?"

"Dou Da, I'm so bored. Can my sister-in-law play games? I want to play games with her..."

Although Zhou Chen didn't read the comments, the fans who poured in didn't mind and started to complain one after another. It turned out to be a very joyful chat.

Many people even made bets, guessing whether Zhou Chen could complete the goal of 3,000 words within two hours.

In such an atmosphere, Zhou Chen wrote and stopped, often deleting a lot. However, when there were five minutes left before the agreed time, Zhou Chen finally finished writing 3,000 words.

Then, without hesitation, he uploaded the three thousand words directly to the writer's backend.

"My dears, today's update is complete!"

Zhou Chen stretched lazily. Sitting for two hours was really not an easy job.

"One ounce of Astragalus, and I'll give the anchor a plane!"

"Tiancan Yudou, give the anchor a Ferris wheel!"

"I love eating grilled sausages, so I'm giving the anchor a carnival!"

However, in an instant, Zhou Chen's live broadcast room was suddenly flooded with gifts, and there were quite a few wealthy readers who gave him rewards one by one.

Along with it, there are their messages.

"Dou Da, it's only noon now, update another one!"

"Who are you trying to fool by updating 3,000 words? We still want more!"

"It's still early, let's update the next chapter!"

Well, this is because I failed to ask for updates in the book review section, so I ran to the live broadcast room to ask for updates online.

There's no way. In their opinion, it's only noon now, and there are still several hours before dark. With Zhou Chen's typing speed, it would be okay to add one more chapter, not to mention ten thousand chapters, right?

"My dears, no!"

Zhou Chen stretched his arms and said with a smile,

"I have classes this afternoon, and the final exam is coming up soon. I have to review, or I'll fail."

Yes, I have been busy filming short plays for the past two months, and the time for final review is coming soon. If I don’t review well, wouldn’t it be embarrassing to fail the final exam?

Of course, this is just Zhou Chen's excuse. He could have typed 3,000 words, so why did he type 6,000? It's very tiring, okay?

Now, he can make a lot of money just by performing short plays.

"Well, give everyone a lucky bag!"

Zhou Chen hesitated for a moment and explained,

"I don't have class tomorrow. Every morning, I will challenge myself to code 6,000 in two hours. I will code until I finish it!"

As soon as these words came out, the fans in the live broadcast room suddenly became excited.

"No problem, I'll supervise the coding tomorrow!"

"Oh my goodness, did I hear that right? There will be 6,000 new updates tomorrow!"

"Sit and wait!"

"I can't bear to read today's chapter, I'll wait for tomorrow's update to read it together!"

There is no way, Fights Break Sphere has become the spiritual food for many book lovers, and I feel uncomfortable if I don’t read it every day. Especially the plot is getting more and more exciting, and it is really tormenting to read the broken chapters.

Now, being able to watch Zhou Chen typing online and publishing his work as soon as he finishes typing seems to be quite good.

Zhou Chen chatted with fans for a while, answered some questions, and then turned off the broadcast.

Ding!

However, just as he lay down on the sofa, he heard a pop-up window on WeChat.

"Yi Yangmou, request to add you as a friend!"

"Yi Yangmou?"

Seeing this news, Zhou Chen couldn't help but be stunned.

If he remembered correctly, Yi Yangmou seemed to be a very famous director in the world and had won many awards.

Even some time ago, he seemed to have praised himself online.

But why would such a big director look for me?

Zhou Chen thought about it for a moment and clicked "Yes".

After all, he is a great director, and there might be a chance for us to work together in the future.

"Hello, Zhou Chen, I finally passed."

Soon, a message came from the other side:

"Zhou Chen, this is what I saw. I just watched your live broadcast. I think the novel "Battle Through the Heavens" has great IP value. I also want to give it a try. I have never filmed a fantasy drama before. I wonder if you have any idea of ​​cooperating with me?"

Yes, Yi Yangmou has recently watched all of Zhou Chen's short dramas one by one, and even read the latest chapters of the fantasy novel "Fights Break Sphere", which he had previously disdained.

Such a grand worldview directly refreshed his cognition and gave him a lot of inspiration.

Today, I happened to see Zhou Chen writing on live broadcast, and I had the idea of ​​cooperating with Zhou Chen.

Chapter 210 Script Contest Invitation

Will Fights Break Sphere be made into a TV series?

When Zhou Chen heard this, his brows furrowed and a helpless smile appeared on his face.

As an international director, he believes that director Yi Yangmou can shoot the unique grand scenes of fantasy novels. But in Zhou Chen's view, fantasy novels require not only background images and character movements, but also very demanding acting skills for everyone.

In his previous life, he had seen too many popular novels, but after being adapted into TV series, almost all of them received negative reviews.

Why is it that many directors pretend to know things when they don't, and they shoot fantasy novels as if they were martial arts novels with things like fighting spirit turning into horses, and they simply can't incorporate them into their films.

In Zhou Chen's opinion, Fights Break Sphere is most suitable for adaptation into an anime rather than a film or TV series.

"I'm sorry, Director, I don't plan to sell the copyright of my novel for the time being."

Zhou Chen directly rejected Yi Yangmou's proposal.

Now that he has shot so many short dramas, he is not short of money at all, and there is no need for him to sell the film and television rights of Fights Break Sphere.

“I see… What a pity…”

Yi Yangmou sighed in disappointment, but he was still unwilling to give up. Suddenly he thought of something and said,

"There is one more thing that might interest you."

Yi Yangmou said, "A variety show team invited me to be a judge. This is a brand new variety show called a script competition. The program team will select a group of great scripts from screenwriters across the country. Once you enter the top ten, you will have the opportunity to make the script into a film or TV series. I think you should participate in this show!"

As a great director, as he grows older, what Yi Yangmou lacks most in recent years is good scripts.

However, the current scripts are becoming more and more rough and cannot stand scrutiny at all. Therefore, when Yi Yangmou received the invitation from the program team, he agreed without thinking twice.

If I can get to know some young screenwriters through this program, maybe I can find the script I want.

"Script Contest?"

When Zhou Chen heard this, his eyes lit up.

I still have a lot of good scripts in my mind. It’s not quite appropriate to shoot a short play, but if I want to shoot a film or TV series, I don’t have enough ability.

If I can write a few interesting scripts through this program, it can be considered as developing a side business.

"What time is it? I have final exams coming up soon."

Zhou Chen thought about it and couldn't help but ask.

"Don't worry, it won't conflict with your exams. We plan to start recording during the winter vacation, and now we're just in the recruitment stage..."

"Winter vacation, no problem."

Zhou Chen agreed immediately.

Since I have nothing to do during the winter vacation, I might as well take advantage of this variety show to write a good script for fun.

Zhou Chen originally wanted to start a business, but after the short play, he suddenly realized that it would be better to make a living simply by writing instead of starting a business in other areas. Because starting a business in other projects may not make as much money as writing.

"Okay, then I'll wait for you!"

Seeing Zhou Chen agreed, Yi Yangmou finally smiled.

He had seen Zhou Chen's screenwriting ability, otherwise there wouldn't have been so many hit short dramas.

Although he did not get the adaptation rights for Fights Break Sphere from Zhou Chen, if he could get Zhou Chen to write another script, he might be able to shoot a high-quality film or TV series!

When he thought of this, Yi Yangmou felt particularly excited.

"Zhou Chen, Zhou Chen, help me read this article!"

However, just after finishing chatting with Yi Yangmou, Zhou Chen received a WeChat message from his high school classmate Yu Yang.

Accompanying it is a WPS file.

The title is "The Grandson of the Ming Emperor".

When Yu Yang went to college, he also studied liberal arts. He was quite confused at the beginning. He was relatively introverted and didn't know what to do for a while.

Watching Zhou Chen filming one short play after another, Yu Yang couldn't help but recall the scenes of studying history in high school.

Yu Yang likes history very much, so he thought about trying to write a historical novel.

First, I can earn some pocket money, and second, I can develop my writing skills.

But what embarrassed Yu Yang was that after he submitted his manuscripts to several websites, he found that none of them could sign a contract with him, which made him extremely depressed.

Only then did he realize that not everyone can write novels.

This novel seems easy to read, but it is not easy to write!

After thinking it over, Yu Yang decided to look for Zhou Chen.

After all, Zhou Chen is now the boss of Fanfan Novel Network!

Zhou Chen took a quick look at the beginning written by Yu Yang. To be honest, it was simply...unbearable to look at.

Yu Yang made the same mistake that many newcomers make when they are self-indulgent. The whole article is full of flowery words, but if you look closely, there is no useful content at all. This is completely incompetent in telling a story...

If it were someone else, Zhou Chen would not bother to say much. Teaching newcomers is a thankless task.

But Yu Yang is different.

Yu Yang is his good brother and has a good personality. It would be good to let Yu Yang earn some living expenses.
