Shenhao UP Lord

Chapter 291
"The accumulation of many authors in their own work may give them certain advantages in the creation of scripts. Xiaohong is a designer, so he single-handedly handles the art of the script and can convey his creative ideas to the maximum."

"A writer friend of mine works in a TV station and has photography resources, so the clues in the script often appear in the form of video."

"And the advantage of web writers lies in the speed of writing. A little girl in the studio who used to write web articles can write as much as I do for a month in a week."

"But the authors who entered the industry early are basically senior players with rich experience in brushing. At that stage, most of them were self-study and explored based on previous scripts. The process of creation was not smooth."

"For example, when I created the first book, I didn't know the so-called format and template. I just wrote a story first. At that time, the script killing was mostly online, and I first tested it with YY voice. Because I had no experience, in his initial In the script, each player has to read through [-] characters before playing the game, and after repeated testing, the process of the game can only be changed after more than a dozen changes."

"You worked so hard and never thought of giving up?"

Listening to Ding Xu's question, Misty shook his head and smiled wryly: "But I always feel that at least one complete work should be presented, and after hearing the rewards of some good works, I decided to stick to it. At that time, I knew that there was an author whose buyout book sold for four. Wan thought it was a sky-high price."

"With the rapid development of the entire industry, the saying that a script can bring millions of dollars to the author, and that the author is God is circulating, attracting more and more people to join it."

"What is slightly different from before is that some of them include speculators who come for industry dividends, or they have a relatively limited understanding of script killing, let alone creation."

Ding Xu shook his head, any emerging industry is similar, there is a response to every request, and script writing training has sprung up.The simplest thing is that some experienced authors will provide learning materials for a fee. Through a certain official account, you can buy 4.9+ scripts or summarized submission templates and writing materials for only 1600 yuan.

Then there are overwhelming online training courses from training institutions, such as the 2-month high-playing class and the 4-month expert class. The fees are 3880 yuan and 6180 yuan, with an average of no more than 500 yuan per month.

The training content includes basic concepts, writing logic, content type analysis, etc.In addition, offline training is also available, usually in the form of 2 to 3-day themed lectures, and the fee is around 1500 yuan.

For newcomers, it is a good opportunity to communicate with peers, but the practicability of the training content needs to be proved.

The barriers to entry in this line of work do not seem to be high, and it even gives people the illusion that anyone can write because of too many career change cases?

But this matter is difficult to achieve quickly. For the author, whether he wants to engage in these jobs for a long time or take advantage of the situation to make quick money, the first thing is to have a player's perspective and know what a fun game is.

And this is based on the experience of brushing books. If you want to become an author, you have to play at least 50 books.

The second is writing ability. At least one must have enthusiasm for writing and be able to adapt to repetitive writing.

The third is that murder is the soul of script killing, so it is also important to have relevant knowledge reserves and keep learning and accumulating. For example, there are a series of books on hand, some forensic doctors introduce cases, and some study human death methods.

The dead in the work are frozen to death, so it is necessary to know the circumstances under which people are more likely to be frozen to death, the quality of the players is high or low, and some more experienced and sophisticated players will question the details.

Get used to reading a lot of mystery novels, and sort out and summarize the key plots and designs of each book.

As for what hard work and talent are, it is a cliché, and it is also an unchanging truth.There are newcomers who want to enter the industry everywhere. Apart from the quality of the works, only a few of them can complete a book.

"I usually share my career and writing experience on Zhihu. Many newcomers come to add WeChat. Some people come up and ask if they can teach me to write scripts. I just want to ask: Is my answer of tens of thousands of words written for nothing? ?”

Mi Wu said helplessly: "Some people also sent submissions, but the reality is absurd. I have received hundreds of scripts one after another, regardless of the quality, and only 10%-20% of the complete works."

"There are only outlines and ideas. The most outrageous thing is to write an outline of three to five hundred words in total, and a brief introduction of one or two hundred words for each task. Let me help you look at it and change it?"

"I think the word "submission" requires popular science. Among all the complete works, there are no more than three scripts signed by the studio!"

Ding Xu laughed, saying that the script kills the author regardless of his background?It does not mean that this industry has no threshold.

At present, it seems that there is a steady stream of fresh blood flowing in, but there are very few people who can really inject vitality into it.

It is not recommended for newcomers to write hard-core reasoning without a large distribution network.

The logic behind this sentence is very simple. The basic reasoning that requires more players can easily affect the game experience and reduce the turnover rate of stores, which is a thankless type.

Although it is a joke, it also reflects the difficulties faced by current script writers, that is, how to grasp the commercial and artistic aspects of scripts.

Regardless of the author's original intention to enter the industry, the ultimate goal is to commercialize the work. The key is to consider issues from the standpoint of players and stores during the creation stage.

For example, whether the role of the character is important, the amount of interaction between different players, and whether there is a story background that allows you to change clothes and take photos to post on friends, all determine the player experience.

For store owners, the scripts that are more likely to be favored are those with many characters, gender reversing, low DM requirements, and moderate game duration.

"The current scripts on the market are full of old tricks that players are familiar with, such as the most common three swords and two poisons, that is, everyone attacks the dead, but only one person succeeds, and in the end it will become a timeline. Waiting to be cleared of suspicion, the knife recognition meeting is regarded by the players as stereotyped in the script."

"The killing methods of many hardcore books are imitating Detective Conan, and the core of the emotional book is taken from classic Japanese and Korean dramas."

"If I can think of something better, I applaud myself. If I can't think of it, I will become someone I hate."

Misty joked: "I didn't like extramarital affairs at first, but after I started writing the script, I found that it can make the three players interact at once, and it can only be said to be really delicious!"

Ding Xu had a thought: Can the IP be changed?

But he immediately denied it. Taking the adaptation of a mystery novel as an example, this linkage has obvious two sides.Although it can achieve high commercial value, there is a problem of spoilers.

If the core creativity is not adjusted, it will affect the experience of IP fans.The simplest example I am a fan of novels, I play this script to kill, but what should I do if I have read this murder case?
