Genius writer

He turned on the camera, and the stream of electrons from the other hemisphere hit the screen, turning into the face that made him yearn day and night.Although the pixels are not high and the angle is weird, the corners of Ren Mingqing's mouth are still crazily raised.

"Hello." Zhuang Mo waved at him.

Ren Mingqing was taken aback: "Do you want to speak English?"

Zhuang Mo had already been wandering around with his laptop in his hand, showing him the layout of the hotel, as well as the blue swimming pool and tall palm trees downstairs: "Isn't it beautiful? I'll bring you with me later."

"Have you run out of jet lag yet?"

"Been sleeping on the plane."

"Oh, will you be busy at work next?"

"It's okay—how about you? Did you write well when I wasn't home?"

"Uh……"

"What did you write?" Zhuang Mo looked at his watch, "I specially reserved time for you to revise the manuscript across hemispheres."

Since he said so, Ren Mingqing was also polite and shared his momentary inspiration with him.Xu Jingzhi came out of the bathroom, watched Zhuang Mo sitting at the bar without taking a shower and videoing with Ren Mingqing, couldn't help covering the camera: "It's early in the morning! Ah!" Zhuang Mo fanned his hand Well, Ren Mingqing almost used his sci-fi setting to set up the entire history, which is very interesting.

However, being too unconstrained will reduce the acceptance of readers, and it will also bring troubles to subsequent development, not only the problem of money, but also technical barriers.But of course he wouldn't say that directly.

"Your idea is very good, but you certainly can't go through all these thousands of years. This is not a novel, but a set - have you ever thought about how to write a novel?"

"Probably many, many books will be written."

"Well, it doesn't matter. You choose the event you are most interested in first, cut out this time period separately, and tell a complete story under your big world view. You don't need to dig out the whole world view in one go, but let people understand your The core setting, that is, mythical heroes are actually human beings implanted with gene locks by the gods. After their genes are awakened, they have special abilities and can use the relics left by foreign races."

"Okay." Ren Mingqing's worries were swept away, and Zhuang Mo always praised him and pointed him in the right direction.

"You are a very spiritual author, and your world setting is great, but when you write novels, I hope you take away your spiritual energy. You have too many things you want to express, like those interstellar battleships that surfaced And so on, the idea is grand and the scenes are spectacular, but you’d better not spend too much time describing these space epics, because this is out of place with your historical background, and it’s hard for readers to get involved when you express it in words. The most important thing about elements is not to let readers play. How can we make them feel real? It is to refine the settings, focus on the plot, and concentrate the conflicts on the relationship between characters, so as to be grounded. For example, your whole novel, It is written that the protagonist group is looking for an energy crystal on the battleship. But the world he lives in is still in line with the background of the Spring and Autumn and Warring States period, but the details make people feel that the level of technology is different.”

"You are so right! I have been thinking about these issues for the past two days. I have made so many world settings but... I don't use so many plots. World settings and novels are two different things, or should be based on the storyline To be the master, not to overwhelm the host.”

"That's right, you should consider the story itself first, don't rush the world setting, save it for later use." Zhuang Mo calmly arranged Ren Mingqing's creative path.

Although it is not easy to use in the novel, a battleship in the ancient prehistoric world has surfaced, which is very suitable for the opening screen animation of the game.

As usual, Tian Tian hugged the quilt and came to live with Ren Mingqing. Seeing the heated discussion between the two, he couldn't help but feel jealous: "Why do you listen to everything he says, but you don't listen to anything I say? Madam, you are biased."

Ren Mingqing didn't know how to explain it to him, and was a little embarrassed.

Zhuang Mo knew it all.

Tian Tian must tell Ren Mingqing that this will make money and that will become popular, which is very attractive to other authors, but for a person like Ren Mingqing who is dedicated to seeking the truth, he doesn't care about this, and he doesn't understand much.Ren Mingqing is a very ingenious author, as long as you explain the content to him and make sense, he will listen to your opinion and is very open-minded.

Zhuang Mo never talked to Ren Mingqing about commercialization, but only told him how to write novels well.Both of them are very professional in this regard, so Ren Mingqing can easily understand Zhuang Mo's thinking, and has already deeply convinced Zhuang Mo's vision in the accumulated exchanges.

So Ren Mingqing cooperated very, very well in front of Zhuang Mo.Zhuang Mo can always find words that can persuade him.The two hit it off and decided to start writing a novel.

"Okay, it's getting late, I'm going out, get a good night's sleep." Zhuang Mo's image froze on the screen.

Ren Mingqing finally understood the old saying: the time for joy is always short.

Tian Tian went out to pour water, and there was no one else in the room. Zhuang Mo put his hand on the laptop, and turned to chat with the invisible Xu Jingzhi.Ren Mingqing suddenly had a strong urge to tell him how he felt.Now is an excellent opportunity, he just came up with a good subject, and Zhuang Mo is half a world away, and it will take more than a week to come back, he can run away if he fails to confess, avoiding the embarrassment of being rejected in person, how wonderful ah.

"Men must be brave!" Old Xu's lesson of hating iron for being weak floated in his mind.

Ren Mingqing silently recited it ten times to cheer herself up. Feeling that it was almost done, she made up her mind and clenched her fists. She leaned over to the computer and said softly, "...I miss you."

There was a "boom", and the video ended at the same time. The moment Zhuang Mo turned off the computer was frozen on the screen, and Tian Tian happily ran back to the house with the cold water can in his hand.

Ren Mingqing broke out in a hot sweat, regretfully lost.

Then he went to bed thinking he should have been more prepared.For a high-altitude flower like Zhuang Mo, the confession in Caton's video is too hasty and not sincere enough.It must be grand and special, and it is best to move him, and it is even better to have a strong personal style.

-

A week later, Zhuang Mo came back from the United States.

This time he went to inspect a special effects team, and once again sighed with admiration for the American film industry.Foreign motion capture and facial expression capture technologies are not comparable to those in China, and they have a terrible advantage in fantasy film and television production.

There are also many black technologies in the studio shooting scene.The photographer can even manipulate the lens through VR to preview the effect of the film in advance, which greatly reduces the shooting time.

Zhuang Mo initially negotiated an acquisition intention, hoping to package and airlift the team and machinery to Liancheng's film and television base in Q City, and bring the entire industrial system and personnel into the country for the shooting of the series "The Great Chronicle" and "Dust and Smoke" .

He left the case to Li Tianduo to follow up, and then went back to Jingyu to organize a monthly meeting.During the time he was away, the company didn't have any major troubles. Thanks to Bai Shangshang, since the news of his marriage with Xu Jingzhi came out, it has been on the hot searches all day long, continuously attracting traffic to the website and app.In addition, Tian Tian's light reading plan has also introduced many co-authors to the homepage, and the traffic has steadily increased.Zhuang Mo began to consider introducing a new ranking mechanism to stimulate readers to join in the ranking and do the last wave of marketing for the quarterly championship.

When he asked Tian Tian to get off work together, Tian Tian said to him worriedly: "My wife is too brainy, I can't persuade him. I asked him to write about e-sports, and he just wanted to write historical science fiction. I told him this is wrong." It’s easy to realize, but not easy to land, and he doesn’t listen to me.”

"Why write e-sports? Of course it's better to write historical science fiction." Zhuang Mo laughed.

"You guys just wear a pair of pants! Business bragging! Collusion!"

Zhuang Mo asked him to fasten his seat belt first: "Your thinking is indeed correct. A small author writes a popular game, and if there is a wave of popularity, the data will be very good. But you have to know, this is only in the heat of the wave. To an extent."

"why?"

Zhuang Mo asked a very simple question: "If you write game fanfiction, who will you sell the game version to later?"

Tian Tian thought for a while, his expression changed.

"Not only the game version is a problem, but all copyrights are a problem. First, the game already exists, and the game version is completely in vain; second, other copyrights cannot be sold, because you use the game settings and you commercialize it. It’s copyright infringement, you have to shave all the settings of the game from beginning to end before you can sell it, so why did you write about it.”

"Can't you ask the game side for authorization?"

"Let me tell you the most basic truth - the flow of games is not in the same order of magnitude as the flow of novels. No matter how big you are, write game fanfiction, unless the fanfic culture is very deep, such as "Xiayou" , that may buy your account, otherwise the game company will ignore you."

Tian Tian's three views were shattered all over the place.

"There is an article called "League of Kings", which is very popular on the Internet, and it claims to have tens of millions of copyrights, but when it is filmed, it has to be completely rebuilt, and the game content can't appear at all. Why? The film and television company can't negotiate this authorization. , the game company doesn’t even want to see you, it’s just so stubborn.”

"But Mr. Tan Si is working as a fan of "Glory of Heroes"..." Tian Tian thought for a while, "Oh, Guanwen and L4 are also from the Penguin system."

"He has a problem with this thing."

Tan Si wrote a suspense competition essay of the same name, but does "Glory of Heroes" need a suspense competition book?Is Blizzard's film a grievance and hatred for the dota game?Of course not, gamers just want to watch the alliance dog fight the tribal pig!This is the real game culture output.

"Glory of Heroes" doesn't need any suspenseful competitive novels. What it needs is an explanation, a complete world view of why all mythical heroes and historical figures gather together and possess hero skills.

Historical science fiction, this element is stacked very, very badly, it is worthy of being his author.

Zhuang Mo's heart is like an arrow.
