Pu Jie actually wrote a fantasy-type online book in his last life. It was a clichéd sword and magic book that looked very middle-grade.
The novel is really unreadable, full of awkward dialogue that makes my toes ache.
But if it’s made into an anime, I’m not sure it will be okay.
Pu Jie put away his thoughts for a while and began to focus on the next book he wanted to create.
A genuine fantasy, or rather, a Western fantasy.
"Although the award mentioned by the system definitely refers to the very important traditional novel award, I took a trick and asked Teacher Wang to help me find an award that is important but more suitable for online writing. In this case, I only
We need to design around this award and just customize a novel for foreign markets."
"Customized articles are generally aimed at a certain group of readers, just like the Honor of Kings customized article that Qidian made a fuss about some time ago. In fact, apart from those who play games, there are no other readers. If I try my best to write about Western fantasy,
, which can open up a larger market abroad and avoid ordering all domestic products.”
"First of all, the protagonist must have a foreign name and identity, so that it is easier for overseas readers to assume the role."
"Secondly, the social background is also set somewhere abroad. Forget it, somewhere else. It would be bad if it causes regional blackouts. Foreign countries are also divided into three, six, and nine. The east, west, south, and north of the United States each look down on anyone.
, if you determine the region, wouldn’t that mean you are limiting yourself?”
Pu Jie shook his head and refused to cause trouble for himself.
Nowadays, many great masters write books in the same way. They are all based on an imaginary era and redesign the region in order to avoid this kind of thing from happening, even though they refer to the specific conditions of a certain dynasty when designing.
Old bookworms all know which category of books are discussed every day in the Qidian comment section.
Moreover, it is convenient to sell copyrights if it is isolated, and there will be no problem of zz mapping.
"Okay, then let's write a mysterious and attractive story in an imaginary era and region, for example."
Pu Jie looked up and thought, and suddenly saw a boy in front of him holding a copy of "The Peak of the Victorian Era".
Um?
Suddenly an idea flashed in Pu Jie's mind.
"Victorian Era. Got it! Steampunk!"
No boy can resist the charm of steampunk.
If cyberpunk is still a bit ahead of its time, then steampunk is the romance in every boy’s heart.
Steam engines, pulley guns, cannons, giant ships, and airships.
The most important thing is! Many events and crafts of this period can be found in various books. Borrowing them from your own text will greatly enrich the flesh and bones of the book and create a more realistic environment of the times.
If this book is to be written as a high-quality article, it is natural to strive for excellence and study the materials carefully.
Pu Jie was a little excited when he thought of this.
"Finally. Finally I'm going to create seriously again!"
Pujie sets the time in a British Victorian background similar to the 19th century. There are sufficient documents and photos for reference, and most books about steampunk use this as a reference.
For no other reason than it is a classic! It tastes right!
As soon as the flavor comes out, it is like the translation accent, which makes people instantly fall into the drama.
Pu Jie thought about it for a while and felt that the content of the book must be very popular among foreign readers.
After all, compared to ancient Chinese culture, they can better relate to Western culture such as the First Industrial Revolution, which they understand more deeply.
Pu Jie does not make any comparison between the two cultures. In the final analysis, he is just a bad writer of online articles. He can write wherever he needs to use it. If the domestic environment does not allow him to write about strange powers and gods, firearms D
He would naturally let the protagonist hunt ghosts in a country where he had a good life, and have sex in the land of free America.
Oh no, shoot.
"After the general environment is designed, we need to consider what kind of power system, various characters and plots to design."
Before opening a book, you must write a very detailed outline to ensure that the quality of the book can be maintained up to a large number of words.
We have seen that many books collapse after a few hundred thousand words or a million words. This is because they did not design an outline that can write millions of words.
This book by Pu Jie is going to win an award, so it must be designed carefully.
World view, power system, characters, cheats, opening angle, writing style.
These must be considered carefully.
Just like when I was writing "Urban Dragon King's Son-in-law", it would definitely not work if I just open Word and do that.
He must be sophisticated enough to win this mission. His book doesn't even need to be updated with more than 10,000 words every day. The only way to do it is to polish it carefully. Just think about it. Official awards will definitely not be given.
Awarded to a no-brainer.
Cultural export should also export some tasteful culture.
You said that if you teach "NMSL" to foreigners, will it get official recognition?
Obviously not!
Designing these plots is a complicated job and cannot be done overnight. Pu Jie scanned the study room again and found no suitable inspiration. He could only sigh and prepare to go home and watch more European and American movies to find inspiration.
Pu Jie left his seat and patted the shoulder of the buddy in front of him: "Classmate, can you sell me this copy of "The Peak of the Victorian Era"? I'll pay 200 yuan."
The male student frowned slightly: "Classmate, the school is here to learn, not to show off. If you ask me to borrow it, I might give it to you, but I'm sorry, what I despise most is this kind of treatment of knowledge.
Attitude."
Pu Jie was in awe!
Then use the multi-fish method.
"300?"
The male student's face turned red: "Knowledge is priceless! You are insulting me!"
"500 yuan!"
Boys:(｀д′)
He glared at Pu Jie with a righteous look on his face, thrust the book into his hand, and opened his WeChat payment code.
"Student, please remember! I don't care about the 500 yuan, but I appreciate your tireless attitude towards knowledge!"
Pu Jie nodded and swept the money over: "I can see that you are very principled!"
"Hmph~"
The male classmate walked out of the classroom straight, his back straighter than anyone else's.
Those who didn’t know better thought they were playing the role of a spy determined to fight to the death!
After getting the book, Pu Jie walked to the library, held the book and studied it carefully to extract some knowledge.
If there is any information you need to find, you can also read more in the library.
Inspiration comes from reading and seeing, not from nothing.
18:00.
Pu Jie rubbed his head and put away the books on the table.
"It's too big. There's a lot to sort out."
"Unfortunately, we still haven't found a good power system, nor a refreshing entry point. It would be a bit too crude to always start in the academy."
The current fantasy novels on Zhongshan International are all about academia and magic, which is a bit tired of aesthetics.
"Harm! Don't rush the outline design, just take your time."
At this time, Pu Jie just stood up and was about to borrow the basic book he had just read when he received a voice call.
It's from He Mi.
The connection was followed by a burst of cheerful laughter.
"Giggles~ Pu Jie, your clothes are dry. I dried them with a hair dryer for you. Come and get them? I'll wait for you under the library."
Pu Jie thought for a while and decided it was time to eat, so he agreed.
"Okay! We're here."
downstairs.
Under the faint sunset, He Mi stood among a group of young and beautiful girls, holding a piece of clothing and a brown-black iron box.
She pulled Pu Jie to the side, looked at Pu Jie pitifully and said:
"Pu Jie, we are going to play tarot cards together in the evening. They all have boyfriends, but I don't. I rarely talk to boys and have no acquaintances. Why don't you pretend to be a little bit? Otherwise I will be very embarrassed."
Pu Jie waved his hand: "Forget it, let's go play. I'll have something to do later."
He Mi held Pu Jie's arm between two big bears and said coquettishly: "Please mess with me, please mess with me~"
Pu Jie wiped a trace of redness from his nose, raised his head and said, "It's agreed, I'll play with you for a while and then leave. I'll go back to stay at night."
"Great!"
Hemi:ヾ(▽)ノ
Pu Jie shook his head. He felt that he might have thought too much. What kind of thoughts could such a simple girl have?
When several people walked out of the school.
A tall boy with a big ball on the basketball court said: "Mingzhe, look, among the group of girls who just left school, is there your girlfriend? She seems to be holding someone else's arm."
Mingzhe glanced at it casually, but didn't see it clearly.
He smiled and said: "How is it possible? Mimi just told me that they are celebrating their birthdays in their dormitory tonight. They are all girls. Mimi is so simple and can't even lie. You must have read it wrong!"
"Oh, maybe I'm dazzled. Come on, Mingzhe, let's continue!"
"okay!"
Facing the afterglow of the setting sun, Mingzhe lowered the green peaked cap on his head a little more.
