Chapter 3 The beginning of everything is difficult
Sitting in front of the computer, Zhong Yunqing's thoughts were clearer than ever before. Since he decided to write Infinite Flow as his first book, he would no longer be sloppy.
Just like a pen name, if a novel wants to get views, a good title is also a top priority. At the very least, you need to give your novel a title that makes readers want to click on it.
Secondly, since it is about unlimited flow, the first indispensable element is naturally movies and TV series. As for the title of the book, it is best to be related to the words "film and television".
This is more relevant to the topic, allowing readers to look directly at the title of the book, become curious about the general content of the book, and subconsciously click in to find out.
So Zhong Yunqing rolled his eyes and thought of the title of his first book.
He once again had a strange expression and typed several times on the keyboard. The title column of the novel on the Qidian website was quickly filled in with the words "Unlimited Film and Television Elegance".
Hehe, "The Elegance of Film and Television"! This title is both catchy and has literal connotations. It completely fits the theme of infinite flow he wants to write! Is it true?
Okay, there’s not much else to say. Now that the title of the book has been determined, the next step is to write an introduction and outline of the novel.
According to the initial outline, the plot of the book Zhong Yunqing was going to write referenced many infinitely terrifying settings:
The male protagonist will be a frustrated little tour guide who accidentally enters an infinite world.
Of course, he laughed at the classic "cold...shaking" opening line!
As for the structure of the story, Zhong Yunqing has a clear understanding of his own writing level, and he still knows how much he weighs.
He couldn't write a world view as big as Z and bring many supporting characters to life. So he only wrote a single-player infinite stream, where one person travels through various film and television worlds.
As for future teammates, they will all be collected by entering the dungeon.
For example, the white-bone spirit in Sun Wukong's Three Fights, the little dragon girl in Nezha Hao Hai, the snake spirit in King Kong Calabash Baby, and so on...
Moreover, there was no Marvel at this time, and there were no superheroes of all kinds. Mugen Flow was much simpler to write, and the battle scenes were not that grand.
Another thing is, after all, it is now the 2000s. The general environment of this period can be said to be the golden age of online writing.
At this time, the censorship of novels was very loose, and all kinds of harem novels and small Huang novels were emerging one after another. He could write more seriously, which would also attract a wave of female readers.
In short, the most important thing about novels is to be enjoyable! The first book is about infinite flow, which can be implemented very well!
The characters and the main plot are intertwined, and the plot has ups and downs, so that the reader's attention can be firmly captured...
Then there is a very cliche plot. As the protagonist travels through time-traveling movies and TV shows, he becomes more and more powerful and has higher-level powers. Then he recruits people as teammates and younger brothers in various movies and TV shows.
And all kinds of indispensable pretense and slap-in-the-face plots.
Finally, in the development of the plot that makes readers envious, jealous and hateful, he becomes a God-like existence!
Having said that, this kind of routine writing that was a waste in later generations will definitely shine in the eyes of readers who are waiting for food in this era when novel themes are scarce and short-form writing is prevalent!
As for why Zhong Yunqing chose Infinite Flow as his first book, it is very simple. It is nothing more than this subject matter. In this period when Internet literature is gradually emerging, it is definitely a super bomb sweeping the Internet literature circle!
First of all, of course, it is to cater to the public. After all, the most important thing about writing a novel is that people will read it, and everything else is just side effects!
That’s why there is a popular saying in later generations: Where there is demand, there is a market!
Furthermore, this theme is novel enough. You can travel through various movie stories and fight monsters and upgrades with the characters in the plot. This kind of imagination is completely beyond the imagination of readers and can be a blockbuster!
As the saying goes, “One trick can be eaten all over the world!”
Writing unlimited streams can accumulate the first wave of readers as quickly as possible and attract readers to watch to the greatest extent.
In the 2000s, the reading environment was not as common as in later generations. Today's mobile phones cannot read novels.
Most readers now go to bookstores and rent physical physical books to read. Therefore, the author needs to publish the book on the computer first, and then the publisher sees the commercial value of the book and then contacts the author to publish the book.
Quality version.
Therefore, if Zhong Yunqing wants to gather a group of book fans first, he needs his first book to have enough clicks on the website. Only in this way will a publishing house be willing to come to him to discuss signing a publishing contract.
As for Infinite Flow, a big killer, he can basically write plot logic, so it is not difficult to succeed. It can bring enough clicks to his "debut"! In comparison, writing is completely secondary now.
s things.
In fact, this is what Zhong Yunqing thinks. Anyway, he is now a bit actor and has a lot of time to write novels. The key now is to write a book first to gain popularity.
After writing a few books, his pen name became famous, and he could make time with other authors to write some popular original works that could be adapted into movies and TV series.
It doesn’t matter if his writing skills are not as good as the other’s, as long as he is the first to write novel ideas that lead the trend, he will definitely have a place in the online literary circle! When the time comes, “Five Whites of Central Plains” may be changed to “Six Whites of Central Plains”!
In short, for the sake of a beautiful and happy life in the future, he must go to the dark side on the road of online writing no matter what!
Look at the platinum writers of later generations, which one is not worth over 100 million!
In his future plan, the writing in the first two years is to lay the foundation. In the later period, when the writing style becomes more mature, he will write more original IP.
In the future, as his income increases, he may be able to participate in investment and assemble a crew to film some film and television dramas adapted from his own original novels!
Just thinking about this makes people's blood boil!
It’s not without reason that Zhong Yunqing thinks so. To know whether a novel can be adapted or not, for the author, the benefits can be said to be very different.
Of course, whether it is IP or "Central Plains Six Whites", these are things to be considered later, and it is a bit far-fetched to think about it now.
After withdrawing his random thoughts and roughly writing an outline, Zhong Yunqing continued to write a short introduction to his work before feeling a little sleepy.
Then I looked at the time on my computer and saw that it was already one o'clock in the morning.
That's it for today. After all, this computer doesn't belong to him, and it's not convenient to use for a long time. Anyway, writing a novel doesn't take a day or two, and it only takes a long time.
He immediately turned off the computer and went to sleep.
…………
"Dong dong dong!"
"Dong dong dong..."
Early the next morning, Zhong Yunqing, who was still sleeping soundly, was woken up by a series of knocks on the door!
He slept late last night and had not yet regained his energy. So he ignored the knock on the door and grabbed a pillow to cover his head in an attempt to reduce the decibels.
"Yun Qing, you are still sleeping, get up quickly! If you don't leave, you will be late! Yun Qing..."
The knocking on the door stopped for a moment, and then came the voice of his best friend Yue Peng. He had often come to the rental house to find Zhong Yunqing before, so the landlord was familiar with him and did not stop him.
When Zhong Yunqing heard this voice, he threw away the pillow and went to open the door. You know, this guy is very angry when he wakes up!
Opening the door, he looked at the figure outside the door angrily and said:
"What are you doing, fat man? You're not letting anyone sleep so early in the morning!"
Seeing Zhong Yunqing still squinting his eyes and looking like he hadn't woken up, Yue Peng ignored his somewhat unpleasant tone and immediately scolded him:
"Dude, you didn't forget that there will be filming in a while, right?"
"Filming? What are you filming..."
That’s right! We’ll be filming soon!
Zhong Yunqing suddenly recovered from his confused state, and then he remembered that the little fat man came specifically to tell him about this last night.
In fact, I can't blame him for this. After all, it was his first time traveling through time, so he had little experience. He had not yet been able to switch between the two roles of the little tour guide in his previous life and the current walk-on role!
At this time, Zhong Yunqing's anger immediately disappeared. He looked at his best friend with an extremely sincere expression and said sheepishly:
"It's my fault, I'll wash up and leave immediately! I promise I won't do this again!"
When he saw that he had admitted his mistake, the little fat man did not mean to be unreasonable and immediately changed the subject and continued:
"You kid has never been late before, but you actually slept in today? Tell me honestly, did you secretly go to Santiao Street to "play games" last night? Otherwise, why did you look so depressed so early in the morning!"
After hearing these words, according to memory, as soon as the best friend said "three streets", Zhong Yunqing knew what he was expressing!
He immediately glared at the little fat man with a fierce expression:
