After thinking for a while, Sun Quan came up with two similar ideas.
One was "Alien", the work of Kazjounin. He remembered that the protagonist's superpower in that book was to cultivate another life form that others could not see. He vaguely remembered that the book seemed to be an urban superpower theme. In the book
The "alien body" cultivated by the male protagonist is similar to the Nascent Soul in Xianxia novels, but the novelty of this book lies in the fact that the "alien body" is not the Nascent Soul. It is a human-like life form when it is born.
But it is entirely composed of energy.
And the “alien body” that the male protagonist cultivated seems to be a little girl?
It is impossible for the Nascent Soul in Xianxia novels to be in this situation.
Another similar idea that Sun Quan thought of was the shikigami controlled by the Onmyoji of the island nation.
Shikigami are spiritual beings that can be understood as "ghosts", and the Onmyoji of the island country are similar to the Taoist priests of our country.
Sun Quan has read two works about "Shikigami" a long time ago, and his impression has been blurred. I feel that those two books have a certain popularity, but they are not very popular. They should be typical niche works with a large readership.
big.
The new book "God of Fighting" that Le Chao asked him to help read was somewhat similar to the two ideas in Sun Quan's memory, but not exactly the same.
In the setting of the book "God of Fighting", there is a magical continent where when humans are born, there will be a companion spirit born with them.
The companion spirit is a kind of spirit body, which is completely composed of energy. Its appearance may be any kind of flower, bird, insect or beast in nature.
The newly born accompanying spirit is very weak and seems to be invisible. When frightened, it will hide in the body of the owner. It looks a bit like a soul separated from the owner's body wandering outside.
The companion spirit has no fighting power. In the chapters that Sun Quan just read, he saw that Le Chao set it up like this: the companion spirit will grow up little by little as the master grows.
When the companion spirit grows up to a certain level, it no longer looks like a ghost, and it can gradually help its owner to do many things.
Some of the accompanying spirits will, with the help of their owners, select a species that is consistent with their own identity, whether it is flowers, plants, trees, or birds and animals.
After the selection is made, the accompanying spirit will forcibly seize or possess those flowers, plants, trees, or birds and animals.
Generally speaking, the companion spirits that do this are birds and animals. The more you cherish powerful species, the better.
After the body seizure or possession is successful, the companion spirit will no longer be the companion spirit, but will evolve into a "fighting god".
They began to possess powerful combat effectiveness, not only possessing the original combat effectiveness of the beast body, but also accompanied by energy attacks.
In Sun Quan's opinion, the God of War set up in this way is already similar to the mythical beast in myths and legends.
The difference is that the mythical beasts are born from mythical beasts, while the Dou Shen... is a combination of companion spirits and birds and beasts. The most critical companion spirits are born together when human babies are born.
To be honest, Sun Quan was very surprised that Le Chao's new book had such creativity. This was very inconsistent with the impression Le Chao had given him before.
Isn’t this guy used to picking up other people’s outlines? Why is he so creative this time?
Or is it that this idea was copied from someone else’s outline?
Are there any works of this type currently on the market? Sun Quan searched his memory and couldn't find one similar to "God of War".
Instead, it reminded him of the European and American blockbuster "The Golden Compass".
In his memory, the idea of "The Golden Compass" is similar to Le Chao's "God of War". At present... "The Golden Compass" should have been released. The investment amount of that movie is said to be very large, but after its release
, but his nose was bruised and his face was swollen.
Sun Quan had seen that movie before. It was very creative and had a lot of big scenes. It had the feel of a classic blockbuster.
But I still jumped after it was released.
The reason may be that it’s not that satisfying?
The most amazing idea of "The Golden Compass" is that in a different world, when everyone is born, their soul will transform into the form of a spiritual god to accompany the owner.
As for the so-called spiritual gods, Sun Quan remembered that they seemed to be beasts of flesh and blood. These spiritual gods would protect their masters. The powerful spiritual gods were very powerful in combat, and they were two-in-one with their masters.
If the master dies, the spirit god will die with him, and vice versa. If the spirit god is killed, the master will immediately burp.
The more Sun Quan thought about it, the more he felt that Le Chao's idea of "God of War" was very similar to the spiritual god of "The Golden Compass".
The only difference is that spiritual gods are born with the ability to fight.
However, the God of War written by Le Chao needs to find a bird and beast of the same shape to take over the body of the accompanying spirit at birth.
It turns out that this guy didn't pick up the outlines of other novels this time, and started picking up ideas for European and American blockbusters?
Sun Quan felt a little emotional.
No contempt.
There is really no contempt.
Because if you look at the birth and evolution history of online writing, you will find that most of the ideas in online writing are borrowed from film and television works, including some characters and plots.
Many great writers who wrote online articles in the early days made a lot of money in this way.
Not only that, for new online writers, any creative idea in the world can be exploited.
For example, authors who write about fantasy like to review the settings of "Warcraft", authors who write about games like to review the settings of games such as "Legend", and those who like to write about immortals will finish "Journey to the West" and then "Journey to the West".
"Fengshen Bang", finish "Fengshen Bang", then "Shan Hai Jing" and so on.
Such authors are generally despised by no one.
Because what everyone is talking about is only creativity, so it’s great to talk about some settings. Copyright law generally protects expression, but not creativity.
To put it simply, copying other people's words or plots is not okay! It is generally OK to borrow other people's creativity.
For example, with ideas like time travel and rebirth, can the first author who wrote about time travel and rebirth be able to sue the thousands of authors who wrote about time travel and rebirth?
cannot!
Therefore, even if Sun Quan finally recognized that Dou Shen's idea was probably borrowed from "The Golden Compass", he still admired Le Chao in his heart.
Because the chapters he is currently reading are completely different from "The Golden Compass" in terms of plot.
Sun Quan became interested and continued to read the story of "God of War".
After about half an hour, I finished reading the chapters in the document.
There are 24 chapters in total.
After reading it, Sun Quan squinted his eyes and frowned, but did not immediately call Le Chao to express his opinion.
In fact, when he first read "The Golden Compass", he also thought about writing a story similar to "The Golden Compass".
He also thinks that the setting of spiritual gods in "The Golden Compass" is amazing.
And that movie was a hit, and many people had never heard of that movie. If we learn from the setting of Spirit God, it will definitely give many readers a sense of novelty.
Sun Quan knows very well how important novelty is to an online article.
But after thinking about it for several days, he gave up the idea.
There are several reasons.
For example: "The Golden Compass" has been praised. Is the setting of the spiritual god really amazing enough? Do readers really like to read it?
For example: in a fighting work, what everyone wants to see most is for the protagonist to go out and fight the enemy in person, but what about the setting of Spirit God? According to the setting of Spirit God, if a person wants to beat another person, he does not need to do it himself.
To take action, you don’t even need to use your thoughts to direct it. The spirit god has autonomous consciousness and can fight well on its own. So is this a story about humans? Or is it a story about beasts fighting?
etc.
In the end, Sun Quan did not touch on this idea.
What’s amazing now is that Le Chao borrowed the spirit setting of “The Golden Compass” and wrote this book “God of Fighting” for his grandson to read.
Will this book become a hit?
Sun Quan is not sure. He personally feels that this setting is great, but readers may not buy it.
Moreover, after reading the chapters of "God of Fighting" that have been written so far... those plots, Sun Quan was a little disappointed. After all, Le Chao is still a novice, and he has not been writing online articles for a long time, only a year or two. Moreover,
In the past year or two, Le Chao has hardly written a truly original story.
This should be Lechao's shortcoming.
In Sun Quan's opinion, the plot of "God of Fighting" is a bit mediocre, the fluency is relatively poor, and the writing style is also biased toward serious storytelling.
Logically speaking, serious storytelling should be considered an advantage.
But this advantage appeared in Le Chao, but Sun Quan felt it was a shortcoming.
Because the current plot of "God of War" is not innovative enough, if the plot is very innovative, then the serious writing style is a bonus. Otherwise, the plot itself is mediocre, but the writing style is still so serious. Readers who like online articles
Will you like watching it?
Isn’t one of the most important reasons why readers of online articles love to read online articles because the writing is humorous and interesting?
Of course, there are exceptions, such as historical and military works.
But what type is "God of War"?
Fantasy!
"Brother-in-law, brother-in-law?"
Han Li's call brought Sun Quan back to his senses. He followed the sound and saw Han Li, Le Chao and Yuan Shuiqing sitting on the sofa watching TV. They all looked at him strangely.
Sun Quan subconsciously raised his hand and touched his face, a little puzzled, "What's wrong? Is there something on my face?"
Han Li laughed and shook her head, "No! I just wanted to ask you if you have finished reading? I just saw that your eyes were not on the computer..."
Sun Quan glanced at "God of Fighting" on the computer, smiled and nodded, got up and walked towards them, answering as he walked: "I've finished watching it."
"How's it going? What do you think? Is it okay?" Han Li looked expectant.
Le Chao also had a look of expectation in his eyes.
Sun Quan nodded slightly, and did not mention "The Golden Compass". He looked at Le Chao and said, "It's very new. Well, I'm talking about the settings of accompanying spirits and fighting gods. It should be refreshing to many readers."
"Really? When I saw the idea for his book for the first time a few days ago, I also thought the setting was great! Then...brother-in-law, I want to ask you something! Wait until Le Chao's new book is released
, can you recommend it to him?"
Han Li said excitedly.
Sun Quan thought that what she was asking for for Le Chao was Zhang Tui from his works. Zhang Tui was just a piece of cake for him, so he did not refuse and nodded with a smile, "Okay, when you want it, you can let him do it."
Tell me and I will give him a thumbs up."
Before she finished speaking, she saw Han Li shaking her head repeatedly, "No! Brother-in-law, what I'm asking you for is not a chapter recommendation. I want you to help Le Chao recommend it to the publishing house. You have published several books, so you must be familiar with the publishing house.
