Chapter 75 [The first step to becoming a writer]
The person in the mirror’s proposal is “take other people’s paths and leave others with no way out”, which Liang Kun likes very much.
Can copying Korean things be called copying? In parallel worlds, Koreans always say that the most popular things today are copying them. This kind of thing is basically just a fool, which is quite offensive. Liang Kun decided to let them say it right without evidence.
Liang Kun was embarrassed or guilty when copying works in parallel worlds. Because the original author didn’t know that he could write those things. If he didn’t know, there would be no pain and no one would be hurt.
What is the favorite entertainment for Chinese people in the early 21st century? The answer is to watch TV series, especially Korean dramas.
Korean dramas can meet the entertainment needs of Chinese people. Most of them are well-made, beautiful pictures, simple plots, and no thinking. They are really good products for relaxing entertainment. The drama is not a big disadvantage, the threshold is low, and it is appreciated by both the elite and the masses. He has watched many Korean dramas with his girlfriend, some of which are really good.
Mainland dramas are known for their "family problems, tearing up Japanese devils, and thunder rolling in". With a single theme and rough production, how can they compete with others? When some people scold Korean dramas and angrily denounce cultural invasion, can they learn from them?
Liang Kun plans to turn some classic Korean pop things into Chinese, and he feels that he is doing something extremely just. If he does it well, he can compete with Korean dramas in the future, and the other party's culture will not be easy to invade.
This is in line with the trend. In an era when 200,000 words are called novels, if he writes a long online article, he will not be able to publish it at all, and he will be thrown into the trash can by the editor.
The movie "Sorry, I Love You" mentioned by the person in the mirror is a super classic in Korean dramas, a tragedy that people can't forget.
"This is a novel with a script first, and then a 16-episode TV series, right? Can it be possible to write a novel directly?" Liang Kun has read the novel, but he doesn't know who wrote it, it's the content of the TV series.
Novels of the same type include "Full House", "Winter Love Song", etc., which are related to Korean drama peripheral products.
"Of course, please change the content that does not conform to the national conditions." said the person in the mirror.
Liang Kun sighed: "It's a pity that I can't invest in filming after writing, I don't have the capital, and I don't know people in the entertainment industry."
The person in the mirror said: "At least you can occupy the IP. The original TV series was released at the end of 2004, and it is still several years before the script is released. You should write novels first, and whether to sell the copyright of film and television in the future. The physical books of tragic during this period are easy to accept and have the potential to become bestsellers."
"Just change the Korean background to China, right? It's not difficult." If Liang Kun can't even do this, it would be too useless.
The person in the mirror said: "This is a must-change. If you feel that the rhetoric is not gorgeous enough and the content is not rich enough, you can also add something. You are a top student in the Chinese language department of Yanda, and this thing should not be difficult for you."
Liang Kun and the person in the mirror looked at each other and smiled, and there was a consensus.
From 2000 to 2010, it was the golden decade of the Korean film and television industry. Movies and TV series have produced many high-quality products that are popular in Asia. Before 2010, Chinese local movies had no box office at all. People prefer to watch TV series at home, and their love for Korean dramas is far greater than that of domestic dramas.
If he has money in the future, if he develops in the entertainment industry, filming TV series is also a good entry point. If he wants to make a movie, he has to wait until 2010 and the theaters will develop. If he can't shoot it himself, he can sell the adaptation rights to the director who wants to shoot and make a profit.
The story is not complicated, the main line is to abuse the male protagonist from beginning to end.
Cha Wuhe was abandoned in an orphanage by his parents at the age of two. He was adopted by an Australian family when he was two years old. Because of domestic violence, he ran away from home at the age of 10. Street artist Paul adopted him, but when Paul met a shallow woman, Wuhe was abandoned again. Wuhe has been living a wandering life, stealing and doing everything.
When they grew up, Wu Hyuk met a Korean girl Zhiying. Although the two loved each other deeply, Zhiying finally chose to leave him for the sake of money and married a Melbourne gang leader. A killer appeared at Zhiying's wedding. Wu Hyuk was shot twice in order to protect her, and one of the bullets remained on his head forever, which meant that he had no time.
Wu He wanted to go back to his motherland to look for relatives in his last days. At this time, he found that his parents did not abandon him and his mentally retarded sister because of poverty. His mother was a star and lived a wealthy life, and his younger brother also became a star.
Wu He decided to take revenge on his biological mother and brother to compensate for the suffering he had suffered. He fell in love with his younger brother's childhood sweetheart and deliberately seduced his younger brother's girlfriend, which caused his younger brother to be stimulated and became a car accident. At this time, he found that there was something else, and his biological mother didn't know that he and his sister were alive.
As long as the director is not a brainless person, whoever plays this TV series will be popular. The original male and female protagonists were all very popular at that time and won many awards. If Liang Kun wrote the novel, there would be nothing that happened to Korean stars, and it would have a greater butterfly effect.
The subconscious mind gave Liang Kun confidence. This is indeed an era when tragic novels are best-selling, and the author will not be sent to the blade. For example, Pizi Cai's "First Intimate Contact" has only more than 60,000 words, and the content is so simple that it can be summarized in a few sentences, and it is still popular. The reason for its popularity is very simple, and the heroine died of terminal illness.
The earlier "Enjoy the End" was also the same routine. The male protagonist was diagnosed with myasthenia gravis and seemed to have to lose the ratings, so the ratings were super high. In the future, it would be unimaginable that Wang Zhiwen would act in idol dramas. He looked like myasthenia gravis, but he would become popular.
Liang Kun was not in a hurry to start writing and asked again: "Besides writing novels, what other ways do I have to make money in the near future? Even if I practice suona to level B, it seems that it is difficult for me to make money."
The person in the mirror said: "You can play music and make Chinese style, and sell songs to celebrities or big-name stars who urgently need good songs. You can also do more good people and good deeds, strive to produce singing skills, and sing yourself after making up for the shortcomings. If you write lyrics and compose music and have the music, you will definitely become famous."
"What kind of Chinese style is good to write about?"
"The Chinese style is..." The person in the mirror moved sideways, and his voice became a singing voice of a flower actress. "The years passed in the small town, and the clear courage. The washed memories, I remember you, live proudly."
“…”
Liang Kun was surprised. In reality, he sang out of tune, and the person in the mirror actually sang like the original. Because this was a subconscious mind, he had heard the original and recorded the correct singing style, but it was just missing the accompaniment.
Jay Chou’s "Huo Yuanjia" is really Chinese, and it has added hip-hop and Peking Opera elements, which are particularly brainwashed.
The soundtrack of "Huo Yuanjia" begins with a magnificent drum, using a large number of ancient instruments such as guzheng and flute. It can be said to be a Chinese-style hip-hop song with high evaluation. The lyrics "Who is in the world, so what? Stop fighting, we respect martial ethics." All show the spirit that Li Lianjie wants to convey in the movie.
Liang Kun sighed: "I can't sing this thing even if I make it. Jay Chou's style is too strong, and the movie is still early."
"Then write something else, don't sing it yourself, and sell it to Jay Chou. The sky is blue and waiting for mist and rain, and I'm waiting for you, the smoke rises up, thousands of miles across the river..." The man in the mirror sang a few more sentences, and it was still the original version, which was very interesting.
It is really an attractive proposal to copy Zhou Jielun's songs and sell them to Zhou Jielun to earn Zhou Jielun's money. It's really an attractive proposal, and the logic is fine.
It would be boring to find someone who can sing the lyrics clearly to sing these songs, and it would become a style that lacks personality.
The subconscious mind also suggested that he play music and novels together, so that he could make it easier to promote himself.
"I understand that it is best to have a certain reputation before publishing a novel to sell well. Unfortunately, I only know one kind of instrument. Where do you think you can practice suona? Can I gain popularity by winning the instrumental competition in cities and universities?"
The person in the mirror said: "It should be possible. As long as you make young people willing to buy your books, you will be half successful. You can practice suona here in the afternoon. Two months is enough. You only have one skill. If you practice to level B too early, the system assistance will not be improved later. You might as well practice less every day and proceed step by step."
It is not a good idea to come here alone to practice suona at night. It is too quiet, so it is better to look in the mirror and write novels.
Liang Kun asked: "What after I practice the basics? Where can I find the audience? But the people from the Gulei Club cannot exercise their mental quality, right? It's different from playing on stage to perform and playing with them in normal times."
"You practice in school first. After a few weeks, many songs are familiar with each other and then go to the nearby park to find the audience to evaluate. You can also compose suona in the future. Don't just play the existing songs, do originals, and play a war song like "Fairy Tail". But you have to write the song yourself, and I can only refer to the original sounds of your original version."
Liang Kun did not know the music in his previous life and had never seen the original music songs, so he could only listen to the music first and then write the songs in reverse, which was a little more troublesome.
"I will consider composing famous songs for a while. I will write novels first, and I will not be able to chew too much." Liang Kun smiled and said, "And I want to make a plan. I will copy the works that are about to be published first, and keep the works that will not be released in the short term. Do you remember the years of the works?"
"I remember the information I have read, but I don't know what I have never read. When copying songs, you have to check the copyright. Some songs are released late, but they are actually written one or two years in advance. This situation exists. If you don't pay attention, you may be plagiarized."
"As long as you know how to check, the Internet is not very developed now."
Liang Kun would rather not copy than write a song that could crash a car. Once a literati writes a name for plagiarism, it will be difficult for him to turn things around in the future. Of course, there are exceptions, such as leaping hard and hitting Yao Ming in the knee with one punch...
After chatting for a while, Liang Kun opened his notebook and started writing novels. The people in the mirror said oral, and he copied them down. The man and the mirror were integrated and the writing was very pleasant. They could discuss how to change it to the Chinese background.
Even if you have to modify a lot of content, you only have a few hours a day to write novels or write them in your notebook. Liang Kun feels that he can complete a fine work in more than a month.
Chapter completed!
