Zhou Zhenfan is an online writer in his early thirties, with the pen name "Sword Soldier". He is good at classifying suspense, fantasy, martial arts and other works. He has been serializing novels on the Chinese martial arts website for several years and gained great popularity. He finally published it half a year ago.

A suspense novel that I wrote for a whole year with three million words was completed. I was in the stage of thinking about a new book, but suddenly I got a phone call from the editor of the website, which disrupted my thoughts on the new book.

The editor-in-chief sent a preliminary outline of a martial arts novel called "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" and asked Zhou Zhenfan to help write a full-length novel with no less than one million words.

The remuneration of five million yuan made Zhou Zhenfan even more stunned. After all, although he had tens of millions of words of creative experience, his total royalties were only for the latest completed suspense novel of three million words.

Just turned one million.

And now, with five million yuan to write a million-word martial arts novel, let alone his "Sword Soldier", all the writers who are good at this kind of martial arts Chinese network will probably flock to it.

Just when Zhou Zhenfan was about to make a move, the editor-in-chief sent a message: "This is a customized article. A trial draft is required. Party A agrees and recognizes your creation before signing the contract."

This was like a cold water poured on the head, which made Zhou Zhenfan feel chilled. Fortunately, he had experience in writing martial arts novels before, and he wrote according to the ideas of the early outline of the novel, and finally wrote a test of 20,000 to 30,000 words.

The draft will be submitted to Party A for evaluation.

Soon, half a month later, the good news came. After being selected by dozens of writers, Party A finally recognized the strength of "Sword Soldier" and made this movie called "The Legend of the Condor Heroes"

The work is handed over to the writer "Sword Soldier" for creation.

Not only that, the official martial arts novel website also agreed to help promote the novel "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" in all aspects. The martial arts novel website is one of the largest Chinese websites in China, with thousands of contracted authors for serialization, and the daily

With more than one million active users and many writers on the Rich List, it can be said to be a leading company in the novel industry.

But even so, when Hansen Studio offered an olive branch and wanted to cooperate with Wuxia Novel Network, the editors in the entire editorial department were shocked, and they immediately sent people from the headquarters in Donghai directly to the capital for negotiations.

After three days of inquiries, the preliminary outline of a novel titled "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" was successfully produced. The website carefully selected dozens of writers for Han Sen to test draft one by one before finally finalizing it.

The author "Sword Soldier" ghostwritten it.

"Get your position right." After the editor said this, he went to work.

After going through a lot of ups and downs and hardships, Yang Guo broke through the confinement of feudal ethics, and finally he and Xiao Longnu changed from master and apprentice to "heroic couple".

"I was in Hong Kong when the filming of "Kung Fu" started, and I saw with my own eyes one of the villain actors squatting on the ground and learning how to make a toad."

Zhou Zhenfan choked at this sentence and said: "But I am the author who created this novel."

"The Legend of the Condor Heroes" mainly takes the historical period from the fifth year of Emperor Ningzong of the Song Dynasty to the death of Genghis Khan as the background, and describes the story of the Southern Song Dynasty's struggle against the two powerful enemies of the Jin Kingdom and Mongolia.

"Not only is there 'Toad Kung Fu', I heard that there is also a pair of characters called the Condor Heroes. Of course, this is just a hearsay."

"How influential is a novel? It doesn't necessarily mean who is following whom. Don't you know that the novel "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" was written far behind "Kung Fu"? "Kung Fu" was written as early as the first half of the year

The project was established.”

In just three months, Zhou Zhenfan completed the one-million-word novel "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", which set off a huge wave of followers on the website. All novel authors were creating new books.

Sometimes I can't help but associate it with "The Legend of the Condor Heroes".

Zhou Zhenfan was a little frustrated. Although he knew that the editor was right, "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" was typed word by word by him. Although the copyright was not in his hands, he still felt that it was created by himself.

location.

"Isn't that normal?"

Just when Zhou Zhenfan had just finished writing "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" and was feeling complacent about receiving a huge sum of five million, the website editor offered another contract, the second part of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", "The Condor Heroes"

The cooperation outline of "The Couple".

After clicking on the relevant review information of "Kung Fu", Zhou Zhenfan's expression froze.

"Each character in "Kung Fu" has its own characteristics and story. In order to enrich the character's story, the producer will endorse some of the characters and even film related movie stories specifically for them..."

As long as the quality is good enough, breaking box office records in film history is something that often happens.

"Haha, this Han Sen is so loud. The Spring Festival slot has always been a battleground for various companies. The theaters haven't even scheduled movies yet, and he's talking wildly about winning the Spring Festival slot?"

Beautiful.

The editor-in-chief said: "This was originally a novel story dictated by Han Sen himself, and the screenwriter of "Kung Fu" is Han Sen. He has the absolute creative copyright and can adapt it however he wants."

"Holy shit, the author of Swordsman just created a novel called "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" today! The first chapter was just uploaded! If you don't believe it, go to the Wuxia Novel Network to read it!"

Han Sen also paid close attention to the process of Swordsman's creation of the Condor Trilogy.

He also intends to turn these three novels into films and TV shows in the future, and the original intention of writing these three novels is to educate viewers of the "Kung Fu" movie about what "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" is and what "Toad" is.

The meaning behind some exclusive nouns such as "Gong".

Because he saw the words "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" and "Toad Kung Fu" appearing.

"Even with Enlight's backing, it's impossible to win the Spring Festival movie so easily, right? After all, two or three Spring Festival movies in previous years were invested by Enlight Group. Is it necessary to sacrifice other Spring Festival movies for Han Sen's new movie?

Will the movie quota be replaced?"

In other words, as long as you stand on the wind outlet, even a pig can fly.

And "Kung Fu" can be scheduled to be released on the Lunar New Year's Day during the Spring Festival, thanks to Enlight Group's mediation.

First of all, this is Han Sen's new movie. Because the client of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" is Han Sen Studio, Zhou Zhenfan is quite concerned about the client of this novel.

After all, he had experience in creating tens of millions of words. Zhou Zhenfan didn’t pay much attention to the number of millions of words created. What’s more, the outline of “The Legend of the Condor Heroes” was even more legendary, which made him couldn’t help but think about it.

This story was written, so I gritted my teeth and accepted it!

After accepting this order, he had just created "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" as a book. As soon as he clicked to publish, Zhou Zhenfan saw some specific information and descriptions about the movie "Kung Fu" on Weibo's hot search.

The popularity of the "Condor Heroes" pair also completely made the story of Yang Guo and Xiao Longnu popular in the entire novel world, and as time went by, it became a topic that everyone talked about.

"Damn it, Han Sen is having sex with the 'Diao'? Does he want to create a 'Diao' universe?"

Why mainly describe characters?

This is something that Party A specifically requested in the contract. All characters must be written brilliantly, whether they are supporting roles or protagonists.

"All right!"

After seeing the comments from these netizens, Zhou Zhenfan immediately looked up the relevant information and soon came across rumors about the movie "Kung Fu".

"Damn it, Toad Kung Fu? Ouyang Feng?"

This is a relevant statement made by a self-proclaimed insider. After just reading the beginning, Zhou Zhenfan couldn't wait to knock on the editor's WeChat window: "Old editor, the movie "Kung Fu" is different from "The Legend of the Condor Heroes"

What does it matter?"

"Although Raytheon did not invest in "Kung Fu", it invested in Hanson Studio, so it can be regarded as an indirect investment in "Kung Fu"."

Against this background, classic characters such as Guo Jing, Huang Rong, Ouyang Feng, Wang Chongyang, Hong Qigong and others are vividly depicted on paper. In terms of character creation and plot arrangement, they break the traditional martial arts novels that are blindly legendary and use characters as plots.

The vassal creative mode insists on centering on the character image created for Little Pumpkin Blossom, insists on the character leading the story, and sets the plot according to the development needs of the character's personality and its inherent possibility and inevitability, thus making this novel achieve the goal of "even though everything is strange".

But it’s really a wonderful situation.

Zhou Zhenfan also quickly obtained the entire outline of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" after signing the contract. After a week of planning and saving, the novel titled "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" was officially uploaded.

But even so, the other party still insisted on writing a second part and wrote out the creative outline.

"You're just a ghostwriter."

Therefore, when writing this novel, Zhou Zhenfan had a vague feeling that "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" would most likely serve as a film and television work in the future.

In other words, Party A lost at least half for this customization.

Because of the official customization by the well-known author "Sword Soldier" and the strong recommendation of the martial arts novel network, "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" gained widespread popularity and was seen by countless readers as soon as it was uploaded.

The main plot of the novel is the love story between Yang Kang's orphan Yang Guo and his mentor Xiao Longnu.

Of course, in the face of such huge traffic, all kinds of capital will not easily send a big bad movie. Instead, they will strive for excellence to maximize profits and put the best and most competitive movies on the Spring Festival.

files.

"I don't understand. Both "The Condor" and "The Condor" were commissioned by Hansen Studio. There is a complementary relationship between the two."

And this "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" is even more legendary in terms of the arrangement of characters and plots. All readers who like martial arts novels are ecstatic about the appearance of this novel and cannot put it down.

In this way, when many people watch this movie, they will not be troubled by the name of Kung Fu in the movie.

"'Kung Fu' is almost entirely invested by Hanson Studio, which is extremely risky."

So I quickly wrote the story of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes".

This has also been privately affirmed by the editors-in-chief of the website. After all, Hansen Studio is backed by Enlight Group. Everyone knows that Enlight Group is rich in film and television works, and every film and television work can be called a classic.

The editor-in-chief sent a question mark.

"Can't you just stay in the music industry? Are you going to commit suicide in our film industry?"

Many people are angry.

Because he clearly saw the advertising revenue and subscription revenue of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes". Even if it caused a popular trend and was vigorously promoted by the website, the backend remuneration was only two to three million yuan.

"?"

The editor said: "Or translator, all the copyrights of this novel, whether it is the story or characters, belong to Han Sen. Otherwise, Han Sen would spend five million to customize the novel when he is full?"

Zhou Zhenfan continued: "Some characters or techniques in the movie "Kung Fu" come from "The Legend of the Condor Heroes"..."

Zhou Zhenfan's eyes widened.

The same requirement for a long novel with one million words is five million yuan.

Yang Guo started to learn martial arts from the 18-year-old Xiao Longnu when he was 14 years old. He practiced martial arts hard in the Ancient Tomb Sect. The master and apprentice had a deep and righteous relationship, and they fell in love with each other for a long time.
