Chapter 92: The Next Novel
A ray of early sun shone into the room in the morning. Bi Xia opened her eyes, turned her head to look at the scorching sun passing through the curtains, and looked at each other for a while. Bi Xia sat up.
Looking at the photo taken on the opposite wall, it was a family portrait, a family portrait of the crew of "The Legend of Sword and Fairy", Bi Xia laughed, and it seemed that there was a sound in front of her eyes and ears, and she saw the scene of the final banquet that day.
Whether it is Chen Qiuzi who just debuted, Lin Nana, Zheng Luotie, or Wu Meizi who has been in the entertainment industry for many years, Jin Shuai, they all have tears in their eyes, hugging each other and hugging each other, and being unrestrained, just to vent their reluctance in their hearts.
A crew is a school and a family. Everyone here is classmates and family. After several months of time, they have cultivated deep friendships. Farewell is always sad, and this emotion has infected dozens of people from all over the crew.
The next day, many people left without saying goodbye. Bi Xia understood them, just like him, afraid of facing parting.
It has been a week since he returned to the capital, and Bi Xia has not had time to spare this week. On the contrary, he is still very busy, and the post-production of "The Legend of Sword" has been put on the agenda. Because Huayi is an investor, Bi Xia is easily arranged to be in the post-production team at his own request. After this experience, Bi Xia's directorial enthusiasm has become more and more exciting, so he seized the opportunity to learn any place where he can learn. In the post-production team, Bi Xia learned how to use special skills to create the picture he wanted. He does not need to understand the technology, but just strive to know the principles.
He also learned how to edit and pieced together a continuous story among Chen Ke's numerous pieces.
Editing is a very important part of film and television dramas, and the success of editing also affects whether a film and television drama is excellent enough.
There is a movie in Bi Xia’s memory called "Memory Fragments", which is a very complex and human-minded movie. "Memory Fragments" is destined to be an ordinary work. The story of the movie is actually not too complicated, but it is difficult to understand. This is because it uses two parallel story lines. One flashback is presented in color and the other is presented in black and white. The two lines are interspersed every few minutes until the end of the film is seamlessly connected to the title.
It is a film and television work that uses flashbacks, but the question is why flashbacks are used to unfold the storyline? If the motivation for editing the film in this way is not for sensationalism, you should really pay attention.
First of all, the protagonist of the story suffers from a rare amnesia. He can only remember what happened within a few minutes, so that during the running, he doesn't know whether he was chasing someone or being chased. For him, life is fragmented. The film uses flashbacks and uses this abnormal narrative of the plot to let the audience enter the protagonist's inner world. Because the audience does not know what happened before, just like the protagonist's forgetting. So imagine if you use the regular narrative, the audience will only see a clown being influenced by others in the story, and the film must be dull.
It is precisely because of the particularity of this story that the ending of the regular film will not be wonderful. The initial elements of the story development are shocking, and as the ending of the film, it can have unexpected results.
This is exactly the role of editing. If this film adopts the commonly used regular narrative, it does not use two parallel lines to tell the story. Perhaps this film will be submerged in many films, just one of the inconspicuous movies.
Therefore, Bi Xia was very serious in learning, and he had to understand these things. He didn't want the videos he shot in the future to be cut in a mess during editing.
Of course, in addition to studying in the post-production group, Bi Xia is also doing the soundtrack. This work has been prepared for more than a month in Bi Xia. In fact, it is almost done. Bi Xia has the complete soundtrack of the original "Sword of Fairy" in his mind, and what he has to do is restore them based on these music, and of course he can also try to correct it.
Compared with the original TV series "Legend of Sword and Fairy", Bi Xia believes that its music, including the opening and ending songs, interludes, and soundtracks, are better than the TV series itself.
Especially the soundtrack is made by a master music master in memory. He has made soundtracks for more than 100 film and television dramas, and was nominated for Best Original Music for the Academy Awards, and has extraordinary strength.
With Bi Xia's level, he has no ability to improve these music. He can only make it first and then correct it after the teacher's Three Treasures arrive.
In his spare time, Bi Xia was also thinking about his next book. "The Fake Hero" has been uploaded for almost a year. The original novel of more than 4 million words has been revised by Bi Xia's more detailed description of the protagonist's feelings, and it has been more than 200,000 words. However, now it is about to end, and Bi Xia's next book is put on the agenda.
In fact, with Bi Xia's current income, the proportion of economic benefits brought by writing books will only gradually shrink, but Bi Xia does not care about this economic benefits.
When Bi Xia just retired from the army, the center was very confused and did not adapt to urban life. The book friends who started the prosperous era gave him motivation and strength in the fight and quarreled, and survived that brief discomfort. What's more, since Bi Xia participated in "The Avenue of Stars", these book friends have never left each other and helped each other. Whether it was the reward record that shocked the online literature circle or the large orders after the release of "Heart Road", they all touched Bi Xia.
This force that pushed Bi Xia and silently supported his group behind him was so cute, and it was also Bi Xia’s confidence and foundation for free to pursue his dreams in the cruel entertainment industry. Bi Xia did too little for them, so he could only work hard to write books, write novels they like, and repay them with the stories they like. In fact, the requirements of these book friends and book fans are really low. Their only requirement for Bi Xia is to write books seriously and write wonderful stories.
These book fans are so simple and so cute.
What's more, Bi Xia likes to tell stories since he was a child and likes to fantasize about some fantasy journeys. For him, whether it is creating music, directing, writing novels, or developing games, it is just a means of storytelling.
A song can be a life, a film and television can be a journey, a novel can be a life, and a game can be a magical experience. These are just means, and the core is that Bi Xia likes to tell stories and likes to share these fun and wonderful stories with everyone.
Speaking of novels, Bi Xia was also thinking about what aspects his little novel would be. Just like chatting with the three people who "Wandering Earrings" that day, Bi Xia really felt that the Chinese online literature industry should explore more fields. Compared with the online literature industry in memory, the Chinese online literature industry actually has a certain literary nature in its works. Even if they are still not accepted by traditional literature, there are one or two adapted from online literature to TV series every year, and there are also enthusiastic responses, but they are all traditional martial arts categories.
Because of the low entry threshold and uneven works in online literature, many authors are not old, or their lives are not satisfactory, or simply to cater to readers' tastes, some works have extreme personal thoughts, and from time to time throw out a lot of extremely extreme personal opinions, and even have people with distorted views.
This is an inevitable fact. Traditional literature must pass strict censorship. Although there is suspicion of banning freedom of speech, at least some speech that subverts the three views will not appear and spread.
In fact, in online literature, the more famous the authors are, the more orthodox their works are and the closer they are to traditional literature, which is very related to people's thoughts and living conditions. The more famous the authors are, the higher their income, the more stable their lives will be, the more peaceful their thoughts will be, and they will not go to extremes. Therefore, although their works also have strong personal emotions and opinions, these views are often relatively peaceful.
The reason why Bi Xia chose online literature is because the threshold for online literature is low, serialized creation and quick response. The second is that although online literature has various shortcomings compared with traditional literature, online literature also has advantages over traditional literature, that is, it is basically difficult for traditional literature to tell the truth.
This is also the fundamental reason why traditional literature has been shrinking in recent years. Today's people are not as convenient as before, the more information is spread, the more information the people receive, the stronger their ability to identify their ideas. Traditional literature, such a singular saying of praise, is difficult to resonate with everyone.
Bi Xia knows the disadvantages of online literature, but he cannot solve anything personally, so he can only do his own good. He does not ask for the noble character in his works, but he cannot be lower than the moral standard and try to spread positive energy. This is his requirement for himself. If his works can be paid attention to in the public and influence the moral views of some people, then Bi Xia will feel honored because he spreads positive energy.
In the next novel, Bi Xia thought about it before and chose the category of Xianxia. The Chinese Xianxia novels are basically traditional Xianxia. For example, novels like "The Legend of the Swordsman of Shushan" have excellent writing and ingenious conception. The biggest problem is that there is no category formed, which makes readers more confused.
The immortal and hero novels in the world in memory include fantasy cultivation, such as foundation building, golden elixir, Nascent Soul, Mahayana, and tribulation. Such cultivation carriers also include classical immortals, calming the gods, leaving the body, night travel, Yin God, and Yang God.
Not to mention which of the two worlds is more prosperous, but at least Bi Xia has to admit that the Internet authors of the world in memory have created a perfect world architecture and system for these virtual worlds. This is a great creation. Hua Xia still needs to explore more in this regard. Whether it is Eastern fantasy or Xianxia, there are countless themes to write. As long as the imagination is released, Bi Xia believes that the Chinese online literature industry can usher in a new opportunity for development.
