Chapter 2 Young Bao Qingtian
Liu Hongmin has never thought of writing about literature and art. The most popular subject at present is scar literature. Unfortunately, as a time traveler in the 21st century, he really has no scars from this era. Not to mention scars, he has never read any of the scar literature popular in this era, and he doesn’t even know how to write about it.
Fortunately, he watches a lot of movies and TV series. After time travel, the memory of these film and television dramas seems to have been strengthened, and even the details are still fresh in my memory.
Writing novels for him is like reading through TV series. The difference is not the content, but the writing style.
As a TV series, "Famous" is still very good, but it is somewhat delayed to adapt it into a novel. This story took several months to write, and the outline was changed over and over a dozen times to at least make it look less childish.
If he dares to write that Mother Bao is a fraud, he will definitely be sprayed to death by the Beijing University students. People nowadays are still very conservative, and they only think Liu Hongmin is ridiculous and generous.
Not only that, the heroine Ling Chuchu was directly cut off, and the responsibility of protecting Bao Zheng was temporarily given to Lu Yun, and Liu Hongmin set him up as Zhan Zhao's cousin. In the second unit, Zhan Jun was deleted and Lu Yun died, just in time to bring out Nan Xia Zhan Zhao's appearance.
There is another person who has been axed, and that is Gongsun Ce. His role functions overlap with that of the protagonist Bao Zheng.
Even in the TV series, the functions of Gongsun Ce and Bao Zheng overlap. Gongsun Ce was born as a failed scholar and was met by Bao Zheng at Daxiangguo Temple, so he did not need to appear so early.
The correct detective model has always been a combination of two people, one responsible for IQ and one responsible for force. Holmes and Watson, Conan and Xiaolan, Di Renjie and Li Yuanfang, Qin Feng and Tang Ren, it's all like this.
Liu Hongmin also set up such a combination for Bao Zheng, namely Bao Zheng and Zhan Zhao. The person who connected them was Lu Yun.
The main plot and the crime process do not need to be changed much, but the role of the Goryeo personnel is reduced. Goryeo is a vassal of the Northern Song Dynasty, how dare it do such a thing as attacking Luzhou City? As for waging war, there is no need to mention it. However, the death of the Goryeo Crown Prince was a very serious diplomatic incident, and coupled with the battle between the Eight Sages and Master Pang, it became the driving force for Bao Zheng to solve the case. Then integrate the previous changes into the main line to make the story worthy of consideration.
After Liu Hongmin finished writing the manuscript, he read it himself and found it a bit difficult to explain. This was his first time writing a novel, and his writing style was a mess. He also knew his own shortcomings, so he went to the library and borrowed "Three Heroes and Five Righteousnesses".
The domestic market for mystery novels is small, so there are not many good mystery novels. Although there are many foreign mystery novels, it is difficult to find one that is not mentioned, and the writing style has nothing worth learning from. The Shaobao origin of "Three Heroes and Five Righteousness" is a chivalrous koan novel. Chivalrous koan can be said to be an ancient mystery novel, and it has some reference significance.
While flipping through "Three Heroes and Five Righteousness", Liu Hongmin polished the manuscript of "Famous in the World". When he felt it was almost done, he went to find Zou Shifang.
"Old Zou, the manuscript is ready."
"Quick, let me take a look!"
Zou Shifang quickly stood up and took the manuscript from Liu Hongmin's hand. I couldn't wait to read it.
"Famous in the World" is only the first unit of Shaobao 1. Because the writing style borrows from "Three Heroes and Five Righteousness", the number of words is not very many, only about 70,000 to 80,000.
Zou Shifang read it very carefully. After all, this is a mystery novel. If you miss a detail, you may not understand the reasoning process. It took two hours before Zou Shifang put down the manuscript and said, "Hongmin, you wrote well!"
Liu Hongmin smiled, "Really or not? Don't lie to me!"
"Be confident!" Zou Shifang said: "We are all college students, not those big writers who have been famous for a long time. We can It’s pretty good to write it like this.”
“Although this is true, you must also consider talent.” Let the public judge it!"
"As expected of a philosophy student, you can really pull this off."
Zou Shifang looked at Liu Hongmin speechlessly, "From your mouth. I can’t hear a single good word here, but I still want to help you deliver the manuscript!”
Liu Hongmin stretched out his hand, “Then you will return the manuscript to me?”
“You’re dreaming!” Zou Shifang blocked his hand, "How can something in my hand be allowed to escape?"
After joking for a while, Liu Hongmin asked: "Old Zou, are you sure that my novel can be Selected? ”
“It should be fine.”
"Should?"
Zou Shifang was surprised, "I am not a novel editor. I only have the right to make suggestions, not decisions."
Liu Hongmin did not embarrass him. After all, Zou Shifang was just a sophomore. Just students.
"Okay, I'll go back and wait for your news. If the manuscript is rejected, just return it to me and I will submit it to an outside magazine."
Zou Shifang nodded, " No problem, I will hand over the manuscript to you right now. If it is rejected, I will return it to you as soon as possible."
With that said, he went out with Liu Hongmin and said goodbye. He joined the editorial department of "Weiming Lake".
Liu Hongmin was not idle either, and began to prepare Shaobao's second unit story, "Blood Altar".
There is a big bug in the Blood Altar, and that is the mysterious Chaoyi tribe. The Chaoyi people originated from Donghu and are of the same lineage as Xianbei Khitan. During the Eastern Jin and Southern and Northern Dynasties, he moved to the Yunzhong County area of Shanxi Province and was good at weaving, iron smelting, fishing, hunting and oil refining. During the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period, some Chaoyi people moved to Shandong, Henan, and Anhui to make sabers, armor, and boil tung oil for Chai Rong, Emperor Shizong of Zhou Dynasty, for use by the army. Later, in the late Northern Song Dynasty, the Chaoyi people gradually integrated into the Han people and disappeared in the long river of history.
So, the Chaoyi tribe in "Blood Altar" just borrowed their name, and their behavior and behavior are all fictitious.
TV dramas don’t have to be sophisticated, but writing novels has to look more reasonable. In Luzhou during the Song Dynasty, it was impossible for strange alien races to appear. The area had already been fully developed. Even if there were Chaoyi tribes, their living customs would be the same as those of the local Han people.
Liu Hongmin did not write about the Chaoyi people, but replaced him with a Liao spy. Otherwise, Shen Liang in "Famous in the World" appears very abruptly. It would make sense if a group of Liao spies built a village on the mountains near Luzhou and hid here. It just happens to be connected with Shen Liang, continuing part of the story of "Famous in the World", and filling in the hole where Shen Liang came from.
The village secretly established by Liao spies was discovered by people who thought they had treasures, so they were killed, which is completely reasonable. However, the murderers who massacred the Liao spies in the village could not only be four people, but also the soldiers in Mu Dutong's hands. At that time, Meng Fang and Chang Yu were able to survive because of Shen Liang's rescue, and the two became Shen Liang's source of information about Luzhou, so that they could quickly integrate into Luzhou and become Dao Tou.
